| Suicide
or Murder? by
Wes Fager. Straight kids are
watched 24/7, even as they wipe
themselves on the toilet to
prevent Straight-induced suicides.
Yet the suicide attempts and
body carvings continued. Having
broken their spirits there was
nothing the Semblers could do
to stop the deaths after a kid
graduated, was yanked by his
parents, or escaped. Over 40
young people (that we know of)
have committed suicide post
Straight--13 from Straight-Springfield
alone. Read now the case to
indict Ambassador Melvin Sembler,
his wife Betty Sembler, et.
al. for depraved indifference
to mass murder. Turn on your
audio and grab some tissues,
it will make you cry. |

"They
[stories compiled by Wes Fager] are stories
of suicides and attempted suicides, rapes, forced
abortions, molestations, physical abuse, lawsuits,
court testimonies, and extensive documentation
of profound psychological abuse at Straight
chapters all over the country." Radley
Balko, FOX News
"Wes
has become an expert on such matters . . . he
worked with me in developing a conference that
would expose harms done by these programs."
Arnold Trebach,
J.D., Ph.D., Professor Emeritus of Law and Social
Justice, American University, Washington DC,
author and former head of the Office of Civil
Rights, US Justice Department
 "Thanks
to Wesley Fager for commemorating the victims
of this abuse, who died for reasons unknown,
but whose deaths should not go unacknowledged."
StantonPeele,
J.D., Ph.D., and world-renowned author on addictions
"The
legal battle has been covered extensively on
TheStraights.com,
a site run by Wesley Fager, 58, of Oakton."
. . . "The story [says Fager] is not about
a man's penis pump--it's about child abuse."
Richard
Leiby, The Washington Post
"[Ambassador
Sembler's] holy image [of Straight] is compromised
by Wes Fager, a father who made discovering
the truth about Straight his crusade. . ."The
Semblers should be in jail for what they did.
But how could that be possible since the people
who should investigate them sit on the Advisory
Board for Drug Free America Foundation [Straight]?"
Fager concludes." Stefania Medetti of la
Rebubblica, Italy's top selling newspaper
"Articles
about the purloined pump [Ambassador Sembler's
penis pump] have been published in the St. Petersburg
Times and the Washington Post, and there's a
blog called Pumpgate
[published by Wes Fager] with links to court
documents and quotes from the players."

And
it came to pass in those
days, that there went out
a decree from Caesar Augustus,
that all the world should
be taxed. . . And all went
to be taxed, every one into
his own city. And Joseph
also went up from Galilee

Gospel According
to Luke |
 According
to L. Ron Hubbard, the big S
or Source, the sole founder
of The Church of Scientology™,
there was this evil galatic
ruler named Xenu who called
in all the people in the galaxy
for income tax inspections.
But it was a trick. As his subjects
arrived, Xenu had them shot
them up with glycol to paralyze
them and then had them transported
to Teegeeack, which today is
called the planet Earth. . .
Now, Judge Babb, this might
sound like poorly written science
fiction, but actually it is
the basis for the religion of
Scientology™. And if the
Christian story of the birth
of Christ is "The Greatest
Story Ever Told," then
Hubbard's rendition has to be
"The Stupidist". You
best be sitting down for this
one.

Bradbury
sues Florida
for
failing to safeguard his Straight medical
files
|
| For
17 years former US Ambassador to Italy Mel
Sembler operated Straight, Inc., arguably
the most destructive juvenile drug treatment
program in the world. Ray Bradbury had been
a client in this cult and later a counselor.
Like the so-called Church of Scientology™
Straight is a confession-based cult. Straight
kids were starved, beaten, restrained, spat
upon and deprived of sleep in an effort
to force them to sign a confession of their
life before Straight. Kids admitted to intimate
details of their lives prior to Straight,
including their sex lives. Kids often invented
stories of drug usage and abnormal sexual
activity in order to stop the torture. Sometimes,
in a cult of confession, kids confessed
to things they had not done at all in order
so as not to be outdone by a fellow confessor.
