An open discussion about the troubled parent industry

My SLF was fortunate last week in that her mother moved away.  Her mom left her a video tape that contains a couple of AARC propaganda pieces, one featuring my SLF and one featuring Nathalie Oldcomer.  Fantastic demonstrations of the absolute absurdity of All About Receiving Cash.  
Nathalie Oldcomer's mother talks about her not coming home for months at a time.  That would be remarkable were she not a 21-year-old adult at the time.
Anyhow.  The tape also contains a video of my SLF's grad.  Absolutely mind-boggling in it's depravity.
A woman, whose daughters assaulted my SLF while she stayed in their home, gave a speech about how manipulative my SLF was.  This lady ended up with two girls going through AARC.  There's a good parent!
The girls claimed that my SLF had made up the assault, and she was placed on Zero Club.  SLF's mother was told that she would lie about abuse, and that she had mutilated herself, (good old pre-emptive AARC defense) and so she had no contact with her mother as a result for months.
The younger girl, as a newcomer, was to be placed with my SLF as her oldcomer.  The young girl protested vigorously, terrified.  Eventually she admitted that her terror stemmed from fear that my SLF would take reprisals against her, because she and her sister had indeed assaulted my SLF.
AARC made my SLF sign a paper stating that she had concocted the story and had mutilated herself.
And here was this scumbag lady deriding my SLF for being manipulative, and this at a ceremony supposedly in honor of my SLF.
A number of embarassing people talked about how AARC had helped my SLF's siblings, who had to sit there throughout this bizarre religious ceremony.
I failed to see what purpose this rite had in the outcome of a purported medical treatment program.  The people even had to observe an opening hymn, waiting for the ceremony to begin, and then a procession of young AARC inmates entered.   Now why these children would have any involvement with my SLF's treatment, one would assume a confidential medical procedure, is beyond me.  Well, that's not true.  It's not beyond me.  What I watched was a facet of indocrination for the kids, and an observance or ritual, of a religious group.
A great kneeslapper was a speaker telling my SLF's sibling how much AARC had helped him out.  He later ended up in AARC.  Thanks for the help.
The capper was some guy from EFAP who had never met my SLF, but who was a "longtime friend" of the Wizard of Vause, giving a speech.
All part of another successful cure of the awful medical condition known as "adolescence".  
Out the door, on to the next bank account, er, I mean client.
By the way, looked at that 71-72 Broncos roster, again, still no Wiz.
AARColytes needed to type up some fake stats and send in to Broncos Alumni, stat.

Just to make sure that anyone new who stumbles onto AARCSurvivor is up to speed.  Dean Vause is still not a psychologist.  AARC blatantly lies on their website when they claim that they have independent validation of their success rate.  The study that they refer to was written by Vause, along with a staffer, another board member and a member of the faculty of Vause's correspondence school.   The host homes are not required to meet any standard to ensure the safety of the children.  The techniques used in AARC were taken directly from Kids of New Jersey.  Kids of New Jersey was shut down due to abuses of child clients and fraud.  Vause worked for Kids, and this is in fact the training he had in dealing with addicted youth.  AARC describes itself as unique, but everything from the use of client parental homes to the terminology employed at AARC comes from other programs, Kids and Straight, that were shut down due to abuses.
AARC will take in any child, regardless of their drug use, as long as the parents will pay for AARC to take the child.  Most AARC clients are not chemically addicted to drugs, although many graduates develop chemical dependence as a symptom of their trauma at AARC.
The doctor to whom AARC refers it's clients will allow AARC staffers to be present with a patient during presentation for examination.  This ensures that the client cannot explain any injuries to a doctor in confidence.  
The man to whom AARC refers children for second opinions on addiction, Peter Choate, works hand in glove with Vause, and is in fact one of the authors of AARC's 2005 study.  Once in AARC, a child can expect to deal only with people affilliated with AARC.  
AARC preempts any complaints by accusing the children of lying about abuse in advance.
Most of the testimonials about AARC have been provided by faculty or graduates of Vause's correspondence school alma mater, the Union Institute.
As I said on an earlier post, although this is redundant, the basic facts of the scam of AARC should never be obscured.  
One of the arguments that AARColytes use, rather than addressing any of the aforementioned facts, is to say that they haven't been caught yet.  So until that happens, I will continue to draw attention to the false and dangerous aspects of AARC.

My SLF has been having All About Receiving Cash nightmares again.  It's been quite awhile since she left the clutches of the Speedy Creek Pervert, but the employment of the Synanon/Seed/Straight/Kids techniques have left some pretty hefty scars.  Pablo Escobargrant repeatedly, and I mean repeatedly, has denied AARC's nature as a fifth generation Synanon, but it's the same cult all right.  By the by, I haven't made a direct jab at Escobargrant for awhile, so I have to mention this: his book "Dimwit and Monkeyboy" opens with a breathy account of a sleepover at Dr. Tongue's 3D House of Stewardesses, and then he describes the agony of coming down from...MARIJUANA!  
Anyhow, Janne Holmgren, employing the most advanced psychopharmacological techniques of the day used to beltloop my SLF while she was on "secret missions".  I can only assume Janne picked up this highly specialized treatment practise from Kids, where she underwent intense highly structured training to become an AARC counselor.  Janne was in fact better able to counsel and relate to drug addicts because she had gone to Kids for an eating disorder.  She actually ran into my SLF a few years ago in a grocery store, and I would lay odds that her facial expression could only be produced by filling her drawers.
Back to cults.  Although she appeared on the tube for All About Receiving Cash, my SLF never did an intake.  An intake by an oldcomer is one of the more salient cult activities at the Prairie Perv Palace and Torture Emporium.  It is the moment where the child passes from victim to perpetrator, and represents the ultimate triumph for the Speedy Creek Pervert over his victim.  The child actually brings in a new victim, in spite of knowing what they themselves have been subjected to.  Inhuman.
And just in case he decides to post again, telling us all how awesome the AARC experience is, David Grant was a 21 year old adult when he entered the "Adolescent Recovery Center".  His step-father went to Kids, liked what he saw, and brought the program to Calgary.  His family, in essence, gave the Speedy Creek Pervert his shot at cult leadership and the celebrity he craved.  
Another note on Calgary Straight.  Here's a couple of examples of the host homes:father out of country, mother puts son in AARC, son finishes, mother abandons elemtary-school daughter to relatives in Europe, relenquishes all three of her kids!  Wish I could have been nurtured by that lady!  Father indigent, mother drinks heavily, puts several children through AARC, takes up cocaine habit!  Damn, why couldn't I stay with that family!  How about this one?  Mother remarries, puts two kids through AARC, turfs both to make room for new offspring.  Touching, and obviously nurturing to terrified Newcomers placed in their custody each night!  Nice work Speedy Creek Pervert!
One last question Dave Grant.  Would a youngster be well-advised to file a police complaint against AARC when the Chief of Police eskimo kisses the Speedy Creek Pervert and Crook Stanhopeless uses (abuses) her position to send kids to this organization, under the medical supervision of her husband (and whomever AARC sends with the client to ensure no nasty tales are revealed in the confidential patient/doctor setting)?  Just curious.  And please, no rattlesnake in my mailbox, it would breach my lease agreement.

There is a great little phrase, oftenattributed to the Negro-league pitcher Satchel Paige: "Don't look back, something might be gaining on you."
The Wizard of Vause and AARC adopted this as a creed, and so far it has worked.
Unfortunately for the Speedy Creek Pervert and the whole spectrum of people to whom AARC appeals, it doesn't help you if the thing gaining on you is faster and heavier.
My posts are somewhat redundant, but that is to make sure that any survivor of All About Receiving Cash can get the lowdown in a hurry.
Every day I pass on a little info to somebody new about AARC.  Every couple of weeks, my Special Lady Friend and I make contact with somebody who was in AARC, and we are letting them know that they are not alone.
The end result of this will be the closure of AARC, and with a little luck, the incarceration of the Wiz.
On Tuesday we made another contact.  My SLF ran into a former inmate who was in with her, and he has a couple of contacts.  That is how this is going to unfold.
AARC works like an STD, in that it spreads through human contact.  My young amigo, whose mother keeps AARC's number on the fridge, has a friend whose brother was in AARC, and he is now off to bigger and better things, doing a historical re-enactment of the Red Army's destruction in Afghanistan.  Thanks Mom!
My SLF's mother spread the disease, and thus a number of her mother's friend's children ended up imprisoned.  (One of those children became a heroin dealer, possibly incarcerated as of this posting)  
The endorsements for AARC in the media come courtesy of the most unthoughtful of Calgary journalists, and with the demise of Report Magazine (one of Dean-o's biggest fans was Link Byfield, super-perv and presumably current day-labourer), the only press AARC gets now is from the Society Page in the Sun.
Dean-O stole my SLF's college money, through her mother, and subjected SLF to all manner of indignities, so on a personal level I'd like to see him neck-tied, a la Bantustan ca. 1986.  However, that is unlikely.
What is now happening is that AARC is attempting to expand and throw so much money into the expansion that nobody involved will ever be able to admit that it was a scam from the beginning.  Not good logic, unless AARC were able to kill the few hundred survivors who don't actually work for them.
Being a psychopath, Dean-O can't understand that the people he screwed up will harbor ill will.  It is his fundmental weakness.  He isn't a properly-formed human, so he can't relate to other humans, except to gain control of them through salesmanship, in the case of adults, or through intimidation in the case of the children.
He adopted the Nazi practise of the big lie:he is not a doctor, can't diagnose, can't treat drug addiction, and his facility exists only to feed his tremendous ego and fill his coffers.
Others have their own interests.  Some believe that our society is going to be overrun by Asians, communists, or non-christians in general, unless the kids are made into little Facsist-bots; some are perverts and drug dependent, thus they want to project their lunacy onto others to avoid a little self-assessment, and some are just really damaged adults who were really damaged kids and never healed.  Some are misguided and believe that they are accomplishing something good.  They all have their reasons, but they are all part of an abomination and a disgrace.
Over the next few months, my SLF and I, and a few others will link with as many survivors as we can.  We will continue to write to the authorities responsible for All About Recieving Cash, and we will organize.  Eventually the lawsuits will come against AARC, against Dean-O, and against anybody whose responsiblity for this stain on humanity can be verified.  
I don't make any bones about libel.  I don't give a shit.

I received a reply from Martha Davis at the Canadian Society of Addictions Medicine, confirming that AARC emitted their fetid study at the 2005 CSAM conference.  As it was written by another Union Institute hack, Michael WishIwasadoctorpatton, the Speedy Creek Pervert, Mrs. Natalie Oldcomer and Sleepy Goresky, it was of course ridiculous:
"This evaluation design permits neither generalization of the results beyond AARC's own implentation; nor disaggregation of the multiple interventions of treatment to test alternative hypothesis."
Translation: this study is entirely without scientific merit. Now you show me  your ass, and you over there, write me a cheque.

The history of All About Receiving Cash is discernible for the most part from reading the posts on this forum.  Fortunately, Pablo Escobargrant is always willing to shed light on the creepier aspects of the phenomenon, accidentally of course, as he thinks he's selling the program.
  Escobargrant, in his story of a sad and lost suburban kid falling into the clutches of a money hungry cult leader, mentions a couple of fellows with whom he used to get high in his youth.  
  I know both of these men, having attended high school with one.  The one I knew got caught selling cannabis oil at school.  In order to reduce the repercussions for this bust, he provided a list of anyone in the school that he even suspected of using any kind of drugs.  This was in fact rather laughable, as the school was fairly divided along class lines.  The children of the elite families of Calgary attended this school, but so did the children from a number of the more hard-scrabble neighborhoods.  The "dealer" in question was from the former class, and so the "suspect" list was mostly drawn from this group.  Drug panic swept the parents, and as with most drug panics, provided an instant excuse to some parents whose children proved "troublesome".
  Anyhow, parents began sending their children to the marvellous programs like that of V.M. Newton.
  Enough kids ended up going to the U.S. that it occurred to some "entrpreneurial" individuals to set up shop in Cowtown.  Straight was already opened up in Edmonton to attract clients.
The Wiz got wind of Kids, and with the typical lust for order and power of many a good psycho went to the Eastern Seaboard.  He worked for Kids, a mutation of another child prison called Straight.
  The man in charge of Kids, V.M. Newton had been clinical director of Straight.   He was in no way qualified to run any type of medical treatment facility, but he had a phony Ph.D. and called himself "doctor".  Newton has been successfully sued for over eleven million dollars by former clients, and settled with the U.S. government to avoid prosecution for defrauding Medicaid.  Additionally, a number of his staffers have been convicted of crimes perpetrated against clients in Kids and Straight.  
  The health care system in Alberta represents one of the great virginal territories for business, and the creation of a drug treatment program that drew funding principally from right (Right?) thinking charities and the families of clients held great appeal.  
  Thanks to Pablo's step-dad falling in love with the advanced scientific methods of V.M. Newton, the Wiz came back to the prairies.  
  By this time the Wiz had discovered the wonders of the Union Institute, a fake school.  (I simply won't entertain any further discussion of this.  If you have a problem with this, ask the U of A what credit they'll give you for Union studies.)  This fake school had given V.M. Newton his phony doctorates.  The Wiz had also realized that he didn't need to franchise for V.M. Newton. He had an equally complete lack of qualifications to treat drug-addicted kids, and at least as much greed and lust for power and prestige, so Kids of the Canadian West went by the wayside.
  A number of willing freaks, associated with Kids, helped the Wiz along by holding meetings in their homes.  The fetishists from the Spinny club gave the Wiz the money he needed to get into the shitty building on Forge Rd.
  Not long after opening his Perv Palace and Torture Emporium, the Wiz and/or his supporters tapped Diane Mirosh to sell AARC to the Alberta Legislature.
  Mirosh presented a raft of testimonials from people who called themselves "doctor", in order to make the Government think that All About Receiving Cash had medical legitimacy.  Of course most of these "doctors" were anything but.  They were in fact hacks from the Union Institute.  One other was from the Yankee Institute, and a Dr. Ray Baker of UBC approved AARC based on it's costing model.
  So the Provincial Government sold all these children down the river based on the fact that the money would stay in Alberta.
  Being a single-minded and driven predator, the Wiz used his particular disgusting methods to charm and swindle more and more people into supporting this abomination.  Due to the viral nature of the cult, various officials were used to funnel children to AARC, and a board made up for the most part of parents of clients kept the dough rolling in.
  So dear former prisoners of AARC, when you come to Fornits dismayed at how these crazy fucks were allowed to attack your mind and your soul, hopefully you will at least be able to understand how the system  came into being.

All About Receiving Cash requires men's and women's underwear.  Do to wildly enthusiastic sniffing by the Leader, our client's underwear tends to wear out very quickly.  We would gladly accept any underwear, condition not important.  In addition, the Leader requires more suits.  The original supply, obtained as a result of the cancellation of the Arsenio Hall show, have begun to dissolve due to continuous imersion in low quality cologne.
