Golden Throne of India?s Sathya Sai Baba. He says he will Rule the world so
2009-11-21 22:05:00 Soon never comes ... On November 23, 2009, he celebrates with enormous pomp and extravagance his 84th birthday. Sathya Sai Baba is haggard, weak and ailing, although on his 60th birthday he proclaimed that he would thenceforth not age. He long ago said that he will travel to other countries, actually naming some of them, and that he would perform these visits after first putting his "own backyard" (India) in order. In many respects, India is still in a parlous state.
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.
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 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.
Sai Baba Cultists? Gull Wider Communities
2009-03-02 23:40:00 Michael Goldstein and Sai Baba's officials have turned their backs on large numbers to whom was owed, with no shadow of doubt, clear duty of care. He and they have been derelict. They, like their founder, have betrayed those who had served Sai Baba devotedly down many years, and had made great sacrifices in terms of service and other forms of contribution, including in cases of their life and health. Many leaders, including top ranking ones, have stood by devoid of conscience and decency, knowing full well that their co-workers actively defame, libel, harass and attack former devotees. In some cases, they have privately ensured that certain materials be made available.
Sathya Sai Baba Chief, Dr Goldstein, Explodes. ?I am the consumate professi
2009-02-26 23:40:00 The clickable film clips, see below, from the BBC's 'The Secret Swami' documentary show a great deal about the soul of a cult's top organizational leader, Dr Michael Goldstein (USA), in every few seconds. The bombast, anger and authoritarianism seen within the core leadership of the Sathya Sai cult are often hidden, including from the rank-and-file members. But in 2004, the BBC decided it was time to tear away the heavy mask.
India?s Chronic Addiction To Anacronistic Gurus. Any Sea-change?
2009-02-07 10:21:00 Can new generations in India's ruling elites meaningfully rid from their lives the powerful and corrupt gurus who have for so long brought her into disrepute? Can India find a solution to the embarrassment that attends the spectacle of a great many foreigners - especially Westerners ? drawn to her shores in search of replacement for their own abandoned belief systems, and, often, being profoundly misled?
India?s Painful Experience of Corrupt Leadership
2009-01-18 07:17:00 Listen to a wide cross-section of Indians ? whether Hindu, Muslim, Sikh, Parsee, Jain, Christian and so on - and you will frequently find in them a thorough disgust for India's endemically corrupt, gerontocratic and nepotistic leaders right across the political spectrum. In India political leadership, too often, yesterday's men (or mostly men) are still today's men.
Sathya Sai Fails To Save Satyam
2009-01-14 00:57:00 The massive Satyam corruption scandal engulfs India in a sad and chilling way somewhat remindful of WorldCom, Parmalat, and Enron. Sad, for example, because of the tens of thousands of talented workers whose future is under heavy cloud, and chilling because it reveals but a small part of the disordered ?backyard? that Sathya Sai Baba famously said he would first ?clean up? before transforming the rest of the world prior to quitting it circa AD 2022. And, again sadly, because such scandals can also obscure many instances of probity and quality of service.

Many Power Brokers Follow Failed Prophet Sathya Sai Baba
2008-12-28 23:03:00 Even in most recent pronouncements, Sathya Sai Baba can be seen making prophecies that are bound to be falsified before long, just as, well before today (see Related Readings, below) his many other absurdities have been shown to be seriously unfulfilled. Much of this would not matter to non Sai Baba followers the world over. However, they had best know that cult members in many countries are in positions of power and influence
Revealing Materials On Sai Baba Of India
2008-12-21 11:40:00 In a surprise visit to Puttaparthi and other official Sathya Sai Baba locales in late 2008, Brian Steel acquired a series of books and audio materials.

Shivraj Patil Falls From Home Ministry
2008-12-01 23:06:00 A major follower of Sathya Sai Baba, Shivraj Patil, has resigned as India's Home Minister. Grave questions have been asked about the competence of Patil and others who were meant to be guarding India's security. Comment: Whichever Indian government is in power, Sathya Sai Baba has many devotees who are in all ranks to the highest pinnacle of power. The same is true for the armed services, the judiciary, business and finance, industry, the arts and sciences, and so forth
?No fear of bombs? in India, Said Sai Baba a Week Before Mumbai Terrorist A
2008-12-01 00:13:00 While India's and the world's self-promised 'Saviour' potters and dithers, just as the Emperor Nero fiddled while Rome burnt. A little more than a week before the horrendous terrorist strike on Mumbai, Sathya Sai Baba made yet another of his statements which have been tragically faulted by events seen by an aghast world only a few days later (and, in fact, all along, by a long series of terrorist attacks in India - extraordinarily overlooked by Sathya Sai Baba in his reported statement

Sathya Sai Baba Video. Too Weak To Cut Birthday Cake
2008-11-24 23:03:00 See videos which reveal Sathya Sai Baba, in November 2007, as unable to cut his birthday cakes any longer. See revealing photos. For some time, he has had a mask-like face, suggestive of a degenerative disease. These images completely falsify his own statements in recent years that he would not age
India?s ?Emperor? Sai Baba. By His Lavish Spending Ye Shall Know Him
2008-11-22 22:45:00 Sathya Sai Baba has said that the world should come to him with empty hands. On the other hand, he has succeeded in getting many to come to him with their hands full of gold. The Golden Age of The World Sai Kingdom Is At Hand That gold is now flashing more than Disneyland-like at Puttaparthi, as ...
Sai Baba 83. Has Said He Will Rule World
2008-11-22 01:44:00 Incredible (literally) golden opulence abounds - flashily and gaudily - at Sathya Sai Baba's 83rd birthday celebrations in Puttaparthy, Andhra Pradesh, South India. This guru - whom many believe to be the most powerful and wealthy in India's long history of gurus - proclaims that he will first rule India and then the rest of the world - all in his own lifetime.

Puttaparthi and Cover Up of Health Hazards
2008-11-05 23:45:00 Since matters of life and limb are entailed, every traveler appreciates honesty about conditions involving health. For example, proper notification by governments, tourist venues, businesses, and various other instrumentalities. Once Sathya Sai Baba’s highest profile western follower, a lecturer at his university at Puttaparthi, and a roving ambassador for him internationally, David Bailey has related: “I ...
Indulal Shah and Indian Government Cover Up
2008-10-27 02:18:00 Indulal Shah, of Mumbai, India, was replaced by Dr Michael Goldstein, of Covina, California, as world convener of the Sathya Sai Organization.

Two Indias. Barry Pittard Reflects On India Days
2008-10-12 04:29:00 During the number of years I lived in India, I was able to see across-the-board social uplift work in some of India’s poorest villages. One of my strongest observations was the manner in which, for many years, one outfit refused to accept financial input from abroad. A great emphasis was laid on challenging the consciences ...
The World?s ?Small? and Forgotten Peoples
2008-09-06 00:34:00 In my previous blog, I wrote of how Sathya Sai Baba - despite decades of stating that he will lead a spiritual revolution unparalled in mankind’s history - has profoundly failed to engage the world. ‘The backyard’, India, that he said he would first “clean up” is in parlous state. He says that the world ...
When Disasters Overtake S. Sai Baba?s Promises
2008-09-04 14:51:00 There are Sathya Sai Baba devotees in some of the highest echelons of power in various countries. Their faith in him may be touching but not likely to be fulfilled. Despite various statements such as that that he would not age or get sick, he looks fragile and decrepit, increasingly muttering oddities and making egregious ...
Small Turnout In Russia for Solzhenitsyn
2008-08-07 13:22:00 Vale Alexander Solzhenitsyn! It may be argued that the genuine models of moral excellence are great and visionary but flawed individuals, rather than those such as Sathya Sai Baba, the failed ‘God’ who would be King of Kings. One may find it surprising that people’s sectarian views could not be raised above, and a tribute paid ...

International Relations 101
2008-05-12 15:21:00 By Cameron ClarkHelp is on the way to Myanmar today. As our thoughts and prayers are with the Burmese people, our governments certainly don't see eye to eye on the ideas of democracy and capitalism, which had resulted in the prideful refusal of American aid by the Myanmar Junta. As heart-breaking as the conditions are on the ground in the cyclone ravaged nation, the rules of international diplomacy and national sovereignty are still intact regardless of the keen insight of the American public.Four days ago CNN ran a poll on its website asking if the United States should air-drop supplies into Myanmar even if the government refused aid: Much to my chagrin, 60% of the respondents said the U.S. should deliver supplies without Burmese consent.People are dying there, and I would imagine they don't care where help comes from so long as they receive it (thank God they are getting it now), but my problem is the 60% of respondents who couldn't quite get their mind around the entirety of t...
China Courts Dalai Lama. Olympic Good Spirit?
2008-05-04 02:07:00 The Chinese government has been making strenuous attempts to ensure a meeting with the Dalai Lama. The troubled events attending the Olympic torch relay, and international condemnation of China for her human rights record, have brought considerable pressure on the Chinese leaders to make this move. This is in marked contrast to its decades of execrating the ...
Analysis: China?s nuclear secret exposed
2008-05-01 15:08:00 China bills the tropical island of Hainan as a new Hawaii.

Sanya, the town on its southern tip, is best known for hosting Miss World in recent years. But right next door, China’s forward-looking naval strategists are ...

Political Theory and International Relations ?????????
2008-03-06 01:21:00 Political Theory and International Relations?????????# Author: Charles R. Beitz# Format:PDF 2.3MB# Publisher: Princeton University Press # Number Of Pages: 224 # Publication Date: 1999-07-01 # ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0691009155 # ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780691009155 In this revised edition of his 1979 classic Political Theory and International Relations, Charles Beitz rejects two highly influential conceptions of international theory as empirically inaccurate and theoretically misleading. In one, international relations is a Hobbesian state of nature in which moral judgments are entirely inappropriate, and in the other, states are analogous to persons in domestic society in having rights of autonomy that insulate them from external moral assessment and political interference. Beitz postulates that a theory of international politics should include a revised principle of state autonomy based on the justice of a state's domestic institutions, and a principle of international distributive justice to e...

2008-02-13 21:08:00 A great day occurred in Australia yesterday, which the global Sathya Sai Organization may do well to note.

The rest of the Australian nation via its Federal Parliament said a ...

Where now for NATO?s Afghanistan Mission?
2008-02-06 15:00:00 By Christopher McGuinness Hear that noise? That’s Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper rocking the boat by threatening to end Canada’s involvement in Afghanistan without increased troop support from other NATO countries. And by “other NATO countries”, he means “the EU”. At first glance, it seems that EU nations haven’t been as negligent as Harper’s camp would have ...

Democracy and US Foreign Policy ? What about Pervez Musharraf?
2007-11-28 09:18:00 By Christopher McGuiness Spreading democracy has been a key feature of American foreign policy for centuries, and central to the neoconservative and neoliberal presidential administrative agendas of the past three decades.
