Sam Pitroda and his NGO: How Rahul Gandhi’s overseas chairman is working with the US govt and Rockefeller Foundation. Deep State running Congress?

With Rahul Gandhi's closest aide, who is organizing his foreign trips where Rahul Gandhi asks for foreign interference in India, being in close association with the US Deep State, as evidenced by this article, one has to ask if Congress is now officially functioning as an asset of the US Deep State.

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has been making insidious speeches, especially abroad, for a long time. Rahul Gandhi has been specifically malicious when it comes to his speeches and talks in the United States of America (USA).

In 2023, about a year before the General Elections of 2024, Rahul Gandhi was on a tour of the USA for 10 days. During his trip, On the 1st of June 2023, Rahul Gandhi was in conversation at the National Press Club in Washington. During that conversation, he lied about pretty much everything. From the CAA to Delhi anti-Hindu riots that followed the violence. Incidentally, it was his mother – Sonia Gandhi – who had given a call for ‘aar ya paar ki ladai’ weeks before the carnage. It was during the same trip that Rahul Gandhi had called IUML – a Muslim party responsible for genocides and carnage against Hindus – a ‘secular’ party. On the very same trip, he had also participated in a meeting at the Hudson Institute. The meeting was of ‘Think Tanks’ discussing the future of USA-India relations. Sunita Vishwanath, who was seated next to Rahul Gandhi, is the co-founder of a US-based organization called “Hindus for Human Rights” which has spread lies and propaganda mainly against Hindus, allied with Islamists, and has ties to George Soros. OpIndia has done a detailed investigation, which can be read here.

This is, however, not all he did. Intriguingly, a report claimed that Rahul Gandhi had made an unofficial trip to the White House during his 10-day trip to the USA. An article in the Economic Times written by one Seema Sirohi claimed that Rahul Gandhi during his visit made a trip to the White House, which both parties involved – the Biden administration and Rahul Gandhi (Congress) – chose to keep under the wraps. For an opposition leader to visit the White House in ‘secret’, without disclosing it to the government of India and the MEA, is a serious breach of protocol and could potentially undermine India’s interests. 

For an opposition leader to visit the White House in ‘secret’, without disclosing it to the government of India and the MEA, is a serious breach of protocol and could potentially undermine India’s interests. Soon, there were widespread speculations about a ‘regime change operation’ that Rahul Gandhi and the Biden Administration may have been involved in. This would not be shocking for anyone, given that in his previous US visits, he had, quite literally, called for the US to get involved in India’s internal matter and essentially help in effecting a regime change.

The speculation of Rahul Gandhi collaborating with the US for a regime change operation resurfaced after his mysterious visit to Uzbekistan in 2023. In an OpIndia article, geopolitics analyst Semu Bhatt wrote about Samantha Power, the Administrator of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), being there at the same time.

Semu wrote, “In late November 2008, as the Obama administration took shape, Power was in the State Department transition team. She was appointed the Special Assistant to the President and Senior Director for Multilateral Affairs and Human Rights on the National Security Council, serving from January 2009 to February 2013. She spearheaded the creation of a White House task force called the Atrocities Prevention Board – an interagency body to focus on emerging human rights crises before they escalated to the level of genocide. She was its inaugural chairperson. Power’s long-standing association with Obama underscores her involvement in shaping the US foreign policy of the Obama era. She is considered a key figure in persuading President Obama to militarily intervene in Libya; something that Obama considers as the worst decision of his Presidency. Thanks to her unwavering belief in the United States’ responsibility to prevent or alleviate the suffering of civilians in foreign nations, she earned nicknames such as the Ivy League Joan of Arc and Activist-in-Chief”.

Interestingly, In January 2021, Joe Biden nominated Power to head the USAID. Power has worked closely with George Soros and Henry Kissinger. Semu Bhatt speculated that given Power’s rhetoric about India mirrors that of Rahul Gandhi, the coincident of the Uzbekistan trip was a bit too much to ignore. She had also speculated that this could be a part of the larger regime change operation.

Her article put the focus on USAID, the Democrats, and of course, George Soros.

Turns out – the Uzbekistan trip is not the only connection to USAID.

IOC Chairman Sam Pitroda and his NGO

It is no secret that Sam Pitroda has been one of the closest aides of the Gandhi family for several decades. Currently, he serves as the Chairman of the Indian Overseas Congress. Most of the speaking engagements of Rahul Gandhi, where he regularly calls for foreign intervention, have been organized by Sam Pitroda. Pitroda was, many moons ago, a naturalized American citizen. He had, apparently, come back to India and denounced his US citizenship at the insistence of Indira Gandhi.

In October 2009, Pitroda was appointed as advisor to Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Public Information Infrastructure and Innovations with the rank of Cabinet Minister. Since then, he has been back and forth between Chicago and India.

In October 2009, while Sam Pitroda was appointed as the advisor to the then Prime Minister of India, he was busy on another initiative – he was founding his own NGO in the USA – the Global Knowledge Initiative.

The official website of Global Knowledge Initiative (GKI) says, “In 2009 three people sat down together to ask a question as relevant today as it was then. How might we build new platforms that unite and magnify people’s abilities to solve the challenges that are most meaningful to them, and in the process upend the old models of the social sector to offer something more collaborative, more open, and more innovative?”

Who are the co-founders of Global Knowledge Initiative – Nina V. Fedoroff  and Sara Farley

There are two other co-founders of GKI: Nina V. Fedoroff and Sara Farley. Both Federoff and Farley have interesting antecedents. According to the IRS 990 form, both Nina and Sara are still board members of Sam Pitroda’s NGO – GKI.

Nina V. Fedoroff

Nina V. Fedoroff is the former Science and Technology Adviser to the Secretary of State, the US. A molecular biologist, Nina Federoff was born in Ohio and completed her PhD from in 1972 from Rockefeller University. The Rockefeller University was founded in June 1901 as The Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research—often called simply The Rockefeller Institute—by John D. Rockefeller of the infamous Rockefeller family.

In 2001, President Bill Clinton appointed Fedoroff to the National Science Board, which oversees the National Science Foundation which administers the science awards. Fedoroff was the Science and Technology Adviser to U.S. Secretaries of State, Condoleezza Rice and Hillary Clinton.

In 2007, President George W. Bush awarded her the National Medal of Science in the field of Biological Sciences, the highest award for lifetime achievement in scientific research in the United States. Fedoroff was President of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) from 2011 to 2012.

From 2007 to 2010, Nina was the advisor to the then administrator Rajiv Shah for the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). He also served in a range of leadership roles including Director of Agricultural Development, Director of Strategic Opportunities, Deputy Director of Policy and Finance, and Chief Economist at the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

Who is Rajiv Shah? He is the President of the Rockefeller Foundation and was the sixteenth administrator of USAID from 2010 to 2015 under the Obama Administration.

Interestingly, Rajiv Shah received the Pravasi Bharatiya Samman Award, the highest official honor for non-resident Indians, awarded by the President of India in 2011 – under the Congress government – when he was the administrator of USAID.

In India, her involvement has been lobbying for Genetically Modified Crops. During Nina’s stint with Hillary Clinton, she was intimately involved with lobbying for US Agri-Business interests in India. There were several visits attempting to sell the Bt Brinjal cultivation in India. It was widely reported at the time that Nina, a strong lobbyist for genetically modified crops was essentially lobbying on behalf of Monsanto – a company that has been regarded as predatory and monstrous.

In July 2005 – under the Congress government – a US-India Knowledge Initiative on Agriculture was set up. It was reported at the time that “Prime Minister Manmohan Singh provided the US-based agri-giants with a readymade vehicle for lobbying with Indian policy-makers during his first term in 2006 when he approved the Indo-US Knowledge Initiative on Agriculture. It was announced with much fanfare during his visit to the USA and evoked a storm of protest at home, mainly from the Left parties and farmers’ bodies. The AKI, as it is known, boasts MNCs (Monsanto, Walmart, Archer Daniels Midland) as official US representatives on its panel. They have set the agenda for the AKI, with the development of transgenic strains of rice and wheat forming a major part of the initiative”.

In 2009, Hillary Clinton visited India to lobby for Bt Brinjal. Along with her, was Nina, who “is a strong votary of genetically modified crops, to the extent of being regarded as a spokesperson for US seed multinationals like Monsanto, Dow and DuPont”.

Clinton at the time “said she favoured a strong intellectual property or patent regime (IPR) to safeguard the ownership of agricultural research, as that would be in ‘everyone’s interest’. A contention rejected by Indian agri-policy analysts who say it would primarily benefit owners of biotechnology research — the MNCs who produce ‘Bt’ seeds, as genetically modified or GM crops have come to be popularly known (patents would ensure that no one else would be allowed to produce or sell these seeds)”.

In 2011, a Wikileaks Cable was released that showed how India had become a battleground between US lobbying and European lobbying for and against GMOs respectively.

The Wikileaks Cable said, “Science and Technology Advisor Dr. Nina Fedoroff met with Montek Ahluwalia, Deputy Chairman of the Planning Commission, immediately prior to Minister Ramesh’s announcement on February 9. Referring to Minister Ramesh’s town hall meetings, Ahluwalia said that a democracy like India needed to hold consultations with the public on such an important issue, but he was concerned that the debate had been rather one-sided. He noted that many of the non-government organizations (NGOs) in India protesting Bt brinjal were in fact closely associated with and funded by European NGOs. He also remarked on the absence of any scientific voices in the “public debate.” Ahluwalia indicated that Minister Ramesh, among other GOI officials, had failed to make the “elementary arguments” about why GM products are safe, and commented that it was not clear if Indian opposition resulted more from process issues and paperwork delays or ideological feelings. Ahluwalia added that he considered the town hall meetings to be okay as a process, but in the end, he felt it would be a major setback if Minister Ramesh were to allow what was essentially a one-sided debate to cause a decision against commercialization of Bt brinjal”.

In 2010, Jairam Ramesh had put an indefinite stop to the commercial sale of Bt Brinjal – for which Nina was lobbying. He had set certain prerequisites for the review of this order and in January 2014, he had expressed disappointment with his own govt for not setting up a regulatory body.

The cable says, “Ahluwalia considered the town hall meetings to be okay as a process, but in the end, he felt it would be a major setback if minister Ramesh were to allow what was essentially a one-sided debate to cause a decision against the commercialization of Bt brinjal”.

It is pertinent to note that earlier cables released by Wikileaks had shown that the US government was acting on behalf of the Monsanto company – the world’s leading producer of GM seeds, in targeting the European Union for its stand on GM crops. It is important to remember that Nina Fedoroff was a part of the US government at that time. In one cable released at the time, it was revealed that the US government had been advised by officials to start a military-style trade war against European countries that opposed the cultivation of GM Crops. Nine was at the heart of the battle.

Monsanto, which had essentially been facilitated by the Congress govt received a blow under the Modi govt. While the GM crop battle is the subject of another article, it suffices to say here that Prime Minister Modi took on Monsanto and was vilified by US media for it.

Throughout this entire battle, Sam Pitroda was working closely with Nina Fedoroff as co-founder of his NGO.

Sara Farley

Sara Farley – the third co-founder of Sam Pitroda’s NGO, is the Vice President, of Food Initiative, at The Rockefeller Foundation.

The website of Sam Pitroda’s NGO says, “As Vice President Sara leads the global portfolio and spearheads integrated operations for The Rockefeller Foundation’s food team, leading such signature initiatives as the Food Systems Vision Prize and the Rockefeller Foundation-Acumen Food Systems Fellowship. In this capacity, she is driving the Foundation’s inaugural regenerative food systems strategy, leading the diet quality portfolio, and expanding the good food purchasing portfolio and true cost accounting work globally with the aim of shifting the diet quality of 500 million underserved people by 2030”.

From her profile at the Rockefeller Foundation, it is clear that she joined the Rockefeller Foundation after she co-founded GKI – while she was working with Sam Pitroda.

It is, therefore, apparent that both Sara Farley and Nina Fedoroff are deeply entrenched with the US government (USAID specifically) and the Rockefeller Foundation.

Who funds Global Knowledge Initiative – the Sam Pitroda NGO

The website of GKI broadly lists the organizations they term “supporters”. In NGO parlance, “Supporters” listed with the NGO are the major donors of the NGO and those who sponsor the NGO and its work almost in totality.

According to the GKI website, Sam Pitroda’s NGO is funded by USAID, The Rockefeller Foundation, the US Department of State, and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation – among others.

USAID, the US State Department, its funding, and its shenanigans in India

The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) is the principal U.S. agency. According to the USAID website, “The President’s Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 Budget Request for the State Department and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) is $63.1 billion for foreign assistance and diplomatic engagement, which includes $32 billion in foreign assistance for USAID fully- and partially-managed accounts, $3 billion (10 percent) above the FY 2023 Adjusted Enacted level… The FY 2024 President’s Budget also requests both mandatory and discretionary resources to out-compete China, strengthen the U.S. role in the Indo-Pacific, and advance American prosperity globally through new investments to respond to these unprecedented and extraordinary times”.

The main objective of USAID is clearly, to further US interests abroad and regime change has been one of the interests of the US.

The USAID website says about their mission, “On behalf of the American people, we promote and demonstrate democratic values abroad, and advance a free, peaceful, and prosperous world. In support of America’s foreign policy, the U.S. Agency for International Development leads the U.S. Government’s international development and disaster assistance through partnerships and investments that save lives, reduce poverty, strengthen democratic governance, and help people emerge from humanitarian crises and progress beyond assistance”.

One knows what it truly means when a US agency says that they want to promote “democracy” in foreign countries. In fact, on its website, USAID also says, “We aspire to lead international and US Government efforts to advance the economic, political, social, and environmental well-being of the world’s most vulnerable people”.

At the top of the food chain, is the administrator of USAID. The current administrator is – Samatha Power. The same Samantha Power who was in Uzbekistan at the same time as Rahul Gandhi in 2023.

The Global Knowledge Initiative – the NGO of Sam Pitroda which is funded by USAID – does a lot of work for the US agency. For example, on the GKI website, there is a White Paper uploaded from the year 2010 that talks about how science and technology can be used by USAID to ‘bring development’ and ‘prosperity’ to the developing world.

As recently as June 2024, the Global Knowledge Initiative (GKI) was working on USAID-funded projects.

The Global Knowledge Initiative (GKI) is redesigning the YouthPower Learning Network to enhance effectiveness. The website linked in the GKI article about the partnership leads us to the Youth Power 2 webpage. The webpage itself says that it is a USAID-funded project.

One of the programs of Youth Power 2 – APS – for example – clearly says that it is a program available for USAID’s missions, independent officers, etc to use for youth programming which engages youth organizations. It is meant to provide “flexibility” to USAID to collaborate with youths from different countries.

According to the USAID, one of the key stakeholders with which they can partner are “faith-based organizations” as well.

It would appear that GKI undertakes several programs in official collaboration with the USAID – like this one in Bangladesh as well.

Along with USAID, one of the prime sponsors of the GKI – the NGO of Sam Pitroda – is the US State Department.

The mission of the US State Department is “To protect and promote U.S. security, prosperity, and democratic values and shape an international environment in which all Americans can thrive”.

The US State Department is led by the Secretary of State, who is appointed by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate, and is the President’s chief foreign affairs adviser. The Secretary carries out the President’s foreign policies through the State Department, which includes the Foreign Service, Civil Service, and U.S. Agency for International Development.

USAID and the US State Department are both agencies that are funded directly by the US government and are meant to fulfill USA’s foreign policy agendas.

William Blum has said that in the 1960s and early 1970s, USAID has maintained “a close working relationship with the CIA, and Agency officers often operated abroad under USAID cover.” The 1960s-era Office of Public Safety, a now-disbanded division of USAID, has been mentioned as an example of this, having served as a front for training foreign police in counterinsurgency methods (including torture techniques)

In 2023, an American lawmaker alleged that a US-based NGO in Pakistan has links with designated terrorist organizations. This NGO has been receiving financial aid from US Agency for International Development (USAID). In a letter dated January 24 2023 to USAID administrator Samantha Power, Congressman Michael McCaul, Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee requested suspension of the USAID funding to the NGO pending a full and in-depth review of these accusations.

Reportedly, the in question nonprofit organization, Helping Hand for Relief and Development (HHRD), which is based in Michigan, is affiliated with Jamaat-e-Islami, an Islamist terrorist organization that operates in South Asia. USAID granted HHRD a grant of $110,000 in October 2021 to cover the costs of shipping associated with its humanitarian relief work.

“This award was made despite longstanding, detailed allegations that HHRD is connected to designated terrorist organizations, terror financiers, and extremist groups,” McCaul’s letter read.

Falah-e-Insaniat Foundation (FIF), the charitable arm of Lashkar-e-Taiba, the terrorist organization responsible for the 2008 Mumbai attacks, is one of the sponsors of HHRD events in Pakistan.

It is pertinent to note that FIF has been designated as a terrorist organization by the United States in 2016.

Concerns about the HHRD’s relationship with Al-Khidmat, Jamaat-e-Islami’s official charitable organization, were also expressed in McCaul’s letter.

The US State Department, on the other hand, has been active in interfering in India’s internal affairs after Prime Minister Modi came to power in 2014. Recently, we have seen the regular Q&A drama between a Pakistani journalist and the US State Department spokesperson where the Pakistani journalists asks scripted questions, giving the spokesperson a chance to meddle in India’s internal affairs.

The US State Department’s Human Rights Report released in 2024 extended support to Khalistanis like Nijjar and Islamists like Umar Khalid. Umar Khalid had orchestrated the Delhi anti-Hindu riots 2020 in Delhi – which claimed the lives of several Hindus. He is lodged in jail under UAPA with the courts of India denying him bail after they found prima facie involvement in the conspiracy. In 2023 as well, the US State Department released a report that essentially targeted India and Hindus based on data provided by Christian evangelist organizations and Islamist organizations. In another report, the US State Department claimed that under the leadership of PM Modi, hate speech in India has increased. The findings come a few weeks after Prime Minister Narendra Modi began his third term in office and India and the United States agreed to strengthen cooperation in high technology areas during a visit by White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan to New Delhi. “In India, we see a concerning increase in anti-conversion laws, hate speech, demolitions of homes and places of worship for members of minority faith communities,” US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken told reporters at an event in Washington.

The US State Department has also targeted India over CAA and the laws against forceful religious conversions which deeply impact Hindu women.

The US State Department, continuing its meddling in India’s internal affairs, started a drive to recruit ‘fact-checkers’.

The Public Diplomacy Section (PDS) of the US State Department has set aside a whopping $2,00,000 (~₹1.67 crores) to recruit fact-checkers in India as part of its ‘Empowering Media Savvy Youth.’

Through this project, the Executive Department of the US federal government claims to confront ‘online manipulation’, combat ‘external influences’, secure digital landscape and reinforce regional security.

The US State Department is implementing the project starting 1st September this year in 5 cities of India – Kolkata, Hyderabad, Chennai, Mumbai and Delhi.

In India, where social media usage is widespread among the youth population, recent research by Indian, European, and American think tanks has highlighted how manipulative content is amplifying societal polarization and erodes institutional trust. This consequently strains U.S.-India bilateral relations, threatening collaborative efforts and diplomatic ties,” the US State Department made its agenda crystal clear.

OpIndia found that through its ‘Empowering Media Savvy Youth’ project, the US State Department is eyeing to train 160 L2D graduates as Youth Master Trainers (YMTs), making them conduct 320 sessions and impacting 32000 individuals.

To add to it, about 60 of the 32K individuals would be further trained to become ‘social media influencers’ to impact another 36000 people.

Another crystal clear objective of the project is to brainwash young and impressionable minds. “By targeting these segments, the project endeavours to actively combat misinformation and shape narratives effectively to address the root causes of disinformation,” the US State Department emphasised. The grant of $1,50,000- $2,00,000 will be given to one eligible organisation in India for the duration of 12-18 months. 

The full report on this propaganda initiative of the US State Department can be read here.

It must be mentioned that US Embassies and Consulates in the country are already running projects and training programs such as ‘Learning to Discern (L2D)’ in the name of combating ‘misinformation.’

The Leaning To Discern (L2D) initiative is funded by the same entities that fund the Global Knowledge Initiative NGO of Sam Pitroda – USAID and the US State Department. The L2D initiative is also funded by George Soros and Ford Foundation.

The Rockefeller Foundation – another main sponsor of Sam Pitroda NGO

The Rockefeller Foundation is everywhere – we know that. We now also know that it funds the NGO of Sam Pitroda and given that both the co-founders have close ties with the Rockefeller Foundation it is only reasonable to conclude that Sam Pitroda does as well.

It is important to first understand the background and genesis of the Rockefeller Foundation.

In the early 20th century, the United States legalized endowed foundations. They were the new lifeguards of Imperialism, or call it Capitalism, under threat from Communism. Among the first to be set up was the Carnegie Corporation, endowed in 1911 by profits from the Carnegie Steel Company. The Rockefeller Foundation was endowed in 1914 by JD Rockefeller, founder of Standard Oil Company.

Rockefeller Foundation was the early patron that gave seed money to the United Nations, Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), and the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). These Foundations had massive resources, all tax-free, with an unrestrained brief:  to turn economic muscle into political, cultural and social capital. Massive funds were not there to raise the wages of its workers. It was to turn money into power—to run the world. (So we have Bill Gates controlling health, education and agricultural policies all over the world from the seemingly dull occupation of selling software).

By the 1920s, the US had begun to swoop on overseas markets and its raw materials. In 1924, the Rockefeller and Carnegie Foundations had created the most powerful foreign policy pressure group—the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), later funded by the Ford Foundation as well. So far CFR has had two dozen US secretaries of state on its roll. No less than 5 CFR members were in the 1943 steering committee that planned the UN. JD Rockefeller bought the land for UN’s New York headquarters at $8.5 million grant.

By the 1950s, the Rockefeller and Ford Foundations were in overdrive in funding NGOs and educational institutions around the world. They were the hidden arm of the US government to topple democratically-elected governments in Latin America, Iran and Indonesia. The Indonesian students, trained in counter-insurgency by the US army, played a critical role in effecting CIA-backed coup in Indonesia in 1965 that brought General Suharto to power. Similarly, eight years later, young Chilean students were trained at the University of Chicago (endowed by JD Rockefeller) to do their bit in the CIA-backed coup that killed Salvador Allende and brought General Pinochet and his reign of murders that lasted 17 years.

The full article on the history of the Rockefeller Foundation and Ford Foundation can be read here – written by columnist Ashish Shukla.

Given that the Rockefeller Foundation is essentially an arm of the US deep state to fulfill its political interests in foreign countries and a regime change organization, as is the USAID, it is interesting that both these organizations fund the NGO of Sam Pitroda, who in turn is extremely close to Rahul Gandhi, who then goes abroad and asks the US to affect regime change in India – talks organized by Sam Pitroda.

It is pertinent to remember that the Rockefeller Foundation and the Ford Foundation had intimately infiltrated the Nehru government and ever since the 1950s, has been subverting India.

The Sunday Standard investigation had thrown up the following facts, as reported by the New Indian Express in 2015:

  1. The Ford and Rockefeller foundations had penetrated the Indian establishment without any government oversight.
  2. It gave junkets and scholarships to senior government officials in the Nehru administration without clearance from the Indian government.
  3. These officials were directly selected by the Ford and Rockefeller foundations without the knowledge of the government.
  4. B K Nehru, Indira Gandhi’s cousin and the Commissioner General for Economic Affairs of Indian Embassy in Washington, advised against insistence on clearance of the funds by the Rockefeller Foundation to government employees after a meeting with its President Dean Rusk.
  5. Rusk told the government that only consultations (and not approval) with the Department of Economic Affairs would be necessary before it funded bureaucrats and others.
  6. Appalled at the storm brewing in his government against the foundations’ blatant efforts to woo government officials, Nehru denied he had given the necessary approval. However, he had to backtrack after a note was shown to him, which made it obvious that the opposite was true.

The saga of the Rockefeller Foundation – the foundation that funds Sam Pitroda’s NGO – and its subversion of India’s interest has continued to date.

On July 5, 2021, the MIT Technology Review published an article on the Covid-19 situation in India, titled What went so wrong with covid in India? Everything. The article written by Sonia Falerio claimed that there was a range of “basic mistakes and callous technocratic failures” behind the “catastrophic covid surge” in India. The article was a part of The Pandemic Technology Project on the publication.

The article was riddled with misinformation, fake news and conjectures but that was expected since the MIT Technology Review article was sponsored by Rockefeller Foundation, an ally of the CIA in its ‘cultural war’ in various countries.

In August 2023, OpIndia had predicted that George Soros, Ford Foundation and the Rockefeller Foundation may be planning another onslaught against Indian firms through OCCRP – and that the onslaught was connected to China funding of NewsClick.

At that time, Rahul Gandhi delivered a press conference against Adani based on the OCCRP report that OpIndia had predicted. Interestingly, before the press conference of Rahul Gandhi began, OCCRP posted on X that Rahul Gandhi would be holding a press conference based on its report.

Rahul Gandhi’s attack against Gautam Adani aligned perfectly with the interests of the Rockefeller Foundation, George Soros and the Ford Foundation. In fact, George Soros had even made a public statement about the Adani fiasco saying that PM Modi would have to pay for it politically. In January 2020, the American billionaire committed $1 billion to start a global university to “fight nationalists” – including PM Modi.

Our full report on the issue can be read here.

The Rockefeller Foundation’s involvement in India is not recent. The India International Centre, Delhi, is an NGO, but has been heavily supported and involved with the Indian Government since its inception in 1958 (Nehruvian-Congress era of politics). The IIC was founded & funded by the Rockefeller Foundation. The Rockefeller Foundation & Rothschild Foundation are partners in many projects. Now, both these organizations have dark sinister secrets and pasts. A look at the ‘About’ section of the India International Centre’s website and one can see quite clearly that its past and present Presidents, Vice Presidents, Life Trustees and Trustees mostly belong to the comfortable coterie of Lutyens’ and Khan Market cabal.

Globally, the Rockefeller Foundation has fuelled unrest. Earlier this year, amid the ongoing pro-Palestinian protests in prominent US universities, it had come to light that the likes of George Soros and Rockefeller Brothers Fund are funding the demonstrators and creating unrest on campuses. In fact, it was even reported that the pro-Hamas protests and violence is funded by the Rockefeller Foundation.

Questions that emerge – Sam Pitroda, Rahul Gandhi, the nexus with USA and regime change operation?

It is not a matter of speculation that Sam Pitroda works closely with two individuals who are directly connected to the Rockefeller Foundation. One, in fact, is the current Vice President of the Rockefeller Foundation. The other was an official of the US government who worked with Hillary Clinton and was lobbying for US Corporate interests in India during the Congress government.

It is also not speculation that the NGO which is co-founded by Sam Pitroda and the two others – connected to the Rockefeller Foundation – is funded by the US State Department, the USAID and the Rockefeller Foundation.

All of these agencies specifically work towards the US’ foreign policy goals, regime change and interfering in the internal matters of foreign nations – to further the interest of the USA.

It is, therefore, not unreasonable to question whether Sam Pitroda, who is directly working with the Rockefeller Foundation, the US State Department and the USAID is working specifically to further the interests of the US Deep State in India.

What makes the speculations gain far more credence is the fact that Rahul Gandhi, whose talks abroad are organized by Sam Pitroda, talks about the very issues which the US State Department rakes up over and over again. He has also demanded, repeatedly, for the intervention of the USA in India’s internal matters.

Every single year, Rahul Gandhi has asked, in fact, begged, the US to affect a regime change operation in India.

In 2021, Rahul Gandhi asked for US interference during an online interaction with Ambassador Nicholas Burns of the Harvard Kennedy School. The Gandhi scion was invited by the Harvard Kennedy School’s Institute of Politics to talk about challenges and opportunities in India and reflections on politics and public service. Nicholas Burns is a former American ambassador to Greece, and currently a Professor of the Practice of Diplomacy and International Politics at Harvard’s John F. Kennedy School of Government. Rahul Gandhi had said, “I don’t hear anything from the US establishment about what is happening in India. If you are saying partnership in democracy is, I mean, what’s your view on what is happening here?” Rahul Gandhi also added, “I fundamentally believe, that America is a profound idea. The idea of freedom, the way it is encapsulated in your constitution is a very powerful idea. But you got to defend that idea. And that’s the real question.” However, Nicholas Burns didn’t respond to this specifically, only saying that when they will hold the next session in two weeks with another guest from India, they will discuss these matters.

In March 2021, during his interview with Brown University professor, Rahul Gandhi had indirectly asked the Western countries not to recognize BJP’s electoral success by comparing the party’s victory to Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussien and Libya’s Gaddafi. Rahul Gandhi had claimed Saddam Hussein and Gaddafi won elections too, just like PM Modi, and hence one should not equate elections with the successful function of democracy. Both Libya and Iraq were destroyed by Western bombings.

Taking a jibe at the Centre, he added that both Saddam Hussein and Gaddafi did not need votes but used the electoral process to capture power. These comments were made during a talk show with leftist professor Ashutosh Varshney of USA’s Brown University, who had asked Rahul for his commentary on the ‘decline in democracy’ in India. However, it is interesting to note that Gaddafi came to power in Libya in September 1969 as the leader through a military coup that overthrew the British-backed King Idris and not through a democratic electoral process.

In 2022, he had again asked for foreign interference while he was in the UK.

In 2023, he was seated with Sam Pitroda and Sunita Vishwanathan in the USA – Hudson University. It is during this visit that he made a secret visit to the White House as well. OpIndia had exposed links to Jihadi organizations and George Soros at the time.

Many may have dismissed Mani Shankar Aiyer’s ‘Unhe hataiye, hemein le ayiye” in Pakistan as a low-level rant, but Rahul Gandhi has been saying the same thing over and over, sending the same message to Western powers for years.

A list of Rahul Gandhi’s secret ‘foreign trips’, meetings with anti-India elements and calls for foreign interference can be read here.
