We're not too familiar with this over at Moonie World, but this is an intriguing website suggesting that there's another abusive cult receiving money -- with the approval of not just George but Jeb Bush.
They're called the Straights, and they bear a similarity to Synanon. Bush I hailed them. They're in Florida, Jeb is on their advisory board -- and it's claimed by everyone from Fox News to the ACLU that they use humiliation and mind control as methods.
Like the Moonies, they have received hundreds of thousands in federal funding under Bush. The Moonies' Free Teens USA has received over $450,000; the Straights, $350,000. Cincinatti ACLU director Marge Robertson says of the Straights, "They run very close to really performing psychic murder."
What do the Bushes see in these cults, anyway? Al Gore may have fundraised at a Buddhist Temple, but at least those monks never hit anyone.
