actually, it was made clear years ago when the program was first announced by the TMO that the World Peace funds *in India* are a for-profit investment. How closely tied they are to the non-profit funds from Western countries is an interesting question. Probably the links are far closer than any of us would like, but there are conceivably legitimate (at least in the sense of fulfilling the World Plan) reasons why this may be so: Paying interest on mortages to purchase the land for the pundits in India, for example. Making sure that rich Indians don't lose their shirts in the investments and thereby withdrawing support for the TMO. Etc.
