There is not & never will be any proof of either one of us working for PURE. I'll repeat it for those that didn't get it the first time; no we do not work for PURE.
What, it ain't work if you're not getting paid? Well I'll be switched! I sure wish I'd known that years ago. I'll never do a load of laundry again, since it's not like my job or anything. I married that SOB for his money over 16 years ago and I'm not g'wan
NOwhar till I start seein' some!!
Have either of us ever represented PURE, I know for a fact we haven?t. Someone or you have assumed that because my email address is listed on PURE?s website that we work for them. I can honestly tell you, it ain?t so!
On the Oh Carey post, Carey said "Antigen, the Colburn's, Nancy and Lee have the email address of
lcolburn@houston.rr.com.
They are associated with PURE, they are on their "about us" list."
to which you responded:
"Contrary to your beliefs, I do not nor have I ever worked for PURE. WRONG, again. Is my email address posted on their sight, yes. Does that represent me working for PURE, no."
To which I would respond thusly:
Dude!
http://www.thestraights.com/reports/us_involvement.htmIn 1971 the United States Senate's Judiciary Committee, Subcommittee on Constitutional Rights under the directorship of Senator Sam Ervin began an investigation of the US government's role in behavior modification. Ervin's 650 page report was published in November 1974 under the title "Individual Rights and the Federal Role in Behavior Modification." Other members of the subcommittee included: Senators John McClellan, Arkansas, Edward Kennedy, Massachusetts, Birch Bayh, Indiana, Robert Byrd, West Virginia, John Tunney, California, Edward Gurney, Florida, Roman Hruska, Nebraska, Hiram Fong, Hawaii, Strom Thurmond, South Carolina, and Lawrence Baskir, Chief Counsel, Dorothy Glancy, Counsel, Joseph Klutz, Research Assistant, Alfred Pollard, Research Assistant, and George Downs, Sr, Chief Printing Clerk, and Anita Kinlaw, a legal intern.
The report includes a study of Straight's predecessor program, The Seed, and concludes that The Seed used methods similar to the "brainwashing" methods employed by North Koreans against American servicemen during the Korean War."

Essentially, the Ervin report concludes that the Federal government has no business funding, fostering, encouraging or promoting this kind of "treatment" becuase it is profoundly at odds with ideas of liberty, soverignty and self determination. This report and the Federal funding policies based on it are what knocked Art Barker out of the majors. He simply was, in my opinion, too full of himself to concede to the requirements.
But that never stopped Bobby DuPont and them others from going full speed ahead with the plan. They just set up a new corporate entity under a different name with a more carefully selected and cultivated team of players. They simply ignored or found ways around this new law. (see Solon quote above)
I think we need to get our Constitutional Republic government the hell out of the Socialist business of providing mental health services. Talk about the blind leading the blind? Hell, this has turned out more like some kind of sick Mongolian purge where sane kids are tracked down and made insane to conform to government standards!
I think we've had just about all the help we can stand, Lee. I just wish these psychos would just quit helping so damned much! Can you help make it stop?
A slipping gear could let your M203 grenade launcher fire when you least expect it. That would make you quite unpopular in what's left of your unit.
