Page 213 - Mastermind: The Truth of the British Deep State Revealed

A close examination of the underlying causes of the Crimean War will

reveal the input of the British deep state, like urging the Russians to start the
bombardments, and more specifically how it set the stage for the conflict. Dur-

ing the Ottoman-Russia crisis in the run-up to the war, Alexander Men-
shikov, head of the Russian delegation in Istanbul, clearly stated that Mustafa

Reşid Pasha prevented peace because he was under pressure from the British
Ambassador Lord Stratford de Redcliffe. This scenario sounds strangely fa-

miliar because the British deep state has always been involved in every Russ-
ian-Turkish disagreement that took place throughout history. Therefore, one

shouldn't be surprised to find that British military advisors were in the Ot-
toman army during the Crimean War and during the Russo-Turkish War of

1877-78. In fact, it was these advisors that convinced the Ottoman adminis-
trators and commanders to enter the war. These advisors plunged the coun-

try into war, making commitments which only furthered the interests of the
British deep state.
