?My understanding is there is not a lot of oversight on private schools. The process to me sounds kind of superficial.?
Yeah tell us about it. I wonder how far this cop is going to take it, and if the facility will get shut down because of this. If it does, maybe this will be a domino effect and other law enforcement agencies will look into the other WWASPS schools.
In the case of SCL it would definitely have to be an outside LEO, everyone who has seen "who's watching the kids" knows exactly why Sanders County sheriff will not do shit, the corrupt bastard.

Theyre juveniles, the didn't kill anbody, they will be alright.
We should add this strategy to the running away thread. If I remember correctly prevailing wisdom was going against taking a car.. but it seemed to work here? Frying pan to the head stealing car strategy seems effective.
So why is the owner closing the place I didn't really get that part of the story?
What do parents and staff think coercive incarceration is goign to bring? You think the kids are going to come back and thank you like regular teachers or bring apples? Yeah.. maybe apples laced with LSD so they can run while you freak out. I dont know why people are so naive.

Tacitus' Realm / Armed tax evader barricades self in home
« on: January 19, 2007, 01:42:18 AM »
By Julie Masis
BOSTON (Reuters) - An armed man who has refused to pay U.S. federal taxes for a decade has barricaded himself inside his hilltop home in New Hampshire with 20 supporters for a week after resisting an order to show up in court.
Edward Brown, 64, and his wife Elaine Brown, 65, of Plainfield, New Hampshire, were found guilty by a federal jury on Thursday of owing the U.S. government more than $700,000 in unpaid taxes dating back to 1996.
Contacted by Reuters by telephone, Brown said he has paid all his taxes to his town but does not want to pay the federal government.
"The industry and the military are working together to control everything. People don't even know it. Little frogs sitting in boiling water," he said. "The United States of America now is a fascist country."
Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Morse said Brown and his wife were both looking at "a substantial jail sentence."
The tax bills piled up mostly because Brown's wife, who owns a dental business, failed to pay income tax and payroll taxes for her staff, Morse said.
U.S. Marshal Stephen Monier said authorities were speaking with Brown by telephone but have so far stayed away from the house.
Elaine Brown, who was in court when the guilty verdict was announced, was released to the custody of her son in Massachusetts on condition that she would have no face-to-face contact with her husband.

Ignorance is definitely not an excuse for this guy. He knows exactly the kind of fucked up psychological damage he is inflicted. Most likely a sadist.

Who is this? Is this WWASPS?
It sure reminds me about that one video the brainwashed parents made with their own money singing praises of their precious wwasps program.
I hate the fact they record kids fresh out of the program in their brainwashed state.
Okay yeah I see its wwasps now that they got to the part where they start talking about the schools.
Yeah, fuck wwasp and ALL cult members who perpetuate this myth and facilitate the abuse of future children and an ideology that kills peoples individuality!
These videos are pure propoganda, nothing else. All lies. Every single person is a fool in this video.

The Troubled Teen Industry / Wilderness Training at Esalen
« on: January 18, 2007, 05:06:25 PM »
They say on their front page they will take 10 year olds. How wonderful. Aged 10-18 -- come one, come all -- we got a system that treats 'em all!
Sounds like a program for adults who want to dive in head first into the cult, if you ask me.
I don't know how to word this really, but I get the feeling a lot of wilderness and 'soft' program advocates are not exactly voting republican if you catch my meaning. A very strange and distrurbing trend, is this new age boot camp that seems to be catching on like wild fire.

The Troubled Teen Industry / crazy meds suck donkey dong
« on: January 18, 2007, 05:00:18 PM »
Interesting site. I browsed through the forum and found a dozen or so drugs that I had been prescribed to at various times. I am glad I don't take that stuff anymore.. I probably couldnt afford it anyways without medical insurance anymore.
I willingly walked into the psychiatric world and asked for their opinion of me.. to a certain degree, the first time I did. But after that it was all out of my control and I regret giving away my control like that and I will never make that mistake again.
I like fornits because it helps me to digest experience (program and brainwashing and cult members) that was new and frightening to me. But one thing I never really have given much thought to is.. I was treated pretty similar in a bunch of psych hospitals too. They are a form of coercion and even abuse too.
Its hard to explain.. I feel like its just a really shitty situation for people who go looking for help these days.

Open Free for All / Cheap, safe drug kills most cancers
« on: January 17, 2007, 06:51:07 PM »
11:58 17 January 2007

It sounds almost too good to be true: a cheap and simple drug that kills almost all cancers by switching off their ?immortality?. The drug, dichloroacetate (DCA), has already been used for years to treat rare metabolic disorders and so is known to be relatively safe.
It also has no patent, meaning it could be manufactured for a fraction of the cost of newly developed drugs.
Evangelos Michelakis of the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Canada, and his colleagues tested DCA on human cells cultured outside the body and found that it killed lung, breast and brain cancer cells, but not healthy cells. Tumours in rats deliberately infected with human cancer also shrank drastically when they were fed DCA-laced water for several weeks.
DCA attacks a unique feature of cancer cells: the fact that they make their energy throughout the main body of the cell, rather than in distinct organelles called mitochondria. This process, called glycolysis, is inefficient and uses up vast amounts of sugar.
Until now it had been assumed that cancer cells used glycolysis because their mitochondria were irreparably damaged. However, Michelakis?s experiments prove this is not the case, because DCA reawakened the mitochondria in cancer cells. The cells then withered and died (Cancer Cell, DOI: 10.1016/j.ccr.2006.10.020).
Michelakis suggests that the switch to glycolysis as an energy source occurs when cells in the middle of an abnormal but benign lump don?t get enough oxygen for their mitochondria to work properly (see diagram). In order to survive, they switch off their mitochondria and start producing energy through glycolysis.
Crucially, though, mitochondria do another job in cells: they activate apoptosis, the process by which abnormal cells self-destruct. When cells switch mitochondria off, they become ?immortal?, outliving other cells in the tumour and so becoming dominant. Once reawakened by DCA, mitochondria reactivate apoptosis and order the abnormal cells to die.
?The results are intriguing because they point to a critical role that mitochondria play:
they impart a unique trait to cancer cells that can be exploited for cancer therapy,? says Dario Altieri, director of the University of Massachusetts Cancer Center in Worcester.
The phenomenon might also explain how secondary cancers form. Glycolysis generates lactic acid, which can break down the collagen matrix holding cells together. This means abnormal cells can be released and float to other parts of the body, where they seed new tumours.
DCA can cause pain, numbness and gait disturbances in some patients, but this may be a price worth paying if it turns out to
be effective against all cancers. The next step is to run clinical trials of DCA in people with cancer. These may have to be funded by charities, universities and governments: pharmaceutical companies are unlikely to pay because they can?t make money on unpatented medicines. The pay-off is that if DCA does work, it will be easy to manufacture and dirt cheap.
Paul Clarke, a cancer cell biologist at the University of Dundee in the UK, says the findings challenge the current assumption that mutations, not metabolism, spark off cancers. ?The question is: which comes first?? he says.
