You're not even making any sense today - apparently it's a meditation retreat on an island that is situated in Clew Bay, County Mayo. Go figure.

They seem to have a lot of places where they promise all sorts of wonders that never materialise and everyone forgets about them. Just as I had forgotten about this place..... "In 2006, the Global Country purchased Inishraher,[41] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Country_of_World_Peace#cite_note-41 a 30-acre (120,000 m2) island in Clew Bay http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clew_Bay off the coast, County Mayo http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/County_Mayo, Ireland with the intention of founding an International Peace Centre, and of designating it as a Maharishi Capital of the Global Country of World Peace.[37] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Country_of_World_Peace#cite_note-IrishIndo-37[42] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Country_of_World_Peace#cite_note-42 Planning permission for two 18-room hostels on the island was approved on 22 July 2009.[43]" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Country_of_World_Peace#cite_note-43 From: "j_alexander_stanley@...

Global Country of World Peace - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Country_of_World_Peace See the section: "Efforts to obtain sovereignty" ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <no_re...@yahoogroups.com> wrote : ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <turquoiseb@...> wrote : Curious about what other territories besides Iceland Alex's bro got stuck "ruling," I found myself on a micronation.org Wiki page dedicated to the "Global Country of World Peace" that contained the following rather provocative statement: "The GCWP has made various unsuccessful attempts at attaining sovereignty as a micronation http://mw.micronation.org/wiki/Micronation during the years 2000 to 2002, offering sums in excess of $1 billion to small and impoverished countries in exchange for the sovereignty over part of their territory." Does anyone have anything to add to this reference? Given the dates cited, it is clear that this happened during Maharishi's lifetime, and that this bribe (there is, after all, no other way of describing it) was offered at his instigation. This brings up several questions. First, obviously, it tends to discredit Maharishi's own description of the GCWP as "a country without borders for peace loving people everywhere."He so clearly wanted it to be a real country that he was willing to try to bribe some poor real country -- *any* real country -- a billion bucks to get the rights to call it a real country. Second, and equally obviously, he didn't feel that the expenditure of a billion dollars was out of the question, financially. I mention this for those who claim that the TMO isn't "really" worth as much money as press estimates say it is. Third, WTF? This includes Maharishi in the same unpleasant group of losers who try to "buy" titles so they can pretend to be royalty. I find it difficult to interpret this as anything but megalomania run wild, but I wait with 'bated breath for TM True Believers to 'splain it all away... I can add something to it. I was watching the Marshy channel in 2004 (?) and he spent an hour or two ranting and raving about the government of Brazil, calling them backwards and anti-progress but without offering an explanation about why he thought that. The local TM teacher was mystified and had no answer other than that the reesh "sees natural laws at a deeper level blah blah..." One swift google later revealed that he had asked the Brazilian government for permission to start his own country around the land that the Maharishi Honey is produced, a country with it's own laws. They obviously said no, I was amazed that anyone would think that any government would give up it's territory to anyone, let alone a religious cult. It's like Jim Jones and the People's Temple never happened! He tried it with another country too, I think he wanted to buy an island off South America somewhere to do it, again with it's own laws etc. I considered it was rampant megalomania, the TMO had its own currency by then and were riding high on a wave of world-changing righteousness due to all the money the millionaires courses in Vlodrop had brought in. Towers of invincibility, raja crowns, what a laugh!
