To Eliminate the Opiate, Vol. 1, written by Rabbi Marvin S. Antelman and first published in 1973, is an in-depth study that presents a conspiratorial view of efforts to subvert, undermine, and destroy traditional Judaism and its adherents. The book argues that a long-term, organized campaign, originating in the 18th century, has aimed to destroy religious faith and traditional government structures. The book is characterized as a "conspiratorial history" that details the efforts of secret societies to disrupt traditional religious, social, and political structures.
