Keep the Pressure On YouTube!

Earlier this week, I had posted an item on the Church of Scientology and WikiLeaks regarding their documents being posted. As part of the article, I also had an update on actor Jason Beghe, who was teased on XenuTV to have an interview coming up where he talked about his time within Scientology.

Well, XenuTV Proprietor Mark Bunker had his account suspended after anonymous complaints from the Church of Scientology to take it down because it was about to come out with Beghe's interview this week.

Here's the tease that CoS was afraid of (hosted by another YouTuber).



Contact YouTube and continue to put pressure on them to bring Bunker's account back. It was under XenuTV1. Bunker is currently working with YouTube to get it back online.

Update: Roger Friedman has another story on the issue, as well as part of an interview that he did with Beghe after the release of the teaser.

Beghe has more to say, and a longer video, some of which we’ll see here next week. The more he describes the Scientology experience, the scarier it sounds. As he told me the other day: "A Scientologist who’s ‘clear’ believes he’s no longer a Homosapien. He’s Homo-novis, a new race. They believe they are the only hope for this section of the galaxy, starting with planet Earth."

Yes, Tom Cruise and John Travolta evidently believe this, Beghe says.

And, yes, Beghe did confirm with me what he’s talked about on the videos: All Scientology sessions are taped. Every one of them, including those of Cruise, Travolta and all celebrities. Does Beghe care if his tapes ever get out?

"Hell, no," he told me. "They won’t do that anyway because then the whole thing comes out and everyone knows there are tapes. They can’t do anything with them."



I always knew that Scientology was nothing to mess with. This just continues to confirm my point.

Update 2: Longer interview with Jason Beghe in Village Voice about his time in Scientology. Although the title is misleading -- he's not the first celebrity to leave Scientology, but right now he's the most high-profile.
