I stil haven't found anything direct, but there's enough circumstantial evidence to let people connect the dots themselves
If we can put people to death on circumstantial evidence, I can make accusations based on it
Besides, these people are either famous or dead. Either way, fuck 'em. I'm convinced this was an experiment.
Paul St. John:
Honestly Wayne, I am just glad to hear that another person suspects it.... who's not crazy or an idiot. The idea seemed so far-fetched in my mind..
Any theories as to what the motive was for this experimentation?
I have to admit a part of me hates talking about this.. I hate talking about things where I am lacking evidence and it is possible that the imagination can take over and one get lost in a never ending world of nowhere-ness. However, so long, as we are aware, that we are merely contemplating a possibility, I would be interested in exploring this idea as a possibility..
If it was an experiment, it had to be for a reason. What did Joe Ricci stand to gain?

Matthew Israel, who founded The Judge Rotenberg Educational Center 40 years ago, announced Monday he will retire as executive director as of June 1.
The center is a residential educational program for children and adults with severe and life-threatening behavior disorders. It serves 225 clients with a staff of over 850 full-time employees.
Israel, 77, informed the center's board of directors last week that he will move to California, where he will join his wife Judy.
Longtime Assistant Executive Director Glenda Crookes will serve as interim executive director.
Israel received a doctorate in psychology from Harvard University and trained as a behavioral psychologist under Harvard psychologist B.F. Skinner.

I have a few questions for you Dr. Israel before you retire. I herd that educational and child advocate George Deabold has been poking around and looking into your center. I was also informed that Deabold just might have asked the right question or questions that prompted you to retire. Is that true sir ? I know both George Deabold and his org. SchoolWatch both advocate for child Safety, health and education issues. Dr. Israel is it true that Mr. Deabold has contacted both you and The Judge Rotenberg Center ? Dr. Israel is it not true that via a phone call between Mr. Deabold and your staff, that Mr. Deabold informed a member of you staff that he is an education advocate. Dr. Israel, didnt Mr. Deabold also inform you staff that he helps both parents and children obtain appropriate educational classification, placement and services. Dr. Israel, isnt it true your staff offer to send one of The Judge Rotenberg Centers rep's or Sales people to meet with Mr. Deabold. ? Dr. Israel, is it also true that the Center had an interest or was interested in Mr. Deabold possibly sending some of the students he advocates for to The Judge Rotenberg Center? Dr. Israel , did Mr. George Deabold request to feel the full power, pain and discomfort levels of the two skin shock devices that your center uses on children. Dr. Israel, Did Mr. George Deabold ask you about the level of pain associated with the skin shock that JRC uses ? Dr. Israel, did educational and child advocate Mr. George Deabold request to rent, lease or buy both a GED and GED - 4 skin shock device.

Re. the evolution of JRC from Skinner: Something about that time, I'm not sure what it was, created a hotbed for these types of places. There were a lot of new ideas floating around about the human psyche, and people tried mucking around with those ideas, for whatever reasons... perhaps some of them were even good-intentioned. I guess some people thought they could apply these ideas to solving some of the "problems of the day," e.g., straightening up the "errant and wayward youth" and turning them into productive citizens. It would seem that the idea that one's teenage years are, by definition, turbulent times fraught with stress and filled with a modicum of experimentation, had not yet been accepted as not necessarily a bad thing. Apparently it still isn't. ...Matthew Israel appears to have escaped close scrutiny of his methods and ideology since he focused on a small subset of youth, namely, self-abusing and mentally disturbed individuals whose parents felt they had no other alternative. His target clientele in the early days weren't exactly able to speak for themselves. Now that the Judge Rotenberg Center has started to target more mainstream malcontents, be it for reasons of greed or myopia, we are starting to hear stories of what life is really like there. May the sunlight of this current exposure prove to be the requisite disinfectant needed to put these atavistic barbaric cruelties to rest.

I posted this to see if Gerald Davidson knew Dr. Matthew Israel or Skinner.
