"It looks like there is a once in a life time opportunity for a TS historian
to research and publish a full account of the saga, which I suspect still
continues in the background. Such a history is easy to write in the Internet
days. Access to the emails of the players will make it easy to reconstruct
the historical details. Full account, when it is written would likely be
more interesting than a mystery novel."

That sounds very optimistic, MKR. I'm more doubtful. There is an enormous amount of unknowns regarding the circumstances, motivations, means and opportunities of all the players involved. And because of this lack of information it might become too easy to read big concerted actions and organized factional jockeyings into the record as you seem to do. I'm not saying they might not exist, but in absence of  proof we'll have to suspend judgment.

  Subject: Theos-World A Challenge to Historians, writers, journalists





  The 2008 election of the International President is nothing like any of the
  previous ones in the 133 history of the TS in the damage it has caused to TS
  and many of the members. Members in future would be amazed at the events,
  which would read like a fiction.

  First time we had a non candidate candidate. First time we saw the sudden
  allegation of the health of the sitting President. Open electioneering
  continued. After the election, allegations continued about the voting in
  Indian Section, the largest Section. Suddenly the rules and regulations
  became the focus for hair splitters, when members were never affected by
  them. Then came the atom bomb. Attempted coup by disenfranchisement of
  members. Then came the contentious GC meeting where most of the voting was
  sharply divided. Possibly more is going on behind the scenes and keep tuned.

  All that happened do not seem to be spur of the moment type. It looks like
  what we have seen is the tip of the iceberg of very smart strategic planning
  and we do not yet know the full details. Probably, there were plans A, B, C,
  and so on.

  It looks like there is a once in a life time opportunity for a TS historian
  to research and publish a full account of the saga, which I suspect still
  continues in the background. Such a history is easy to write in the Internet
  days. Access to the emails of the players will make it easy to reconstruct
  the historical details. Full account, when it is written would likely be
  more interesting than a mystery novel.

  Any writers, historians, journalists ready for the challenge?
