Key words:
•
Protocols of the Elders of Zion: A document considered by some to be factual record of a Jewish conspiracy seeking to overthrow Europe’s Christian governments16.
◦
"Although I thought that the Protocols had probably been fabricated, I noted that many very highly regarded contemporaneous sources had at least initially regarded it as the factual record of a Jewish conspiracy seeking to overthrow all of Europe’s Christian governments and ultimately seize control of the world"16.
•
Nesta Webster: A British writer who published a lengthy historical analysis of the French Revolution and whose work was used by The Morning Post4.

Freemasonry: A movement that Webster claimed was used by the Illuminati as a vehicle for revolutionary plotting6.
