CHENEY'S NEW BACKER IN PROMOTING WAR AND FEAR - melvin floyd sembler !!! sember and his wife founded the STRAIGHTS to abuse child while making millions. THEY BELONG TOGETHER!!
THE STRAIGHTS
"They run very close to really performing psychic murder.
Marge Robertson, executive director of the Cincinnati Chapter of the ACLU,
speaking of Straight, Inc., from Cincinnati Post" . "According to sworn
testimony, Straight often left restrained group members sitting in their
own urine, feces or vomit until suitable concessions were extracted. From
Treatment, Thought Reform, and the Road to Hell by Dr. Barry Beyerstein, a
leading Canadian researcher on opiates and brain functioning who operates
a laboratory at Simon Fraser University in British Columbia, Canada .
Straight officials have generously allowed me to witness some of their
group sessions firsthand . . . I believe that Straight's treatment can be
fairly compared with 'brainwashing' in prisoner-of-war camps as documented
by Brown (1963, chap. 2)*. Thus, procedures that would be reprehensible in
any context outside of a prisoner-of-war camp are considered acceptable
'treatment' in the case of drug addiction. Dr. Bruce K. Alexander of Simon

Drugs', p. 75; [*Techniques of Persuasion: From Propaganda to Brainwashing

He is known as "Honorable" by an official act of Congress. When his
attorney recently notified Ray Bradbury that he was representing Melvin
Sembler he stated that he was representing the "Honorable Ambassador."
Officially he is called His Excellency The Honorable Melvin Floyd Sembler
Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Italy, former Ambassador
Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Australia, former Ambassador
Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Nauru, the Order of Australia, Boy
Scouts Distinguished Citizens Award, National Conference of Christians and
Jews Honoree, Golda Meir/Kent Jewish Center's Humanitarian Award, Florida
Enterprise Medal, past president of the International Council of Shopping
Centers, Past Honorary Chairman of the Republican Jewish Coalition, and
the St. Petersburg Times' Sour Orange Award. But just how "honorable" is
Melvin Sembler? Mr. Sembler is the former ambassador to Australia and
Nauru and now, fifteen years later, the US Ambassador to Italy. On October
31, 2001 Melvin Sembler addressed the Senate's Foreign Relations Committee
which was then considering his nomination for ambassadorship to Italy and
told the assembled Senators this: In 1976 Betty and I helped found
STRAIGHT, a nonprofit, adolescent drug treatment and rehabilitation
program with branches across the US, which successfully treated and
graduated more than 12,000 young people nationwide. For 17 years, I served
as chairman of the board of STRAIGHT. Other than our children, nothing was
more rewarding than this effort. Betty and I initially agreed that if we
helped one child it would be worth all the effort. With 12,000 successful
graduates . . . It was a gratifying accomplishment.
Protesters at the Italian Embassy in 2002 protesting Sembler's purchase of
the Italian job.
What he told the Senators was that he and his wife Betty were
philanthropists who had helped thousands of American kids overcome the
plague of drug addiction and that is a major reason why the Senate should
approve his nomination for the ambassadorship to Italy. Melvin Sembler is
no different from hundreds of others who have sought to buy the right to
attach a high-level office to their name. But what sets him apart from so
many of his contemporaries is Straight--the juvenile drug rehabilitation
program he and his wife Betty founded. Read now about the court cases
against Straight; about what professionals like the state authorities who
closed Straights around the country have to say about Straight; and a few
newspaper headlines about Straight:
FOX News on Sembler and Straight, 2002
.
These six girls are all telling 60 Minutes reporter Ed Bradley the same
thing. That if you didn't follow the rules at Straight they would be sat
upon. The third girl on the right says that girls were sitting on every
part of her body except for her face for 2 hours and she thought she was
going to die. The girl on the left said when they sat on her she couldn't
breath and she thought she was going to die.
Straight is about child abuse. It is about child abuse on a grand scale.
It is about depriving American kids of food and sleep; of beating them and
painfully restraining them without cause. It's about making kids discuss
their deepest, darkest sexual fantasies and activities in front of other
kids; about making kids soil their pants; about watching kids while they
defecate to make sure Straight hasn't made them so depressed they will
commit suicide. It is about spitting in a child's face. Straight is about
cajoling or scaring a kid into admitting to drug use or sexual activity he
hasn't actually engaged in to frighten parents into paying; it is about
showing parents pictures of dead kids in morgues to scare parents further
into submission. It is about paying politicians to say nice things about
Straight.
Marketing to white families. As you found out from the above links,
Straight is in reality a very destructive, mind-control cult. Straight is
responsible for the intentional physical and mental abuse of tens of
thousands of American teenagers. What's more Mel and Betty Sembler and
Straight marketed their program almost exclusively to white families as
described in the following link:
http://thestraights.com/reports/white-ki... .
Making $95 million by treating white kids for addictions they did not
have. Another disturbing fact about Straight is that Straight treated many
kids for addictions they simply did not have as documented in the
following link:
