"Invincibility" has been a TM buzzword for the results of the Maharishi Effect since "Maharishi Effect" itself has been a TM buzzword, starting back in the late '70s, I believe, if not earlier. If recent memory serves, the ongoing course in Fairfield (and Vedic City and D.C.) was dubbed "Invincible America" because MMY was predicting increasing danger for the U.S. if something wasn't done quickly to create coherence here. (I don't see that it's any more "neofascist" than American nationalism generally, but that may not be saying much.)
