On a forward from JP
> [censored by flr]
You might mention to him that the Carroll Star News got world-wide
attention not only among activists but among a number of government
agencies here in California, one of which I think is looking at
whether they want to give JP a telephone call to see if he'll
describe some of the dishonest statements that Narconon made to him
and to other citizens of Bowden. State agencies hear about this
all the time but they like to hear it first-hand where possible.
I hope they call JP or at least call to request updates on events
because it's germain to an investigation into Narconon taking
place here in California -- the dishonesty and the false claims is
bunko and it seems to me that the State of California has been trying
to find a good solid handle to use to throw the bastards out of the
State entirely without getting SLAPP sued -- which Scientology would
do immediately if their license is pulled.
The State Drug and Alcohol Program Licensing Board out of Sacramento,
California, our State Capital, had a staffer ask me for a copy of the
article, having heard about it from someone who went through Narconon
and was medically damaged and got the article from someone else. I have
been forwarding e-mail complaints sent to me by people about Narconon
to that State Licensing Agency routinely over the past year and I'm
aware that that Agency has been investigating allegations of violations
of a number of licensing rules at the Narconon facility in Northern
California. Among the most serious violation was the number of people
they were "treating" at one time exceeded their State
allottment.
Even more amusing was that Gloucestershire also got a copy of the
article and copies of the article are being passed around that township
electronically and dumpped to paper. What Narconon tried to do in
Bowden they tried to do in Gloucestershire first. }:-}
The age of the Internet. }:-}
For that matter, maybe JP would like contact information for the
Drug and Alcohol Treatment Licensing Agency directly and maybe JP
could ask them about their on-going investigation into Narconon in
Northern California. I have the address and phone number if so
and can provide it.
