Thanks for the history lesson Ursus, but your diabribe missed the mark and ignored the message of my post. That was in part, we were the first victims of the synanon system used en masse against children. We were the first warehoused kids, held sometimes by a thousand or more in abandoned warehouses. Art Barker got the techniques from AA and then the synanon techniques were layered on top. there is still a bit of mystery surrounding how that came about, but I have my theories.
We have a rightfull place in the history of this story. While the synanon style academies predated our experience and had similarities, it was Art Barker that changed the direction and tone of the experience. We also have a responsibility to the current victims of descendent programs to act and operate in a credible manner, IMO. Your opinion may vary. I suspect it does.
Before I start off, you spelled descendant wrong----------lol,........ and, are you saying diatribe, because that is incorrect as well, see where you typed (diabribe) oh and rightfull is one L (sometimes one learns more without school) Greg you were only there because of art barker, he did not change shit, except to cover up what was obviously something gone a muck ( I removed saying you idiot), I am trying to focus on what could be the next step, rather then keep hearing how this perverted soul changed anything, , he helped only himself, not you, not one soul did that bastard help, only thing he could have changed was a pack of cigarettes when he ran out, if that stupid fool left children alone,( and took in the legal so called kids, the court ordered ones), it still would not have been right the way things were, he abused beyond control is all that happened, who cares when anyone was there, I for one just know I was there against my will, and know everything he did to get to where he was at,( children were murdered Greg and all you followers of Art Barker) anything he did was to benefit him, What ever happens to him or the followers of such a cult will only continue on, should be stopped not allowed to continue in any way, I will say it over and over, and I am not arguing, that place never should have been opened, I am happy it is closed, but I know there are places opened up all over like them, yes some worse, for what, for profit is all, no one should be allowed to make any profit off of kids. So now how do we stop any more from opening, it all has to be taken to court, so laws change to protect kids now, stories have to be told from way back when it started, to show the chain keeps going on, I just want to hear about the legal shit now, on what could be done, the fighting shit is like that experiment, it is getting so out of control that all seem to focus still on them, rather then what now can indeed be done. I think for one, someone with knowledge to write a book, a true honest book, sworn in statements from people that are not afraid to tell their stories, That is what I would like to see done, not in that manner but all should understand what I am trying to say, I am one willing to meet with anyone at all, including the idiots that harmed me, for one it will help me, but maybe it will help the thousands you talk about in those warehouses, warhouse for goodness sakes,( and I mean WARHOUSES because that is all they are is WARHOUSES) blimp hangers, old moldy buildings, it all need stop, I hear kids screaming still in my head at night sometimes when I sleep, and I am sure there are some that still do as well, I guess when someone keeps something so much inside for so many years then you find this forum, you just want to scream too, one thing for sure, since all make fun of education, I sure shit will make sure someone with an education writes my story for me so all do understand it, I for one am sick and tired of the nit picking crap all for a sake of attention, what happened to working together , anyone want to try that,its okay not to like what all have to say, thing is all should be allowed to say what they want. Set aside the you part and think of all, all could change laws, they are changed daily, nothing like a good change for a change. P.S. Greg I did the spell check to show you that no matter how much school you have you can never learn enough on own.
