Anti-Turkish Black Propaganda Intended for
Other Muslims
Efforts to
show Toynbee's The Blue Book as a realistic source continued for a long
time. Bryce claimed that the people presented as sources in this book were
unaware of each other, and tried to prove that independent sources provided
reliable information. However, the researches of American historian Justin
McCarthy showed that the so-called missionaries compared notes before they sent
them to Wellington House, or to put it more accurately, they made them up
together. In other words, The Blue Book was nothing other than a script
prepared by special agents.
Another
anti-Turkish book published by Wellington House told the lie that Turks had
massacred 2 million Armenians. However, during that time, the total number of
the Armenian population living in the Ottoman Empire was only around 1 million.277
Anti-Turkish
propaganda spread not only in Britain and the US, but in other countries as
well. The propaganda intended for Indian Muslims was particularly noteworthy.
Up to that point, Indian Muslims regarded Turkey as a friend and a leader
country. However, the British deep state viewed this sympathy as a serious
threat to its interests. It knew that in case of a war with the Turks, these
people would without a doubt choose to side with the Turks. Also, Indian
Muslims would never accept British pressure on the Turks and the British deep
state would lose its influence in this important region. This was a grave risk
that the British deep state could not take, especially in India, which had been
a long-time colony. Therefore, Indian Muslims and Arabs needed to be convinced
that Turks were 'bad Muslims'. The subsequent propaganda efforts were designed
accordingly.
Tonybee
summarized the British deep state's view of the Islamic world saying that South
Islam (from Morocco to Arabia), or the Ashari school, was no longer a threat as
one could just buy a sheikh and control them all. But he considered North Islam
(the Turkish region from Istanbul to Bukhara), or the Maturidi school, a threat
because they were at peace with science and therefore, a revolutionary like
Atatürk might come up any time, for which reason, he said, precautions should
be taken in advance.278
Clearly,
Atatürk completely dashed the sinister plans of the British deep state for
Turkey.
After the
end of WWI, all the evidence exposing the facts about the Wellington House
propaganda efforts was destroyed. This is very suspicious, especially
considering that Britain keeps a very systematic archive on history, which is
commonly used for research purposes. However, the Wellington House publications
had to be destroyed in a mysterious fashion. Nevertheless, Wellington House had
sent certain documents to various ministries and institutions during the war
for propaganda purposes. Currently, the only information about the Wellington
House activities consists of these very limited documents. However, even this
limited information reveals that around forty books were published, which included
false claims that Turks exterminated Jews, Slavs, Albanians, Arabs and
particularly Armenians.279
After the
war, Arnold Toynbee travelled to Turkey as a journalist, studied the region and
witnessed Turkey's losses due to war. What he saw made him change his mind
completely and he
admitted that The Blue Book was a
book of deception written for propaganda purposes. This time, he wrote books with favorable views
of Turkish people. However, The Blue Book that is full of lies is still
popular today.
In 2005, the
Turkish government, with support from the main opposition party, demanded that
Great Britain apologize to Turkey for The Blue Book. The Turkish
government emphasized the following points in making this request:
* this book
included baseless allegations and was used for black propaganda during WWI,
* it was
produced by the Bryce commission,
* many
people including Toynbee himself later admitted that it was deliberately
produced as an anti-Turkish propaganda.
Interestingly,
the British government did apologize for its black propaganda against Germany,
but never extended the same courtesy to the Turkish government. The apology to
Germany amounted to an admission that Wellington House had been a propaganda
institute, but such an apology wasn't made to the Turkish government, which
should have been the first one to receive it.280 Despite all the efforts, this apology never
came and The Blue Book kept its popularity amongst certain circles.
As
previously explained, the Armenian issue was an extensive plot of the British
deep state prepared as leverage against the Turks. It is important to remember
that the plans of the British deep state to divide the Ottomans haven't fully
succeeded yet, and the Turkish lands are still being targeted with similar
policies. For this reason, the British deep state, in its bid to weaken, divide
and control Turkey, will never retract its respective scenarios nor will it end
its respective black propaganda. The best way to thwart such plans will be
reinforcing and strengthening our bonds of brotherhood and friendship with the
Armenians.
Many brave
people who witnessed the events that took place during this era of intense
black propaganda fearlessly spoke the truth. For instance, a French officer who
was present in the region during the incidents involving Armenians, gave the
following account:
They
fooled us with stories of gangs. In truth, there had never been an Armenian
genocide… Turks, in self-defense position, had to take some precautions… For a
warring nation, the noblest cause is the effort to save the country and that
cause required Turks to take action. We were fooled. Turks are good people.
Talks of genocide are just myths invented to lure us and to provoke us against
the Ottomans.281
Another
French author, Claude Farrére, criticized the French press that quickly passed
judgments under the influence of the British deep state and sent the following
message to Turkish youngsters:
Turks
don't fear bullets… But I'm calling on to the Turkish youth. They should know
that they are not fighting the enemy only on the battlefield. Sometimes there
is a far more important war than that is fought by the armies. It is the
political war. The enemies of Turks are trying to deceive, trying to fool the
European public... Open your eyes and beware of this propaganda.282
It is a
pleasant surprise that there were sensitive foreigners that told the truth for
what it was when there were people even in the Ottoman Empire that chose to
back anti-Turkish British deep state propaganda. This shows that the criticism
here is not directed at the mentioned countries or their peoples, but only the
mafia-like deep states present in those countries. Nations are innocent,
guiltless and have always and will always be our friends. The criticism of the
British deep state is only intended to unmask the said plots, to show the
irrationality of what was done and to urge those people and institutions to do
the right thing.
