Someone calls this embarrising and it is, and from what I gather, the Rawat cult is shameless in pretending to have Rawat speak at functions sponsored by the UN.  It is, of course, a pack of lies, and Linda Pascotto, or whoever is writing those press releases, should be ashamed.

First, we know from our own research that Rawat's CULT and not the UN, paid for the Herbst Theater at the event at which Rawat allegedly apeared.  I have seen no evidence that the event was advertised to anyone, was open to the public, or even that any more than a few people attended this "event" if it in fact occurred.

Let's look at this press release.  It is revealing as far as the Rawat cult deceit is concerned.  It's appalling the lengths they will go to.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Responding to an invitation from the United Nations 60th Anniversary Committee...  Welcoming the attendees, Bill McCarthy, Administrator of the UN 60th Anniversary Committee, said:

Comment:  Bill McCarthy is a PREMIE.  He works for some non-profit media outfit in San Francisco, and heads something called the "Unity Foundation," which has, as one of its founding board members, somebody called "Ponderosa Pine."  You get the drift.  I have no information on whether Bill does good things or not in this organization, it might well do so.  It appears to have good intentions, at least. But it does seem it was used to do this facade of a UN event in some way, although Bill is likely wearing a few hats in this instance. 

I think Bill was behind getting Rawat on the cable access channel on Thursday afternoons, I think right after the atheiests and I think Bill has a cable access show called "Positive Spin" or something like that.  There is no evidence that the "UN 60th Anniversary Committee" is anything more than a made-up, fake, cult facade to pretend that Rawat was actually invited by somebody related to the UN, instead of just renting a hall and pretending something important was going on.   If it is any more than that, I can find no verifiable evidence.

Prem Rawat addressed on June 24th a distinguished audience of diplomats, and government and civic leaders

Notice that these 'diplomats and government and civic leaders" are not named.  One would assume the definition of that those categories are, were quite creative and broad.   You can be certain that any politician or "diplomat" with any kind of credentials who was at whatever that "event' was, would have been named in this press release.

    Welcoming Prem Rawat, Astrid Stromberg, President of the UN Association of Northern California, said:

There apparently is such an organization, although Astrid appears to be from Norway, so I'm not sure why she is President of this No. Cal outfit.  It seems to be something fairly inactive, like that organization in Thailand.  Whether they are premies or not, or just duped into this, or maybe they were paid, I do not know.

The whole this is a major, major, joke and appears to have happened soley for the purpose of Linda Pascotto and TPRF writing disingenuious, deceitful press releases about it.

I need to now vomit and go take a shower.
