For those who say Alexander Downer doesn't do spying.

When he was Australian High Commissioner to the UK.

MI5 complained he was still moonlighting for a Hakluyt, a private intelligence firm while in the role. A serious breach of diplomatic protocol.

Downer doesn't mind breaking the rules. He's always been like that. Leading the charge for Australia to get involved in the Iraq invasion.
smh.com.au/national/downe…

Ever hear about his role in the Iraq Oil for Wheat scandal?

Dodgy Downer has been getting involved in lots of dubious schemes over the years.

Dropping a Trump foreign policy advisor into a an FBI sheetstorm is just another scandal to add to the list.

"Downer Can't Recall"

He lied about being personally briefed by Paul Volcker, the UN lead investigator into the Iraqi sanctions fraud. He said he couldnt recall an actual meeting with him.

So, how is he to be trusted with @GeorgePapa19?

Gurpatwant Singh Pannun is a controversial figure. @TIME gave him a platform because he's a thorn in the side of #India.

I actually think the interview was good. It made the Khalistan movement look like a bunch of crazy folk in the diaspora with little to no support in India.

When confronted on his threat to Air India. He folded.

Transnational repression is a buzzword in international relations, IHL and HRL.

There is no concrete evidence that India was directly involved in plots. But the fact pattern is being fluffed out. Alarm bells ringing as a result.

"I will never incite the people of Punjab who are working with me to go and take violence as the path. Because that is exactly what I'm fighting. We are fighting India’s violence with votes." We all know that's a lie.
"Though the movement has little support in India today—in the latest state election, the only remaining pro-Khalistan party secured less than 3% of the vote—the demand has persisted among the Sikh diaspora." @TIME

"Some experts say that within the Sikh community in India, and to some extent even the Sikh diaspora, there is less of an urgency for a separatist homeland compared to other issues like farmers’ protests, high debt, and drug addiction. Would you agree?"

Pannun answered, "No." Khalistanis don't speak for Sikhs in India. They are on their own warped path.

A US State Department whistleblower exposes how US and UK influence operations maligned #India.

The State Department used the @AtlanticCouncil and other groups to push 'misinformation'.
"biased elements in the US foreign policy establishment waged a campaign against Prime Minister Narendra Modi."

Has anyone researched Daniel O. Graham, a former Deputy Director of the CIA and Director of DIA, and his ties to Khalistan radicals, Chohan and Ganga Singh Dhillon in the 70s-80s in DC?

Spook historians have claimed US support for Sikh radicals were part of KGB active measures. Image

It's not surprising because Bush Snr and Reagan wanted to use religion to fight communism.

They used right-wing Christians in Rome and Latin America. Sikhs to cause unrest in socialist India wouldn't have been a stretch.

Graham was also close to Korean Cold Warriors.

Was it something I said?

I did protest William Gomes demand for Jamaat-e-Islami Bangladesh figures to get a Nobel Peace Prize. But that was decades ago. Jamaat got war crimes tribunals instead.
archive.dhakatribune.com/uncategorized/…

William Gomes better not be receiving a stipend from British taxpayers.

@FCDOGovUK
thetablet.co.uk/blogs/1/1969/w…

Gomes didn't get kicked out of Bangladesh for religious persecution. He left because he was a troublemaker.

He claims to be a hardcore Christian and pro-Jamaat?

Fundamentalist.

BNP tried to blame Hindus for Islamist terrorism in #Bangladesh while in power.

"Lutfozzaman Babar yesterday said the JMB added a new dimension by engaging members of minority community in its suicide squad."

It was bogus.
Lutfozzaman Babar helped to increase Islamist militants targeting #India while he was in control of the Ministry of Home Affairs.

The @FBI and @CIA are well aware of Babar's networks in the United States too.

@HinduACT
Lutfozzaman Babar is in jail in #Bangladesh for ties to terrorism and anti-India activities.

The BNP are trying to lobby the USA to say the Awami League is the problem.
