Narconon Aftercare Relapses

Posted on February 1, 2012 by

Qualified

The fact that a patient is likely to relapse soon after completing the Scientology rehab program called Narconon can perhaps best be described as a “predetermined failure”. Contrary to what Narconon claims, Narconon’s actual success rate is not 70%, an imaginary number that is closer to the relapse rate. Narconon executives and other Scientology staff members know well that most patients will relapse, with many returning several times for a so-called repair and forking out thousands of dollars each time.

Narconon websites and brochures profess that Narconon has qualified professional counselors who tend to the individual needs of each patient, when, in fact, many of these Narconon “counselors” have no training whatsoever, except for the Scientology courses taken at each Narconon and a certificate printed in fancy colors. This alone is what Narconon means by “certified counselor”.

As a Narconon Trois-Rivières patient and staff member, I experienced my private life being stripped away and my dignity reduced to a state of obedience under the control of Scientology gradient indoctrinations. As a staff member, I enrolled in the Scientology-Narconon courses to help suffering patients lead a drug free life — I cared with my entire being.

To become a course room supervisor was an easy task, although extremely boring, and most of the training material made absolutely no sense as far as drug treatment and rehab therapies are concerned. Listening to 12 hours of tape recordings by the founder of Scientology, L. Ron Hubbard, was a prescription equivalent to a handful of Valium or bottle of barbiturates; my efforts to avoid falling asleep failed me on several occasions.

As a former owner/operator of a rehab facility back in the early 1990’s, I wondered what the hell this absurd course had to do with treating addicts. For twelve days, I listened to Hubbard ramble on about his photography experiences and I had to “word-clear”ridiculous words such as “nomenclature”, “it”, “the”, etc. — having to define with dictionary-like perfection what these words mean. “Oh, this should really help a distraught, suffering addict,” I mused.

I later learned that it was all about being able to control others, as well as obeying the control commands of superiors. A gradient of brainwashing may well be the best way to describe this process.

When patients complete the Narconon program, which consists of studying eight Scientology books with Narconon stamped on them and completing the toxic sauna Purification Rundown, many are more confused and unable to cope than when they first arrived. In this vulnerable state, being recruited onto staff by a keen Scientology staff member is no big chore. “Saving lives” is the motto each morning at the military-style roll-call. Playing God in a science-fiction adventure of deception and abuse may be a fitting way to describe the plot of the Narconon story.

Patients are paired as “twins” to perform all the Scientology training routines and auditing sessions. Patients are yelling at ashtrays: “Ashtray, stand up!” “Sit back down on that chair!” Other patients are commanded: “You, look at that wall.”  “You, touch that wall.”

Some patients can be seen walking back and forth between a table on which lies a book and a windowsill on which stands a green wine bottle. One of the patients commands the other: “You, look at that bottle.”  “You, walk over to that bottle.” “What color is the bottle?”  “What is the temperature?” “What does it weigh?” The patient who receives the commands then turns around, obeying the same commands for the book on the table. This routine can go on for days at a time.

Some patients go into hypnotic-type trances while others have near-psychotic breaks and end up in the Ethics Office for misbehaving. Here they are interrogated and screened for possible connections to a “Suppressive Person” outside Narconon. If the Ethics Officer decides you are connected to a Suppressive Person, you may be advised to disconnect from family and loved ones.

When I moved up the ladder and became the Graduate Officer, the things I saw and read were even more absurd. I took a “Product Clearing Course” and training on the Valuable Final Product (VFP) took a day or so. Thus did I become a Certified Counselor in aftercare and relapse prevention. And, of course, calculating the Narconon success rate was an eye-opener!

Basically, my job consisted of preparing statistics about the patients or “Products” and having the data ready to send up-lines to Scientology every Thursday by 2:00 P.M. sharp. Nothing else seemed to matter except these stats.

If patients I contacted had relapsed, they were not counted as VFP’s; they could not be expected to perform what we needed. I also had to convince the patients who were doing well (VFP’s) to send a new intake patient to Narconon Trois-Rivières. We were to suggest that the successful patient’s life was saved by Narconon and that now this same patient “owed” a debt to help Narconon.

I was instructed to spend less time on the suffering relapsed patients. No stats could be used for them and Narconon did not want too many to come back at one time, because it would not look good.

Discharging graduating patients was an easy task. It took only an hour or so to process them and send them back to the same environment they came from. I knew some that needed a half-way house or a similar step to ensure a safe environment, but my words fell on deaf ears and were met with outlandish comments from my superiors.

When a cry for help arrived in my email inbox, my instructions were to have the relapsed patient read the Narconon books and perhaps do a Scientology “condition formula”. I thought: “They were here for 4 months reading these crazy books and the books did nothing to prevent a relapse. What is a couple more days going to do when they are not even here?” I remember sitting at my office desk in tears, reading their tales of suffering and their cries for help — “Please David, help me.” Mistakenly, I did bring a couple back, and I do regret this.

Once the patient interviews are complete, a graduating patient is driven to the Montreal airport and dropped off to catch a flight. Unfortunately, there is often much time to visit one of the airport bars before the flight, and some lasted only minutes before relapsing!

The Narconon staff, who are also Scientologists, are well aware that the only way for a Narconon patient to remain clean and sober, according to L. Ron Hubbard, is to enroll in the “NED Drug Rundown” offered at the Church of Scientology.

Scientology’s own words about the “NED Drug Rundown” say: “On this rundown, the harmful effects of drugs are erased and a person is freed from the compulsion or need to take drugs. This service handles drugs and the real reason a person started taking them in the first place.”

“Addressing drugs with NED technology removes the barriers that prevent progress up THE BRIDGE levels. It is a vital step on your NED program.”

What these quotations imply is that the Narconon program does NOT erase the harmful effects of drugs, nor does it free a patient from the compulsion or need to take drugs!

As evidence documents prove, Narconon is nothing more than a recruitment center for the Church of Scientology, to expand its cult practices into the secular community using Scientology coercion and exploitation of vulnerable and very ill patients. Aftercare of patients is all but non-existent.

Patty (Pieniadz) Moher was Executive Director of a state Narconon program and also a Scientologist for 27 years.  She says:  “Narconon tries to pretend that it is not a Scientology front group, but the links have been exposed many times in the past.  It is just another hoax that the cult uses to make money.”

Participation in an aftercare program often makes the difference between abstinence and relapse. Overcoming months or years of addiction isn’t easy for anyone, especially after Narconon. Going through treatment for an addiction is often a life-saving blessing, but it’s just the first step in an ongoing process toward recovery.

Addicts are never “cured” of their addiction. It is a disease like many others. Addicts learn to understand the basis for their addiction, to see the contributing factors, to cope with and manage cravings and temptations, and to develop more healthy behaviors that will sustain them on their path toward recovery.

A person sometimes just needs a friend or a loved one, someone who understands, and someone who has been through the same type of experience. Whether it’s today, next week or next year, something may happen that rocks the carefully established foundation of sobriety and the person in recovery needs help. Again, help and support —– or an understanding ear to listen — is always available in an appropriate 12-step group. Friends, sponsors and the people the recovering addict meets during these meetings may be the lifeline that keeps them firmly rooted in sobriety — or helps them out during periods of crisis.

Could David Miscavige Order The Mass Murder-Suicide of Followers?

Posted on February 25, 2013 by

admcultAlthough David Miscavige comes up short for some of the attributes of a sociopathic cult leader who might order mass suicide, one must not overlook his pathological signs. A brain capable of mass murder-suicide lacks the circuitry to process emotions, such as feeling shame, guilt, or remorse and knowing when to stop exaggerating things to the point of absurdity. The allegations of Miscavige’s criminal-like behaviour for dominating and controlling others and his win-at-all costs dogma are tell-tale symptoms, especially his incapable-of-love dictatorship. Witnesses have described a man of low self-esteem, entirely self-serving in nature, and never wrong or feeling guilt. Indeed, a man convinced he has no need to ever apologize – applying the Scientology doctrine of “knowing versus believing.”

Some of the above attributes may depict Hubbard more precisely than Miscavige, but the cult’s present leader possesses most of them. Sociopaths are delusional and literally believe that what they say becomes truth merely because they say it!

acchr5Simply imagining a mass suicide inflicted upon indoctrinated, brain-washed followers seems quite ludicrous and hard to accept. Yet this is what Jim Jones, Marshall Applewhite, the Solar Temple’s leaders, and countless others implemented out on their day of death. What is publicly known about Miscavige may not match what is now known about Hubbard’s sexual appetite and bizarre actions, but Miscavige also certainly could “smash his name into the history books,” as did Hubbard with his narcissistic and schizoid paranoid behaviour — expressed in detailed, insane writings produced while intoxicated on drugs.

Are this groupthink cult and Scientology’s indoctrinated followers like “sheeple” heading to a slaughterhouse, forfeiting their right to choose in exchange for a feeling of inclusion? Are they following blindly into a poisonous, viper-filled auditorium of death? Or is the hype and fear, so often reported in critical Scientology stories and Hollywood tabloids, pushing the imagination of readers too far?

ajones2Mass cult suicides are some of the most publicized and terrorizing aspects of what can happen within a destructive and mind-controlling organization such as Scientology. One only need turn the pages of history to see potential similarities with the Jim Jones mass murder-suicide that killed 918 in Guyana.

The signs of a red alert warning flash when a dangerous cult dictator feels trapped within circumstances he cannot control or escape except through death. When such a dire situation is combined with a narcissistic and paranoid mind, one can easily imagine a replay of the Jonestown mass murder-suicide tragedy — the premeditated death of men, women, and children. Jones and his enforcers compelled ALL of People’s Temple followers to drink the poison, and those who refused were brutally murdered by gun or knife — including many young children.

Dangerous Cult of Narconon – Scientology Drug Rehab

Posted on February 14, 2013 by

http://www.examiner.com/article/dangerous-cult-of-narconon-scientology-drug-rehab

anndeath10
The drug rehab business is flourishing like never before, with an endless supply of desperate victims seeking treatment to end the misery of their addiction. Treatment centers know they have a readymade and alluring product to meet market demand, and new centers are popping up all over the internet, as a simple Google search for “drug rehab” will demonstrate.

http://www.examiner.com/article/dangerous-cult-of-narconon-scientology-drug-rehab

Most drug rehab centers are reputable and are staffed with physicians, nurses, psychotherapists, and professional qualified addiction counsellors. But many drug rehabs are “fly-by-night” operations that are actually operated by destructive cults and that unscrupulously practice pseudoscientific quackery which is dangerous and, in some cases, deadly.

adangernn2By definition, the term “cult” can be applied to any group of religious believers, including Baptists, Roman Catholics, Mormons, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and the faithful of Eastern religions. The term is sometimes confusing because it can have a variety of meanings depending on who uses it and for which purpose, in what way, or in which context.

VIDEO: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tv_4Jb4ar5o

Published on Feb 7, 2013 - One of the biggest worldwide treatment clinics, Narconon, has some believing the program is associated with the controversial religion scientology.

However, there is a definable difference between a “religious cult” and “destructive or dangerous cult.” One must examine how a group impacts a person’s health (psychological or physical), wealth, and personal relationships with family and friends.

There are numerous cult-based drug rehabs around the globe.  Some remain in business, while others have disappeared. A few operate under strict doctrines and discipline, while others, like Scientology’s drug rehab, Narconon, have proven to be dangerous and deadly, with numerous patient deaths.

The treatments given at some drug rehabs can be quite bizarre and raise many questions, such as the center directed by Jenishbek Nazaraliev, a doctor in Kyrgyzstan. One patient was seen in the following state:

http://www.antiwar.com/spectator2/spec622.html

“His eyes are rolled back to the whites, his spine is arched; his arms flail in front of him as if he is being electrocuted. Behind him stands another man, Asiatic, completely bald, with dark piercing eyes. He shouts, almost raps, into the convulsing Georgian’s ears, ‘Drive out the filth! You are a strong man, charged with energy! Help yourself out of this!’ He repeats this over and over until the Georgian has a spasm and collapses in a trance. He is put on to a stretcher, carried out of the room and laid in a bed with high metal sides.”

Another apparently cult-based drug rehab called “Comunità Cenacolo” indoctrinates desperate parents and convinces their children to enter its program. According to one client:

“Once there, these young men are stripped of their clothing, identification, and belongings and are allowed no contact with the outside world … performing ritual chanting and prayer based mind control techniques. Daily journals are reviewed and corrected by senior members and extreme use of guilt over past actions and self-degradation employed — a mentor ensures that no one leaves.”

The notorious cult-based drug rehab Synanon, founded in 1958 in Santa Monica, California, ultimately became the Church of Synanon in the 1970s and disbanded permanently in 1989 due to many alleged criminal activities, including attempted murder, and due to civil legal problems, including federal tax-evasion uncovered by the Internal Revenue Service.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synanon

anndeath11Synanon was as a two-year residential rehab program, and it generated roughly $10 million per year. Members humiliated one another and encouraged the exposure of one another’s innermost weaknesses.  Beginning in the mid-1970s, women in Synanon were required to shave their heads, and married couples were made to break up and take new partners. Men were given forced vasectomies, and a few pregnant women were compelled to have abortions.

In 1974, the legal authorities launched an investigation into Synanon’s practices. The concept of “lifetime rehabilitation” did not agree with therapeutic norms, and it was alleged that the Synanon group was running an unauthorized medical clinic.

Children who had been assigned to Synanon began running away, and an “underground railroad” was created to help them return to their parents. Beatings of Synanon’s opponents and of its ex-members, called “splittees,” occurred across California.

acrad402The global network of Scientology drug rehabs, Narconon also has, to a greater or lesser degree, parallels with some of the above-mentioned horrific cult-based rehab centers. Strict doctrines and discipline, “training routine” trances, clients stripped of identification, mind control techniques, guilt regarding past actions, humiliation, and memorizing Scientology religious doctrines, to name just a few practices that evoke the definition of a dangerous and destructive cult.

In 2011, a 100-bed Narconon drug rehab center in Quebec, Canada, was examined by an expert physician on drug dependence. The Quebec College of Physicians concluded that the Narconon physician, Dr. Pierre Labonté, “had been in breach of several of his ethical obligations by associating himself with a drug detoxification center administering treatment not recognized in the current medical literature. It was agreed, by way of written accord with the College, that Dr. Labonté put an end to all his relations with Narconon.”

After a lengthy investigation, the Quebec Ministry of Health and Social Services determined that Narconon Trois-Rivières was unsafe and posed a real health risk to patients, forcing the center to close immediately on April 13, 2012 and relocate patients.

In this “Cult Examiner” series of the “Cult of Narconon,” we will examine many aspects of dangerous drug rehab practices in Canada and around the world, especially those operated by Scientology and by others who indoctrinate vulnerable patients into their cult doctrines and create health risks and safety issues.

deathxbThere have been 14 patient deaths inside Narconon centers and countless deaths among patients after following the Narconon program. The horrific and traumatic experiences told by many victims will be explored in this series — disturbing accounts of deception, abuse and exploitation.

There are stories of prescribed psychiatric medications forbidden and taken away, resulting in attempted suicides; stories of sexual exploitation, forced manual labour, coerced disconnection from family and friends, and lack of attending physicians or nurses. Disturbing patient interrogations, humiliation and degradation were the norm.

Above all, the story of how patients are unknowingly being indoctrinated into the cult of Narconon and Scientology, including being recruited onto staff with little or no pay for long, hard hours of work, needs to be told, and the public must be informed.

Scientology – New Cambridge Church Will Bring New Definition To “Empty”

Posted on February 8, 2013 by

achurchc

 

 

Article from the Examiner.com:

http://www.examiner.com/article/scientology-new-cambridge-church-will-bring-new-definition-to-empty-1

The Church of Scientology has another “Ideal ORG” Grand Opening scheduled for Saturday, February 9th at 1p.m. in Cambridge, Ontario and protesters vow to be heard.

Members of Anonymous and citizens from Quebec and Ontario will be in attendance to help inform the public of Scientology’s crimes and human rights abuses. Some will tour the crumbling downtown Toronto Church – - now under renovations, before travelling to the new Cambridge church with Adam Holland, AlexM, and several others.

Adam Holland, an Ex-Scientology Sea ORG member, was featured in an eleven page MacLean’s Magazine article recently, and says “They take away everything you are and replace it with their own version of what they think you should be”.

Adam’s father is still a member of Scientology, but as per L. Ron Hubbard “Disconnection Policy”, has disconnected from his son and no communication or contact is permitted.

https://whyweprotest.net/community/threads/ontario-new-ideal-org-anonymous-protesting.108753/page-2#post-2271809

adamretreatOn Why We Protest forum today, Adam posted: “I look forward to educating as many people as I can while protesting in the town of Kitchener/Cambridge. I’ve heard stories from inside the Sea Org about how small the compliment of staff is. I heard from my associates that KIT was often single-handed most weekdays by a locally-posted SO member, with a few staff only arriving in the evenings.”

“One thing is for certain: this new building will bring the definition of “Empty” to whole new orders of magnitude.”

I will be travelling from Montreal to Toronto tomorrow evening and arrive early Saturday morning to cover the grand opening and protest event. Other media are expected to attend the opening from reports earlier today, as well as the Cambridge Times who published an article today:

Two Montreal Physicians Banned From Scientology Drug Rehab

Posted on January 9, 2013 by

abanned2

 

 

 

http://www.examiner.com/article/two-montreal-physicians-banned-from-scientology-drug-rehab

New evidence documents received last week, confirm that the Quebec College of Physicians in Montreal issued a ban on two physicians from associating with a drug detoxification center in Trois-Rivieres. The College stated that the Narconon treatment was not recognized in current medical literature.

On September 5, 2011, I published an Examiner article concerning Dr. Pierre Labonte being banned by the College in part because “It was found that this physician had been in breach of several of his ethical obligations by associating himself with a drug detoxification centre administering treatment not scientifically recognized in current medical literature, by conducting an incomplete medical assessment, and keeping records of mediocre quality.”

http://www.examiner.com/article/montreal-physician-banned

This same decision was made in 2012 with respect to Dr. Labbe who replaced Dr. Pierre Labonte for the treatment of patients at Narconon Trois-Rivieres.

These two College of Physicians decisions put all Quebec physicians on notice that any participation in the Narconon program would be met with swift intervention and halted. The Narconon sales department then started advising relatives that future patients should see a physician before coming to the center.

Following the College decision was an investigation by the Quebec Ministry of Health and Social Services into the compulsory certification of all drug rehab centers in Quebec. On April 10, 2012, the Health agency sent Narconon Trois-Rivières an “order to evacuate and relocate residents due to reasonable grounds to believe that the resource is engaging in practices which constitute a danger to the residents’ health and safety”, including the following:

- Accepting patients in a state of intoxication (withdrawal) that can present significant risks related to withdrawal, without evaluation of the degree of the severity of the withdrawal with the help of a recognized tool or by means of a medical evaluation;

- Offering a biophysical rehab phase (detoxification) which is a scientifically not recognized treatment which poses risks;

- Having no stakeholder, clinical coordinator and professional supervisor who possess the required profile (training and relevant experience);

- Not having a staff member trained in CPR and first aid present at all times in the resource;

- Only considering medication related to a physical medical condition duly diagnosed, prescribed by a doctor and not related to the dependency that the resident wishes to eliminate. In addition, residents are being required to sign a voluntary undertaking in which they agree to suspend their medication during their stay;

- On April 12, 2012, the Agence sent the Narconon center a new letter to the effect that:

“After analysis of your file, and pursuant to conversations we had with you when we met on April 10, 2012, including your categorical refusal to take corrective action related to item 6 of the intervention program, it is with regret that we inform you that the certification committee of the Agence de la santé et des services sociaux de la Mauricie et du Centre-du-Québec has the intention to refuse to grant you a certificate of compliance.” Narconon had thereafter 10 days to make submissions to the Agence. On May 9, 2012, the Agence reiterated to Narconon Trois-Rivières its decision not to grant it the certificate of compliance. The centre did not contest this decision before the Tribunal administratif du Québec.

Narconon Trois-Rivieres was forced to close the doors of their 100 bed controversial Scientology drug rehab. Many staff had not be paid in preceding weeks and filed complaints with the Quebec Labour Relations Board and told their horrific stories to media.

- “Concerning hygiene and sanitation, it has been noted that: “The assessment of residents in this regard is negative. During our visit of the premises, the sanitation of the bathrooms was of particular concern.”

Scientology entities from around the globe expressed their anger and paranoid thinking by publishing online stories attacking the writer, the College, and Health authorities in Montreal.

https://whyweprotest.net/community/threads/david-love-backed-by-big-pharma-anonymous-lol.103596/

Quotes such as:

- “Narconon Trois-Rivieres is an icon for our times – fighting for the right, to continue to speak out against the powers that be, that lurk behind modern day pharmaceuticals, and pill pushing psychiatry.”

- “In Quebec, there is the prestigious College of Medicine, together with the Douglas Mental Health University Institute and the Allan Memorial Institute, all still pressing ahead with psychiatric experiments that date back to the 1950′s.”

- “Contrary to popular belief, the Allan Memorial Institute is still operative today, pitting it’s strength and capacity against Narconon Trois-Rivieres, by recruiting as a “mouthpiece” former Narconon student David Edgar Love.”

- “Canada and the Quebec College of Physicians have been duped, have acted reactively to the “hype” put out by David Love as the “mouthpiece” of those with a vested interest in seeing “drug free” addiction recovery programs taken down.”

On August 12, 2012, leaked emails from the United Kingdom, further express Scientology’s attempts to “handle” the negative press:

http://narcononcanada.com/2012/08/08/scientology-narconon-leaked-emails/

- “The centre in Quebec was closed because of its political links to France. France takes a very strong Anti-Scientology stance. The attackers used a number of different tactics to get the centre closed down over a number of years. I cannot really comment on this because I do not know the full details. Trust me when I say that it was very criminal behaviour and criminally motivated, and that the tactics were underhand.”

- “In Quebec, there was either a new centre or there were plans to open a new centre to tackle drug and alcohol addiction. It is a centre paid for by companies within the pharmaceutical industry and one which will, in turn, finance the industry by providing treatments which use maintenance prescribing and so forth. Obviously it is in the interest of pharmaceutical industries, and due to the vested interests described, of this new centre, that maintenance prescribing is used.”

- “To have a Narconon centre in the vicinity preaching an entirely different philosophy; not only actually taking people out of this system altogether, but also educating them about the dangers of it, so that they protect themselves and others in the future, is a terrible inconvenience to these organisations. It is a threat to their business, and also to their long-term survival.”

- “The Psychiatric industry is the biggest attacker of Scientology, and in turn Narconon.”

Scientology is well known for their attacks on “Big Pharma” and “Psychiatry”, which these leaked emails and above is published in ludicrous detail.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narconon

However, the fact is, after many months of investigations, the Quebec College of Physicians and Quebec health agency had gathered enough scientific and medical evidence to shut down a dangerous drug rehab center near Montreal.

Narconon Drug Rehab Lawsuit – Victim Tortured and Abused

Posted on January 5, 2013 by

abusedvictim

http://www.examiner.com/article/narconon-drug-rehab-lawsuit-victim-torture-and-abused

Another Scientology drug rehab center, Narconon Fresh Start in Nevada (Rainbow Canyon Retreat), is facing a lawsuit concerning a 15-year-old who was bullied, abused and branded with a hot iron. This disturbing story broke this morning on Tony Ortega’s website “The Underground Bunker.”

http://tonyortega.org/2013/01/05/another-scientology-drug-rehab-lawsuit-alleges-disturbing-abuse/

The parents, Mark and Nicole Peet, represented by lawyer Richard W. Sears from Nevada, are suing for the $39,000 they paid to Narconon and for medical bills, pain and suffering, and punitive damages.

Scientology drug rehabs are facing numerous litigations recently, including wrongful death lawsuits against Narconon Arrowhead and Narconon of Georgia, and 5 cases in Quebec, Canada with the Human Rights Commission for exploitation and discrimination.

INSIDE SCIENTOLOGY REHAB NARCONON:

Court documents state that three days after this young lad entered Narconon Fresh Start in Nevada, he was held down and branded with a hot iron “until he sustained a disfiguring wound.” On April 7, 2012, he was attacked by a 27-year-old male “and sustained a laceration on his neck and a bloody lip.” The following day, the same 27-year-old student “was carrying a knife around, threatening others.” Hard drugs were on the premises; brought in by students and some smuggled in by mail in shampoo bottles.

This case is indeed horrific and disturbing, but rings of similar events at other Narconons around the globe. Students using drugs is common-place, with apparently little or no monitoring by staff; sometimes staff providing them to the students in return for sexual favours.

Narconon is well known for using patients who completed the program for staff and not having medical professionals at their centers. To date, there has been a minimum of 15 deaths inside these negligent Scientology rehab centers; 3-4 deaths within the past 18 months in the United States.

An excellent source of information about Narconon is posted at the following link:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narconon

Instead of receiving detoxification and addiction treatment prescribed in current medical literature, the Narconon program uses Scientology Training Routines and Auditing Sessions to indoctrinate the student by tiny, gradient steps of mind control and start the victim up “The Scientology Bridge to Total Freedom.”

Superstar Women Slam Cult of Scientology for Abusive Crimes

Posted on January 5, 2013 by

http://www.examiner.com/article/superstar-women-slam-cult-of-scientology-for-abusive-crimes-1

Tonight on the God Discussion radio show with Hosts Al and Deborah, a group of prominent women from the USA, England, and France told their stories about being in Scientology for decades and subjected to “Billion Year Contracts” and abusive slave labour conditions and forced abortions.

agod5Not so long ago, media would be in fear of airing a show such as this, knowing well that Scientology was worse than a rabid attack dog when anyone spoke out against their church. Brave heroes from past have faced lengthy court battles, the sting of unscrupulous investigators and cult legal teams determined to shut the mouth of any apostate.

God Discussion: “The “X-Women” -

http://www.goddiscussion.com/106024/this-week-on-the-goddiscussion-show-the-x-women-x-scientologists-that-is/

In the past few years, the flood-gates of Ex-Scientologists telling their stories without fear have snowballed and the relentless pressure from media has caused church membership to dwindle fast.

The hosts of the God Discussion show, as well as listeners from around the globe; many who called in, were stunned at what was voiced by the six brave lady guests from three countries. Indeed, heartbreaking and emotional stories.

agod8Sautez (not real name), joined Scientology’s Sea Organization (Sea ORG), at 18 and that her family was destroyed by Scientology – - she now speaks out to save others from the same fate. Sautez was instrumental in helping the God Discussion host make this show happen tonight.

Show guest Nancy Many, spent 30 years in Scientology.  She was in Scientology’s infamous Guardians Office, the church’s covert intelligence entity. Nancy is the author of “My Billion Year Contract” and shared some of her experiences tonight.

Claire Headley was raised in Scientology from the age of four. She and her husband Marc, author of “Blown for Good”, sued the church over lost wages while in the Sea Org. Claire discussed Scientology’s forced abortions when she and other women become pregnant in the Sea ORG.

Tampa Bay Times Claire Headley story:

http://www.tampabay.com/news/scientology/defectors-claire-and-marc-headley-say-church-of-scientology-tried-to/1250163

Lori Hodgson, a former Scientologist who has experienced the nightmare of what Scientology does to families and how she experienced the horrific pain of her family disconnecting after she escaped the cult, joined the show live to share her experience. Tony Ortega shared Lori’s story and heart-wrenching open letter to her children on “The Underground Bunker” here:

http://tonyortega.org/2012/11/03/scientologys-policy-of-disconnection-a-mothers-open-letter-to-the-children-who-have-abandoned-her/

Nefertiti (not real name), was sent to one of Scientology’s prison camps called “Rehabilitation Project Force” (RPF), because she wanted to leave. Fearing for her life and sanity, she escaped – with a price.  She has not seen her children for 25 years. Nefertiti joined the discussion from France, where she speaks out against Scientology and cults in general.

The final guest was Sharone Stainforth from England, who was a personal child servant of L. Ron Hubbard (known as a “messenger”) when she was in Sea Org at 10 years of age. From London, Sharone shared what her experience was like, and how the Scientology experience has shattered her family. Her blog “Scientology – The Apollo Series”, is packed with information and more heart-breaking stories at:

Tonight’s show was obviously quite emotional for some of the guests and callers – - even for me when I called in after listening to how these women and their families were treated. Many described how their Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), still affects them today, with terrible nightmares and upset.

acry4Most disturbing was the forced, coerced abortions, children separated from their parents, and disconnections when one family member leaves the cult and others remained. The so-called church forbids contact with those who leave and speak out.

Scientology denies such abortion and disconnection policies, but the evidence is mounting that these courageous women are telling the truth in horrifying detail. One of tonight’s guest said she knows of one lady who was forced to have an abortion at a “term” of six months. As Claire Headley stated to St. Petersburg Times, “The policy was if a staff member became pregnant, that they were to have an abortion.”

At the end of the show, there was a brief discussion about bringing together, women who have suffered these horrific events in Scientology – - supporting each other as much as possible.

Scientology-Narconon Mind Rape

Posted on January 2, 2013 by

Loud screams echoed about the cult compound as the young lady stood up holding her arm in extreme pain. Narconon was short of funds, so no salt or sand had been sprinkled on the slippery parking lot for patient and staff safety – - the victim fell hard on the ice, fracturing her forearm in 3-4 places.

Hospital emergencies in Quebec are often short staffed and backed up with several hours of suffering in the waiting room. Finally, after X-rays and physician examination, a multiple fracture was diagnosed. No surgeon was available to operate that night, so the patient was sent back to Narconon with a prescription of pain killers to get her through the night and told to return the next day.

arape2The next morning, I noticed her in tears, crying at the dining room table and walked over to ask what was wrong. Sobbing, she told me that the Narconon staff refused to administer the pain meds because it would interfere with her “Objectives Sessions” (Scientology Auditing). Instead, the staff offered her nerve and touch assists to relieve her trauma, with no noticeable relief.

I had seen countless, similar events that boggled my mind, including inappropriate touching while fragile females were in the drug withdrawal unit receiving “touch assists”, and others treated with unconscionable disrespect and abuse.

At times, I noticed some walking around with head hung low and sad, while others were crying and in obvious mental distress. The cult indoctrinated staff took notice at times, with little empathy – - only treating with Scientology techniques.

Several attempted suicides and one killed by a gun-shot to the head was swept under the carpet and not discussed ever – - with threat of being fired immediately.

When a desperate addict or family member seeks help, they have no idea of what Narconon is about; they just want help and want it now – - not realizing that they are entering a world of deception, mind control, and indoctrination into a very dangerous and deadly cult.

aslaveWhen someone walks in a Church of Scientology door, they know it is Scientology. A very ill and suffering addict who enters a Narconon compound, has no idea that they will immediately be commanded to participate in Scientology training routines and auditing sessions. The mind control begins upon arrival on a gradient of tiny steps so the patient doesn’t see the control aspect. In fact, the patients are called “Students”, not clients or patients as other drug rehabs do. But the very ill “student” couldn’t care less what they are called – - they just want to be treated for their disease of addiction. One student who was from New York, said to me one afternoon “David, someone told me that this place is run by Scientologists, but I don’t care if they are green space aliens from Mars, I just want to get better.”

Unfortunately, many of the Narconon staff are influenced by Hubbard’s alien writings and the student is deceptively indoctrinated into these cult beliefs. And eventually, the student does feel better, but only because they have stopped using drugs for a few weeks or months and the residue is out of their system.

However, even though they feel stronger physically, I noticed a strange behaviour and new language expressed when they talked. Such as “getting  ethics in”; “getting TR’s in”; “being at cause”; “I’m PTS”, and so on.

I witnessed many, including myself, subjected to slow but constant pressures devised to break us down mentally – - coercion, humiliation, inhuman treatment, degradation, and intimidation were the norm. The conscious part of the personality no longer takes part, just obeys on command. The mind-controlled live in a trance, repeating the cult phrases scared into him by somebody else. Like circus animals trained to perform, we were repetitiously being mind-raped.

Many vulnerable victims have no idea what happened to them while subject to this insidious cult and some need months of therapy after leaving. The majority relapse back into drug addiction and some die shortly after leaving Narconon.

Indeed, Scientology is a cult of greed and power – - one that should be avoided and exposed to government and health authorities until they listen and act.
