Actor Jason Beghe, a former scientologist who has donated over a million dollars to the Cult of Scientology, attempts to gain entrance to a Scientology owned building in New York City. He is summarily turned away, as Anonymous looks on. According to the Village Voice (VillageVoice.com), "The veteran film and television actor (he shared a bubble bath with Demi Moore in 1997’s G.I. Jane, played a quadriplegic with a psycho primate pet in 1989’s Monkey Shines, and over the years has made many television appearances in shows like Melrose Place, Everwood, Numb3rs, CSI:NY, and the recently-cancelled Cane) was a pampered celebrity in Scientology, which covets famous actors like Tom Cruise and John Travolta.
Other celebrities have abandoned Scientology in the past, but did so quietly—Nicole Kidman, for example, has never spoken about leaving. Beghe is the first to bolt and then be so public about his criticisms of Scientology. And now, he wants to make even more noise.
So he let Anonymous members in on his plan to confront the NY “org”—the local Scientology headquarters, which is just west of Times Square. A march from Bryant Park was hastily planned at enturbulation.org, an online Anonymous forum.
(Anonymous grew out of a leaderless group of Internet pranksters that, since February, has staged monthly demonstrations in cities around the world. Scientology characterizes Anonymous as a dangerous cabal of anti-religious bigots and terrorists, but over the years that’s how the church has characterized practically anyone who dares to point out that Scientology is actually a money-making scam that promises the gullible human superpowers and then doesn’t reveal until a believer has forked over about $100,000 that the secret to immortality is through ever-more-expensive therapy to remove invisible space-alien souls from the human body.)"
