A Swiss tech expert runs a global phone surveillance system for Deep State, and it is a spider's web we never knew, existed.

Let us decode, how it works:

1. Welcome to the world of surveillance contractors, telecom access brokers, and an industry of grey actors with seemingly legitimate businesses. Some are regulated, some are procured by state clients - and some are sold to private actors, providing hackers and criminals alike… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
2. At the center of this global telecom surveillance web is a tech expert and telecom entrepreneur, a former ally of Julian Assange and vocal critic of the security state, now turned surveillance industry enabler.
His name is Andreas Fink.

#Assange #Snowden #surveillance #CIA… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
3. Andreas Fink has built a surveillance apparatus that he has put at the disposal of governments and companies around the world including Israel’s Rayzone Group, a top-tier cyber intelligence company. Fink’s set-up is capable of exploiting loopholes in mobile phone connection… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… https://www.spiegel.de/netz...
4. A computer and telecommunications engineer, Fink is a former payment processor for Wikileaks, an entrepreneur who supports the libertarian Pirate Party but masterminds a global surveillance infrastructure that he has placed at the disposal of governments and companies,… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
5. Andreas Fink offers his customers the ability to use a highly customizable interface, called Venotex, to send tracking requests via a roster of phone network access points that he maintains. Venotex was the system seemingly linked to the software used by Team Jorge. Fink… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
6. One of Fink’s systems was seen in the system used by the Israeli hacker-for-hire and disinformation group Team Jorge as part of their operations, which required access to the global cellular network. An international investigation led by underground journalists revealed that… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
7. When underground reporters asked about his role as an access broker exploiting telecom networks, Fink said: “I’m by far not the only kid on the block”. He cited “bigger companies with fewer scruples” including NSO Group, FinFisher, and Hacking Team, and said that “Israel,… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
8. Andreas Fink has offered location tracking services to multiple governments and companies, directly and through intermediaries. In Africa, he pitched projects in Mali and the Democratic Republic of Congo and provided technical assistance to a service provider for a government… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
9. Among his current customers is Rayzone Group, a high-end Israeli surveillance company that sells a “remote and undetectable” location tracking tool called Geomatrix. The firm was implicated in the operation to recapture fleeing Emirati princess Latifa al-Maktoum as she… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
10. Fink has also in the past worked with two other Israeli surveillance firms, Verint and Septier, both of which offer location-tracking services to government agencies. These companies tested his systems “but it never came to a viable long-term business."

#Assange #Snowden… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
11. A look at the websites of Rayzone and Septier clearly shows the extent and capability of their offerings and it looks like a Walmart of Surveillance software and tools.

In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, he demonstrated his surveillance system to intelligence officials. The demo involved him pinpointing the location of an individual who, the officials said, operated an anonymous… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
13. So how this web of mobile spying works?
Central to understanding the Adreas Fink's operation is a list of network access points, called “global titles”. These GTs are not only operated by telephone service providers but also leased by private companies from SMS vendors to… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
14. SS7 and hacking the locations and SMSs details on behalf of espionage clients
There's also evidence of successful SMS interceptions conducted over Finks infrastructure. Fink's systems carried out frequent and sustained attempts to extract information, including location… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
15. How SS7 Attack works to hack SMSs and geolocation:
SS7 attacks are mobile cyber attacks that exploit security vulnerabilities in the SS7 protocol to compromise and intercept voice and SMS communications on a cellular network. Similar to a Man In the Middle attack, SS7 attacks… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
16. Step 1 of SS7 Mobile Network Hacking
S7 attacks exploit the authentication capability of communication protocols running atop the SS7 protocol to eavesdrop on voice and text communications. All a cybercriminal would need to successfully launch an SS7 attack are a computer… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
17. Step 2 of SS7 Mobile Network Hacking

Once connected to an SS7 network, the hacker can target subscribers on the network while fooling the network into thinking the hacker device is actually an MSC/VLR node. When a hacker successfully performs a MitM phishing attack, they… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… https://www.firstpoint-mg.c...
18. Two-factor authentication a common security precaution used by many is one of the targets of SS7 attacks. Two-factor authentication (also known as 2FA) via SMS using SS7 is inherently flawed as these SMS messages are unencrypted and hackers know how to intercept them. With… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
19. Major SS7 Attacks
In 2021 a security analyst saw some unusual activity in Southeast Asia. An attacker tried to access internet accounts belonging to wealthy investors in the country, using a technique to redirect security SMSs to the attacker. Some of these attacks succeeded,… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
20. Major SS7 Attacks
In two earlier cases, U.K. GTs registered to Adreas Fink’s bankrupt former company, SMSRelay, were also implicated in account takeover attacks, this time specifically aimed at financial assets of phone users. In 2017 a group of bank customers lost money… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
21. Death delivered at your doorstep through your mobile
in January 2021 Fink leased access to more than a dozen global titles from phone networks in the Pacific Ocean in Vanuatu, Samoa, Tonga, Papua New Guinea and Fiji. The following year, on 21 August, according to confidential… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image

FROM THE EPSTEIN FILES:
Unsealed Doc EFTA02420041 confirms: In 2010, Kapil Sibal & Sam Pitroda attended a high-society Gala in NYC hosted by the International Institute of Education (IIE).
🧵
Tickets: $1,250. Tables: $12,500.
Why does this matter?
Look at who funds the IIE to run "India Centric" programs:
🔹 Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (Health "Capacity
Building")
🔹 Ford Foundation ("Social Change" Leaders)
🔹 George Soros’ OSF (Civil Society Scholars)
🔹 Rockefeller Foundation (Smart Power India)
🔹 Carnegie Corp (Academic Partnerships)
and
Henry Luce foundation (Luce Scholars India)

Mr. Sibal was "honored" at this event. Connecting the dots yet? 🦅🇮🇳

#EpsteinFiles #KapilSibal #SamPitroda #Soros #IndiaImage
1. Rockefeller Smart Power India (SPI)

1. Mukund Rajan (Chairman, Board of Directors)
The most significant "connection" is familial and social rather than professional.

Family Tie (Raghuram Rajan): Mukund Rajan is the brother of Raghuram Rajan (former RBI Governor). Raghuram Rajan.

2. Jaideep Mukherji (CEO)
The connection here is functional and governance-based. Under his leadership, Smart Power India has partnered with state governments to implement energy projects, including those ruled by the Congress party.

Rajasthan Government Partnership (Ashok Gehlot Era): SPI worked closely with the Congress-led Rajasthan government (under former CM Ashok Gehlot) to modernize the state's power distribution.

Chhattisgarh Government (Bhupesh Baghel Era): SPI has engaged with the Chhattisgarh Renewable Energy Development Agency (CREDA) during the Congress administration to promote decentralized renewable energy (DRE) solutions for rural livelihoods.Image
2. Luce Scholars Program (India Placements)

Radhika Shroff

Role: Member, Board of Directors (Henry Luce Foundation).

Significance: Appointed to the board recently (August 2025), she is a key voice in the foundation's governance. Notably, she is herself an alumna of the Luce Scholars Program (placed in Thailand previously). She is a Managing Director at Nuveen (a major investment management firm).

he Henry Luce Foundation does not have its own office in India. Instead, the Luce Scholars Program is administered in Asia by The Asia Foundation. The "leadership" that manages the India placements—selecting host organizations, mentoring scholars, and handling logistics—sits within The Asia Foundation's New Delhi office.

Nandita Baruah
Role: Country Representative, India (The Asia Foundation).
Responsibility: As the head of the India office, she oversees the team that facilitates Luce Scholars' entry into India. Her team is responsible for identifying the "host organizations" (NGOs, think tanks, cultural bodies) where scholars work.

Centre for Policy Research (CPR) and SEWA (Self Employed Women’s Association host Luce scholars in India for mentorship programs.Image

🚨 BREAKING: The Activist Industrial Complex has found a new enemy.
It’s not a politician.
It’s not a guru.
It’s code.
Ladies and Gentlemen, say Hello to "The Brahmin AI." 🤖🙏
The new chapter in the global caste narrative has dropped, and it’s more ridiculous than you think.
A Thread 🧵👇
#AI #Caste #Tech

The Set Up
Finally, after classifying all the lesser mortals under the sky, the "Seculars," the Anti-Caste Activists, and the Narrative Builders have run out of humans to cancel. So, they turned to the servers.
Apparently, Python scripts have a Varna now. 🐍📉

The Core Argument
Let’s check: How much BRAHMIN is the AI❓
Is ChatGPT waking up at 4 AM to do Sandhyavandanam?
Does Gemini refuse to eat onions?
No.
But according to the new "Academic Polarization" playbook, if an algorithm prioritizes logic, pattern recognition, and merit, it is inherently oppressive.

The "Why" ?
Why is this narrative being pushed? Because Tech was the last frontier based on competence, not identity. By labeling AI as "Casteist" or "Brahminical," the goal is simple: Control the input.
Rig the output.
Import the "Reservation" model into the Neural Networks. 🧠🚫

The Punchline
"The Brahmin AI" is a boogeyman created to keep the grievance industry alive.
If the AI gives you facts you don't like, it’s not an error. It’s "Digital Untouchability."
The mental gymnastics required to link Silicon Valley code to Ancient Indian social structures deserves a Gold Medal. 🥇🤸‍♂️

The Call to Action
Make no mistake. This isn't about equality. It's about colonizing the digital space with the same broken politics that ruined the physical one.
Don't let them gaslight you.
RT if you think Code has no Caste. 🔄
Like if you trust Math more than Activists. ❤️Image
1. The trail

Historically if you look at the kind of damage which has been done by the leftists academics to India's institutes is unfathomable.
Pre 1947
We had European scholars/ academics writing Christian missionary versions of our scriptures.
Post 1947
We have had our indigenous brown sepoys who took great pride in the desecration and distortion of of our scriptures, our social ethos and eidos while terming Ramayana and Mahabharata as a myth.

The latest UGC Equity guidelines was just another extension of this Academic - Activist - Institutional - Industrial Complex.

Just for a memory shake up, check the below list and see for yourself!!
Do our children deserve this kind of divisive, polarizing rants in our academic institutes in the name of research funded by Tax Payor money??
All of these 86 publications are based on:

1. Ramayana Mahabharat are a myth.
2. Upper caste dominance in academic institutes
3. Upper caste academic depriving lower caste academics from resources and faculty positions
4. Upper caste academics control everything in academicsImage
2. The Loudmouths

Even if you check left aligned media platforms, they are super busy in driving this propaganda to the hilt and with total shameless propaganda bordering very close to the proverbial profanities!!Image

🚨Explosive Detsils on Mira Nair, mother of New York socialist fraud Zohran Mamdani🧵
Mira Nair married her teacher in Harvard.
Guess what was the name of the teacher and her first husband??
- Mitchell Epstein
Looks like Mira Nair had a special fetish for the Epstein Surname!!
Though Mitch Epstein is not all related to Jeffrey Epstein.Image

🧵 THE ANATOMY OF LAWFARE: The Indira Jaising & Anand Grover Files

How do you dismantle a nation's sovereignty using its own laws? 🇮🇳⚖️

A deep dive into the funding, foreign connections, and "anti-establishment" networks of India's most powerful legal power couple.

A thread on Money, Influence, and Dissent.

Read on..........Image
1. The Money heist

Between 2006-2015, the Lawyers Collective (LC) received approx. INR 32.39 CRORE in foreign contributions.

Who paid?
🇺🇸 Ford Foundation: ~₹7.2 Cr
🇨🇭 Open Society (Soros): ~₹4.1 Cr
🇺🇸 Levi Strauss: Part of ~₹15.3 Cr US total

Why? "Secularism" & "Policy Advocacy."

Much has been written about the foreign funding received by Indira Jaisingh and her husband Anand Grover through their non profit "The Lawyers Collective", especially form The Open Society Foundations but two organisations where both husband and wife were members and fierce advocates are:

1. Committee for Release of Political Prisoners (CRPP)

The CRPP is a "frontal organization" for the banned Communist Party of India (Maoist).
Investigations by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) and state police forces (e.g., Telangana Police) have found that the CRPP receives funding and directives directly from the CPI (Maoist) to carry out activities that align with the banned outfit's agenda.
The NIA has labeled the CRPP, along with other organizations like the Persecuted Prisoners Solidarity Committee (PPSC), as a frontal organization of the CPI (Maoist) in its charge sheets

Rona Wilson, the Public Relations Secretary of the CRPP, was arrested in 2018 under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) for alleged links to the CPI (Maoist) and for facilitating funding for their activities. Balla Ravindranath, the general secretary, has also been named in police affidavits describing the organization as a Maoist front.

2. Indian People's Tribunal (IPT)

The Indian People's Tribunal on Environment and Human Rights (IPT), also known as the Independent People's Tribunal, was established in 1993 as an initiative of the Human Rights Law Network (HRLN) and the Socio-Legal Information Centre (SLIC). Consequently, its operations are supported by the funding ecosystem of its parent bodies.
both the Human Rights Law Network (HRLN) and the Socio-Legal Information Centre (SLIC) have received massive funding from the Open Society foundations of George Soros till 2016 just like Indira Jaisisngh's The Lawyers Collective.Image
3. THE ASG CONFLICT: SERVING INDIA OR DONORS?

While Indira Jaising was the Additional Solicitor General (ASG) of India (2009-2014), representing the sovereign state, she allegedly received ~₹96 Lakh from foreign funds.

Violating FCRA? The Home Ministry thought so. You can't serve the Govt and foreign donors simultaneously.

The incredible true story of how a single recovered PL-15 transformed the Astra missile from a standard BVR into a sniper rifle for AWACS. 🧵
During the Operation Sindoor, A Pakistani pilot panic-fired a Chinese PL-15 into the grey zone towards a IAF Rafale Fighter. He thought he was safe.
He wasn’t.
The missile didn’t explode. It landed intact. And in 4 hours, DRDO engineers uncovered a secret that just boosted the IAF’s kill zone by 50%.
Here is the story of how a "dud" missile became India’s greatest strategic windfall.
China stole the tech from the US. Sold it to Pakistan. And Pakistan accidentally airmailed it to India..😂

The PL-15 "game changer" wasn't the motor—it was the fuel. CL-20.

How DRDO cracked the "impossible" chemistry in 6 months to turn the Astra Mk-1 into a 160km monster without changing a single bolt.

Look at this image. That’s not just scrap metal. That’s a billion-dollar R&D budget delivered to DRDO by a foolish adversary.

Because of one unexploded PL-15, the Indian Air Force just collapsed a 10-year development timeline into 6 months.

The tables have turned. Made in China. Refined in India. Ready to burn. 🔥

They claimed it was a 200km Apex Predator. Physics proved them wrong. DRDO proved them obsolete.
#IndianAirForce #DRDO #DefenseNews #AstraMissile #Geopolitics #India #China #MilitaryTech #PL15Image
1. The Incident:
A Pakistani J-10 pilot found himself locked up by an Indian Rafale. Panic set in.
He didn't have the position, but he had a weapon his Chinese suppliers promised was an apex predator: The PL-15.
He fired blindly into the Grey Zone, praying for a miracle.
The miracle didn't happen. The missile burned hot, exhausted its first pulse, and ran out of kinetic energy miles short. It became a lawn dart. It tumbled out of the sky, skipped like a stone off the soft earth, and came to rest... intact.Image
2. The Gift

Standard procedure for a lost advanced weapon is immediate airstrikes. You bomb the wreck until it's dust.
But the adversary was in disarray. Within minutes, Indian special response teams were moving. This wasn't a recovery; it was a snatch-and-grab of the highest order.
Four hours later, the PL-15 was under X-ray scanners at a DRDO complex in Hyderabad.
Engineers didn't care about the radar seeker or software.
They wanted to know the range. How was China claiming 200km on a missile that size? The geometry didn't make sense.

🚨 UGC Equity Guidelines Impact on the General Category
🧵
If an "Equity" rule creates a new marginalized group, is it still Equity? 🤔
The new #UGC 2026 guidelines effectively strip General Category students of protection against reverse discrimination.
No safeguards. No representation.
Are we witnessing the institutionalization of bias in the name of solving it?
Here is a brief explainer of this debate with data backed points.
Do read..............Image
1. Definition of Caste-Based Discrimination

Defines discrimination as any unfair, biased, or differential treatment based on caste, religion, race, gender, place of birth, or disability, explicitly extending protections to SC, ST, OBC, and other marginalized groups. Excludes general category as potential victims in the framing.

Impact on General Category Students
Creates a presumption that discrimination primarily affects reserved categories, potentially leading to "reverse bias" where general category students are seen as inherent perpetrators without safeguards, fostering divisions and a chilling effect on campus interactions. This exacerbates competition, as general category enrollment has declined from 56.9% in 2010-11 to 39.2% in 2022-23, amid rising reserved category shares.

What Data says:
UGC data shows a 118.4% rise in reported caste-based discrimination cases (from 173 in 2019–20 to 378 in 2023–24, totaling 1,160 complaints), but critics argue the definition marginalizes general category students by ruling them out as victims.

Enrollment data indicates SC/ST/OBC share rose from 43.1% in 2010-11 to 60.8% in 2022-23, reducing general category access.

The regulations' wording "particularly against" reserved groups implies exclusivity, raising fears of uneven enforcement.

NEP 2020 supports equity for SEDGs but does not address general category safeguards, contributing to perceptions of systemic disadvantage..
2. Mandate for Equal Opportunity Centres (EOCs) and Equity Committees

Requires every HEI to establish EOCs for promoting inclusion and supporting disadvantaged students, along with equity committees that must include representatives from SC, ST, OBC, PwD, and women, but no mandatory representation for general category members.

Impact on General Category Students

Leads to one-sided committees that may presume guilt against general category students in complaints, eroding trust in impartial investigations and increasing vulnerability to misuse for personal or academic rivalries. This is compounded by higher dropout risks for general students due to stress, with 75% of disadvantaged students reporting discrimination in a 2019 study, indirectly heightening general category fears.

Committees lack general category representation, potentially creating biased bodies that prioritize reserved groups, as highlighted in protests and resignations.

What Data says:
A 2019 IIT Delhi study found 75% of historically disadvantaged students faced discrimination, but this setup could widen caste divisions and make general category students feel unsafe.

NEP 2020 calls for institutional plans for SEDG participation but omits balanced representation, leading to uneven resource allocation.

UGC resolved 1,052 of 1,160 complaints (90.68%), but pending cases rose from 18 to 108, signaling backlog risks for all.
