[quote="Guest So you're a rig pig? You make boisterous claims of superior knowledge on all things relative to AARC and it's methods, yet you don't even have a high school diploma to back it up??
Josh old pal, I went to high school with Janne Holmgren, an original Kids mutant who was turned loose on the children in AARC. Another person at our high school was the Empress of AARC's daughter, who dated my friend lo these many years ago. I got an Alberta Advanced Diploma while you were still in underoos. And Josh, why do you think anybody cares how many years you've been sober? Abstinence is neither a vice nor a virtue. You may have noticed that a lot of people imbibe, and a great many partake of other drugs from sugar to heroin.
Now as to my superior knowledge on all things relative to AARC, what statement of mine have you disproved? The Wizard worked at Kids in the US. Sandy Levy-Barbero, a real social worker, saw Kids and moved to have it closed. The Wizard moved it to Calgary so he could run it. The Wizard transplanted everything from Kids from raps to the newcomer/oldcomer system to the host home scam. The Wizard used people from the Union Institute to sell AARC to the people of Alberta. The man from the rotary club, Dr. Dookie, who chose to bring Kids to Calgary and then set up AARC, had no qualifications related to child-psychology, psychiatry, pharmacology or drug rehabilitation. He was doctor of ministry. The Wizard got a mail-order PhD from the Union Institute, just like Miller Newton, the head of Kids. The Wizard was running AARC full-time when he acquired this paper, making his claims of research an impossibility.
The center was housed in an old warehouse, donated by the rotary club, so there was no building cost. The original peer counsellors were some of the inmates from Kids, who had no training in drug rehabiliation counselling other than their experience inKids. This group included Brian Neil and Janne Holmgren. The staff at AARC are former inmates with no qualifications to treat what AARC describes as a medical condition. The study that AARC quotes as verification of their success was written by the Wizard, along with Natalie Oldcomer, a staffer and former adult inmate of AARC. Additionally, the study was overseen by yet another scammer from the Union Insitute. Millions of dollars have been donated to AARC even though the families of inmates pay $50k or so for an AARC sentence for their children. So which part of that isn't true Josh?
