Here is how the story in the Daily Mail begins…..

Vanguard fooled lots of people and he fooled the Dalai Lama into visiting Albany. Still the headline is wrong as there was no women branding sex cult at that time. Sex cult, maybe, but it was not branding at that time. In the end it is no more than a nice headline for the yellow press.
Let us hope the Dalai Lama used the money for something better than litigation or funding a moron.
I don’t think the best people could ever be paid to promote something evil, and I never will
In trying to raise (hype) the stature of Vanguard, the Bronfman’s lowered the stature of the Dalai Lama.
In a recent tweet, the DL said, “Whatās past is past, nothing can change that. But the future can be different if we choose to make it so. This is no time for complacency, hope lies in the action we take.”
Let’s hope these words are taken to heart by those in the criminal justice system.
