#WaqfLoot
The most bizarre story surfacing now is that in 2014, a night before model code of conduct applied for general election, UPA govt ‘gifted’ 123 prime properties in Delhi to Waqf Board.

UPA lost the election but not before selling the heart of Delhi.

1/

The properties under question are not just another empty ground in remote area but literally gold mines prime location worth thousands of crores.

2/

The entire matter was executed in a hasty manner within a week that went through chain of approvals by several departments & ministries.

Salman Khurshid was said to be in-charge of this entire execution.

3/

Immediately after NDA formed the government, VHP challenged these properties de-notification, that was inherited from British Raj pre-independent.

In Aug’14 Delhi HC ordered centre to take appropriate decision regarding 123 properties. List - just take a glance.

4/

Govt formed a one-member committee in 2016 for the said purpose which submitted inconclusive report in 2017. In August 2018, govt appointed two-member committee. And in November 21, DDA issued public notice inviting representations with regard to the properties. Read.

Do you know that Indian Police Foundation (IPF), a non-profit org that consists of serving/retired top cops from all streams, bureaucrats & having a variety of associations with the public figures including a few NGO that have been a national security challenge?

This is going to be a long thread with a brief intro of some people, orgs & then crucial factors.

The thread consists lot of snapshots, recommended to have quick look while scrolling down.

Before you read ahead, understand the thought process behind writing the thread. (P1)
2/

IPF, a NGO, was formed in 2015, largely conceptualized upon ‘SMART’ policing vision by Hon'ble PM. It is a think-tank of public/police/govt top-notches to collaborate for police reform/well-being, which is being said that largely operates from BPRD, Home Ministry premises.

The Executive Committee & General Council is power-hub of 50+ rtd/serving IAS/IPS/TopGovtBureaucrats/ CorporatePlayers/ Editors and ultra high-profile dignitaries, captured in P1, P2, P3.

Pls spend 2 min to understand the profiling.

4/

Most of the credible dignitaries don't need deep insight into the solid construction of the NGO.

Let's look into noticeable members:

Julio Ribeiro- who happens to be a staunch critic of “fascist” Modi/Shah, who recently questioned the integrity of highest offices

INC leader & singer Sidhu Moosewala'a last song "SYL" hits 16mn views in 20hrs. The lyrics & visuals are about disputed SYL Canal which dangerously provokes violence, glorifies terror!sm, & fuels the fire of 'self-sovereignty' in an already struggling nation with anarchism.
1/

The lyrics are "until you satisfy our sovereignty, forget about water, we won't spare a drop of water (of rivers of Punjab)".

Note that the Sutlej Yamuna Link project offers Ravi & Beas water sharing between PUN & HAR, which was inaugurated by Late PM Indira Gandhi in 1982.
2/

The project has bloodied history of protests & k!ll!ngs in 80's, the peak of KhaI!stan & Bhindrenwala. The song warned "If govt won't back off, Jathana will come again", referring Babbar KhaIsa terr0r!st Balwinder Jathana who killed 2 SYL engineers in Chandigarh in 1990.
3/

Jathana, Lf Gen of trr outfit of Malwa region had reward of 16Lac on his head was hailed as a "hero" of the community. He was encountered by cops in 1991, same year 4 of his family members & compliance were burnt alive allegedly by cops with help of a neo-Nihang Poohla.
4/

Song took a jibe at AAP ("Topi" shouldn't mess with "Turban") but aimed at the govt referring to that time of INC. Note that Akali leader Longowal who signed Peace Accord (including SYL) with Rajeev Gandhi was assass!nated by Kh terr0r!st Gian Singh Leel within a month.

FORD is NOT exiting INDIA. Neither it came here just 25 years back with their cars, nor it is going to quit anytime soon.

CIA linked Ford Foundation estb in India in 1952 upon Nehru's invitation, has sent millions$$ since then, until Modi regime holds the rein.

Read on..

1/

As per FF website, it has sent approx $508mn in India (P1,2), having office at 55, Lodhi Estate, Delhi (P3) which apparently is the same address that of UN Information Center in India (P4), enjoying sort of immunity under a "signed memorandum" with GoI in 1952, until 2014!
2/

Life turns here. As soon as PM Modi assumed office, MHA cracked down on all foreign-funded NGOs & subsequently more than 16K NGO were banned for FCRA violation between 2015-19.
3/

FF was no exception and came under heavy scrutiny & had almost "packed". Apr'15 news started surfacing about scrutiny over FF, citing case when FF lent $200K to Sabrang NGO run by Teesta Satelvad in 2008 for fueling communalism & nat'al security concerns.
4/

Here, FF started an Int'nal lobbying, followed by series of meetings with MHA/MEA/FM. Note that in 2008, FF roped in Infy founder NRN Murthy also to executive board, who participated in one such high profile meeting in May'15 with Derren Walker (FF Prez), John Podesta

[Exposed] The web of lies of alleged fact-check portal AltNews & directors.

Pravda Media (parent co), a not-for-profit, not just making huge profits but systematically retaining most of them.

Let's take a deep dive into the financial stats of the 'charity'.
#TheHawkEyeThread
1/

Pravda, largely run by a trio Nirjari Sinha (promoter & MD) & 2 directors- Pratik Sinha, son of MD (i.e. related party) & Md Zubair.

They often claim crowdfunding as 'only source', however, 38% of funds are institutional grants & 9% comes from interest on FD & other income.
2/

In past 3 years, IPMSF (donated 1.7Cr), same org that funds most of the leftist media. Infosys (10L)’ KRN Murthy is ex Ford Foundation who mediated with MEA/MHA when it was on verge of shutdown. Zindabad Trust (8.5L) run by Arundhati Roy, doesn’t need an introduction.
3/

The directors often pretend to struggle for the monthly fund target, while Pravda has 2.7Cr Reserves (UNUTILISED).

Interestingly crowdfunding (2.9Cr) in the past three years is almost equal to UNUTILISED funds (2.7Cr).

And the bank FD increased from 13L to 1.7Cr same time.
4/

Given the total expenses, Pravda's operational cost is ~9.6L per month.

Simple maths, with 2.7Cr of reserves, the company can run (with the same hefty salary structure) for the next 28 months without any source of income.

And all this while there is frequent fund appeal!!

1. On Fri. 8 Jan. Military Intel Contact said to keep phones on, charged and ready for Tier 4B notification as the RV release was being expedited and our start was at any time.

Would anyone like to admit why he cc'd himself in an email Wei Dai would see at ibiblio's host address? I have a few ideas.

was the .ae ccTLD a nod to Tim Berners-Lee/registries that issue top level country code domains? Is that why Tel Aviv is a place I commonly find OTC/Bitcoin related companies and DAC/dev protocols and operations based? Why UAE/Israel have opened commerce bilaterally in 2020?

Bitcoin is worldwide P2P software and growing into a network of the same ilk, what it can send without interference we can't even grasp yet. Even if you don't like another person, or their religious beliefs, bitcoin doesn't care. I lived through 9/11, my friends died in war.

But even I don't want Bitcoin just for the people I am more likely to have similarities too. And in working with the @_Devcoin guys for a few years now, officially since 2020 - I realized people from all spots on this globe and I share much more in common than everyday Americans.

And I haven't turned my back or spurned Americans either. I'm just saying we need to change our mindset. We want things but we won't admit it takes a whole world to pull off what it is we seek. The media is to blame for this but I also think we're at the point for grownups to act

THREAD ON IRONFLY

These days the most preferred strategy for option sellers due to improved margins is IRONFLY. It's essentially a short straddle with long strangle. Long strangle acting as 'WINGS', which help in capping the unlimited risk associated with a short straddle.(1/n)

You can also view the position as a combination of Cal & Put credit spreads, if that makes it more easy for you.

There are 3 important things to understand while trading this strategy:

1) Initial size of the Wings
2) Risk Management
3) Adjustments

(2/n)

Since we are selling an ATM straddle, the 1st question is how far our wings should be? Ideally i sell .50 delta straddle & buy .20 or .10 OTM strangle, depending on my view on volatility. So the distance of wings depends on the IV setup. Higher the IVs, greater the distance.(3/n)

If you don't understand greeks, then ideally with 30 days to expiry (dte), wings should be around 300pts either side. If your trading in weekly then it should be not more than 200pts. Higher the premiums, higher the distance as we have more cushion of theta. (4/n)

It is important to understand that we need to reduce the distance of wings with time so as to manage our RISK in gap openings or sudden volatile move. So for eg. if you started with 300pt wings with 30dte, the wings wouldn't give the same protection when there is 7dte. (5/n)

1/ All I keep thinking about in this moment are all the horrible things that Rush Limbaugh did and said. Just flashes of them.

Like how following Trayvon Martin's death, he tried to convince people it was okay to say "n word" now as long as you ended with an "a" (and said it).

2/ Or how, one of his "undeniable truths" was that "Feminism was established so as to allow unattractive women easier access to the mainstream of pop culture."

3/ Or how if a prominent woman would publicly defend another woman, he would refer to it as "solidarity of the vaginas."

4/ How he absolutely hated Michelle Obama...and used to refer to has as "moo-chelle." He really liked this because it both attacked her for mooching off system as he claimed and because it was his way of calling her a cow (he thought she was fat).

5/ He had this one song called "Barack the Magic Negro." The lyrics were even more racist than the name. And he played it all the time. He was still playing that song during his show a few months ago.
