At least one of those canned "intreviews" of Rawat in magazines you cannot buy or subscribe to, was organized by a PR firm in Chicago.

I am pretty sure that the Pascotto clan and the rest of the TPRF crowd (I assume Tim Gallaway, maybe the big-eating Frenchman (Jean Marie), and a few others) are all who are really involved from the cult side.

I suspect that an outside PR firm designed the "campaign" always tempered by what Rawat is willing to do, and given the severe problems.  I am sure the whole strategy was to try to gain legitimacy by associating with the legitimate, pretending, spinning, and avoiding publiclity that the cult couldn't completely control.  I am sure the PR firm(s) were paid big bucks for this.

So, what do we get?

First, all those controlled and canned, articles which are just PR vehicles and are not subject to critical review and are seen by very, very few people, yet Rawat can brag that he was "interviewed" in "Elandu Magazine." (One wonders if premies or the public might notice that Rawat is only ever interviewed in magazines one has never heard of.  Coincidence?  Divine Plan?)

Then, there was the whole "UN Thing" which is such an amazing joke.  Speaking at halls rented from the UN and pretending it was AT the UN, doing those fake, UN promotional events, whatever they are, and then doing press releases nobody sees about whatever they were.  One cannot tell from the press releases what actually happened, if anything..

Raise a few thousand dollars for the cult's own organiazation to help Tsunami victims, with no accountability for how the money is spent, and finally, rent halls at prestigious places like Harvard, Oxford, etc., and try to get legitimacy that way, and then do some rather strange, unexplained events at various government legislative buildings with very unclear information as to what it was, who was there, of what in the hell actually happened, all the while pretending that the government of Italy or Australia actually invited the former Lord of the Universe to speak at their parliaments.  Yeah, right.

Then there was the Burt Wolf interview -- which I am sure was arranged through PR firms and cost plenty of dough.  But what has happened to Burt?

I can't wait to see what's next.  Maybe Rawat will speak at a hall rented from Greenpeace, and then Rawat will pretend that he is an environmentalist, despite his wasteful extravagances, like flying around the world in his own, private, Gulfstream Jet, and taking helicopters to the airport because driving is just oh, so hard.
