DCH investigation of Narconon of Georgia and its own internal investigation.

Of course many a Narconon is probably scrambling for those inbound calls from the Georgia websites as their own lines are probably downstat.  I picture hyenas hovered over a dead Narconon picking away, hoping for a morsel or two to forget how hungry they've been.

That paints a vivid picture.

On the tape she mentions a Matt Henley from Michigan called her back.  There is a ripoff report on freedom center with his name on it.

Also suggests he was from Narconon georgia.

At least when the criminal charges get pressed, finding the criminals won't be difficult.  They will all be working at other narconons, considered by them to be their version of ethical.  Only in Narconon does a job interview with an employee who has recent crimes result in an immediate hire.

Matt Henley of Narconon Freedom center has popped up in complaints before. While I am glad he's not doing as bad addiction wise as before, he lied to Mary Morton about his drug of choice. He's an alcoholic, not a 'meth' addict.

Of course you are forgetting that many people use new drugs for the first time while a student or staff at Narconon...especially Narconon Georgia.

Narconon probably cured his alcoholism by giving him a new meth addiction.  Which counts as a success!

Yes, I did forget 

[Kelly Irwin]

With their attitude about alcohol, Narconon doesn't seem like a very good place of employment for an alcoholic in recovery. Poor guy.

Of course, he has a choice, but he may be très confused.

The complete end of Narconon of GA. No more licensing appeals. It's toast. What a wonderful thing to celebrate tonight, hoping the same for all the other Narconons being investigated. There's more news here as well, regarding the credit card and insurance fraud investigations. Kudos to the Deesmond Family, diligent Reaching For The Tipping Point members, attorneys Jeff Harris et al, WSB-TV, WSB-Radio, Mary Morton, Gay Ferree Eitenmiller and others who made their complaints known

This is actually the last installment of the WSB investigation that was published in September - so it is not a new story. Over the past few days, they updated the investigation index page and all of Jodie's major articles got re-dated as if they were updated. But they weren't really... they just got their sidebar list of related content tweaked so that everything ties together better.

The real change is here, and it's just cosmetic:

Ortega pointed on FB and elsewhere it is likely this was done for some contest - annual journalism awards for 2013 will be coming in the near future.

[Mary_McConnell]

Thanks... I second guessed myself on that. I thought it was already shut down completely already but the article date and the fact that Kelly Irwin posted it as well on FB convinced me it was new news... Oh well.. it's still good news, lol

[SocialTransparency]

 Thankfully I do not get my news from either WSB or Tony Ortega.  . MY HERO,S are LOCAL and do NOT need the limelight to advance their careers or reader base.

 Happy New Year! to those who know the truth and nothing but the truth!
 


^^^^^ BEFORE WE LOCALS GOT INVOLVED.

Happy New Year, everyone!

 

Looking forward to more celebrations in 2014.

[ethercat]

Here's to all the local heroes who are having similar impacts in various Narconon locales, whether the impacts have hit the limelight yet or not!
             

I hear rumors...  I foresee dead Narconons coming...

Happy 2014 everyone!
