Robert Priddy - Proxy Defender Of Sai Isa And Barry PittardRobert Priddy (a caustic defamer and critic of
Sathya Sai Baba) wrote a
foaming-at-the-mouth diatribe on his Anti-Baba WordPress blog attacking
Joe Moreno for
“libel”,
“extreme vilifications”,
“slurs” and other equally fanatic accusations (because of a
fully documented and
well referenced article written by Moreno about the history behind the
Baba Sling). Needless to say, Robert Priddy’s rebuttal contained
no factual,
credible or
verifiable material and relied
wholly on spin, deflection and rhetoric.
Robert Priddy erroneously contended that the
BabaSling business is
“unrelated” to Sathya Sai Baba despite the
fact that Shanti McIvor (the founder of the
Baba Sling) was devoted to Sathya Sai Baba when she founded her business, named the
Baba Sling after Sathya Sai Baba, i.e.,
“Baba” and named her son after Sathya Sai Baba (the guru foretold the birth of her son many years prior), i.e.,
“Sai Isa”. There are
no known terms for babies, children, kids, etc., in which the word
“Baba” would apply.
“Baba” means
“father” and Shanti McIvor praised Sathya Sai Baba on her
“Baba Slings” website when it first went online.
Robert Priddy said:
“This maliciousness is further evidenced in Moreno’s conscienceless naming of a young child. This boy, out of childlike curiosity, googled his own name, and found viciously aimed barbs at the father whom he loves. This is a man, moreover, who has for years remained unprovoked by Moreno’s constant and extreme vilifications. Indeed, he has all along recommended to other former devotees whom Moreno has attacked not to retaliate or at least if bent on doing so to avoid malice and heated language.”
Far be it for Robert Priddy to point his self-righteous fingers at Moreno and accuse him of being
“conscienceless” when Robert Priddy maliciously published (in true tabloid-like style) pictures of the lifeless bodies of men who were shot in the 1993 police shootings incident at Prashanti. The mothers and fathers of those men must now endure the
fathomless anguish of seeing their son’s lifeless bodies
cheaply broadcast on the internet like entertainment news. Both
Barry Pittard and Robert Priddy published those macabre and bloody pictures on their Anti-Sai WordPress blogs despite their psuedo-moral and pseudo-conscientious objections against Moreno’s naming of
Sai Isa, whose name was
openly stated,
published and
discussed on Shanti McIvor’s
public domain BabaSlings websites (there were a couple of them) for
many years! As a matter of fact, Barry Pittard
himself publicly divulged that he is the father of Sai Isa and mentioned Sai Isa’s name
in relation to the Sai Controversy. On Robert Priddy’s Anti-Baba website
saibaba-x.org.uk, Barry Pittard said (which Pittard originally published on QuickTopic in 2002):
“...a neighbour Connie Raadsma of Cooma, inspired by stories told to her by Gerry Gibson (still my closest friend and Godfather to our son Sai Isa) decided to visit Sai Baba...”. Therefore, Sai Isa’s name was made a matter of
public domain by Shanti McIvor and Barry Pittard
before I wrote my article mentioning him.
It is also important to point out that the
very first public picture that Barry Pittard released of himself was on MySpace, prominently showing Sai Isa!
After
widely soliciting himself on the internet as an
“international coordinator” to bring Sathya Sai Baba to
“justice” (even
widely advertising his address and phone number on numerous websites), Barry Pittard brought Sai Isa into the foreground of the Sai Controversy by recklessly releasing his
very first picture with Sai Isa.
Let us not forget how
both Robert Priddy and Barry Pittard wrote several articles ridiculing, mocking and
maliciously publicizing the tragic suicide of J. Jagadeesan’s son and the death of his wife! Barry Pittard also wrote an article accusing a high-ranking Sai Devotee of being a homosexual and running a pedophile ring from his apartment in New York!
Unsubstantiated accusations resulting in
no legal action or investigation from
any legal authorities despite complaints allegedly filed by Pittard with New York’s Mayor, Interpol, the FBI and other high-ranking officials. The
only people who are
“conscienceless” are Barry Pittard, Robert Priddy and other
Ex-Devotees. For more examples of
“conscienceless” attacks,

If
Sai Isa googled his father’s name (
Google Results For ‘Barry Pittard’), he would find
numerous articles written by his father
viciously attacking, maligning, defaming and libeling Sathya Sai Baba (the Guru after whom he was named). Apparently, Robert Priddy and Barry Pittard think it is
okay for Sai Isa to find defamatory and libelous articles
falsely accusing Sathya Sai Baba of homosexuality, serial pedophilia, murder, international racketeering, fraud, human trafficking, etc., and Sai Isa is
not supposed to be concerned whatsoever (although his name belongs to the Guru in question)! One could certainly make the argument that both Robert Priddy and Barry Pittard are doing far more harm against Sai Isa by
trashing & bashing the Guru he was named after than I allegedly did for simply saying Sai Isa’s name.
Robert Priddy also
lied when he claimed that Barry Pittard has
“remained unprovoked” by Moreno. Barry Pittard has
“remained” so
“unprovoked” that, in fact, he linked his Anti-Baba WordPress blog to a website that openly defames, libels and attacks Joe Moreno (apparently approving of those attacks against Moreno). How’s that for
“unprovoked”? Although Robert Priddy claimed that Barry Pittard recommended that
Ex-Devotees not retaliate against Moreno (a dubious claim at best), Ex-Devotees (including Robert Priddy) have
ignored Barry Pittard’s alleged plea because they
have “retaliated” against Moreno in the most vitriolic of ways (
Ref). Therefore, Robert Priddy’s claims are
without merit and he is a proxy defender of Barry Pittard, a man who
cannot defend himself and a coward who continually
refuses to put himself in a position where he is held accountable for his defamations, slurs and libels against Sathya Sai Baba and others.
Robert Priddy said:
“Moreno’s daily method is to slur, vilify, and to try to scare into submission.”
Don’t expect Robert Priddy to divulge how
he and
Reinier Van Der Sant traced the name and email of a person (who submitted a critical comment on the ExBaba guestbook) to his place of employment. Priddy and Van Der Sandt sent malicious emails to that person’s place of employment in an attempt to get him fired and to embarrass him. Robert Priddy also attacks
any and all Sai Devotees (even those not involved in the Sai Controversy) on his Anti-Baba WordPress blog and thinks he is perfectly entitled to do so with impunity. Therefore, Robert Priddy’ daily method is to slur, vilify and scare others into submission
with proof! For example, read the article entitled
Robert Priddy’s Moon Madness to see how he viciously attacked a Sai Devotee without conducting even basic research. Needless to say, when others (like Moreno) follow in Robert Priddy’s footsteps, he gnashes his teeth, raises a huge wail and shrieks
“libel”,
“defamation” and
“tu quoque”. Tough luck, Mr. Priddles.
Robert Priddy said:
“Although she is not now devoted to Sai Baba, having taken down her photos and stopped singing his bhajans and so forth, she has not cooperated with her former partner’s exposure activities, as has been a fact well-known to Sai Baba devotees known to her. Again, one sees Moreno’s shocking tendency to argue from a narrow range of dates and making the most elemental infractions of logic.”
As a rebuttal to Robert Priddy’s ridiculous claims, Moreno provides
This Webpage to
wholly refute Robert Priddy’s
flimsy and
unsubstantiated accusations. Let the reader decide for him/her self as to whether or not Moreno made his argument from a
“narrow range of dates and making the most elemental infractions of logic”.
As one can see, the
only people who jeopardize
Sai Isa’s future are those who defame, ridicule and libel the Guru he was named after. The harder
Robert Priddy and
Barry Pittard wage their smear, hate and defamation campaigns against Sathya Sai Baba, the harder
Sai Isa will suffer in the future when he will be inevitably targeted by teachers, students and others as being named after a Guru
his own father falsely accuses of being a
“serial pedophile” and
“homosexual”. Sad. Very sad.
