November 6th, 1980. Geraldo Rivera on ABC’s 20/20 news with the conclusion of his investigation into the Lifespring organization.
“..there is another side to the Lifespring story. People are being hurt, or they’re hurting themselves, directly or indirectly because of their involvement in the Lifespring program…”
We learn gross sales around 1980 are about 20million per year, with offices in 14 U.S. cities. With around 100,000 people having taken part so far in the Lifespring program, is it indeed a mind control organization?
A brief overview of Vietnam prisoners and prisoners undergoing ‘mind games’ in Korea. These same techniques, allegedly used in the Lifespring program, are apparently a type of brainwashing. We hear a firm rebuttal from Lifespring consultant Dr. Robert Slagle and other organization insiders.
We learn about potential partnership with parts of the military and hear from a variety of experts in the field including foundation representatives, psychologists from Harvard, and representatives of the Air Force explaining how their airmen became enrolled in the program. A number of government officials have been exposed to Lifespring training, frequently on the taxpayer dime.
