Not just the Settle money which we are told is supporting the pundits
in ffld, but the fact that I brought up before that the tmo has
transferred about $200 million from US accounts to channel island
offshore accounts over the past 5 years according to IRS filings
available at guidestar.org. The likely reason that would be given for
this is "it's going to support the pundits", but according to rick the
pundits are actually taking out loans to the tmo when they join up to
support themselves - the "indentured servant" model. I understand
better now the reason for the strict enforcement of no talking to
pundits in ffld (with a couple mum staff having been fired for
chatting with them).
