...or just downsizing? They're auctioning off 1/3 of their FF land holdings. In the disposal, the larger farm ground parcels of the average ground brought about $3,000 an acre, bought by local farmers. The smaller extremely nice (CSR) farm ground parcel brought about $6,000 an acre, bought by a farmer too. The parcel with the office building used as a MSAE school was bought for about $300k `by someone from Arizona'. http://download.globalcountry.net/emailing/ 2009_12_10_auction_announcement.pdf Dear Supporters of Invincible America, It is a great joy to announce that on Tuesday, December 15th beginning at 10:00 a.m. CST, Global Country of World Peace will make available for sale at auction one of the most beautiful buildings in our Invincible America community and a number of parcels of organic farmland totaling 600 acres. This auction will continue Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday morning. Please see the announcement for details of when each parcel will be sold. Since Global Country of World Peace owns quite a lot of land in the community we want to make about 1/3 of it available for those who wish to take advantage of prime organic real estate along Route 1 and inside Maharishi Vedic City for development, organic agriculture or residential or commercial uses. We feel this will help stimulate faster growth in the community and make property available contiguous to Maharishi University of Management, between MUM and Maharishi Vedic City, and within Maharishi Vedic City. In addition, proceeds of the sale of these properties will be used to support Global Country of World Peace Movement activities in the community and around the country.

Going back in to the Guyfawkes Critique. Is not the MUM Bd. of Trustees independent enough now to retire Bevan? Make him ameritus? He got sacked as pres of the trustee. Time come now to sack him as Pres of the university. He has done enough in 30 years. Get him out of the way entirely by just keeping him as a lecturer? He could be fabulous if he'd let himself just be that instead of trying to wag the dog. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, guyfawkes91 no_re...@... wrote: The obvious candidate for the next round of land auctions is the university in Kansas.

Teaching Meditation, Credulous Donors, Vanity Projects the 'Nut Jobs in Crowns'. Yes, goes back to your combined critique about credulous donors, vanity projects and nut jobs in crowns (robes too). Sucking money out of credulous donors evidently was a type of viable business model that Maharishi could pull off.Obviously is different going on now with the demise of Maharishi and things will take different controls since Maharishi's. Seems viable assets they got could be 1) TM 2)Consciousness-based education (the schools). Some health products, The Raj, some publishing (all related), and then whatever real assets left they have found. Most everything left over like that downtown Manhattan building are those kind of assets that cost money or time to keep and not necessarily in their line of business' hence in discovery they're now liking to sell. The vanity assets that are not really in the core business but become distractions that drag on the core it seems are on the block. Either wasting money, time of the remaining core business or of (credulous) donor supporters. Then as a category there are those other ethereal meditation-programming 'assets' like Purusha, MD, pundits too requiring budgets to run, costing cash to keep up, yet also generate funds from credulous well-wishing supporters. These are defining in their way that run along with the other meditation assets. Special in their way with the meditation business and with credulous supporters. These assets regardless, their 2010 'business' model hinges a lot on the management of nut jobs in crowns balancing meditation, credulous donors, vanity projects,. Is interesting if for no other reason that they have effects on a lot of people still. Anybody seen a 2009 balance sheet and income statement for any of the TM entities? Would they have the courage to publish them? http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/message/236703

Where so little coercion exists, where so much responsibility rests on individual loyalty, one person, taking advantage of the trust reposed in him, by signing a document, or by secret, ill-judge investments, may deluge a whole society with debt. This has been frequently done. from Shakerism 1904 Sober warning. Is also the precarious position of having a Raja like that German TM-raja or a Conhaus get up in robes as representatives and thence publicly derail a lot of carefully placed PR capital by poor antic. That imbecility is a little different from someone like a Jeffry Wells, for instance on leaving the inside evidently taking and walking with $50k out of the University operating budget as he left the inner circle. That apparently stunned the operation for a while. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Vaj vajradhatu@ wrote: ...or just downsizing?

This Guyfawkes Critique reads a good one. Is a critique that catches a lot of aspect. Reflects on a lot of this since way back. The Guyfawkes Critique: the plane was kept in the air by credulous wealthy donors. Now the machinery meets the geology and we have what's known as Controlled Flight into Terrain. That's aviation terminology for flying a perfectly serviceable aircraft into the side of a mountain due to pilot error. In this case, the underlying idea is perfectly good, and there's a viable business teaching a good mediation technique to the general public. But there's not a viable business in sucking money from wealthy donors so that a bunch of nut jobs in crowns who think they rule the world can spend it on vanity projects. The danger is that the good part of the business will go down the toilet with the bad parts.

I can't quickly find a list of requirements, but the term organic farmland is pretty standard, not just something the TMO dreamed up (if that's what you were suggesting). For example: http://www.ers.usda.gov/Data/Organic/ The question in my mind would be whether the land in question is USDA *certified* organic farmland. I would guess it means farmland on which synthetic fertilizers and pesticides have not been used for a certain amount of time, among other practices that are either required or prohibited.
