Treatment Abuse, Behavior Modification, Thought Reform => Straight, Inc. and Derivatives => Topic started by: OverLordd on June 09, 2005, 09:34:00 AM

Ok, I have been trying to wrap my head around this forum and everything in it, well exept the topic on how to mainline smack and free base blow, but I have become increasingly frustrated, because there is so much data to understand and learn about, considering all I know is how much I hate CSA. Continuing on, I have come up with a list of names, places, things, and other stuff I need definitions on if I am to work well within this forum.So please, give any information you can on this list so I can understand and move with you guys. We begin with.
1.Straight, Inc. -
2.Who am I discovery/Whitmore -
3.Thayer Learning Center -
4.Seed program -
5.CEDU -
6.LightHouse of northwest flordia -
7.SAFE, Inc. -
(text removed)
9.AARC -
Ok this is what I need to know, the things I dont understand. I think my mind is getting around it. There are diffrent programs like Seed, Straight, SAFE and what not what have you, and each has diffrent schools that proscribe to one program or another CSA, Whitmore, CEDU, things such as this, I think CEDU is a school anyway. And all these schools are a part of WWASP. In WWASP is wide spread, if not not instituionalized abuse and neglect. Am I right along those lines? Well please, any info some one could give would be great, because I want to learn about this, then I want to do somthing about it. My friend was hurt, and I will see no one else hurt on my watch.
For myself, I do not believe in any revelation. As for a future life, every man must judge for himself between conflicting vague probabilities.

Naw man it evolved like this:
Synanon..Seed...Straight..SAFE...LIFE..Kids helping (hurting) Kids
WWASP ..is a seperate thing with their own bullshit. Although the wwasp camps are abusive as well.

Keep digging ...it'll make your head spin.

i would like to refer you to the website of the International Survivors Action Committee: http://http://isaccorp.org/
you can find more information here:
http://http://www.heal-online.org/childtortureusa.htm#flor9
there is a whole lot of information out there. as for how to stop them? who knows. Straight started up in 1976, was investigated, had ugly court cases, was supposedly shut down in the early 90s, but several institutions are Straight copy-cat programs -- Kids Helping Kids in Ohio is in the very same building where Straight was -- and they keep doing the very same thing to teenagers that fucked the lot of us in the head a long time ago.

Ok, I did just dig, I found out somthing off of Google, God bless google, haha, I need names, thats what I need, I just found out Robert Lichfield on another site, and I want him sued till he cant stand up, then leave him in a room with all his kids and see how they feel. Now, how old is this movment? The one to hurt children so bad? Now just as a seperate thing, who want to see physical harm done to those adults that did this to youth?
The mind is not a vessel to be filled but a fire to be kindled.

:wink: ... well I think thats your name anyway, I went there and I emailed them, thank you so much for the link. Has any one tired a massive class action law suit? to take them out? and me being curious, have they ever been protested against? I mean like sit ins picket lines, things like that, or even more extream things, like what PETA or ALF or ELF do, property distrution and alike.

I am sure someone is going to fuss about this, but if you are interested in a blow by blow of the Seed/Straight legacy....go to Wes Fager's site http://www.thestraights.com (http://www.thestraights.com) and do some skimming of his online book A Clockwork Straight. he has many useful timelines and articles as well. I actually found his site before this forum, long long ago.
Good Luck

Almost, OverLordd.
In the beginning, Synanon begat The Seed (though we don't know exactly what the connection is, just circumstantial evidence) and CEDU. The Seed begat Straight, Straight begat LIFE, SAFE, KHK (Ohio and New Jersey/Texas branches) CEDU begat the WWASP program, some of which have since bred into other programs.
The above language is a clue as to my temper toward the whole thing and how long it's been going on. Long before Synanon, there were the Roloff schools, which persist to this day in various manifestations (Rebekah, VCA and some others). It's a long and murky story and it goes way back.
The fucked up thing about it, in my view, is that this particularly sadistic brand of torture for fun and profit seems to have gained a shameful degree of acceptance and approval in power circles in this country.
You don't get everything you want. A dictatorship would be a lot
easier.

It seems you are most interested in WWASP. I would suggest the ISAC WWASP Alleged Crimes Report (link below) is a good place to start.
The WWASP facilities are:- Paradise Cove - Western Samoa (shut down by the authorities)
- Tranquility Bay - Jamaica (the harshest of their facilities)
- Brightway Adolescent Hospital - USA (shut during an investigation by the authorities)
- Sunrise Beach - Mexico (shut down by the authorities)
- High Impact - Mexico (shut down by the authorities)
- Casa by the Sea - Mexico (shut down by the authorities)
- Morava Academy - Czech Republic (shut down by the authorities)
- Cross Creek Center - USA
- Cross Creek Manor - USA
- Spring Creek Lodge - USA (employee convicted of criminal endangerment - recent suicide)
- Carolina Springs Academy - USA (owner banned from the premises)
- Majestic Ranch - USA (director charged with sex abuse)
- Academy at Ivy Ridge - USA (under investigation by FBI and 6 state agencies)
- Academy at Dundee Ranch - Costa Rica (closed after a raid and a riot)
- Bell Academy - USA (raided by authorities and closed within a year of opening)
- Midwest Academy - USA (a new facility)
- Eagle Point Christian Academy (formerly Bethel Boys Academy) - USA (a newly acquired facility)
- Bethel Girls Academy - USA (shut during an investigation by the authorities)
- Darrington Academy - USA (a new facility)
- Pillars of Hope - Costa Rica (just opened)
The recent trend is for the new facilities to deny any link with WWASP but they are WWASP facilities in all but name: same people, same program.
Here are a few WWASP-related links:
