What does the Amazing James Randi think of 
Blavatsky & Theosophy?

See:

Notice some of his statements:

====================================================

she contacted the "mahatmas,'' 
adepts who lived in caves and taught her the mysteries 
she was to subsequently teach. All these tales are 
highly doubtful. 

=======================================================

LIVED IN CAVES????

=====================================================

...she eventually was employed by the spirit medium Daniel 
Dunglas Home as an assistant, where she doubtless 
learned some of the "tricks of the trade.''

=========================================================

In India, HPB flourished as a cult figure for several years, until a 
housekeeper who had formerly worked as a magician's assistant exposed 
the tricks by which Blavatsky had been fooling her followers.

===========================================================

the housekeeper "had formerly worked as a magician's
assistant"????? NEVER HEARD OF THIS CLAIM BEFORE!!!

===========================================================

....it was revealed that she had deceived a disciple by hiring an 
actor wearing a dummy bearded head and flowing costume, to 
impersonate the mahatma Koot Hoomi. 

========================================================

So does Bart also believe this about impersonating KH????

========================================================

Madame Blavatsky wrote several mystical books, among them Isis 
Unveiled (1877), which was shown to have been copied from previous 
works of other authors....
