# The laddu controversy: evidence and political incentives

Restored from Instagram stories · 20 September 2024

so, i’ve been seeing this laddu issue and i’ve few observations.

i am writing this after seeing you guys lose your narratives and you’d see some points here which can help you understand what it is.

1. this is a political psyop. a psyop designed to ensure the ruling party retains its core voter base which it has been steadily losing post their third term.

goal: get their voter base united. how do you unite humans who are primitively tribal in nature? appeal to something that they can relate to or already have fears of?

answer? religion.

how deep can you go?

go as good as 1857.

where? in a religious place itself to maximise damage and impact.

outcome? renewed voter base. retain political mileage internally within the party. deal a death blow to opponent parties.

is the plan good? bad for governance and growth.
is it good to retain power? yes

did they implement the plan?

bad. but its working.

what is the average iq of our people here?

*[a point to revisit: a controversy benefiting a political party does not by itself prove that the party planned it. “psyop” is a claim about coordination and intent, and needs evidence beyond the political benefit.]*

the main goal of the psyop is to retain core voter base by invoking religious sentiments (something to gather people under)

now let’s analyse this.

who are the ones who advocate for personal right to food choices? online leftists or any rational person who can think straight and believe in individual freedom.

should we respect personal food choices of those who have their own belief? yes.

does that extend to those whom the leftists fight against for this individual food choice freedom? yes.

should you not defend their individual choice of what they’re eating, the same way you don’t want them to dictate what others should and shouldn’t eat?

it’s hypocrisy if you claim to fight for a cause and oppose it and make fun of the other person just because they were the people whom you were fighting against.

fighting against an ideology and fighting against the people are two different things.

hate them for all you want, but if you’re not a hypocrite- you’ll defend their right to eat what they believe in.

now, i am again reminding you the core intention. it is to retain their core voter base. how do you do that? by dividing people.

when online leftists literally start acting like a hypocrite and make fun of them because of this, you’re essentially doing the bidding of the psyops and started being a part of this game.

you’re essentially playing a role in the psyops.

you’re playing the exact part which they want you to play and you’ve dressed nicely for the same with your memes and have started dancing to their tunes.

i’ve been seeing this patiently and i do enjoy psyops. the job of a political party is to wade through these psyops and handle them. that is why i never defend them.

i am writing this since i got tired of how poorly the opponents of the psyop are dealing this shit with

start with some quick questions.

this is the report that was spread, right?

let’s poke around here.

![The circulated report excerpt discussed in the essay, showing five S-value equations and notes](https://thejasonsamuel.com/assets/instagram/laddu-report-excerpt-crop.jpg)

Report excerpt reproduced from the original story.

1. where’s the letterhead in the lab report? who did it? which lab in which place? when was the date this lab report was done?

2. sample name is ghee? which ghee? where did you source it from? when did you source it? did you track the whole supply chain? in which place of the supply chain did you test the sample? the ghee in the laddu or the ghee before the process is made?

3. the s value refers to saponification value.

sample 2 and 4 deviation is very high
sample 3 and 5 deviation is very low
sample 1 is low deviation.

let’s talk about the adulterants next.

adulteration in ghee is very common.

you allow people to create something of consumer value and if they can extract more value out of it at the expense of the end user, the greedy person will always do it.

the evil ones will cause irreparable harm.

that’s why regulatory body exists to prosecute those who do adulteration in any food substances

one of the primary reason why i am saying that we need to know where it’s sourced from and when? is it from the food? before its made as a food, which part of supply chain etc., since they answer a lot of questions.

because if you test any ghee from the market available to be sold commercially by different manufacturers- you’d find a lot of adulterants in it if you give it to lab test.

now let’s talk about what might have been there.

sample 1 - hydrogenated vegetable oil/vanaspathi (one of the most common adulterant)

sample 2, 4 with high deviation might contain both tallow or palm/partially hydrogenated oils

sample 3,5 with very low deviation might have had synthetic ghee or fillers like starch, etc.,

i wonder how they decided sample 3 with less s-value to contain animal fat since animal fat increases s-values and the only possibility for their conclusion is extremely high quantity of palm oil in which case since we can’t pin point animal fat, we can just remove it from there.

4. and what method are they using in the report to arrive at these?

did they use gc-ms or infrared spectroscopy?

methods mentioned in the note section are all primitive and we don’t know what method they used.

it can be literally thrown to the dustbin if it’s done with primitive methods.

*[a point to check against the reproduced report: are these five separate samples, or five equations applied to a sample? the interpretation also needs verification before assigning particular adulterants to the values. these questions matter to the essay’s own demand for a high standard of evidence.]*

5. who tested these samples? who performed these tests? where’s their signature signing the report?

any control samples tested? when? where is the date, time, lab name? (i am asking this again and again)

did you obtain similar results from other labs and were the results reproduced in the same levels for the same samples without being contaminated?

6. where’s the high bar of proof for something that’s this sensitive?

why are leftists idiots online without dissecting this, feeling the same psyop and playing into it? you should have dissected this, dismissed this and moved onto the next news cycle.

is an idiot larping in special media after the dissection? book them under threatening societal peace and clamp these down brutally.

we need to remove extremism and concentrate on building our country.

atleast if it’s psyops, make it enjoyable smart and challenging.

bjp leadership need to understand how playing theatrics with a local ally like naidu who’s literally stoking this can backfire on them.

their lack of control over their own local party members will bite their asses soon.

nip it in the bud, remove your three ministers, embrace growth and move forward.

we’ve so much to build. lots to do and much to lose.

go back to building.

if they actually found it in the laddu, why didn’t they check batches before cooking?

especially when they’re sourcing it from outside vendors in mass quantity? this is a mandated check.

which official erred there?

idiots.
