"Protocols: Number 24, paras. 3-15 Certain members of the sneed of David will prepare the kings and their heirs inducting them into the most secret mysteries of the political, into schemes of government, but providing always that none may come to knowledge of the secrets.... The king's plan of action for the current moment, and all the more so for the future, will be unknown, even to those who are called his closest counselors.

Tell me of the height of the mountains of the moon, or of the diameter of space, and I may believe you, but of the secret history of the Almighty, and I shall pronounce thee mad.
