This is the continuation of Tulsi Gabbard, Hare Krisna, and UFO Cults
The Oddity of ISKCON’s Elite Political Support
While traditional Vedic religion gets sparse political support and credibility, ISKCON, whose followers make up around 0.5% of Hindus globally and in India, maintains an incredible amount of political support both in India’s highly controlled political sphere, and also from the West. Before we explore some of the names behind this support, let’s take a step back in time to establish some of the hidden links behind Indian politics. As I previously wrote, the first six [distinct] Prime Ministers of India were all coached by British agents Annie Besant and Mohandas Gandhi. In fact, in what will seem like a twist to those who took their history from textbooks written by the British Empire, Gandhi was not even familiar with Hinduism until Besant taught it to him. The Gandy family that married into the Nehru-Gandhi Dynasty even changed the spelling of its name to match that of the “Mahatma”, the honorific for Mohandas Gandhi promoted by his confidant Rabindranath Tagore.
While the Western world rarely hears much about the struggle, much of the population of India was distrustful of the leadership behind the centralized India from the immediate moment of “independence” in 1947. There was communal violence in many states, and mobs frequently gathered outside 17 York Road, the temporary residence of India’s first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru. However, Nehru held his ground and governed until 1964. After Lal Bahadur Shastri served in the post for two years, Jawaharlal’s daughter, Indira Gandhi, became Prime Minister for over a decade.
In 1975, political pressure finally caught up with the Nehru-Gandhi family. After a court battle over the 1971 elections, Indian courts declared Indira Gandhi guilty of two counts of electoral malpractice. The judge declared her 1971 election null and void and disqualified her from contesting any election or holding office for six years. While the courts granted the judgment a conditional stay, Indira faced a nation with protesters asking the military to stop obeying her orders. Indira then declared a National Emergency, and India went into a period of martial law, remaining in effect for around two years. Critics refer to this moment as proof that the early government of India (when power was held among those first six prime ministers for 42 years) was a puppet government of Western powers, despite supposed declarations of “non-alignment”.
While several sides will frame these events differently, I wanted to at least help readers understand how Indian politics was held in the hands of a small number of people with deep ties to the British Empire they supposedly helped divorce India from.
Is the silver streak in Tulsi’s hair an artificial affectation designed to mirror the appearance of Indira Gandhi, invoking the credibility that Western media lent Indira over the years? Just wondering.
Let us briefly summarize the relationships between every Indian Prime Minister (political party) and the nascent ISKCON movement:
Jawaharlal Nehru (Indian National Congress): Personal friend of Prabhupada.
Lal Bahadur Shastri (Indian National Congress): Actively encouraged Prabhupada, and formalized acceptance of his literature by placing it in government libraries even prior to the formation of ISKCON when Prabhupada had one single devotee.
Indira Gandhi (Indian National Congress): Maintained a cordial diplomatic relationship with ISKCON, and met with Prabhupada in 1975, though denied tight public funds for the international ISKCON efforts.
Morarji Desai (Janata Party): Maintained a very warm and public affinity for ISKCON, and hosted ISKCON’s GBC at his official residence and praised their efforts bringing the Gita to the West.
Charan Singh (Janata Party): Unknown, but was loyal to Desai and Mahatma Gandhi, and also Janata priorities during his brief 170-day reign.
Rajiv Gandhi (Indian National Congress): Promotional of the ISKCON movement, hosting the very first delegation of Soviet Hare Krishna devotees.
V. P. Singh (Janata Dal): Praised Prabhupada’s deep scholarship, and took ISKCON criticism over Westernization of India on the chin.
Chandra Shekhar (Samajwadi Janata Party): Unknown feelings toward ISKCON during his brief 7-month reign.
P. V. Narasimha Rao (Indian National Congress): Said little about ISKCON.
Atal Bihari Vajpayee (Bharatiya Janata Party): Ferociously strong supporter of ISKCON. Inaugurated the ISKCON Delhi Temple and gave preferential treatment to ISKCON visa requests.
H. D. Deve Gowda (Janata Dal): began to grow suspicious of ISKCON and began encouraging state and local governments to investigate temple incidents.
Inder Kumar Gujral (Janata Dal): Maintained a distance from the ISKCON movement.
Manmohan Singh (Indian National Congress): Actively deployed state diplomacy to defend ISKCON, including in Russia where Putin threatened to demolish the only temple and ban the Gita.
Narendra Modi (Bharatiya Janata Party): Instituted the strongest state endorsement of ISKCON. Modi makes high-profile visits to ISKCON temples globally, and issues honorific stamps and coins legitimizing the movement.
There is the additional case of Gulzarilal Nanda who served briefly twice as acting prime minister during the 60s. Nanda held Prabhupada in high regard, developing a close association with the movement in the 70s.
It is possible that Indian PMs played it safe as rumors and revelations of so many ISKCON atrocities bubbled up in public conversation in both India and the West. If there was an effort to rehabilitate ISKCON’s reputation during that time, general silence would make sense. However, we might give Gowda credit for encouraging investigators to keep an eye on the movement. Otherwise, what we see is such strong support for what amounts to an artificial and degenerate form of Hinduism that it’s hard to default to an organic explanation.
Outside of India, the most famously ISKCON associated politician is certainly Tulsi Gabbard. However, there are other ISKCON supporters less directly tied with the worship practices of the Hare Krishnas. These include,
Rishi Sunak, the practicing Hindu former Prime Minister of the UK has celebrated Janmashtami at the ISKCON Bhaktivedanta manor and hosted ISKCON temple leaders at 10 Downing Street.
David Cameron is another former UK Prime Minister who visited Bhaktivedanta Manor,
Pranab Mukherjee, the later former president of India was a deep supporter. He inaugurated the ISKCON Glory of India Vedic Culture Centre in New Delhi, and routinely commended the movement’s global spread of Indian heritage.
All of this support for ISKCON, equating it with Hinduism, has been seized upon by former DNI Tulsi Gabbard throughout her political career, though reporting about it has been lacking in context.
In 2019, both the Intercept and Caravan Magazine published articles questioning a large flow of money into Tulsi’s campaign from Hindu donors they deemed worthy of scrutiny. Apparently, one-third of Tulsi’s early funding came from these donors, and a substantial number of the big names pointed toward a theme of Hindu nationalism. Tulsi’s team quickly characterized the scrutiny as “Hinduphobia” and “bigotry”. Can we dig deeper to better understand?
One of the named groups is the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) of America, a majoritarian organization that has been linked to events that erupted into mob violence against minority Muslims and Christians in India. For example, in 1999 an activist with deep VHP ties burned Christian missionary and his two young sons (aged 6 and 10) alive. The Kandhamal riots of 2008 saw dozens of Christians murdered and tens of thousands fled as their churches were desecrated and destroyed when Sangh Parivar (”Family of the Sangh”) leaders incorrectly blamed the assassination of a local Hindu leader on Christians.
The VHP is aligned with the BJP as core members of the Sangh Parivar, an umbrella of Hindu nationalist (Hindutva) organizations. This includes the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), a volunteer paramilitary organization that evolved in parallel and in communication with Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy. Sangh Parivar groups push for religious anti-conversion laws. The Hindu Swayamsevak Sangh (HSS) is one of the groups that substantially donated to Tulsi’s campaign. They also threaten, harass, and commit violence and property damage against those who resist reconversion. This is indeed a strange relationship for an American politician who claims to value religious freedom, says “peace” so often, and cries “bigotry” over seemingly every criticism.
Prominent Tulsi campaign donor Dr. Bharat Barai, serves as a VHPA advisor, and is a major organizer of U.S. events for Indian PM Modi who himself hosted fundraisers for Tulsi.
The fact that some of these donor relationships go back to Tulsi’s first Congressional bid in 2012 calls into question whether Tulsi’s Democratic identity was sincere. Or, we might examine the entire history of Indian political and religious organizations and recognize the crafting of identities by the British Empire for the political purposes of the globalists—purposes that require the seemingly contradictory alchemy inherent in Hegelian theater from time to time.
If all of this chaos of political and religious contradictions is less than clear, consider the handling of ISKCON priest Chinmoy Krishna Das who was suspended from ISKCON in 2023 and further stripped Das of managerial and leadership positions in 2024. All this stemmed from children who came forward with allegations of sexual molestation at the Pundarik Dham, the major center for Vaishnavism in Bangladesh, and operated by ISKCON. Bangladesh is a primarily Islamic nation, and the entire Asian subcontinent has long been subject to tensions between Muslims and Hindus.
When you constantly hear about stories of child molestation within a single community, it might be a clue.
The story of Chinmoy Krishna Das took a strange turn. He was not arrested for child abuse in Bangladesh, and it is unclear whether or not ISKCON ever reported the allegations against Das to authorities there. Perhaps ISKCON’s public relations office (they have one) studied at the Vatican, or at the City of London.
What we know is that Das quickly resurfaced as the spokesman for the Bangladesh Sammilito Sanatani Jagaran Jote (SSJJ), an organization demanding the addressing of minority rights (in practice, largely the rights of Hindus, the largest minority) in Bangladesh. The SSJJ formed on November 17, 2024, right in the thick of some oddly tumultuous events.
To understand what comes next, understand that there is a corporate group registered as Qi Group in Hong Kong by a close confidant of Tulsi’s guru Chris Butler. A subsidiary of Qi Group operating under the names GoldQuest, QuestNet, and QNet has faced bans, criminal investigations, regulatory enforcement actions, and adverse court rulings in numerous countries. Authorities have variously alleged or found that aspects of its business operated as illegal pyramid or MLM schemes, while some jurisdictions have also investigated related allegations involving fraud, cheating, forgery, or money laundering. Separately, in some countries, individual recruiters associated with QNet networks have been accused of unlawful confinement, deceptive recruitment, or other crimes, with investigations still ongoing.
However, Bangladesh is one of a handful of countries in which QNet has operations that has not gone after the organization despite crafting laws just a few years ago that would seem to target exactly QNet’s operations. We will discuss the operations of Qi Group later in great detail. However, one can easily imagine Muslims who have lost money to Qi Group’s operations might point the finger at ISKCON, the much larger organization from which Butler’s group splintered. One can then easily understand how this might affect Hindu-Muslim relations in a country such as Bangladesh.
The situation in Bangladesh in 2024 was highly volatile. In July of 2024, university students protested for reinstatement of the public sector job quota system, and blocked roads during the protest. These actions spun into violence as armed police and the ruling Awami League’s student wing used lethal force against the protesters. An estimated 1400 people were killed, thousands more reportedly went missing, and over 10,000 detained. Curfews led to a “Long March to Dhaka” where crowds moved closer to the residence of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. Hasini realized that she had lost the military’s backing, and fled to India where she has long-standing relationships with the Nehru-Gandhi family that goes back more than five decades to the moment when Bangladesh achieved independence from Pakistan in 1971.
Note also that Hasina’s sister, Sheikh Rehana is a UK citizen and her daughter Tulip Siddiq is a member of the British Parliament. Her son Sajeeb Wazed Joy is a tech entrepreneur and lobbyist in Washington DC. Her daughter Saima Wazed (Putul) serves as a regional director for the World Health Organization (WHO). Her nephew Radwan Mujib Siddiq is a data analyst and political strategist who has worked as a consultant for the United Nations. The family’s international reach has made it the subject of finger pointing regarding the laundering of billions of dollars.
On November 17, 2025, Hasina was sentenced to capital punishment in absentia by a Bangladeshi court for crimes against humanity committed during the 2024 protests and uprising. Other aspects of the case and the public’s reaction certainly have roots in the general corruption cited through her 15 year reign.
On October 25, 2024, in the wake of Hasina’s removal from rule, Chinmoy led a group of youths associated with Sanatan Jagaran Mancha (a constituent of the SSJJ) that rallied at Laldighi Maidan in Chittagong. At the rally, the youths placed a saffron religious flag atop the Bangladeshi national flag at a Bangladeshi independence monument in violation of law, an act deemed treasonous and disrespectful to the state.
On November 5, 2024, in the midst of these tensions, Muslim businessman Osman Mollah made a post on Facebook labeling ISKCON as a terrorist organization and called for a ban. The post angered enough people that a riot broke out that same evening. The riot included throwing bricks and acid by the angry Hindu mob.
On November 17, 2024, Chinmoy was made spokesperson for the SSJJ. On November 25, just eight days later, he was arrested for sedition over the flag event at Laldishi Maidan the previous month.
The events leading up to Chinmoy’s arrest have been characterized as unorchestrated, but one may wonder. Were I an evil mastermind, I might repurpose exposed pedophiles as crisis actors in religious riots in order to justify crackdowns, control, and money spent on artificial border rivalries. I’m just sayin’.
One may also wonder about the media’s characterization of the event, where Chinmoy Krishna Das, expelled from a tiny sect that strains to call itself “Hinduism”, is described as a Hindu monk jailed by a largely Islamic state for crimes that can be easily painted as motivated by either religious or national bigotry. Mob violence over the case continued as state lawyer Saiful Islam Alif was brutally hacked to death by Das’s supporters outside the Chittagong court. So we are told.
Framed by the absurd identity-driven framing of Chinmoy Krishna Das, a former ISKCON monk accused of raping children, as a Hindu minority rights martyr, major politicians have turned the event into something like an advertisement for ISKCON, and potentially a deterrence over arresting anyone associated with ISKCON (or SIF?) over criminal activities. The politicians and famous people who have spoken out in defense of Das include,
Sheikh Hasina and the Awami League leadership,
Priyanka Gandhi, of the Nehru-Gandhi family supporting Hasina,
Dr. Subrahmanyam Jaishanakar, a BJP politician who was ambassador to the U.S. and is currently serving as External Affairs Minister issued a formal statement supportive of Das,
Arvind Kejriwal, Chief Minister of Delhi,
Suvendu Adhikari, the former INC politician turned BJP’s Leader of the Opposition in West Bengal led major rallies in Kolkata directly targeting the Bangladesh Deputy High Commission. He demanded immediate Indian central government intervention,
Mamata Banerjee, former Chief Minister of West Bengal, indicated she would stand in line with whatever diplomatic steps the Government of India decided to take to protect “the monk”,
Surendra Athwal, the UK MP championed the cause of Das in the UK parliament,
Mary Melbourne, the Australian human rights activist called the nature of the sedition charges arbitrary. I can’t find her commenting on the safety of children under ISKCON care,
United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention filed a formal complaint urging for the designation of Das’s custody as illegal and politically motivated,
Global Human Rights Defense urged for the immediate release of Das,
An unnamed group of Bangladeshi Americans, Buddhists, and Christians sent then President-elect Donald Trump a letter asking him to secure immediate release of Das, reported only in the Times of India, the English-language paper in India funded by a syndicate of 11 British firms,
Some global ISKCON leadership, including leaders like Radharaman Das, have stood in unified solidarity in support of Das,
Mary Jorie Millben, the American singer who has performed for five consecutive presidents, and also sang the Indian national anthem during a visit by Indian Prime Minister Modi to the U.S.
How does somebody like Millben even come into contact with a controversy that hasn’t been explained in the U.S. media for even half a second? Millben did not explain what attacks against Hindus she referred to, nor did she condemn the attacks by Hindu mobs supporting Das, including the murder of the Bangladeshi lawyer.
On April 30, 2025, the High Court of Bangladesh granted bail to Chinmoy Krishna Das. The state immediately challenged the decision, and the Chamber Court stayed the release. Furthermore, in May 2025, authorities formally “showed him arrest” in additional cases related to the violent clashes at the courthouse.
In fairness, I should report that ISKCON sanctioned Radharaman Das at least in part and probably primarily over his public support for Chinmoy Krishna Das. Perhaps ISKCON does not want to be part of this particular game of identity politics. Perhaps ISKCON does not want to be associated with the Qi Group that is associated with SIF. Perhaps ISKCON needs to appear to no longer be an organization infested with pedophiles.
What does the arrest and subsequent global political parade tell us about the importance of the tiny Hindu-ish sect of ISKCON among the globalist elite? Is this all just a tool of identity politics that coincides with bringing victimhood attention to ISKCON? We may not be able to answer these questions, but the channels of transmission through which the messaging works is certainly revealing.
ISKCON as a British Invasion of America?
“The British invasion was the most important event of my life. I was in New Jersey and the night I saw the Beatles changed everything. I had seen Elvis before and he had done nothing for me, but these guys were in a band.” -Steven Van Zandt, guitarist E Street Band
In my 2024 article about the Rolls Royce gurus, I framed the story at least partially around how the several gurus who corrupted the United States had Anglophilic luxury tastes. My investigation of Osho’s cult uncovered the largely scrubbed profile of King Charles II’s closest cousin who worked with Osho in Pune, along with numerous other English and European elites. My investigation into Kamala Harris revealed her maternal lineage’s intersection in the Greater Chennai Corporation with the Theosophical Society. Can we find additional ties to the British Empire in ISKCON’s story, aside from the Freemasonry connections already documented, that would continue the trend that connects the British Empire to cults focusing Western minds on bastardized versions of Eastern religion?
The Proxy British Invasion of the Rolls Royce Gurus
Some more active conversation about topics such as this can be found at the RTE Locals channel. Other articles on Theosophy and social engineering can be found here.
The Hare Krishna movement attracted a great many followers, but somehow media celebrities seemed to be at greater risk? Or were they dispatched by handlers in intelligence agencies to entertain the youth into hypnotic states so that the masses [particularly in the U.S.] would never wake up to challenge the British-built globalist empire, believing by some strange madness that rocking all day and night somehow stuck it to the man?
Is there something like a statistical test for such a hypothesis?
Wikipedia contains a list of noteworthy Hare Krishnas, past or present:
Let’s count the Brits:
Russell Brand, (you can check out my four articles and other research on him)
Annie Lennox,
Boy George,
Chrissie Hynde is an American who moved to London when she was young,
Crispian Mills,
George Harrison,
Lora Logic
Hayley Mills,
Marc Ellis is from New Zealand, and
Poly Styrene.
Of course, we’re skipping over all the British men and women who were important to (re-)establishing the Gaudiya sect in the first place, both in Bengal and also in London.
From the Wikipedia list, there are at least 8 from England, and up to 10 if you count Kiwis and immigrants. Some of these are superstars, and some are punk rockers and I’m having a hard time imagining the Venn intersection between punk rock and Gaudiya Vaishnavism to be organically populated. Punk rock is when you punch the globalists talking guru nonsense in the jimmies and run.
Counting the Americans:
Allen Ginsberg,
Chrissie Hynde,
Henry Doktorski,
John Joseph,
Harley Flanagan,
Ray Cappo,
Vic DiCara,
Kevin Wu
That’s 8 including one who left early for London and one born in 1990.
I will call this mildly interesting parity. We will see a startlingly more interesting British link later, in Tulsi Gabbard’s close circle.
BlackRock on How to Maintain a Cult
“I am the supreme goal, the supporter, the lord, the witness, the abode, the refuge, and the closest friend. I am the origin and the dissolution, the ground upon which everything rests, the locus of maintenance, and the imperishable seed.” -Lord Krishna (Vishnu), Bhagavad Gita (9:18)
A while back, I caught an interesting post at the Decode The World substack. It was about how a BlackRock interview question reveals the evil of the organization. Give it a try if you like.
I really enjoyed some of the interview questions on Wall Street. A few were neat math problems with clever solutions, and I’ve heard or read a few dozen of that sort of question since. I enjoy seeing if I can crack them all open. None struck me as testing for psychopathy, though I’m 99% sure that one of them tested how I might handle a psychopath who was gaslighting me.
When I saw this particular BlackRock question, I immediately thought about all the cults I’ve studied. I saw the question as, “How would you build a cult?” and began formulating my answer.
Once I had an answer in mind, I thumbed through the responses to see if there were other solutions, though I didn’t see any. What this tells us is that people either fail to force themselves through a psychological window to engineer logic for a situation that they cannot morally endure, or they cannot perform the problem solving exercise once through the window. BlackRock is not “testing for evil”, but testing for Peter Thiel. They’re looking for competence and psychopathy in the same package.
They’re looking for a cult leader. And it should come as no surprise that a lesson on how to build a cult was recently part of Thiel’s now exposed Dialogue secret society (of which Tulsi Gabbard was apparently a member).
A top notch cult leader must be able to dominate the more feeble minded with their wits while simultaneously be able to bind the hawks among the doves to their will. With that in mind, I offered an answer.
This answer ensures that every potential cult defector knows that the others will be motivated to catch them [and tear them apart, if the cult leader so desires it]. It’s all about the game theory, and, ultimately, the cult leader never even uses the bullet.
I tell this story of the BlackRock cult sieve so that some readers may use it to identify whether anyone in this article seems like a cult leader based on the psychological and organizational tools they employ.
The ISKCON Fracture and Its Tragic Victims
For years in the late 60s and well into the 70s, Hare Krishnas grew in numbers in the U.S. They chanted in parks and sold flowers at airports (at least federal airport security did something right). They were all relatively harmless, unless you consider the theatrical waste of hundreds of millions or billions of human hours harmful.
Actually, the Hare Krishnas weren’t at all harmless. Over the years, many have recorded admissions that they lied to raise funds more quickly, such as with claims of working for other religious groups or charities targeted at whatever crowd was around. Sometimes, Hare Krishnas wore wigs and “civilian clothes” to gather donations from groups who might not approve of the Hare Krishnas. Devotees called this “transcendental tricker”. Some ISKCON groups ran mail fraud and racketeering schemes, some solicited sex, and some even ordered or took contracts for murder. Many who were involved reported feelings of meaninglessness or despair over the state of the world. Perhaps this is what happens when young people channel their energy into organizations that do not actually solve the problems they went wandering for cohesive groups to work with to solve.
The result is an epistemological ouroboros, and the globalists couldn’t ask for a better result.
The purpose of a system is what it does.
Part of what fooled people was the presence of Indian people among the Hare Krishnas. Certifiably Indian. This confuses Westerners of confined perspectives. Most Americans just know that five of the eight Indian kids in their school make perfect grades. That’s the result of migration filtering. Among two or so billion South Asians, you can identify plenty of families who value academic achievement. You also find very large numbers of ordinary people, and plenty who are intellectually deficient. There are still millions in India who poop by the road, then wipe with the hand they don’t eat with. Among that great mixture of people, you can recruit plenty of pawns to send to Americans to dance and chant with some monks, believing it is the meaning of their lives to share spiritual energy with Americans.
More likely than anyone achieving spiritual ascension through group madness, there are MI6 and CIA analysts sorting all their data, comparing the results with the activities of other cults. They probably had agents in ISKCON’s public relations office where some staff later claimed to self-censor in order to hide the assortment of scandals piling up within the organization.
One way or another, ISKCON continued to grow, and so did its coffers. Founder Swami Prabhupada continued to write books, and the Ghaktivedanta Book Trust was established as ISKCON’s primary publishing house—possibly to create a distance between the supposedly anti-globalist Prabhupada and his previous publisher, MacMillan, which is hard to describe as anything less than “The British Empire’s book publishing arm”. Money coming into ISKCON helped establish hundreds of temples throughout the world, but mostly in the West where LARPers could pretend they were engaging in “Eastern religion”, encouraged by a man given license to invent it all in a way that would volumes to unwind, and that even fewer people would care to read.
After more than a decade of acting as the Johnny Appleseed of Krishna chanting, Pradhupada passed away in late 1977. Over the years, ISKCON had accumulated so much power that there were inevitable doubts over the nature of his death. Four months prior to demise, Pradhupada signed a formal directive naming 11 senior disciples. Is there a psychological reason not to get to 12?
Of these 11 disciples, none were of Indian descent. One was German, nine were born in the U.S., and one was born in Saipan, a U.S. Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands at the time of his birth. By this time, all of them had adopted big boy super-guru names including the words “Swami”, “Goswami”, or “dasa”.
Upon Pradhupada’s death, there were questions not just about the nature of his death, but also about how succession would take place. The ISKCON Governing Body Commission (GBC) oversaw a process of recognition of the 11 as independent diksha (initiating) gurus. This allowed for distributed leadership to manage, maintain, and grow the ISKCON empire. The Ritvik movement formed as doubters believed the GBC was asserting Pradhupada’s intentions beyond anything that was ever really stated. This is a conflict that repeats itself throughout history as what appears to be unorganized religion suddenly gives way to the reality of an organizing body. Within the ISKCON community, the period of chaos that settled into the new status quo became known as the “Zonal Acharya” era. Give a thing a name and you normalize it outside of discussion of the actual controversies.
This is where the story turns extremely dark, which will not surprise neutral readers of history, but will shock true believers whose minds are still stuck in particularly arranged wings of Plato’s cave. The gurus-to-be gradually amassed a long list of troubling controversies that, when presented together, may be most easily viewed through the lens declaring that the purpose of a system is what it does (POSIWID).
The following looks almost like a system of oligurus whose power and wealth might plug into intelligence networks and organized crime under cover provided by religious humanitarian shielding was always the point. This looks less like a bit of religion gone wrong, and more like arranged deployment of several Jeffrey Epsteins for a MOBS network. And it connects a lot of American names to the globalist plans of the British Empire:
Keith Gordon Ham (Kirtanananda Swami): Keeping a gay lover for life against Hare Krishna orthodoxy is the least of this guy’s issues. Aside from amassing a fortune through racketeering, mail fraud, and other routine scams, Ham went on trial for the ordering of contract killings of Hare Krishnas who opposed him due to his history of raping children.
Gordon John Erdman (Jayapataka Swami): If there is a genuine spiritual searcher in the group, it’s Erdman. That may not be saying much. Given his strong defense of the Zonal Acharya system that handed him authority over a large swath of Indian and Bengali ISKCON operations, I’d hate to judge him too positively from afar.
Thomas George Herzig (Tamal Krishna Goswami): As Prabhupada’s personal secretary, and architect of the Zonal Acharya system that handed him great personal power, Herzig was always at the center of conspiracy theories about the ISKCON founder’s death. In 1980, he attempted a personal takeover of GBC that was successfully resisted. In 2002, he finally repented his role in creating the system, encouraging ISKCON reforms, began assigning his powers to members of his staff, and asked friends to take care of his children. He then died when his taxi in India flipped and hit a tree, which was ruled a routine accident.
Stephen Guarino (Satsvarupa dasa Goswami): The ISKCON senior historian who broke his vows by having a relationship with a married woman within ISKCON.
Howard Resnick (Hridayananda dasa Goswami): Resnick is the UC Berkeley dropout of the bunch. He is controversial for offering up even more watered-down versions of ISKCON theology and promoting openness to the LGBTQ+ community for which he formally apologized. While child sexual abuse was going on in his zone, he claimed no knowledge about it.
Charles Bacis (Bhavananda Swami) After serving in the GBC for a while, Bacis admitted to severe breaches of his celibacy vows. He was later implicated in the boarding school abuse scandals over grooming and raping children. He was never arrested for those transgressions.
Robert Campagnola (Harikesa Swami) Makes music that even Hare Krishnas don’t listen to on Spotify.
Robert Grant (Ramesvara Swami)
Hans Jurgen Kary (Hansadutta Swami) In 1980, Kary was arrested for possession of illegal weapons resulting in his demotion in status by ISKCON. Apparently, without status, he just went ahead and broke his celibacy vows, got married, and had kids.
William Ehrlichman (Bhagavan dasa) Oversaw ISKCON growth in numerous European countries. After admitting to an “inappropriate relationship with a woman”, he stepped aside and settled in California.
James Edward Immel (Jayatirtha dasa) We covered Immel’s drug ring and decapitation near the outset of the article.
Amusingly, when I asked ChatGPT to create an image of the 11 disciple oligurus documenting their various crimes and abuses, it created this false image with names inserted out of thin air to replace the names of the actual 11 guru initiates!
The following conversation followed:
That’s Mathew’s second law in action.
Mathew’s second law [of epistemological warfare]: The more political the topic, the less reliable is artificial intelligence.
While the ISKCON GBC claims to now have everything under control, the organization should probably have simply been burned to the ground and its physical and intellectual properties distributed among the thousands and thousands of victims of its super-gurus.
This was all not simply a series of great tragedies. These were the activities of men hand-selected by the founding guru of an organization. To blame these men of deeply troubling appetites is a full indictment of Padhupada and his methods. This is the very expectation of a “degenerate sect”.
The purpose of a system is what it does.
The Twelfth Disciple?
Carol Porter was born in Decatur, Indiana on December 11, 1948 to what is publicized as a “multicultural household” with German and European roots. Gerald Michael Gabbard was born on January 15, 1948 in Fagatoa, American Samoa to a Roman Catholic family. The pair agreed to marry on December 27, 1968 and have had five kids together throughout their long marriage. They named one of them Tulsi, another spelling for the sacred basil plant of the Gaudiya Vishnaiva.
I took the liberty of cropping this nice wedding photo from Mike’s online collection:
What I see are two good looking young people. In their faces, I see gentleness, and a desire for good will in the world. I want to be their friend, or cousin, or somebody they can talk to about cults and about the insanity of the 60s. There are no photos in Mike’s album of anything like a big, supportive family around them. Perhaps they had a paucity of money and social support? I saw Mike say something somewhere about having little, but a guitar. Is this how it begins for two earnest lovebirds, with little money, who do not have enough sense but to walk into one of the traps laid out for the 60s counterculture?
Since I am seeing contradictory stories online, I’m going to do my best to relate the less important part of this story. Mike had spent some of his childhood in Hawaii, and the couple moved there sometime in the 70s. Mike reportedly worked as a tennis pro at one of the resorts there. The couple says they developed a budding interest in Gaudiya Vaishnavism, and Mike corresponded with ISKCON founder Prabhupada.
At some point, the Gabbard couple also met Chris Butler. Butler met Prabhupada in 1971 when Butler was already heavily into the yoga movement. In the meantime, Butler was quickly drawing young people interested in yoga or the Hare Krishna movement in Hawaii, and built his own organization, the Science of Identity Foundation (SIF). Since that time, Butler built quite a flock that many people consider a cult, while the Gabbard family has played a very public role. Without regard to debatable definitions, I’m going to call it a cult for the purposes of this article.
Since the WaPo article, many people have been calling Butler Tulsi Gabbard’s handler, so we should do our best to under Butler and his SIF organization. Regardless of what you have seen or read, unless you’re an insider, there is more to the story than you know.
In 1948, Willis Butler and his wife, Anne, were living in New Orleans when their son Chris (sometimes Kris) was born. Willis was studying medicine at Tulane University’s medical school at the time. Sometime after becoming Dr. Butler, Willis took his family to Hawaii.
While there is no definitive evidence, we might wonder whether Dr. Butler was an intelligence asset. After graduating from Duke University in the late 30s, Butler spent a year teaching at Stanford University, a common recruiting group for conservative spooks on the West Coast. He then spent five years serving as Principal of the American School in Guadalajara, Mexico, the school where U.S. diplomats send their children along with the kids of local elites. This allowed the future doctor to dodge service in World War II, not an easy thing to get away with if you do not have a lot of connections and a purpose. Also understand that white in most of the U.S., a spook tasked as anti-war actor would need to appear more liberal, the analog of that asset would need to appear different in the decidedly socially conservative Hawaii. Dr. Butler fit the profile in the best possible way.
Remember: the easiest way to handle dissidents is to recruit them into cults.
Upon arriving in Hawaii, Dr. Butler began to loudly take anti-imperialism and anti-war stances, expressing a profound skepticism of U.S. foreign policy, which is already ironic for a man enjoying the beautiful sunshine and beaches of a nation the U.S. had annexed Hawaii after decades of political and economic coercion, for strategic economic and military outreach in the Pacific.
In 1965, Dr. Butler challenged Admiral Harry Felt, Commander-in-Chief of the U.S. Pacific Forces, to a debate over the ethics and legality of the Vietnam War. The next year, Dr. Butler was arrested over high profile demonstrations at the University of Hawaii. In 1969, the Supreme Court of Hawaii vindicated the doctor’s right to protest (State of Hawaii v. Willis Pollard Butler). Dr. Butler continued to voice disapproval with wars and nuclear proliferation over the next few decades until he passed in 2008 at the age of 90.
Dr. Butler associated with a particularly interesting professor at that time. Dr. Oliver Lee was a Harvard University graduate and assistant professor of political science at the University of Hawaii at Manoa who had spent time in Nationalist China, Nazi Germany, the British colony of Mauritius, and in Iran under the Shah. Dr. Lee spread Marxist-Leninist philosophy among students in Hawaii, and led noteworthy protests. Dr. Lee was the faculty advisor of a group of students who worked to recruit other students to join the U.S. military for the explicit purpose of assassinating officers. They printed flyers for the recruitment process.
Somehow Dr. Lee escaped treason charges, which fits both his own profile as well as that of U.S. intelligence honey pots during the tumultuous 60s. And if there were strategic places that the government would want to plant a couple of spooks who could keep track of anti-war groups during that time, Hawaii, home to an irreplaceable strategic position for the Navy, was one of those places.
But would a socially conservative Dr. Spook have a son who looked like this?
One need only know that Jim Morrison, voice of an anti-war generation, was the son of Rear Admiral George Stephen Morrison to answer that question.
Whether or not Dr. Butler was a spook playing a role during the 60s when a lot of spooks were playing a lot of counterculture roles, his perceived courage likely lent a lot of credibility to his charismatic son Chris, who was coming of age around that time. In 1968, the young and attractive Chris Butler dropped out of college and began making waves with his publicly overt practice of Hatha yoga, surf culture, and Eastern philosophy. The following year he founded the Haiku Meditation Center on Maui, adopting the name Sai Young (like “Cy Young”), but sometimes just Saiji.
From an article by Christine Gralow in Meanwhile in Hawai’i,
Wolf, who later became an attorney and the administrator of Hawai’i’s courts, interviewed two of Butler’s young, female followers. She reported that they told her they did whatever Butler instructed them to do, they did not ask why, and they said they would kill anyone who attacked Butler. Wolf also reported that Butler had arranged the marriage of an 18-year-old (coincidentally named Tulsi) to a man who did business for Butler on the mainland.
Now, let us enjoy a haiku together.
Since “haiku” and “yoga” were the only oriental words known to the average surfer hippie, and the Gita is not a lengthy read, the meditation and yoga center was a success in that it established Butler as a prominent counter-culture figure who was like so deep, man.
In 1970, Butler transitioned to Gaudiya Vaishnavism around the time he met ISKCON founder Prabhupada. This put him in contact with the large ISKCON organizational structure. The following year, Butler met again with Prabhupada, absorbed Butler’s students into ISKCON, and changed his name again to Siddhaswarupa Das.
Butler later changed his name again to his final form super-guru name Siddhaswarupananda Paramahamsa. I just wanted to wrap all that up and move on. Let’s do another name cheat sheet because “super-guru name Siddhaswarupananda Paramahamsa” is itself a whole haiku:
While I previously opined that South Asians took such giga-syllabic names as a way of telling the British to “FU, go home and never return,” I have steered toward a new hypothesis that most hippies can only keep twelve syllables in the mental RAM above their subconscious thinking layers, allowing for direct hypnosis and mind control from all other words spoken at them. Yes, I’m kidding. I think. I think I’m kidding. I’m Goswami Siddhukidding Poopoorama. That could still change.
Am I being mean? We are talking about people who self-reportedly compete to wear Butler’s castoff clothing, lie prostrate on the floor when he enters a room, eat his leftovers, and sprinkle his toenail clippings on their food.
From 1971 to 1977, Butler had a complicated relationship with ISKCON. As a charismatic leader, Butler could easily have been Pradhupada’s twelfth discipline, but Butler rejected the ISKCON orthodoxy, refusing to shave his locks or push that on his surfer brethren. At some point, Prabhupada accused Butler of stealing and selling an ISKCON temple, though it’s unclear if that was just Butler’s original yoga and meditation center. One way or another, Butler broke away from ISKCON, taking his followers with him. He told his followers that ISKCON’s leadership were plotting to kill Butler, the sort of claim that, when taken for granted, causes devotees to become even more protective of their leader as he withdraws into an increasingly shadowy presence.
A Simulation Within a Simulation?
“All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players.” Probably Sir Fracis Bacon
The occult wing of the globalist MOBS love to tell you how they’re fooling you right in your face. The exercise lets them know how well they’ve brainwashed you, and tells them who remains independent.
One of the recent bafflegab messaging projects of the Empire is to tell you that with high certainty, we’re all living in a simulation. What they mean is that you’re a player in the Hegelian theater known as the Globe Theater. And within the play, there are social engineers building a play. And within that one…
One may wonder how often the social engineers have the self-awareness to reflect on the gaslighting they received prior to their own casting.
Tulsi’s WaPo mainstream media opposition tells you that she is the avatar of Chris Butler, the man who pulls the strings. This may be true. But what they did not investigate is who pulls Butler’s strings. This is not a bug, it’s a feature. It just tells you the plane in the simulation chain on which the WaPo magicians operate.
To understand what I’m talking about, we have to go deeper. All aboard the Vimana Express.
The Science of Identity Foundation (SIF) is often referred to as a breakaway sect of ISKCON, but in reality it is something different, perhaps undefined. Butler stated from the beginning that SIF was simply a “resource”, not a religious organization. With no formal hierarchy or membership rolls, SIF can take whatever form, and define its associations however Butler chooses, at any time and for any purpose. That’s quite a sophisticated setup for a college dropout in his early 20s who spends so much of his time on the business of his primary spiritual quest. Is this a template? Do you think he might have had an advisor the same way Bill Clinton had Jeffrey Epstein to explain to him how to build a foundation through a series of shell companies that makes tracking its activities as difficult as shifting between planes of reality?
I am reminded at this moment of Rolls Royce guru Osho’s statement that he stood for nothing in the sense of holding no fixed dogmas or belief systems. He stated that his “function” was to deprogram people and shatter their existing ideologies—both political and religious. It is exactly the leader who sees nothing wrong with only tearing people down (never to encourage self-construction) who ignores child sex abuse in their cult (note the gang stalking in the comments of that video), and goes to lengths such as distributed biowarfare to win local elections. Osho just said the quiet part out loud because those who are brainwashed cannot think much beyond chanting, dancing, and taking orders. As he even admitted, he could often tell his followers the truth because he knew they would not understand it. It would only encourage their dependence on him.
While Butler rejects authority to impose on him even fractional religious orthodoxy, he imposes his own version of such on his followers. His culture dictates vegetarianism, abstention from alcohol and drugs (though he allowed himself to experiment with drugs in his youth prior to “finding Krishna consciousness”), no extramarital sex, homeschooling, and a deep devotion to Butler as a messenger who speaks for God. But he still claims an unbroken 5,000 year spiritual lineage, and to be his devotee, you have to buy into the notion that he is “God’s voice on Earth.”
As Chris Butlerian mythology grew, Butler’s followers began to claim that he emerged as an avatar of Vishnu from a television set during an episode of Happy Days. Naw, I’m kidding again. Mostly kidding. I mean, does nobody think his sparse release of personal photos leans in the direction of controlled image projection?
While Butler previously took a vow of celibacy, he did wind up getting married in 1982, and I suspect that there is more to this part of the story than we may ever know. A yoga king needs a proper yoga queen, and Wai Lana fits that mold perfectly.
Lana, born in British Hong Kong, has been an international yoga television and internet celebrity since her first show debuted in China, where she is called “the mother of contemporary China yoga”, in 1985. She is one of the rare non-Indian winners of a Padma Award, India’s highest civilian honor. Lana had three children from her previous marriage. Those three children and her ex-husband are all SIF devotees who help manage Lana’s yoga empire. I am having a little trouble with their backstory due to insufficient and contradictory documentation, and I suspect that an important story is being hidden.
Let’s examine Wai Lana’s words as they appeared in Asana, the International Yoga Journal:
One night, when I was 16, I was hanging out at a small party. I was surrounded by friends, yet I still felt overwhelmingly alone and empty inside.
Then someone played a tape on the stereo. I’ll never forget that moment. There was a gentle sound, unlike anything I’d ever heard before. Although it seemed somewhat foreign on the surface, it felt very familiar and comforting deep within me.
My mind and heart became immersed in the beautiful sound vibration. My loneliness, inner emptiness, and unhappiness vanished. It was the first time I’d ever experienced such inner peace and happiness. I knew at that moment that true happiness exists and that life has a purpose. Finally, I had hope. I had no idea what I was listening to at the time, only that it was the most powerful, heartfelt experience I’d ever had. Looking back, that was my first contact with yoga.
Let us ignore for the moment that this interview given by a successful 62-year-old (at the time) body bender looks a great deal like a narcissistic teen’s Brown University admissions essay. There are some details that help us build a timeline.
Who was your great mentor/ teacher?
I later learned that what I had been listening to was Yoga Sound Meditation being chanted by Jagad Guru Siddhaswarupananda (www.sif.yoga). Soon after that, I had the opportunity to hear him speak about the science of yoga. Even though I had never been very academic, I was able to understand the deep philosophical truths that he spoke about. Somehow, my mind became so clear and my heart so open that everything just went right in and clicked. I understood, “Yes. This is correct. I understand this. This is true.” For the first time in my life, I understood that there was much more to life than what meets the eye.
Then when I was 17, I was invited to go to a yoga intensive being held by Jagad Guru Siddhaswarupananda in India. I had never even been on an airplane before, but I was like a starving person determined to go where the food is. Nothing was going to stop me. At the 60-day retreat, I learned yoga in a holistic way: yoga wisdom, meditation, asanas, diet, lifestyle, and so on.
Ever since then, my life was forever changed. Yoga became my passion. After deepening my yoga practice under the direct guidance of Jagad Guru Siddhaswarupananda, I increasingly felt a longing deep in my heart to be of service to the Chinese people. Then Jagad Guru Siddhaswarupananda accepted me as his disciple and gave me the yoga name Vaishnava devi dasi. When he asked me to help pass on what I had been given, to help him give yoga to the Chinese people, I was very happy. I knew then that helping him give yoga to the people of China was my life’s mission.
Since Lana was born in 1955, Lana’s supposed introduction to Butler’s music would have taken place in 1971, and to him personally in 1972, give or take. I can find no other observations about Butler making music in the early 70s aside from teaching his students to chant with cymbals and drums. And while it would have been possible, but weird, for anything ISKCON to be in Hong Kong in the early 70s, it would be even more unusual for Butler’s music to make it there to be played at a party of teenagers at the time.
That doesn’t mean the story isn’t true, but the article goes on to say that she began trying to teach Chinese people in Beijing yoga in 1978. Let’s put a pin on that date.
A brief biography I found online states that, “Wai Lana became interested in yoga and meditation in her twenties,” only after meeting Butler. Lana turned 20 in 1975, so this presents multiple contradictions. After spending time reading through information and interviews about Lana, what I can say for certain is that there are a bunch of conflicting stories. I can also say that I never once found a picture of Lana with either her current husband (Butler) or with her previous husband, with whom she had three children.
Wai Lana married a British man named Richard Bellord in Hong Kong in the 1970s. As best I can tell Bellord was born in 1947 to a wealthy aristocratic Catholic family with ties to Westminster Abbey. Most everything else I could find about him was a combination of just-so stories and a few businesses that likely feed into the SIF story or ecosystem in one way or another. It seems likely that Bellord and Lana had their three children in the Philippines.
Apparently Bellord tried to build a production company to cast Butler in the role of a super-guru martial artist, but it fell flat and was apparently never released.
The wife hand-off is an interesting one, and something aristocrats and nobles have sometimes done throughout history—perhaps for a variety of reasons. I suspect in this case that the marriage was image-oriented.
Bellord remained in the SIF community, but no pictures of him can be easily found. Bellord’s and Lana’s son Rupa married Tulsi’s sister Vrindavan around a decade ago, one of the aforementioned marriages within SIF that make the already private group seem defensively insular.
Now, let’s dig into something about Butler that I think his critics misunderstand. Butler is famous for his invectives regarding homosexuality, so his critics refer to him as “homophobic”. But I have to wonder if there is something else going on. Listen to this recording (hat tip Rebecca Watson) from just after 7:00 to just after 8:00. My hopefully accurate transcription:
So then we’re stuck in this position where we’re faced with having to follow God within our heart, or having to follow the law. And this is what’s so sad. That they create this law. But is this not the reason why they’re creating that law? Because they’re not able to voluntarily…get people to be converted to their religion of materialism…to faggism(?)...voluntarily…convincing them that it’s right, that it’s clean, that it’s spiritual or whatever the hell they think it is. That it’s normal. Because they have no logic in their explanation that it’s somehow normal to shove their fists up each other’s anuses and thereby unable to convince me that it’s normal, or that it’s clean, or that it’s not sinful…that they lick each other’s anuses, or that a man is having sex with a man, or a woman with a woman. They must convert us by force.
That’s NOT a quote from Eric Cartman. This is NOT an episode of South Park?! And no, I don’t know if this particular rant was followed by 140 seconds of graphic descriptions of what three dirty old pervs might do with a doll dressed up like Pinocchio. That’s Jordan Peterson’s job one level higher, in that plane of Plato’s cave where you’re told it’s no longer Plato’s cave, so you stop looking.
Regardless of your perspective on morality of sexuality, this diatribe can be persuasive only by emotional force from a captor to his captive audience. It serves either as bait for a choir primed for the message, or as radicalization of those already under his control. Radicalization how? That may come down to whether they’re straight or gay or something else.
Once you get past your own visceral reaction to Butler’s rants, what should be understood about them is that they were reportedly played to the children in the SIF community while away at their boarding schools. From somebody who says she grew up in SIF (emphasis hers),
Literally everything we did had to go through Chris. If you wanted to work outside of the group, you had to ask his permission. No-one could get married without his consent. From the late 80’s all of us kids were removed from public schools because he didn’t want them influencing our minds away from our service to him. So from that point we were home schooled, until there were schools established in the Philippines. After that all the children were sent to the boarding schools there for intensive schooling. From the small pieces of information that made it out of the schools to me, a lot of the kids were traumatised by the environment, as it was almost prison like. Classes were on hygiene and cooking and all the ways that they would need to serve Chris Butler best. It’s only speculation, but I am certain that this was because places like the US and Australia had standards of education that the home schools has to meet, and they just weren’t. They could avoid scrutiny by having the kids in boarding schools in the Philippines. I can’t even imagine how dreadful it was for my friends who got sent there. I was lucky to avoid it. I didn’t avoid the lack of schooling though, and by the time I officially left the Science of Identity Foundation in 1997, just before I turned 20, I had only received up to a 5th grade education.
From a young child I remember one of the main features of my life was the lectures that were sent to us via tape for us to listen to. Basically these were 1 hour long sessions of Chris talking about his beliefs – how evil and out of control gay people were, how women were inferior and sub human and should be controlled by their husbands, how messed up and evil the outside world was, and how his relationship with God was so special, only he could lead you back to Godhead (Heaven) and that he had so much control over his existence on earth, he could choose the moment of his death. We worshipped him, loved him even. Another part of his teachings was that all life is an illusion, and because of that all relationships were an illusion. We were encouraged to not invest in any relationships other than with him, so we were in effect isolated from our parents who did their best to not love us as per his recommendation, and instead looked at him like a surrogate father/messiah figure. He was this imposing force in our life that we weren’t supposed to offend, which is frankly terrifying when you’re a small child. I remember having many nightmares and a condition called sleep paralysis which can be brought on in times of great stress. My sister developed stress induced epilepsy during the time when we were supposed to be taken out of school. For my parents’ part, they did try to keep us in school for as long as they could, but when Chris heard parents were resisting him, his directive was clear – get them out or else. Every time my parents would try to take us to school, my sister would become hysterical and then she started having seizures. That was the power he had over us.
I really wanted to paint this picture of my childhood, because Tulsi Gabbard grew up in the same group that I did. She was subjected to the same environment I was. She’s still surrounded by this group and calls Chris Butler her guru. This is why the increased interest and her rise to power concerns me so greatly. I want to be very clear, I have no issue with Tulsi, as far as I am concerned, she’s as much a victim as I am, more so because she was groomed from an early age specifically for the path she is now on. What I am concerned about is the control I know Chris Butler has over her, the influence he has over her ability to make decisions, decisions that could become law and impact a whole lot of people. I know what an abusive, mysogynistic, homophobic, germophobic, narcissitic nightmare Chris Butler is. And I know what kind of relationship he has with Tulsi.
What is the result of such invectives against homosexuality on kids who happen to be gay? Could some of those kids grow up to be obedient gay servants? Could such forceful denunciation of homosexuality be used to traumatize gay kids for the explicit purpose of grooming them as a reprogramming project?
These boarding schools were established by Eduardo Tamayo, an uncle of Tulsi’s ex-husband Toby, and are not subject to any U.S. oversight.
Notice the preaching mentions conflict with the law. Is Butler telling the children not to follow the (local government) law as authority, or simply to be blind to any authority outside of himself? If we examine the invective against homosexuality under that sort of DARVO lense, we might ask some additional questions, such as,
Are ranting invectives to distressed pre-sexual children about the unnecessarily graphic nature of [some] homosexuality more likely to help them develop normative sexual behavior, or are they likely to steer those who experiment outside the bounds of normativity into closeted behavior shielded by deep shame, possibly growing into something exceptionally degenerate?
Would such SIF adherents then be easier to manipulate, either for the personal gratification of…someone important…or to participate in criminal activity?
Goo goo g’joob?
I can’t say one way or another. I’m just thinking out loud. Maybe I’ve watched too many movies with authoritarian characters who mask their identities.
Of course, it is perfectly possible that the very healthy Lana, who had three children in rapid succession prior to marrying Butler, cannot have any more. It is possible that the couple chose not to raise another child. It is also possible that Butler shoots blanks.
During the 1980s, Mike Gabbard reportedly worked as an unpaid secretary for Butler while Carol worked on SIF’s finances. One of Mike’s duties was to procure an acupuncturist and masseur for Butler. Masseur? Is that a typo?
I’m not telling you that Butler is a fascist closeted homosexual whose front is to tell you that he hates homosexuality and fascists. I’m not not telling you that, either. I’m not even going to make “Dick Bellord and the Butler” jokes. But given all that we have seen from ISKCON and all the other Rolls Royce gurus, you may need to focus on the hypothesis and chant, “There’s no place like home,” and just see if by some chance we ascend up the hierarchy of simulations.
Suppose, for a moment, hypothetically speaking, that Butler was himself tortured and raped as a child while growing up in an already controlled MOBS operation. Suppose that instead of rebelling and running away, he accepted that fate, and threw himself into playing a role at a higher level of the theater. Suppose that he was assigned a British handler as his empire grew. Would we expect for the result to appear any different? What could help us differentiate between the competing hypotheses?
The purpose of a system is what it does.
Let’s take a moment of peace before moving on, shall we?
SIF, the Qi Group, and Shady Funds
“The word bipartisan usually means some larger-than-usual deception is being carried out.” -George Carlin, Brain Droppings
It should be said that nothing in this article is meant to imply criminal guilt. I’m just laying out what appear to be well-documented facts, and sharing some opinions. You can form your own opinion.
On January 28, 2025, the Wall Street Journal broke a story revealing that during her 2017 Congressional run, Tulsi paid the public relations firm Potomac Square Group $19,400 to mask her ties to the SIF and also something called the Qi Group. What would be so important about a foreign corporate entity that Tulsi might want plastered over?
The Qi Group was founded in Hong Kong 1998 by Malaysian entrepreneurs Vijay Eswaran and Joseph Bismark. Just to fit back with the broader theme of this article, it should be understood that Hong Kong was perhaps the most Freemason city of the entire British Empire. As it grew up, there was scarcely a job in the government or the banks (Hong Kong was primarily a banking and money laundering center for the British opium trade) for which Freemasonry was not a prequalification. But over the years, Hong Kong’s economy has somewhat diversified. Somewhat.
The Qi Group’s initial business was as an e-commerce and direct-selling company targeting the Philippines under names such as GoldQuest and QuestNet via the Qi Group’s flagship subsidiary QNet. The Qi Group’s high profile corporate partners include the United Nations Global Compact, the RYTHM Foundation, the Manchester City Football Club, and the World Economic Forum (WEF). Eswaran publishes articles on the WEF website promoting globalization of the planet.
This relationship is almost certainly the connection that led to Gabbard’s 2015 selection as a WEF Young Global Leader. Gabbard, who built a career out of criticizing globalism, claimed not to understand what the WEF was. If we take her at her word, she told us that she doesn’t educate herself well on the topics she cares about most. How would she even know she doesn’t like globalism if she doesn’t know who the people are who are doing all the globalism, or what sorts of plans they’re making? On March 18, 2015, she tweeted out this self-congratulatory message:
If we take Tulsi at her word, she just adds honors to her resume without regard to what the honor is about, except perhaps to promote some sort of infographic. Did somebody hand that to her?
Tulsi later said that her picture was added to the WEF website without asking her, which is probably true. But then, that seems mostly like an admission that her political career is being handled by a guru or committee. She later began to include jabs at WEF in her feed. However, Gabbard also began at some point to spend time with people in Peter Thiel’s Dialog group who work closely with WEF such as Elon Musk, Jonathan Greenblatt, executives of Google, which is a strategic partner of the WEF, and numerous others. A reasonable defense might be that we can also associate with people we would like to influence. But then, why wouldn’t she have taken that defense regarding the WEF? The most obvious answer is that the WEF had become unpopular with the crowd she was already planning to steer her career toward years before she left the Democratic Party.
Is there a hole in my logic?
We might also note that close media allies of Gabbard such as those often known as the “Intellectual Dark Web“ helped launch the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship (ARC). And while ARC bills itself as the alternative to the WEF, it was established by a lot of the same people, with very similar values, just with rhetoric filtered through PR agencies and the Rockefeller-funded Hoover Institute that better targets the right and alt-right audiences. We might note, as a strange sort of litmus test, that both ARC and WEF include vast swaths of people who were one or two degrees from Jeffrey Epstein, whose closest network says “British Empire globalist MOBS” even more than it says “CIA/Mossad”.
Back to the Qi Group. Eswaran and Bismark are long-time followers and disciples of Butler. And, according to this Wall Street Journal investigative report, SIF has been heavily funded by the Qi Group’s corporate ecosystem. This is more than simply problematic for Butler and for Tulsi’s image. Numerous countries around the globe have started investigations or prosecutions related to the Qi Group’s activities, which look on face like a global network of Ponzi schemes with hundreds of millions or billions of dollars on the line. Ironically, India led the charge a decade ago, but the highest level of national courts may be protecting them. Why? If you do some searching, you will find more information than I am summarizing here:
India: Hundreds of millions in USD have been at stake where QNet and its master franchisee, Vihaan Direct Selling (India) Pvt. Ltd. ran what allegations describe as an illegal multi-level binary pyramid scheme. A lengthy series of court battles that began in 2013 still has families wondering if they will see any of their money again. Dozens of arrests have taken place, and dozens of bank accounts frozen. Some of the cases cite the Prevention of Money Laundering Act. Dozens involved have been arrested. While the national Supreme Court gave QNet’s network breathing room with multiple stays, regional law enforcement has continued to push with cases that have generated (at least) tens of thousands of pages of documents.
Sri Lanka: Banned GoldQuest and QuestNet operations in the 2000s over unregulated, outward foreign exchange flight. The same players came back in 2022 rebranded as QNet, and were once again investigated and banned.
Nepal: Similar to above.
Bhutan: This may be the earliest red flag on this list. All the way back in 2003, GoldQuest was investigated and banned by the government for selling expensive coins that buyers were encouraged to profit from downstream reselling. This scheme operated in several of the nations on this list.
Turkey: In 2010, Turkish police detained 75 people in raids related to QuestNet operations after allegations it was operating a pyramid-style scheme targeting unemployed young people. Additional raids have taken place, though it is unclear [to me] the exact level of legal sanctions have taken place.
Iran: In the late 2000s, Iranian intelligence and cyber police launched crackdowns against both GoldQuest and QuestNet. An estimated tens of million (USD) are at stake. Hundreds of operational hubs were shuttered.
Saudi Arabia: The Saudi government called out QNet while placing a strict ban on direct marketing/pyramid operations. Accounts were frozen to prevent capital flight to Hong Kong.
Sudan: Similar story as above.
Ghana/Cameroon: Here the allegations include fraud, abduction, and human trafficking.
Indonesia: An Interpol red notice led to the detention of Eswaran and Bismark. While Eswaran and Bismark somehow wriggled out of trouble, there is no doubt that there is a serious multimillion-dollar commercial and shareholder dispute.
It is noteworthy that Hong Kong and Singapore, major hubs of money laundering for the globalist network set up by the British Empire, have left the Qi Group alone.
Somehow, Qi Group’s executives have wriggled out of serious consequences in all of this. However, in 2020 QNet fired over 400 representatives across 20 countries as its operations were squeezed, blaming all controversies on “bad practices by a small group of people” who “eroded the brand equity built by the company over the last 22 years.”
Part of what is amazing about all of this is that the Qi Group just keeps going at it, time and time again. If you’re going to partner with the WEF and the UN, and keep Chris Butler happy, you apparently have to find a hustle somehow? And it’s almost as if there isn’t a single person in this entire network capable of building what most nations would recognize as a productive business. If a religion/cult/sect/whatever is such a good thing, we should see its adherents thrive at honest business, amirite? Is there not one single service in any of these largely poor nations that a business could organize its workers to provide? We might hope that the communities in these countries will begin turning on the network of operations such as the Qi Group.
SIF will likely never offer any transparency regarding where its cash comes from. While Qi Group’s founder and possibly some staff may be part of SIF or Butler’s close circle, we will not get information about their finances unless the U.S. government forces disclosure. If that possibility were on the table, the Democratic Party that Tulsi crop-dusted on the way out would have pushed that button back when she was body slamming Kamala Harris in a memorable, and probably scripted political debate. This is where I lean toward a hypothesis that the Tulsi story is protected by both sides of the political aisle.
While it is strategically understandable for Tulsi to want to distance herself from this mess, whether or not it funded her political career (and I strongly suspect that was a piece of it), there may be an even deeper rabbit hole in the vicinity of the story of a sleazy multi-national [criminal?] enterprise with close ties to the WEF and UN. At least one man has claimed that some of SIF’s wealth comes from the proceeds of a large, international drug ring.
And Part 2:
When Rama Das Ranson’s allegations came out in the above interview, Butler and SIF quickly denied that drug trafficker Patrick Bowler and whistleblower Ranson were “members” of SIF. The nice thing about an occult organization where membership may be intentionally defined in fuzzy ways according to convenience and circumstance is that they can claim and deny association at will. But it’s harder to deny that a guy whose legal birth name, given to him by SIF devotees by his parents, Allan and Robyn Ranson, is also his Krishnitesque name, was somewhere in the ecosystem. Amirite?
It might be none of our business what SIF’s funding sources look like, except that when the head of the U.S. intelligence chain expresses obedience to the head of an organization, it might be appropriate that all that group’s finances be made entirely and completely transparent. And given how similar SIF’s operations look to those of ISKCON, we should certainly be concerned. Once again from Gralow,
Meanwhile in Hawai’i reviewed the financial statements of Tibby’s organization, The Pukaki Trust, which is registered as a charity in New Zealand. In 2009, the company reported total assets of just US$671. Total reported assets climbed to over US$650,000 in 2010 and stayed relatively stable until 2014, when The Pukaki Trust reported total assets of nearly US$5 million. It is unclear from the reports how exactly the company gained the funds.
The Pukaki Trust appears to have changed its accounting method in 2016. Total assets were not reported in a method consistent with previous years’ reports and were difficult to decipher. It is clear, though, from the Trust’s 2016 performance report - obtained from New Zealand’s Charity Services division - that money was moved between The Pukaki Trust and Tibby’s five other businesses registered in New Zealand. Money was also exchanged between The Pukaki Trust and Bismark, as well as between The Pukaki Trust and the Australian School of Meditation and Yoga (ASMY), which is SIF’s Australian non-profit organization.
ASMY, run by long-time Butler disciples, reported total assets of over US$21 million in 2016. A review of ASMY’s annual financial reports from 2014 through 2016 found that it is unclear how this money was obtained. QI Group’s Bismark also ran a SIF affiliate in Singapore, the Singapore School of Meditation and Yoga, with a model nearly identical to ASMY’s.
Tibby is currently spearheading a land development project in New Zealand’s Lake Pukaki region, where he and Butler were involved in a local community conflict in the ‘90s. Former Member of New Zealand Parliament Alec Neill publicly suggested that Butler’s group was a cult and that its film company, Ti Leaf Productions Limited, was a front for criminal activity. SIF sued Neill, and Neill told New Zealand journalist Bevan Hurley in 2015 that the suit “just about destroyed [him], both financially and otherwise.”
Neill stated in an email to Meanwhile in Hawai’i that he was unable to comment for this story.
A review of data available through OpenCorporates found that Ti Leaf Productions Limited was registered in Hong Kong in 1993 as Megastar World Trade Limited. Butler disciple Khemaney, who now works for Rep. Gabbard, was one of the company’s directors, along with four other Butler disciples.
QI Group is currently registered in Hong Kong as EB Services Limited.
I don’t know why, but I feel like this is a good moment to break for a little vintage South Park.
The Alchemical Science of Tulsi’s Identity
Suppose you wanted to raise a child to play a role on the global stage that would give them access to powerful levers of government while engineering the illusion of consensus. How might you go about it?
I spent some time thinking about this problem, then consulted an AI, which I had to debate with over whether this was a defensive exercise. I won the debate, so I can combine my own model with its suggestions. Here we go:
Structure: Create a highly malleable structure with nested corporate entities and religious structures to provide layers of opacity. This makes it hard for outsiders to investigate it well.
Recruit: Task an attractive, charismatic leader to build a flock of mind-controlled followers. Keep track of the talents of each member for the purpose of cybernetic direction of the organization.
Leveraged Labor: Whether forced, free, or cheap, use the social dependency and fear instilled by the charismatic leader to create a powerful labor force. Engage in covert criminal activity when the risk is low.
Compromise Assets: Keep files on everyone. Engineer blackmail whenever feasible.
Compartmentalize: Nobody in any branch of the organization should know more than they need to know. If the players cannot reveal too much, opacity is further ensured. Individual whistleblowers can be more easily minimized and discredited. Any picture they portray is necessarily incomplete.
Control the Breeding and Rearing of Children: Arrange marriages more likely to produce the right combinations of talents among the children. Control the education of each child, even if it means twisting the arms of parents. Traumatize isolated children so that you can control the development of each of their identities, and so that they find it hard to break away from the group. Also tell them that they’re special, but only insofar as they can achieve goals laid out to them by leadership. The best mind control involves the capture of identity because the gaslighting process feels more voluntary, and it belies self-awareness of the objective.
Credentialing: Children raised outside the system need referential branding that falsely projects organic upbringing. Send potentially strong assets to institutions with strong branding, whether that means an elite university, a military, or some role in corporate startup.
Public Relations: Create charitable projects, at minimal costs, to give the audience something to focus on. When other information is sparse and controlled, the audience finds it hard to shake biases that act as cognitive dissonance with respect to the larger organization.
Information and Identity Control of Assets: Once the children most fit for serious roles are adults, coach them at every step. Orchestrate online support and controlled interviews. Never let them say too much, or commit to any political direction unnecessarily. This allows for rhetorical justification of maneuvers.
Might this describe Chris Butler’s SIF? Might it describe levels of organization above him, too?
Might this describe what Kay Griggs spoke about?
The rise of Tulsi Gabbard’s popular political identity can be traced to the parallel rise of the modern podcasting phenomenon. This ecosystem is still new enough that conversations about how it works as a propaganda medium are scarce, despite the starkly obvious potential.
Are there signs that Tulsi’s political career is highly crafted? In order to evaluate the signals, you must be able to consider the possibility that there are puppets almost everywhere, working social alchemy until most everyone is conscripted into some part of supporting the illusion on display in the Theater of the Globe. You should know the stories, for instance, about organizations such as Scientology, which had 5,000 of its members infiltrate and spy on the federal government in Operation Snow White.
Fun Facts: Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.’s chief co-attorney is Scientologist Michael Baum, an unindicted coconspirator in Operation Snow White. Kennedy’s close circle includes additional Scientologists and other members of UFO religions. As previously mentioned, Trump’s ambassador to Ukraine is Scientologist John Coale. Scientologists supported the building of the careers of former Attorney General Pam Bondi and Trump’s celebrity-opposition Vivek Ramaswamy, while working their way into Charlie Kirk’s circle.
Joe Rogan is a gifted comedian and martial artist that made him the perfect central fixture in the alt media so adored by the MAGA crowd. Rogan has not only hosted former Scientologists (or controlled opposition?) Leah Remini and Ron Miscavige, he allowed Stargate Project co-founder Hal Puthoff completely off the hook over the fact that the original Scientologists in that project proudly stated that they were studying the work of Scientology founder L Ron Hubbard with that project.
That audience latched hard onto the Manosphere Grifter Complex while all other media told that audience, “You silly conservatives who just want to have traditional families suck, no explanation needed”. All that demographic hate was probably itself at least partially emotional bait for the trap. The consolidated media giants did everything they could to turn their audiences away. It’s almost like it was intentional, and designed to lead into the Trump era of politics and plandemonium.
The purpose of a system is what it does.
According to Google AI,
This is incorrect. All the other AIs gave me incorrect answers, too. I had to hunt through several sources to track down what may or may not be a complete list, but Tulsi’s list of appearances on the Joe Rogan Experience includes episodes 1295, 1599, 1880, and 2032 for at least seven episodes spanning seven years. That doesn’t count episodes where Rogan brings Tulsi into the conversation, as with Bari Weiss, who made a fool of herself calling Tulsi a Russian agent. You couldn’t ask for better PR from Weiss. She also promoted the Intellectual Dark Web, not by cheering for them, but acknowledging them to a large stage audience, which further served to bring Tulsi tremendously positive, and almost certainly scripted, coverage.
Tulsi also appeared on Lex Fridman’s podcast. That particular Rogan-lite podcast is probably a mistake by the central propagandists. Viewers have simply compiled too much information that makes Fridman look like a pre-purposed grifter.
I strongly suspect that no woman ever serving in government has seen so much air time on podcasts, which really are now “the news” for a wide swath of the general public—particularly those who have been psychologically plied to abandon the greater functions of their literacy.
And who can forget Tulsi’s appearance on the View in which she sat calmly and destroyed the four women who are adored by its own segmented audience, but irritate the crap out of most of the rest of us? And they helped her while she kicked their asses. They propped up her image as a “woman of color” (her mother is of European ancestry, and her father is Samoan), a fact that wouldn’t even be clear to much of anyone were it not stated out loud, but needs constant refreshing so that she doesn’t appear quite so much like the white savior of the Hindus.
If you don’t suspect that the accusation that Tulsi was a “Russian agent” and traitor to her country was not simply part of a script that would boost her appeal via the Streissand effect, this may be the moment to begin keeping a propaganda notebook and log what you see on TV and the internet until you get that it’s all fake. Okay, in the era of open content creation, it’s 20% fake, but as the Pareto principle dictates, that 20% of content makes up 80% of the content consumption.
All that charged political sparring helped propel Tulsi into the conveniently-timed moment when she opened her own podcast with the provocative announcement that she was leaving the Democratic Party, which opened Tulsi up to play a role in the current administration. As of now, there are over 140 episodes of that podcast that gave Tulsi further practice smiling to the camera while talking.
On the other hand, you could subscribe to her YouTube channel and watch her surfing commercial.
Since I had never seen Tulsi’s podcast, I spent a few hours consuming a few episodes while typing up this article. A great deal of it is repetition of either topics she was already championing elsewhere, topics that play toward the political center that could be swayed toward voting Trump, or discussions with popular people where audience share could boost Tulsi’s stock. Much of it is reinforcing, though an episode on homeschooling struck me as a way to make her childhood look less like a cult programming scheme. All that reinforcement and image projection is fully expected of politicians, but the thing that I noticed that I wasn’t thinking about going in was her constant smiling while she was talking. This is something that actors and actresses, good salespeople, and politicians do, but I have never seen it more pronounced in one human being. And I wouldn’t have noticed had she not run her own show.
Most of us understand that a smile creates an environment of reflective warmth. We might sometimes use it deliberately for that reason—most often for friendly purposes, like indicating to an acquaintance a heightened level of community acceptance. Most often, we might do this while listening to another person. But it’s harder and less natural to do while we talk. It’s even harder to pull it off constantly because the range of emotions we feel when discussing complex topics is enormous. Very little of that spectrum is consistent with a natural smile. I actually stood in front of the mirror a few days ago and tried it while reading one of my own articles. Because each natural facial expression is different from smiling by different degrees, holding a smile involves a unique sort of mental jujitsu. Any human who is not a psychopath would have to train at making it look any bit natural. To be clear, I believe that I detect training, not innate psychopathy.
Every one of the snippets above I took from a moment when Tulsi was mid-sentence, sometimes about serious issues that wouldn’t warrant a smile at that moment, or just before introducing a horrific topic for which a smile is entirely inappropriate. That’s what signals the alarm in my head. It’s not natural. This would take years of practice, which she gradually accrued. Tulsi also has a serious face, a concerned face, and a startlingly small range of other faces, but this over-use of the smiling face strikes me as a practiced manipulation. It does make her more attractive, and I suspect that whoever her stage coach has been understands that very well.
Somebody out there reading this is an acting coach. What do you think?
The WaPo article was highly suggestive that Tulsi is coached through SIF leadership, but she continues her attempt to appear independent. Can somebody groomed in such a highly controlled culture achieve independence while continuing to be coached from its core?
In this Daily Beast article from January 27, 2025, we see both a picture of Tulsi paying homage to a picture of Chris Butler, but a strange denial of affiliation,
It was obtained by the Daily Beast along with an image from the program for her second marriage, in 2015, which includes a special blessing from Butler, under the name he uses, Siddhaswarupananda.
Both images shed further light on Gabbard’s connections to the Science of Identity Foundation. On Monday The New York Times quoted Gabbard’s spokeswoman as saying “she has never and doesn’t have affiliation” with the group.
On multiple occasions, when reporters critiqued SIF or Butler, Tulsi played the victim card. In the case of the WaPo article, her office, “called the reporting ‘a blatant example of anti-Hindu bigotry.’” In this article from the Caravan, Tulsi responded to queries about her relationship with Modi with, “Hinduphobia,” and then, “Religious bigotry is un-American.” Ding ding ding! We found the person who would use the blurred religion-race card to claim victim status. Should we be surprised that it came from the exact person who spent so much time on the Joe Rogan Experience lamenting the culture war that sharply elevated the victim status game?
This wasn’t the first time Tulsi and her team have tarred opponents with accusations of bigotry. In 2019, when some media scrutinized Tulsi’s donor list for her presidential campaign, Tulsi published an op-ed declaring that “targeting her donors” was “religious bigotry” and inappropriately questioned her national loyalty. But was that just another culture war thought-terminating cliche? We can only understand the circumstances by reviewing those donors (and understanding the history presented in the past few dozen pages):
Vijay Pallod, who has ties to the Hindu Swayamsevak Sangh, an international organization connected to the Hindu nationalist Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), often criticized as “Indian fascism” whose members are at the core of the current ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Bharat Barai is a Chicago-area oncologist and longtime close confidant of Modi.
Mihir Meghani is a co-founder of the Hindu American Foundation (HAF), a BJP-aligned organization.
Ramesh Bhutada is among the RSS leadership. Both his family and business networks injected substantial capital into Tulsi’s campaign.
On the surface, critics in the Democratic Party were understandably shocked at the backing of a Democratic candidate courting so much support from a foreign right-wing group. But I believe that the surface level conversation, and subsequent framing of the controversy as simple bigotry hide something deeper. What I do not have to speculate about is that the constant playing of the “victim card” in this way is also Butler’s rhetorical preference:
When the Honolulu Star-Advertiser launched an investigative report into SIF’s history, financial operations, and political influence, Butler declined interview requests. SIF then launched an aggressive counter-offensive, accusing the newspaper of “religious bigotry” and using “faith as a political weapon”. As if there are no reasons to better understand SIF.
Butler’s representatives in SIF responded to the WaPo piece by publicly accusing the reporters of amplifying “hostility toward the Hindu faith”.
In the past, Butler has framed criticism over his invectives regarding LGBTQ issues as proof that modern society is inherently hostile to “people of faith and spirituality”.
Butler speaks of characterization of his leadership of SIF as a controlling “cult of personality” simply as if they are political smears that need no further answering. I’m honestly not clear on whether he communicates this message himself, or though his select few “Letter A” graded inner-circle who are permitted to handle items he touches.
Then he offers members of the press some of his toenail clippings to eat?
The contradictions in Tulsi’s political identity, or the avatar that is Butler’s identity, extend directly into her actions in Congress and in her position as DNI. These include,
While championing transparency, Tulsi did nothing to stop the mass shredding of USAID documents. While it was a USAID leader elevated by the Biden administration who ordered the shredding, Trump’s team actively enabled the process while Tulsi’s office at the ODNI stayed out of the process. While the ODNI claims to have no jurisdiction over USAID, it has been well known for many years that USAID provided cover for CIA and other intelligence operations. In fact, that was probably the real reason for its existence. She doesn’t seem to speak out regarding controversies surrounding Palantir’s invasive use of data for the supposed purpose of “precrime”, but sought to bring Palantir’s parent, the CIA-backed In-Q-Tel, under control of her office at a time when Palantir’s co-founder, Peter Thiel, told the world he was “naive” (read: “precrime prediction failure”) about Jeffrey Epstein. Tulsi remains suspiciously silent about all things Peter Thiel, almost like she isn’t supposed to say his name in public.
Tulsi sometimes wears the skin of an inclusive progressive, but works with Hindutva advocates.
Tulsi previously championed “Me Too” reform and condemned military sex abuse cover-ups. Then she fiercely campaigned for Trump who was found liable for sexual abuse and defamation, and said nothing more when Epstein-related files about an additional potential 13 year old victim tied to Trump was quickly scrubbed from the released information. She has remained silent regarding allegations of sexual abuse within the SIF community.
Tulsi billed herself as anti-globalist, but brushes off SIF connections to a shady business whose CEO strongly promoted globalism with the World Economic Forum, an organization known for drawing together arms dealers and corporate manufacturers of security state apparatus.
Tulsi publicly pushed back against abusive FISA procedures, specifically citing the controversial Section 702, which allows for mass sweeps on emails, texts, and phone calls of American citizens. During confirmation, she made a noncommittal statement about whether she supported provisions in an extension of Section 702 that requires device owners to cooperate with data requests from the Federal government, and suggested that recent FISA reforms had fixed the issues she previously opposed.
Tulsi always projected an anti-war persona, but then rationalized the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Tulsi complains about “fake news”, but repeatedly appears with Joe Rogan and Lex Fridman who continually platform UFOlogists with pasts that include enumerable crimes and hoaxes—the worst being Hal Puthoff who set in motion the Stargate Project that now looms large as the largest potentially genocidal gamble in modern human history. Do you think she watched the Ky Dickens interview? Does she understand the true-false grab bag that is Alex Jones? If all these UFO disclosure people are telling the truth about all their claims, couldn’t Tulsi just offer up a single file to justify the many shifty claims of Rogan’s dozens of alien and UFO-promoting guests?
Understand that I do not necessarily disagree with some of Tulsi’s position shifts. I just wanted to document the full series of what seems like a long list of contradictions. Some of these are clearly more important than others.
Finally, we should note that while Tulsi claims to champion government transparency, she does nothing to help make SIF, an organization with international reach and globalist business ties (of often dubious legal standing), more transparent. That is particularly concerning when there are questions as to SIF’s reach into one of the most important positions in all of the world’s governments.
The Mikki Willis Connection
En route to putting together this article, I noted that Tulsi has been working with Plandemic documentary maker Mikki Willis.
Tulsi and Willis came into contact no later than 2013. From WIRED (Dec 18, 2024),
Willis is a former model and actor whose biggest claim to fame before he produced Plandemic was a short clip he posted to social media in 2015 showing his ecstatic reaction to his son’s decision to buy a Little Mermaid doll—a video he has since deleted.
Willis claims on The Missing Link that he first met Gabbard 11 years ago, though he does not explain how the pair met. At the time, Gabbard was living in Hawaii and had just been elected to the US House of Representatives, while Willis was living in California and producing low-budget films like Neurons to Nirvana: Understanding Psychedelic Medicines.
Both Gabbard and Willis were supporters of Bernie Sanders in the lead-up to the 2016 presidential election. Willis told The Missing Link that it was while he was on the road with the Sanders campaign that he began to wake up, and that he called Gabbard to tell her what he had learned.
“Do you know the history of the Democratic Party?” Willis claims he asked Gabbard. “Because I didn’t know it. I didn’t know they fought for slavery. I didn’t know the Republican Party fought against slavery. That’s something they’ve kept from me here in California my whole life.”
Willis added that he sent Gabbard links to content to read on the topic.
If you can’t smell the BS by now, I’m not sure what to tell you.
I’m trying to imagine Willis on the phone with Congresswoman Tulsi, reading [slowly] from an 8th grade history textbook, explaining that the Republican Party of Lincoln fought against slavery, while the Democratic Party worked to maintain slavery. Part of me hopes this was a good laugh in her office.
Maybe…follow me on this one...maybe this really was the moment Tulsi realized that the Democratic Party has a long history of sick ideas and corruption, as most all political parties do. Maybe, much as with her lack of understanding of the WEF as a deal center for globalists, she somehow made it to Congress entirely under-educated on fundamentals of U.S. History that we hope are part of an ordinary curriculum by no later than middle school. Maybe, just maybe Mikki and Tulsi bonded over the revelation that the Clintons are corrupt and not everyone around them in the media and in politics is honest. And then, over the following months, that’s when Tulsi ascended into her final form: Athenian goddess Tulsi, the Syncretic goddess of MAGAdom.
Let’s get all this straight: Tulsi and Willis have, for some reason, been pals since 2013, but even as he was releasing Plandemic in May of 2020, she was dodging and weaving regarding the mRNA genetic therapies rhetorically classified as vaccines, encouraging old people to be first in line. From The Hill (Dec 21, 2020),
Retiring Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii) said Monday that she would not receive a COVID-19 vaccine until elderly Americans have been vaccinated, while blasting federal health officials for recommending first responders be prioritized over the elderly when it comes to distribution.
Gabbard criticized the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in a pair of tweets in apparent response, saying “[h]eartless, arrogant, unelected CDC bureaucrats have decided that the lives of elderly Americans don’t count.”
“They’re recommending 100 million ‘essential workers’ (i.e. healthy people working at liquor stores or phone companies) can get the vaccine before our grandparents,” wrote Gabbard, a former 2020 Democratic presidential candidate.
“This is immoral and bad health policy,” she added. “I had planned to get the vaccine but will now stand in solidarity with our seniors by not doing so until THEY can. I urge my colleagues who are under 65 and healthy to join me.”
During 2020, Tulsi pushed for a hard travel shut down, and to make ventilators available, amplifying the shock conversation that panicked the world. Maybe she didn’t trust a guy who had only recently learned how to read basic U.S. History? Tulsi pushed back against vaccine mandates, but wanted the elderly to be first in line for the world’s largest medical experiment.
And yet, six years after Plandemic, Tulsi’s mic drop moment was to announce, basically, that Willis was right about Fauci all along.
Entirely outside of the WaPo article, there is a lot that seems wrong with this story.
Willis always struck me as a disingenuous hypnotist. What do you think of his personal 9/11 witness story?
Who is this guy?
After living in New York for a time, Willis moved to California, eventually settling in Ojai where he lived for nearly two decades. Understand that Ojai is one of the global centers for Freemasonry and its UFO-promoting religious descendants. There are people who call Evergreen University “Esalen North Campus”, and in that same sense, Ojai is “Esalen South”. Despite a small population that still hasn’t reached 8,000, Ojai has been the home of numerous Freemasonry lodges, a Theosophical Society center for Hollywood (relocated from Hollywood), a Krishnamurti Center, a Chabad center, a Quaker group, and a whole lot of spooks with intergenerational ties to the globalist cult creation network.
Ojai is also where Dr. Robert Lashbrook extended Sidney Gottlieb’s clandestine LSD dosing experiments under MK ULTRA, and he has been suspected by many of being the man who pushed Frank Olson from a thirteenth story window. On a media level, it was the home of Bob Rafelson and Bert Schneider, each of which has been the subject of rumor regarding intelligence connections, including MK ULTRA projects, for the sorts of reasons that are obvious if you’ve read your Dave McGowan.
Ojai was also the home of a naval base. Obligatory reminder that the Navy is the branch most associated with biowarfare operations (and this most recent “event”). While this may seem like nothing more than old trivia, Willis’s extremely bare professional background involved working with Lindell TV, which involved a host of military intelligence intelligence, psychological warfare operations, and NSA agents. These include retired General Michael Flynn, Colonel Phil Waldron, Captain Seth Keshel, and James Penrose.
But perhaps all of that history about biowarfare, mind control, spooks, propaganda operations, and UFO cults in a small California town is neither here nor there. But Willis’s documentaries certainly are. We can’t directly pin any of that other stuff on Willis just because he moved to Muppet Central and passed so many of those people (who seem to be nearly the entire population of the town) on a daily basis any more than we can blame Tulsi if some entity of Qi Group held Africans hostage while they worked a pyramid scheme. Maybe they’re both unqualified idiots. But among those who interviewed and worked with Willis are Robert Malone and David Martin.
Robert Malone was the man who brought me in to work stats on the military health database after vaccine rollout, but stood by while my work was covered up and my report to Congress buried because I wasn’t going along with what he described to me as “psyops and counterpsyops”. Remember how Malone went DARVO and started lying and attacking me while making it appear like I was attacking him? Obligatory reminder that Malone’s father-in-law was an MI6 agent. The British plandemonium signals are indeed quite deep.
David Martin’s entire persona screams “Freemasonic Conspirituality Limited Hangout”, but you can judge for yourself. And while we do not have absolute proof that Martin is a Freemason, his company logo and arm tattoo are highly suggestive.
David Martin: A Conspirituality Limited Hangout?

Is This Even Hinduism?
Perhaps more to the point, is this pointing at a deer while calling it a horse?
What I find odd about Tulsi’s Sorta-Kinda-Hundi story is that there are more people of Indian descent in and around important positions than ever before in the U.S., and none of them seem interested in pointing out the absurdity of Tulsi’s identity-defining claim to adherence to Hinduism that repeatedly makes her the “First X” in so many identity-defining ways, much less take on the absurdity that is ISKCON. I find myself wondering if Hindus in the West find themselves feeling blackmailed into silence, and some simply decide to embrace the totalitarian world that fictionalizes most everyone’s identity to one degree or another.
But just for good measure, let’s list prominent Hindus in American politics who do not call out ISKCON, much less the Science of Identity Foundation (SIF) with which Tulsi associates. These include,
Usha Vance, wife of the current Vice Presidents;
Kamala Harris, the last Vice President;
Vivek Ramaswamy, Department of Government Efficiency;
Nikki Haley, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations;
Kash Patel, FBI Director;
Congresspersons Ro Khanna, Pramila Jayapal, Raja Krishnamoorthi, Shri Thanedar, and Suhas Subramanyam.
We might also include several names from the ranks of Silicon Valley’s elite on such a list. Perhaps more importantly, we might include Manish Malhotra, the Chairman and CEO of Unissant, the defense contractor that manages the Defense Medical Epidemiological Database (DMED). It was the DMED controversy where after I spent hundreds of hours pouring over and analyzing the data, I found myself shut out, my report on effects of the mRNA vaccine on troops in the U.S. military held back from Congress, and my presence at the Senator Johnson hearings denied. Unissant is owned by a British entrepreneur, which is itself stunning for a company managing so much data critical to U.S. national security. Unissant’s contracts exploded in 2020 as pandemic operations ramped up, and now include management of U.S. border data.
Hinduism itself is a modern departure from the ancient Vedic religions, crafted by Freemasons. The Gaudiya Vaishnava movement is a fractionalized form of Hinduism, artificially reignited by oligarchically wealthy Freemasons, that might fairly be called intellectually vacuous in its basic form. ISKCON is an international corporate body promoting the Gaudiya Vaishnava movement. The SIF is a breakaway group from ISKCON led by a man who didn’t much care about the actual rules of ISKCON, and apparently just blends it all into a slurry with Christianity, prosperity theology, invectives about male-male mutual ass licking, and perhaps institutional child abuse.
In my own humble opinion, SIF is simply the skin currently worn by a malignant narcissist. While that narcissist may eat healthy food and do yoga pose exercises, my assumption at this point is that all elements of religion are simply tools for binding members who can bring funding for his lifestyle and operations.
Thinking through the chain of all this, I might feel sorry for Tulsi, except for the fact that she plays the game right into power and psyops, which I will expand on in another article. She makes use of the “First Hindu to X” and “Attacks on me are anti-Hindu bigotry” DARVO culture war BS from the position of the somewhat white savior. This may be evidence that she has leaned into the narcissistic role.
Were she to walk away soon, and simply declare all her past deeds and proclamations null, I might forgive her and encourage others to do the same. But I fear that she has helped set the U.S. up for some very bad juju, which is as mystical as I’m going to get about any of this.
The Probability of the Avatar of the Avatar of a British Spook as DNI
Might be comparable to the probability that the spiritual heir of Robert Maxwell got protection and access through the U.S. intelligence community.
To many, the possibility seems too unlikely. The human mind tends to blot out or minimize information such as all that we have seen in this article. And yet, the very first Director of U.S. National Intelligence (DNI), an office established only a little more than two decades ago in the wake of 9/11, was born in London. John Negroponte was not simply a transplant from the other side of the Atlantic, but also a key operative in the Iran-Contra scandal.
Iran-Contra was the scandal in which Jeffrey Epstein, a man who referred to himself as representing the Rothschild family, got his start working in mafia and intelligence circles. Epstein’s British and Zionist contacts, including heads of state, would scale tremendously over several decades. Epstein’s closest confidant, Ghislaine Maxwell, hailed from a British (and almost certainly Zionist) political family involved in a dozen major scandals, some of which could be described as attacks on the U.S., even if they aren’t always framed that way.
The head of MIT’s media lab, Nicholas Negroponte, whose group was so well-funded by Epstein, was John’s brother.
Should we be surprised that Tulsi’s shock revelation was a story with almost no real new information, rather than the busting open of the Epstein case?
Tulsi’s predecessor at the DNI post was Avril Haines, who served through most of the rollout of the experimental mRNA technology behind the Stargate Project. Her father was Rockefeller University Biochemist Thomas Henry Haines whose career was spent studying cellular death. If the Rockefellers are not the suspicious American oligarchal family in terms of its lockstep work with the British Empire, I don’t know who would be. From what I have heard, David Rockefeller’s daughter Abby who provided key financial support to Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., who entered office with the surprise promotion of “wearables” (biometric data recording devices) that fit snuggly into the Stargate era.
As if this story could not contain more dark irony, when Tulsi declined to endorse the Iran War in April (whether due to genuine sentiment or reading from a script), Roger Stone stepped in to rescue the damsel in distress?
That’s the Roger Stone who brags about his role as a “dirty tricks artist”. That’s the Roger Stone who learned his political dark arts from mafia lawyer Roy Cohn, a man often accused of participating in child sex trafficking networks. That’s the Roger Stone who orchestrated Trump’s run for Reform Party nominee in 2000 as a tactic for getting George W. Bush over the top against Al Gore. That’s the Roger Stone who describes himself as a “trysexual”. That’s the Roger Stone who…worked for Keith Raniere at the Quasi-Theosophical NXIVM sex cult, both of whose founders studied Scientology, using its base structure as an organizational blueprint.
Stone is currently busy promoting Tulsi as J.D. Vance’s running mate on various podcasts.
There are times when it gets really hard not to think that the script writers just add stories to the news to humiliate the people who still believe that maybe their politician is a real hero.
Let’s build a brief timeline:
June 12, 2026 - Tulsi released information suggesting that the U.S. government funded gain-of-function research at biolabs, including Ukrainian biolabs.
June 16, 2026 - A supposed hacktivist releases a list of members of Thiel’s Dialog society.
June 21, 2026 - The WaPo publishes its shock article on Tulsi’s connections to SIF and Chris Butler, charged with a tale of child sex abuse.
The result is a partisan frenzy. There is so much emotion over the combination of these events, that scarcely few Americans are able to step back and look at the situation soberly and critically. This is Mindwar. This is Hegelian theater. This is the uniparty rebranded and electrified with a level of emotions that prevents anyone from thinking further than their confirmed biases. There will be little rational discussion on social media. The proportion of people who read and do actual organized research is small, and they’re mostly the people who largely stay off social media. And agents are planted in social circles to light fires there. And in all that framework, the so-called “attacks on Tulsi” because she is “over the target” really just serve as good PR. They do not build the framework of the bigger picture as I have done here, and the purpose of a system is what it does. Tulsi’s opposition looks in every way controlled, employing the technique of Weaponized Streissand Effect. And it only works because people have a hard time recognizing reverse psychology, or admitting that they’ve been fooled.
Why?
It’s the Stargate Project. But I’ll dig further into that story in a future article.
Disclaimer: No Freemasons were harmed in the making of this article.
I would like to thank my numerous Hindu friends for all their help over the years in understanding the evolution of Vedic religions and cults. I would also like to say, in all honesty, that I wouldn’t classify myself as “anti-globalist” (or “globalist” or much of any ideology). Some of my concerns are often more about how things get accomplished rather than whether they get accomplished, and who benefits to what degree. Much of global connectivity is great, but only so long as we keep the oligarchs of the Empire from asymmetrically soaking up all the gains from technological progress.
If any members of SIF happen to read all this, I just want to say that it’s okay to question whether Chris Butler is the one and only path to salvation. Also, there are better, healthier, and less humiliating foods than his toenail clippings. Technically speaking, those toenails aren’t even vegetarian.
I found it extremely interesting while working on this article that Chat GPT absolutely refuses to make realistic images of Chris Butler. Out of scores of people I've had it create images of, it has done fairly well almost every time. Butler is the sole exception to this point.
Bravo, Mathew! I deeply appreciate the enormous amount of work you put into these two articles. I don't read the news, so I didn't know about thr WaPo story. I liked Tulsi from 2020, when I first heard of her (mainly because of her anti-war stance and her demolishment of the cackler in the "debate"), but trust has vanished entirely on that score. Hilarious that Roger Stone is promoting her for VP! Finally, that Mikki Willis character can't possibly be for real. Probably arrived in one of those interstellar UFO's..
