Last week CBI busted an illegal FCRA clearance bribe racket consisting of promoters of Omidyar Network India (ONI), brokers, NGOs, and officers in MHA's FCRA division up to an undersecretary level.
Omidyar is another world's top influencer like Fords & Soros who don't.. 1/
..just play around at funding some missionary or hawala network, but controls the proxy power at the govt level. For a teaser, e-bay founder & billionaire, Pierre Omidyar has been accused of toppling the pro-Russia Ukraine govt through a violent protest in 2014. 2/
Established in 2004, Omidyar Network has started investing in 2011 in the groups that are opposed to the Ukraine govt, including digital media. All it took 4 years to achieve their goal.
Doesn't the modus operandi look similar in the Indian context?
3/
As I observed, many ppl assume that it is just a few leftist media portals like News Laundry, Scroll and The Ken that are funded by Omidyar. No.
As I said Omidyar is a next-level investor, they don't fund a few direct beneficiaries but a sustainable ecosystem.
4/
Omidyar has invested in 100+ Indian companies, mostly digital start-ups in education, emerging tech, financial, and property inclusivity up to Rs +3K Cr. What does it mean? Isn't it directly or indirectly access to private data of every aspect of the lives of millions? 5/
Check out these cos. Let's settle it will be an exaggeration to say that they are directly working on the payroll of Omdiyar but at the same time, it will be too 'ostrich approach' to ignore that they don't have to do a bit to oblige their patron. 6/
Now how would one control policy-making? 'Investing' in lawmakers is an obsoleted idea. Like Ford, OSF (Soros), Omidyar also invested in a crucial think tank of policy influencers. A glimpse of a Mint article in 2013 when Omidyar offered millions to CPR. 2014 was Gen election. 7/
The board members of CPR, share other top NGOs like CHRI (that is suspended last month), and CHRI executives have titles in IPF (Indian Police Foundation). All-in-all its just a tip and these clan-of-connections is a complex maze (bhool-bhullaiya).

Before we close know that IITan & former MoS Finance & Civil Avi Jayant Sinha (s/o Yashwant Sinha) has been director of ONI from 2010-13. In fact, he played a pivotal role in estb a network in India. Because of his past connections, his name also popped up in Paradise papers. 9/
It's very unfortunate that on one side MHA is at the cleaning job of these foreign funds networks and on another side few corrupt officials are putting the nation on sale by providing them safe passage without analyzing the long-term consequences.
10/
The mainstream media is almost on the payroll for this or that and won't show the full picture of these networks. Support the efforts of 'The Hawk Eye' to bring many such open source informative write-ups.
They made Aurangzeb a 'secular ruler'.
They glorified Khilafat as 'unity'.
But they cleverly erased C. Sankaran Nair - the man who exposed the Truth of Moplah, the burning facts!
#KesariChapter2 #SankaranNair
1/6
A staunch nationalist lawyer, Nair never minced words. He said Congress’ Khilafat obsession led to the mass murder of Hindus in #MoplahMassacre. He documented the violence, the forced conversions.. and the r@pes.
And for that- he was CANCELLED by the Congress 'ecosystem'.
2/
While Congress tiptoed, Nair roared, “This wasn’t a peasant uprising - it was a bloodbath of Hindus!”.
He exposed how Khilafat turned into a cover for communal cleansing.
But speaking up for Hindus = unforgivable sin for Congress. So, they buried him.
3/
Propaganda US journalist Raphael Satter OCI is cancelled for several violations.
Habitual offender Hanna Petersen writes Satter denied he ever conducted journalistic activity in India. Which is outright lie.
Wait, there is more to it, much deeper.
1/
First of all, Satter lied in the court that he is not doing any journalism in India & have visited only for family purposes. Here are two such examples- note that Satter was among first one who broke Pegasus fake story which was never proven till date.
2/
Second, such story was against Indian startup Appin Association where he is still facing defamation suits. In this story, he violated all journalistic standards by publishing someone else picture (knowingly) instead of targeted one because he wasn't able to get right picture.
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!
