Former VP Ansari & Actor Swara Bhaskar participating in an event by IAMC to ‘save pluralism’ on #RepublicDay

They may not know:

IAMC paid money to get India black-list by the US is linked with Jamaat-e-Islami (JeI) &

Linked with the fraud in name of Covid crisis

A thread:
IAMC founder Shaik Ubaid collected fund in the name of Rohingyas and paid to Lobby firm FGR for getting India blacklisted by USCIRF!

FGR head Terry Allen was a long time associate of Nadine Maenza, USCIRF Chair, who is also ‘saving pluralism’ in India.

(2/n)
IAMC claims to represent Indian Muslims in US. It says it’s fighting against the ‘current fascist govt’ – OK.

Why was it lobbying against India in 2013?

(3/n)
IAMC key player Shaik Ubaid and his buddy Abdul Malik Mujahid headed Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA)- the US front for Jamaat-e-Islami, Pakistan. ICNA has known links with Pak based terror groups including LeT.

(4/n)
IAMC is headed by Rasheed Ahmed, who was Executive Director (2008-17) of another shady front - Islamic Medical Association of North America (IMANA). At the peak of covid crisis in India, IMANA collected funds in the name of helping India and robbed all money.

(5/n)
Director of Operations in IMANA is Zahid Mahmood, who is an ex-Pak Navy official.

Coincidentally, IMANA is also linked with Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), an Muslim Brotherhood front in the US.

(6/n)
And to get a sense of their ideology: IAMC members like Kaleem Kawaja have been a vocal supporter of Taliban!

(7/n)
And there is fake news:

UAPA was imposed on IAMC last year for spreading fake news to incite communal violence & reinforces the narrative of minority plight in India- from fabricated stories on CAA to Tripura violence.

(8/n)
Our concern:

IAMC has not been exposed once or twice but multiple times by multiple organizations. Yet it seems not all people are aware of their truth (are they?)

Please spread this thread enough that it reaches everyone – commoner and celebrities alike!

UAPA on IAMC

Tripura Police has put UAPA on 102 entities regarding recent violence, including on Indian American Muslim Council (IAMC)

IAMC was quick to play victim.

What IAMC didn't tell is its relations with Pan-Islamist networks- Jamaat, & terror-linked groups.

A thread
IAMC is a US-based Jamaat affiliated group which is hub for all anti-India activities - from lobbying against India to committing COVID-19 donation fraud to spreading fake news.

(2/n)
IAMC was founded in 2002 by Dr. Shaik Ubaid (SU), former General Secretary of ICNA- the American arm of Jamaat-e-Islami (JeI). Though SU conveniently denied his association with ICNA & later IAMC he continued to work with them to target India via Burma Task Force (BTF).

Rarely a state machinery is directly involved in disinformation campaign

Chinese govt. & state media pushed fake stories on #Covid origin with help of Russian Disinfo eco-system to push #FortDetrick narrative.

A thread

If you can’t convince them, confuse them, said Sun Tzu in his book ‘Art of Info-War’.

Well, at least that’s what Chinese MoFA officials are trying to do with the question of the origin of the SARS-CoV-2 virus for the last 2 years.

(2/n)
At first China (and the pliant scientists in the US with vested interests with Wuhan lab) declared that the virus has a natural origin, even before its genome was fully decoded. Any questions about lab leak or otherwise were termed racist or Conspi-racist.

A social media trend #BoycottIndianProducts was pushed by #MuslimBrotherhood, a radical Islamist front using multiple fake news. It was supported by Qatar-Turkey-Pak nexus.

Objective was to hit India’s image. But the bigger target was Saudi.

A thread:

thedisinfolab.org/muslim-brother…
A trend #مقاطعة_المنتجات_الهندية started on Sept 23 protesting tragic event in Assam. It was also widely portrayed by many Arab media, claiming anger in Arab world about atrocities on Muslims in India.

(2/n)
However what Arab media did not tell:

The trend was artificially pushed by MB influencers form Cairo, Doha, and Istanbul.

That the ‘news media’ were also affiliated with MB
And that the main target was Saudi Arabia.

Twitter is the 'porn hub' of social media.

Shockingly, despite Indian laws & Twitter’s own policies, even child p0rn & r@pe videos are freely available.

Worse, Twitter’s lax policy has allowed a massive psy-war targeting communal harmony.

a thread:

thedisinfolab.org/twitter-hub/
Twitter, US based for-profit company, seems obliged to follow only US’ laws, while showing complete dis-regard to India’s IT Rules, which prohibits adult content on social media. Twitter doesn't even make any attempt to implement the laws, doable with basic location filter.
2/n
Contrast it with other social media platforms which do far better content management, & continue to strive to keep social media space clean.

Shockingly, Twitter seems blind to even most obscene contents including child p*rn despite a ‘child sexual exploitation policy’ (sic)

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!

The Kashmir Narrative is controlled by a set of US/UK- based ‘Kashmiris’ who make a living off Kashmir conflict. Since about 2015-16, the ‘family business’ is being passed to the next gen with the help of Pak establishment, & vested interests.

A Thread:

thedisinfolab.org/kashmir-inc-a-…
The story is divided into 5 parts: i) Next Gen ‘activists’; ii) the family business; iii) the US angle – mysterious tourists, CIA operatives & Politicians; iv) the fake narrative; and v) the Turkish angle. The recent changes start in 2016.
(2/n)
3 developments take place by 2015/16:

Tightening of FCRA in India: foreign funding fell by INR 11,274 Cr.

Pak Senate Report: envisages lobbying to change Kashmir narrative against India;

NGOs with ‘White Experts’/‘activists’ pop up in US, critical of India’s ‘failings’. 3/n
