I began reading the New Yorker article with hope and came away pissed off. But I wasn't surprised. I came away wondering if the writer was not a Butler follower laying out Tulsi's campaign strategies and spin.
You will not find out what Tulsi really believes if you read this article by publicity writer Kelefa Sanneh.
To promote Tulsi, this lazy journalist ripped off 10 years of our research on the Cult Ed forum and dismissed all who have suffered in the cult. I doubt he interviewd one ex member, but he says he spoke on the phone with Chris Butler.
No one asks Tulsi the hard questions. She is lying if she claims she was not aware of any abuses in the cult in spite of her elite status. "Christ-like" indeed, Trey.
Cui bono?
When looking at any article or statement, you have to ask "Who benefits?" You will be hard pressed to find out who has controlling interest in the New Yorker.
If nothing else, Butler is aware that he is detrimental to Tulsi's career in politics. They are laying out their new strategy. They can no longer deny she grew up in a cult, but they can change the language and attempt to change perceptions. Check out all the same old SOI euphemisms in the article. "Gee, we're just a band of friends who get together and surf and do yoga!" "Servant leadership!" "Home schooled." meh . . .
What is heart breaking is how dismissive the writer was in regards to people who have been genuinely harmed by the cult. It's like how the media trashed Corey Feldman over child abuse acusations. Somehow a switch gets flipped in people's minds to not believe the truth.
Sadly, we lost one of Butler's escapees to cancer recently. Perhaps the daughters who were deprived of his presence for 30 years will come forward now. He feared coming forward publicly and his story may be lost.
I am so angry at the incompetence of the New Yorker writer who never explored the machine behind Tulsi's political career, nor the ravages of the cult on others. Maybe he's interviewing for a position in her administration . . . ?
What does Tulsi really believe? Christine Gralow's article about Butler is real journalism.
