- Photograph of the non-existant "Criminon Community Education Center of West Covina" at 1043 South Glendora Avenue, Suite G., West Covina, California. 91790.
Telephone number 626-856-0562. The fact that this address was a lie has been posted to Internet newsgroups for a long time now and yet Scientology hasn't seen fit to remove it from their list of "Criminon" offices.
- Close up of the actual business being operated from the West Covina address: Geness Business Services, accounting and FAX services. Telephone number 626-939-9050.
- Photograph of the "Friends of NarCONon" at 622 East Villa Street, Pasadena, California. 91101.
Telephone number 800-882-6862, FAX number 626-796-4302, drugfree@earthlink.net The female outside is reading and smoking.
I said, "Pardon me, but I'm looking for 'Friends of NarCONon?'"
She mumbled something that sounded like "Hell" so I said, "I'm sorry, pardon?" She pointed toward her crotch and said, "Ring bell." I stayed confused until Abacus said, "She said to ring the bell" and I noticed that there was a door bell to the left side of the woman. I told the poor woman, "Okay, thank you" and we went back to my Jeep and we drove away.
- A photograph of "Friends of NarCONon" from across Villa Street. This address is approximately two or three miles away from the run down criminal enterprise being operated out of the Pasadena office on Colorado Blvd (see the next few photographs for images of that office.)
- Here's the back of the Scientology Pasadena office that is really not much more than a book store -- an empty and run down book store. The parking garage looks to be shared with other businesses in the area. It's alleged that documentation that was inadvertantly thrown out in these trash bins without being shredded first and was collected by law enforcement officers who had received a telephone tip some years back before 1995. Some of that intelligence information has been presented in the alt.religion.scientology newsgroup from time to time since then.
- Just down the street from the Scientology office is this church, notable from the fake brick work that was added to the structure about 10 years ago.
- This photograph shows a view looking down Colorado Blvd. which has the Scientology office coming up shortly on the right, the sidewalk we're walking on.
- Here's the front of the Scientology book store on Colorado Blvd. in Pasadena, California.
I walked inside to see if I could get someone to either sell or give me a copy of the current conspiracy magazine -- euphemistically named "Freedom Magazine" -- however nobody was in the place. It was completely empty but the door was unlocked. Maybe the one remaining cultist was sitting on the toilet thinking of L. Ron Hubbard.
- Here's a photograph of the business on the lert of the Scientology business. There's been a large number of different businesses coming through that little office but having a very notorious organization next door probably keeps business away in droves. This hydroponics / coffee house has water hoses up along their store outside and they actually often spray a mist of water down on the pedestrians who walk along the sidewalk for some reason. I wonder what the usually paranoid Scientologists thought about that.
- Here's a view of the "Criminon International" office at 11712 Moorark Street, Suite 102, Studio City, California, 91604. Telephone number 323-962-2404, criminoninfo@criminon.org The side of the building (which is apparently owned by a pair of Scientologist brothers) is seen...
it's the two-story structure behind the wall. There's a parking garage under the two office floors. Scientology's "Criminon International" is in one small little office and the last time we visited we found that it was bascally an envelope-stuffing office with boxes of advertisements being stored there. The last time we visited we found garbage and food sitting outside Suit 102's door rotting in the sun. This visit we found out something even more amusing (see next photograph.)
- Yep, Scientology's "Criminon International" doesn't exist any more. Of course it never really existed in the first place but now they've given up playing pretend and this small little run-down office has been cleaned out with only what looks to be an expensive photocopier left inside. The last time we were there we found a little hand-written sign outside that proudly displayed a crudely written "Criminon" on it.
- Here's a photograph of the office block that Scientology used to run its take "Criminon International"
out of. Some of the garbage that we encountered our last visit has been cleaned up and the place looks a little bit better now.
- Here's a close up of the building. It used to have the names of the Scientologists who either owned the building or were trying to get people to rent out office space hanging outside and I've got those names and the telephone number for them elsewhere on the Reprogram.NET web site.
