Notice from the JuST Working Group, August 20, 2002.

Since the petition was launched, certain members of the group have been contacted by a number of new witnesses, some known to us to be of impeccable character, whose evidence makes us more certain than ever that SB is a major serial sexual abuser of boys and young men. That these persons have not spoken out in public is regrettable for the cause of protection of minors, but is understandable too considering the situation...

The following person tried to 'sign up' to the International Petition: evarrajesh@rediffmail.com
His entry and accompanying comments were rejected by the JuST group as 'spam' etc to try to discredit the petitioners. That only half a name is given (possibly even that a fake), plus the contents of the comment, speak volumes about the author. There is therefore all reason to suspect that this is contrived information posted by one of the those who have frequently tried to spam the petition with 'dirty tricks' comments previously. Nevertheless, we post it here so that we may also comment on it directly ourselves. Investigations as to the full identity of the responsible individual are currently being made.

The name given: rajesh.d Country: India Duration: 1985 and for ever Student for 14 years (k.g. to degree). Comment:-
look u guys are playing with him and will suerly face consequences. I was at puttaparthi and brindavan for most of my life time and i want to real tell people who are influenced by all these allegations on the media and net that they are being terribly being misguided and that in the ashram nothing of that at all takes place. i ahve been a personal witness to many of the interviews of Sai baba and can swear by my life that i have never ....not even once even felt that baba was trying to behave in a wrong way with any one, be it a girl or a boy. Sai baba keeps away from ladies because he said that people will misunderstand him if he is with them. This is for all those dirty minds who made this website that u accuse him even with males. I think all these websites against swami are made by a bunch of homosexual fucking asshholes who know nothing else and have no other job at all. First of all David Bailey musyt be beaten to death for all the ddefamation he has done. I AM A DEVOTEE AN WILL REMAIN ONE

The first sentence of warning to us above makes clear that "Rajesh.d" reckons Sai Baba will wreak revenge, which again demonstrates the fear of this supposed "all-loving Divinity" which is common to so many devotees. The claim to know that "nothing of that at all takes place" is obviously totally unfounded, for no one has been present to all private interviews (which often take place behind closed doors, not just a drawn curtain), nor has anyone been present all and every night to see what SB gets up to. Besides, SB withdraws to his apartment (now fortified mini-castle) for longish periods daily, where he can freely regulate who is and is not present. Against this writer's claim stand the claims of over twenty victims who have sworn affidavits on oath, plus several times that number of victims reported directly or indirectly by parents, teachers and other informants, many of whom are know to members of the JuST group. The social protection of those victims who do not wish to become the subject of public examination because of the trauma or various other good reasons is paramount to us, or we could have told a gruesome story.
"Rajesh.d." hardly proves himself the beneficiary of 14 years of education by Sai Baba, with his atrocious spelling and grammar etc. He sounds like those bogus 'students' who try to deceive the unwary visitor to SB so as to obtain some favours or other gain. Does his filthy language seem fitting for a Sai graduate? Who knows? He 'thinks' we are all unemployed and are anal rapists, it seems... he thinks far too much and knows far too little. His words proclaim him firmly as another of those 'arrogant and ignorant' devotees. Even so, he is some advertisement for all the values he would supposedly have learned when Sai Baba preaches like 'Help ever, hurt never'... perhaps it is on this that he bases his compassionate view that: First of all David Bailey musyt be beaten to death for all the ddefamation he has done. I AM A DEVOTEE AN WILL REMAIN ONE
These famous last words are clearly a declaration of faith, but what kind of loving devotee does all this indicate him to be? It is not impossible that this posting is aimed at trying to win favour with Sai Baba or others in his mini-imperium.
