Conversion “therapy” sounds like “Come to my office once a week, and we’ll talk about it”<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Nothing could be further from the truth. Conversion Therapy is based on Korean Brainwashing techniques outlawed as torture after the Korean War.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Techniques include Beatings, torture, LSD, shocks with Tasers, cattle prods, or old sine wave electrodes to the brain, sleep deprivation, starvation, a “box” usually made of corrugated steel that creates extreme heat in the daylight and extreme cold at night, rape, rape with objects ranging from broom handles to beer bottles, even baseball bats. Unlike interrogation, where cooperation ends the suffering, nothing ends the suffering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These places are run by the worst kind of terrorist sadists. They get to kidnap, rape, torture, and terrorize kids for months at a time without ANY CONSENT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parents are rarely told the details and often think it’s like a summer camp. Rachel Maddow investigated these places and talked to survivors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About 90 percent of those subjected to Conversion Therapy attempt to kill themselves within 6 to 18 months of “graduating”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
