L. Fry


L. Fry was the pen name of Paquita Louise de Shishmareff. Her name is given as Paquita Deshishmaref in the SSDI. She was an antisemitic, pro-Christian activist, who is primarily known for her authorship of Waters Flowing Eastward, a book which asserts that Jews were to blame for both Capitalism and Bolshevism, and that it was primarily certain Jews who started World War I. She alleged that certain Freemasons were involved as well. She postulated that the ultimate aim of these particular Jews and Freemasons was "World Domination". These conclusions were based in part on her study of the infamous Protocols of the Elders of Zion.

Family background

Leslie Fry's maiden name was Louise A. Chandor. At this time it is not definitely known what her middle name was, but an educated guess is that it was "Arabella". Louise's father John Arthur Chandor had an older sister named Arabella, so it's quite possible that he gave his daughter Louise the middle name "Arabella" in honor of his sister. Also, the names "Louise" and "Arabella" were popular names for women in this branch of the Chandor family. Louise was born in Paris, France, the daughter of John Arthur Chandor and Elizabeth Fry Ralston.
Elizabeth Fry married William Chapman Ralston on May 20, 1858 in San Francisco. Soon after their marriage, W. C. Ralston rose to become a San Francisco banking and real estate magnate. In fact, W. C. Ralston became a living legend, who after his death was widely acclaimed as "the man who built San Francisco." However, their marriage was not a happy one, and it finally ended in disaster on August 27, 1875, when William drowned while swimming in San Francisco Bay. After the settlement of her husband's estate, in December 1875 Elizabeth embarked on a steamer to Europe, intending to settle in Paris with her children. It is reported that she first met John Arthur Chandor on this steamer, and that he soon joined her in Paris, even though he had been recently married in New York City. It is not known at this time if J. A. Chandor and Elizabeth ever married, but nevertheless their friendship resulted in the birth of Louise A. Chandor in Paris on Feb. 16, 1882.
Louise's paternal grandparents were Laslo Philip Chandor and Laura Mannabourg. Laslo was an Austrian-Hungarian adventurer, inventor and businessman, who had emigrated to the U. S. in the 1840s. As a businessman and inventor, Laslo had a great interest in lighting and in providing improved lighting systems for cities. In the early-to-mid 1860s he obtained contracts to provide an improved public lighting system for the city of St. Petersburg, Russia. Laslo obtained these contracts by cultivating business relationships with various U. S. diplomats who were involved in U. S.-Russia trade relations during this time. Later, Laslo was involved in the burgeoning oil and gas industries in Russia. Laslo's son John Arthur Chandor, who was Louise's father, was also involved in various business activities in Russia.

Early Life in Europe and Russia, 1882-1917

Louise spent considerable time living in St. Petersburg while her grandfather and father were engaged in business activities there. In 1906 Louise got married in St. Petersburg to Feodor Ivanovich Shishmarev, an officer in the Russian Imperial Army. The Shishmarev family was part of the Russian aristocracy. Feodor was murdered in 1917 by Bolsheviks during the Russian Revolution, but before his murder he had the foresight to send Louise with their two sons, and the family fortune, out of the country to safety. During the Bolshevik Revolution, Paquita and her sons moved to Tiflis, Russia, where they lived under the protection of the American Consulate in Tiflis.

Activities in the United States and Europe, 1917–1970

In the mid-summer of 1917 Paquita and her sons left Tiflis and traveled to the eastern Russian port city of Vladivostok, where they boarded the steamship S. S. Goentoer and left Russia, their destination being San Francisco, California. Paquita and her sons arrived in San Francisco on August 31, 1917.
According to the 1920 U. S. Federal Census records, in 1920 Paquita and her son Misha were living in Mamaroneck, New York, while her son Kyril was attending Mount Tamalpais Military Academy. It is believed that Paquita moved back to California about 1926. She was associated with fascist political circles during this period. Her wealth allowed her to financially support right-wing nationalists.
Paquita met Henry Ford in or around 1920, and presented him with a copy of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. She conceived the Protocols as part of a conspiracy according to which a group led by the "cultural Zionist" Asher Ginzberg plotted world domination. However, at the time Ginzberg merely supported an international Jewish cultural and political revival, not the planning and formation of an actual Jewish state.
Antisemitic writer and Nazi ideologist Ernst Graf zu Reventlow named Fry as his source for his own view that Ginzberg was the author of the Protocols. After Philip Graves provided evidence in The Times of London that the Protocols were in reality a composite document which, for the most part, had been constructed/plagiarised from a variety of other writings which had been published previously to the appearance of the Protocols, Reventlow published his support for Fry's theory in the periodical La Vieille France. Ginzberg's supporters sued Reventlow, who was forced to retract his allegations and pay damages.
Strongly opposed to Roosevelt's New Deal, Fry argued that it represented "the transformation of the Constitutional form of American government into that of the Kahal, or Jewish form of government. It has been called the New Deal and the Jew Deal. Both are correct and synonymous."
She was involved in various fascist organisations of the 1930s, and founded the nationalist and isolationist Christian Free Press, "an anti-Semitic newspaper modeled after Germany's infamous Der Sturmer". She joined forces with Henry Douglas Allen in a failed attempt to revitalize the Ku Klux Klan. Documents found by San Diego police in Allen's briefcase in 1938 implicated Fry as a paid Nazi agent, but she escaped prosecution at the time. However, she later became estranged from Allen and accused him of misappropriating money from her.
In 1940 she fled to fascist Italy, but returned the US after the attack on Pearl Harbor. She was interned on Ellis Island and indicted for sedition, but charges were dropped and she was released after the end of the war.

Origin of the ''Protocols'' according to ''Waters Flowing Eastward''

Fry's major work, Waters Flowing Eastward, attempted to prove that the Protocols were part of a plot to destroy Christian civilization. The apparent conflict between Communism and Capitalism was a smoke-screen for Jewish domination, as outlined in the Protocols. The claim repeated by many authors that the Protocols first came to light in 1884 via Justine Glinka, was originally put forth by Fry in the 1st edition of Waters Flowing Eastward, in a chapter of the book titled "How the Protocols Came to Russia".
According to Fry's account, Justine Glinka, the daughter of Russian diplomat Dmitry Glinka, was endeavouring to serve her country by obtaining political information in Paris, which she forwarded to General Orgevskii. In 1884 a Jewish Freemason named Joseph Schorst sold Justine a manuscript copy of the Protocols for 2,500 francs. Fry believed that Schorst had smuggled this copy of the Protocols out of the archives of one of the Mizraïm Masonic Lodges in Paris. According to records in the archives of the Sûreté, Schorst eventually fled to Egypt, where he was murdered. This manuscript of the Protocols then supposedly found its way into the hands of Sergei Nilus, who was the first person to publish it in its entirety under a single cover.

Occult Theocrasy

Fry and her close friend Edith Starr Miller spent about 10 years researching many of the most important secret societies existing at that time in Europe and in the Middle East. They detailed their findings in Occult Theocrasy , a work whose publication was completed shortly after Edith's death. This work is now widely regarded as a "conspiracy classic." Occult Theocrasy summarizes what was known at that time about the organizations and secret societies which collectively form what is now referred to, variously, as the Cabal, the Illuminati, the One World Government, the Secret World Government, or the New World Order. Although Occult Theocrasy is not an authoritative work in the strict sense, some sections of it are vastly more informative and revealing than others. Also, as a whole, Occult Theocrasy was more comprehensive and up-to-date in its subject-matter than any other similar work available in the English language at that time. The work contains overt antisemitic elements and attributes much of world history to a conspiracy of Jews. It gives credence to the infamous Protocols of the Elders of Zion, and has two chapters that express praise for the mission of the Ku Klux Klan. Most of the source information for Occult Theocrasy is listed in the book's bibliography. The work also features a brief occult glossary, and a detailed index.

Politico-Occult-Judaeo-Masonry Chart

Fry compiled an elaborate chart called the , This presents a summary of all the most important information which was published in Occult Theocrasy. This chart shows the interconnections between all the organizations which Fry and Lady Queenborough claim were/are involved in the alleged Jewish masterplan for world domination. The chart consists of a sheet of paper, printed on both sides. On the chart Fry illustrates how the Jewish masterplan is linked to various Judaic, Masonic, Occult, and World-Political organizations, such as the Bavarian Order of the Illuminati, founded by Adam Weishaupt on May 1, 1776, and the League of Nations.
