Here’s a portion of the Wiki report on some events regarding OSHO’s time spent here in the “U.S.”
While you read it please keep in mind that after reading some of OSHO’s works, and seeing some of his speeches I understand that the man stood for things like balance, harmony, civil human interaction, respect, courage and love. He was a charismatic speaker and many people were drawn to him – he was a voice of truth and sanity. But those who would oppress us and keep us dumb animals do not tolerate anyone who holds their hand out in truth - who might show us a different way.
Keep in mind that Their way is infiltration, lies, deception – a twisting of the truth… and … they own or directly control almost every TV network, TV station, radio station, newspapers, publishing houses, – and a whole lot of politicians.
[…also, all emphasis are mine.]
In the week starting Monday, September 16, 1985, Osho, who had recently emerged from a four-year period of public silence and self-imposed isolation at the commune, [this was in Antelope, Oregon] convened a press conference where he stated that Ma Anand Sheela and nineteen other commune leaders, including Puja, had left Rajneeshpuram over the weekend and gone to Europe. Following their departure, he said, he had received information from residents that Sheela and her team had committed a number of serious crimes. Calling them a "gang of fascists", he said they had attempted to poison his doctor and his female companion, as well as the Jefferson County district attorney and the water system in The Dalles. He added that he believed they had poisoned a county commissioner and Judge William Hulse, that they may have been responsible for the salmonella outbreak in The Dalles, and invited state and federal law enforcement officials to come to the Ranch and investigate. His allegations were initially greeted with skepticism by outside observers.
[Then-]Oregon Attorney General Dave Frohnmayer [he was appointed President of the University of Oregon in 1994] set up an interagency task force between the Oregon State Police and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and executed search warrants in Rajneeshpuram. A sample of bacteria matching the contaminant that had sickened the town residents was found in a Rajneeshpuram medical laboratory. Two leading Rajneeshpuram officials were indicted and served 29 months in a minimum-security federal prison.
Planning
Several thousand of Osho's followers had moved into the "Big Muddy Ranch" in rural Wasco County and established a city called Rajneeshpuram. They had taken political control of the small nearby town of Antelope, Oregon (population: 75), whose name they changed to "Rajneesh". The group had started on friendly terms with the local population, but had soon turned negative due to the public's unenthusiastic response to the commune's ongoing expansion. After being denied building permits for Rajneeshpuram, the commune leadership sought to gain political control over the rest of the county by influencing the November 1984 county election. Their aim was to win two of three seats on the Wasco County Circuit Court, and the sheriff's office. Their attempts to influence the election included a "Share-A-Home" program, where they transported thousands of homeless people into Rajneeshpuram to have them vote for their candidates. The Wasco County Clerk countered this attempt by enforcing regulations and requesting that all new voters submit their qualifications to register to vote. In addition, the commune leadership planned to sicken and incapacitate voters in The Dalles, where most of the voting public of the county resided.
Approximately twelve people were involved in the plots to employ biological agents; at least eleven were involved in the planning process. No more than four appear to have been involved in development at the Rajneeshpuram medical laboratory, although not all of them were necessarily aware of the objectives their work served. At least eight individuals were involved with the actual distribution of the bacteria. The main planners of the attack included Osho's chief lieutenant Sheela Silverman (Ma Anand Sheela) and Diane Ivonne Onang (Ma Anand Puja), a trained nurse practitioner and secretary-treasurer of the Rajneesh Medical Corporation. They decided to use salmonella bacteria, purchased from VWR Scientific, a medical supply company in Seattle, and began to grow more of the bacteria at their commune. The contamination of the salad bars was a limited "trial run". If successful, the same technique was to be used nearer Election Day if it appeared that the election was heading for a close race. This second part of the plan was never implemented. The commune decided to boycott the election when it became clear that those brought in through the "Share-A-Home" program would not be allowed to vote. The group also attempted to introduce pathogens into The Dalles' water system.
Investigation
Officials and investigators from a number of different agencies were dispatched to The Dalles to investigate the cause of the outbreak. Dr. Michael Skeels, chief epidemiologist for the Oregon Public Health Division at the time, explained that the incident provoked such a large public health investigation because "it was the largest food-related outbreak in the U.S. in 1984".
Seven hundred and fifty one people contracted salmonellosis as a result of the attack, of whom 45 were hospitalized. There were no fatalities. Although an initial investigation by the Oregon Public Health Division and the Centers for Disease Control did not rule out deliberate contamination, the actual source of the contamination was only discovered a year later.
The investigation identified the bacteria responsible as Salmonella enterica Typhimurium and concluded that the outbreak had been due to food handlers' poor personal hygiene, as workers preparing food at the affected restaurants had fallen ill before most patrons had.
Oregon Congressman James H. Weaver continued to investigate because he felt the officials' conclusion did not adequately explain the facts. He contacted physicians at the CDC and other agencies and urged them to investigate Rajneeshpuram. According to Lewis F. Carter's "Charisma and Control in Rajneeshpuram", "many treated his concern as paranoid or as an example of Rajneeshee bashing". On February 28, 1985, Weaver gave a speech on the floor of the United States House of Representatives in which he accused the Rajneeshees of sprinkling salmonella culture on salad bar ingredients in eight restaurants. As events later showed, Weaver had presented a well-reasoned, if only circumstantial case, whose circumstantial elements were confirmed by evidence when investigators gained access to Rajneeshpuram several months later.
Oregon Attorney General Dave Frohnmayer established a task force between local and Oregon State Police, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Sheriff's office, the Immigration and Naturalization Service and the National Guard that set up headquarters on the Ranch to investigate the allegations. Feeling they would need greater authority to perform an effective search, and fearing that evidence might be destroyed, they obtained search warrants and subpoenas, and fifty investigators entered the Ranch on October 2, 1985. Dr. Michael Skeels found glass vials containing salmonella "bactrol disks" in the laboratory of a Rajneeshpuram medical clinic. Analysis by the CDC lab in Atlanta confirmed that the bacteria at the Rajneesh laboratory were an exact match to those that sickened individuals who had eaten at local restaurants. The investigation also revealed prior experimentation at Rajneeshpuram with poisons, chemicals and bacteria, in 1984 and 1985. Dr. Skeels described the scene at the Rajneesh laboratory as "a bacteriological freezer-dryer for large-scale production" of microbes. Investigators found a copy of The Anarchist Cookbook, and literature on the manufacture and usage of explosives and military biowarfare. Investigators also believed that similar attacks had previously been carried out in Salem, Portland and other cities in Oregon. According to testimony, the plotters had boasted that they had attacked a nursing home and a salad bar at the Mid-Columbia Medical Center, but no such attempts were ever proven in court. As a result of the bioterrorism investigation, law enforcement officials discovered that there had been an aborted plot by Rajneeshees to murder Charles Turner, a former United States Attorney for Oregon.
Prosecution
According to KD, the mayor of Rajneeshpuram, Sheela claimed to have discussed the plot with Osho, but this was never proven. The mayor of Rajneeshpuram, David Berry Knapp (known as Krishna Deva or KD), turned state's evidence and gave an account of his knowledge of the salmonella attack to the Federal Bureau of Investigation. He claimed that Sheela said "she had talked with [Osho] about the plot to decrease voter turnout in The Dalles by making people sick. Sheela said that [Osho] commented that it was best not to hurt people, but if a few died not to worry." […right – whatever - the guy was lying] In Miller's "Germs: Biological Weapons and America's Secret War", this statement is attributed to Sheela. According to KD's testimony, she played doubters a muffled tape of Osho's voice : saying that "if it was necessary to do things to preserve [Osho's] vision, then do it" and interpreted this to mean that killing people in Osho's name was fine, telling doubters "not to worry" if a few people had to die. [.. uhm, yeah – right. And Osama Bin Ladin’s tapes were all the genuine thing too.] The investigation did uncover a September 25, 1984 invoice from American Type Culture Collection, showing an order received by the Rajneeshpuram laboratory for Salmonella Typhi, the bacterium that causes the life-threatening illness typhoid fever…[. Sounds like a set-up to me.]
FitzGerald writes in “Cities On a Hill”, that “most of Osho's followers "believed [him] incapable of doing, or willing, violence against another person". Carus writes in Toxic Terror that "There is no way to know to what extent [Osho] participated in actual decision making. His followers believed he was involved in every important decision that Sheela made, but those allegations were never proven." [Which followers, exactly?]
Osho insisted that Sheela, who he said was his only source of information during his period of isolation, used her position to impose "a fascist state" on the commune. He acknowledged that the key to her actions was his silence.
Osho left Oregon by plane on October 27, 1985 and was arrested when he landed in Charlotte, North Carolina, and charged with 35 counts of deliberate violations against immigration laws. [Immigration laws?? So... I guess they didn't have any other - more heinous charges to press, did they?] As part of a plea bargain arrangement, he pled guilty to two counts of making false statements to immigration officials. He received a ten-year suspended sentence and a fine of USD$400,000, and was deported and barred from reentering the United States for a period of five years. He was neither charged nor prosecuted for crimes related to the salmonella poisoning.
Ma Anand Sheela [Sheela Silverman] and Ma Anand Puja [Diane Onang] were arrested in Germany on October 28, 1985. After protracted negotiations, they were extradited to the United States and arrived in Portland on February 6, 1986. They were charged with attempting to murder Osho's personal physician, first degree assault for poisoning Judge William Hulse, second-degree assault for poisoning The Dalles Commissioner Raymond Matthews, and product tampering for the poisonings in The Dalles, as well as wiretapping and immigration offenses. The U.S. Attorney's office handled the prosecution of the poisoning cases related to the ten restaurants, and the Oregon Attorney General's office prosecuted the poisoning cases of Commissioner Matthews and Judge Hulse.
On July 22, 1986, both women entered no-contest pleas for the salmonella poisoning and the other charges, and received sentences ranging from three to twenty years, to be served concurrently. Sheela received twenty years for the attempted murder of Osho's physician, twenty years for first degree assault in the poisoning of Judge Hulse, ten years for second degree assault in the poisoning of Commissioner Matthews, four and a half years for her role in the salmonella poisoning, four and a half years for the wiretapping conspiracy, and five years' probation for immigration fraud; Puja received fifteen, fifteen, seven and a half, and four and a half years respectively for her role in the first four of these crimes, as well as three years' probation for the wiretapping conspiracy.
Both Sheela and Puja were released early for good behavior, after serving twenty-nine months of their sentences in a minimum-security federal prison. Sheela was deported, and went on to run two nursing homes in Switzerland.
My Brief Commentary:
Well – gee that was awfully light wasn’t it? Especially when we’re talking poisoning Judges and Commissioners… an act or "planned-act(s)" of terrorism even. I think the young man (also in Oregon) who blew up a few cars in a local car lot - in the middle of the night, being sure no person would be hurt, as an act of protest against the current system is serving life for chris' sake!
These people and the other group “leaders” who were involved (but who somehow managed to avoid jail-time) were no friends to OSHO.
And the “friends of OSHO” running OSHO International today are probably the VERY same people - I mean - didn't the chicsa get deported to Switzerland? That's interesting because OSHO International appears to be based in Zurich! Hmmm... Too bad because they now have control of his entire library and hold copyright on most of his material.
They were no friends of his – and they’re none of yours or mine either.
