One of the most notorious tactics of the British deep state is egging on
two sides, making them fight and then mediating a peace agreement between
them. Similarly, the Treaty of Karlowitz of 1699, with the Ottoman's first ma-
jor territorial losses in the West, was signed under pressure from British Am-
th
bassador William Paget, 6 Baron Paget. The Treaty of Passarowitz, signed
after the Ottoman-Venetian and Austro-Turkish Wars of 1715-1718 and
which also saw Ottoman territory losses, was also signed with British am-
bassadors as the mediators. All of these treaties were actually the result of
British deep state policies. This shouldn't be surprising - it has always been
the British deep state that secretly set the stage for the conflicts and provoked
the wars. The real winner after these treaties has always been the British deep
state. The Ottoman Empire, on the other hand, came one step closer to de-
struction every time it was forced to sign a treaty at the instigation of the
British deep state.
Austen Henry Layard
Henry Layard, who succeeded Henry Elliot as the British Ambassador to
the Ottoman Empire, was another spy that worked disguised as an ambas-
sador. Having been appointed as a Privy Council member by the Gladstone
government, Layard is considered the person that ensured British control
over Cyprus via the Cyprus Convention of 1878. Even though he seemed to
be pro-Turkish, his main policy was making Russians and Ottomans fight and
weaken each other, thus playing into the hands of the British deep state. Ab-
dul Hamid II granting certain facilities to the British deep state, which would
make it easier for Britain to gain control of Cyprus, made Layard's job much
easier.
Layard informed Robert Gascoyne-Cecil, the then British Secretary of
State for Foreign Affairs that, according to Islamic tradition, for an adminis-
trator to be removed from the position of Caliph and dethroned, he had to
be mentally ill. A scheme based on this information brought about the de-
thronement of Sultan Murad V, to be succeeded by Abdul Hamid II, who had
to give into the pressure of the British deep state. This was a grim example
of how the British deep state could change even the Ottoman Sultans using
its spies.
