The Game: A Return to the Elan School (Memoir Series Book Five) by Wayne Kernochan
(ASIN: B008IT7666)

Book Description

Publication Date: July 7, 2012

The Game: A Return to the Elan School, is the fifth book of my memoir series, and the story of the first book in this series, A Life Gone Awry: My Story of the Elan School. This book tells the history of the tough love industry from Synanon, to the Seed, to Elan and Straight Inc.as it is revealed to me by survivors in the aftermath of the closing of the Elan School.

When I found Danny Bennison trolling an Elan survivor group pretending to be a survivor, the first thing I felt was fear. When the fear was resolved I confronted him and said he was one of Elan’s worst abusers, and that I had written a book about it. Danny and his friends laughed and said I would never find a publisher who would go up against Elan’s lawyers, and I agreed, so I self-published on Facebook and posted chapters as I wrote or edited them.

From Synanon, to the Seed, to Elan and Straight Inc. a cult became a state sponsored industry. The Game asks and answers the question, “Who gave them permission to use this therapy on mentally ill and autistic kids?” and digs for the stories of the people behind the scenes. Joe Ricci, Miller Newton and Mel Sembler are assured a public legacy as criminals and child abusers, but there were men in the background, never spoken about. Nobody can find information better than program survivors, so The Game is an indictment of the men in the shadows who masterminded this crime, and made billions of dollars.

This is my story. This is our story. This is their story. This is an important part of our nation’s history.

This has got to be the funniest shit I have ever read. You fucking people are reading a memoir from a guy (author) that was hired to write the story for a gentlemen by the name of Albert Beauchane. You think because you have talked on the phone to Matt, Wayne and possibly Mark and exchanged some emails that this confirms Wayne is real.....you are way out of your league on this one.
Wayne Kernochan never went to Elan, Albert Beauchane did. Albert was incarcerated with Danny during the early to late 70's. Do any of you here on this site do any research or study or is this all left up to Orange. You are idiots. Albert Beauchane was in Elan with Danny, he is a member on every TTI site. Don't you think that the very people on facebook TTI sites that know Danny specifically Jo Baer, Peter Arnold, Albert Beauchane, Joy Brown etc...would have come out and backed Wayne. They are there right now, posting. Albert B. and Danny were in the house Wayne is talking about Elan 7, together, at the same time.
JR, you are an idiot along with Gunthar, Avocagno and others. You have no reason to spread this shit about Danny and you are doing the exact same shit to Clara. This is mean and abusive, you are stalking her and bordering on a restraining order to be honest.
What you are doing is fucking sick, what many of you do is disturbing here.
We are not going anywhere, JR, ever.

Danny Bennison has been among us, cyber stalking here in the Orange Papers Forum and in the rfr site (not to mention various others). He has recently been banned from the OPF many times under different alias'. He has pmd members and has pretended to women to gain trust. Danny Bennison is very dangerous! He has also tried to get into our lives by pretending to be opposed to Alcoholics Anonymous and making up stories that would seem similar to ours. His name is Danny Bennison. I know this and his alias' which, to name a few, are Calinda (currently), Pkats, Trisha K., Perplexity, Tracelin, Diablo, and many more. He has harassed many of us and has also cyber stalked us. I know that Danny B has used those fake names because they came from the same ip addresses which belong to Danny Bennison. He also has other identifying features and usually resumes cyber stalking and harassment after trying to infiltrate into the lives of others in a friendly/fraudulant way. Be careful and stay safe. Don't allow him into your life at all, or share information with him.

Bless the victims of Elan and all youg people that have suffered from the abusive treatment centers.

To whom are you directing your warning to, avogadno? The 2.5 million new posters? Or the ones who've already read these allegations over and over and over?

“The essence of the independent mind lies not in what it thinks, but in how it thinks.”
― Christopher Hitchens, Letters to a Young Contrarian

Warning, please members read this carefully. This member has pulled this same ruse on other members. She is a pathological liar who desperately needs attention from others.

I think that we also have to acknowledge Avocagno. Avocagno accused two ex members of this site of calling her home and threatening her son. Danny Bennison and Trisha Kerry, these were unfounded accusations and extremely hurtful. Avocagno has pulled this kind of stunt many times on different people.
Avocagno has a relationship with the author Wayne Kernochan, Wayne wrote a series of memoirs detailing his homosexual prostitution, conning middle aged men out of their life earning, ripping people off, stealing, lying, cheating and defaming people in order to make money. Please read the detailed exploits of Wayne Kernochan on Fornits and in his memoirs.
Avocagno just was accused of using people and trying to entrap them in a clever ruse. I explained the manipulation she tried to pull off using Trisha and Danny.
Please be careful with what is being explained here. The person Wayne Kernochan has also spent time in prison for arson. Wayne burned down his fathers house.
I could go on but i think everyone gets the idea. Avocagno is being once again, vindictive and very mean to someone she doesn't even know (Danny). Avocagno has no idea who Danny Bennison is, none.
She has also been asked to support these "WARNINGS" she keep talking about. Where is the evidence, show us where Danny has been arrested, incarcerated, anything?? her response is more uncorroborated bullshit. Yes, BULLSHIT, is the word that best describes this woman and what she says.
Avocagno, we are still waiting for the results from your police investigation????? I didn't think so.

Members and future members, I am a close friend of another member here and I am going to tell you what is really going on here.
Avocagno, is your typical anti-AA member here, she will drop her standards to any level she has to, so she can make a point. Danny Bennison, has no record what so ever, has never been arrested, never been charged with harassment, stalking, rape, sodomy and has never had a restraining order put on himself. I know, many of us have put up our hard earned money and had this guy checked out throughly. If you don't believe me, please by all means investigate him yourself.
As far as we could find out the Daniel Bennison being referred to here, has no idea he is even being impersonated or being held to these outrageous claims.
Avocagno, has not done one ounce of work to find out if what she is writing is in fact the truth. All she has done is listen to Wayne Kernochan and parrot everything he has said.
Wayne Kernochan wrote two memoirs, so because he wrote them this means they are true.....Bawawawawa. She is an idiot.
What Avocagno is doing is exactly what Wayne is doing.....both of them don't care if it is true or not, so long as it justifies the ends. The ENDS, humiliate Danny and paint a black scar for AA.
This is the type of person Avocagno is hanging around with.
As far as having someones IP address, so what you are saying, is Orange gave you a members IP address or Orange assigned a member an admin privilege and they gave you the IP address or you are an admin here on Orange and you are threatening members with their IP addresses.
Thank you avocagno, I could not have explained your behavior better than you have. I am sure after people have read what I have had to say they will take another look at you and ask the same question I have. What in hell did this world do to you, to make you so bat shit crazy.

There is plenty to suggest that not only Danny deserves credit for cyberstalking on this site. While I don't care if some bored person is infatuated with the life of another, I don't think it is fair to simply point the finger at one person when many others have participated in the same thing. If Danny did the things he has been repeatedly accused of on this site, he should be prosecuted, but that doesn't absolve others of the way they behave simply due to a difference of opinion. There is no reason to become like your abuser.

Then she is as nutty as Anth/Misty or posts under multiple names because she tripped herself up in some responses. In any case, what she did on this site was against the fellowship and if she's truly involved with it and she knows anything about it, she knows she was wrong. Having said that, why would anyone go to the time and trouble to go read up about someone else's divorce, things that are not online and easily available to someone living in Canton? Why try to befriend Allison and try to help her with her disease when she was also quick to say she had held no judgment? And now it is revealed that she is a regular poster and proponant of Anth?misty? I am amazed that there is no end to the sleaziness this couple will go to, or their adherents, to harm this woman. Annie's posts on HuffPro were downright eerie, and she claimed to know Allison's daily interactions. I find some of these people to simply be unhinged - or just stupid...

Could these people be any more predictabe? Not only are they posting under Friend of Bill W, they are trying to entrap Allison into responding to a very lengthy post signed by an alleged AA member named Annie O'Toole. Yet this same blogname sounds very threatening toward her on HuffPro websites. So... are they victim or victimizer? If anything, any real FOB wouldn't do such a thing... I enclose...

>

This was in response to a post made to yet another blog name where the writer sounded threatening toward the ex. You can't even keep up with the names.

These people are vicious. I cannot imagine acting as if reaching out as a friendly gesture, only to have the real motive revealed somewhere else.

You know, it is rather funny. I don't know if Allison is an admitted alcoholic or not, but she could be right about how often children see their parents "buzzed". You are legally drunk if you've had three drinks, and I know people that do it all of the time. Ever been to a Superbowl game? To me, that isn't as important as recognizing a problem and getting help for it. After all, Anth/Misty claim their site is for that very purpose. Why consider it a liability if a person chose to go to AA?

I blog on HuffPo under the same handle as I do everywhere else. This lady has her supporters. In any divorce, you just have to love your children more than you hate hate you ex. That she was getting help for a problem was a good thing. I just thought it was ironic that this woman would chase us to every blog that outlet that carried the story, yet blame people. The ex published all of the sites on his website to further push the circulation. It's been a shame. I thought it was shameful to offer oneself as a sponsor to help a third party, and I still do. Bringing my posts here demonstrates my consistency and steadfast support.

Not at all, JR. I don't look for prospects at all. I used to sponsor people but I was too involved and too soft. When they needed things, I gave money, and you can't do that. People have to find their own solutions. Instead, I got into a lot of service work. I assisted people with cancer in the program, and I became sister of sorts to others.

I blogged on that blog just as I blog on any number of subjects at HuffPo. I would have no clue about fake user names because I only use one. Annie used several, including WatchingAllison, where she tried to make it out as if she were watching Allison's every move. Hmmmmm... JR, what are you up to? The Morellis have been divorced for several years. It amazes me the emotion some people had over the potential loss of their online clubhouse and how vicious they became.

Let me jump in on this Avocagno. You stalked, harassed, copied posts from different sites, posted pic's from her facebook site and just totally tore into Clara, on this site.
You purposely stalked and harassed and made a flat out criminal accusations against Trisha and Danny that was totally false, you used your son as the bait. This is sick pathological behavior.
Don't come around here trying to explain your behavior away, Avo you are sick. It is really that simple. Get some help.

Why do you keep saying Danny stalked you? Unless you can prove this with hard core evidence you should just shut your mouth. This is the shit we are talking about here that is happening more and more on this site.
Avo, people like you are just tearing this site apart. You make claims and I mean some pretty outrageous claims with absolutely no corroboration at all. You don't even care either, you talk through your ass.
Nobody has done anything to you, why would anyone want to even bother with a pathetic fool like you?
Move on girl, there is no attention for you here. Take your silliness back to RFR.

It’s always so astonishing just how stupid you really are. And it’s amazing how you are blaming avo as being a stalker when it was you who so eagerly gave out the information on clara, bragging about how a school child could have done the same in 15 minutes.

And it’s unfathomable that you could write the above posts and not even begin to know how it is that we can always accurately identify you. You truly are the fornits idiot. In fact, you’re the idiot everywhere you go. Kinda sad really.

BTW, danny, where is your lawsuit against Wayne? Moron.

Actually, I don't know the truth, Avo. I never shared anything with anyone under those names you claim are Danny's. I just don't get why anyone would think I am all that interesting that they would run around the net looking for me, hacking into accounts and Ben suggesting I have outstanding warrants. In all fairness, JR was doing stuff like that from the beginning and Anti is the one that breathlessly ran in here, saying that I blogged on Huffpo under that name. Why blame it on Danny? So he could allegedly get into some "secret" group? It just sounds childish and so unbelievable, especially when it is just a blog of the same people here. And you got in on it, too, Avo. You posted pictures of mine as your avatar, as did Gunther, PIE and others. It's kind of tough to find the good guys around here as everyone does the same thing while pointing fingers at others.

And what did anyone find? That I really am just a happy woman in my life of sobriety regardless of how I found it. I apologize for not having been humble in some instances, but if you knew what my life had been like before, my gratitude would be completely understandable to you.

It's just a blog, folks! It is just nothing to get that serious over... I don't know who these new names are, but it is beginning to get even too stupid for me around here.
