Brochures, circa 2000, for the Cedu Schools. (click to enlarge).

I invite you to look at the glossy images below, and compare that with the testimonials from ex-Cedu (and Cedu-type) schools, listed at Cafety.org [here and here] and Fornits.com.

In the forums at Cafety and Fornits, ex-students, and a few staff and parents, share stories of invasive and abusive programs, run by untrained and often dangerous individuals, whose primary qualification for working with troubled youth (or young people sent away by wealthy, but irresponsible parents), is that they were and are extremely troubled themselves.

But in the brochures?

Twenty Questions on Ethics and Standards for the New York Times.

In 2005, I was interviewed by New York Times reporter Janny Scott about the Incarnation Children’s Center (ICC) scandal. My investigation had revealed that orphaned children were being used in taxpayer and Pharma–funded drug studies in a Catholic orphanage in New York City.

Yes, the New Yorker, the favored journal of nearly 2,000 gin-sipping upper East Side Manhattanites, shocks the world by printing something that can be understood by the average American.

– “You need to make sure your child can speak Spanish“

Pandering. Missing the point. Getting the realpolitik entirely wrong. Sounding like the Holy Harvard man that I hoped he wasn’t…And to think I sort of liked the guy.

The Cedu Schools put their students through at least nine overnight and/or multi-day “emotional growth experiences.” Graduates and survivors of the schools can tell you the unbelievable details – or you can read them about some of them here.

Below find the scripts, by which former drug addicts, alcoholics, criminals and drop-outs put the children of middle and upper class neglectful parents through the 60s-70s mind-warps they invented.

- An orphan in New York City receiving Aids drugs - was he ever really infected?

The World Health Organization confesses that 25 years of international Aids projections and programs were based on fear, not evidence. But they still want you to believe them.

It is official: Aids is not explicable by sexual transmission. There is no heterosexual Aids pandemic, and further, there will be no heterosexual Aids pandemic.

“Threat of world Aids pandemic among heterosexuals is over, report admits”, The Independent announced on Sunday, June 8, 2008, mimicking what I have been reporting for years (and what some of my colleagues have been reporting for decades).

No, really. But take it from someone you trust, Dr. Kevin de Cock of the World Health Organization: “[T]here will be no generalised epidemic of Aids in the heterosexual population outside Africa.”

The mainstream medical community is beginning to understand the limits of the Aids venture into Africa. Persons who are serious about improving the lives of the poorest in the world are thinking twice about the monies spent on the Aids campaign.

There is a call for the permanent disbanding of the United Nations Aids division, in order to re-focus efforts on the myriad of problems that plague Africans: Lack of food, water, work, safety, and basic medical care for malaria, tuberculosis, and dysentery.

The writing is on the wall for UNAIDS

By Roger England, chairman, Health Systems Workshop, Grenada
The British Medical Journal

HIV exceptionalism is dead—and the writing is on the wall for UNAIDS. Why a UN agency for HIV and not for pneumonia or diabetes, which both kill more people? [….]

UNAIDS should be closed down rapidly, not because it has performed badly given its mandate, which it has not, but because its mandate is wrong and harmful. Its technical functions should be refitted into WHO, to be balanced with those for other diseases.

A couple years ago, in the San Francisco branch of Whole Foods Market, off of steep and divisionary slope of Van Ness Blvd, I picked up a flat package containing a fistful of cold, cooked white rice, and a few pieces of bloody tuna thrown this way and that. I brought it to the help desk, and asked, “What is this?”

Clinton tells the press, ‘Drop out? But the ‘hope’ man hasn’t been assassinated yet! Just give it a month!’:

“My husband [Nepotism-Monarchy Alert!] did not wrap up the nomination in 1992 until he won the California primary somewhere in the middle of June, right? We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California. I don’t understand it,” she said.

- ‘Die, Black Man, Die,’ says Hilly, on the trail. Hope dies last, indeed!

Hello, hello, Cedu survivors, escapees and graduates… and likewise, to all from similar, sister and satellite programs (the Benchmark, NWA, Tranquility Bay nexus).

I’m working on a documentary about the subject, in an effort to tell some stories and elucidate some hidden histories from our lives - the time we spent in strange isolation from the world, in one of these very odd schools, with their very odd, and then often invasive and abusive, philosophies.

This blog up for you to say hi, drop me notes, post links, ask questions, or fill me in on what you’re reading and discovering about the schools.

I’ll be posting video clips as editing continues. The basic premise is as follows: Make this work available to a wide audience, the widest audience, but especially, to those who will want to know about these schools: that is, parents who are considering sending their child away; or, a young person, who is being sold on the idea of going.

Don’t be shy, or strangers. Do check in, do post relevant links, do be friendly, and not afraid of making your experience or opinions known about the bizarrery we call Cedu.

“I really, really, really, really,” said Clinton, “reallyreallyreallyreallyreallyreallyreallyreallyreallyreally”, she continued,
“REALLY REALLY WANT TO BE POPULAR!” She told a crowd gathered in front of a Wal*Mart in Louisville.

“I really really really WANT to be important! And if you’ll help me stay important,” she pledged, “I’ll say that I’ll do things that you want to hear somebody say!” She told the slightly dazed crowd, who were getting an early start on their weekend drinking.

Court Voids Gay Marriage Ban. California [Here].

And I’ve heard the radio talk-show hounds tell me that it’s “Anti-Democratic! Against the Will of the People to have a Law Forced into Our Lives!”
