The poster asked if they were American citizens, not if they were white... immigrants can be of any race.

First, there was the Rajneeshpuram in Wasco County.

Then there was the Netflix documentary Wild Wild Country.

What's next? The movie:

“The bizarre true tale of the Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh and his followers in Oregon riveted viewers as the Netflix docuseries, “Wild Wild Country.” Now, the story may be coming to the big screen. Priyanka Chopra, best known in the U.S. for starring in the TV series, “Quantico,” says she’s developing a movie based on Wild Wild Country.” https://www.oregonlive.com/entertain...ka-chopra.html

What's your point?

It's over and we're glad it's over, so why dredge it up?

Speak for yourself. Some people find it interesting. No need for you to even have opened this thread since it's not your thing.

One thing I often think of when I open a bottle of food, medicine, etc. We have those seals, because that group were going into stores, opening bottles and injecting poison to kill off non believers, to take control of the area.

So when you remove a seal, is was this group that made seals required.

I remember an interview on Phil Donahue. The spokesperson for the cult was a woman. Maybe Sheela? And another woman who was a local. Maybe someone from the city council? The cult person kept calling her Miss Piggy. The group was in the news quite a bit back in the day.

It's a tragedy that Rajneesh delegated all the operations at Rajneeshpuram to a criminal: Sheela. You could say she destroyed the commune. She was prosecuted, spent some time in prison, but she should have been executed. I don't believe Rajneesh (changed to Osho) was behind any of it. He felt that women were overlooked for too many years, and he appointed all these women to run things, with Sheela as the head honcho. Before he found out what she had been up to, and firing her, it was too late!

The movement in OR may have been exterminated, but the followers of Osho continue on, and multiply. People fly from all over the world to the Osho Center in Poona, now the 2nd most visited site in India, next to the Taj Mahal.

I've been a follower of Rajneesh/Osho for years, and back in 1995, I made a special trip up to Antelope to pay homage to him, and what could have been. And I've also been to Poona.
