Live Indians were seen as problematic because they refused to die out and they were not wanted in society (61).

Rajneeshpuram was a community founded by Bhagwan Rajneesh. Rajneesh came to America from India, bringing his spirituality with him. By the mid-1980s, Rajneesh had many followers in the United States. The Rajneeshpuram Cult posed a significant biological weapon (BW) threat as explained in the video, “Rajneeshpuram: An Experiment to Provoke God.” The most significant BW agent used by the Rajneeshpuram Cult was that of Salmonella typhimurium.

Unmistakably, it is not clear whether some of the pagan rituals or the Chumash ideologies could have potentially also been some of the factors leading to the insurrection. One such case in 1801, in the middle of a string of attacks of pneumonia and pleurisy, had struck the neophytes at Santa Barbara, and an Indian woman who had used Native American curer experienced a hallucinogenic-induced vision.

Violence and crime was also a problem for prairie dwellers. Most people in this area lived in seclusion, miles from the nearest town. Therefore there was no jurisdiction in these outer one or two home communities. Because there was no jurisdiction, it was increasingly easier for people to commit crimes and get away with it.

The Rajneeshee used a biological weapon in the form of salmonella. The commune actually created the salmonella in a laboratory. The Rajneeshee were to use this on the people of the town in order to make them sick enough so they would not be able to vote and their own members could take political roles. (Thuras 2014)

King Leopold’s Ghost, by Adam Hochschild , shows that the violence in Africa has gone rampant and the civil discourse is an effect to the cause of colonialism. Although he does not have a life devoted expertise to the Congo, his research and background was thorough and descriptive. Conrad’s Heart of Darkness served as a primary influence to many people who seeked to further their knowledge on the predicaments surrounding the Congo. On the contrary, rather than displaying literary occurrences, he portrayed creativity in a hypothetical scenario to draw readers attention.

In 1994, the Aum Shinrikyo, a Japanese cult delivered a chemical attack on civilians in suburb of Matsumoto, Japan. This attack killed seven people and injured 150. This attack, as estimated by U.S. chemical warfare experts, was a practice run for a more serious attack. They were unfortunately right. A year later, the group set another attack that was much more serious. (Wright 1999)

It brought with it deforestation, and large amounts of pollution, which have had a large impact on their small community.

According to science news, over the past week there was a salmonella outbreak that’s stricken more than 165 consumers of Roma, Italian-style plum, and round red tomatoes. The poisonings occurred in 17 states, mostly out West. Certain tomatoes are at risk not all tomatoes. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention they said, “cherry tomatoes, grape tomatoes, and tomatoes sold with the vines still attached to any source” appear safe. They are still questioning if had the tomatoes that sickened people in the outbreak been cleansed very well. According to them, the tomatoes that weren’t cleansed thoroughly contained the bacteria that causes salmonella. Also according

The CBRN agent threat used by the Rajneeshee cult was a biological agent called Salmonella. Salmonella, according to Bovsun (2013) is a dangerous, sometimes deadly food borne pathogen. It rarely causes death, however, those with compromised immune systems tend to suffer more extreme symptoms. According to the CDC (2015), symptoms include diarhea, fever, and cramps. These symptoms normally last about a week.

A pressing issue in our society is focused on the food industries. There have been many outbreaks of E.coli poisoning especially in the popular food chain Chipotle since late in 2015 to today. E.coli poisoning is a bacteria that lives in our intestines and can cause infections in the body if contracted. Our bodies can contract E.coli from not only food but also water. According to U.S Food and Drug Administration and The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the infection of E Coli poisoning has been linked to many Chipotle Mexican Grill Restaurants. According to the CDC has reported as many as 55 people who have been effected by E.coli poisoning in 11 states. According to the New York Times, they reported roughly 500 people the Pacific Northwest all the way to Boston have become ill

Quietly I strode into the woods, taking gentle steps to avoid disturbing the peacefulness surrounding me. Dead leaves and pine needles crackled softly under my feet, birds chirped in the late afternoon sun, and an owl hooted soulfully in the distance. Looking down at my feet, I placed each foot deliberately between branches and stones. Discarded and forgotten trash was now scattered among the dense cover of decomposing leaves and did not seems out of place. Thus Breakheart Reservation, once beautiful and alive environment, was now becoming a dumping ground for the inconsiderate teenagers and adults who often walked through there. Making this section of woodland their own they had left behind anything from muddy and ton clothes
