Unfortunately, some 'researchers' are intent on instant judgement and condemnation, and are unwilling to allow our particular *process* of research and debunking of the 'Protocols' occur. We've just begun this particular effort and have already received and posted several excellent pieces onsite exposing the book as a fraud. (The Protocols have never been posted on our site.) This is how we've exposed hoaxes for years...via interactive, two-way research projects with our worldwide internet site visitors...who enjoy and appreciate the chance to participate. This current effort began the moment the Rabbi sent the Protocols link to us. Contrary to what one person suggested: "and (the Protocol hoax) is so well known, that I'd think every educated person would know what it is." No, SORRY. 'Every educated person' does NOT know about it. And the UNeducated have a RIGHT to know. This is a dangerous, myopic elitist assumption and thoroughly misses the point of being ever-vigilant about frauds like the material in question. Considering the potential harm this docment can cause to people who are unaware of it's hoaxed nature, the value in exposing such material in the open cannot be overestimated. Fascists and book burners come in all colors and flavors. Fascists are fascists. Book burning is book burning. It doesn't work both ways. Obviously, the net permits the researcher/voyager total control of choice with a finger tip click of a mouse. Free will. Freedom of choice. We trust the ability of our site visitors to think and intelligently discern. We will not be unduly pressured by anyone...especially those who would seek to tell the masses how to think and dictate what is fit and appropriate for them to read and to consider. Fiction or non-fiction. As has always been our policy, our mission is to ferret out frauds and hoaxes just as we are doing with the Protocols. We shall continue.
