Jason Beghe 'unravels' Scientology • ©2008 The Village Voice

-


“I’m probably not going to be doing any movies for United Artists any time soon” – Beghe (referring to the Cruise-owned studio) 

In April 2008, actor Jason Beghe (Everwood, Jag, Numb3rs, CSI, Cane) unraveled Scientology, a religion in which he was a member for 14 years. In an interview with The Village Voice, he claimed to have given the church about a million (US) dollars to ‘reach the Bridge to Xenu’ and offered a surprisingly candid behind-the-scenes 411 on the Hollywood set such as Tom Cruise and John Travolta currently embedded within the group. 

Paraphrasing Beghe it could be said that religion is the ultimate mousetrap but still it does not work without cheese, whereas a cult is but a religion because you are the cheese.

Bodie Elfman gave him a copy of What is Scientology, a lavishly illustrated hardback that introduced him to the idea that L. Ron Hubbard had come up with a “technology” of the mind that supposedly enables the devout to achieve superhuman capabilities. The purification rundown, a detoxification ritual, caught his eye. 

Hubbard’s followers believe that if church members go through an increasingly complex and increasingly expensive process known as “The Bridge” they may unlock the capacities of the mind so completely that they become a clear, and have total recall, have the ability to leave their bodies, and are impervious to disease. After reading the book Elfman gave him, Beghe says he was ready to go the whole hog.

Exchange Stabilization Fund (Parts 1 to 4) •... by 1tommypeters1 Exchange Stabilization Fund (Part 5) • Eric... by 1tommypeters1 Bullet points summarized by The Daily Bell • The Exchange Stabilization Fund (ESF) was created (without oversight) by Congress in the 1930s to ensure support of the Dollar. It has done a lousy job of what it was supposed to do, as the Dollar has lost almost all its value. • The ESF was put in the hands of the head of the US Treasury and the US Treasurer has absolute power to do what he wants with the fund. • As a result, the ESF has acted as a giant slush fund that has funded the growth of the American Empire over the past century against the will of both Congress and many bankers in private industry. • The ESF effectively runs the US Federal Reserve and tells the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (Fed) what to do. It does this because it is responsible for stabilizing the dollar and implementing policies that are in the national inte

While it's safe to assume that Farhan and friends are not on Rihanna's Christmas card list, they are definitely on mine and I hope they progress the arrested narrative to its logical conclusion.
