In my view the Protocols describe a method to undermine society particularly through ecomonics while making expert use of human nature to carry the program along. The depth of knowledge concerning human weakness that is so diabolically exploited in the Protocols leads me to believe that the authors were possessed. Nations that are 'rotting' from the inside are easy prey to powerful despots. Read Isaiah 15:4-23 paying particular attention to verses 12 & 16. The Protocols include such things as, deliberately corrupting the arts, music, and education in order to produce a hedonistic society ripe for destruction because of it's own internal corruption. Here is the definition of hedonism from a dictionary; (1) belief in pleasure as the highest good and proper aim of humans. (2) behavior based on this.
Pleasure, I would like to point out, was created by the Lord to be enjoyed by man but subject to His laws. Man has on the other hand made pleasure (and himself) his god instead and so ended up rejecting God as his Lord and thus became base, little better than (and sometimes worse than) a beast in behavior.
The program of world domination is actually very simple and is still founded on the same principles that Satan introduced in the garden. It's called in the New Testament, 'the mystery of iniquity' and is based on mankind being controlled by, 'sin' rather than by the Spirit of God. IE. "Ye shall not surely die" & "Ye shall be as gods"
Satan of course in order to hide from man the liberty (and redemption) purchased for us at the cross has provided many religious counterfeits that play on human nature (IE. pride, lust, etc.) His main platform consists, as usual, in casting doubt on God's Word. (Or REPLACING God's Word with other writings.) (IE. The New King James Bible has many adulterations in it not to mention the stylized 666 mark on the front cover.)

In, 'The Prince' by Machiavelli, the following quote is found. Can you identify the ruler that he was careful not to mention?
"One prince of the present time, whom it is not well to name, never preaches anything else but peace and good faith, and to both he is most hostile, and either, if he had kept it, would have deprived him of reputation and kingdom many a time. "
