Les détracteurs de Narconon se font entendre

David Edgar Love and several masked protesters made themselves heard yesterday outside the Narconon facility in Trois-Rivières.

Sporting masks like the one V wore in V for Vendetta, the protesters wanted to get their message across to the public as well as to Narconon's patients. Brandishing signs on the roadside, the protesters were observed by some of the center's patients who were outside at the time. One of the placards said: "Run! Narconon = Cult of Scientology."

For David Edgar Love, Narconon represents a danger to patients. "They don't have the qualifications, they don't have the nurses, they don't have the doctors needed to treat patients," he says. According to Mr. Love, the treatments provided go so far as to endanger the lives of patients who receive them. "It does a lot of harm," he said.

Mr. Love explained that, when he was working for Narconon, his employer's advertisements touted a 70% success rate, but he says this claim was far from reflecting reality. He mentioned as evidence the example of a man who underwent detoxification at Narconon five times.

David Edgar Love is a former patient and former employee of Narconon Trois-Rivières. Mr. Love was admitted to Narconon in 2008 for a drug problem and he was hired there in 2009.

He has filed complaints with the Labour Relations Commission and the Human Right Commission. He argues that persons addicted to alcohol or drugs should be considered as persons with a handicap and should therefore have the same protection.

As a result of a regulation that took effect in July 2010, therapy centers for persons with addictions must obtain certification from Quebec. However, the process is taking longer than planned and not all centers have obtained this certification yet.

Last February, Mr. Love met with officials of the Mauricie and Central Quebec region Health Agency in connection with this certification.

When the Hubbard OT3 recording was being played, Andre Ahern, Narconon Staff Member (Scientologist), was "Handling"
the Patients while it was playing, he called the Police. When the Police arrived, Andre Ahern went to talk to them in the building.
As soon as the Patients lost their baby sitter, Andre, a couple walked over to talk to us by the road side,..., until a
Student Control Officer saw it and forced them away from us. Big Fail on their part.

Guy Fox is still working on more Videos and Photos. We had a raid on Sat and Sun, so he's been working over
here on the Montreal ORG Protest; but more should be up here soon, including the Television News Broadcast
and the Newspaper Article.

Saturday's Montreal Protest: Montreal Scientology protest w/David Love, July 16 2011

Thank you for translating and posting thse, mnql1!!

I'm SO glad Anons are protesting the Narconon there in France! What an awful scam perpetrated on the truly vulnerable.

Why does Narconon end up hiring so many ex-Narconon "clients" ("patients," to me, implies that some sort of medical service was being rendered)?

In any case, they made a mistake hiring David Love!

Good for you, Mr. Love. You're a powerful advocate.

God bless you all!

Epic protest video from the well talented Guyfox (now with fixed audio)
http://youtu.be/lEn06XUTloY
Which he informs us is trying to be taken down by the cult. It appears that Andre, the head honcho of Narconon in Trois-Rivieres, has filed a privacy complaint with Youtube in an attempt to take down the video.
He requests for people to mirror the video to as many youtube accounts (and as many other places as you can).

Here's bulletproof mirror at RUtube:
