Sathya Sai Baba 84th Birthday Celebrations. Will 21st Century India Tolerat
2009-11-22 02:03:00 Unimaginable splurgings of pomp and conspicuous waste attend Sathya Sai Baba's imperial-like birthday celebrations. The global financial meltdown will not have melted down his vast reserves of gold. Many politicians from right across India's political spectrum fall at Sathya Sai Baba's feet. Likewise industrialists, judges, many of the top brass from the armed services and police, and so forth. We know, too, via strong former devotee contacts with those who have roles at high levels, that, though there are those in foreign service who regret it, diplomats have been told "not to rock the boat" on the Sathya Sai Baba issue. This is actually a great disservice to India, because Sathya Sai Baba is NOT India!
On Leaving the Sathya Sai Baba Cult ? Ex Leaders and Rank-and-File
2009-11-20 11:43:00 In 1999, came the publication (August-September) of three articles in a piece entitled: Sathya Sai Baba Exposed. These had been taken up from other sources by the editor, Duncan Roads, who, quite separately and via his own sources in Australia, had suffered his own disillisionment in Sai Baba. A person close to me, who knew well that I had deafened my ears to anything inimical to Sathya Sai Baba, strongly urged me to read these articles, one of which was by the (then) head of the Australian Sathya Sai Organization, Terry Gallagher, an agricultural scientist and businessman of Kyama, in the state of New South Wales on Australia's eastern seaboard. Terry Gallagher?s had come to realise ? between 1986 and 1993 (the latter being the year of the grisly police executions in Sai Baba?s bedroom) that grave matters had been profoundly covered up, not only by the ashram officials but by local, state and central governments. Those who eventually leave commonly do not leave suddenly. There ...

Glen Meloy (?Standing up for truth and goodness?) ? In Memoriam
2009-11-18 09:55:00 Glen Meloy, of Palm Desert, California, a global coordinator in the effort to expose Sathya Sai Baba and his worldwide cult, died of cancer on January 1, 2005. He was born May 3, 1930 DesMoines, Iowa. Since early 2000, Glen Meloy was a major leader of a coalition of former Sai Baba devotees and others, known as The Exposé, which calls for formal investigation of alleged crimes by this guru and the cover-up perpetrated by his organization.
Sathya Sai Baba Critic Serguei Badaev: An Incisive Voice of Conscience From
2009-11-02 11:16:00 Serguei Badaev was ex-President of the Sathya Sai Organization's Moscow centre, ex-deputy National Coordinator and National Sathya Sai Education in Human Values (SSEHV) Coordinator for Russia. Serguei Badaev is an incisive writer with a professional background (the physical sciences), whose writings critical of the Sai sect - no less than those of others who have raised critical questions - receive no answer from Sathya Sai Baba and his officials. Nor do they explain how those with years of loving, sacrificial and dedicated service to the Sathya Sai Baba organization (what to speak in their own professions and wider communities) should, practically overnight, become demons, naysayers, and defamers.

Inner Ignoring of ?Warning Flags? Prior To Dissent From A Sect
2009-10-28 22:12:00 There is an ignoring, while one is still a member a questionable group, of what apostates, looking back on their process, have called 'warning flags'. The rationalising and psychological denial factors loom, but not so large as to cause deeper questioning and leave-taking. These are phenomena widely encountered in the reports of dissenters from sects. I have written of this aspect in an article, where I wrote: "Since leaving Sathya Sai Baba in October 1999, I have counted around 10 major ?flags? that I myself ignored. The realization of most of these resistances only occurred over time. Coming out of the spell?s grip is a painful, arduous process". See: A Cult?s Powerful Grip.

Robert Priddy and Barry Pittard On Dr G. Venkataraman ? Sathya Sai Baba Glo
2009-10-17 23:16:00 The Sathya Sai Organisation's Deception and Propaganda Expose "The foes of the 'open society' (Sir Karl Popper's term) are those who use its very openness to achieve their closed and devious ends. Sai Baba and his highly authoritarian and cultist organisation have such ends, which critics have tried to make known. Its foremost leaders silence all those who question it- and never face substantive criticisms. For the first time - after six years of pained and guilty silence - since hundreds of long-term devotees left it in disgust - the Sathya Sai Organisation has found it necessary to try to defuse the debate about Sathya Sai Baba's alleged crimes, deceits and fraudulence. Dr. Venkataraman's tendentious cover-up article expresses untruths which have long circulated within the cult, giving an opportunity to confront him with facts and truth"
Lord Paul Swarj Under British Police Investigation
2009-10-12 23:45:00 I have written of the Sathya Sathya Sai Baba-implicated and high-profile British Labour Government Minister, Tony McNulty MP, and police investigations into allegations of rorting the British taxpayer. The very wealthy Lord Paul of Marylebone (See Wikipedia note below) is now under police investigation for the same reason. In probing Lord Paul, the British media might like, while investigating, to see whether Paul has been assisting the Sathya Sai Organization, as has been Tony McNulty. Both have long been powerfully influential in the British Labour Party.
Michelle Goldberg, US Author-Journalist, on Sathya Sai Baba (1)
2009-10-07 23:53:00 It is one of the gambits of pro Sathya Sai Baba activists like Indulal Shah (when he was active), Dr G.Venkataraman and his virtual counterpart Gerald Moreno, to portray highly reputed media journalists as sensationalist, and so on. In their offensive and denunciatory style, they fail to credit world leading media journalists, and the researchers as well, ...
Concerning Attempts To Contact Former Sathya Baba Followers
2009-10-04 01:11:00 Concerning Attempts To Contact Former Sathya Baba Followers In the case of these approaches, carefully vetting is performed so as to screen off the proven attempts of Gerald Moreno and others to infiltrate or otherwise undermine former devotee work to bring about proper third party investigation of Sathya Sai Baba and core components of his international Sathya Sai Organization. It has been important for us to take advice from outstanding abuse professionals, lawyers, and so on. The temerity, and in some cases the naivity, of some requests to us for even the most sensitive information might stagger those who had not become used to it.
Sathya Sai Baba and Dr G.Venkataraman: Will They Disavow Their Idi Amin Fon
2009-10-01 23:09:00 Deputy head of the international Satahya Sai Organization and Head of Sai Global Radio G. Venkataraman?s ?Mr Idi Amin? Report (/Journals/Vol_05/01JAN07/11-pr-asanthi-diary) stands as an appalling affront to those who suffered at this monstrous dictator's hands. Note how Venkataraman, on Sai Global Radio, refers to Mr Idi Amin. I may add that it is interesting that Amin claimed to have a direct line to God. Did he have in mind, specifically, Sathya Sai Baba? Perhaps Amin scholars may have something among their files, and can let us all know. Here is what G. Venkataraman wrote:
Dr G. Venkataraman, Sathya Sai Baba?s Nuclear Boon Companion
2009-09-29 00:18:00 Robert Priddy is the former long-time head of the Sathya Sai Organization in Norway and a retired philosopher in the Social Sciences, University of Oslo. He has written insightfully on the extraordinary, often procrustean efforts of Sathya Sai Baba's head of Puttaparthi propaganda programs to rationalise his beliefs in Sathya Sai Baba. Though not a physical (actually, nuclear) scientist like Dr G. Venkataraman, he has an abiding interest in the sciences, and how a certain variety of scientists, in a great minority but with unfortunate influence far beyond their importance, falsely use science to buttress up their religious claims. The following information may be of particular value for journalistic and scholarly investigators, and also those institutions and agencies which the Sathya Sai cult in many countries attempts to influence - but without portraying their real agendas. For those who may like to hunt and peck among Priddy's writings on G. Venkataraman, I have excerpted fro...
Most Former Sathya Sai Devotees Respond Without Hatred
2009-09-26 01:40:00 Here is a quite typical note from a defender of Sathya Sai Baba, and the reply from one who is no long partial to him. The writer had written a number of emails to the recipient, who did not retaliate to any of the points. Some of the language of the other emails was couched more unkindly than anything in the following. The former devotee responded because of the basic decency and sincerity of the person who wrote:

Reply To Sathya Sai Baba Defender
2009-09-21 02:22:00 A former devotee received a note from one clearly upset at dissent from Sathya Sai Baba. Its mood is fairly typical of emails former followers receive. It may be noted that, apart from a minority of former Sai devotees who don't know their manners, there is a strong commitment to courteousy (just as, indeed, there is among Sai devotees too). The recipient responded as follows:
?BILD? Story. ?Guru Wants Sex? (Sathya Sai Baba)
2009-09-13 02:24:00 The article below, in which Jens Sethi recounts being sexually abused by Sathya Sai Baba, is from the magazine 'BILD' of Munich on 21st August, 2000. Wikipedia states that 'BILD' is "the best-selling newspaper in Europe and has the sixth-largest circulation worldwide". About a year earlier, NEXUS Magazine (Australia), August-September 1999, featured three articles on Sathya Sai Baba, containing serious allegations. One of these was the testimony of a German husband and wife, Jens and Gurprit Sethi who had been devotees, but had left him.The other articles were the testimony of Terry Gallagher, (who, on principle, had resigned as head of the Sathya Sai Organization in Australia) and Hans de Kraker, also Australia, who had likewise investigated allegations of Sathya Sai Baba's serial sexual abuse of boys and young men. Kraker was, for a number of years, head of the Western Canteen at Puttaparthi
?What about the miracles?? Response To One Drawn By Sathya Sai Baba
2009-09-06 03:53:00 Recently, a writer, who had witnessed inexplicable phenomena occurring at a Sai devotee venue, asked me: what about the (Sathya Sai Baba-related) miracles that are happening around the world? I responded in terms close to the following. I shall now include some relevant links: The question is fair. It is one that many who have left Sathya Sai Baba have pondered over. I have not seen any satisfactory explanation. Typically, there is a quality of manifestation that cannot be explained. In my view, these phenomena are far removed from phenomena of the Ouija board type, what to mention many another variety studied by parapsychologists. I think that neither devotee nor non-devotee explanations can do justice to phenomena about which, in the scientific, rational sense, we can say very little. There is that arresting statement in the philosopher Paul Wittgenstein's 'Tractatus': "Whereof we cannot speak, thereof we must be silent".
Donors and Would-be Donors Beware (Sathya Sai Central Trust Example)
2009-08-30 01:34:00 As the years pass, more evidence emerges of the very non-divine manner in which Sathya Sai Baba and his financial wing collect vast funds - particularly from wealthy donors. As with scams the world over, there are methods of 'spotting' - in this case, by ashram staff of visitors most likely to donate large sums. The admixture of 'miracles' - such as Sai Baba's 'materializing' of expensive rings or pendants etc., for the wealthy - is central to setting up of these traps. This operation involves the participation of the registration office, as well as Sathya Sai Baba's close servitors, many of them wealthy or those who have given away their wealth to him. Criminals and police forces often refer to this type of spotting as finding the 'mark' or victim to be set up. Donors and Would-be Donors Beware There are two classes of individual, and in some cases institutions, who have every reason to be looking at these issues. First, those who have already been donors to Sathya Sa...
Gerald Moreno?s Attacks On Individuals and Institutions Critical of Sathya
2009-08-28 14:57:00 How could any Sathya Sai Baba devotee - of those many who are decent and sincere - bear to read Gerald Joe Moreno's writings? The constant welter of the latter's constant, strident, vituperative and demeaning posts to the Internet can, even at a quick glance, be gauged by the titles of but a small portion of his links, which, for convenience, are posted here: Partial List of Gerald Moreno's Vast Postings Contra Sathya Sai Baba Critics.

Brian D.Steel Updates References To Kevin R.D.Shepherd Writings
2009-08-25 03:25:00 Brian D.Steel, who has written in-depth on matters of Sathya Sai Baba-related bibliography, has just sent a note. I think that these references below can be read as a resource in company with my blog of yesterday: Kevin R.D. Shepherd Exposes Sathya Sai Baba Defender Gerald Moreno Brian Steel writes: I have just amended 2 articles to include references to 3 more of Kevin R.D. Shepherd's contributions, the latest from his splendid new website: http://www.kevinrdshepherd.info-
R.D. Shepherd Exposes Sathya Sai Baba Defender Gerald Moreno
2009-08-24 01:43:00 I refer to the independent British scholar Kevin R.D. Shepherd. His older website - http://citizeninitiative.com/ - cites academics of renown who have supported his work, such as the eminent British psychologist, Robert H.Thouless, (1894-1984)who wrote the best-selling "Straight and Crooked Thinking". Shepherd has just put online another website - www.kevinrdshepherd.info. It deals with topics on which he has written widely - philosophy, religion and psychology. Although Kevin Shepherd has never had affiliation with Sathya Sai Baba or his worldwide movement, nor friendship with former followers of Sathya Sai Baba, one section deals with Gerald 'Joe' Moreno, a highly aggressive, vituperative, defamatory pro Sathya Sai Baba defender, who works with assistance - they in the background - from prominents well as rank-and-file Sai Baba personnel in different parts of the world.
New Zealand Lawyer Exposes Official Cover Up of Killings In Sathya Sai Baba
2009-08-20 01:33:00 Long before worldwide allegations of Sathya Sai Baba?s serial sexual abuse of boys and young men began to surface in earnest ? circa AD 2000 ? notable individuals shocked by signs of cover up ? started to analyze situations, and leave the Sathya Sai Baba camp. For an example of early investigators, see the article by Warren C. Pyke LLN (Hons.) LLM (VUW), Barrister, New Zealand 3-3-1993: Sathya Sai Baba Murders Evidence (A New Zealand Barrister Analyses Police Evidence). Another earlier investigator of various serious allegations against Sathya Sai Baba was Terry Gallagher, an agricultural scientist and businessman who, in consequence of his findings, resigned as head of the Sathya Sai Organization in Australia. See: Terry Gallagher?s Testimony
Sathya Sai Baba Man Gerald Moreno and Fact-Changing
2009-08-19 01:44:00 I direct my readers to an article just posted by Robert Priddy, retired academic of the University of Oslo and former head of the Sathya Sai Organization in Norway. He writes: ... "the pro-Sai extremist Joe Moreno claims that ?anti-Sai activists? withheld the transcript of the second part of a phone conversation which David Bailey had with Thomas Wiehe of Sweden. This is entirely untrue. Both parts of the phone conversation were transcribed from the start. Surely one of the worst cases of Internet libel is that of the Gerald 'Joe' Moreno. It is known that he cooperates with those around Sathya Sai Baba, both prominent and rank-and-file individuals. That Sai devotees would support one who so constantly uses language of a kind that Sai Baba's own discourses abundantly inveigh against more than suggests a desperation by many of his devotees to see their guru defended at any cost.
Sathya Sai Baba On Magnetism. Science or Sai-ence?
2009-08-12 02:39:00 Sathya Sai Baba is wildly at odds with some of the most basic scientific facts. His jumping between from physical to metaphysical notions, vague at best, are at grave odds with the physics being taught in his colleges and universities - and in any respectable classroom. In an early blog of mine in 2007 - A Great Deceiver ? Laughable But Still Dangerous - I wrote: "Sai Baba?s many scientist followers must have to block their ears or don magical-thinking hearing aids when he opines on matters scientific. Some of his pronouncements are comic, to be sure. But the smile disappears from one?s face when considering that Sai Baba?s devotees number many leaders in the top power echelons of politics, government, the sciences, the judiciary, diplomacy, industry, finance, the arts, medicine, and so on. He speaks, for example, of the nature of magnetism" ..... Since then, Sai Baba's critical commentator's have noted many past and current absurdities .....
Senior Indian Policeman (Rtd) Speaks Out About Sathya Sai Baba Murders Cove
2009-08-07 12:11:00 As the years have passed, the Government of India and the Government of Andhra Pradesh have not been able to silence all police personnel. One who has refused to shut up is a senior, retired policeman V. J. Ram, whose work as a detective won him a Presidential Medal. He has spoken out against the massive cover up of the police killings in Sathya Sai Baba's private quarters, when Sathya Sai Baba and his brother (the late) Janaki Ramaiah (who was on the Sathya Sai Central Trust) had charge of events soon after the slayings occurred.Those who wish to know more about V.J. Ram's work are welcome to contact me (my details are obtainable by clicking on the tab - Barry Pittard
Brian Steel On John Hislop?s 27 Years as Sathya Sai Baba?s Spokesman
2009-07-18 02:07:00 In my recent note Brian Steel On Sathya Sai Baba?s Credibility Gap. John Hislop Contributions, I drew attention to Brian Steel's scholarly article which deals with a seminal figure, Jack Hislop, in the spread of the Sathya Sai Baba movement: Sathya Sai Baba?s credibility gap: Contributions by John Hislop. (Brian Steel January 2009). Steel refers to the controversial Walter Cowan ?resurrection? in 1971, mentioning the refuting evidence presented by Professor Erlendur araldsson , B. Premanand, (the late) Professor Dale Beyerstein. For decades, these critical points met with no satisfactory explanations from the Sathya Sai Baba camp, and yet a great number of devotees rejoice in this so-called miracle of resurrection, as they do in so many 'miracles' of their guru, which, however, keep on being disproved by film footage of excellent provenance
Prominent Indians Berate India?s Rife Political Corruption
2009-07-06 00:56:00 Many are the intellectually extremely dishonest ploys used by those who fanatically oppose the exposure of Sathya Sai Baba and core leaders of his sect. One of these ruses intended to blacken those who have stood for truth for a great many years of their lives is that former devotees who speak out are "India bashers". To point out how he and his key servitors have only deepened the corruption that is rife in India greatly displeases them. They do not stop to consider that there are forces - many of them tremendously courageous - who criticise India from within. The fact that Sathya Sai Baba's apologists will not face is that Sai Baba has many times said that he and his Sathya Sai Organization are going to save the world, mostly within his own lifetime. He has failed.
Sathya Sai Baba Sect: A Crisis of Trust
2009-07-05 00:01:00 One of the distinctive phenomena that independently confirm voices critical of Sathya Sai Baba and his cult is that his movement is eroding from within. A glance at each of these older articles in conjunction with the other highlights two important facts:
A Cult?s Powerful Grip. (Sathya Sai Baba Sect Example)
2009-06-29 03:16:00 Since leaving Sathya Sai Baba in October 1999, I have counted around 10 major 'flags' that I myself ignored. The realization of most of these resistances only occurred over time. Coming out of the spell's grip is a painful, arduous process. Approached with rigorous self-questioning and the company of loving, caring and insightful individuals, the process can be full of learning, personal renewal, and a sense of release from hard-held self-concepts. One confronts oneself, far more than anyone or anything else.
Iran Outrages Show Importance of Film and Other Evidence Against Oppression
2009-06-25 13:53:00 The violent suppression by security forces in Iran, just as the oppression practised on a vast scale by China, reminds one of the importance of photographic exposure of various kinds of abuses. Techology is at the forefront in exposing outrages against and oppression of human beings. Witness Iran right at this moment. As a result of BBC, Doordarshan and other footage, fake miracles of Sathya Sai Baba have been exposed

?Black Sheep? Of Sweden?s Nobel Family Called By Ba-Ba (Sathya Sai Baba)
2009-06-14 05:08:00 One of Sathya Sai Baba's many hugely expensive and major Sai propaganda efforts has been the setting up of Sai Global Harmony via WorldSpace International Satellite Radio Service. It broadcasts 24/7 to many countries. A director of WorldSpace is Dr Michael Nobel, who, contrary to long-uncorrected statements (e.g., in Wikipedia) by Sai Baba activists, is NOT the son of the Nobel Peace founder Alfed Nobel ? who died in 1896! But he, though widely considered 'black sheep' of the Nobel family, has answered the Ba-ba call of Sathya Sai Baba who, absurdly, told the Australian journalist, that when Jesus, the Lamb of God, called 'Ba-Ba', he was referring to Sathya Sai Baba! The Nobel 'black sheep' is making more than a bleat or too but has extended his international satellite broadcasting corporation to send Sai Baba propaganda across the air-waves of the world.
BBC and Other Film Footage Shows India?s Top Guru Sathya Sai Baba Faking Mi
2009-06-10 23:16:00 The Sathya Sai Baba Organization has tried to stem a major exit from congregations via a role it internally refers to as 'the waverer's committee'. This wealthy and highly authoritarian organization, which seeks to infiltrate mainstream civic, religious, education and political venues, will not be so frank as to show the waverers the following videos. For the Sathya Sai Organizations recruiting drives in luxurious venues, See: ?Secret Swami? Cult Recruits At Prime Public Venues. For the dangers posed in its infiltration of unsuspecting communities, while concealing its agendas, and often from its own rank-and-file, See, Sathya Sai Baba Sect and Its Hidden Agendas. A Caution To truthfully go through these stark video revelations of Sathya Sai Baba cheating with his (so-called) miracles is to see why Sathya Sai Baba defenders like Dr G. Venkataraman and Gerald Moreno have raised profound smokescreens and engineered such markedly distorted 'pictures' of hundreds of former Sathy...
Attacks By Hooligans Against Foreign Students In Australia
2009-06-05 01:06:00 In relation to attacks against foreign students in Australia, there are some tough questions. The issue is complex, and not as portrayed either by certain sections of the Indian media and zealots nor by an isolated but powerful and disgraceful class of radio biggots and their poorly-educated audiences we have in Australia, known as 'shock jocks'. No amount of misrepresentation can alter the facts that most Australians do not engage in nor approve of racism. Many who have migrated to this country from a great many countries attest to this fact. I offer some questions - very preliminary - that I think my fellow Australians will need to consider:
Attacks Against Indian Students in Melbourne, Australia
2009-06-02 00:16:00 There have been attacks against Indian students in Melbourne, Australia. Yesterday's news reported what is alleged to have been a peaceful demonstration waylaid by a small number of anti-social elements. This blog recently reported Channel NineMSN's exposure of security personnel violence against protesting staff and disabled clients at SWARA in Brisbane. Reports that suggest the Melbourne protest was derailed by over-reaction of authorities, brought back eery reminders of those accounts which a number of those involved (including those who remain Sathya Sai Baba devotees) have given.
Sathya Sai Baba Man, Gerald Moreno: Islamic Terrorism Issue
2009-06-01 03:01:00 One of Gerald Moreno’s myriad character assassination forays against former Sai Baba devotee critics (and others like the Indian Rationalist B.Premanand and the independent British scholar Kevin Shepherd) has been the attempt to make it seem as though I would incite Islamic terrorism. In fact, I had long ago written a cautionary piece showing how terrorists might regard ...
Sathya Sai Baba Sect and Its Hidden Agendas. A Caution
2009-05-30 01:47:00 Sathya Sai Baba sect devotees around the world speak constantly of Truth, Right Conduct, Peace, Love and Non-Violence. They would link up with you, smile happily with you, act in a manner that has every appearance of professional and ethical responsibility. But there is a hidden agenda. What is more, core leaders keep a great deal hidden from the rank-and-file members. This means that the latter are all the more convincing when they interface with their communities - for they come across as honest, decent and nice people. They often are
Why Do Prominent Sathya Sai Baba Sect Critics Persist?
2009-05-20 02:56:00 Why should so many former Sathya Sai Baba devotees have left him? Why, in the attempt to bring about proper third party investigation, would prominent former devotee critics of him and his sect have persisted for nearly a decade? The Necessity of Fearless, Articulate Questioning of A Worldwide Sect In the case of those in the last quadrant of their lives, why would they ? after long and dedicated service in their professions, communities and families ? not simply enjoy their retirement years? Or, rather, their refreshment years. Why would critics withstand constant attacks on themselves, being stalked and harrassed, shunned by those they knew and loved as fellow devotees down many years, and their lives intruded upon by unprincipled fanatics into their lives?
Sathya Sai Organization: World Communities Need To Treat This Sect Cautious
2009-04-30 00:10:00 Key leaders of the international Sathya Sai Organization, and their often unsuspecting and decent rank-and-file, would link up with you, smile happily with you, act in a manner that has every appearance of professional and ethical responsibility. They seek to enter into shared endeavours with you in regard to your schools, civic and religious organizations, sporting organizations, your municipal, state and central governments, etc. They do worthy works of social uplift, but in fact they have agendas that they keep from you salient information - that you have every right to know - under tight seals of prohibition as instructed by the guru and his core servitors.
Robert Priddy?s Series On Sathya Sai Baba Man, Gerald Moreno
2009-04-26 01:54:00 I note with a certain awe at his great energy - which he by no means reserves only for exposing Sathya Sai Baba and his sect - that Robert Priddy is still adding to his series in which he refutes the writings of one hellbent on scurrility, Gerald Moreno, who leagues in his endeavours with Sai devotees including those close to Sathya Sai Baba. Moreno, moreover, has a certain status as a popular hero for those who also profess but do not carry out the spiritual teachings of Sathya Sai Baba.
For Peter Young, Animal Activism is Liberating
2009-04-16 00:49:00 9/2/08Simulposted with Mark Hawthorne's Striking at the RootsIn 1997, Peter Young and another activist raided six fur farms in the U.S., releasing an estimated 8,000 to 12,000 mink and 100 fox. Soon after the sixth raid, a farmer in Wisconsin notified police that a suspicious car was driving past a mink ranch. Alerted by an FBI report regarding recent animal liberations on fur farms, police stopped Peter and the other activist, who refused to consent to a search of the vehicle. The car was impounded while authorities waited on a search warrant. When the car was finally searched, police discovered incriminating evidence, including addresses of fur farms with notations indicating their size, fence structure, parking availability and proximity to nearby homes. By then, Peter and the other activist were gone.Peter was wanted by the FBI for seven and a half years before being arrested in California in 2005. He faced a total of 82 years in prison. Peter?s lawyer got the felony portion of...
Sathya Sai Organization: Factors Far Beyond Known Critiques Undermine It
2009-04-01 23:53:00 Some, in their great sense of betrayal by Sai Baba and his international Sathya Sai Organization, have poured out their anguish to various widely-respected groups in the community, including to their leaderships. This was bound to happen.
