Does the TMO put out "fake superradiance research"?
In this case, the TMO wasn't in a position to make a
claim, with or without research, for exactly the reasons
you state: getting rid of Marcos was not the goal the
project had announced.
But might it have been *nature's* goal?

You think he would have been receptive to the opposite
message? Or was convincing him it would benefit him
the only way to even begin to make any TM inroads in
the Philippines?

Could be (but according to Rick, quite a few people
*did* learn). And Philippine democracy isn't in such
great shape at the moment, but it certainly had a
hopeful start.
MMY is obviously not very sophisticated in his knowledge
of political science and government. I doubt he was
all that well informed about what was going on in the
Philippines under Marcos; I *very* seriously doubt he
supports the kind of oppression and corruption that
was characteristic of Marcos's regime.
What MMY did know was that with Marcos's support, he
could introduce TM to the country. But what happened
from there on was up to nature, not MMY. I'll bet he
would agree with that.
There *is* such a thing as doing the right thing for
the wrong reasons.
