I wrote the following which Radford conveniently quotes back to me - it's his comment following it that puzzles me - "Tried looking up sites on the Argentinian White Helmets, who do some good work - they were involved in relief work in New Orleans after the hurricane flood devastation there - unfortunately, their website is in Spanish - if anyone is able to speak/write Spanish it could be worth letting them know who their latest benefactor really is - a con-merchant out for prestige and tax exemption." Radford writes "Silly boy Arthur, silly boy, ask the blimp which code you slipped up on. " My response involves more details on the genuinely excellent work of White Helmets - "As this discussion is mainly for the benefit of people contemplating whether or not to read Cagan's book, (to which I would reccomend that they do but with some external comparisons rather than just in itself), your oblique reference to some alleged error in my assessment of the Argentinian White Helmets and their Spanish website http://www.cascosblancos.gov.ar/ is obscure - probably deliberately so - you should at least inform the readers who the 'blimp' is. It's no way to really describe Maharaji anyway. - not for you. Perhaps you should enlighten us as to which 'code' you are on about as I haven't got a clue. The statement above still stands. The White Helmets are in no way Maharaji's initiative. They are a genuine inovative Humanitarian idea created by the Argentinians, and with White Helmet teams now developing around the world. http://www.un.int/argentina/english/arg-initiatives/initiatives-arg3.htm and http://www.unescap.org/unis/unfocus/unfocus2/unpk.htm Maharaji, in his Prem Rawat, Humanitarian disguise, is trying to ingratiate himself into their activities, just as he is putting on a veneer of Humanitarianism with other perectly respectable bodies like Oxfam. The White Helmets do depend on private subscriptions rather than government funding. This exposes them to the danger of Maharaji and others eager to be 'seen' buying into the appearnace of giving a damm are able to send money to gain prestige and acolades - while many of the White Helmet supporters (volunteers and financiers alike) are undoubtedly sincere, the motives of a group like The Prem Rawat Foundation, - the Maharaji led Divine Light Mission - Elan Vital cult's latest guise - should make the White Helmet organizers extremely cautious. http://www.luxner.com/cgi-bin/view_article.cgi?articleID=114 The White Helmets often get to work in areas where the UN Peace Keeping forces make few inroads, such as the Near East as many there mistrust the UN, seeing it as a US government operation. The White Helmets are seen as having a more independent less political approach. Ther dependence on capitalist sponsorship could however ultimately undermine their good work, especially when the personal greed of some of their sponsors, such as Maharaji (Prem Rawat) inevitably comes to light, and people assume that others offering money earned more openly and honestly, are from the same morally bankrupt stock." Is there however some obvious 'code' or point I am missing or is Radford bluffing ? His ally Lawrence meanwhile just seems to be going on about how he could beat me in a bladder control contest. To quote "I don't see the point to a pissing contest but if we did I'd drown you." Lovely. http://www.lulu.com/content/757452 My book on Maharaji - BRAINWASHED!
