Theos-Talk Archives (April 2008 Message tt00188)

Those who have been following the messages here now have some idea of what
went on prior to nominations for International President using the
unsubstantiated ruse that Radha Burnier is in bad health physically and
mentally.

Early this month two examining doctors declared her fully fit both mentally
and physically, the truth has come out in spite of various well known
theosophical names associating themselves with the false information. None,
including Algeo, seems to have talked to Radha Burnier directly asking her
about her health before they nominated John Algeo.

It appears that the origins of the current election maneuverings seems to
have had its origin in 2006 when John Algeo had a hand in changing the
International Election procedure to include the names of the individuals who
nominate the candidates.

It is a well-known technique perfected in the TS elections in the USA to
influence the gullible and uninformed membership to vote for those supported
by active players and politicians. In recent issue of the Theosophical
Messenger in USA, it states in the front page:

""But, I'am not familiar with the candidates!" Since this is a big country
and you may not personally know the candidates on the ballot, we have a
system of nominators. Each candidate is listed with a set of nominators -
others in the Society who vouch for or support that candidate. When you
recognize the names of one or more of the nominators, you can feel more
certain about your vote."

So when you look at the Ballot for International President, you will see the
list of nominators which is expected to sway the gullible and uninformed
members. While Algeo may continue his silence about his role in engineering
his candidature, if we do not hear from him as to what he did or did not do,
all we cannot but come to the conclusion that we see his invisible hand
behind the happenings nothing happened overnight. So for the welfare of the
TS, I hope he will come clean and enlighten us all.
