IF TRUTH BE KNOWN ABOUT INFUSION OF FOREIGN MONEY INTO KEJARIWAR, KABIR AND AAM ADMI PARTY, THE SCAM OF ANTI-CORRUPTION DRAMA WILL BE EXPOSED.

Ford Foundation, Hivos, Panos and Dutch Embassy- 

Is Kejariwal an American agent?

  Updated as on 6^th January, 2014

 Thirteen Questions for Mr. Chameleon Kejariwal 

1.     .     When was the “ Sampoorna Parivartan” registered and what is the registration number and other details of the NGO?

2.      When was ‘Parivartan’ created  out of Sampoorna Parivartana?  Is it true that Sampporna Parivartan was given a grant of 85000 dollars by Ford Foundation in 2002 and only on aspect of looting money , different groups were created?

3.     Is it true that you continue to claim  the legal status of  Parivartan as follow: “Parivartan is not registered under any Act as a society or a trust or a Company. It is a people’s movement. For Income Tax purposes, it is an Association of Persons.”

4.     Is it true that you advertised through various medium  in  June 2002 that “All donations made to Parivartan are tax exempt under section 80 G. Parivartan is also registered under section 12A of Income Tax Act. “? Is this not misleading information aimed to dupe Samaritans?

5.     Did you receive funds from the World bank for your campaign of Jan Sunvai in Delhi under the banner  of Parivartan? When Parivartan was  not registered, how was the fund routed?

6.     Is it true that the World Bank featured the insignificant  work  of Parivartan in their Report  ,”Social Accountability Stocktaking Exercise for South and East Asia. Washington, DC: World Bank Institute. (2005)(pp.30-32)
http://www.worldbank.org/socialaccountability_sourcebook/Regional%20database/Case%20studies%20on%20s

7.      Is it true that you were selected for the Magsaysay  Award only after featuring in this World Bank  report ?Is it also true that Narayan Murthy, the INFOSYS Chief is a  Trustee of  Ford Foundation and pushed for  your award?

8.     Is it true that  in your  biography  as prepared by the Ramon Magsaysay Foundation,   the first reference has been made to the CIA(Central intelligence of America)?Is it a mere coincidence or Freudian slippage  that reveals the true character?

9.      Is it true that  a New York university researcher Shimrit Lee worked with your organization, Kabeer in 2009-10  and advised you  for launching a Colour Revolution kind of political mobilization in India? Is it true that subsequently she went to Egypt and witnessed the Tahrir uprising?Is it also true that  she advised in 2010 for public protest in India and creation of mohalla and gram sabhas? Did you seek clearance from Home Ministry for hosting a suspicious researcher who has been active in the Middle east, Chad in Africa, required as per law of the land?

10. Is it true that  you represented  Sampoorna  Parivartan  NGO  and   the Secretary of the  NGO that you had founded worked in the Commission Advisory Committee of the  Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission constituted vide  the NOTIFICATION  No. F.1(135)/DERC/2000-01/5092 Delhi, the 27^th March, 2003  and  therefore  you  bear  the sole responsibility for the  crisis in Delhi caused by power hike and  installation of faulty metres?

11.  Is it true that you talk about transparency but shut down the website of both Parivartan and Kabir when the same came under scrutiny in 2012?

12.  Is it true that  synchronous with  your action in concealing the issue of dubious foreign funding for ulterior political motives, the Ford Foundation has also hidden all the details about  funding to Kabir when this blog post appeared in October 2012 and  was widely attracting the attention of patriotic Indians, thereby pointing to your  complicity with dubious foreign organizations?

13.                        Is it true that you sought  funds from foreign embassies, including that of Dutch Embassy even after being aware that all Dutch funding to Indian NGOs was stopped for many years after 2002 since those funds  percolated to anti-national forces  as per  government reports?

(Original Piece That appeared on 21st October,2012 raising serious question about Kabir and Kejariwal. Immediately after the blog post was being tweeted, Mr.  Transparency Chameleon Kejariwal's site of Kabir was off and all details from Ford Foundation website about Kabir has been hidden , exposing the complicity of Kejariwal and Ford and by extension Kejariwal and the US game-makers.)  

     Finally, someone has spoken what I have been writing and stating for months- AK-47 is an imported stuff with dubious agenda who have ventilated Indian youth’s growing radicalism and hyper-nationalism far away from resisting  neo-imperial strategies of the global hegemony by  US and diverted it to plastic protest against  India’s crony politico-corporate elite. It is not that  the uprising against corruption is misguided. But, the man who seeks credit for  the intense mood against the crooked class, himself appears fragile and dubious.  Let us  not forget what Digvijay Singh has raised through 27 questions, only because those have been raised by someone called Diggy! There are certain significant question and these need to be properly answered and not merely rubbished as Diggy’s questions.. I will put up various links unraveling the hands behind Arvind’s bloated confidence. 

      Digvijay Singh has asked AK on his service records: “Is it a fact that in your entire service of 20 years in Indian Revenue Service, you never served outside Delhi even though the norms of the service are that all IRS officers serve a posting only for three years in a place? Is it a fact that even your wife, who is also an IRS officer, has never served outside Delhi?”

    Now, it is certain that if an honest officer intends to bring transparency and take  action against wrong-doers, he cannot be tolerated by the seniors and the political-business class. It is surprising that AK was never transferred out of prime posting in the city of Delhi and when he was transferred for the first time to another lively city, Chandigarh; he proceeded on leave.  He could remain posted in Delhi throughout his career defying service rules and this reflects that he was never a thorn to the corrupt persons. As an IRS, he himself admitted that he did not take bribe , but he maintained silence against his staff taking bribe. He also gave interviews during 2009 that he was offered bribes and thence he decided to work for transparency in the system. Mind it, not only transfer, AK never had to face any tough situation during his stint as Indian revenue service officer. One can just contrast his case with case of Arun Bhatiya, G.P. Khairnar or recently Ashok Khemka who had to face 43 transfers in 19 years of service or CSS officer, Niraj Kumar who had to face 7 years of suspension and more than 15 transfers in his entire career of 15 years after being alleged to be the hand behind a website tehelka.com  that exposed massive corruption in defence sector and for exposing CIA activities in India through Dutch NGOs, massive loot of funds in the name of Surrender Policy for militants, Freedom Fighter Pension scam, the secret killing in Assam etc.

       AK had a very smooth career. He qualified Civil services exam(1991) and was  allotted IRS. He tried again  next year , but again could not improve his ranking and joined as IRS. His service record was ordinary.    

     In January 2000, he took leave  from work and founded an NGO,  Parivartan .In 2002, he received first installment of foreign grant from Ford Foundation in 2002 in the name of Sampoorna Parivartan to a tune of $ 80000.( http://www.fordfoundation.org/pdfs/library/ar2002.pdf--See, p.104).This was equal to  15 years of his then salary. In February 2006, he finally  resigned from the job, to work full-time at 'Parivartan' and Kabir. 

Brief Profile of AK- Never working, shirking  government Parasite

Date of Birth: July 16, 1968  Education: B. Tech. (Hons) in Mechanical Engineering ,Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur (1989).  Experience:  a) Worked as Assistant Manager in The Tata Iron & Steel Co, Jamshedpur (1989 to 1992). b)  Joined the Indian Revenue Service (IRS IT-92069) in 1992 . c) Date of Appointment  to Group A- 5.9.1993. d) Kejriwal took study leave from the government between November 2000 and October 2002, after signing the bond . During 2000-2002, Kejriwal was paid a salary, under the condition that he would not leave the service for at least three years upon returning from the study leave e) Promoted as Joint Commissioner, IT on 26.3.2003. f) Kejriwal again went on Extra-ordinary  leave without pay in 2004. g) Never posted out of Delhi. CBDT planned  to give him posting to another urban centre, Chandigarh. His wife Sunita Kejariwal(IRS IT-93072) also never posted out of Delhi between 1995-2004 and then to Ghaziabad. h)  He arranged a letter from Mrs. Sonia Gandhi, the then NAC Chairperson to PM and the Finance Minister to stop his impending transfer.   i) Arvind resigned on  20 Feb 2006. j) Resignation pending since he had gone on foreign training after signing a bond that he will serve the government for three years. k) Resignation accepted   through CBDT notification dated   20.12.2011 w.e.f 20 Feb 2006 only after he paid dues of Rs. 9.27 lakhs.

    Same year he received Ramon Magsaysay Award for Emergent Leadership(2006). The guiding hand of Ford Foundation is behind AK’s every move since then. The Magsaysay Award for Emergent Leadership seeks to inspire young people to apply their talents and energies to selfless and innovative service in Asia; and  this award category was exclusively  created in 2000 with support from a Ford Foundation grant, and honors greatness of spirit among men and women forty years old and below. http://www.rmaf.org.ph/?id=2&page=history.

   
 In fact Magsaysay Foundation itself was planned by CIA. This declassified document of CIA reveals the same. 

 AK got this award of $ 50000 at the age of 38 and the citation does not reveal some significant contribution except the fact that under the aegis of Parivartana, AK and his team could settle 2500 cases of    electric bills grievances. The Magsaysay awards in different categories are constituted by the Rockefeller Brothers Foundation and a substantial part of the cash component is funded by the Ford Foundation (FF). Surprisingly, it is the Ford Foundation only that was financing AK during the same period while AK was also working in the Government of India. Even in the citation of  the Magsaysay award to Kejariwal, was it a happy coincidence that the first reference was made to the Central Intelligence of  America(CIA)(http://www.rmaf.org.ph/newrmaf/main/awardees/awardee/biography/141). Later,   AK who  had  founded another organization , Kabir, with Manish Sisodia in August,2005, became a poodle conduit for the Ford foundation-Dutch and other active American interests in India. . 

Herein is the capsule of Kejariwal's   dubious NGO career: 

While on Study Leave and taking full salary, started Parivartan along with Manish Sisodia in 2000 for RTI campaign.

 As on  March10,2009, Parivartan is not an NGO or registered under any Act of Governments in India.  

 This is what the Parivartan site reveals:

About Us

3. But then Parivartan  did receive World Bank Project without being covered under any Indian Act?  Has  Kejariwal disclosed it anywhere?

Reference: The World Bank Report  Social Accountability Stocktaking Exercise for South and East Asia. Washington, DC: World Bank Institute. (2005) is available on following link:
http://www.worldbank.org/socialaccountability_sourcebook/Regional%20database/Case%20studies%20on%20s

(pp.30-32 is on Arvind Kejariwal and Parivartan)

4. Kejariwal and his Parivartan are chameleon who failed to hide their character. Parivartan  is neither a registered society, Trust or company or anything under any Act of India. As on April 8,2002; it is not registered http://web.archive.org/web/20020402040840/http://www.parivartan.com/

5. But, as on June 28,2002, the website claimed  it is registered under Societies Registration Act, 1860 in the name of "Sampoorna Parivartan" and that all donations made to Parivartan are exempt under Section 80G and 12A of IT Act. The website sought donations from public  This is a public fraud and a criminal case should now be filed against Kejariwal and Sisodia for duping people to donate them through their mischievous advertisement on their own website.

1. 1.    (http://web.archive.org/web/20020402040840/http://www.parivartan.com/)

   1. NGO Kabir spun off of Parivartan and began operations on August 15th, 2005.(http://web.archive.org/web/20071220235851/http://www.kabir.org.in/whoweare.htm)
   2.  Office of KABIR , D - 59, Third Floor, Pandav      Nagar, Delhi- 110092, Ph : 22485139. The website came in operation since 17th Dec.2007 with following address, www.kabir.org.in

   2. Kabir was funded heavily by Ford Foundation. This is surprising that  Kabir started getting funds from the very first year of operation.In fact, the Annual  return of Kabir suggest that they were granted ford Foundation fund of Rs. 4348036 on 15th July 2005, even before the NGO started operations. Though, the Ford Foundation has removed the data for   Kabir from grant data base with an ulterior motive, the Annual Report of the Ford Foundation  for the year 2005 clearly mention that kabir was granted $1,72,000 in the year 2005. Here is the link to the Annual report of the Ford Foundation itself.(http://www.fordfoundation.org/pdfs/library/ar2005.pdf

Kabir ‘s FCRA submission(Calculated from the Annual return of Kabir)

Sl. No	Year	Total amount of FC received and source
1	2005-06	Rs. 4348036 from Ford Foundation on 15.7.2005
2	2006-07	Rs.3205970 from Ford Foundation on 12.12.2006
3	2008-09	$1,97000 from Ford Foundation

This is stupendous feat of award disbursement that the donor turns into the awardee for its own beneficiary. Everything seems to be premeditated and made out to launch “own men” in Indian public sphere. AK became a Ford Foundation- created “important man”.  

What is surprising that Kabir  claims to be transparent , but has  not made public its foreign grants for the year 2008-9. The search at the site returns “failed’ report http://www.kabir.org.in/indexx.htm . But, the  Ford Foundation site  reveals it all. Kabir was given a grant of $1,97,000 in the year 2008. http://www.fordfoundation.org/grants/grantdetails?grantid=107117.The study of reports on the Kabir's website sow that the next year also they received  Rs. 6075149 in the year 2009-10. But the details have been hidden as Annexures not made public in the name of transparency.

We have the later detail of $1,97000 on Ford Foundation website  for the year 2011. But as per the FF Representative, the Kabir did not take this year fun as they were involved in political movement of Jan Lokpal bill. 

Kabir’s own declaration of Year wise details of Foreign Contributions

8	2012-13	0

Now, things turn up crystal clear. AK was picked up by the Ford Foundation way back in 2001. The Ford Foundation began to finance his all activities and pushed him into limelight by  conferring him the Magsaysay Award. He claims that he donated all his award money to a Trust. But the fact speaks otherwise. He  created a trust  with a donation of Rs. 1000/- on 20th December 2006. Here are the facts:

On 19th December,2006, Kejariwal  formed a trust, Public Cause Research Foundation(PCRF) with  Rs.1000/- from Magsaysay award vide Cheque No. 36110 dated 20 Dec. 2006 , with himself as  main Trustee, Manish Sisodia and  Abhinanadan Sekhari.

But, PCRF was not doing much work. And it was under the aegis  of Kabir that all activities were being carried out. A NY University  mysterious researcher Shimrit Lee visited Kabir and prepared a report, Public Power: India and Other Democracies(2010). She assisted in Kabir's campaign for the Right to Information and Local Self-Rule. Nowadays,  she is actively working in Egypt. Ms. Shimrit lee is mysterious . Ms. Lee has been active in Cairo and Haifa, Chad and Israel, India and US... who is she? Visual anthropologist? Human right activist? Fund manager? International strategist? . It was she who  was instrumental in inspiring for public power and idea like mohalla committees. Exactly, who is she needs to be deeply probed and why did US invest so much with AK- money, award , ideas and human resources?

 In a way, foreign organizations were funding him, assisting  him with think tanks and also awarding  him while he was  still  in  the government service.

 Ford Foundation India  Representative  Steven  Solnick  has on record admitted on 31st August,2012    that  Foundation’s last installment to Kabir was in 2010. “Our first grant to the NGO was of $1,72,000 in 2005 ; the second was in 2008 of $1,97,000,” and that Magsaysay award for emergent Leadership was also  funded by them.

(Mysterious Kejariwal connection-Shimrit Lee from US)

A website BeyondHeadlines  filed  RTI to know the details of the foreign  contributors to Kabir and has come up with the startling  answer. Kabir received funds from the Ford Foundation (Rs 86,61,742), PRIA (Rs 2,37,035), Manjunath Shanmugam Trust (Rs 3,70,000), Dutch Embassy (Rs 19,61,968), Association for India’s Development (Rs 15,00,000), India’s Friends Association (Rs 7,86,500), United Nationals Development Programme (Rs12,52,742) while Rs 11,35,857 were collected from individual donations between 2007 to 2010.

Based upon this information, a lawyer Manohar Lal Sharma has filed a PIL in the Delhi High Court  bearing no. W.P.(C) 3412/2012 on 21 May,2012. The High Court  has sought status report within 3 months from the government of India vide their order dated 30.5.2012.

RAJIV SAHAI ENDLAW, J

MAY 30, 2012/

  Kabir was raided by the Union Home Ministry officials for a suspected violation of Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA) on 22nd August,2012 pursuant to the Court Order.

 

 But, more curious is the fact  that  Kabir has been directly funded by the Dutch Embassy. The amount made public is merely the tip of the iceberg. When embassies can come out openly with funding an individual or organization, one can see the confidence and brazenness of the powers which are pushing Kejariwal for their own strategic game in India.

Kejariwal ,Dutch Embassy, HIVOS,PANOS and the CIA game plan

Why is Dutch embassy funding Kejariwal?Who are HIVOS? What is the connection between HIVOS ,Kejariwal and the Ford Foundation?

Recently, the Pioneer reported that Humanistic Institute for Co-Operation with the Developing Countries (HIVOS) has given more than 13 lakh Euros (approximately `9.25 crore) to various NGOs in Gujarat between April 2008 and August 2012. The prominent among them are: DISHA (2,24,000 Euros), GKVP (2,07,000 Euros), SAFAR (1,84,000 Euros), MAHITI (1,04,000 Euros), SWATI (85,000 Euros), and UTHAN (63,000 Euros). HIVOS has also funded various NGOs in Mumbai and Delhi. Mumbai-based Citizens for Justice & Peace (CJP), run by Teesta Setalvad,  and Delhi-based ANHAD, run by Shabnam Hashmi, 4,000 Euros.

This is stupendous feat of award disbursement that the donor turns into the awardee for its own beneficiary. Everything seems to be premeditated and made out to launch “own men” in Indian public sphere. AK became a Ford Foundation- created “important man”.  

HIVOS is also  one of  the highest recipient of Ford Foundation’s grants . Stichting Hivos, Netherlands, is also  a donor who maintains a full-fledged country office in India, receiving $1.2 million or around Rs 5.5 crores. http://www.fordfoundation.org/Grants/Search?searchphrase=kabeer Hivos  is  also one of the co-financing agencies to the Netherlands government, whose embassy funds Kejariwal’s Kabir. Hivos co-funds the Centre for Collective Development (CCD) one of the two Ford Foundation funded NGOs of IIM Bangalore’s dean Trilochan Shastri, who also run ADR(Association of Democratic Reform). Trilochn Shastri has also  been conferred Breton Woods Committee membership. He could not be given Magsaysay Award like Kejariwal was  given, might be  because  of his above 40 age. The Right to Recall is in the agenda of ADR and the ADR held the  IAC movement in southern India. Like Kabir, Shastri’s two NGOs are heavily funded by Ford foundation. 

http://www.fordfoundation.org/grants/grantdetails?grantid=8279

 Hivos also funds Kejariwal’s Parivartana.

http://www.hivos.nl/eng/content/view/full/96/(sector)/10000025/(country)/10000011

Then there is  PSO Association which was  founded in 1985, to facilitate the posting abroad of professionals in the context of development cooperation. The name refers to this main activity: Personnel Cooperation in Developing Countries (Personele Samenwerking in Ontwikkelingslanden). PSO is directly funded by Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affiairs.
PSO which  is an association that consists of sixty Dutch development organisations including Hivos and which receives 27 million Euros annually for its activities from the Netherlands government is a funding partner of PRIA, who in turn is also a  Ford Foundation partner. Another PSO partner - Soliaridad also funds PRIA. , PRIA funds Kejriwal’s  Kabir,  which is a Ford Foundation recipient. Thus, the whole nexus of Dutch NGO, Ford foundation, Dutch government, Kejariwal and recent attempt of creating a Tahrir-like condition in India lies unraveled. Now PSO is winding up after so many complaints from many countries for their intrusive activities.  PSO’s General Assembly  has decided in 2011 to liquidate the Association as of 1st January,2013.

The Dutch development NGO Hivos has collaborated with  International Institute of Social Studies, The Hague , also part of Erasmus University, Rotterdam specialized in “policy-oriented critical social science”;  over the past five years on knowledge related to civic action and civil society building. The collaboration  between an academic institute and a donor NGO is meant to study  the Hivos’ mission  in developing world. Dr Kees Biekart of ISS is coordinating the programme.  Capacity development emanating from ISS addresses social movements . the social movement in Georgia under the caption of Rose Revolution is overseen by a South Asian , Dr Sunil Tankha .

PANOS South Asia is another organization registered in Netherlands with   registration number 27355408. PANOS South Asia  has now 7 offices in south Asia. The Dutch project  gets Ford foundation grants and "media in South Asia" is their  primary area of focus. So, the activities of the FF-Dutch funded organizations and individuals will be highlighted by the complicit journalists  in media.

It must be known that in India, a CBI case was registered against tehelka.com and officials of Home Ministry for unraveling the nexus of CIA activities through Dutch NGOs in the year 2000 itself. The case under the  stringent Official Secrets Act is still under trial while the Indian government let the Dutch NGOs and the FF to have complete control over civil society in the intervening period. The official, Neeraj Kumar, who is credited with bringing the attention of the government towards this nexus and the manner in which Dutch NGOs were funnelling  foreign government money to Indian organization for ulterior motive, was  kept under suspension  for more   then 6 years and hounded by the agencies. The documents reveal that the government of India was convinced way back in 1999 that “with the end of Cold War, the CIA has intensified  using Dutch sources for supporting secessionist and subversive activities in India.  And that there is “ covert strategic alliance between US and Dutch agencies”.

But, how did the government allow Dutch Embassy to fund Arvind Kejariwal directly , reveals chinks within the armor or the penetration of Indian agencies by the CIA. Rabinder Singh(former Joint Secretary in RAW) episode is still fresh in our mind when the US Embassy provided the RAW mole an American passport in an undiplomatic and brazen way.

 Netherlands Dutchy engagement with India

Western powers have made umpteen efforts to not let Asian countries reap the benefit of higher technology. The US had been smart enough to engage in ‘policy of congagement” vis-à-vis emerging powers. They engage with the emerging power like the hub and the spoke and on the other hand engage in policy of off-shore balancing at different level. The emerging powers have to be contained by the second most powerful regional actor. While at the trans-regional level, it maintains a balance of power among various regional powers by excluding itself so that it remain the arbitrator of the global order. The weak NATO states have always been the carrier of the containment strategy in the name of human rights or insufficient democracy and now the  hoax of technology threat. One must remember how it was the Americans and the Dutch who connived to let Khan steal nuclear secrets from URENCO . The Dutch internal agency, BVD and the Americans wanted to help Pakistan to build nuclear weapon as they wanted Pakistan to be a regional balancer against India during Cold war.

The American –Scandinavian-Dutch connection to derail India’s nuclear programme as is happening in the Koodankulam protest and significantly pointed out by the Prime Minister himself, and to help build a nuclear counter weight against India has a long history.  

Earlier also, the  siphoning of fund from the Churches to the militant groups in the North east India surfaced in the year 1999 when the Ministry of Home Affairs held a meeting with various intelligence agencies and different Ministries to ascertain the level of covert support that may be coming to these insurgent organizations through Dutch NGOs. It was observed in the meeting  that  USA may be promoting non-American NGOs to camouflage its own interests. Dutch missionaries were found active in Tripura without having any permission from the Indian government. A Dutch NGO, NCIP(Netherlands Council on Indigenous People) was found providing ample support to various outfits like ULFA, NSCN(IM) on international fora. Since, most Dutch NGOs were found directly funded by their government, so it was possible that the funds that trickle down to the militant outfits have their source in the western government. At 

That time, the IB  tried to scuttle down the government move by claiming that IB did not have any specific  report or indication of Dutch NGOs or individual involved in activities which could be against India’s national interest. One of the close Indian associates of NCIP/NCIV, Ms Maria Mangte who used to frequent across Netherlands, Thailand, North East India and Burma left India and obtained a Dutch passport when the matter of Dutch support to insurgent groups was entrusted to the federal investigative agency.

 With the lethargy taking hold, the programme of external powers to sponsor anti- Indian movements through the church and the NGOs continued unabated. The diffidence of insurgent groups within India grew manifold. When on 17.7.2002, in a reply to the starred question in the Parliament, Late Digvijay Singh,the then Minister of State for external affairs gave a written  reply namingNetherlands as one of  the country where terrorists have based their activities besides Pakistan; all hell let loose.(Lok Sabha Starred Qustion No. 46, 17.7.2002). NSCN(IM), the most formidable insurgent outfit in the North East India  attacked the Indian Minister for targeting Netherlands. The Minister retorted by taking a potshot that when the name of Netherlands was listed, why should it pinch the NSCN(IM). NSCN(IM), in fact, displayed its affiliation openly by turning into mouth piece for Netherlands. There are known reasons for holding Naga Peace talks either in Amsterdam or in Bangkok.

 The US is pursuing a policy to engage with the emerging power like the hub and the spoke and on the other hand  to direct a  policy of off-shore balancing at different level. Just as  the arrangement of spokes in relationship with the hub in a wheel, the US maintains bilateral ties with each international players. When the same wheel is employed in carrying the wagon of global order, it follows the tricycle pattern. The front wheel that carries the whole cart is the leader and can also move alone. The other wheels are arranged in pairs, balancing each other for smooth movement of the cart. The US maintains that whenever the need arises, it can leave the cart stranded and move alone. It is what it did while attacking Iraq in 2002.  The emerging powers have to be contained and balanced  by the second most powerful regional actor. One can see the 

pattern  in the  games that it play vis-à-vis India and Pakistan; Russia and Ukraine; China and India; China and Japan; Turkey and Iran. While at the trans-regional level, it maintains a balance of power among various regional powers by excluding itself so that it remains the arbitrator of the global order. The weak NATO states from Northern Europe like Norway, Sweden, Denmark & Netherlands have always been the carrier of the containment strategy in the name of human rights or insufficient democracy and now the  hoax of threat from technology to ecology.

One must be reminded how it was the Americans and the Dutch who connived to let Khan steal nuclear secrets. Khan was hired by  the Physical dynamic laboratory, FDO, in Amsterdam during early 1970s. FDO, Amsterdam recommended Khan to work in URENCO, site at Almeto in Netherlands from where Khan began pulling nuclear secrets for Pak-N-bomb programme. The Dutch intelligence agency, BVD(Binenlandise Veiligheidsdienst) ran a background check on Khan but neglected to find out that his wife was not Dutch, but a South Afrikaner who carried a British passport.  It is learnt that CIA shielded Khan from arrests in Europe in 1975 & 1986. Khan  was  sentenced in absentia by a proactive Dutch court for four year imprisonment for stealing enrichment technology from Netherlands in 1983. Later, the conviction was turned down on technical ground and  the fact that under the American pressure, the Dutch government did not want to take any action against Khan. When the scandal came to light, there was lot of hue and cry in Europe. But, it was only after the 9/11 when the western nations realized the growing radicalization of Pakistan and the fear of nuclear-armed jihadis gripped them. Fresh investigation was carried out both within nation and at international level on the nuclear trafficking.   AQ Khan was granted immunity from prosecution by Pak government after his televised confession on illicit nuclear dealings in   February,2004.  Soon the AQ Khan  case file was stolen from the Dutch court, and it caused uproar in 2005. Judge Anita Lesser told media that “I find bewildering that people lose files with a political goal, especially if it is on the request of the CIA.”

Almost at same time, a former Dutch premier Dr Ruud Lubbers in an interview to a Dutch radio, VPRO Argos Radio on August 9, 2005, admitted that the Dutch internal agency, BVD and the Americans wanted to help Pakistan to build nuclear weapon as they wanted Pakistan to be a regional balancer against India during Cold war, since India was closely associated with the Soviet union.

The American –Scandinavian-Dutch connection to derail India’s nuclear programme and to help build a nuclear counter weight against India has a long history preceding Koodankulam.

 The BVD spy Frits Hoekstra’s book, In Dienst van de BVD”(INSIDE BVD); written in 2004 disclosed how BVD undertook several operations internationally against China and communist movement. This book exposes the level of complicity of Dutch with American agencies to create disruption in third  world. Leaked cables from the US embassies by the wikileaks  last year also disclose the role of the Dutch organizations(particularly, SNV based in Hague and in collaboration  with US for last forty years) in the then instability in Nepal on behest of the then Dutch Ambassador in India, Peter Koch. http://wikileaks.org/cable/2002/10/02KATHMANDU2045.html

The BVD is a unique intelligence agency since though it is the internal intelligence agency, it undertook oversea operation on behest of the CIA . The Dutch external agency, IDB was officially disbanded in 1994 and the BVD became further strengthened with formal and technical strengthening after the end of the Cold War through the  WIV Act, 1992.

Since, the Dutch lid was taken off in India in 2000 when the Dutch  role in aiding and abetting  inimical forces within India was exposed by a website, tehelka.com, the baton passed to other neighboring Scandinavian countries like Sweden,Norway and Denmark for strategic deterrence and the Dutch focused on massive Georgia or Egypt –kind of conditions in India. This is meant to derail India’s peaceful rise. CIA in its assessment for 2025 has put India and China as the US competitor. For the US agencies, peaceful rise of both Asian giants has to be subverted at every cost.

Interestingly, the Indian government filed cases against the website under stringent law of Officials Secrets Act upon the request of the then Dutch Ambassador, Peter Koch. Neeraj Kumar, the young officials from the Home Ministry , who exposed the CIA-Dutch nexus and their activities, continue to face prosecution and vendetta.

Emboldened by the silencing of the voices, the Dutch , though stopped the funneling of money, turned into conduit for autonomy and anti-state ideas while  NGOs and organizations from other Scandinavian countries involved more extensively with the funding of missionaries and Indian NGOs ready to toe their line which in turn stir up anti-Indian sentiments and agitations particularly in the territorial margins,  in North, East and southern India .

 William Van Schengel,  a Dutch  Professor of AmsterdamUniversity floated the idea of Zomia to describe the people of the adjoining hill-region in North-east India, China and Myanmar, Bangladesh Thailand in 2002.

The concept of  Zomia  is derived from zomi, a term for highlander among Chin-Mizo-Kuki languages spoken in Burma,India and Bangladesh. Very soon, it has  become a geopolitical tool  The idea of ‘zomia’ is circulating and being discussed after publication of prize-winning book by James C. Scott, “The Art of not being Governed:An Anarchist History of upland Southeast Asia(Yale University Press,2009). Scott is Sterling Professor of Political Science and Anthropology at Yale University. With the rise of India and China as the great Asian powers in this Asian century, the western think-tanks as well as strategists are worried and fabricating every possibility to weaken these core states of Asia. Since, by promoting Zomia as the stateless, ungoverned, romantic geographical as well as historical space, a powerful movement can be unleashed creating a shatter-belt across Eurasia that can make both India and China to engage against frontier-enemies with perceived trans-border support. This can derail any approaching accommodation between two Asian giants India  and China and  China-ASEAN nations.

Recently, two Dutch scholars visited Manipur under the aegis of the International Institute of Social History, Amsterdam, Netherlands to fuel the Zomia narrative. Prof. Willem Van Schendel who coined the term, ‘zomia’in 2002  asked the local historians to preserve contemporary history. The same was echoed by IISH Representative, Kathinka Sinha Kerkhoff. The IISH Representative had caused an uproar while organizing an International Conference on “Bihar in the world, the world in Bihar”(16-19 Dec.1997)  with the objective  that “when nation-state is disintegrating(India)”, it was imperative to establish Bihar in the global world. The programme was heavily funded by the European Science Foundation. The same historian worked on post-partition migrants in Bangladesh and India . The intentions to widen cleavages as a design to fuel discontent among migrants inSouth Asia is becoming apparent. Netherlands-based Chittagong Hill Tracts Commission  looked after the migrant aspect in Bangladesh. Now a new organization, Global Human Rights Defence(GHRD) under chairmanship of Sraddhanand Sital has been created in  Hague, Netherlands to protect minorities 

Soon after the visit of these two  Dutch thinkers on deconstructing India’s territoriality,a symposium titled "11 Year Hunger Strike: Irony In The World’s Largest Democracy" was held on the 21st of February, 2012, at the John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University, USA. The event was jointly organized by The Carr Center For Human Rights Policy atHarvard University, the Harvard India Caucus, and the Kashmir Initiative at the Carr Center. It is generally Kashmir issue which was being raked up in the academic centers of strategy within the US. It was for the first time that Manipur issue saw such a response.  Few days , before this event, the New York Times published an op-ed piece titled, “The Undiscovered Country” on 15 Feb 2012 by Frank Jacobs.http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/02/14/the-undiscovered-country/

The author  gave a thumbs up to Schendel for proposing Zomia,  as a transnational area that is marginal to all the states that nominally control it.  He further writes, few things unite Zomia , except its diversity — religious, ethnic, cultural, linguistic — born of Zomia’s geographical character, dominated by the inaccessible Himalayan highlands and Tibetan plateau. Zomia is a sanctuary, a refuge for isolated, unassimilated communities.

To give a shape to the concept of Zomia, another Dutch NGO  Kreddha launched a program in 2005 to undertake systematic research with the aim to have available practical and current information on a growing number of autonomy and self-government arrangements in different parts of the world. Kreddha’s research and analysis department laid the foundations for the task and started researching autonomies in the Asia-Pacific region. Kreddha claims that their information is available to parties, facilitators and practitioners involved in other intrastate peace processes. Thus, Kreddha’s aim and objective have been to deepen autonomy and self-government arrangements, in particularly Zomia as evident from their further activities. Its executive President Michael van walt van Praag, a Dutch citizen sought a formal role in the Naga peace talk in March,2007. Armed with the Dutch machinations in past, the Government of India tersely refused the   demand. But, the recent moves suggest that there is  more to come in coming days.

 The Dutch have diversified their anti-India activities from North east to south India, Gujarat to Bihar and also created an alliance of NGOs toeing the American agenda and disrupting the centre from the metropolitan cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Pune.

       Is Ford Foundation, CIA’s conduit in Developing world?

The Ford Foundation was created in 1936 . Henry Ford, himself was anti-Semite who admired Adolph Hitler and helped finance his rise to power.

The CIA-Ford Foundation collaboration began in 1953, when John McCloy, became  the Director of the Ford Foundation. McCloy’s earlier  served  as chairman of Chase Manhattan Bank, Westinghouse, AT&T, Allied Chemical and United Fruit Company. Thus, Ford Foundation’s complicity with corporate cartel is manifest from very belonging publicly advocated for the Ford Foundation to cooperate with the CIA. McCloy also chaired a three man committee that had to be consulted every time the CIA wanted to use the Foundation as a pass-through.

Ford Foundation archives have been studied by scholars that  reveal series of joint Foundation-CIA projects. The most prominent of these CIA fronts are the Eastern European Fund, the Congress for Cultural Freedom, and International Rescue Committee .The Ford Foundation has also been the primary funder of the Council on Foreign Relations that published the influential journal, Foreign Affairs, and the Trilateral Commission.

 I am publishing one of the documents of CIA which shows how CIA loaned officials to Ford foundation. even there was lot of deliberation over officials of CIA who retired from service and their pension has to be fixed while they worked full time in Ford foundation.  the loaning of CIA men and women to ford foundation was meant to be mutually beneficial to both parties as per this communication at the highest level. 

 Petras summed up how the ties between the top officials of the FF and the U.S. government are explicit and continuing and that the Ford Foundation has never funded any major project that contravenes U.S. policy. He succinctly summarizes :

   “Current period of a major U.S. military-political offensive, Washington has posed the issue as "terrorism or democracy," just as during the Cold War it posed the question as "Communism or Democracy." In both instances the Empire recruited and funded "front organizations, intellectuals and journalists to attack its anti-imperialist adversaries and neutralize its democratic critics. The Ford Foundation is well situated to replay its role as collaborator to cover for the New Cultural Cold War.”

Frances Stonor Saunders,  in his book Who Paid the Piper? The CIA and the Cultural Cold War, Granta Books, 1999)  Saunders reveal that  “from the early 1950s to the present the CIA's intrusion into the foundation field was and is huge. A U.S. Congressional investigation in 1976 revealed that nearly 50% of the 700 grants in the field of international activities by the principal foundations were funded by the CIA” ( pp. 134-135). The CIA considers foundations such as Ford "The best and most plausible kind of funding cover" (Ibid, p. 135). The collaboration of respectable and prestigious foundations, according to one former CIA operative, allowed the Agency to fund "a seemingly limitless range of covert action programs affecting youth groups, labor unions, universities, publishing houses and other private institutions" (p. 135).

http://monthlyreview.org/1999/11/01/the-cia-and-the-cultural-cold-war-revisited#.UIOHyW8p-bs. Such is the authenticity of this book that the CIA itself has published a detailed positive review of this book on their homepage: https://www.cia.gov/library/center-for-the-study-of-intelligence/csi-publications/csi-studies/studies/vol46no1/article08.html

 The Ford Foundation’s  New Delhi office, "was the Foundation’s first program outside the United States, and the New Delhi office remains the largest of its field office  operations". Delhi office also covers  Nepal and Sri Lanka. James Petras Professor (Emeritus) of Sociology  at Binghamton University, New York and a world-renowned author on globalization and US hegemony  wrote a masterly piece in Dece,ber, 2001, “ the Ford foundation and the CIA: A documented case of philanthropic collaboration with the Secret Police”(15 December,2001) detailing the modus operandi.

http://www.ratical.org/ratville/CAH/FordFandCIA.html

Herein is a declassified document from CIA that exposes how Ford Foundation in Delhi  worked for CIA  for an eye on Asia and their mutual meeting ground even at that time was Hague in the Netherlands.

                                       Ford Funding in India-2007-2010

    It is interesting to draw the whole network of IAC partner NGOs. CSDS, Centre for Developing Societies have  come out in full support of AK. CSDS itself is a large recipient of both Ford foundation fund as well as Dutch scholarship under the aegis of IDPAD(Indo-Dutch Programme on Alternative Development). Individual scholars receive IDPAD scholarships while the institution receives the Ford grant.  Some of the visible public faces from CSDS who lend their support to Kejariwal are Yogendra Yadav, Abhay Kumar Dubey. There is Professor Anand Kumar from JNU, again a Ford Fellow(1985-86) as the new mouthpiece of AK. It has been revealed by  Tata Social welfare Trust(TSWT) that "it had received recommendation from Infosys co-founder NR Narayana Murthy for assisting Kejriwal to raise awareness about the Right to Information Act (RTI) in October 2008, adding it "agreed to release Rs. 25 lakh per year from 2009, for a period of 5 years, to help the foundation institute the (National RTI) awards".http://www.hindustantimes.com/India-news/NewDelhi/No-money-given-to-Kejriwal-for-political-activities-Tata-Trust/Article1-955273.aspx

NR Narayana Murthy is one of the Trustee of the Board of Ford Foundation.

http://www.fordfoundation.org/about-us/leadership

.It is also well known that Murthy savors dream of becoming President of India and many mouthpieces did pit his name this time too.No surprise, Infosys man V.  Balakrishnana has joined AAP now and another Infosys man, Nandan Nilekani who heads the UIDAI programme is suspected to have compromised the phone data of Delhi electorate gathered during unconstitutional  and non-statutory exercise of making Aadhar card, for benefiting the AAP campaign in Delhi.   

Former Admiral L. Ramdas (1990-1993) was awarded the Ramon Magsaysay Award for Peace and International Understanding 2004 for "reaching across a hostile border to nurture a citizen-based consensus for peace between Pakistan and India".. Now he is chairing organization of Indo-Pak relationships, Pakistan-India Peoples' Forum for Peace & Democracy. He also leads the bandwagon of those who opposes India's nuclear programme. On 16 November  Arvind Kejriwal filed his nomination from the New Delhi Assembly constituency accompanied by his father Gobind Ram Kejriwal, mother Gita Devi and former Naval chief Admiral L.  Ramdas. Again, while seeking people's truped up suppott for forming the government, Kejariwal  was accompanied by Admiral Ramdas. Current Representative of Ford Foundation, Delhi office is Kavita N. Ramdas. She is the eldest daughter of Admiral L. Ramdas, also a Magsaysay awardee like Kejariwal. Kavita Ramdas is married to Mr. Zulfiqar Ahmad from Pakistan who worked as South Asia program officer for Berkeley's Nautilus Institute. No surprise if AAP leaders have started talking of referendum and plebiscite in Jammu & Kashmir. The hands are soaked in dollar and criminality.AAP formation has been made directly under the patronage of ford Foundation through Ramdasses-. 

 How active FF has been in South Asia in recent years can be gleaned from the fact that Dr Gowher Rizvi , the former representative  of Ford Foundation's Delhi office  is now the Adviser of Bangladesh's Prime Minister on international affairs.This is how Ford Foundation is directly monitoring South Asian politics on behest of  the Big Butcher of Korea, Vietnam, Iraq.

Thus, PRIA-ADR-Kabir-India Vision Foundation- Anahad…ad infinitum are like intricate web weaved by the FF-Dutch warp and woof  to create a situation that India’s peaceful rise is disturbed. They might be intending that with the popular protests fizzling out over the issue of corruption; anti-imperial, anti-American protests would fail to garner steam at a time when the US has launched return to Asia strategy in the year 2010.

 Arvind Kejariwal is a small cog in this gigantic American intricate  machine that has started rolling again in Asia to reassert imperial control through machinations. Kejariwal must be made to respond and come out clean as to his financiers-overt as well as covert- and their game plan.AK was propped up at a time when the issue of black money stashed away abroad was gaining upper edge in public discourse.It is through the Offshore financial centres that the globalization of finance operates and the hegemony of the US and its lackeys is perpetuated. By effectively  downsizing  BJP and Ramdev's campaign to bring back Indian money from OFCs, AK won accolades in the US administration. Moreover the US wants to stop Modi's rise since the equations have not been good with Modi. On the other hand, Modi has been held in high esteem in China and China has welcomed Modi  four  times and listened to him at the highest level. Modi has advised China to  decouple from Pakistan to have a working relationship with India.If Modi comes to power, India and China will develop good neigbourly relationship and the US plan since 2009 to build Asian NATO with India as the linchpin of Asian Pivot, will crumble. US hegemony is Asia will end. For, US to remain a hegemon,  rise of Modi to power has to be stopped. This is ow all Ford Funded persons and ford-connected Infosys persons have suddenly become active to give credence to AAP as a new party that can fan across those states in India where Congress and BJP are in direct fight like Goa, M.P. Gujarat, Rajasthan so that the tripolar contest can cut some of the BJP seats and even though NDA comes to power, the allies effectively cut down chance of Modi from becoming the leader of the country.   

UPA government is giving AK a free ride with expectation that in the next election, he and his network of US-Dutch funded Indian NGOs may tilt discourse of anti-incumbency.  Their mission is to make the BJP , an opposition party get  painted with the same brush as the Congress and the UPA. If the new party of AK could slice even 4-5 % of anti-incumbency vote, the swing from Congress to BJP can be thwarted and that might allow the Congress to retain power in some new permutation and combination.During 2009 Lok Sabha elections, Congress received 28.7% vote while BJP received 18.82%. The Congress had gained only 0.5% more than its vote in the year 1999, but it gained 91 more  Lok Sabha seats in comparison with 1999. Even if the AK and his team duly funded  with foreign money and supported by the Congress-led government and the agencies, receive 5% vote in the urban centres, it can affect the BJP's winnability which has support base  more  in urban centres. Political and electoral analysts like Yogendar Yadav would plan such a fortune for the Congress. Kejariwal himself is a scam and he needs to be packed up. Its the end of manufactured drama. Adieu, AK!
