This money, in fact, is only loaned to them, for it quickly comes back to the hands of bribing Zion through these very women, and at the same time they have secured slaves for Zion." A comparison of these pages shows that Nilus merely added to Lutostansky's version the statement to be found in Butmi's version that the political plan for the peaceful conquest of the world for Zion, was devised in theory by Solomon and other sages _929 years before the birth of Christ_.

Lutostansky said in 1907 that "the head of the snake represents the sages of Zion, and the body--the Judean nation," while Nilus said that the "head should constitute the government of the Jews initiated in the plans of the sages (always masked even from their own people) and the body--the Judean nation." Thus the sages of Zion were transformed by Nilus into "the government of the Jews" in order to connect the "political plan" all the more closely with the "protocols." The American editors have omitted this part of the Nilus epilogue, evidently because it seemed even to them too absurd for American consumption.
All of the literature about the "protocols" that appeared in various parts of the world in 1920 is based on the "documents" vouched for by the mysterious Sergius Nilus, and fortified by the irresponsible Jew-baiter and intellectual pervert Ippolit Lutostansky.
That the Nilus-Lutostansky-Butmi campaign was just what the Tsarist government desired may be seen from the photographic reproduction of the letter sent to Lutostansky by Grand Duke Michael, who was regarded as the most liberal among the Russian Grand Dukes.

The letter appears together with other letters of congratulation from members of the Imperial family in the volume containing the passages quoted above.

] For the benefit of the antisemitic agitators in England, such as the editors of The Morning Post, The New Witness, The Spectator, Blackwood's Magazine, and a number of irresponsible publications needless to name, it will prove instructive and interesting to reproduce a few additional passages from the same volume, in order that they may know and appreciate not only what that authority said concerning the Jews but also what he thought of the English.
On pages 279, 282 and 283 of volume six of "The Talmud and the Jews," after outlining the alleged Jewish plot to gain world dominion, Lutostansky wrote, in 1907: "The English are typical pure-blooded Israelites.

In ancient times they were all red-headed, as we see from the descriptions in the Bible and the New Testament.
