Not The First Time

Chris France

Currently living on the southwest coast of Devon in the UK. A small seaside town of Torquay, UK.

We continue his story from Part I

In late 2018 around November, on Chris’s birthday, he found out from his greatest friend and ally Adam Mitchell, some news about himself that would again change everything.

Back In Houston, Texas

Adam Mitchell from Adam Designs It is one of the 2 guys that Chris met while sitting in the kitchen of the recovery residence he lived at. His friend Duane Lawder with Radical Online Radio ,is the other guy he met. 

Chris’s packed desk and computer gear was right next to the refrigerator of the home he lived in. Every time a resident came to get food from the fridge, Chris had to slide his char out of the way.

Funny stuff if you were there. Well back to the point. It goes like this.

SoberWorx -Houston -The Birthplace of my new life

Full Blooded Scot

Scotland

Chris had always had a Scottish Birth Certificate from Scotland

Issued when he was born at the Musselburgh Maternity Hospital of Musselburgh, Scotland. Musselburgh is part of the greater Edinburgh area.

Musselburgh Maternity Hospital was built in the 1920s and originally planned as a fever hospital for Musselburgh and its surroundings by East Lothian County Council.

The hospital subsequently became a children’s home before transition to a GP maternity facility between around 1950 and the early 1970s.

Its name was then changed to Park House and it functioned as a day unit for the mental health service.

That is the birthplace of Christopher Lyall France. He was a healthy 9 lbs 10 oz. baby boy!

Hey Dad

Chris started called his stepdad “Dad” as get grew into his early adolescence

He once, convinced his dad he was well enough and sober enough and could be trusted with it. He also lied about having to have it his possession for getting something to do with a job.

His Dad, Carl had kept it safe and secure. Safe and away from Chris when he was in active addition, which was most of his life.

As it turned out to be, it is one of the only documents that survived the burning rage of his addictions enslavement  and merciless grip. He finally did convince his Dad, Carl, that it was safe for him to hold onto his birth certificate.

I think he said that his Dad sent it to him before one of his birthdays. It was 2018 or 2019, don’t really know that.

Where Is Your ID

Houston Cracks DealerS

He told me once, when he was using he convinced a dope dealer to keep his ID’s, then the next time, his nice watch he got for his birthday from his folks.

Then going back a third time, his new work van his folks bought for him.

They did that a lot when he was sober, as if he was being rewarded for good behavior. Right! The van was full of electrical construction tools. That is $6000 worth of tolls and a $10,000 van. That is expensive crack! Those disappeared in a puff of crack smoke. A lot of crack smoke. Chris has an entire story about that. He has a great name for that that story.

He calls it – 10 days in “Crackhouse Hell”, deep inside the hoods of Southeast of Houston.

Just off I-45 and Monroe.

UK Citizen Check

Well, Adam, his friend and complete supporter knew he had it, the “Sacred & All Mighty” Official UK Birth Certificate. Chris had showed it to him when it arrived in the mail from Houston.

The the Official UK Government Records of Birth here in the UK.

Please visit and take a look how we do it here!!! UK records go back thousands of years. The Scots even further back in time.

Don’t forget, people have been living in this wonderful and beautiful land we call home for over . Living here dating back to 37,000–40,000 years ago.

Visit- https://www.gov.uk/check-british-citizenship.

Well, Bingo!!!

On Christmas Eve 2018 Adam told him he had always been a Citizen of the Great United Kingdom.

Merry Holy Moley Christmas!!! Ever since he was born, he was on the books, so to say.

So he was never removed from the UK records. Even though when he was taken from the UN with his new family.

His brand new “Mummy and Not My Daddy” family.

Flying In The Jet Age

Pan American Jet Planes

He remembers going through all the rigmarole flying from Heathrow Airport in London to Philadelphia International on a big Pan Am Jet Plane.

1960 type jet aircraft. First Class I am sure.

His new Dad’s had very high top security clearances for al his secret government work. NORAD Systems, Nuclear codes, weapons and security system engineer, computer science engineer. He knew the internet before it was the internet.

His Dad told Chris that they had artificial intelligence way before they said they had it. S.D.I. was a real thing!

I’m Leaving On A Jet Plane

Remember this song, I’m Leaving On A Jet Plane by Peter, Paul and Mary. Chris had listened to it play on A.M. radio growing up it the 60’sand 70’s. The song was initially recorded in 1966 by John Denver and the recorded by Peter Paul and Mary in 1967.

The song has a line of lyrics  – I’m Leaving on a jet plane, don’t now when I’ll be back again!

Turn It To 11

Chris blasted it on volume level 11, (Spinal Tap Blab) on his audio gear, one last time, before he unplugged all the studio equipment in Lompoc, California, next to Vandenberg Air force base. Soon to be named Vandenberg Space Force Base.

It is one of the bases where Elon Musk and his SpaceX launch the Skynet satellites’ from. Falcon and Atlas rockets launched on a fairly regular schedule from there when Chis lived there.

He was living only a few miles from the actual launch site. He gave this link, it show the effects of the sun on the gasses into high atmosphere. Check it out when you have a moment. Amazing show! Very, very amazing.

New Dad Is A Genius

Dad Chess Master Carl FreemanHis new dad just happened to be one of the smartest and most logical men in the United States, at that time. Mensa, Chess Master, Advanced Chinese Go Player and all that. Working on very high security system for many different agencies with alphabets for names. Nasa was one of Carl’s last government type jobs.

He still lives just a few blocks from NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Clear Lake , Texas, just outside of Houston.

Chris had a nickname for him secretly of course. Carl may not even know this fine detail. He called him Mr. Spock.

All logic and zero emotion. Hugging and affection did not seem to be his best trait. At least Chris did not feel it.

Chris mentioned to me once he only saw his Dad cry once, and only once. It was when Chris was in a long term treatment facility in Houston. Cenikor, at that time it was a 26 month or so program.

Cenikor Treatment

Cenikor Houston Texas

He called it “Behavior Modification”. Using almost cultish techniques’ of control and power of the residents of the center. Many referred to them from the United States Federal Courts . Chris was a volunteer. Not mandated for legal reasons. Drugs were his mandate!

The image you see. The Cenikor Foundation entrance is seen in Deer Park, Texas. Chris help paint it one year. It was nationally renowned drug rehab program in Texas and Louisiana.

Now it is just seeded in controversy and mayhem. They do have a very pretty website. Very inviting. You don’t see the hidden underbelly of it’s bowels.

Bait 

Don’t fall for the nice advertising bait.

Very much not recommended by Chris and his scathing and negative review of their treatment philosophy and treatment model. Experts say Cenikor’s business model is illegal. There are so many more great solutions to substance abuse disorders these days.

Chris ‘s knows thousands of people arounds the planet that help other that suffer.

It treatment program has sent people suffering, very ill people struggling with addiction to work for free. Work free with out income being recompensed for the back breaking laborious work., and under all conditions. He said 3-4 hours of sleep per day would have been considered a normal days rest. 

Working free for some of the biggest companies in America, likely in violation of federal labor law.

Many people’s pocket were lined with the sweat and toil of all those whom swept up into their grasp. Chris was there a few days before the FED’s raided the Executives offices once. Search and platform and you will find many crazy stories about Cenikor.

This is one of them!

Brain Washing & Work Camp

Cenikor Dinning hall and meeting room

More of a brain washing place I think. A work camp for hopeless or, caught in the system, convicted and sentenced criminal drug addict’s and alcoholics.

Chris was there as a self-admitted . Addiciton drove him there! Fear of being held to account. 

Work to earn your stay! It might be considered unethical with todays standard of care but we know it does occur often throughout the USA.

Please read the link – http://bit.ly/Cenikor.

There happens to be many such places in the USA.  Shame on them for all their nefarious injuries and harms done.

Chris stayed in  this program for almost 2 years. Chris conferred to me that this was the only way he felt safe from addiciton and all it’s trouble.

Sheltered and protected from himself. To be shuttered away into a long term drug and alcoholism treatment program. Another great story for sure!

Inoculating rituals, mindless repetitive chants and yells. Ridiculous therapies , such as scrubbing a tile on the floor in the common hallway in front of central operations. He did this on his knees with a toothbrush. All that with a tight pantyhose over your scull. Tightly worn , cinching up into your forehead.

Maybe you get to wear a sigh and be placed on a “No-Talking Contract”. Chris said he loved this one. He did it twice! Try that someday for 30 days.

The Red Button

Cenikor Deer-Park Texas

Could you imagine? What it was like piling over 150 men and women, very sick and vulnerable people with a variety of different and very serious mental health concerns. All stuck in with their inherent addictions and abuse, coupled with all their ingrained criminal behaviours together.

All that with a grinding work schedule. What the hell???

Anyone there can “Ring the Bell” Kind of like the Navy Seals do in their training. 

Only at Cenikor, you “Punch the Red Button” at the front entrance and walk out. Most have to leave without any possessions, but if they feel like they need to show you pity, they might call a cab.

If you get any possession’s back they would be all dumped into a black trash bag.  Hearty brand of course. Only the best!

They might take you to the Greyhound Station on main street downtown Houston. Not a good place to be really “Stuck out”. Especially if you are a young girl addicted. Even some of the younger dudes from being “Formers”, those that pushed the button. They also became prey to the many sexual predators roaming the streets and alleyway’s of H-Town. 

Cenikor Foundation has dispatched tens of thousands of patients to work without pay at more than 300 companies over the years in the name of rehabilitation. So during a Christmas visit from  his Mum and Dad. His Dad, Carl rolled a single tear down his left cheek. Another great Christmas gift for Chris. 

This happened when Chris admitted to him, that what he thought of Chris and his addictive behavior, was all true and logically valid, off course! That was it. Once!

Passport To A New Life

Lets get back to the passport and UK Citizen stuff. This is probably the most amazing thing I have ever heard.

As soon as Chris and Adam knew for sure 100%, checking it twice they both made the arrangements to get the most important job done, with out a big hassle. Apply for the passport and wait. But not for very long.

It arrived within a few days to California where Chris was living at the time. DHL is the Official Carrier of all those types of official government documents.

Chris France Ppassport

As soon as it was in his hands, Chris proceeded to give away all his possessions’ that he owned. Computers to the kids next door for the schooling at how. Furniture and clothes to a friend down the street.

In one afternoon on the the day before he would board for his his flight back home to the UK, everything he owned, except a 30 pound bag and a 10 pound back pack was given away. Given to good people for a good purpose. He said he weighed the bag and the pack on a scale down to the ounce.

This Is Epic

So getting back to the main topic in this narrative. Chris boarded his flight without a hassle of difficulty. He made in past the airport facial recognition cams that he told me he was scared of walking by.

His paranoid thought’s were swept away as he walked through all the necessary TSA Security Checkpoints with tickets in hand, he glided with ease.  

Then TSA guy asked at asked him, “May I see your papers?” BOOM, that was it, the easiest escape from the USA. 

He skated effortlessly onboard to his “Fight to Freedom”, he calls it.

He took the enduring long flight over the States, passing over many spots he had lived throughout the 54 years he lived there. Pennsylvania, Michigan, Colorado. Fading away into the past. 

He watched out the planes window as the lands and islands of northeast Canada disappeared behind the western horizon.

With earbuds blasting to Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin, he finally felt as if he was really a true “Freeman”. (A very ironic pun to his Dad surname Freeman.) 

The only document he carried with him was his, fresh from the printers, UK Passport, Tickets and itinerary and his most sacred document. His original Birth Certificate. Every trace of his old self was left behind. 

Landing In The Homeland

Chris calls it, “The Spiritual River”. Let the river flow is what he says.

Maybe someday he will tell us all about that one. 

I get a very strong feeling it must be real the very, having the call and insight to to tell his story so candidly and openly honest. This is a story that must be told and passed on to others.

END OF PART III In Chris’s story, “The Spiritual River, he shares his experience arriving back to his homeland after 54 years of living in the USA. 

On the way to his new hometown, Torquay with his friend Adam. He sees and feels something he has known, felt and yearned for. The Plains of Glastonbury, where the festivals are held each year.

Again we thank you!

Please continue his journey here.
