Maude’s colleagues at this time included former members of Britain’s wartime propaganda bureau in Petrograd, Harold Williams, Bernard Pares and Hugh Walpole, who were working closely with Winston Churchill on a no-holds barred campaign to destroy Lenin's Bolsheviks. A closer look at Shanks' background also reveals he was the nephew of Aylmer Maude, the famous friend and translator of Tolstoy who became a leading voice in the pro-Interventionist movement of the Russian Affairs Committee during the Russian Civil War of 1917 to 1922. A recent find in the Department of Early Printed Books and Special Collections at Trinity College Dublin revealed that George Shanks, the man who published the first English translation of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion in January 1920 was working as a clerk in the Chief Whips Office at 12 Downing Street under Coalition Whip, Freddie Guest. Please join me on Twitter: On the 100th anniversary of the book being exposed as a hoax, I ask if the 1920 British translation of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion the work of ‘lone wolf’ anti-Semite George Shanks, or part of a sophisticated propaganda offensive conceived and financed at the highest levels of the British Establishment. The Protocols of the Elders of Zion is a fake, as this unfinished draft of book sets out to prove. Please note that this book DOES NOT support the paranoid notion that The Protocols is real.
