---Yeah but the Fundie's have won the battle (not the long term war). Since Carter's Presidency, the Fundies have more or less Shangheid the executive branch of government, with plenty of right-wing big brass Fundies (even going back to the Reagan era - e.g. Oliver North) , secreted in high places within the pentagon, CIA, NSA, etc. As to numbers, the TM Movement has almost become extinct but the fundie Evangelical movement has burgeoned into a humongous powerhouse of influence. You could probably count the numbers of active TM'ers in the US in the thousands (a few thousand); but the largest Megachurch in the US (in Houston- televangelist Joel Osteen) , draws in 20,000 every Sunday. Even small towns all across the Midwest practically have a Church for the fundies in every square mile. They're coming out of the woodwork. Something stronger than TM-ocide spray will be needed to deal with the pestilence. Somebody - some remarkable Guru - must appear on the scene with a visible demonstration of Siddhis. > > And Fundie Carter's, Magnum Opus was the big fuck-up in Iran. He allowed Ayatholla Khomeni to take power. I think, he sent just three helicopters. > > --------OriginalMessage--------- > From: "bbrigante" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: Fri, 23 Dec 2005 21:23:15 -0000 > Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: the false guru test > > Guru Bev's old digs on campus did contain an $18,000 marble bathroom -- however, he now lives in Vedic City when he's not in Vlodrop -- no word on the marbleness of his toilet. > > Maharishi was a target of the CIA because he was targeted by that peanut-farming moron, Jimmy Carter. Rick Archer has posted here before about MMY's meeting with Carter in the Georgia governor's office not long before Carter became President (a hilarious scene -- Carter praying on his knees when MMY walked into the office). Carter felt that MMY was a threat to Christianity and determined to meet the enemy and find a way to derail him -- fortunately, like most of Carter's muddled thinking, the CIA's efforts fizzled out. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > --------------------------------- > Yahoo!
