people of the Prince Islands and fishermen were waging guerilla warfare on

the British. This entire defense effort forced the British fleet to retreat. When
their final attempt of a threat failed, the British navy withdrew completely.

Artillery defense at Dardanelles did not let the British fleet pass through.

Henry Elliot

Another notorious spy who worked for the British deep state was Sir

Henry Elliot, the British ambassador to the Ottoman Empire. He was a close
friend of Grand Vizier Midhat Pasha, who helped dethrone Sultan Abdülaz-

iz Khan, and caused Egypt to come under British rule by issuing the edict that
allowed Egypt to borrow money from foreign creditors. Elliot was one of the

architects of the coup of 1876 and the Russo-Turkish War (1877-78).

When Midhat Pasha became Grand Vizier after the coup, he held the
'Constantinople Conference" (aka the Shipyard Conference) in Istanbul with

the participation of the British. In this conference, which was meant to pre-
vent war, the Ottomans were pressured to give independence to Serbia and

Montenegro, as well as autonomy to Bosnia Herzegovina. Britain knew per-
fectly well that the Ottomans would never accept such condi-

tions and that they would declare war instead. Indeed,
when the agreement requirements were disclosed,

it was again Britain that urged Midhat Pasha to
resist, promising that in case of war, he could

trust Britain. Finally, what Elliot (in other
words, the British deep state) wanted came

true, and the Ottoman Empire and Russia
declared war against each other. This war

caused the Ottoman Empire one of its great-
est territorial losses. Once again, those fa-

miliar tactics were in play and the 'peace'
agreement was signed with the mediation of

the British.
