According to this infamous text, a secret cabal of Jews seek to dominate world affairs. The Protocols were foisted on the public by the Russian Secret Police at the conclusion of the 19th century and remain notorious to this day in terms of the degree of anti-Semitism the work has spawned. See C.G. De Michelis, The Non-Existent Manuscript (2004), pp. 11-12; A. Julius, Trials of the Diaspora: A History of Anti-Semitism in England (2010) p. 56; EJ, Vol. VI cols. 581-83.
