Whoa, who knew?
"Vivek Ramaswamy, a Republican leader, and Usha Bala Chilukuri 'Vance', wife of Vice President JD Vance, are cousins whose mothers, Lakshmi Chilukuri and her sister Getha Ramaswamy, are deeply tied to America’s elite."
It's all in the 'Bloodline' family!

Podesta’s Power Puppet: Neera Tanden
By Our Spirit on June 26, 2025
The Puppet of Power: Neera Tanden’s (Mrs. Autopen) Enslavement to John Podesta and the CAP Empire’s Corrupt Donors
The Autopen Scandal Exposes a Criminal Conspiracy
In June 2025, a seismic revelation shattered public trust in the constitutional republic: Neera Tanden, former White House operative and CEO of the Center for American Progress (CAP), confessed to wielding President Joe Biden’s autopen from October 2021 to May 2023. This device, used to forge Biden’s signature on executive orders, pardons, and critical documents, was controlled by Tanden, an unelected loyalist to John Podesta. This scandal unveils a criminal conspiracy: Tanden, enslaved to Podesta’s progressive machine, funneled public funds to CAP’s elite donors—corporations, billionaires, unions, and foreign entities—who dictate Democratic and RINO Republican agendas. Her actions, tied to CAP and its propaganda arm ThinkProgress, constitute fraud and deception, demanding her immediate arrest and that of her donor accomplices who profited from this betrayal of the republic.
This post reveals Tanden’s role as Podesta’s puppet, executing a donor-driven agenda through CAP and ThinkProgress. Their interlocked funding network disqualified Tanden from handling public funds. Her refusal to recuse herself from autopen duties, despite glaring conflicts, defrauded the American people. Every document she signed is void, and justice requires Tanden and her donor conspirators face prison for undermining the republic. Americans must also recognize the broader context: Indian-Americans, including Tanden, Vivek Ramaswamy, and Usha Bala Chilukuri Vance, have surged into positions of power, with family ties like those of Ramaswamy and Vance—whose mothers are sisters—amplifying their influence in critical sectors like biotechnology.
The Indian-American Ascendancy: A Reminder of Power’s Nexus
Indian-Americans, numbering 5.1 million and comprising 1.5% of the U.S. population, wield disproportionate influence in the constitutional republic. Indiaspora reports over 150 Indian-Americans held significant federal positions by 2023, up from 60 under Obama’s second term. The Biden administration appointed more than 130, including Vice President Kamala Harris, the first Indian-American vice president, and Neera Tanden, who controlled the autopen and led the Domestic Policy Council. Other key figures include Vinay Reddy (speechwriter), Ashish Jha (COVID-19 advisor), Sonia Aggarwal (climate advisor), and Vedant Patel (State Department deputy spokesperson).
Notably, Vivek Ramaswamy, a prominent Republican leader and biotech entrepreneur, and Usha Bala Chilukuri Vance, Second Lady and wife of Vice President JD Vance, are cousins whose mothers, Lakshmi Chilukuri and her sister, are deeply tied to America’s elite. Lakshmi Chilukuri, a marine biologist and provost at UC San Diego’s Sixth College, is actively involved in biotechnology, pioneering diversity-focused courses on race, ethnicity, and gender in biology and medicine. Her work on the university’s biological sciences diversity committee aligns with biotech’s cutting edge, influencing health policy and research. Ramaswamy, a former presidential candidate, leverages his biotech background to shape Republican policy, while Usha Vance, a Yale Law graduate and former litigator, navigates political life, strengthening U.S.-India ties. Their familial connection, rooted in Lakshmi Chilukuri’s biotech expertise, underscores the Indian-American grip on power.
Beyond government, Indian-Americans lead 16 Fortune 500 companies, generating $978 billion annually, with CEOs like Sundar Pichai (Google) and Satya Nadella (Microsoft). Seven Indian-Americans—Suhas Subramanyam, Ami Bera, Ro Khanna, Raja Krishnamoorthi, Pramila Jayapal, Shri Thanedar, and Senator Jeremy Cooney—won congressional seats in 2024. Indian-Americans hold 4.4% of senior government positions despite being 0.6% of adult citizens. This overrepresentation, exemplified by Tanden, Ramaswamy, and Vance, demands scrutiny of their influence.
The Making of a Loyal Operative: Tanden’s Rise Under Podesta’s Control
Neera Tanden, born September 10, 1970, in Bedford, Massachusetts, to Indian immigrant parents, grew up shaped by hardship. Her parents’ 1975 divorce left her mother, Maya, on welfare, forging Tanden’s progressive leanings. By 1981, at age 11, she backed Ronald Reagan, an odd prelude to her Democratic allegiance. In 1992, fresh from UCLA, she joined Bill Clinton’s campaign. By 1996, with a Yale Law Juris Doctor, she served in the Clinton White House as Associate Director for Domestic Policy and advisor to Hillary Clinton. Here, John Podesta, Clinton’s Chief of Staff, molded her into a loyal operative.
In 2003, Podesta founded CAP to rival conservative think tanks, recruiting Tanden as Senior Vice President for Domestic Policy. She rose to Chief Operating Officer by 2010 and, in November 2011, succeeded Podesta as president and CEO, also leading the Center for American Progress Action Fund, which runs ThinkProgress. Podesta orchestrated her rise, binding her to his vision. An X post declared: “Neera Tanden close Hillary supporter has been in the background for 25+ years. She was first hired then trained by John Podesta to run Center for American Progress”.
Tanden’s devotion to Podesta extended to Obama’s administration, where she shaped the Affordable Care Act, and to Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign. Her return to CAP in February 2025 cements her role as Podesta’s enforcer, executing a donor-driven agenda at the republic’s expense.
The CAP-ThinkProgress Empire: A Donor-Fueled Cabal
CAP, under Tanden’s command, dictates Democratic policy on climate, healthcare, and equity. Its 501(c)(4) arm, the Center for American Progress Action Fund, operates ThinkProgress, amplifying CAP’s agenda. Both rely on a shared donor pool—corporate titans, billionaires, unions, and foreign players—forming a cabal that wields unelected power. This network, interlocked between CAP and ThinkProgress, drives Democratic and RINO Republican priorities, disqualifying Tanden from handling public funds.
CAP’s Donor Cabal
In 2022, CAP drew 97% of its budget from individuals and foundations. Donors giving over $1 million included:
Bloomberg Philanthropies: Michael Bloomberg’s outfit pushes Democratic urban and climate policies.
Chan Zuckerberg Initiative: Mark Zuckerberg’s fund profits from tech-friendly laws.
Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation: Its health focus supports Democratic mandates.
Open Society Foundations: George Soros’s vehicle fuels open borders and social justice.
Sandler Foundation: Tied to financial reform, it backs CAP’s economic agenda.
Ford Foundation: A progressive stalwart, it funds CAP’s equity initiatives.
Corporate donors, under 3% of CAP’s budget, include Apple, Google, Microsoft, Northrop Grumman, and DRS Technologies, securing federal contracts under Democratic regimes. Unions like SEIU ($100,000) and AFT ($50,000) tie CAP to labor interests. The United Arab Emirates donated $2.5 million in 2015, exposing foreign influence. Individuals like Joan and Irwin Jacobs ($200,000) and Robert Rubin ($50,000) link CAP to Democratic elites. These donors seek policy sway, per InfluenceWatch https://www.influencewatch.org/non-profit/center-for-american-progress-cap/.
ThinkProgress and CAP Action’s Shared Funding
The Center for American Progress Action Fund shares CAP’s donor pool. Contributors include:
Annie E. Casey Foundation: Aligns with CAP’s social policies.
George Soros: Pledged $3 million in 2003 to found CAP Action.
Corporate Donors: Google, Apple, NBC Universal (no corporate funds in 2023).
Individuals: Wendy and Jim Abrams, Ben Barnes, Harold Ickes.
ThinkProgress pushes donor priorities—climate, labor, immigration—without disclosing funding, shielding the interlocked interests Tanden orchestrated.
Political Alignment: Democrats and RINO Republicans
CAP’s donors court RINO Republicans. The Peter G. Peterson Foundation aligns with RINOs like Rob Portman on fiscal policy. Boeing and Lockheed, CAP’s 2013 Business Alliance members, profit from bipartisan military budgets backed by RINOs like Susan Collins. This donor overlap extends CAP’s influence, amplifying its control over the republic.
Tanden advanced policies like the Affordable Care Act and climate rules, enriching donors like the Gates Foundation and Google. ThinkProgress smeared conservative foes while sparing RINO allies, protecting the donor cabal’s bipartisan interests.
The Autopen Conspiracy: Fraud at the Republic’s Core
The autopen scandal is Tanden’s crime against the republic. As White House staff secretary from October 2021 to May 2023, Tanden admitted in June 2025 to controlling Biden’s autopen, signing executive orders, pardons, and documents. Her CAP ties expose a deliberate fraud to enrich her donor network.
Conflicts of Interest: A Criminal Breach
Federal ethics laws require recusal from conflicts https://www.oge.gov/. Tanden’s CAP donors—Google, Soros, Northrop Grumman—profited from Biden’s policies. Violations include:
Tech Giants: Apple, Google, Microsoft secured antitrust leniency and AI grants, signed by Tanden.
Defense Contractors: Northrop Grumman, DRS Technologies reaped billions from defense budgets Tanden authorized.
Unions: SEIU, AFT gained from labor policies, including NLRB appointments Tanden signed.
Soros’s Open Society: Its immigration agenda aligned with border policies Tanden enacted.
Tanden’s refusal to recuse violated ethics laws. CAP’s influence made her involvement a clear conflict. An X post raged: “Neera Tanden used Biden’s autopen to sign pardons without his knowledge—a blatant abuse of power!”.
The Depth of Deception
Tanden testified she sent decision memos to Biden’s team but didn’t know who gave final clearance—a calculated cover-up. House Oversight Chairman James Comer revealed eight executive orders were autopen-signed while Biden was in the White House. The Oversight Project uncovered six pardons signed on December 30, 2022, while Biden golfed in the U.S. Virgin Islands, implicating Tanden.
This was fraud. Tanden, Podesta’s operative, used the autopen to enrich CAP’s donors, bypassing Biden’s authority. Blaze Media called her placement by Ron Klain a “grave error,” hinting at a conspiracy. The American people were misled into believing Biden governed, while Tanden executed Podesta’s agenda.
The Case for Arrest: Fraud Nullifies All
Fraud voids judgments under U.S. law [18 U.S.C. § 1001]. Tanden’s autopen actions, tainted by conflicts, constitute:
Fraud: Forging Biden’s signature, deceiving Congress and the public.
Ethics Violations: Advancing donor interests without recusal.
Deception: Hiding her control, subverting the republic.
Every executive order, pardon, and funding allocation Tanden signed is null. Affected citizens deserve treble damages. Tanden’s arrest is mandatory for betraying her oath to the Constitution.
Accomplice Donors: Partners in Crime
CAP’s donors knew Tanden’s influence and profited. Google, Soros’s Open Society, and Northrop Grumman gained from Biden’s policies. Individuals like Robert Rubin and Joan Jacobs funded CAP’s sway. These donors are accomplices, liable for aiding Tanden’s fraud.
Podesta’s Masterplan: A Puppetmaster’s Control
John Podesta engineered Tanden’s rise. His CAP, founded in 2003, was a vehicle for progressive dominance, with Tanden as enforcer. WikiLeaks’ 2016 Podesta emails exposed her loyalty, smearing Bernie Sanders to protect Clinton. Her 2011 CAP leadership was Podesta’s design. An X post noted: “Tanden was also President of Soros-funded Center for American Progress. She served in both Obama and Clinton administrations & helped Hillary hide her email server”.
Podesta’s donor ties—Soros, Bloomberg—mirror Tanden’s conflicts. His Biden climate role signals a coordinated effort to plant loyalists. The autopen scandal is Podesta’s plan: control the republic through operatives.
ThinkProgress: The Propaganda Machine
ThinkProgress, under Tanden’s oversight, pushed donor agendas—climate, labor, immigration—while attacking opponents. Tanden’s alleged 2008 assault on editor Faiz Shakir for questioning Clinton’s Iraq War vote exposed her ruthlessness https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/22/us/politics/neera-tanden-punch.html.
RINO Collusion: Bipartisan Corruption
CAP’s donors court RINOs. The Peterson Foundation aligns with Mitt Romney on fiscal policy. Boeing and Lockheed profit from military budgets backed by Susan Collins. Tanden’s autopen actions enriched these interests, disqualifying her from public fund oversight.
Clue: Look to the City of London and its controller: The Pilgrims Society to understand who controlled the Biden White House. Neera Tanden was a flunky.
Call to Action: Justice for the Republic
Neera Tanden’s autopen conspiracy betrayed the constitutional republic. Her enslavement to Podesta and CAP’s donor cabal disqualified her from public authority. Every document she signed is void, demanding reversal and reparations. The rise of Indian-Americans, including Tanden, Vivek Ramaswamy, and Usha Vance—tied through their mothers, Lakshmi Chilukuri and her sister, in biotechnology and beyond—amplifies the stakes. We demand:
Tanden’s Arrest: For fraud, deception, and ethics violations under 18 U.S.C. § 1001.
Donor Arrests: Google, Soros, Northrop Grumman, Rubin, and others for aiding fraud.
Policy Nullification: Void all autopen-signed orders and pardons.
Congressional Probe: Investigate CAP’s donor influence and Indian-American overrepresentation.
The republic deserves a government free from unelected operatives like Tanden, who serve donors, not citizens. Justice must be swift.
