I escaped (ran away) from the seed. I wonder how long he billed the government for my stay after I was gone.

When I said that things were a more Machiavellian here I meant it. Barker pulled off the biggest ruse ever. He honestly got the gov't to believe he could help children. I don't believe it was any more complicated then that.
Bare with me as I go off on a tangent. As of 1968-1972 Vietnam military personnel had more junkies per-capita then most cities I would think. This was right in the faces of most congressmen and senators, shit even Nixon called it a disgrace of sorts. Didn't Nixon have a bill or plan in place to deal with the drug problem home and abroad ("Golden Triangle" which the CIA ran for awhile).
So money was there to fix the problem for "DRUG ADDICTS". Problem was, "what if you were not a drug addict". I don't think they thought that far ahead, so why not swipe a broad brush across the entire TTI canvas.
Barker wasn't going to complain.
Another thought (tangent). I asked myself countless times why was the military always referred to in these discussions we have and it came to me because it is a microcosm that they can see and study and can also have a illusion of control over. The military refused to acknowledge its drug problem in Vietnam so why not throw money at it when these vets get back stateside. Better yet why not go further and deal with the drug problem stateside too.
In the movie Independence Day you saw Tom Cruise and Willem Dafoe in Mexico at a resort. It was a retreat for vets with a drug and alcohol problem.
I know that Synanon was already operating with much help from AA from the onset. It is no coincidence that the 12 steps were integrated into so many T/C's. It gave the program a behavioral structure for their residents to work at. I am not saying that the steps are successful or not. I am just pointing out that many found this easier then thinking up their own methods.
Just thinking...

MKSEARCH "biological, chemical or radioactive material systems and techniques"
Do you know what is meant by that?

Does it have something to do with "producing predictable human behavioral and/or physiological changes in support of highly sensitive operational requirements. You know, like say mind control or behavior modification?
