I am watching Wild, Wild Country on Netflix about the followers of Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh who took over a town in Oregon. This was during the early 80’s and I guess worldwide they were 500,00 strong with what seemed to be unlimited money.

I heard of the guy who later changed his name to Osho but I didn’t know about all the crazy stuff. Was anyone here involved with them or know anyone who was?

It is such an interesting case. They came peacefully to a rural community but the towns people felt threatened. And who wouldn’t when they come in thousands and pretty much take over legally. And the Rajneeshes, in spite
of their love talk turn violent when thwarted by the government.

But how crazy to recruit homeless people from all over the U.S. just so they can register to vote in the county election. Then dump then in the local towns when that scheme is thwarted.
 
Wasn’t there a recent SNL skit about this?

ETA: Ah yes. Found it.
