SCHOLARLY FORGERIES

Friends,
That is a good question, see below.
At the personal level, I have heard many positive evaluations as to John Cooper's character.
OK. Good. What about his position with regard to the slanders against HPB?
It would be too easy, perhaps, to get Algeo and Caldwell as the only two people responsible for the pseudo-acceptance of Soloviof, the Coulombs and E. Sidgwick as "historical sources".
To me, the problem is much more of a cultural kind -- the whole culture of pseudo-Theosophy "needs" to use a scholarly mask to put HPB at the same moral level as Leadbeater and Besant. Thus they struggle for their political survival as an esoteric popery.
What about Cooper's scholarly position with regard to the lies then?
That's a good question to Dr. Gregory Tillett and to other friends of Cooper's.
Best regards, Carlos Cardoso Aveline.
