Exclusive Thread.

1. FabIndia, and its CIA connection.

Recently You have seen this tweet by FabIndia, but later they have deleted it.
Now let me show some shocking connections of FabIndia with the CIA.

2. FabIndia was founded by John L. Bissell in 1960.

He came to India in 1958 with two years of Ford foundation grants.

Shockingly he was an adviser of GOI

3. His father's name was William Truesdale Bissell and his uncle's name was Richard M. Bissell Jr.

His uncle Richard was a CIA officer.

4. His uncle has also worked for the Ford Foundation before and after joining the CIA.

Now you should not surprise why John Bissell came to India with Ford foundation grants!

5. When John Bissell started to work in India, in the same period his Uncle was CIA's Deputy Director for Plans.

This Department had controlled over half the budget of the CIA and this was responsible for covert operations.

6. Another most interesting thing. Bimla Nanda, Wife of john Bissel had served as a social secretary of USA ambassadors to India in the same period.

7. This is also interesting that the USA ambassador to India is following FabIndia on Twitter.

8. I will write more Indian connections and activities of FabIndia in my next thread.

Now you should understand how big and invisible the international ecosystem is!

9. Update for my LeLi friends!
