Australian socialist ๐๐๐ฅ๐ฏ๐๐ญ๐จ๐ซ๐ ๐๐๐๐จ๐ง๐๐ฌ (#Baba) is new bรชte noir of the self-loathing pseudo intellectuals after he shredded their bibles of India-hate!
What followed was standard play book...
๐ ๐๐ก๐ซ๐๐๐:
โIndiaโs intellectual class is anti-Indiaโ- remark by @sbabones at an event has become the most talked about topic in India, sparking debate. Sensing this as an opportunity, some media houses & individuals incensed by the remark started targeting him.
(2/n)
The remark in question was swiftly picked up by some known media outlets, who encashed on this opportunity. #ThePrint was the first to use it as a ๐๐ฅ๐ข๐๐ค๐๐๐ข๐ญ story, setting a premise for coverage by other media outlets.
(3/n)
Triggered portals like ๐๐๐ฐ๐ฌ ๐๐๐ฎ๐ง๐๐ซ๐ฒ were then quick to follow suit & channeled their dissatisfaction, labeling him a right-wing foreign agent, and calling him out for being a critic of #intellectuals.
(4/n)
Unsurprisingly, ๐๐๐ฐ๐ฌ ๐๐๐ฎ๐ง๐๐ซ๐ฒ was one of the media outlets that whitewashed the fake foreign expert & #Khalistani stooge, ๐๐ข๐๐ญ๐๐ซ ๐ ๐ซ๐ข๐๐๐ซ๐ข๐๐ก by deliberately ignoring real facts as a part of its journalistic practice.
(5/n)
But the trigger seemed to be manifested beyond the borders; by representative of #antiindian voices on foreign soil, self-proclaimed expert & historian on South Asia, ๐๐ฎ๐๐ซ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ซ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐๐ก๐ค๐. Riled by Babones' remarks, she piled up on criticisms against him.
(6/n) #Truschke
Speaking in the language of hypocrisy, #Truschke highlighted his background as a foreign agent, slamming him for speaking in the interest of India, who worked with the US Federal govt grants.
(7/n)
While Truschke slammed #Babones for being a foreign agent by sharing the FARA document, she herself has kept a veil drawn on her background & her familyโs illegal business in #India as exposed by us earlier.
Her husband Thane Rehn & father-in-law Nathan Rehn were carrying out illegal conversion activities in India through their #missionary. But when the FCRA rules were tightened, her Christian missionary conversion family business was marred. So did her anti-India tirade begun!
(9/n)
And it began from #Pakistan. ๐๐ฎ๐๐ซ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ซ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐๐ก๐ค๐ was groomed directly by the ๐๐๐ค ๐๐๐จ๐ฌ๐ฒ๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ฆ, and even got a fellowship at American Institute of Pakistan Studies (AIPS) in 2012-13.
(10/n)
On top of that, her husband - Thane Rehn was working as an assistant professor at Jindal Global Law School (@JindalGLS) before his illegal conversion racket was caught and left India. But he also worked at the Human Rights Commission in Pakistan.
(11/n)
It is comical how blatantly such voices display their #hypocrisy. On even days they run their tirade and on odd days, try to silence those who have contrasting opinions.
(12/n)
๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ฎ๐๐ฌ๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง:
All @sbabones did was exposing fakery of certain anti-India western reports. Why some media houses & individuals got triggered?!
And not one has questioned the facts Salvatore Babones raised...
"Independent investigative" journalist Saurav Das recently dropped a hit piece against the former honorable CJI DY Chandrachud via Caravan. Funny how he never mentions his "independent" journalism is bankrolled by known propagandists like Dinesh Thakur.
Let's dive in!๐งต
Meet the new bloke in townโ Saurav Das
Off late he has become a darling of propaganda portals, this self-proclaimed "independent investigative" (read ๐ฅ๐ช๐ฉ๐ข๐ฅ๐ช) journalist uses the independence tag as window dressing for his CV
But actions speak louder than Twitter bios
2/12
Despite the "independent" badge he wears proudly Das' career is built on questionable & paid propaganda pieces
Case in point: his work for The Thakur Family Foundation(TFF), a grant-making front of Dinesh Thakur, known for targeting Indian pharma industry with deep pockets
Farce factory @USCIRF has come up with another dog & pony show- country update report on India
While it is laced with usual anti-India tropes #CAA & #Islamophobia, important to note is person drafting it
Meet Sema G Hasan & USCIRFโs Pakistani pool of โexpertsโ on India
Thread:
The report is curated by Sema Gabriela Hasan, a Pakistani-American appointed as South Asia Policy Analyst first in 2023, then promoted to senior analyst in 2024. Before this, she served as an intern at South and Central Asia Bureau, Office of Pakistan Affairs, US State Dpt
2/n
She has been closely linked to the US State Department, having previously served as a Congressional Staffer at the Joint Economic Committee as a Democratic Representative in 2019.
@AITCofficial MP @sagarikaghose referencing an anti-India #Propaganda front in the Parliament which fabricates โminority atrocity, has clear Paki footprints, is blocked in India, and keeps changing the front name when exposed โ not once, twice, but thrice.
Smallย thread:
If she is ignorant about the front (despite being a journalist) then she is unfit to be an MP, and if she knows what she is doing then she is practically colluding with enemies against Indian interests.
This so-called โIndia Hate Labโ (IHL) was earlier called the Hindutva Watch. Its website and backend tech support were being run from Pakistan. When exposed, it changed its brand to IHL.
There are some in India, still confused about the former US President #DonaldTrumpโs conviction โ whether it is politically motivated or the rule of law, is taking its course.
A brief explainer on the case and why it matters to us in India.
Aย Thread:
The case:
Itโs a bit complicated. It has been made complicated deliberately. Many (including journalists) cannot explain what the allegations are. Most think itโs the โhush moneyโ Trump paid to former porn star #StormyDaniel
Itโsย not.
2/n
The charges leveled are โfalsifying business recordsโ
Trump paid his lawyer, Michael Cohen, to pay Stormy to STFU. The payment to Cohen was given as โsalaryโ on which Cohen even paid taxes.
This is the โmislabelingโ of expenses for which Trump has been convicted.ย Really?
3/n
There are some in India still confused if Donald Trumpโs conviction is political vendetta or rule of law. We do a brief explainer on the present case and other cases brought against #Trump and why it matters to us, in India.
A Thread:
Few Facts:
It is FIRST time in US history that a โFederal Election Lawโ has been used as a direct state crime.
The definition of crime was CHANGED for the case
It is FIRST time in New York that some is changed for โfalsifying business โrecordโ as felony (serious crime)
2/n
More facts
Earlier a NEW LAW was introduced to extend time on case against Trump by #Stormy
Prosecutor is #Soros baby & a political (#Democrat)
Even before joining office he declared to prosecute Trump!
He reduced crimes to minor offences(like our #Pune judge) in 60% cases
Pak/Jamaat-backed anti-India propagandist Raqib Naik filed case in Delhi HC to unban Hindutva Watch & India Hate Lab. He's being aided by Internet Freedom Foundation (IFF) whose lawyers tell story of anti-India collusion via #Thakur #Soros
First proof of his Pak/JeI collusion
๐งต
Exhibit A
Hindutva Watch (HW) website was exposed for having backend assistance from Pak. An โinteractive mapโ of alleged human rights abuses in India on HWโs website, was developed & provided by Pak national Sardar Adil Kayani, who runs Pak's ruling PML-N party propaganda
2/n
Exhibit B
In 2021, Raqib received an award from Sound Vision Foundation USA (SVF), a US-based Jamaat front with ISI backing, led by ex-Jamaat Youth Wing head Abdul Malik Mujahid (@MalikMujahid), who supported and glorified terrorism against India.
