I heard this earlier in the week. I had to confirm it so I consulted the Prem Bio archives. Sure enough, it's true.

Sally "sal" Sidner- Gainesville. It's verifiable in Facebook photos and posts that this is indeed Sara Sidner's mom. (I can't make out the name for sure on the 2023 Malaysia afterparty birthday video I linked to so you all need to judge what that says for yourself). You can also judge how big a conflict of interest it was for her not to disclose this long standing relationship to her interview subject to the viewing audience.

Also, as Lakeshore's been urging, read Shana's Facebook posts and comments.  

I did not know this until an hour ago. It's known now because more people are reaching out with more info because of Shana's social media posts. I heard she was an instructor a few days ago but the gravity of that made me feel like I was a journalist myself so taking that seriously, I needed another source. How many premies/pwks/students read my concerns and did not come forward with this fact?

It may appear I could have withheld this to maximize impact because of a deeply offensive text message Shana shared today, it is so offensive and vile Facebook makes you click to read it. Surely, it's antithetical to everything Sara Sidner stands for. But the timing is bizarre, not planned, and I know she is working despite announcing a serious cancer battle. I was genuinely sad to hear that.

 Sara, on a personal level, I feel very bad about this horrible timing of all these revelations. But you are a woman I admired very much. I thought you were incredibly cool doing the work you do and standing for the causes you do. I felt betrayed to see you promote Prem Rawat. I felt more betrayed when I realized your mom was a premie. I felt more betrayed when my letters and messages were ghosted. I really wanted you to fix it while you could. I feel even more betrayed now. 

I imagine you'll feel a little betrayed too. That still saddens me. I don't want to cause you pain and I take no delight in your embarrassment or your mother's. I imagine reading that text message will be very distressing. But these are the facts and the timing. If someone wants to dig through my computers they will see that is true.

I only want the truth out there so every person can decide for themselves whether to support Prem Rawat, teach their children to admire him, or be photographed with him as so many are in the recent past. I just want people to have the information to decide for themselves. I don't want to see victims silenced or intimidated either. 

You need to give this a fair hearing and be intellectually honest.
