abstract
| - The absence of evidence for such a world-spanning conspiracy is taken as further demonstration of the influence of the conspirators, who are understood to be working to suppress evidence of their activity. It is possible to trace the existence of antisemitism in Spain to the Middle Ages, since it was a useful mechanism to divert social conflicts using Jews as scapegoats, to whom all kinds of evil plots were attributed, such as starting plagues, kidnapping and ritualistic killing of infants, and the profanation of Christian sacraments, as the case of the Santo NiƱo de La Guardia; but since the disclosure of the alleged The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, these conspiracy theories were becoming more complex. The fact that Karl Marx was born in a Jewish family, together with the Jewish origin of some prominent communist leaders, made it possible to add socialist movements to the conspiracy, as participants of the same ideology.
