Biography

A former boulangiste and Freemason, Copin-Albancelli used his experience to become one of the most vehement detractors of Freemasonry, which he, along with many anti-Dreyfusards of the time, associated with Jewish conspiracies. At the turn of the 20th century he founded the anti-Masonic and antisemitic newspapers À bas les tyrans (Down with tyrants) (with André Baron (Louis Dasté), and La Bastille. He led the league in defense against Freemasonry, which merged in 1906 with two leagues created by Émile Driant. The new entity was named Ligue française anti-maçonnique[1] (French anti-Masonic League), and it also lived up to its name by invigorating the anti-Masonic movement. He was also occupied with publishing the society's publication La Renaissance française.

Copin-Albancelli was also one of the principal militant nationalists and royalists of Action Française. He collaborated on the Revue d'Action Française which became L'Action française edited by Charles Maurras. In parallel with these activities, Copin-Albancelli was also working with the Revue Internationale des Sociétés Secrètes (International Review of Secret Societies) of bishop Ernest Jouin, the famous detractor of freemasonry and whistleblower against alleged conspiracies linked to secret powers, he was also a member of the Movement for the Defense of national traditions (or Entente nationale), regrouping several royalists of the Action Française or independents.

Fearing the ruin of the Christian West to a "New World Order" (whose strings were pulled by Jews and Freemasons), Copin-Albancelli up until his death denounced various Judeo-Masonic conspiracies which, according to him, infiltrated the political world. In his belief that various secret organizations were trying to establish a "globalist power", Copin-Albancelli exploited a myth found in the same period in the Protocol of the Elders of Zion. The scheme was widely used to try to prove the type of conspiracy of which Copin-Albancelli became the tireless exposer.
