SATHYA SAI BABA NEWS (With Updates And Comments):
Does UNESCO Really Protect the Young?

Comment: Once again, we have Barry Pittard regurgitating his venom about the UNESCO withdrawal that occurred almost four and a half years ago. Click Here to view Pittard's slurs, lies and exaggerations about and against Sathya Sai Baba. Despite Pittard's tendency to embellish the truth, he thinks he is morally empowered to criticize and condemn what he sees as irresponsible behavior on behalf of the Sathya Sai Organization!
Barry Pittard (despite receiving a certified copy from the Rahm Family about the extremely poor editing in the Secret Swami Documentary) continued to solicit the BBC Documentary as reliable and accurate. Click Here to view my articles about Alaya Rahm, the Secret Swami documentary and other related information.
Barry Pittard quoted an article from the Rediff.com news agency about how the Sathya Sai Trust received the most foreign donations in 2003. Despite Anti-Sai Activist's accusing the Sathya Sai Organization of fraud, criminal activities and misue of foreign donations, the Rediff.com news agency specifically reported:
"According to a senior official at the home ministry, foreign contributions to Indian voluntary organisations and religious have been steadily increasing over the years: 'Foreign contribution to India have come under strict guidelines and rules; but we have not detected any major frauds in the past two years. We believe all this money is going for right charitable and religious purposes across the country,' the official told rediff.com."
It is also important to point out that despite Anti-Sai propaganda, Sathya Sai Baba's fame and popularity have not decreased. This is evidenced by the fact that the Sathya Sai Baba Trust is enjoying continued popularity and is seeing increased donations, year after year.
Anti-SSB Activists Now Attacking UNESCO
For many years, Barry Pittard and his bandit of Anti-Sai Activists have praised and propagandized Unesco's withdrawal from the ISSE Conference, that occurred in September 2000. Barry Pittard boasted about how he and other Anti-Sai Activists "e-bombed" and applied "pressure" to Unesco and claimed victory when they withdrew from the Sai conference.
Dr. G. Venkataraman, in his article on Radio Sai, claimed that certain High Ranking Indian Officials had Unesco pull their withdrawal notice on their website. Turns out that Venkataraman was right:
Unesco Expressed Regret For The Article They Published On Their Website Relating To The Hearsay And Unconfirmed Allegations Against Sathya Sai Baba
Barry Pittard claimed that the BBC contacted the UNESCO Bureau of Public Information, and were told that the earlier Media Advisory "does not now reflect UNESCO's position"! This is of little surprise considering that Unesco's premature decision to withdraw from the ISSE Conference was entirely due to an unremitting Anti-Sai propaganda campaign spearheaded by Barry Pittard and Glen Meloy.
Now that Unesco and the Flinders University have been made aware of the highly questionable and cult-like tactics employed by Anti-Sai Activists, it is of little wonder that Unesco changed their position that was once based on unsubstantiated, anonymous, misleading and dishonest stories and accusations against Sathya Sai Baba. In the four years since the Unesco withdrawal, not even one alleged victim has even attempted to file a basic police complaint or criminal court case against Sathya Sai Baba for alleged sexual improprieties. Despite numerous claims of "evidence and proof" against Baba, no one has even attempted to bring their so-called "evidence and proof" to a court of law.
Barry Pittard publicly divulged Sue William's contact information (in a cult-like ploy to have other Anti-Sai Activists e-bomb her with complaints). Despite these cult-like ploys and group thuggery tactics, this site will continue to stand in testament to Anti-Sai Activist's deception, lies and dishonesty. Click Here to view the real reason why UNESCO withdrew from the ISSE Conference and the shameless boasting from Anti-Sai Activists on how they accomplished it! As Glen Meloy would say, "Jai Jai Exposé"!
How and Why I and Top Leaders Left the Sathya Sai Organisation
http://home.hetnet.nl/~ex_baba/engels/witnesses/dave.html
Comment: This is an article by Dave Lyons. Funny enough, the new trend seems to be to regurgitate the old and try to pass it off as the new. In this article, Dave Lyons is glibly reminiscing about his defection from the SSB fold almost five years ago! Recently, Anti-SSB Activists, in a desperate attempt to make it seem as if they are getting somewhere (besides nowhere) have resorted to stories and allegations that occurred many, many years ago. None of these articles give any new, pertinent, recent news concerning allegations made against SSB. Click Here to view my email correspondence with Dave Lyons. Also Dave Lyons solicits The Findings by David Bailey. Despite the many discrepancies in The Findings, Dave Lyons refuses to read about these critical discrepancies (admittedly so). Consequently, Dave Lyons continues to blindly believe negative stories, whose other side, he admits to caring less about reading about! Click Here to read my pages about The Findings.
The Nature of a Cult by David J. Lyons, Ex-President of the Center of Greater New Orleans

Comment: Once again, Dave Lyons is repeating the same cult rhetoric that he has been repeating for years. All of the information in Lyon's article has been discussed extensively in the "Recovery" section on the ExBaba website.
The Hislop letters & the Sai Org.'s cover-up on cover-up

Reaction to the letter of Dr. John Hislop
http://home.hetnet.nl/~ex_baba/engels/articles/reactiononhislop.htm
Comment: Reidun Priddy (wife to Robert Priddy) gave her two cents about the alleged Hislop Letters. In her article, Reidun Priddy said that she was devoted to Sathya Sai Baba from 1983-1999. This contradicts her signature on SaiPetition.net in which she claimed she was devoted to Baba from 1983-2000. On SaiPetition.net, Robert Priddy claimed he was devoted to Baba from 1983-2002. This would mean, of course, that Reidun Priddy left Sathya Sai Baba 2 years prior to Robert Priddy. This is simply untrue. Elsewhere, Robert Priddy gave another date for leaving Baba as "2000". Robert Priddy left Sathya Sai Baba sometime between 1999-2002. This would imply that Robert Priddy was faking his devotee status for several years. One can only wonder why.
