Just to put things in perspective (now that you've invoked Jonestown): my best friend went down to Guyana to teach TM for over a year in '78-79 and was there when Jonestown happened. According to him, the communist dictator running the country and his government thought the TMers were all CIA agents. Kooks are quick to assume the CIA are interested enough in them to start tapping their phones. We all like to think that what we're doing is important enough that large, powerful governments are going to spend money, time and resources to listen in on what we're doing. It's sad that MMY puts himself in the same category as dictators and disreputable cult leaders (who all, by the way, inevitably start blaming the CIA when their cults get bad publicity).
