Baba’s FBI Report (1958)
Was Merwan S. Irani Un-American?
Under the Freedom of Information Act, the FBI’s investigation of Meher Baba (aka Merwan Irani) was made available to the public, so I requested a copy some years ago. The other day a Baba-lover told me that he had asked for a copy recently and was surprised to be told that the FBI had destroyed the report in January 2011. I therefore decided it was time to post it online. The blacking out of names or other info was done by the FBI. —Kendra
Just for the record, I was the one who requested this under the freedom of information act. It was back in the mid 90’s and it took about 3 or 4 months to process the request to get it.
I bet some of the redacted names are “Kashouty” and “Winterfeldt”.. someone knowing their Baba history could probably determine who the two sisters were, one just graduated, one married, and their paranoid Mama, running off to the Feebs with tales of Communist Brainwashing..
