 Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
 Di: A passage reads: "Dr. Raschke said the intellectual
 Di> traditio behind occult groups like Mr Jouret's can be traced to the

 Di> practicioner of magic and founder of secret societies, most notably
 Di> the Ordo Templi Orientis." 
 Damning with faint... uh... mention? If that's exactly what he said, then
 it's hard to argue with it. It *IS* a rather sneaky way to associate the
 Solar Temple people and the OTO in the reader's mind, IMO.
 While one could make a case for an argument that, say, Westcott and Mathers
 deserve more credit than Uncle Al, you'll find a hell of a lot more people
 have heard of Crowley than them.
 It's opinion presented as if it were "expert testimony" (and a sneaky swipe
 at the OTO, IMO), but hardly outright lie, I'd say.
 Love is the law, love under will.

That word "cult" is one of the more potent propaganda terms in contemporary
society: produces a spasm of fear, distrust, and hatred without the
listener's conscious thinking ... much like "communist" in the 50s/60s.
