		It was the first known bioterrorist attack of the 20th century in the United States, and is still known as the largest germ warfare attack in the U.S. Eventually Sheela and Ma Anand Puja, one of Sheela's close associates, confessed to the salmonella attack and to attempted poisonings on county officials.
		In May 1985, Sheela called a meeting of Rajneesh's inner circle to plot the assassination of Charles Turner, the U.S. Attorney for Oregon, after the attorney was appointed to head a grand jury investigation into the commune.
		Ma Anand Sheela's headquarters, a group of mobile homes pieced together, was a hive of secret doors and hidden tunnels, her private room a command post with electronic listening gear tapped into every room in the development.

		Comments by his public spokeswoman, Ma Anand Sheela[?], only increased tensions, and were not helped by Rajneesh's vow of silence.
		But perhaps the most bizarre turn of events was when an outbreak of salmonella in a salad bar at a restaurant in The Dalles was traced to the acts of his followers.
		About this time, Sheela was removed from her post in the Rajneesh's service, and shortly afterwards left for Germany.

		Sheela still maintains that she was innocent, and simply became a convenient scapegoat for everything that went wrong at the Ranch.

		Spokesperson Ma Prem Sunshine assured Hinduism Today that the most serious effect of recent defections, crimes and policy changes at Rancho Rajneesh "would be the wardrobe." She was referring to the dismantling of rules that required followers to wear sunset colors and Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh's photo on a necklace.
		Skeptics, and enemies, wondered aloud whether the media-savvy Rajneesh and Sheela might have concocted the whole thing to defuse and divert immensely negative PR against the group, painting Sheela a scapegoat and Rajneesh the innocent victim of her ambitions.
		Ma Prem Smita confessed that the "absurd had become normal and those who refused to toe the line were punished, subtly or grossly, but punished.

		This fall Sheela said she "would paint the bulldozers with my blood" if the county tried to tear down the ranch, then announced on national television that all of Oregon would someday be Rajneesh.

		While the Bhagwan's chief aide Ma Anand Sheela was declaring the movement's plan to operate a simple farming commune in the desert, his other disciples were busy in the background developing grand plans for a huge resort city for up to 100,000 Rajneeshees.
		Sheela, along with two other disciples, were accused in a 1985 federal grand jury indictment of plotting the unsuccessful murder of the Bhagwan's private physician.
		And the Bhagwan himself broke his own vow of public silence in September 1985 with a scathing attack on Sheela and a half dozen of her allies, claiming they had betrayed him and his followers and that they had stolen $55 million from the commune.

		There is, of course, always the possibility that such a high-minded enterprise would turn out to be a repetition of the fiasco suffered through a few years ago in Antelope, Oregon, by the followers of another charismatic Asian, the Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh.
		There, after an initial euphoric experience of unity in diversity, it developed that Rajneeshism and its sacred book were the creations of an enchantress, Ma Anand Sheela, who, repeating the experience of many a Western con artist, got out of town one jump ahead of the law.
		Ma Sheela left behind not only eighty-five Rolls Royces but a lot of disenchanted people.
