Bogus unsecured loan used by Sood to evade taxes towards bogus entities by issuing cheques in liu of cash. 3/
The story doesn't here. Here it goes the another story of people who played out with emotions of needy, who encashed the crisis, spent a penny on them, camouflaged by heavy PR, form a 'Messiah' image & kept filling their own wallets.

Appreciate agencies who unearthed this scam of the pandemic, where donors & fundraisers take a lesson for a lifetime.
FACT CHECK:
@IndianExpress published an article citing a 'fact check' for the fact which was never said!
Entire left cabal jumped on the news, in a very coordinated manner, misleading everyone.
Let's check it one by one.
1/
To start with, it was clear to everyone that said $21mn funds for India were CANCELLED by DOGE. i.e. it was funnelled but halted before it could released or received by anyone.
So, the headline "did not go to" itself is blatantly wrong by all means.
2/
This one line doesn't stop here but carries a hidden agenda and fake narrative crafting that "it was a big misunderstanding that USAID funds India to influence elections". Vicious!
3/
It looks like there is a big tussle going on between Fantasy Gaming and Opinion Trading (OT). There are links to the involvement of USAID, Ford Foundation etc in influencing policy makers against the OT.
Unmissable Thread🧵

This is a relatively new subject at large so understand the basics first.
Fantasy Gaming 🏏 : apps like Dream11, My11Circle etc. which let users create virtual teams (like IPL). If chosen players do well, you win real money!
2/
Opinion Trading 📊: This is something new & rising platform like Probo. Here, users predict outcomes of real-world events like elections, matches, stock etc. Right prediction = earn money. Its like a stock market for opinions.

The newly formed @DOGE cancelled $21M funding for NGO CEPPS for a program 'voter turnout in India'.

IMPORTANT THREAD🧵

USAID program "Elections and Political Processes", to "Promote legitimate contestation for ideas and political power through democratic political processes that reflect the will of the people".

Implementing Parter - Consortium for Elections and Political Process Strengthening (CEPPS).
In May'24 US State Deptt hosted an event bringing 22 young rappers, singers, DJs etc across the world, including India, aiming to promote "art as activism" in their home countries.

. @MikeBenzCyber , who is on a spree of exposing USAID and State Deptt for their funding flood to establish 'assets', just posted about a program organised by US State Deptt where they invited young artists for a two weeks workshop in May'24.

Deepa Unnikrishnan (Dee MC) was invited from India. The rapper then had a moderate 96K followers on Insta, 66K subs on YT.
I wondered then what made her profile so special to be invited by US St Deptt?
I went through her public profiles and it seems I've an answer.
Its been one year of pran-pratishtha of Ram Mandir and what has been achieved after spending a whopping Rs 1800 crores on a temple instead of 15 hospitals of 200 beds capacity?🤷♂️
Let's take a deep dive.
