Bharatiya Politics always remains controversial. This week we have seen another issue, which created a political storm in Bharat. More than a dozen politicians got an alert message on their iPhones, which suggested them to take some precautionary measures to prevent any attack on their phones.
The warning on their phones, sent by Apple on Monday, seemed stark: “State-sponsored attackers may be targeting your iPhone,” it said in part. But these so-called threat notifications could, by Apple’s own admission, be a false alarm, and Mr. Modi’s government dismissed allegations that it was spying on the opposition, journalists and critics, as some speculated.
However, this article is not about the political hailstorm this issue has created, it is about the actors behind the scenes.
What is http://Accessnow.org mentioned as “DIGITAL SECURITY HELPLINE” by the Apple notification received by some politicians in India to accuse Modi Govt of the Phone Hacking and Spying using Pegasus spyware?
Let’s find out How http://Accessnow.org is funded by the George Soros and what it has been doing to undermine India and Modi Govt and how it is connected to “THE WIRE News Portal” and Indian Apposition:
In Feb 2023 anti-Indian online portal “The Wire” published a report “India Remains Internet Shutdown Capital “.
Some of the western newspapers published this report “India: ‘Internet shutdown capital of the world based on a report published by US digital rights advocacy group Access Now for the #KeepItOn coalition, “Weapons of control, shields of impunity: Internet shutdowns in 2022”.
During this entire frenzy of dubbing India as the “Internet Blackout Capital of the world”, one name is the source of data for all the media houses and Western watchdogs and that name is #KeepitOnCoalition” hosted by the US Digital human rights watchdog “Access Now”.
What is #KeepitOn Coalition?
In 2016 Access Now brought like-minded organizations together to create a campaign to end Internet shutdowns, which represent a popular tool of repression by states (As per Access Now ) looking to close the space for civil society and restrict freedoms of association, assembly, and expression. Uniting under the banner of #KeepItOn and now with 220 members worldwide, they have successfully fought internet shutdowns in several national contexts, while raising the profile of the issue at the international level.
Access Now, launched the #KeepItOn campaign at their annual RightsCon event in 2016 in Silicon Valley. They launched the #KeepItOn campaign, now a global movement of more than 200 organizations.
How “Access Now” institutionalized their project.
Access Now’s Shutdown Tracker Optimization Project (STOP) works with coalition members to record instances of shutdowns and identify emerging challenges (As per Access Now). In 2016 (#Keepiton was launched) the UN passed a resolution on the Promotion, protection, and enjoyment of human rights on the internet, condemning internet shutdowns, and urging states to refrain from ordering such measures.
This was further maintained in 2018. Meanwhile, the African Commission on Human and People’s Rights passed a resolution in 2016 condemning the use of shutdowns by state parties during elections and protests.
In 2017, 30 governments coordinated by the Freedom Online Coalition declared their commitment to fight internet shutdowns, in a statement issued at Access Now’s RightsCon meeting in Brussels.
The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights and Special Rapporteurs have condemned internet shutdowns, and have cited data collected by the coalition in their annual reports to UN bodies.
Who is “Acess Now”?
Access Now is a left-leaning internet access and digital rights advocacy group that works to decrease internet censorship and curtail violations of privacy by businesses that collect the personal data of internet users.
Access Now is a non-profit organization founded in 2009 with a mission to defend and extend the digital civil rights of people around the world.
Access Now was founded by Brett Solomon, Cameran Ashraf, Sina Rabbani, and Kim Pham in 2009, after the contested Iranian presidential election of that year. During the protests that followed this lection, Access Now disseminated the video footage which came out of Iran.
Access Now runs an annual conference, RightsCon, a multi-stakeholder event. The conference was first held in Silicon Valley in 2011.
Present Board Members of “Acess Now”:
Brett Solomon is the Executive Director and co-founder of Access Now. He has been the Campaign director of “Avaaz” another left-liberal Nonprofit propagated by Soros Henchman Tom Perriello.
Seema Chishti wife of Sitaram Yechuri of CPI(M), Board Member India for “Access Now”: Seema Chishti is presently working as an editor with the anti-India portal http://thewire.in I don’t think we need to elaborate on what http://thewire.in writes for defaming India and who funds it.
Andrew McLaughlin: A one-time Deputy CTO at the White House in Barak Obama’s tenure serves as a board member of another #Soros-funded nonprofit “Sunlight Foundation,” which has board members also on the board of “Wikimedia Foundation” which runs http://wikipedia.com
Bruce Schneier: Bruce Schneier is a fellow at the Berkman Klein Center for Internet and Society at Harvard University, and a Lecturer in Public Policy at the Harvard Kennedy School. Founder of Wikipedia Jimmy Wales also a fellow at Berkman Klein Center at Harvard. Interestingly George Soros’s Open Society Foundation funds all three: Berkman Klein Center for Internet and Society at Harvard University, Wikimedia Foundation which owns Wikipedia, and http://Accessnow.org also.
Arzu Geybulla : She writes for among other publications, Open Democracy a UK-based independent global media platform publishing up to 60 articles a week and attracting over 7 million visits per year. Open Democracy is funded by Soros and The Ford Foundation.
Nanjala Nyabola: She is a founding member of the Digital Forensic Lab at the Atlantic Council which shared a list of 40,000 pro-Hindutva handles with Twitter in the year 2019 for banning them at the behest of the US govt information regulation platform GEC.
Matt Taibbi has written about Digital Forensic Lab at the Atlantic Council in detail in one of the #Twitterfiles threads.
Here is what the board of http://accessnow.org looks like. All smiles and nice bios with uncanny hidden credentials of left-liberal agenda implementation.!!!
Acessnow.org and http://Avaaz.org connection: Avaaz is a left-of-center international campaigning organization and online pressure co-founded in 2007 by liberal online activist groups “Res Publica” and “Moveon”, along with Ricken Patel, Tom Perriello, Tom Pravda, Eli Pariser, Andrea Woodhouse, Jeremy Heimans, and David Madden.
As we saw earlier that http://accessnow.org cofounder Brett Solomon worked with http://Avaaz.org as its Global Campaign director before founding Access Now.
A look at the management of http://Avaaz.org looks like the who and who of US public policy thinkers. The most dangerous name among them is Tom Perreillo, Director of Open Society Foundation, USA.
Tom Perriello also served on the board of multiple subsidiaries of left-liberal dark money non-profit “Arabella Advisors” along with founding the Center for American Progress Action Fund (Merged with http://C40.org in 2006 which is driving the 15-minute city concept across the globe) which was established by longtime Clinton family confidant John Podesta, liberal billionaire George Soros, and a handful of other prominent Democrats and former Clinton administration officials.
Here is how Soros-funded dark money nonprofit Arabella Advisors looks like in its organizational structure.
Avaaz’s website claims to have 55 million members in 194 countries,15 and then on a different page claims to have over 60 million members. According to its website FAQs, Avaaz’s largest membership base is in Brazil and France. Avaaz reported approx $26 million in contributions on its federal nonprofit tax return. Because Avaaz is set up as a social welfare group, donations are not tax deductible and that means no one knows who donated money to http://Avaaz.org ….!!!
Soros Frontman Tom Perriello is on the board of directors of “Governing for Impact” (GFI) a secretive left-of-center regulatory policy think tank created in 2019 to “prepare a new US administration.
“Governing for Impact” (GFI) a secretive left-of-center regulatory policy think tank that drives the leftist agenda of transformative governance” by writing left-leaning regulatory recommendations for federal bureaucratic agencies in the US Govt. As stated earlier “Governing for Impact” (GFI) is a secretive left-of-center regulatory policy think tank, which advises the present US administration of Joe Biden on the implementation of left-liberal agendas in very shadow manners. US frontman of #Soros, Tom Perriello peddles so much influence that he has direct access to the White House and sometimes he has visited the White House multiple times on the same day, something which even senior most Biden Team members don’t do.
Now we have established the network of http://access.org+ http://Avaaz.org+ Open Society Foundation + Arabella Advisors + Governing for Impact (GFI) + Joe Biden Administration and we also saw that all of them being nonprofit social work organizations have legal immunity against not disclosing the names of their donors. This loophole of IRS rule 501(c) has been exploited by all left-liberal dark money nonprofit organizations.
This is how desperate our apposition and entire Western neocon Kabal is to Dethrow Shri Narendra Modi Ji out of power as he is their biggest roadblock in India to loot India and control India through corrupt I.N.D.I.A. alliance. Resurfacing of the “Pegasus” controversy is not a incident, it is a well-planned ploy to destroy the credibility of the present BJP Govt. and may be protect corrupt cronies like Mahua Moitra and so many others by painting them like a victim rather than a criminal as per latest ongoing Govt. inquiry into the dealings of the Mahua Moitra, who is making most of the noise today on the “Pegasus” incident. Stay tune for the part 2 of the thread to see How deeply http://accessnow.org is embedded in India through its alliance’s partners.
Now we will see how in the garb of Social Causes and think Tanks, Left Liberal NeoCon and Soros funded http://accessnow.org created its network in India.
Now if we look at the http://accessnow.orgpartners for their #STOP project through #KeepitOn campaign, we saw that one of their partners in Idia is “Feminism in India” in addition to their proxy association with http://thewire.in through board member Seema Chishti. (Refer to Part 1 of the thread).
“Feminism in India” started out as a Facebook page, in 2013, that curated feminist content from the Internet. Its founder Japleen Pasricha previously worked at the nonprofit “Point of View” which has received multiple grants from http://accessnow.org. Interestingly Japleen Pasricha has worked with mumbai based non profit “Point of View” in the year 2015. Here is the linked in profile of the Japleen Pasricha” (https://linkedin.com/in/japleen-pasricha-8864b348/details/experience/…). We will see in the later part of the thread, what is the role of the Mumbai based “Point of View” non profit is.
Second partner of http://accessnow.org in India is http://Pointofview.org is a Mumbai-based nonprofit founded in 1996, working on the theme of Internet Democracy: Promoting an Internet that supports free speech, social justice, and democracy, in India and beyond.
Interestingly enough, in addition to grants received from http://accessnow.org, http://pointofview.org is also funded by “Omidyar Network India”.
http://pointofview.org was founded by Bishakha Datta, who is a filmmaker, activist, and former journalist. She also serves on the board of nonprofit organizations including Creating Resources for Empowerment in Action and Wikimedia Foundation 2010-2014, where she was the first Indian to serve on the board of trustees. Open Society Foundation, Ford Foundation, and Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation are primary donors who funded the Wikimedia Foundation which runs http://wikipedia.org.
So we saw that http://accessnow.orgis driving its agenda in India through its New Delhi Office + http://thewire.in(Editor Seema Chishti is a board member of Access now)+ Feminism in India (#KeepitOn campaign partner) + http://Pointofview.org (Funded by Access Now and Omidyar Network India) + http://pointofview.org founder Bishakha Datta is a former Soros-funded wikimedia foundation trustee.
Another India connection of http://accessnow.org is its donor Patrick J. McGovern Foundation which is headed by one Vilas Dhar as its president.
On March 15th, 2023 Patrick J. McGovern Foundation announced a partnership with the Omidyar network to launch the $1.3M Data Empowerment Fund. The $1.3M Data Empowerment Fund supports experiments, pilots, and prototypes to create #tech, #legal, and #community solutions to build infrastructure for #data empowerment. A look at the profile of Mr. Vikas Dhar, we find some interesting details: – named a Young Global Leader and Global Shaper by the World Economic Forum – a Practitioner Resident on Artificial Intelligence at the Rockefeller Foundation’s Bellagio Center.
Now finally Let us look at the donor funding received by http://accessnow.org (which published the report mentioning India as global capital of internet lockdowns) in the last 4 years with a clear pattern of Soros backing along with some major contributions from Google, Facebook, Mozilla, and Swedish, German, and UK governments.
http://accessnow.org donor funding pattern since 2019 – Part 2
Shri Narendra Modi and the present govt of India are perceived as one such roadblock by left-liberal kabal. So http://accessnow.org suddenly woke up in the year 2015 to start publishing an annual report on global internet blackouts in the name of digital human rights and for the last 5 years http://accessnow.orgis constantly labeling India as the country with the highest number of internet blackouts per year to cast a negative picture of India’s human rights and government policies regarding digital infrastructure as a basic right.
One interesting trend in the donor list of http://accessmow.orgis that Facebook, Google, and #Twitter all are funding http://acessnow.org. More interesting is that Google’s in-house disinformation pre-bunking platform is also funding http://Accessnow.org.
So it looks like the supposed guardians of truth are paying money to someone else to create white lies with “Truth” written all over them. This actually explains why BigTech itself is the biggest source of disinformation above all. We just saw that during Covid Pandemic!!
So in nutshell, you shall not be surprised to see I.N.D.I.A. Alliance making “Pegasus Lies” noise once again to derail the present Govt., Shri Narendra Modi and Sanatan Dharma’s resurgence and India’s economic march as upcoming superpower. In Part 3, i will explain how deep state and NeoCons want a multipolar world as next step to their “NEW WORLD ORDER” and why Shri Narendra Modi is their biggest roadblock.
