In 1981 the Eastern cult weirdos lived in a commune of 1600 followers and took over the town of Antelope, Oregon. In 1984 the religious cult plotted to takeover the town council elections. They blatantly broke US laws.....they bussed in homeless non-residents from other cities to vote and poisoned 700 American residents with salmonella to make them too sick to vote.
The cult’s 1984 poisoning stunt was the largest bioterror attack in the US. The also planned to poison thw town's water supply until the CDC stepped in.
ALLS WELL THAT ENDS WELL---The cult’s plan failed b/c Americans were too smart for them. The cultists went ballistic --- thy grew violent and plotted murders and arson. In 1985, a cultist burnt down a County Planning Office because it reportedly contained documents relating to a real estate investigation of the cult.
The cult leader planned to flee to but was captured and detained during a fuel stop in October 1985 chauffered in one of his 93 Rolls Royces provided by his weirdo followers.
The (cough) pious cult leader was charged with immigration fraud in connection with the arranged marriages he set up for followers to gain American citizenship. He was ousted from the US.
