Colin Henderson was a patient for only two weeks at Narconon in Oklahoma before he discovered that the entire program consists of Scientology religious doctrines used to brainwash and indoctrinate vulnerable victims. Colin is now speaking out about his experience and his story was recently published in the media and broadcast on a TV news show in Oklahoma. Colin was instrumental in preventing a Narconon speaker from giving presentations that had been scheduled in Oklahoma schools.

On October 24, 2011 a speaker from Narconon was barred from speaking to school children in an Oklahoma school. On November 2, 2011, another school disallowed a speaker from indoctrinating the school children into Scientology and presenting misleading information, with the potential to cause harm to vulnerable young students.

These school board decisions were preceded by the determined and relentless efforts of Anonymous. One such group of Anonymous on WhyWeProtest rapidly coordinated a letter-writing campaign to stop the Narconon speaker. Clearly, Anonymous has the potential to be the anonymous force that dismantles Scientology as it is known today. There is no leader in Anonymous, just thousands of people from around the globe with voices that can be heard through the conduit of new technologies and who provide the necessary information to make themselves heard by their governments and by corporations.

On November 4, 2011, a forum post appeared stating, “While lobbying federal politicians the next day, one of the pollies that I met with about cults generally said that he has a Scientologist in his electorate. He named the man. He said, actually, there is one organization that those guys are absolutely paranoid about. They're called 'Anonymous' (…) He laughed and emphasized again how utterly fixated the CoS is on Anonymous.”

Scientology-Narconon is banned from all schools in Quebec, Canada and several U.S. states, as well as many other countries.

Many patients have died while in Scientology’s Narconon rehab program and many more have suffered while there and after leaving. Clearly, Narconon is an unsafe rehab center, as stated by the recent Quebec College of Physicians decision: “…..administering treatment not scientifically recognized in the current medical literature…..” The Scientology-Narconon treatment is pseudoscience that uses vague, exaggerated claims of success, lacks openness to evaluation by other experts, and is characterized by a general absence of systematic processes to rationally develop theories.

Narconon is mostly about filling the Scientology coffers by indoctrinating vulnerable victims and recruiting the patient to join the Narconon staff. Then comes L. Ron Hubbard’s proclamation,

"MAKE MONEY. MAKE MORE MONEY. MAKE OTHER PEOPLE PRODUCE SO AS TO MAKE MORE MONEY." - L. Ron Hubbard, Hubbard Communications Office Policy Letter, 9 March 1972, MS OEC 384

The controversy over the pseudoscience Scientology-Narconon rehab program promises to continue for some time, but in view of the past year’s events, I suggest the cash cow could be running dry in the not too distant future.
