DIRECTOR QUITS. WARNS OUR COMMUNITY!

September, 2006 I wrote the Los Angeles Board of Supervisors because I am quite concerned with the proposed establishment of Narconon in Bouquet Canyon near Leona Valley and Green Valley. I am the former Executive Director of Narconon Connecti- cut and I am also the former Director of Rehabilitation for the Church of . I spent over 27 years in the Church and for many of those years I worked for Scientology’s intelligence branch so I am quite familiar with much of their internal workings, including their methods of decep- tion and cover up. By their standards I was a very good ED. I was a ruthless, heartless bitch that pushed for stats and money! As a former Executive Director of Narconon I can attest to the complete lack of success of the Narconon program. http://www.xenu-directory.net/accounts/pieniadz20060302b.html A more scholarly report on the lack of success in the Narconon program can be found here: http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~dst/Narconon/doesitwork.htm I write to you, residents of Leona Valley, Green Valley and Bouquet Canyon, not because I oppose treatment for those addicted to drugs, but because I am opposed to this unsuccessful Scientology front group setting up shop to funnel government and private funding into their coffers and lure the unsuspecting into their coercive cult. Thank you for your time and consideration.
