Fighting The Smears – Robert Priddy’s Homoerotic Imaginations

Dear Friends And Fellow Readers,

This article is very important for several reasons. First, it documents the vicious behaviors of Ex-Devotees of Sathya Sai Baba (who often claim they are “credible”, “honest,” and “sincere” individuals). Secondly, this article is important because it documents the unbelievable extents that Ex-Devotees of Sathya Sai Baba will go in order to malign, defame and libel others. Lastly, this article is important because it reveals the dubious standards that Ex-Devotees use to determine what they consider “sexual abuse” and/or “sexual molestation”.

Since former followers of Sathya Sai Baba unremittingly and falsely accuse Gerald ‘Joe’ Moreno of being “molested sexually” by Sathya Sai Baba, Moreno’s story is unique and provides a revealing and telltale glimpse into the mindset, fanaticism and extremism that altogether exemplifies the Anti-Sathya-Sai-Baba Movement.

Robert Priddy (a caustic critic and defamer of Sathya Sai Baba who once hailed the Guru as God Incarnate and who once fervently Worshipped And Kissed The Guru’s Feet) wrote more blatant disinformation on his Anti-Baba blog about Gerald Joe Moreno (a Pro-Sai Activist).

The case is easily made that Robert Priddy is a bitter, vindictive and sexually-debauched defamer and propagator of disinformation against Gerald Joe Moreno (henceforth referred to as “Moreno”). Ex-Devotee’s willful, malicious and obsessive claims about Moreno being “molested sexually” by Sathya Sai Baba has undeniably cast a dark shadow of suspicion and doubt on their self-professed and alleged “credibility”, “honesty” and “sincerity”…

Second Coming Of Semantics VS Second Coming Of Jesus Christ aka Parousia aka Advent

sathyasaibaba — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 17:05:48 +0000

Second Coming Of Semantics VS Second Coming Of Jesus Christ aka Parousia aka Advent

Second Coming Of Jesus Christ - Literally Parousia or Second Advent

Robert Priddy (a caustic critic and defamer of Sathya Sai Baba who once hailed the Guru as God Incarnate and thereby the Father who sent Jesus, Allah who sent Muhammad and the Creator of the Universe) wrote an amusing response to Moreno’s article about him entitled Is Robert Priddy A Fundamentalist Christian?

Robert Priddy responded (in part):

Robert Priddy: Firstly, Joe Moreno (as vishvarupa108) made wide accusations of clinging to a Christian fundamentalist belief against the group he calls “anti-Sais” which is shown in the following posting which turned up in an archived e-mail attachment I received. There he claimed we all cling to a “second coming” mentality because we have nothing else to cling to. Wholly preposterous, of course, and indicative of Christian fundamentalism – for belief in the Second Coming is hardly no longer a belief promoted by mainstream Christianity (as opposed to fundamentalists). Moreno’s co-worker Lisa de Witt (who he never criticises or corrects despite her outrageous statements) has definitively included and named me as Christian and fundamentalist (which she may try to deny). Therefore Moreno is obviously aligned with her by his recent stated support for her claims.

First and foremost, Moreno has never supported the alleged claim that Lisa De Witt said that Robert Priddy is a Christian. Lisa de Witt denies making such a claim and although Robert Priddy expected Lisa de Witt to deny the claim, he provided no references to support his comments about her. Therefore, this particular argument by Robert Priddy is totally deflated. Secondly, let us look at Moreno’s actual comments (with references) in proper context regarding his usage of the term “second coming”:

Joe Moreno: Yes, Dave, you can still cling to your “second coming” mentality regarding the “truth” that will come out regarding the murders. (Reference)

Joe Moreno: Anti-SSB Activists are clinging to their “second coming” mentality and are relying on unsubstantiated propaganda until the evidence they hope exists, surfaces. (Reference)

Joe Moreno: Robert Priddy clings to his second coming mentality, hoping that his conspiracy theory will one day be vindicated. Eleven years and counting and Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba has never been implicated (in any way, shape or form) with the police shootings that occurred on June 6th 1993. (Reference)

As one can clearly see, the context Moreno used for the term “second coming mentality” was non-religious in nature and was not indicative (directly, indirectly or otherwise) that Robert Priddy and Ex-Devotees were Christians awaiting the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.

As rational and intelligent readers are aware, the term “Second Coming” (besides referring to Christ’s return) is also a semantical term commonly used by prestigious media (including Forbes, Discover magazine, international newspapers, books, movies, TV stations, etc.) that does not refer to the Christian concept of parousia (also known as the “Second Advent”). Rather, the term “second coming” can be used to denote the occurrence, hope or expectation of an actualization, reappearance or re-invention of a person, thing or event.

Second Coming By Nike

Common Non-Christian Usage For The Term “Second Coming” In International Media (A Small Selection):

Therefore, Moreno’s usage of the term “second coming mentality” proves he did not imply or insinuate (in the least) that Robert Priddy and Ex-Devotees were Christians awaiting the Second Advent of Jesus Christ.

Non-Christian Imagery For Second Coming

Robert Priddy Denies Christian Anti-Baba Movements:
Robert Priddy (under the pseudonym “Participant Observer”) said:

Robert Priddy (Pseudonym “Participant Observer”): No, bazza1, I am not a Christian or a follower of any other organised religion. This is typical of Sai people… to think that vested church interests are behind the allegations etc. because Sai Org. chief Indulal Shah made this specious claim in directives against his better knowledge. I know of no Church involvments, and I know the exposé scene better than most. (Reference)

That’s right, Robert Priddy claimed that he knew of no Church involvements against Sathya Sai Baba despite the fact that his co-conspirator and co-writer Barry Pittard openly boasted about polarizing Christians against Sathya Sai Baba. Reinier van der Sandt (the webmaster to the largest Anti-Baba websites on the internet and a known associate of Robert Priddy) posted Christian banners on his Ex-Baba domain (Ref) and wrote a couple of letters to Cardinal Simonis attempting to polarize Christians against Sathya Sai Baba. Read The Full Article About Christian Anti-Hindu and Anti-Baba Movements Here.

So when Robert Priddy attempted to argue that Moreno “hypoctitically tries through vehement denial to appear to distance himself from the business of smearing ‘Anti-Sais’ as Christians and/or fundamentalists among whom he definitively includes me”, he is out of touch with reality.

The extreme way in which Robert Priddy pigeonholes Moreno’s words gives one the distinct impression that Robert Priddy is unmovable by truth or reason and his moral cowardice is masked in bold rhetoric.

From Susan Boyle To Judgmentalism To Sai Baba To The Elephant Man

From Susan Boyle To Judgmentalism To Sai Baba To The Elephant Man

Susan Boyle

Susan Boyle. Unexpected Divine Chanteuse. Sweet 47
Barry Pittard (a vocal critic and defamer of Sathya Sai Baba and others) wrote an aimless blogged article entitled “Susan Boyle. Unexpected Divine Chanteuse. Sweet 47”, which one would have expected to be about the singing sensation Susan Boyle.

Rather, Barry Pittard attempted to draw unsuspecting readers to his defamatory Anti-Baba blog by using the name and fame of Susan Boyle to his advantage. Barry Pittard rambled in various directions interspersing information about Susan Boyle with random attacks against his former Guru Sri Sathya Sai Baba (whom he once hailed as God Incarnate and Lord of the Universe) and Joe Moreno (a Pro-Sai Activist).

From Susan Boyle To Judgmentalism To Joe Moreno To Sai Baba:
In Barry Pittard’s article entitled “Susan Boyle. Unexpected Divine Chanteuse. Sweet 47”, he said:

Barry Pittard: “Judgementalism on the grounds of a person’s body shape, place of origin, social status, and so on, is, course, one of humanity’s most destructive tendencies. Is there a profound lesson to be learnt by every one of us?”

Far be it for Barry Pittard to preach about the “destructive tendencies” of judgmentalism when he engages in malicious “judgmentalism” against his former guru Sri Sathya Sai Baba (based on age, body shape, disabilities and so on). Some relevant quotes from an article entitled Barry Pittard – Pseudo-Compassionate And Pseudo-Moral Pathos End In Laughable Bathos:

Barry Pittard: His ‘turkey throat’ sways from side to side. He wears the mask face of a sufferer from e.g., Parkinson’s disease.

Barry Pittard: Sai Baba has long proclaimed that he is the greatest “avatar” (manifestation of God in human form), but his empire looks as shakey as his own legs, and as his sagging turkey throat, which wobbles from side to side.

Barry Pittard: At other times, he mutters indecipherably. His mask-like face suggests serious medical symptoms. His hair, which he has said would remain intact, except to go white, thins badly. He has had a number of hip operations.

Barry Pittard: Not only does he have a sagging face that has more than a trace of some degenerative disease – giving him a mask-like expression, but for the last few years he has developed what is called ‘Turkey’s Throat’, aptly named.

The big question is: WHY does Barry Pittard engage in judgmental attacks against Sathya Sai Baba (based on age, body shape, disabilities and so on) when he blathers about the evils of “judgmentalism” on his Anti-Baba blog? Apparently, Barry Pittard is one of those self-serving hypocrites and pseudo-moralistic preachers whose precept is bereft of practice.

Instead of focusing on all the good that Sathya Sai Baba has done and all the good that Sathya Sai Baba has inspired, Barry Pittard rather focus on the guru’s “turkey throat”! How’s that for a real eye-opener on “judgmentalism”? Considering Barry Pittard’s obscene fascination with throats, one cannot help to wonder if he thinks Susan Boyle has a “turkey throat” as well? Sadly, Susan Boyle’s double-chin has been a judgmental focus for the media as well. A few examples: 01 – 02 – 03.

From Susan Boyle To Judgmentalism To The Elephant Man:
About Barry Pittard, Moreno said:

Gerald Moreno: Let us see if Barry Pittard looks any better than Sathya Sai Baba does (according to one email source, his face is heavily and deeply wrinkled, his head is mostly bald and he is physically unattractive). Barry Pittard also collects a disability pension (the details of which are fanatically guarded secrets) and shows all the signs of old age. Despite this fact, Barry Pittard hypocritically points out faults in a much younger-looking Sai Baba! Barry Pittard sounds more intent on revenge & ridicule than he does on “justice”.

In response, Barry Pittard replied (in part):

Barry Pittard: But can Moreno, at all, be referring to the fine creature I see before me in my never-cracking mirror each morning? Might he have got me mixed up with the Elephant Man?

Although Barry Pittard’s Anti-Sai associates continually demand that Moreno publicly publish his picture on his websites (even though they already possess his picture and spam it on their websites and blogs), Barry Pittard is not man enough to come forward and publish his picture on his Anti-Sai blog (or anywhere else for that matter). Does this have to do with the fact that by showing his face the email description sent to Moreno will be confirmed? Or does it have to do with the fact that by showing his face women who may have been sexually molested by him under the guise of “spiritual healings” will come forward and identify him as the culprit? If Barry Pittard is such a “fine creature”, he should come forward with a recent picture of himself and vindicate his egotistical boastings about his appearance.

Moreno never compared Barry Pittard to the Elephant Man, nor did Moreno say anything about Pittard’s appearance (as Moreno does not know what Pittard looks like). Moreno simply referenced a description of Barry Pittard sent to him via email. Barry Pittard responded by jumping to the worst conspiratorial view and posted a picture of someone he believes embodies complete hideousness and ugliness, i.e., Joseph Merrick (aka The Elephant Man). How’s that for “judgmentalism”? What more can one do but laugh out loud at Barry Pittard and his lamentable self-righteous posturing?

One Of Two Pictures Posted By Pittard Of Joseph Merrick The Elephant Man

Click Here to view the voluminous and “judgmental” defamations made against Moreno by various Ex-Devotees that Barry Pittard professes friendship and/or association with.

When Moreno was libeled by Barry Pittard’s co-writer and co-conspirator Robert Priddy as being Sexually Molested By Sathya Sai Baba, Barry Pittard sat there in silence (apparently admiring in the mirror the “fine creature” he thinks he is).

Barry Pittard openly falsified a free press release article in which he falsely claimed that the US State Department named Sathya Sai Baba “Re Pedophile Accusations”, a bold-faced and gutter untruth. See For Yourself.

Click Here to see the types of pictures that Ex-Devotees typically post against Sathya Sai Baba, about which Barry Pittard has never once complained. As a matter of fact, Barry Pittard published a falsified picture of Sathya Sai Baba holding hands with Idi Amin. This is the type of sleaze and slime that Barry Pittard purposely drowns in over-zealous diatribes about morality, ethics, compassion and non-judgmentalism!

Of course, Susan Boyle has absolutely nothing to do with Joe Moreno, Sathya Sai Baba or the Elephant Man. Barry Pittard is a self-anointed moralist and self-appointed proxy spokesperson for alleged victims (all of whom refused to cooperate with him and all of whom refused his offer of free “world class legal resources”) who is apparently attempting to exploit the popularity of Susan Boyle in exchange for some cheap publicity for his defamatory Anti-Baba blog.

Putting aside the faceless defamer Barry Pittard, let us take a look at Susan Boyle, someone notable with real talent, worthy of attention and who brings genuine inspiration & upliftment:

Relevant Information About Susan Boyle

Susan Boyle (born 1961) is a Scottish amateur singer and church volunteer who came to public attention on 11 April 2009, when she appeared as a contestant on the third series of Britain’s Got Talent. Boyle found fame when she sang “I Dreamed a Dream” from Les Misérables in the competition’s first round.

Before she sang, both the audience and the judges appeared to express scepticism based on her unpolished appearance, and apparent awkwardness. In contrast, her vocal performance was so well received that she has been dubbed “The Woman Who Shut Up Simon Cowell”. She received a standing ovation from the live audience, garnering yes-votes from Cowell and Amanda Holden, and the “biggest yes I have ever given to anybody” from Piers Morgan. The audition was recorded in January 2009 at the Clyde Auditorium in Glasgow, Scotland.

The juxtaposition of the reception to her voice with the audience’s first impression of her triggered global interest. Articles about her appeared in newspapers all over the world, while the numbers who watched videos of her audition set an online record. By 20 April 2009, viral videos of her audition, subsequent interviews of her, and her 1999 rendition of “Cry Me a River” had been viewed over 100 million times on the Internet. Cowell is reported to be setting up a contract with Boyle with his Syco Music company label, a subsidiary of Sony Music. (Reference)

The frumpy 47-year-old, who says shes never been kissed, has gained celebrity fans and millions of admirers - including a fair number of men - since appearing on the show. Her fame has been fueled by new technology, with a clip of her performance viewed more than 12 million times on YouTube. AP Photo/Andrew Milligan-pa

Susan Boyle In The Media

Susan Boyle Stuns ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ Audience and Even Simon Cowell
Wednesday April 15, 2009
Categories: Entertainment, Pop Culture, Television, Trends

The evening and morning news shows–as well as 5 million YouTube viewers–are abuzz over a lesson we all need to learn. And the first live audience was enthusiastically willing to do so, as their judgmental laughter and eye-rolling turned into spontaneous and enthusiastic applause and outright cheers!

Susan Boyle is a 47-year-old charity worker from West Lothian, Scotland. It’s a place known for great golf and pleasant locals who go about their business relatively quietly. It’s a long way from Hollywood.

As she was interviewed by Simon Cowell on “Britain’s Got Talent,” everything about her stage presence–from her dress to her hairstyle to her choice to avoid make-up to her age–seemed to say this was going to be one of those Gong moments for the show.

This CNN clip of her performance shows some wonderful before and after pictures of the audience members. Before the song, it was obvious they didn’t expect much. Nor did Simon. Miss Boyle said her goal was to become a professional singer. “Why hasn’t it worked out so far,” he asked. Her confident, poised and cheerful response should have given us an idea of what was next.

“I’ve never been given the chance before, here’s hoping it’ll change,” she beamed.

And then…wow!

An audience ready to laugh and ridicule became synchronized in their amazement, applause, cheers, and instant respect for the gifted woman singing before them.

Piers Morgan gave her “the biggest ‘yes’ of his career!” It’s possible she’ll go a long way in the competition. And I hope she does, because she is a living example of one of things I absolutely despise about our media-driven culture. The idea that women need to be young, thin, tabloid-friendly, and discovered by the time they’re 25 is an unhealthy as it is foundationless. There are so many gifted people who hold no hope of ever being discovered for their talents. They go undiscovered except for their close friends and perhaps some church attendees. And it shouldn’t be that way. And we know it.

That is why I was inspired not only by her song, but by the crowd’s reaction. Everyone loved it! They loved her! They were touched by her raw talent, her beautiful voice, and became instant fans. The part about each of us that is quick to judge is also quick to respond to excellence and beauty. We should be quicker to look for the beauty in people, and I’m not sure our media-driven culture trains us to do that.

I will continue to hope that shows like this provide a stage for the many, many Miss Boyle’s in Britain, America and around the world. Everybody wins when someone like her steps forward! (Reference)

Susan Boyle And Judgmentalism

As Susan Boyle lives her dream, what have we learned?
Mary Schmich
April 19, 2009

What if Susan Boyle couldn’t sing?

If Susan Boyle couldn’t sing, she’d have vanished into TV history, remembered, if at all, as just another self-deluded weirdo.

If Susan Boyle couldn’t sing, Simon Cowell wouldn’t have stopped smirking; the spectators would have kept on snickering; and America’s newest heroine would have gone back to her Scottish village to resume the life of an unmarried, unemployed, ungainly, middle-age woman who lives alone with a cat.

In other words, without what we define as talent, Susan Boyle would be an object of mockery and pity.

“What has Susan Boyle taught us about the way we judge people based on appearance?” I heard some radio host intone on Friday.

My answer: Not much.

Because if Susan Boyle couldn’t sing, she’d still be the kind of person some people avoid sitting next to on the bus.

The happy news, as the world learned last week, is that Susan Boyle can sing. Her heart-rending rendition of “I Dreamed A Dream” on “Britain’s Got Talent” turned “the Scottish spinster,” as various reports put it, into “a singing sensation,” “a media sensation” and a “YouTube sensation.”

“Indeed,” said one newspaper story, “a full range of emotion—first humor, then shock, followed by warm appreciation and perhaps a dollop of self-reproof for anyone who dares to judge others principally by their appearance—can be extracted from Boyle’s seven-minute clip.”

Oh, please. If Susan Boyle couldn’t sing, there would be precious little self-reproof going on.

The story of Susan Boyle is undeniably appealing. Listening to her sing, I got a lump in my throat too:

You go, girl. You show all those people who for your whole life have bullied you and doubted you. Show them you can do something better than they thought you could, better than they can.

But after the rooting’s done, what’s the lesson? That we shouldn’t make fun of odd people because they might have talent?

In all the gushing over Boyle’s performance, there remains an unpleasant undercurrent. Well, yes, she’s 47, way past prime time. But she can sing!

Oh, and those bushy eyebrows, that wiry hair, that stocky figure, the double chin, and her manner, it’s so strange. But she can sing!

And, OK, as one writer put it, she’s “perpetually single,” which is tragic, my friends, but at least the old gal can belt out a tune.

The message? Almost everything about her is abnormal and unattractive, but let’s overlook it because she can sing.

I know a woman who reminds me unnervingly of Susan Boyle. This woman is also in her mid-40s, unmarried, unemployed, overweight, bushy-browed, wiry-haired, eccentric. If you said frumpy, I would resent it but I would understand.

Like Susan Boyle, she is the youngest of a large clan of kids and, also like Boyle, she has struggled her whole life with a learning disability that has taught her more than anyone should know about being mocked.

Like Boyle (whose mother died a few years ago), she has lived her adult life with her mother and a cat.

This woman is my sister. And unlike Boyle, my sister has no dazzling talent. She can’t sing or dance. She paints and draws in ways that move me but elude the multitudes.

She talks sometimes about how people treat her.

“It’s nightmarish,” she’ll say, “the way people look at me, as if I’m not like them.”

She’s not like a lot of them. But there are legions of people like her, people who, like Susan Boyle, live and look different from what we call the norm. My sister confesses that sometimes those people make her uncomfortable too.

“I guess we’re all that way sometimes, aren’t we?” she said not long ago. “We get uncomfortable around people who seem strange.”

We do. I do. Almost all of us do. But the lesson I’d hope we take from Susan Boyle is that people deserve respect, however strange they are, even if they don’t have talent. (Reference)

By Proxy Defenders Of Alleged Victims And By Proxy Defamers Of Sathya Sai Baba

sathyasaibaba — Thu, 26 Mar 2009 04:14:16 +0000

By Proxy Defenders Of Alleged Victims And By Proxy Defamers Of Sathya Sai Baba

Dictionary definition of proxy: prox·y (prǒk’sē)
n., pl. -ies

A person authorized to act for another; an agent or substitute.

The authority to act for another.

The written authorization to act in place of another.

A document empowering a person to act for another, as in voting at a stockholders’ meeting.

Other Proxy Terms: By Proxy Definition ■ Factitious Disorder By Proxy ■ Illness By Proxy ■ Munchausen Syndrome By Proxy ■ By Proxy ■ Narcissim By Proxy ■ Proxy Fight ■ Proxy IP ■ Proxy Servers ■ MySpace Proxy ■ YouTube Proxy ■ PhProxy ■ FaceBook Proxy ■ Domains By Proxy ■ Ergo Proxy ■ Proxies ■ Proxy Cache ■ Climate Proxy Variable ■ Marriage By Proxy ■ Proxy Sniffer ■ Fly Proxy ■ SureProxy ■ KPproxy ■ AmericaProxy

[Middle English proccy, contraction of earlier procracie, annual payment to a prelate, from Anglo-Norman procuracie, from Medieval Latin prōcūrātia, alteration of Latin prōcūrātiō, from prōcūrātus, past participle of prōcūrāre, to take care of.]

Munchausen By Proxy Syndrome:
Readers may be familiar with the illness Munchausen By Proxy Syndrome (MBPS), which is a rare disorder that involves the exaggeration or fabrication of illnesses or symptoms by a psychologically unstable primary caretaker. The disorder was named after Baron von Munchausen.

Prittard By Proxy Syndrome:
Akin to MBPS, one could say there is another common “illness” that can best be described as “Prittard By Proxy Syndrome” (“Prittard” being a combination of the last names of Robert Priddy and Barry Pittard) that involves the exaggeration or fabrication of alleged abuse or criminal acts by psychologically unstable conspiracy theorists.

Non-Victims Subjectively Arguing The Cases Of Alleged Victims:
Robert Priddy and Barry Pittard (the main spokespersons for the Anti-Sai movement) are notorious defamers and critics of Sathya Sai Baba and others. Although Robert Priddy and Barry Pittard act as spokespersons for alleged victims, they cannot provide a single document authorizing them to act as agents or speak on behalf of alleged victims (all of whom have never filed a basic police complaint, court case or public grievance against Sathya Sai Baba in India).

Irrefutably, Robert Priddy and Barry Pittard have:

Never (ever) witnessed a single incident of alleged abuse by Sathya Sai Baba.
Never (ever) witnessed a single incident of alleged criminal behavior by Sathya Sai Baba.
Never (ever) were abused by Sathya Sai Baba.

Therefore, Robert Priddy and Barry Pittard are self-appointed proxy defenders of alleged victims and self-appointed proxy defamers of Sathya Sai Baba. Even going back to 2001, people sympathetic with Ex-Devotees rightly questioned the many hearsay allegations against Sathya Sai Baba, wondered why alleged victims were not defending themselves and wondered why non-victims were the ones making all of the fuss (Ref).

‘By Proxy’ Accusations Against Joe Moreno Based On Conspiracy:
Since Robert Priddy and Barry Pittard both accuse Joe Moreno without proof of being a “proxy defender” of the entire Sathya Sai Organization, they set a new standard of definition for the word “proxy” that implicates themselves in the very same conspiracy theories they formulate against Moreno.

For example, both Priddy and Pittard made the argument (and made it poorly) that the Sai Organization is:

Secretly waging a defamation and libel campaign against ex-devotees.
Secretly funding Joe Moreno.
Secretly associating themselves with Joe Moreno.
Secretly promoting Joe Moreno.
Linking to Joe Moreno’s websites.

Of course, Priddy and Pittard are wholly unable to back up their conspiracy theories with any factual or credible information. Rather, Priddy and Pittard attempt to argue their case that because non-official Sai-related websites have linked to Moreno’s website, those non-official Sai-Related websites (which ex-devotees claim are really official Sai-related websites in disguise) are spearheading defamation and libel campaigns against them! One must remember that these non-official Sai-related websites (which have disclaimers stating they are not affiliated with the official Sathya Sai Organization) simply provided a link to Moreno’s website without duplicating any content or text from Moreno’s websites.

Therefore, Priddy and Pittard argue that because links were provided on non-official Sai-related websites, the entire Sathya Sai Organisation is spearheading defamation and libel campaigns against them! Talk about disastrously ill-formed conspiracy theories (very much akin to critic’s disastrously ill-formed conspiracy theories against Sathya Sai Baba)!

Important Note: There is absolutely nothing to “protect” or “defend” the Sathya Sai Organisation from. To Date: Not even one parent or family member has come forward alleging “pedophilia” against Sathya Sai Baba. To Date: Not even one police complaint, court case or any type of legal grievance has been filed against Sathya Sai Baba or the Sai Organization in India by any alleged victim. Therefore, what exactly is there to “protect” or “defend” the Sathya Sai Organization from besides internet rumors, gossips and conspiracies?

‘Proxy’ Defamers Purposely Ignore Relevant Facts:
Needless to say both Robert Priddy and Barry Pittard continually cite (ad nauseam) the Secret Swami Documentary as something legitimate in their favor although the prime witness (Alaya Rahm) self-disclosed the fact that he was a decade-long daily-user of illegal street drugs and alcohol in official court records where he sought a money settlement against the Sathya Sai Baba Society Of America (Ref)!

Both Robert Priddy and Barry Pittard are fierce defenders, promoters and associates of Conny Larsson, a self-proclaimed Prophet and Psychic Trance Medium for Vyasa. Conny Larsson claims to see, hear and channel dead people and dead animals in psychic trance séances! Needless to say, Priddy and Pittard often trash & bash other psychics and mediums as “absurd charlatans”

To Date: Robert Priddy and Barry Pittard adamantly refuse to address Alaya Rahm’s self-disclosed drug addiction and alcoholism in official court records and Conny Larsson’s self disclosed psychic trance medium claims on numerous websites.

Others suffering from the “Prittard By Proxy Syndrome” are Timothy Conway, Brian Steel, Alan Kazlev, Sanjay Dadlani, Tony O’Clery, Reinier Van Der Sandt and Andries Krugers Dagneaux (all cult-like sheep who bleat Anti-Baba slogans in tune with their cult-like leaders Priddy and Pittard).

MARCH 31st 2009 UPDATE:
Robert Priddy wrote a rambling response to this article on his Anti-Baba blog and (predictably) did not address any of the main points made by Moreno. Rather, Robert Priddy attempted to deflect his readers (as few as they are) by accusing Moreno of using “a strictly legal definition” for the word ‘proxy’. In fact Moreno did not rely on the legal definition. See: Answers.com Definition For ‘Proxy’.

Robert Priddy defined ‘proxy’ as “‘the agency, function, or office of a deputy who acts as a substitute for another’ (i.e. whether a self-appointed deputy or not) and ‘a representative who acts on behalf of other persons or organizations’”. The first part of Robert Priddy’s definition was taken (verbatim) from Webster’s Online Dictionary (Ref) and the second part was taken (verbatim) from the The Free Dictionary under the thesaurus definition for the word “agent” (Ref)! Neither of those online references said or suggested “whether a self-appointed deputy or not” (an interpretation added by Robert Priddy’s to skew the literal definition for the word “proxy”). Needless to say, Moreno is not a deputy who acts as a representative for the Sai Organization in any capacity, function or office. Robert Priddy also miserably failed to discuss his “proxy” defense of alleged victims and his “proxy” defamations against Sathya Sai Baba (using his definition for the word “proxy”).

Instead of addressing Alaya Rahm’s self-disclosed decade-long daily use of illegal street drugs and alcohol, Robert Priddy decided to deflect his readers (again, as few as they are) with his alleged “succesful challenge to Moreno on Wikipedia” regarding the video-taped deposition of Lewis Kreydick. Moreno actually provided a full response in September 2006 (which Priddy has never been able to refute). For example, two filed court records that include Lewis Kreydick’s name are: Lewis Kreydick: Proof Of Service Motions In Limine and Lewis Kreydick: Deposition In Limine.

Therefore, Robert Priddy’s alleged “succesful challenge to Moreno on Wikipedia” is an absurdity and an illusion that has been fully refuted with verifiable court record documents. Laughably, Robert Priddy’s stated (while apparently intoxicated on his elitist delirium) that his so-called “succesful challenge to Moreno” “eventually led to
Moreno meeting his Wiki-waterloo”. What a bunch of delusional rubbish! Moreno was banned from Wikipedia for exposing Mel Etitis And His Peter J. King Sockpuppet Cover-Up On Wikipedia. Robert Priddy had nothing to do with Moreno’s ban! Robert Priddy is a liar, a distorter of facts and a propagandist with proof.

Robert Priddy also “challenged” Moreno to come forth with the name of the “Robert” who first introduced him to Sathya Sai Baba. Robert Priddy speculated that either Robert Baskin or Robert Bozzani or Robert Bruce were possible “Roberts” who introduced Moreno to Sathya Sai Baba. All Robert Priddy needs to know is that the “Robert” in question is none of the above. As if Moreno would give the full name of a friend to a pathological liar and malicious defamer such as Robert Priddy!

Robert Priddy once hailed Sathya Sai Baba as God Incarnate, the Father who sent Jesus, Allah who sent Mohammed and the Supreme Being who created the Universe! Robert Priddy now claims he was brainwashed during his devotee years (even though he devoted an entire chapter in his Pro-Baba book “Source Of The Dream” about “not believing blindly” and how he was always careful not to join a personality cult or guru cult). Who is to say Robert Priddy has not been brainwashed again (considering how easy it is to brainwash him)? Robert Priddy is a joke and the butt of the joke he personifies. Since Robert Priddy eulogized his LSD-induced hallucinations for 30+ years (Ref), what more can anyone expect from him?

Robert Priddy, Barry Pittard, Sai Isa And The Baba Sling

Robert Priddy, Barry Pittard, Sai Isa And The Baba Sling

Robert Priddy (a caustic defamer and critic of Sathya Sai Baba) wrote a foaming-at-the-mouth diatribe on his Anti-Baba WordPress blog attacking Joe Moreno for “libel”, “extreme vilifications”, “slurs” and other equally fanatic accusations (because of a fully documented and well referenced article written by Moreno about the history behind the Baba Sling). Needless to say, Robert Priddy’s rebuttal contained no factual, credible or verifiable material and relied wholly on spin, deflection and rhetoric.

Robert Priddy erroneously contended that the BabaSling business is “unrelated” to Sathya Sai Baba despite the fact that Shanti McIvor (the founder of the Baba Sling) was devoted to Sathya Sai Baba when she founded her business, named the Baba Sling after Sathya Sai Baba, i.e., “Baba” and named her son after Sathya Sai Baba (the guru foretold the birth of her son many years prior), i.e., “Sai Isa”. There are no known terms for babies, children, kids, etc., in which the word “Baba” would apply. “Baba” means “father” and Shanti McIvor praised Sathya Sai Baba on her “Baba Slings” website when it first went online (references provided later in this article).

Robert Priddy said:

“This maliciousness is further evidenced in Moreno’s conscienceless naming of a young child. This boy, out of childlike curiosity, googled his own name, and found viciously aimed barbs at the father whom he loves. This is a man, moreover, who has for years remained unprovoked by Moreno’s constant and extreme vilifications. Indeed, he has all along recommended to other former devotees whom Moreno has attacked not to retaliate or at least if bent on doing so to avoid malice and heated language.”

Far be it for Robert Priddy to point his self-righteous fingers at Moreno and accuse him of being “conscienceless” when Robert Priddy maliciously published (in true tabloid-like style) pictures of the lifeless bodies of men who were shot in the 1993 police shootings incident at Prashanti. The mothers and fathers of those men must now endure the fathomless anguish of seeing their son’s lifeless bodies cheaply broadcast on the internet like entertainment news. Both Barry Pittard and Robert Priddy published those macabre and bloody pictures on their Anti-Sai WordPress blogs despite their psuedo-moral and pseudo-conscientious objections against Moreno’s naming of Sai Isa, whose name was openly stated, published and discussed on Shanti McIvor’s public domain BabaSlings websites (there were a couple of them) for many years! As a matter of fact, Barry Pittard himself publicly divulged that he is the father of Sai Isa and mentioned Sai Isa’s name in relation to the Sai Controversy. On Robert Priddy’s Anti-Baba website saibaba-x.org.uk, Barry Pittard said (which Pittard originally published on QuickTopic in 2002): “…a neighbour Connie Raadsma of Cooma, inspired by stories told to her by Gerry Gibson (still my closest friend and Godfather to our son Sai Isa) decided to visit Sai Baba…”. Therefore, Sai Isa’s name was made a matter of public domain by Shanti McIvor and Barry Pittard before I wrote my article mentioning him.

It is also important to point out that the very first public picture that Barry Pittard released of himself was on MySpace, prominently showing Sai Isa (Ref)!

After widely soliciting himself on the internet as an “international coordinator” to bring Sathya Sai Baba to “justice” (even widely advertising his address and phone number on numerous websites), Barry Pittard brought Sai Isa into the foreground of the Sai Controversy by recklessly releasing his very first picture with Sai Isa.

Let us not forget how both Robert Priddy and Barry Pittard wrote several articles ridiculing, mocking and maliciously publicizing the tragic suicide of J. Jagadeesan’s son and the death of his wife! Barry Pittard also wrote an article accusing a high-ranking Sai Devotee of being a homosexual and running a pedophile ring from his apartment in New York! Unsubstantiated accusations resulting in no legal action or investigation from any legal authorities despite complaints allegedly filed by Pittard with New York’s Mayor, Interpol, the FBI and other high-ranking officials. The only people who are “conscienceless” are Barry Pittard, Robert Priddy and other Ex-Devotees. For more examples of “conscienceless” attacks, Click Here.

If Sai Isa googled his father’s name (Google Results For ‘Barry Pittard’), he would find numerous articles written by his father viciously attacking, maligning, defaming and libeling Sathya Sai Baba (the Guru after whom he was named). Apparently, Robert Priddy and Barry Pittard think it is okay for Sai Isa to find defamatory and libelous articles falsely accusing Sathya Sai Baba of homosexuality, serial pedophilia, murder, international racketeering, fraud, human trafficking, etc., and Sai Isa is not supposed to be concerned whatsoever (although his name belongs to the Guru in question)! One could certainly make the argument that both Robert Priddy and Barry Pittard are doing far more harm against Sai Isa by trashing & bashing the Guru he was named after than I allegedly did for simply saying Sai Isa’s name.

Robert Priddy also lied when he claimed that Barry Pittard has “remained unprovoked” by Moreno. Barry Pittard has “remained” so “unprovoked” that, in fact, he linked his Anti-Baba WordPress blog to a website that openly defames, libels and attacks Joe Moreno (apparently approving of those attacks against Moreno). How’s that for “unprovoked”? Although Robert Priddy claimed that Barry Pittard recommended that Ex-Devotees not retaliate against Moreno (a dubious claim at best), Ex-Devotees (including Robert Priddy) have ignored Barry Pittard’s alleged plea because they have “retaliated” against Moreno in the most vitriolic of ways (Ref). Therefore, Robert Priddy’s claims are without merit and he is a proxy defender of Barry Pittard, a man who cannot defend himself and a coward who continually refuses to put himself in a position where he is held accountable for his defamations, slurs and libels against Sathya Sai Baba and others.

Robert Priddy said:

“Moreno’s daily method is to slur, vilify, and to try to scare into submission.”

Don’t expect Robert Priddy to divulge how he and Reinier Van Der Sant traced the name and email of a person (who submitted a critical comment on the ExBaba guestbook) to his place of employment. Priddy and Van Der Sandt sent malicious emails to that person’s place of employment in an attempt to get him fired and to embarrass him. Robert Priddy also attacks any and all Sai Devotees (even those not involved in the Sai Controversy) on his Anti-Baba WordPress blog and thinks he is perfectly entitled to do so with impunity. Therefore, Robert Priddy’ daily method is to slur, vilify and scare others into submission with proof! For example, read the article entitled Robert Priddy’s Moon Madness to see how he viciously attacked a Sai Devotee without conducting even basic research. Needless to say, when others (like Moreno) follow in Robert Priddy’s footsteps, he gnashes his teeth, raises a huge wail and shrieks “libel”, “defamation” and “tu quoque”. Tough luck, Mr. Priddles.

Robert Priddy said:

“Although she is not now devoted to Sai Baba, having taken down her photos and stopped singing his bhajans and so forth, she has not cooperated with her former partner’s exposure activities, as has been a fact well-known to Sai Baba devotees known to her. Again, one sees Moreno’s shocking tendency to argue from a narrow range of dates and making the most elemental infractions of logic.”

As a rebuttal to Robert Priddy’s ridiculous claims, Moreno provides the following facts that wholly refute Robert Priddy’s flimsy and unsubstantiated accusations. Let the reader decide for him/her self as to whether or not Moreno made his argument from a “narrow range of dates and making the most elemental infractions of logic”:

The Truth About The Founder Of The “Baba Sling”
If you are looking for “babaslings” aka “baba slings” on the internet, chances are you have come across Shanti McIvor’s (aka “Padma Ananda”) domain babaslings.com (a website that sells baby and toddler slings under the trademark “babaslings”). Shanti McIvor jointly set up another company in the UK, located at babaslings.co.uk, which is directed by Mrs. O’Connor and Mr. Lucas. The name “Baba Slings” was inspired by the famous Indian Guru Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba when Shanti McIvor and Barry Pittard (her mate and the father of their son Sai Isa) were his devotees.

Shanti McIvor is the founder of the “babaslings” business and it is officially registered under her name (Ref). Barry Pittard was intimately associated with the BabaSlings business, was a promoter of the BabaSlings product (Ref) and his name and person were mentioned throughout the BabaSlings website. Shanti McIvor (with the assistance of Barry Pittard) began her business by selling the baba sling at the Eumundi and Brisbane Riverside markets in Australia (they were seen together by Sai Devotees who knew them well). Both Shanti and Barry advertised their babasling product in direct association with their son “Sai Isa” (who was named after the Indian Guru Sathya Sai Baba). Sai Isa was conceived when Shanti McIvor was 21 years old and Barry Pittard was 58 years old (old enough to be her Grand-Father).

Shanti McIvor & Baba-Slings Website Promoted Barry Pittard:
Barry Pittard defected from the Sathya Sai Movement in 1999 and waged a concerted, deliberate, neurotic, obsessive and fanatic smear campaign against Sathya Sai Baba that peaked between the years 2001 – 2004. Although Shanti McIvor claimed she had nothing to do with Barry Pittard’s Anti-Sai campaign, not only was she coupled with the lead organizer, main spokesperson and most vocal defamer of Sathya Sai Baba during his peak Anti-Sai years, the phone number and address to her Baba Slings business were specifically used for Anti-Sai Activism. Barry Pittard even cited Shanti McIvor as an alleged “witness” against Sathya Sai Baba and claimed that she was his “wife”. The following screen-caps verify these facts:

Take a long, hard look at Sai Isa (the child in the photo above). Cute kid? Right? Before you let your paternal/maternal instincts get the better of you, it is important to remember that Sai Isa was named after the revered Indian Guru Sathya Sai Baba. Both Shanti McIvor and Barry Pittard decided not to change Sai Isa’s name, so he still bears that name. The reason why this is so very disturbing is because Barry Pittard is currently a very vocal and vicious Anti-Sai Activist who spearheads many gutter, smear and hate campaigns against his former Guru, whom he erroneously, obsessively and fallaciously accuses of being a “serial pedophile”, “homosexual”, “fraud”, “implicated in murders”, among numerous other slurs and wholly unsupported accusations. Strange enough, Barry Pittard still believes (even after his defection) that Sathya Sai Baba possesses genuine paranormal powers and even claimed that the Guru foretold the birth of his son (Sai Isa) when he was allegedly observing celibacy.

A day is coming fast when Sai Isa will seek the meaning and history of his name and he will be scarred for life and will probably develop some sort of mental complex after being teased and bullied by others that his own father (Barry Pittard) named him after a Guru he hates, defames and constantly accuses (with no proof, mind you) of being a raping, killing and homosexual serial pedophile who runs “elite pedophile rings” and people trafficking rings throughout the world! This is unconscionable!

Although Shanti McIvor has not publicly spoken out against Sri Sathya Sai Baba, she was coupled with Barry Pittard during his peak Anti-Sai years (never refuting or disagreeing with his Anti-Sai Activism), allowed Barry Pittard to use her Baba Slings address and phone number for his Anti-Sai Activism and thereby silently endorsed him and his shameless defamations, slurs and libels against Sai Baba. The BabaSlings business and Sai Isa are inextricably entwined with Sathya Sai Baba’s person and thus entwined with Barry Pittard and the Sai Controversy.

As one can see, the only people who jeopardize Sai Isa’s future are those who defame, ridicule and libel the Guru he was named after. The harder Robert Priddy and Barry Pittard wage their smear, hate and defamation campaigns against Sathya Sai Baba, the harder Sai Isa will suffer in the future when he will be inevitably targeted by teachers, students and others as being named after a Guru his own father falsely accuses of being a “serial pedophile” and “homosexual”. Sad. Very sad.
