All organizations adopt subtle techniques to make those who deal with them
to comply with the organizational policies and politics (these are in many
cases intertwined). Organizations make people comply by sponsoring them for
speaking engagements, writing engagements, publishing engagements, as well
as offering "compensated or uncompensated positions or titles" - appointed
or elected (election machines in many of them or one way or other directly
or indirectly controlled - even in the so called democratic  processes). In
some cases some believe in the fear of bad effect s in future lives in not
toeing the party line, especially when the party line is claimed to
originate from on high or from higher spheres. In other cases, indirect
influence is also possible when positions in directly or indirectly related
or associated or parallel activities can be influence by those in the
organizational leaderships. So always one needs to be alert to possible
biases when one reads any publications, pronouncements, postings, blogs etc
etc.. Keeping this in mind will keep our objectivity as best as it can.
