More On Robert Priddy’s LSD Advocacy

On Robert Priddy’s Anti-Baba Wordpress blog, he published an article entitled “Moreno’s Wilful Deceptions About LSD And Robert Priddy” in which he openly and publicly attacked Gerald Joe Moreno as a “libeler”. Since Robert Priddy attacks Gerald Moreno on Wordpress (and publishes screencaps taken from Moreno’s Wordpress blog), a response is therefore necessary on Wordpress. Let us take a closer look at Robert Priddy’s actual words and see if Moreno’s comments are really “libels” or not (click thumbnail to enlarge):


Some select quotes:

Robert Priddy: “The above libel is just one small example of Gerald Moreno’s fanatical personal attacks and character assassination attempts against me. I have only advocated visiting a forum where drugs are discussed, so as to obtain at least a minimum of knowledge about what their use can involve. Some entries are interesting! I have not endorsed the contents of the forum, nor do I advocate the use of LSD-25!”

Robert Priddy: “My involvement with LSD ended many decades ago, long before John Lennon’s or many other famous persons experiments or outright use of this psychedelic agent. I first took it (as provided for general experimentation by the Minister of Health, Norway) in 1963, and only repeated the experiment twice in subsequent years. I have never advocated the use of LSD! Moreno cannot prove it, and he should take much greater care in what he ‘recklessly’ asserts.”

First and foremost, Robert Priddy has been praising and eulogizing his LSD-induced hallucinations for well over 46 years. Although Robert Priddy whined that his druggy years are “outdated” and “ancient”, it is amusing to note that Robert Priddy eulogized his “outdated” and “ancient” druggy years:

1. In 1988 (25 years later) in his LSD article entitled “TRUTH, BEING AND BLISS - AN AMAZING PSYCHEDELIC EXPERIENCE - Described By Robert C. Priddy - British author & ret’d researcher and teacher in philosophy and sociology, University of Oslo, Norway”: “I try here to give as truthful an account as I can of what befell me in 1963. In the intervening 25 years I have continually been returning to that experience as as source of inspiration and in the hope that the fullest possible light may be shed on it for me.” (LSD Reference).


2. In 1994 (31 years later) in his book “Source Of The Dream”, pg: 16-7, Chapter 2: ‘When the Soil is Ready’: “A totally mind-shattering and subsequently most wonderful and intensely ecstatic experience befell me one day, as if from out of the blue. Much could be said on the subject, as it is an almost entirely misunderstood one and thus very controversial, but I do not believe doing so would appreciably enlighten anyone who has not actually had the very same experience. I am certain that no words can capture the vital nature and truth of such an experience of transcendental consciousness...” (LSD Reference).


3. In 2009 (46 years later) on his Anti-Baba Wordpress blog in an article entitled “Copyright Infringement By SathyaSaiBaba”.

Therefore, Robert Priddy DID advocate for his use of LSD and continually defends his LSD-induced hallucinations as being bona-fide, true and revelatory. What message does this send to people who may want to try LSD? According to Robert Priddy, “if one is well-balanced and fortunate in the circumstances” LSD can give bona fide realizations and revelations. In Moreno’s opinion, this is LSD Advocacy, clear and simple.

Robert Priddy’s Denial: LSD-Visions Were Not Hallucinations:

On Robert Priddy’s Anti-Baba Wordpress blog, he said the following about his LSD-induced hallucinations:

Robert Priddy: “On LSD-25 and alleged ‘drug-induced hallucinations’ Moreno makes false assumptions in dismissing LSD-25 experiences merely as induced hallucinations - it is very far from being so simple. Hallucinations can occur as a result of LSD, but they did not in my case. I was a student interested in psychiatry and psychology and my dose of LSD-25 was actually provided by the Norwegian Minister of Health explicitly for experimental purposes! Only one who has experienced it can have any idea at all of what inner clarity and scope of the mind may be released, if one is well-balanced and fortunate in the circumstances. In that I was in company with many well-known writers and hands-on researchers on the subject (egs. Aldous Huxley, Gerald Heard, Professor Susan Blackmore etc.) The dangers are considerable for borderline psychotics and others, so experiments are definitely not to be recommended to the public.”

In Robert Priddy’s detailed LSD articles (and in a subsequent update added by him after a Pro-Sai Activist found the LSD-related webpages), he never stated that his LSD-25 was “provided by the Norwegian Minister of Health explicitly for experimental purposes”. Robert Priddy specifically stated he first experimented with cannabis then later experimented with LSD when he was 26 years old in 1963 with his friend Eric Steadman (with whom he shared a “perfect unspoken telepathic awareness”) and the entire episode was saved on a tape-recorder he turned on.

Although Robert Priddy wrote about his LSD experiences in depth, he never mentioned anything about any University officials, volunteer testing, Karl Evang or that the LSD-25 he took was “provided by the Norwegian Minister of Health explicitly for experimental purposes”. Furthermore, Robert Priddy admitted he experimented with cannabis before he experimented with LSD in 1963, experimented with “strong bio-chemicals” and LSD years after he experimented with LSD in 1963 and even wrote about another LSD-induced hallucination in 1965. Therefore, Robert Priddy fully acknowledged he experimented with drugs prior to and after his initial LSD trip in 1963. Was Robert Priddy also using cannabis and other “strong bio-chemicals” for “experimental purposes”?

It is also significant to point out that the scientific community (contrary to Robert Priddy’s layman claims) unanimously agrees that LSD is a hallucinogenic drug and is commonly referred to as a “hallucinogen” (Refs: LSD 01 - LSD 02 - LSD 03 - LSD 04).

And let us not forget what exactly Robert Priddy claimed was revealed to him when he tripped on LSD. Robert Priddy claimed he saw (amidst lots of fluff and airy-fairy scenes) his wrist break with the bones sticking out of his flesh, compared the experience to what “schizophrenics may experience with intensity”, that his mind was ”deranged” and that his mind was “shattered into pieces again and again”. Gee, that doesn’t sound “hallucinatory” at all, does it? (sarcasm implied)

Let us take a look at the three people that Robert Priddy cited to support and defend his views on LSD:

1. Susan Blackmore: “I hope that one day soon it will be; that as a society we will prove wise enough to use LSD for its highest potential, not its worst. And for purely selfish reasons, I hope this will happen in time for me to take LSD again in my lifetime and that, like Huxley, I may be able to take it on my deathbed.” (Ref)


2. Aldous Huxley was a humanist and pacifist, and he was latterly interested in spiritual subjects such as parapsychology, Human Potential Movement, Vedanta and philosophical mysticism. He is also well known for advocating and taking psychedelics. Aldous Huxley took LSD on his deathbed and referred to LSD as “a mystical, religious experience”.


3. Gerald Heard was a historian, science writer, educator, LSD advocate, philosopher and friend of Aldous Huxley.

Therefore, Robert Priddy’s current views on LSD are based on the views of LSD advocates he considers as authorities on the subject!

Therefore, Robert Priddy DID advocate for his use of LSD and continually defends his LSD-induced hallucinations as being bona-fide, true and revelatory. What message does this send to people who may want to try LSD? According to Robert Priddy, “if one is well-balanced and fortunate in the circumstances” LSD can give bona fide realizations and revelations. In Moreno’s opinion, this is LSD Advocacy, clear and simple.

LSD Advocate Robert Priddy Refers Readers To A Pro-Drug Website:

Attempting to bolster the case for his experimentation with LSD, Robert Priddy posted the following link on his Anti-Baba blog:

Robert Priddy: For objective source materials and intelligent discussions of LSD-25, see this major Forum

Since “scholar” Robert Priddy (who always boasts how thorough his research is) provided a link to drugs-forum.com (and described it as being “objective” and providing “intelligent discussions of LSD-25”), he apparently researched the site thoroughly and approved of its contents.

Let us take a closer look at drugs-forum.com, a website Robert Priddy described as “objective” and providing “intelligent discussions of LSD-25”.

First and foremost, drugs-forum.com is an international Pro-Drug website where users can request and/or share information on how to take, grow, purchase, make and use all types of illegal drugs, including LSD-25 (Refs: 01 - 02 - 03 or View Entire LSD Threads). All of these LSD-related threads prove that the discussions therein are far removed from being “objective” and do not provide “intelligent discussions on LSD-25” (unless you happen to be a drug addict).

Drugs-forum.com provides numerous threads advocating for legalizing all types of drugs (Ref) and even provides threads about which drugs maximize sexual experiences (Ref). Drugs-forum.com also provides picture galleries so that users can identify hallucinogenic mushrooms, peyote, opiods, hallucinogenic cacti and hallucinogenic plants (Ref). A majority of the posts on the drugs-forum.com domain are chock full of invectives and graphic language. This is the type of Pro-Drug forum that “scholar” Robert Priddy described as being “objective” and providing “intelligent discussions on LSD-25”!

Robert Priddy revealed his drug advocacy and revealed his standards for “objectivity” and “intelligent discussion” by citing a Pro-Drug forum full of invectives that is intended for drug users!

So when Robert Priddy said “I have not endorsed the contents of the forum, nor do I advocate the use of LSD-25!”, he is lying through his teeth. Robert Priddy fully endorsed the contents of Drugs-forum.com and openly boasted that it contained “objective” information about LSD-25 and provided “intelligent discussions of LSD-25”.

After Moreno published his article about Robert Priddy’s loud endorsement of drugs-forum.com, a Pro-Drug Forum intended for drug users (which he described as containing “objective source materials and intelligent discussions of LSD-25”), Robert Priddy rushed to do damage control (just as Moreno predicted he would) and removed the link to drugs-forum.com and said:

Robert Priddy: “Please note: Having looked more closely at the web pages on LSD-25 I had first linked to here I found them partly very misleading and that there was an overall bias towards possibly dangerous viewpoints, though there was also nonetheless a good deal of accurate historical and other materials in them and/or linked to them. As a whole those pages do not represent my standpoint, therefore the link is deleted”

“Scholar” Robert Priddy (who constantly claims he conducts thorough research) argued that drugs-forum.com (a Pro-Drug Forum intended for drug users) contained “objective source materials and intelligent discussions of LSD-25”). Now, however, Robert Priddy is claiming that his initial assessment of drugs-forum.com was wrong and the website is not as “objective” or as ”intelligent” as he first assessed it to be.

Robert Priddy has yet to specifically tell us which webpages on drugs-forum.com (a Pro-Drug Forum intended for drug users) contained a “good deal of accurate historical and other materials in them and/or linked to them”?

Robert Priddy would have the world believe that LSD is simply a great “mind clearer” that produces out-of-body experiences that result in enlightenment and visions of broken bones sticking out of bloody flesh!

Let readers decide if all these facts are indicative of LSD advocacy or not.

And far be it for Robert Priddy to whine and snivel about “libels” and “fanatical personal attacks and character assassination” when he has openly resorted to screencap fraud against Gerald Moreno and has falsely and fraudulently accused Gerald Moreno of being sexually molested by Sathya Sai Baba!

UPDATE: May 27th 2010

Just one day after Robert Priddy hissed about NOT being an LSD advocate, what did he do? Robert Priddy glorified his LSD-induced hallucinations in an article he wrote about Yaani Drucker and said (click thumbnail to enlarge):

Robert Priddy: “I experienced infinity, intense sweet bliss and paranormal intuition of minds and much more when I was 26.”

Robert Priddy is clearly referring to his LSD-induced hallucinations that he had when he was 26 years old. Even 46 years later, Robert Priddy is still describing his LSD-induced hallucinations in glowing and effusive ways that are 100% indicative of his LSD advocacy. Why doesn’t Robert Priddy just state the truth of the matter and say he hallucinated on LSD and those experiences were figments of his imagination and no one should use LSD at all? Robert Priddy will not say these things because he ADVOCATES for the integrity of LSD and he ADVOCATES for the experiences he had while tripping on it.

DMCA Deceit By Robert Priddy

DMCA Deceit By Robert Priddy

On Robert Priddy’s Anti-Baba Wordpress blog, he published an article entitled “Moreno’s Wilful Deceptions About LSD And Robert Priddy” in which he openly and publicly attacked Gerald Joe Moreno as a “libeler”. Let us take a closer look at Robert Priddy’s actual words (click thumbnail to enlarge):


Some select quotes:

Robert Priddy: MORENO IS FORCED TO REMOVE STOLEN MATERIALS
Moreno has illegally posted copyrighted articles of mine from 1987 which I removed from the Internet, and DMCA have accepted my copyright (in contradiction to what Moreno states, knowing full well that the DMCA notice caused wordpress to make him remove those articles from wordpress.com. ‘See notice from wordpress here:-

See also here In short, yet more lying and deception by Moreno!). He compounded his illegal act by posting these articles copiously on blogspot and other sites which do not accept responsibility for copyright violations!

First and foremost, senile Robert Priddy is obviously confusing the DMCA with Wordpress’ Automattic DMCA. These two DMCA’s are not quite the same. Wordpress (as a free blog) simply honored Robert Priddy’s request to have his Pro-LSD articles removed from Moreno’s free Wordpress blog.

Robert Priddy claimed that DMCA copyright complaints were submitted against Moreno to Google and Blogger. Robert Priddy lamented that both of his DMCA copyright complaints were ignored by Google and Blogger (proving that Moreno’s duplication of Priddy’s Pro-LSD articles is “fair use”). Needless to say, if a true copyright infringement had occurred, Moreno’s webpages would have been removed from Google search results and Robert Priddy’s copyright complaints would have been published on ChillingEffects.org (which has never happened).

Therefore, Wordpress’ Automattic DMCA accepted Robert Priddy’s copyright complaints. Google & Blogger’s DMCA and Chilling Effects did NOT accept Robert Priddy’s copyright complaints. Therefore, Robert Priddy purposely distorted the truth when he said that the “DMCA” accepted his copyright complaints. They most certainly did NOT! If the DMCA truly accepted Robert Priddy’s copyright complaints, why are Moreno’s websites still indexed on Google’s search engine and why can’t Robert Priddy supply us with the link to his public DMCA copyright complaints that would have been published on ChillingEffects.org?

For example, do a Google search for “Dan Winter” (who happens to be a “lunatic fringe” Anti-Sai Activist). At the bottom of the page, it says:

“In response to a legal request submitted to Google, we have removed 2 result(s) from this page. If you wish, you may read more about the request at ChillingEffects.org.”

This is what happens when legitimate DMCA copyright complaints are filed with Google. Gerald Joe Moreno clearly stated that Google & Blogger ignored Robert Priddy’s DMCA copyright complaints. Moreno never claimed that Wordpress’ Automattic DMCA ignored his copyright complaints. There is a difference! Read Moreno’s articles for yourself:

1. Copyright Blathering Backfires


2. Robert Priddy’s Copyright Blathering

Robert Priddy Is A Notable Public Figure

Robert C. Priddy created his own Wikipedia page in which he solicited himself as a notable public figure in relation to Philosophy and his former Indian Guru Sri Sathya Sai Baba (whom Priddy once hailed as God Incarnate and the Avatar of the Age!).

Robert Priddy released his biographical data on a personal website hosted by a free, online hosting company in Norway (home.no.net/anir/Nos/). On this free web-hosting domain, Robert Priddy personally disclosed biographical data that included stories of his experimentation with LSD, cannabis and other mind-altering drugs. Robert Priddy deleted these public domain webpages after he defected from the Sai Movement because he obviously feared that those articles would compromise his so-called “credibility” and “integrity” (Ref).

Robert C. Priddy is now attempting to remove his relevant, unsavory, public and self-disclosed biographical data from the internet by crying “copyright infringement” although the biographical material in question was released by him into the public domain as self-disclosure. As a notable public figure, Robert Priddy’s Pro-LSD articles are public domain and are relevant to him, his life, his spiritual views and his philosophical beliefs.

Robert Priddy himself described in great detail how his LSD-induced hallucinations significantly impacted his life, his spiritual views and his philosophical beliefs. Consequently, Robert Priddy’s Pro-LSD articles are noteworthy and fall under “fair use” as this information provides grounds for critical commentaries about him and his status as a Philosopher and notable public figure.

Robert Priddy Is A Copyright Infringer

Robert Priddy gnashed his teeth and wailed considerably about “copyright infringement” and yet he purposely suppressed the fact that Wordpress removed three of Moreno’s copyright protected images from his Anti-Baba Wordpress blog! Robert Priddy published three versions of Moreno’s picture on his Wordpress blog (robertpriddy.wordpress.com). Moreno filed a Wordpress DMCA copyright complaint through automattic.com, was able to substantiate his copyrights and Wordpress deleted the images:

• robertpriddy.files.wordpress.com/2009/02/gjm.jpg


• robertpriddy.files.wordpress.com/2009/03/joe108.jpg


• robertpriddy.files.wordpress.com/2009/03/joe.jpg

So what does this say about Robert Priddy?

ROBERT PRIDDY IS FORCED TO REMOVE STOLEN MATERIALS
Priddy has illegally posted copyrighted pictures of mine from 2004 which I removed from the Internet, and DMCA have accepted my copyright (Robert Priddy knows full well that the DMCA notice caused wordpress to remove those pictures from wordpress.com.

Yet more lying and deception by Priddy! Priddy compounded his illegal act by posting Moreno’s pictures copiously on blogspot and other sites which do not accept responsibility for copyright violations!

Turn about is fair play, Mr Priddles!

However, this is only the tip of the iceberg. Moreno succeeded in getting his copyright protected picture removed from Robert Priddy, Alan Kazlev and Kevin R. D. Shepherd’s official domains (unrelated to Wordpress).

Robert Priddy published Moreno’s picture on robertpriddy.com. Moreno filed a DMCA complaint with pipedns.com, was able to substantiate his copyrights to them and Robert Priddy was required to remove the image (the image now redirects to the Anti-Baba website SaiGuru.net):

• robertpriddy.com/images/joesdetails.jpg

Robert Priddy published Moreno’s picture on saibaba-x.org.uk. Moreno filed a DMCA complaint with homepageuniverse.com, was able to substantiate his copyrights to them and the image was removed:

• saibaba-x.org.uk/Images/GeraldJoeMoreno.jpg

Snap.com also removed this image from their servers after Moreno submitted a DMCA complaint with them as well. Robert Priddy thought he could reference Moreno’s image with snap.com’s screencapture option through his sathyasaibabanews Wordpress blog.

Kevin R. D. Shepherd published Moreno’s picture on three of his domains hosted on 123-REG.CO.UK. Moreno filed a DMCA complaint with 123-REG.CO.UK, was able to subtantiate his copyrights to them and the images were removed from all three domains:

• kevinrdshepherd.info/images/Moreno1web.jpg


• kevinrdshepherd.net/assets/images/moreno.jpg


• citizeninitiative.com/images/Moreno1web.jpg


• citizeninitiative.com/images/Moreno1web%20(2).jpg

M. Alan Kazlev (an associate of Priddy & Shepherd and the webmaster for khepher.net, which is hosted by addr.com) duplicated Moreno’s pictures onto his website. Moreno filed a DMCA complaint with addr.com, was able to subtantiate his copyrights to them and the images were removed:

• kheper.net/topics/gurus/Moreno.jpg


• kheper.net/topics/gurus/Moreno_t.gif

Gerald Joe Moreno also succeeded in getting the largest Anti-Baba domain on the world-wide-web shut-down for copyright infringement until the offending material was removed. See:

- SaiSathyaSai Domain Illegally Stolen By ExBaba Webmaster

Needless to say, one will not find a single complaint coming out of either side of Robert Priddy two-sided mouth about his and his associates proven acts of copyright infringement!

Even more amusing is how Robert Priddy attempted to get Wordpress to remove the following two articles by Moreno (which contained no semblance of copyright infringement and which Automattic claimed were “fair use”!):

- VKN – V. K. Narasimhan – Journalist & Devotee
- ‘Lunatic Fringe’ And Kooks Among EX-Devotees Of Sathya Sai Baba

Robert Priddy is a self-serving and egotistical hypocrite who thinks he is perfectly entitled to act in ways he deems others should not!

Robert Priddy Resorts To Screencap Fraud Again

Robert Priddy Resorts To Screencap Fraud Again

While writing his article entitled David Bailey’s Phone Conversation Transcript From 1999 / 2000, Gerald Joe Moreno found three more fraudulent “screencaps” by Robert Priddy. Click the thumbnail to enlarge:


Discrepancies With The Fraudulent Screencap:

1. Notice the complete difference in width (Moreno’s webpage is set to exact HTML width specifications).


2. Notice the blue background is missing.


3. Notice how the font looks different.


4. Notice a yellow icon next to the red arrow (which has never been published on Moreno’s domain).

In truth, Robert Priddy’s bogus “screencaps” were not taken from Moreno’s official website but was falsified and counterfeited by Con-Man Robert Priddy. Moreno’s webpage is set to exact HTML specifications in regards to width and Robert Priddy’s screencaps are half the size of Moreno’s webpage (proving they are frauds)! View Moreno’s Official Webpage Here and compare it to the “screencaps” provided by Robert Priddy.

Why Robert Priddy would continue to shamelessly and recklessly publish falsified and fraudulent screencaps against Moreno remains a mystery.

Robert Priddy is a liar, deceiver and falsifier who is so desperate and frenzied to smear Gerald Joe Moreno, he apparently needs to resort to blatant acts of screencap fraud and apparently doesn’t care if everyone sees him doing it! Now readers have a better idea why Gerald Moreno often refers to Robert Priddy as a mentally imbalanced “extremist” and “fanatic”.

Robert Priddy - The Anti-Sai-Baba Extremist:

Needless to say, LSD advocate Robert Priddy has a long and established history of distortions, lies, defamations and libels.

1. Robert C. Priddy is a laughable pervert who had the audacity to fabricate sexual molestation claims against Gerald Joe Moreno.


2. Robert C. Priddy is a laughable con-artist who published fraudulent screencaps against Gerald Joe Moreno and adamantly refuses to vindicate his claims by publishing full screencaps to Moreno’s vishvarupa.com domain.


3. Robert C. Priddy is a laughable stooge who attributed his own computer’s IP to Gerald Joe Moreno.


4. Robert C. Priddy is in perpetual denial and publicly defends his laughable SheilaWaring Lie even though other critics have distanced themselves from that controversy.


5. Robert Priddy is a laughable LSD Advocate who even cited a Pro-Drug Forum intended for Drug Users to defend his LSD-induced hallucinations.


6. Robert Priddy claimed to possess telepathy without the aid of LSD and claimed to possess telepathy with the aid of LSD!


7. Robert Priddy is a malicious defamer who was sent packing with his tail between his legs when Leo Rebello Threatened Him With A $1,000,000 Lawsuit For Defamation.


8. Senile Robert Priddy stated that Moreno claimed he was sexually abused under his Joe Apodaca SaiPetition.net Submission even though Moreno never made such a claim.


9. Robert Priddy is a Pseudo-Moralist Clown who loves to attack others for composite images while endorsing and publishing composite images himself!


10. Robert Priddy delusionally claimed that Sathya Sai Baba Personally Invited Him To India.


11. Robert Priddy formerly Worshipped & Kissed Sathya Sai Baba’s feet.


12. Robert Priddy Maliciously Lied About Joy Thomas and refuses to retract his bold-faced lies.


13. Robert Priddy claimed he had a Telepathic Connection To Sathya Sai Baba.


14. Robert Priddy documented a Homoerotic Dream With His Former Guru that involved the guru sucking up and swallowing a substance associated with his sex chakra!


15. The list goes on and on.

Of course, none of these things are surprising considering that Robert Priddy is an LSD Advocate who is thoroughly obsessed with genital oilings and who relishes projecting his homoerotic fantasies onto Moreno. Robert Priddy is allied with Bisexual & Psychic Trance Medium Conny Larsson and Child Porn Purveyor RFJ Sandt and Perverted Fetishist Sanjay Dadlani. Robert Priddy is also a staunch promoter of New Age Advocate & Reincarnator Alan Kazlev and Guru & UFO Promoter Timothy Conway (who actually believes that Sathya Sai Baba may have molested alleged victims like aliens are alleged to do through abductions!).

The only people guilty of running “massive disinformation and cover-up campaigns” are Robert Priddy and Ex-Devotees who have attacked hundreds of Sai Devotees & Non-Devotees alike and who have created hundreds of webpages to defame, libel and smear Gerald Joe Moreno. What more can one do but laugh at loud at Robert Priddy and his hypocritical finger-pointing?

Copyright Blathering Backfires

Copyright Blathering Backfires

Robert Priddy (a caustic critic of Sathya Sai Baba and others) maliciously, publicly and widely published three different versions of Gerald Joe Moreno’s picture on WordPress and adamantly refused to remove them despite official requests from Wordpress to do so. As a matter of fact, Robert Priddy said:

Robert Priddy: I fully expected Moreno to complain against me in tit-for-tat fashion as usual, and he did! Mark of wordpress.com mailed (18 March 2009) to warn me that the person in the image I used several times had complained and asked for its removal! So far I have not complied.

As a result of Robert Priddy’s non-compliance, his Anti-Baba blog was delisted from WordPress results. Consequently, Robert Priddy was forced to remove Moreno’s copyright protected images, which he reluctantly did. Moreno’s three images were deleted by WordPress (Refs: 01 - 02 - 03) after Moreno was able to verify and fully substantiate that he is the copyright holder to the image in question (and thus to any derivative images made from it).

Although Robert Priddy and Kai Nicolai Priddy gnashed their teeth, foamed-at-their-mouths and raised huge wails about the following screencapped picture of them, they have been wholly unable to substantiate their claims to possessing the copyright to that screencapped picture (both Robert and Kai each claim copyrights to the picture in the screencap):


To Date: Let it go on record that:

1. Moreno has never at any time been contacted by WordPress, Google, the DMCA (or anyone else for that matter) about the screencapped image of Robert Priddy & Kai Priddy.


2. Moreno has never at any time been asked by WordPress, Google, the DMCA (or anyone else for that matter) to remove the screencapped image of Robert Priddy & Kai Priddy.

Therefore, it would appear that both Robert & Kai have been wholly unable to provide any verifiable or credible type of documentation that they are the copyright holders to the image in question.

Let this be a warning to other ex-devotees and critics who think they are free to publish Gerald Joe Moreno’s copyright protected picture in their publications. Since Gerald Joe Moreno is fully able and fully prepared to document that he is the copyright holder to the picture possessed by ex-devotees and critics, anyone caught publishing Moreno’s copyright protected picture in their publications without Moreno’s authorization are subject to legal prosecution for copyright infringement with hefty fines.

Screencap Fraud Against Gerald Joe Moreno

Screencap Fraud Against Gerald Joe Moreno

Anti-Sai Activists Caught In A Deliberate Act Of Screencap Fraud
Although Moreno has been saying for years that Anti-Sai Activists are frauds, cheats and liars, there is now conclusive proof that Ex-Devotees are openly resorting to fraudulence by publishing faked “screencaps” of webpages they alleged were taken from Moreno’s vishvarupa.com domain.

On Psychic Trance Medium Conny Larsson’s Anti-Sai website, he published an obviously faked ‘screencap’ of Moreno’s About Me webpage (Moreno’s picture has been covered and the thumbnail pic can be enlarged by clicking on it):


Obvious Discrepancies On The Bogus Screencap:

1. Notice the complete difference in width.


2. The picture is offset.


3. The text is offset.


4. The spacing between the text “~About Me~” and the picture is incorrect.


5. The spacing between the picture and the text is incorrect.


6. The bogus screen-cap states “New Mexico ~” when it should read “New Mexico, USA~” (the word “USA” is completely missing).


7. The line that reads “I’m captivated by India” should be on one line. On the bogus screen-cap, it isn’t.


8. The text on the original page is tightly snuggled between two side-bars. Notice the vertical, pink line on the bogus screencap (showing a gap where the other sidebar was obviously added). This vertical line is nowhere to be found on Moreno’s geocities website.


9. Notice that the spacing between the sidebars is significantly wider than it is on Moreno’s geocities website. For instance, the sentence “For the past 14 years I have traveled many times to India” fills the entire space between the sidebars. On the bogus screencap, there is additional spacing on both sides of that sentence although the extra word “I’m” was added (note that the font size has been set in the html).


10. The line that reads “I’m rational, logical and down to earth. Yes, seriously. I’m Caucasian/Italian/Mexican Blend and 34 years young” is the very last and concluding statement on the page. It is not (and never has been) located in the introductory comments, conclusively proving the screencap was faked.

About the bogus screencap, Psychic Trance Medium Conny Larsson said:

Conny Larsson: (screen captures are from a secondary source on the web which reproduced parts of his vishvarupa.com pages)

Needless to say, Moreno’s geocities webpages were never “reproduced” on his vishvarupa.com domain. Therefore, the claim of a “secondary source” is a bold-faced and gutter lie. Why would critics need to rely on “secondary sources” when Moreno’s geocities webpages are still on the internet? The “secondary sources” admission from critics proves they did not obtain the screencap legitimately or directly from Moreno’s geocities website.

Of course, this is not the first time that Ex-Devotees have published fraudulent information against Moreno. See:

1. QuickTopic Posts And The ‘saibabaexpose’ Lie


2. Cloaked Or Anonymous IP Lies


3. “Fighting The Smears” Articles: 01 - 02 - 03 - 04 - 05 - 06 - 07 - 08 - 09 - 10

Robert Priddy’s Publication Of A Fraudulent Screencap
Robert Priddy (a caustic critic and defamer of Sathya Sai Baba and others) published a screencap on his defamatory Anti-Baba blog that he alleged was taken from Moreno’s vishvarupa.com domain. In truth, the screencap most certainly did not come from Moreno’s vishvarupa.com domain! Even the title on Priddy’s bogus screencap is messed up (whereas the title on Moreno’s webpage has never been messed up).

Moreno still has all his backups from his vishvarupa.com domain going back to 2004 and none of those backups contain the fake URL listed on Priddy’s bogus screencap. As a matter of fact, all of Moreno’s articles (beside pictures) were published under the folder “Fair-Is-Fair” and the links page with relevant redirects can be found here (which has been online since mid-2005 when Moreno moved his Sai Controversy webpages to his newer saisathyasai.com domain).

Robert Priddy’s Bogus Screencap:


The geocities webpages in question were made using geocities webpage-maker. Therefore, all of the pictures and text in Moreno’s articles are set to exact specifications that cannot be easily duplicated on other websites. It certainly appears that someone copied Moreno’s image files and attempted to mess with the html with obvious and messy results!

Important points to ponder:

1. Why would Moreno lie about not duplicating his geocities webpages on his vishvarupa.com domain?


2. What would Moreno have to lose considering that the webpages in question are still available on the internet on geocities?


3. Critics have not (so far) alleged that there are any discrepancies between their copies of Moreno’s webpages and the ones currently online. So what exactly are critics whining about?

How Robert Priddy’s Screencap Was Most Likely Falsified:
A simple way to falsify the screencap is to simply replace the web address with a different one. A simple tactic that anyone can do in a matter of seconds. For example, look at the following screencap. By observing it, one would think that the Albert Einstein template was published on Moreno’s vishvarupa.com domain. It wasn’t. The web address was simply changed and the screencap taken.


These are the types of shameless liars, deceivers and counterfeiters who are attempting to portray themselves as credible and moral voices against Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba!

Critics should come forward with full screencaps to all of Moreno’s alleged webpages and make them publicly available for public scrutiny. After all, what do they have to fear? One is left to wonder why critics are publishing bits and pieces of Moreno’s webpages (many years after the fact) that reveal altered and manipulated text, font and urls.

Even though Moreno’s vishvarupa.com and geocities websites are archived on archive.org, Robert Priddy (being the conspiracist that he is) attempted to argue that Moreno was somehow able to manipulate and deceive archive.org about which content they archived!

Of course, Robert Priddy is an LSD Advocate (who publicly solicited a Pro-Drug Forum intended for drug users). Robert Priddy is also a fierce defender, promoter and associate of Conny Larsson, an ex-devotee turned self-professed Prophet and Psychic Trance Medium! And to top it all off, Robert Priddy fabricated sexual molestation claims against Moreno.

1. If Robert Priddy has the temerity to falsify sexual molestation claims against Moreno, what other stories of sexual molestation is he falsifying as well?


2. If Robert Priddy shamelessly falsified sexual molestation claims against Moreno, what is to stop him from falsifying other information against Moreno as well?
