Douglas Misicko
Occupation
Spokesman for The Satanic Temple
Douglas Misicko, also known by the pseudonyms Lucien Greaves and Douglas Mesner, and perhaps others, is the co-founder of The Satanic Temple, which he owns jointly with Cevin Soling. Misicko also solely owns The Satanic Temple Inc.
Feuds regarding ritual abuse claims
By the mid-2000s, Misicko had begun an (apparently ongoing) feud with self-described survivor and researcher of ritual abuse and mind control Neil Brick. [1]
This mostly revolved around the non-existence of Satanic ritual abuse, which is now commonly agreed to have been a panic. However, Misicko also took aim at people who claimed to have only understood as adults that they'd been abused as children, leading to work with the controversial and now-defunct False Memory Syndrome Foundation (FMSF) [2] [3] [4] .
The Grey Faction, a sub-project of The Satanic Temple, has continued such work toward Misicko's interests in this area.
The Satanic Temple
According to Professor Joseph Laycock, in March 2012, along with David Guinan and Cevin Soling, Misicko organized a protest against then-Governor of Florida Rick Scott for a fictional organization called "The Satanic Temple", which later became an actual organization.[5]
- ↑ In March 2012, Florida governor Rick Scott signed into law a bill “allowing students to read ‘inspirational messages of their choosing’ at assemblies and sporting events”. In order to push back against what they viewed as a violation of the separation of church and state, three friends, Malcolm Jarry, Doug Mesner, and David Guinan, decided to stage a public rally for a fictional organization called The Satanic Temple, praising Scott for finally allowing Satanists a public voice. Other publicity stunts followed, but by this time a creed had been created and TST began to coalesce into a real organization. https://muse.jhu.edu/article/772858

One of the organization’s founding members, the late Ralph Underwager, gave a lengthy interview to a pro-pedophilia journal in the 1990s in which he criticized pedophiles for not being “bold enough.” Underwager said, “Pedophiles can make the assertion that the pursuit of intimacy and love is what they choose. With boldness they can say, ‘I believe this is in fact part of God’s will.'” https://www.patheos.com/blogs/feastofeden/2014/05/harvard-can-do-better-than-give-a-platform-to-a-black-mass-promoter-who-ridicules-sex-abuse-victims/
