Episode 3: Poisoning the Well

Divine Magic: The Doctor Dahesh Chronicles — Episode 3: Poisoning the WellIn this third installment, we show how — based on his own printed words — Raphael Cormack’s overarching goal is to keep the world safe for scientific materialism by scapegoating Doctor Dahesh.To do so, he relies on a post-war smear book… and the network behind it… that poisoned the well of public opinion — a book he treated as credible academic source material, despite its roots in state-sponsored slander.Too bad. Because central to our defense of Doctor Dahesh is The Expelled Traitor —
a 722-page 1979 volume of facsimiles, letters, sworn testimony, legal filings, and rare archival documents.
It vindicates Doctor Dahesh… and obliterates Cormack’s narrative.If only he had read it.
If only he had interviewed even one Daheshist — or anyone who actually knew Doctor Dahesh. Whether friend or fiend.Instead, he revived discredited claims and legitimized them.
His 2024 book leans on recycled propaganda, while ignoring or omitting The Expelled Traitor — to keep the world safe for materialism.Rather than speculate, we anchor this episode in primary sources:
– Farida Kattan’s 1936 letters warning that Abd al-Raheem al-Shareef was poisoning her son against Dahesh
– A 1945 letter from Al-Shareef to Youssef Malak, on official letterhead
– Marie Hadad’s 1946 rebuttal to the tabloid lies about her daughter Magda
– And othersThese documents reveal misattributed agency, manufactured narratives, and a pattern of citation that elevates hostile texts while sidelining contemporaneous rebuttals.We also examine the responsibilities of scholars — and readers — in cases like this.
When lives and legacies are on the line, due diligence and fair representation matter.Episode 3 isn’t an exercise in nostalgia.
It’s a call for source hygiene.By returning to the original materials — especially The Expelled Traitor — we begin to challenge the storyline that painted Doctor Dahesh as a fraud and moral deviant.The result? A clearer, documented picture of how the well was poisoned —
and what it takes to begin cleansing it.But that’s not all.
Stay tuned for Episode 4.
