Dear editor,
This letter is in response to the article, “NARCONON helps student after 23 years of addiction.” After reading this article, I was not certain if I was looking at a paid advertisement for a treatment center, a listing for self-help group or a school. As I continued to read the article, a question came to mind: what exactly is Narconon? The article professes to be an interview with someone with an addiction problem who is allegedly a Narconon of Georgia “student.” It didn’t really read like an interview but more like his personal story. I hope he was not under the illusion that his story would be held in confidence.
The first thing that I discovered was that although the name itself is strikingly similar to other self-help or 12-step groups, and possibly purposely so, it is nothing of the kind. Narconon is a controversial international drug rehab program based on the philosophy and theories on drug addiction of L. Ron Hubbard, a science fiction writer and founder of the Church of Scientology. These theories appear to be ignorant of basic medical facts. Narconon’s ties to scientology are not readily available or disclosed to its clients who are making a decision on treatment for drug addiction at a vulnerable time in their lives. However, scientologists are employed by the centers and its doctrines and organization are similar to scientology.
Many critics claim that Narconon is simply a front group for scientology with the purpose of making money and recruiting new members for scientology. Although Narconon is officially a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt non-profit organization there have been reports of heavy monthly fees for their clients. Additional information can be found on the following websites: http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~dst/Narconon/ http://www.california-rehab-referral.com/. And http://lermanet.com/narconon/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narconon.
I felt it was important for your readers to have access to this information.
Rebecca Smith, Atlanta
Thanks for the info about Narconon. I heard of it, but I didn't know it was related to scientilogy.
Before:
"There are a few websites devoted to bashing Narconon that spread some false claims and a narrow, one-sided view from a handful of people. While this site is not owned or operated by Narconon, it is a site in favor of the Narconon Program that refutes what the negative sites say."
After:
"It is true that the registrant of this site is a former graduate and staff member, but that person is no longer employed by Narconon and this is done purely on a volunteer basis..."
Nowhere on that blog before I exposed them did they reveal that it was directly connected to NARCONON/$cientology. See they lie. This website was made for the purpose of providing false and biased information so that people seeking help would find their way to NARCONON. NARCONON is a dangerous and expensive scam. Keep away from these scam artists.
NARCONON is not a drug rehab it is a expensive recruitment front for $cientology. Also $cientology is not a religion it is a greedy, and dangerous corporate cult. They will steal your money, and then they'll destroy your life.
Busted! Why do $cientologist lie like this? What kind of so called religion programs their followers to lie? What are they trying to hide? What are they afraid of? It's a dangerous scam, stay away from these people.

NARCONON is a front group for the cult of $cientology. Scientologists are trained liars. I want to expose one of their lies being told by a $cientologists right here on this blog tonight.
narcononwatch.org is not a non biased website like user PAS82 wants you to believe. narcononwatch.org is a website registered to Lucas A. Catton who is directly connected to Scientology/NARCONON. Lucas A. Catton was and probably still is the director of Narconon Arrowhead Oklahoma, and he is a Scientologist/liar by default. All of this is public information available on the internet. You just have to know how to find it ;). Busted.

Not speaking about Narconon? Narconon IS a branch of Scientology. The branch should fall with the rest of the tree.
Narconon is just another financial inlet for funds into the cult.
Why else does it cost so much? Why is it so much more expensive than other, more successful, options? Why does Narconon claim to be a non-religious institution, yet its so-called rehabilitation process is the same as the low level Scientology courses, which are supposedly religious rituals and processes?
You see, readers out there, Scientology is a FRAUD. It's why the cult is once again on trial for fraud, having previously been convicted there and elsewhere for several charges throughout the years.
And yet, in stead of making a logical argument, they only toss accusations at their critics.
Comparison to the KKK, to terrorists, to nazis, fascists; it's all coming this way because we criticize Scientology.
Once again, quotes of copyrighted Scientology "scripture," cited for origin, and fully legal under FAIR USE.
"So BANISH all ideas that any fair hearing is intended and start our attack with their first breath. Never wait. Never talk about us - only them. Use their blood, sex, crime to get headlines. Don't use us. "
[Hubbard, "Attacks on Scientology", HCO Policy Letter of 15 Feb 1966]
"If attacked on some vulnerable point by anyone or anything or any organization, always find or manufacture enough threat against them to cause them to sue for peace."
[Hubbard, "Dept of Govt Affairs", HCO Policy Letter of 15 Oct 1960]

What do you have to say to these, Anonymous, hmmmm?
[Hubbard, Introduction to Scientology Ethics (1967)]
"They are each fair game, can be sued or harassed ...
(2) Harass these persons in any possible way...
(4) Tear up any meeting held and get the names of those attending and issue SP orders on them and you'll have lost a lot of rats."
[Hubbard, "Amprinistics", HCO Executive Letter of 27 September 1965]
"The Practice of declaring people FAIR GAME will cease. FAIR GAME may not appear on any Ethics Order. It causes bad public relations.
This P/L does not cancel any policy on the treatment or handling of an SP."
[Hubbard, "Cancellation of Fair Game", HCO Policy Letter 21 October 1968]
The policy letter supposedly cancelling Fair Game was itself cancelled on the orders of the current Scientology leadership, in HCO Policy Letter of 8 September 1983, "Cancellation of Issues on Suppressive Acts and PTSness" (the most recently published policy on Fair Game). The policy has thus been restored in all its unpleasantness.
Suppressive Acts

I'm SO scared!
"There are only two answers for the handling of people from 2.0 down on the tone scale, neither one of which has anything to do with reasoning with them or listening to their justification of their acts. The first is to raise them on the tone scale by un-enturbulating some of their theta by any one of the three valid processes. The other is to dispose of them quietly and without sorrow. Adders are safe bedmates compared to people on the lower bands of the tone scale. Not all the beauty nor the handsomeness nor artificial social value nor property can atone for the vicious damage such people do to sane men and women. The sudden and abrupt deletion of all individuals occupying the lower bands of the tone scale from the social order would result in an almost instant rise in the cultural tone and would interrupt the dwindling spiral into which any society may have entered.
It is not necessary to produce a world of clears in order to have a reasonable and worthwhile social order; it is only necessary to delete those individuals who range from 2.0 down, either by processing them enough to get their tone level above the 2.0 line - a task which, indeed, is not very great, since the amount of processing in many cases might be under fifty hours, although it might also in others be in excess of two hundred - or simply quarantining them from the society. A Venezuelan dictator once decided to stop leprosy. He saw that most lepers in his country were also beggars. By the simple expedient of collecting and destroying all the beggars in Venezuela an end was put to leprosy in that country."
[Hubbard, Science of Survival (1951), p. 157]
Narconon is certainly not the only option for those who seek help for drug addiction. Many have found help through other programs.
Please watch the videos I have posted and please comment.
RavenA, Adrien. You are disgusting, as are all your friends. Shame on you.
http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/video/anonymous
Human rights violations? I don't know what you are talking about, as you clearly are not refering to Narconon, which is a licensed, acredited drug rehab, in 144 countries around the world.
So you like to sing and dance? Hurray! I know that the KK also sings, dances, usually around a burning cross...you obviously belong to Anonymous, your organization has been classified as a HATE GROUP, according to Wikipedia, your members have been jailed for BREAKING THE LAW, kind of interesting if you ask me. I guess drug dealers, pushers, and cartels also dance and sing? I will find out for you. I think Hitler and his cohorts danced while sending people to the gas chambers, right?
You laugh, Raven, Addrien, you are hate-filled and pathetic, repulsive and anti-American.
I guess you are agaisnt a drug rehab that has helped hundreds of people and their families. What do you run drugs and this is ruining your drug trade?
Shall we see some more Narconon Success stories?

Terrific letter, ravenanon; moderate in tone and full of information. I like.
You really make me laugh, Enguerrand.
Did your 'black ops' against us earn you any snack-size Snickers bars or am I not high enough on your chart?
For those readers out there: READ HIS POSTS! You see, exposing the human rights violations and abuses of a dangerous organization makes me a terrorist. That's right. I would be better off sitting aside, letting people do as they please, no matter the lives which are being destroyed, in stead of spreading awareness. That is ALL anonymous does with its protests. Yes, we make a show. We dance, we eat cake! (Oh, no! Not cake!) We hand out fliers. People wave, blow their horns, smile, and give us thumbs up. THAT, my friends, is how you know we're TERRORISTS!
The belief in aliens, reincarnation, and H-bombs during the late Cretaceous Period are all harmless. But the abuses of the dangerous group Scientology are unacceptable. That is why we protest.
Oh, wait! The accusations are all part of DEAD AGENTING! (Yahoo and google are your friends.) It's a way of slandering -- or do article comments constitute libel? -- your opponents in order to disgust anyone who doesn't know anything about them.
Of course, Enguerrand thinks that the only people critical of Scientology are people who call themselves Anonymous. And, of course, that is very far off target.
Want to know why they hide their identities? FAIR GAME
The mask is a symbol, nothing more, of defiance against the harassment of the Scientology cult. Sceintology begs the protesters to remove the masks, and frequently takes their critics' pictures.
then they launch some sort of information gathering investigation against the person. They believe the ONLY reason someone opposes Scientology is to hide their own crimes. And, of course, that we're on on psychotic medications.
