Orlin Grabbe</A> ----- Information Warfare Author of the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion" Identified? A member of the Tsarist secret police who became a Bolshevik. THE author of the notorious anti-Semitic forgery, Protocols of the Elders of Zion, has been identified as a Russian propagandist who served both the Tsar and the Bolsheviks. The Protocols have proved an inspiration for generations of anti-Semites all over the world, despite having proved to be fake within a few decades of their appearance at the beginning of the century. They purport to reveal a secret Jewish-Masonic conspiracy to overthrow monarchy and Christian civilisation through the manipulation of wars, revolutions and capitalism, paving the way for world Jewish domination. Research by a leading Russian historian, Mikhail Lepekhine, in recently opened archives has found the forgery to be the work of Mathieu Golovinski, opportunistic scion of an aristocratic but rebellious family who drifted into a life of espionage and propaganda work. After working for the Tsarist secret service he later changed sides and joined the Bolsheviks. Mr Lepekhine's findings, published yesterday in the French magazine L'Express, would appear to clear up the last remaining mystery surrounding the Protocols. Though banned in Europe, copies are still to be found in Middle Eastern bookshops. Golovinski was born in 1865 in Ivachevka in the Simbirsk region. His father, a friend of Dostoyevsky who was condemned to death for his part in a plot then pardoned, died when he was 10 leaving him to be brought up by his mother and a French governess. His subsequent career evokes the world of assassination and intrigue described in Joseph Conrad's Under Western Eyes, as revolutionaries and reactionaries struggled for the soul of Russia. He briefly studied law before drifting into the Holy Brotherhood, an anti-Semitic secret society which used forgery as a tool against the revolutionaries, publishing phoney newspapers and tracts. His contacts there found him a job in the government press department where he acted as a Tsarist spin doctor, placing articles in compliant newspapers and paying the salaries of certain journalists. When his chief protector died and he was publicly denounced by Maxim Gorky as an informer he was forced to look for work abroad and chose Paris. There he made contact with the head of the Russian secret police, Pierre Ratchkovski, who put him to work writing pro-Russian stories to be planted in the French press. Later he was charged with a more important mission. Reactionary circles in Moscow, dismayed at the progress being made by modernisers in the court of Nicolas II, hit on the idea of a forgery that would demonstrate to the tsar that the rising tide of capitalism in Russia was really a Jewish conspiracy aimed at overthrowing him and the old order. At the end of 1900 or the beginning of 1901 Golovinski was set to work. He leant heavily on a pamphlet written in 1864 by an anti-Bonapartist lawyer who claimed Napoleon III was engaged in a plot to usurp all the powers of the French people. The London Telegraph, November 19, 1999 How We Love PM Mahathir Malaysia Struck by Mad Kow-Tow Disease Businessmen and educators latest to succumb to brain-destroying epidemic. KUALA LUMPUR. A devastating outbreak of Mad Kow-Tow disease swept Malaysia last week as hundreds of victims fell to their knees in humiliating homage to Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad. With General Elections coming soon, the ACCIM and the Federation of Chinese Associations of Malaysia last week pledged to fully support Prime Minister Mahathir. "We sincerely pledge to support every measure taken in facing any threat to the integrity and sovereignty of the country, its economy and glorious leadership," ACCCIM assistant secretary-general David Chua declared at a press conference, foaming in the mouth as he was led away by men in white coats. Mad Kow-Tow disease attacks the brain and eliminates any sense of integrity, self-respect and independent thought in the minds of sufferers. The disease then eats away at the body until the backbone crumbles and the testicles wither away. Some of the worst cases have been diagnosed with eyesight problems, experiencing episodes of blindness to human rights violations, corruption, cronyism and authoritarianism. Victims have also exhibit an uncontrollable urge to fall on their knees and apply their tongues to the anuses of passing Prime Ministers or Barisan Nasional politicians. Because of its similarity to the Mad Cow disease that struck Britain last year, police are investigating the possibility that the Mad Kow-Tow disease is yet another evil foreign plot to destroy Malaysia. The Health Minister declared in a press conference today that his Ministry has assessed the Mad Kow-Tow epidemic and now knows as much about is as they do of the J-E and Nipah virus - absolutely nothing. However, scientists suspect that the source of the virus may be livestock feed that was tainted by sewage from local newspaper reports. When interviewed, victims of the Mad Kow-Tow disease said that they realised they had a problem but it was a matter of life-and-death. "In these difficult times, I'd swear blind allegiance to Adolf Hitler if I had to," one businessman admitted. "I have a condo in Queensland and a villa in Swizerland to look after," he said woefully. "I don't know what all the fuss is all about," another victim continued. "People like Ling Liong Sik have been kow-towing for years." Not the Straits Times, November 18, 1999 German Politics Buying the German Elections Cash payoff in a parking lot. ALLEGATIONS of corruption have returned to haunt Germany's Christian Democrats (CDU) with the disclosure that in 1991 the party's accountant took delivery of a briefcase containing a million marks (�350,000) in banknotes in a car park in Switzerland. The most worrying problem for the CDU is not the transaction, but the possibility that it will prove to be only the tip of an iceberg of illegal contributions to party funds. Karlheinz Schreiber, a Bavarian arms dealer now under arrest in Canada, has admitted to German authorities that he handed over the money. The Germans are seeking to extradite him on charges of bribery and tax evasion. He said the money was a simple donation to CDU funds by an unknown third party and had nothing to do with the permission granted six months earlier by the government of the then Chancellor, Helmut Kohl, to the Thyssen concern to export 36 armoured personnel carriers to Saudi Arabia. Mr Schreiber helped to broker this deal, which the Kohl government at first blocked before giving its consent in February 1991. The CDU's published accounts show no trace of Mr Schreiber's million marks even though he said that he handed the briefcase containing the cash to Horst Weyrauch, an accountant and auditor who was close to Mr Kohl and who remains to this day a key figure in the management of the party's finances. Walther Leisler Kiep, 73, the treasurer of the CDU for 21 years until 1992, admitted to prosecutors that he was also present when the money was handed over outside a shopping centre at Sankt Margrethen, a few miles from the German border on the Swiss side of Lake Constance. Mr Kiep is under investigation by the public prosecutor in Augsburg on suspicion of failing to pay tax on part of the money, which the authorities believe he used to settle legal bills incurred during his successful appeal against his conviction in connection with the Flick affair, in which the CDU and the Free Democrats were found to have received huge illegal donations from German industry during the Eighties. A committee of MPs is due to start investigating the Kiep affair next week and will also be examining what other illegal contributions the CDU received. Under German law any contribution of more than 20,000 marks a year to a political party must be listed in its accounts. If the CDU is found to have broken this law, it could have to pay back public money it received. Mr Kohl, who was chairman of the CDU from 1973 to 1998, has denied all knowledge of the donation. "You want to start a smear campaign, I can see that in your face," he said to one journalist who tried to question him about the affair. "Clear off now." Social Democrat and Green MPs want to investigate whether the CDU received money from Elf, the French oil company which the German government allowed to take over the Minol chain of petrol stations and the Leuna oil refinery in the former East Germany after German reunification in 1990. Until the CDU's defeat last autumn it was able to block the release of official documents which may show how Elf gained permission for the takeover. Chancellor Schr�der's government has good reason to allow the release of these papers, especially as it is far behind the CDU in the opinion polls. The financial situation of the CDU improved dramatically in the years 1988 to 1992, with a large deficit (89 million marks) transformed into a modest surplus (more than 10 million marks), leading some observers to argue that the deficit could have been cleared with undeclared gifts. The CDU has sought to deter Mr Schr�der's Social Democrats from delving too deeply into the Kiep affair by threatening to investigate the financing of a house belonging to Bodo Hombach, until earlier this year one of Mr Schr�der's closest colleagues but now in charge of the European Union's Balkan aid. Mr Schr�der was on chummy terms with Mr Kiep until recently, describing him as "a German patriot" and a man "with whom you can go horse-stealing".
