Extract

Beyond deriving expertise from within its own membership, leaders of Aum Shinrikyo successfully solicited technical help from foreign individuals and businesses. Through contact with Russian military personnel, Russian scientists, and various corporations, they attempted to secure expertise on everything from military training to weapons technology. These channels also allowed the cult to get a retired Russian military helicopter and a large amount of small arms.
In addition to its increased recruiting and advertising, most of the cult's previous financing operations carry on unhindered. While some bizarre ventures such as the selling of health drinks derived from Asahara's dirty bath water have been stymied by the guru's arrest, other practices such as requisitioning members' assets still persist within the organization. Evidence also exists that Aum Shinrikyo may have engaged in production of LSD, though police raids on its chemical facilities may have hampered this capability. Perhaps the most lucrative source of revenue has been the cult's various computer businesses, which are able to severely undercut competitors by producing cheap software and computers written and assembled by dedicated and low-waged cult members. As an illustration of the success of these businesses, in 2000 the Japan Defense Agency delayed the deployment of a new computer system after discovering that it employed software authored by a cult business.
Salvation:
When looking it up I found out that Salvation meant either rescue or deliverance.
