Jason Beghe: Scientology Is "Retarded"



This is a 2 hour talk with the actor and former-cultist, explaining how he got involved with Scientology and how it built a prison in his mind. I liked it, because Beghe is into straight talk - he gives us TMR - and it was fascinating to discover one of the major NewAge tropes of our time ("I'm trying to save the planet") is a big part of Scientology's rap. There's also a nice bit about "Big Pharma," and all the other nonsensical talking points people are parroting, in mass, these days.

Yea, it's a big ol' world of cultism. A big bad case of mass hysteria. That's our society today. And yea, it's retarded.

Check Beghe out: he doesn't seem to be moving on.

  1. I watched this whole thing, which surprised me because I don't have a lot of spare time. Interesting how Scientology couches the whole thing as a mere consumer enterprise, and what makes an American feel more in the drivers seat than being a consumer. And the way they initially took so long before they would take his money to the point of exasperation - cult genius.
