Finished Tu 9/7/21
This is a trade paperback that I bought in San Francisco at The City Lights Bookstore Sa 9/2/21 and I began reading it on the flight back to St. Louis on 9/3/21.
A wild read and some of it was hard to believe, but very true.
The Father Mathias Foundation
He wanted his wife, Honey to stop striping, but he needed money. He devised a scam to solicit aid for a leper colony in British Guiana. He legally chartered the name (Father Mathias befriended Babe Ruth when he was a young child) and actually paid taxes for the organization. He made $8,000 in three weeks and gave $2,500 to the leper colony and kept the rest for 'expenses'.
Religion, Inc.
Lenny was hoping that people would begin leaving the church and go back to god.
Clearly targeted by the authorities for the crime of using 'bad' words. Ridiculous. Thanks, American Taliban.
