Title: Straight, Inc.
Post by: Froderik on November 13, 2008, 12:04:59 PM
Straight is an ugly aspect of "The Combine" (to quote the character of Chief Bromden in One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest); human experiments like MK-ULTRA and Straight, Inc. are bad side-effects of our unlawful, deplorably corrupt government. They are organizations like the Drug-Free America Foundation (DFAF).

Abusive treatment facilities like Straight, Inc. and the WWASP programs cater and pander to parental fear and alienation. Program-pushing creeps like Dr. Phil find a way to make programs happen if we let them.

Yeah.  I never even felt like I was wrong about the things I believed at the time when they put me in there.  They bein my parents, Dr. Schwartz, and my guidance counselor from W.T. Woodson High school in Fairfax VA, and thanks to the judge who sentenced me and the commonwealth itself. I gain subtle insight daily.  It's a little after 12 noon on a weekday and I'm drinkin a Guinness :shamrock:  and listenin to The Gulag song.  Fuck $tr8! :rasta:  :poison: .

I am the enemy of $tr8 Inc. :rocker:

They were afraid of our thoughts, of what we would create.  The song remains the same.

The inmates at Straight were florescent-tanned and brainwashed with sleep deprivation, lack of food, and indoctrination; we were required to flap our arms in the air like crazed monkeys in effort to get "called on." This enforced act of debasement was referred to as "motivating." On first phase, they made you sit bolt upright in a chair for 12 hours a day to participate in the "raps."

Occasionally, a kid's refusal to comply developed into violent incidents involving restraint carried out by the other kids in "group" at the direction of staff. It began with a knuckle to the back... and sometimes ended up with the kid being restrained by four or five other kids in his seat, or on the floor with the rest of the kids sitting on their limbs and maybe covering their mouth if the kid was yelling. It seems there is potential for personal injury there.

You were allowed to urinate or crap only when that was considered convenient to the group; you had to pay attention to the person speaking at all times. If you were falling asleep in group there must be something "going on" with you. Unqualified peer-staff (as well as the other kids in group) went on with their jive about you or whoever being a "druggie" and a failure to your or their family. You sat and listened to (and participated in) this bullshit day in and day out with little in the way of remission.

Virtually anyone who ended up in an "intake room" was considered a chemically-dependent, powerless druggie who needed Straight to save them from jail, insanity, or death. These mini kangaroo court sessions were beyond ridiculous. Straight took anyone they could get their greedy hands on and immediately set about coercing them to admit their "weak, druggie thoughts"...

I'd say that about you and others here, plus some not posting nowadays for one reason or another, so I guess I'm not the only one...  :D

A fire of steel...a sea of madness...  :poison:  :peace:

straight inc. gave a whole new meaning to the word "direction". Suffice to say, a whole absurd sub-culture of it, laced with fear, paranoia, psychosis, coercion and whatnot was maintained inside the warehouses and it poisoned the minds of those who were unfortunate enough to be a client. "A Direction for Youth" so it said on the brochures. Yes indeed, a direction straight up the ass and right through and through the gray matter between our ears.
