I am familiar with the Stockholm syndrome as well as the Abrahamic fear-based tradition which was engineered purely to control the masses. I had initially followed Buddhism because of its focus on logic and thus its apparent difference from the Abrahamic faiths, however, as I delve deeper into Buddhism, I find the same Abrahamic threat of hell - if you break samaya, you go to avici hell and die a thousand deaths. What is the difference between Buddhism and the Abrahamic traditions then.
Abrahamic ideologies are indeed based on threats, which are defined as ”the expression of an intention to inflict evil or injury on another”. In order to force people into full compliance with the irrational will of the Jewish ethnic ”god”, Abrahamic ideologies threaten their victims with punishment, which is harm inflicted by the very same ”god”.
Buddhism, on the other hand, is based on the understanding of the dependent arising of actions and their results. There is no more threat in such understanding than in understanding that the mixing of such and such chemicals will produce a dangerous explosion. There is no punishment either, and no one inflicts harm on us except for ourselves.
Besides, the Buddhist disciple is encouraged by our teacher, the Buddha, to carefully check any received teachings, and not to blindly accept them, even if they are proclaimed by the Buddha himself. Also, the
Fifty Stanzas on Guru Devotion, which are based on the sacred tantras, state that the disciple does not have to follow a guru who violates the Dharma precepts.
Therefore, despite any imagined similarities, the difference between the evil Abrahamic ideologies and the pure Buddhadharma is immense.
We are told the Dalai Lama is a Buddha and thus we cannot say anything negative about him.
If we are supposed to reject even the Buddha's own teachings, if they contradict direct perception or reason, why should we not reject the harmful teachings of the evil dalai?
As you can see, dalaite ideologues are hell bent on creating a new infallible authority on the basis of a personality cult, all of which is the very negation of Buddhadharma.
Anyway, there is nothing negative in analyzing and understanding anyone's negative actions; the negativity is in perpetrating such actions, as is the case with the evil dalai.
Also, there is a lot of negativity in praising the evildoer, calling him a ”buddha”, thus justifying, legitimizing, and even sanctifying his evil deeds, which is what dalaites do.
The high lamas are mostly mum about the Dalai Lama so what are the common people supposed to think?
Whatever they find on the basis of direct perception and reason, judging for ourselves, as recommended by our teacher the Buddha.
I know you say that we should judge for ourselves
Not me, our teacher the Buddha says so.
but because we are NOT enlightened, we can only see so much so shouldn't those who are "more enlightened" advise joe public?
We the joe public have already been advised by the Buddha himself to judge for ourselves, and not to blindly follow any supposed authority, not even the Buddha himself.
Why the conspiracy of silence?
The very phrase, conspiracy of silence, ”a secret agreement to keep silent about an occurrence, situation, or subject especially in order to promote or protect selfish interests”, suggests the likely answer.
If you are a parent and know better and see your child being wayward, shouldn't you advise your child? Where is the compassion?
Dalaism, just like Abrahamic ideologies, being as they are conspiracies of silence, are at the service of selfish interests, and therefore exclude compassion.
In the biblical book of Genesis, the gods (Elohim) engage in a conspiracy of silence in order to keep Adam and Eve ignorant, lest the latter two would become like the former several.
In the same way, the evil dalai and his minions engage in a conspiracy of silence, hiding their crimes under the cover of ”being a buddha”, in order to serve their own selfish interests.
This website advocates that the Dalai Lama is a Buddha and that the Dorje Shugden ban is merely a construct for the greater good - to make Dorje Shugden the most popular deity in the world. Well, it has been decades since the ban was instituted and all I see is harm. Perhaps the ban will be lifted soon, and of course I i hope it will be, but what is it all about? Is the Dalai Lama simply an alien who has no compassion for those who suffered under the ban? Or did those who suffered under the ban have the karma to suffer anyway so the Dalai Lama didn't really hurt them directly by the ban? Ergo if I stab someone and kill them, it's not really my fault because he had the karma to be killed?
Indeed. People invent every kind of stories in order to justify their own accomplicity with evil.
Besides, to suggest that a holy being such as Dorje Shugden needs that people suffer so that he himself becomes worldwide famous is nothing short of blasphemous, and nothing but a delusional projection of the deranged, self-aggrandizing minds of those inventing such crude, irresponsible mythologies.
Thanks for reading my rantings, jspitanga. I am simply perplexed 
Yes, samsara and its tricks are indeed perplexing, specially when people mix Dharma with their own delirious, self-aggrandizing projections.
Anyway, it's I who thank you for the honest discussion, which is something so hard to find.
