“War until Final Victory” – Enver Pasha261

Prior to the Caucasian Campaign, Enver Pasha had distinguished himself on several fronts. Around

1911, the Italians had backed Christian rebels in Albania as well as the uprising of the Imam of Sanaa in Yemen. At the same time, Italy invaded Libya. But Enver managed to successfully counter them in Yemen and Tripoli. In the case of Tripoli, Enver volunteered to personally fight on the front, and commanded the whole front from a tent.262 _{The Italian}

advance was thrown back to Tripoli, and the Italians agreed with Enver to avoid any further advances. Enver had to conclude peace with them only because of the outbreak of the Balkan wars. But Enver made the decision of allowing Ottoman troops to remain in Libya.263 _{Later, these}

troops along with the Sanussi tribals would wage a successful rebellion against the Italians in May 1915 (World War I). During the Balkan Wars, the Serbs, Greeks and Bulgarians made sweeping advances, shoving the Turks off the European mainland. When Enver returned from Tripoli, a new government had taken office, and the CUP cabinet had been forced to resign amidst allegations of official interference in elections.264 _The

new government was pursuing peace negotiations with the Balkan powers. Enver gathered the disaffected young officers who were against surrender and staged a coup. He broke into the Cabinet meeting where the peace terms were being discussed and shot dead the Minister of War, Nazim Pasha.265 _{When the various Balkan states began fighting over}

their shares, Enver made a swift advance and recaptured Adrianople in 1913. The Bulgarians had abandoned the city and the city was thus captured without battle.266 _{Following his success at Adrianople, he}

married the Sultan’s daughter, Princess Naciye. He made public his plans to bring all Muslims together under a revived Ottoman Empire.267 _Enver

also made a concerted attempt to crush the rebellion of Al-Saud and his Wahhabi followers, but had to abandon this quest due to the outbreak of World War I.268 _{Later, Al-Saud would consolidate the oil rich Arabian}

Peninsula for Western interests.

Although World War I was primarily meant to create the conditions of revolution in Russia, the Powers that Be had decided that the Central Powers were not expected to make gains at the expense of an instable Russia. Instead, they were to divert their energies elsewhere, fighting all of the other Allies except Russia. The losses Russia inevitably made

were to be recuperated through “permanent revolution,” along with huge additional gains to be made in World War II.

Although it was obvious that Enver Pasha could not see through this diabolical plot, he intelligently discerned that the greater enemy was towards the East. In the last months of 1914, Enver Pasha set off for the Caucasus, with a huge army numbering 100-200,000.269 _{This campaign}

presented the biggest threat to Illuminati aspirations in both the World Wars. Unlike other Ottoman commanders who would coordinate offensives from long distance, Enver personally led this campaign. The Powers that Be and their operatives among both Ottoman and German commanders tried their best to dissuade Enver Pasha. When the campaign commenced, literally all powers in the region ganged up to oppose him. The Russian Tsar left his turbulent capital for the Caucasian front, to inspire morale. The Armenians engaged in active sabotage of the Ottoman supply lines. Even the British would try to intervene. One can only imagine the extent of conspiracy to thwart Enver’s campaign. The British were engaging the Ottomans on other fronts. And Enver’s campaign against the Russians has been seen by some as diversionary. But Enver’s Caucasian campaign had potential to seriously disturb British India. The Afghan people and the Pathans of the North-West Frontier Province on the Eastern border of British India, were likely to become hostile to the Raj at the first appearance of Enver’s army. Likewise, the British immediately mobilized forces to prevent Enver from advancing into Persia.

Enver planned for his army to fight along different routes, with all units converging upon Sarakamis together for a unified ambush. The plan initially worked and the speed of Turkish advance made the Russians initially retreat. But the Ottoman army was defeated, and retreated with heavy losses.

Apart from the abrasive effect of winter, it is not clear what exactly lead to Enver Pasha’s abandonment of the campaign. Everything, from the strength of the Ottoman and Russian armies to the number of casualties on both sides, and the acquisitions made, is disputed. In addition, official Kemalist history has gone to great lengths to discredit Enver.

269 _{Facts and figures related to this campaign are subject to controversy. We do know}

But what is clearly discernable is Enver’s outrage at German commanders. Enver had rightly begun to see the alliance with Germans as ‘incompatible,’ though of course he couldn’t obviously notice the conspiracy and sabotage that was taking place. He had begun to have second thoughts about the alliance with Germany itself. He would later create his own German-free ‘Army of Islam’ in the Caucasus (after the treaty of Brest-Litovsk was concluded by the Germans). To quote Enver, "Why should we feel any obligation to the Germans?" Enver would say [to Ambassador Morgenthau]. "What have they done for us which compares with what we have done for them? They have lent us some money and sent us a few officers, it is true, but see what we have done! We have defeated the British fleet---something which neither the Germans nor any other nation could do. We have stationed armies on the Caucasian front, and so have kept busy large bodies of Russian troops that would have been used on the western front. Similarly we have compelled England to keep large armies in Egypt, in Mesopotamia, and in that way we have weakened the Allied armies in France. No, the Germans could never have achieved their military successes without us; the shoe of obligation is entirely on their foot."270

By then, the Ottomans had already captured Trebizond, Erzurum, Kars, Van and Batumi. And they had defeated Armenian rebels. In order to prevent Enver Pasha from taking Georgia, the Powers that Be had the German “allies” of the Ottomans intervene. A German military force secured Georgia to prevent Ottoman expansion. Strangely, the German high command was worried about Ottoman influence in a far distant land, among all other immediate threats it faced. Despite that Enver had lent some of his best fighters to the Germans, who saw action in the trenches of Ukraine and Poland.271 _{The commander of this German force}

was none other than General Kress von Kressenstein, who had played in important role in Ottoman defeats throughout World War I. This sudden interest in securing Georgia from the Ottomans may be related to the presence of Rothschild oil interests in the region.

The Army of Islam, under Enver’s command, avoided Georgia and instead marched through Azerbaijan, reaching Baku in August 1918. The Azerbaijanis, the Kashkais, the Lurs, the Turkomans and the Kurds of Northern Persia welcomed Enver’s army.272 _{By then, Enver had also}

begun fomenting unrest in British occupied Persia through Salat-ed-

270 _{Stefanovics, Enver Pasha} 271 _{Stefanovics, Enver Pasha} 272 _{Stefanovics, Enver Pasha}

daulah, leader of the Kashkais. This was done with the aid of Enver’s special German agent, Wasmuss.273 _{The Bolshevik revolution had}

disintegrated Russian forces in these areas. But the British came to the rescue of Bolshevik interests, dispatching Colonel Lionel Dunsterville from Persia. He was at the head of a small but well-armed Allied force, complete with armored cars. He was forced to retreat. But the war had ended by then, and Ottomans would lose Baku and many Caucasian territories after the armistice. The Army of Islam collapsed, along with the fall of Enver after Ottoman defeat in World War I. Enver had originally planned to rally all that was left of the Ottoman army and fight a guerilla war against the occupying Allies.274 _{But he was forced by the}

conspirators in the CUP to sign a truce with the Allies. Once the Allies signed the truce, they refused to further negotiate with Enver, paving way for the rise of Mustafa Kemal.

Enver Pasha had also begun to uncover the hidden agenda of the Kemalists, who were preparing for a takeover of Turkey. In 1920, Enver tried to overthrow Mustafa Kemal but failed. When the Allied forces put Turkey under occupation, they further demanded the extradition of those whom they saw as responsible for the war. This was done to further eliminate all possible rivals of the Kemalists. As a result, Enver had to flee to Germany. Upon instigation of Germany, Enver was deceived into considering friendly terms with the Bolsheviks.275 _{The Powers That Be}

were estranged with Lenin, and therefore decided to use Enver as a neutral go-between to secure a German truce with the Soviet Union. They still saw Enver as a potentially useful pawn for the creation of reactionary ideologies opposed to the Soviet Union, such as Pan- Islamism and Pan-Turanism. In Germany, he would meet Orientalists propounding pan-Islamist and pan-Turanian theories.276 _{On behalf of the}

German Chief of Staff (of the South Eastern front) Von Seeckt, Enver proposed a military-economic alliance between Germany and the Soviet Union.277 _{This was finalized as the Treaty of Rapallo in 1922.}278 _The

Internationalist operative Christian Rakovsky would later reveal his Stalinist interrogators that this treaty was the sole doing of the Illuminati. The treaty in question allowed the Soviet Union to rebuild and refurbish

itself for World War II using German resources! It also allowed the existence of secret German military installations on Soviet soil, for the purpose of offering training for the Soviets.279 _{These would be used to}

coordinate Soviet rebuilding as well as for spying on the Lenin regime, which had run afoul of the Powers That Be.

On 16th _{August 1920, Enver finally arrived in Russia. He had evidently}

mistaken Bolshevik propaganda as a sincere desire to fight British colonialism. Bolshevik leader Karl Radek had convinced him towards the same end.280 _{Once in Russia, he was kept as a virtual prisoner, to be}

used as a pawn when circumstances favored the Soviets. In April 1921, he was dispatched to Batumi. With the Greek offensive almost succeeding in dislodging the Kemalists and the popularity of Kemal waning, it was expected that Enver would enter Anatolia, leading a Soviet backed revolutionary force. Unbeknown to Enver, these supposed liberators would later transfer Anatolia to Soviet hegemony and would also uproot Islam from Anatolia. However, this exercise was cancelled after the Powers that Be secured Anatolia under Mustafa Kemal. Enver was more pan-Islamist than Bolshevik. Enver expected the Bolsheviks to be sympathetic to his idea of an “Army of Islam” in Central Asia, which would coordinate the liberation of the Indian subcontinent from British rule. It is obvious that Ottoman loyalists like Enver were seething with revenge at the activities of the British against the Ottoman Empire in World War I. Djemal Pasha joined Enver for this purpose and contributed by modernizing the Afghan army. He and Enver had sent Ottoman officers in advance, to train this future army in Afghanistan, with the aim of establishing in Islamic state in the Punjab.281 _Djemal

sought to use the Turks of the “Basmachi” movement against British India. And for this purpose, he spent nearly one year traveling between Russia and Germany, trying to obtain weapons for the Afghans.282 _But

an Armenian assassinated Djemal in Tblisi on July 21st _{1922. The ARF’s}

(Armenian Revolutionary Federation) account hints at likely collaboration between the Bolsheviks and the ARF.283 _{According to}

283 _{According to the ARF version, the assassination was carried out at the Cheka}

another account by an Azerbaijani Professor named Musa Kasimov (as narrated by Atli Altay),

[…] the assassin was Sergo Lobadze, who was working for the secret police in Georgia. Lobadze himself was murdered seven months after the incident and the motivation behind Moscow’s decision to eliminate Cemal Paşa was to prevent him from entering Turkey again, because, after spending time in Moscow, Central Asia and Caucasus, he was in possession of vital information and documents that could turn the public opinion in Turkey against the Soviet Union.”284

Talat Pasha, who had also fled Turkey, sought to join Enver and Djemal. But an Armenian assassinated him in Berlin on March 1921. Unlike the later assassinations of Enver and Djemal, only Talat’s assassination was confirmed to have been conducted by a genuine Armenian (Soghomon Tehlirian of the ARF).

When Enver Pasha began to recognize the Bolsheviks as the real enemy, he turned against them. Before he could gather a following, it was decided to pre-empt him. The Bolsheviks of the Tashkent Soviet consisting of Russian soldiers and non-Muslim Slav railway workers launched an attack on Kokand (near Dushanbe) killing 14,000. Enver headed a platoon-sized force, sword in hand, and was killed while assaulting a machine-gun position on 4th August 1922. He died at the age of 42.

Even with the defeat and dismemberment of

Ottoman Turkey, the triumvirate of the three Pashas, Enver, Talat and Djemal, emerged as a new threat to the Powers that Be. These three Pashas had effectively ruled Ottoman Turkey since 1913, as the most powerful people in the Committee of Union and Progress (CUP). When Turkey was placed under Allied occupation, they were forced to flee. But as we discuss later, some CUP members such as Mustafa Kemal stayed behind in Turkey, and would not be harassed by the British, since

they were meant to play an important role in the planned dissolution of the Caliphate.

Even in exile, Enver and Djemal were still seen as a grave threat to Kemalism, as well as Illuminati plans for the Indian subcontinent and Central Asia. Armenians insist that their assassinations were part of a conspiracy (Operation Nemesis) carried out by the Armenian Revolutionary Federation (Dashnak), seeking revenge for the Armenian Genocide285_{. However, it is more likely that this organization had been}

compromised, and was being used by the Powers that Be to eliminate all the CUP leaders who posed a threat to Kemalist Turkey. The British who had occupied Turkey would not arrest Kemalist operatives. Remaining CUP members were forced to flee and live as fugitives, and some were eliminated. For example, many prominent non-Kemalists, such as those that formed the Ittehad Committee in Berlin became targets of the Armenian Dashnak. Enver, who was considering marching into Turkey already had 29 branches of his organization working in Istanbul, and in each division of Anatolia.286 _{He thus constituted the most serious threat}

to Kemal. Actual blame for the Armenian Genocide was in this stage, little more than finger-pointing (and still is). Not surprisingly, the Dashnak never targetted Mustafa Kemal or his supporters.

Gallipoli

Gallipoli was meant to be a focal point of World War I. However, the outcome was totally different from what had been planned. The idea was to snatch the straits of Gallipoli, and later Constantinople, from the Ottomans and secure the most important supply route for the newly created Soviet Union. At the same time, the fall of Constantinople, the seat of the Ottomans, would deal a devastating blow to the Caliphate. And perhaps even result in dissolution of the Caliphate.

There were indications that while British Empire was willing to carry out the sacrifices required for the conquest of Gallipoli, they were to be ultimately awarded to Russia. On December 2nd _{1917, the Prime Minister}

of Russia, M. Trepoff, made the following statement in the Duma:

An agreement which we concluded in 1915 with Great Britain and France, and to which Italy has adhered, established in the most definite fashion the right of Russia to the Straits and Constantinople.... I repeat that absolute agreement on this point is firmly established among the Allies.287

This secret pact was known as the Constantinople Agreement of March 18th _{1915. It was later exposed and is discussed in detail in the next}

section. As per the secret pact, Russia would control Istanbul, the Western parts of the Bosphorus, the Marmara Sea and the Dardenelles, part of Thrace, the northwestern area of Asia Minor, the islands of Imbros and Bozcaada, and the four islands in the Marmara.288 _{As per the}

treaty, Arabia was to be given independence, ensuring that Ottomans no longer controlled important centers of Islam and that oil resources were consolidated by American corporations. Lenin later exposed the treaty when he fell out with the Illuminati. The treaty would also allow the Soviets reciprocally, to advance into the Mediterranean, North Africa, the Middle East and South West Europe under the guise of fighting Fascism. The importance of Gallipoli to Russia is best illustrated by the following quote:

General Nikolai Golovin wrote in his book "The Russian Army in the World War" that when the Ottoman Empire declared war on Russia and closed the Straits to Russian shipping in October 1914, suddenly
