In amongst the Easter eggs in this morning’s email box, your correspondent found a note from a reader who appears to be a follower of Benjamin Creme, concerned that my recap of Raj Patel’s situation was inaccurate.  Because, as this morning’s email suggests (quoting exactly), “this story could be the most important story in 2000 years”– and because your correspondent suspects that readers might find them as mesmerizing as he did– herewith, the links to which this morning’s note points:
