It was expected:

Our recent report has hurt some nerves: powerful US lobby groups / Politicians/ possibly Agencies. The US based company (Twitter. Inc) may not be immune to the US system.

Our verified badge is taken away with a slimy excuse.
We got this mail from Twitter AFTER 2 months & 11 days of verification, just after the report - “Kashmir Inc: a Conflict Industry” - that our “verification request was incorrectly processed”.

Oh bdw,

There is an ancient folklore in India: the grasshopper turns upside down and thinks it is holding the sky!
If ‘the powers that be’ are upset, this may be the first step to suspend the account. A planned mass reporting is underway, including by Pak govt-related handles, Pak based ‘journalist’s and bots – by those exposed or fear expose.
This is not the only attack we facing: the nexus is also trying to take down our website. we have got about 40k attacks on our website in last 24 hrs. And the types of attack tells you the people behind.
This all is a coordinated effort to take down our website and twitter account. We have sent a review mail to Twitter support & Grievance Office seeking clarification, failing which we will also take legal recourse against Twitter.
We take this opportunity to thank our supporters for the overwhelming response. We have got more that 302.7K views on our website and 2.8 million impression on Twitter, on this report alone.
Our credibility rests on our research and quality of content, not on Twitter’s mercy. But we seek clarifications. A US company will not dictate whose voice they choose to amplify and whose they wish to mute at will.

We won’t let it go unchallenged.
Twitter’s arbitrariness can’t deter us; we will continue to expose the info-war nexus to keep social media space clean.
(bdw, next report abt 'Twitter', stay tuned ;)

We need your support!

A sudden rise in Terror attacks in #Kashmir by 'new age' terror fronts calling themselves 'resistance'!

Who are they, who is behind them, and above all, who are the new masters of narrative?

#August5 #Article370

A THREAD: Image
The valley is seeing an attempt at revival of terrorism. Suddenly ‘new fronts’ with English names have surfaced - People's Anti-Fascist Front (#PAFF); The Resistance Front (#TRF); United Liberation Front Kashmir (#ULFK); & Kashmir Tigers etc.,

(2/n) Image
However, it is well known that these fronts are mere reincarnations of notorious terror fronts like Hizbul Mujahideen, Lashkar-e-Taiba, Jaish-e-Muhammad, etc., & duly supported by the Pakistani military establishment.

The US Embassy in India has taken a keen interest in ‘fighting disinformation’ and ‘hate speech’, conducting multiple workshops through its consulates and mission. However, the manner and the individuals engaged, raise some questions.

A thread: Image
Starting about 2019, the US Embassy in India and its Consulates – all started workshops on “counter disinformation” across India - Kolkata, Lucknow, Hyderabad, Chennai, and Mumbai.

But what kind of #Disinformation? And who conducted these workshops?

(2/n) Image
A workshop in Lucknow in 2019 was conducted by a ‘disinformation expert’ named Tina Lee. Incidentally, the workshop was against ‘far-right disinformation’ – and Ms. Lee is a self-proclaimed ‘far-left’ activist!

How ‘Western’ powers are using the #Khalistani trope to create conflict in India, and why?

A story in Five Acts

Brief thread.

(1/11) Image
Act I: June 13: UK

Centre for Information Resilience (CIR), a UK Deep-State project publishes a ‘disinformation’ report– ‘exposing’ a handful of anonymous handles– recycling the #Khalistani narrative, seeding tropes of Khalistani ‘activists’ & ‘transnational repression’.

(2/11) Image
Last time, CIRs had ‘exposed’ 33 anonymous X (Twitter) handles – though not a single #fakenews: all the while ignoring large-scale anti-India #disinformation. To know about CIR, BBC, and Deep State, pls read ‘a Puppet Too Valuable’.

EXPOSÉ: Millions of $ funded to impact #IndianElection results!

Just concluded #loksabhaelections24 reported massive interference from China to Israel.

However, the most significant remains obscure – The Western interference: From EU to the US!

A thread: Image
These elections saw the most intrusive foreign reporting – overwhelmingly negative and obviously brazen. Tropes from the ‘Western media’ heavily laced with hyper adjectives and double standards forcing a meta narrative into the bloodstream of internet.

Like they were in a competitive mud-slinging tournament.

(2/n)Image
Some of these media outlets had tacit funding, and some were explicit, while few were funded by organizations with dark backgrounds of publishing slant narratives– e.g.– from stories based on ‘random WhatsApp groups’ to creating heroes out of Pak-sponsored stooges.

Sudden spike in news about ‘bad’ Indian medicine – from US, Gambia, Indonesia, Sri Lanka - and emergence of Indian origin American ‘hero’ #DineshThakur.

Story of biggest assault on #IndianPharma, aided and abetted by Indian media, particularly, The Wire.

A Thread: Image
In Dec 2023 Livemint claimed that the US recalled ‘bad’ Indian meds. It was a headline spin – Indian med was a fraction of US meds. But why the negative spin on Indian pharma? We were interested and did what we do. Dig.

What we found was beyond shocking!

Image
In July'22 news came that several children died in Gambia bcoz of India-made cough syrup. WHO issued warning & news media screamed– Indian med killed Gambian children. The news was first broken by #Retures & #AlJazeera, repeated by Indian media.

But it was pure propaganda.

An #ISIS module was busted by the NIA, headed by Saquib Nachan. Many would not know that Saquib goes back to the 1990s with Human rights ‘activist’ Bhajan Bhinder.

A trans-national - trans-generational strategy of bleeding India by thousand cuts.

A Thread: 🧵 Image
The two ‘activists’ - #ISIS fame Saquib Nachan & #OFMI fame Bhajan started together in 1992, & have been working on a two-pronged Hybrid-Warfare against India – spanning three continents and four decades.

(2/n)
On Dec 10, 2023, NIA busted an #ISIS terror module of Saqib Nachan, and while his involvement in the 2002-03 Mumbai terror blasts is well known, he was also instrumental in a foiled terror attack in July 1992, identical to the deadly 93’ blasts, a year earlier.
