Villainy of "Protocols" peddlers

Reader comment on item: The Paterson 'Protocols'

Submitted by William Joseph Ford (United States), Nov 5, 2002 at 16:09

Shining light in fetid places often cleanses. I hope your article has such an effect.

In the '50's Russell Maguire took over The American Mercury, making it into an outlet for anti-semitic ravings,and Bill Buckley, God bless him, decreed that no one who wrote for Am.Merc. could appear in National Review,and he drove such ravings beyond the pale of the legitimate conservative movement. It worked rather well,and saved us great grief and shame.

In '56 or '57 I went to the Newberry Library here in Chicago to research the myths of anti-semitism,and learned much of value.
E.g. was a novel by Maurice Joli, pub.1864, in Brussels, I believe, and was the source when re-written for the fraud . Joli was merely describing the statecraft of the Emperor of France(Machiavelli)and the proper Republicanism(Montesquieu).

While being Irish Catholic,I developed a long study of such follies, partly in self-defense against false accusations, but also to help fellow conservatives keep their bearings,and refute calumnies against their/our cause.

The vile activities of the Arab Vioce must be further exposed,and God bless you for your efforts.You do a marvelous job.

PS Buckley has performed his service often times since.
