It's bad enough that this rich guy seems to think he can buy an office
already occupied by a legally elected official.
It's even worse that he has a history of involvement in car theft schemes.
However, as a recent article in the U-T shows, he has no discernment
when selecting organizations to publicly support with the presence of a
member of his office. I'm referring to the recent "grand opening" of
Narconon Warner Springs, a purported drug rehab facility based upon the
junk science concocted by college dropout L. Ron Hubbard.
Narconon is a front group for the Scientology organization, an
organization considered to be a totalitarian cult by many European
nations. Italy, France and Germany recognize the threat this group poses
to democratic societies.
Now, why would Issa want to seem supportive of a front group connected
to an organization which was the perpetrator of one of the biggest
domestic espionage cases in the United States? Operation Snow White was
uncovered in the 1970s, following an extensive investigation by the FBI.
Thousands of stolen government documents were found, a result of the
Scientology organization's attempt to remove incriminating references to
them from government files. As a result, Hubbard went into hiding for
the rest of his life, while his wife, Mary Sue, went to prison for a
couple of years.
Despite their misleading assertions that Narconon is not related to
Scientology, there is a wealth of information to the contrary. If
Issa's people had done a bit of research rather than relying on the
slick PR material provided by Narconon, I'm sure he would have had
second thoughts about sending a representative to the Warner Springs
opening. I hope so. Narconon is being positioned by Scientology to
receive a piece of the faith based charity pie.
There is a wealth of information online which clearly shows Narconon to
be a fraudulent, ineffective recruiting arm for Scientology. The finest
resource on the web for Narconon related information is historian Chris
Owen's site,
http://www.narconon-exposed.org
Relying solely upon Narconon's misleading promotional material is like
researching a Gremlin from a Ford dealer.
If Issa is that naive or ignorant, I certainly won't support his
candidacy for Governor of California.
Sincerely,
The name "Narconon"® is trademarked to the Scientology
organization through one of their many front groups. The name
"Scientology"® is also trademarked to the "Church"
of Scientology. Neither this web page, nor this web site, nor any of the
individuals mentioned herein assisting to educate the public about the
dangers of the Narconon scam are members of or representitives of the
Scientology organization.
If you or a loved one needs help -- real help -- there are
a number of rehabilitation programs you can contact. The real
Narcotics Anonymous organization
can get you in touch with real people who can help you.
