"Arabs are no more fools than the
rest of us. However, millions of Arab citizens stayed
glued to their TV sets for 41 episodes - 41! - of a
rewrite of "Protocols of Zion," broadcast as a
TV miniseries by an Egyptian production company with the
nightmare name, 'Dream TV.'" http://emperors-clothes.com/letters/ringstrue.htm
I was watching Chris Matthews' program,
Hardball, awhile ago. I'm not sure of the date. They had
an Egyptian journalist, the Israeli Ambassador and an
American Official.
The Egyptian claimed [this] serial,
"Horseman without a Horse," had nothing to do
with "The Protocols of Zion." According to him,
one of the characters in the drama mentions it, to which
another responds that it is a hoax. I'm not sure how true
this is, but I was wondering if you could check up on it,
unless of course you verified this information already.

Peace to you too, and thanks for

Nobody at Emperor's Clothes watched the
41 episodes of "Horseman [or, Knight] Without a
Horse," broadcast out of Egypt, including by the
official State TV station.
We based our opinion on press write-ups.
Here are several.
According to the Egyptian paper, Al-Ahram,
Mr. Sobhi, who wrote and acted in the mini-series, said
it was based on "The Protocols."
"For over a year now, Sobhi and
the producers of Horseman Without a Horse have been
making press statements about how the series 'deals with'
or 'refers to' The Protocols of the Learned Elders of
Zion." -- Al-Ahram, 7-13 November 2002, Issue No.
611
An article in the Cairo Times noted
that some Western media were upset about the series. The
problem was not with Sobhi's talent but that:
[Start Excerpt from Cairo Times]
" ...the 41-part series is at
least partially inspired by the infamous Protocols of the
Elders of Zion - the alleged blueprint for Zionist global
domination almost universally regarded in the West as an
anti-Semitic fraud.
"Sobhi's series, Faris Belaa
Gawaad (Horseman without a Horse) features the actor
playing Hafez Naguib, a turn of the century Egyptian
journalist who dons more than a dozen disguises in his
efforts to uncover the truth behind the protocols. In a
unique arrangement, the series will be shown on both
Dream - the upstart private channel founded by
businessman Ahmad Bahgat - and on state-run television.
"'The series presents historical
facts commenting on the beginning of the Zionist presence
in the world,' series director Ahmad Badr Eddin told the
Cairo Times.
"Sobhi, who says he drew
inspiration from the Protocols 'along with other
historical sources,' claims the series proves that 18 of
the 24 protocols have already come to pass.'"

Volume 6, Issue 34 30 OCTOBER - 6
NOVEMBER 2002
MEMRI, the website that translates and
comments on Middle Eastern media, posted the following
from an article in the Egyptian weekly, Roz Al-Youssuf:
[Start excerpt from Roz Al-Youssuf]
"For the first time, the series'
writer courageously tackles the 24 Protocols of the
Elders of Zion, revealing them and clarifying that they
are the central line that still, to this very day,
dominates Israel's policy, political aspirations, and
racism... Subhi...found that 19 of the 24 protocols had
been put into practice. 'By means of the series,' Subhi
adds, 'I am exposing all the Protocols of the Elders of
Zion that have been implemented to date, in a dramatic,
comic, historic, national, tragic, and romantic manner.'"
[End excerpt from Roz Al-Youssuf]
According to MEMRI, Roz Al-Youssuf
stated that the series used quotes from "The
Protocols of Zion" such as, "we will damage [social]
morality with pornography, prostitution, and drugs, and
we will corrupt the world of the Gentiles," as well
as "Feed a dog, [but] not a Muslim or a Christian..."
and so on.
There are more quotes on the series
from Arab media at http://memri.org
It is often charged that for reasons of
Public Relations, Arab spokesmen temper the anti-Jewish
content of Arab TV programs and newspapers when dealing
with Western audiences. For example, that while a
politican may make a speech in Arabic in which he attacks
"the Jews," his words are translated into
English as, "the Zionists."
Perhaps the Egyptian journalist was
engaged in this sort of public relations.

JUDGMENT! Video Exposes the Phony 'Death Camp' Pictures that
Fooled the World
In
August 1992, millions of people were shocked to see
photographs of a supposed Bosnian Serb death camp.
The photos were
produced by ITN, the British TV news giant, from
footage shot by an ITN film crew which spent 15
hours in Bosnia.
Most of the
photographs featured a tall, painfully thin man,
stripped to the waist, apparently penned in
behind barbed wire.
Traveling with
the authorization of Radovan Karadzic, the Bosnian Serb leader, the
ITN crew filmed at a detention center in Omarska
and a refugee center in Trnopolje. The ITN photos
were broadcast worldwide beginning August 6th,
accompanied by sensational captions and comments.
For example Ian
Williams, one of the journalists who accompanied
the ITN crew, appeared on U.S. Public
Television's MacNeil-Lehrer Report on August 6th.
Mr. Williams referred to the Trnopolje refugee
center as a "camp," as in concentration
camp, saying it was "at the center of
allegations of atrocities." Williams claimed
that:
"Conditions
at this camp were appalling. In 100 degree
heat hundreds of men were forced to eat and
sleep outside in the field behind barbed wire."
-- MacNeil-Lehrer Report, 6 August 1992
And indeed, the
ITN photos seemed to show people living outside,
caged like animals behind barbed wire. But Mr.
Williams knew this impression was false. He knew
the Muslim refugees were moving about freely,
that it was the ITN people who were filming from
inside a small barbed wire enclosure. He knew the
ITN pictures had been doctored to create the
illusion of a death camp. This is *proved* in the
Emperor's Clothes video, 'JUDGMENT!'
By luck, a news
crew from Serbian State Television (called RTS)
covered the ITN visit. They went wherever ITN
went, filming what ITN filmed and filming the ITN
crew as well. Thus there is a visual record of
what the ITN people did and what they actually
saw. Using this footage, the 'JUDGMENT!' video
shows, step by step, how pictures of a
humanitarian refugee center at Trnopolje were
transformed into 'death camp' photos that fooled
the world.
The 'JUDGMENT!'
video proves that Ian Williams, now the UN
correspondent for the NATION magazine, and other
journalists who traveled to Bosnia with ITN, lied
to the public.
On 6 August 1992,
just *20 minutes* after the pictures were
released, George Bush held a press conference at
a Colorado Air Base:
"Reports say that 20 minutes
after the ITN footage was shown in the United
States, President George Bush changed his
hands-off policy and promised to 'press hard
for quick passage' of a UN Security Council
resolution authorising the use of force in
the Balkans."
-- "The Straits Times, August 16, 1992
"Holocaust images of Bosnia prison camps
make the West sit up," by Lee Siew Hua
Bush demanded that
the Serbs be harshly punished, including:
"tighten[ing]
economic sanctions on Serbia so that all
understand that there is a real price to be
paid for the Serbian government's continued
aggression."
Bush also
announced that the U.S. would recognize Croatia,
Slovenia and Bosnia as independent from
Yugoslavia. He thus approved the break-up of
Yugoslavia and guaranteed that the Bosnian war
would continue.
Consider the
remarkable speed with which President Bush
reacted.
Some photos are
shown on TV.
Immediately,
President Bush contacts his cabinet members, who,
coincidentally, have also seen the photos.
They confer.
Somehow they determine that the pictures are
genuine.
They contact
leaders of, at least, Germany and England,
possibly other countries. They plan draconian
anti-Serb measures including economic sanctions
that will cut Serbia off from the world.
They contact
congressional leaders. They agree that Bush will
announce the US intent to recognize no fewer than
three new Yugoslav secessionist states.
They call a press
conference at a Colorado Air Base. They write a
press release. They compose Mr. Bush's statement.
The mass media
receives the press release. Film crews travel to
the Air base and set up their equipment.
Isn't it more
likely that the timing of the TV broadcast of
these pictures was coordinated between ITN and
either the State Department, the CIA or some
similar body? That Bush scheduled his press
conference to be held just after the pictures
were shown so ordinary people would believe that
these terrible pictures compelled President Bush
to endorse extreme measures?
Perhaps ITN's trip
to Bosnia, supposedly to "investigate claims
that concentration camps had been set up" (Strait
Times), was planned from the outset as a hunt for
footage which could be used to produce such
doctored evidence.
ITN had a prior
history of aggressively anti-Serbian coverage of
the break-up of Yugoslavia. So one might ask, why
did the Bosnian Serb leadership give ITN access
to Trnopolje and Omarska, about which the Western
media (for example, NEWSDAY, 21 July 1992) were
already spreading nightmare tales? Perhaps they
hoped that if they just let the ITN people see
for themselves, ITN would be fair. They did not
comprehend the moral standards of the people with
whom they were dealing.

The following material deals with the "Protocols
of Zion."
1) In 1921 the London
Times published Philip Graves famous articles showing how
"The Protocols of Zion" was plagiarized from
Maurice Joly's "Dialogues in Hell." We have
scanned the original articles as pdf files and also
transcribed them. Both formats can be accessed in the
article, "The Source of "Protocols of Zion," at http://emperors-clothes.com/antisem/graves-tran.htm
2) We have published three
pieces of our own on the Protocols:
