Jason Beghe’s Germany speech in Village Voice
Tuesday, September 16th, 2008Actor and Former Scientologist Jason Beghe had his German speech covered in the Village Voice.
Two weeks ago, Beghe gave similar warnings about Scientology to some German government officials in Hamburg, and videotapes of his presentation have been posted to the Internet in various places.
German officials are sensitive to the rise of tyrannical movements, for obvious reasons, so the German government has long been suspicious of Scientology and its notorious methods of coercion, which have been exposed in so many U.S. court cases going back decades. And since Germany and other European countries don’t share with the U.S. a squeamishness about all things religious, Scientology hasn’t been able to shield itself, as it has here, by claiming to be a “church” whose beliefs are off-limits to government scrutiny.
