Alex Barnes-Ross is a one man wrecking crew. You can see the string of stories of scientology catastrophes in just the last 6 months at his excellent website [&#8230;]]]></description>

It&#8217;s &#8220;Narconon Africa&#8221; &#8212; the only one in the entire continent. It&#8217;s an impressive looking place from the pictures, though it is entirely unclear WHY this is needed? &#160; My best guess? They have [&#8230;]]]></description>

This is how they describe what an intervention is: Family intervention is a common approach used because it provides the right nudge toward treatment. Family interventions work, but it is difficult to predict how the intervention could unfold. Certified family intervention specialists have [&#8230;]]]></description>

They seem oblivious to the absurdity of things they say and positions they take. Narconon is now beginning to sound like prohibitionists, targeting county music for &#8220;romanticizing alcohol.&#8221; Unfortunately, while contemporary country music stars continue to produce great [&#8230;]]]></description>
