Lesley Fry ( aka Leslie Fry or Louise Fry ), who is frequently referred to by her married name Paquita Louise "Mady" de Shishmareff ( or Shishmarev ) ( February 16, 1882 - July 15, 1970 ), [1][2][3] is primarily known for her authorship of Waters Flowing Eastward,[4] one of the most profound books ever written on the infamous Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion.[5][6][7][8][9]


Lesley ( Leslie, or Louise ) Fry was born in Paris, France. It is believed that her father was John D. Fry ( July 1819 - Feb. 3, 1901 ), a San Francisco banking, mining ( silver and gold ) and real estate magnate, but research has not yet verified this. A child of extraordinary mental capacity, Lesley was educated in French convents and British private schools. She married a member of the Russian aristocratic Shishmarev ( Shishmareff ) family who was a man of rank in the Czar's Army. When the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 was at hand in Russia, Lesley's husband sent her with their two sons ( along with the family fortune ) to safety in the United States. Unfortunately, shortly after Lesley left Russia accompanied by her sons, her husband was murdered by the Bolsheviks.[10]


Lesley is listed in the 1920 U. S. Federal Census ( under the name Paquita Deshishmareft ) as residing in Westchester County, New York. It is believed that she moved to California in 1926. It is believed ( this has not been verified yet ) that the author Michael Fry[11][12] ( who is also listed in the Catalog of the Library of Congress under this name: Shishmareff, Michael Theodore Fry de[13] ) ( Jan. 17, 1910 - July, 1983 )[14] was one of Leslie's sons and that he is the same person who is listed in the 1920 U. S. Federal Census ( under the name Misha Deshishmareft ) as residing with her in Westchester County, New York. Lesley Fry's extensive anti-communist activities in the 1930s-1950s time period are covered in detail by Glen Jeansonne in Women of the Far Right: The Mothers' Movement and World War II ( 1996 ).


Lesley met Henry Ford in or around 1920, and presented him with a copy of the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion. In April 1921 Lesley published an article in the French antisemitic journal La Vieille France contending that in reality the Protocols had been written by Asher Zvi Hirsch Ginsberg ( Ginzberg ) ( 1856-1927 ), who was widely known under the name Ahad Ha'am ( meaning "one of the people" ). This article was translated and published as a booklet in Russian ( 1922 ) and German ( 1923 ). The antisemitic writer Count Ernst [Christian Einar Ludwig Detlev] zu Reventlow ( 1869-1943 )[15] read Lesley's article and subscribed to her theory of Ginsberg as the author of the Protocols. In August 1921, five days after Philip Perceval Graves ( 1876-1953 )[16] exposed the Protocols as an apparent plagiarism/forgery/hoax in a series of three consecutive anonymous articles ( dated August 16-18, 1921 )[17] in The Times of London ( Graves was the unnamed "Constantinople Correspondent" of The Times who wrote the articles ), Reventlow published an article in a German journal in response to Graves' anonymous articles, claiming that Lesley was right and that Ginsberg was the actual author of the Protocols. In response to Reventlow's article, Ginsberg granted the Zionist Organization a power-of-attorney to sue Reventlow. The trial opened in March 1923 and ended on April 19, 1923, at which time Reventlow expressed regret for having endorsed Lesley's views, declared that his own article's statements were untrue, and agreed to cover the expenses of the trial ( 150,000 marks ) as well as to publicize the terms of the compromise which had been reached.

Essentially, Lesley formulated the view that Jews were to blame for both World War I and Bolshevism, alleging that Freemasons were involved as well. The aim was "World Domination". All this was deduced from the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion.
