Hi Jim,

You said:

There are all sorts of excellent reasons for suspecting that the cult and its friends (i.e. other cults and their protectors) might conspire to spread disinformation or cause other kinds of mischief to harrass us.  That doesn't mean that these suspicions are all true, of course.  But, as we know, some of them sure are.

There's no conspiracy theory and it's not even about paranoia because what's been written is without question a disinformation campaign.  I don't base my conclusion on suspicions because all I have to do is read the articles to see the disinformation -- or as someone, Dermot I think, said "the airbrushing.'  The airbrushing can't hide the real picture from those of us who know what the picture looks like.  The articles just don't match the facts about Rawat.  I can speculate about what this or that writer/editor may or may not be doing or saying behind the scenes, but all it takes is to read the articles and compare that to how the cult really operates based on my own knowledge and experience living in the cult.

You're right, Jim, we are the experts here.

Now I must go cook supper.
