Lucien Greaves

Douglas Alexander Misicko , born August 1975, 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 . Misicko claims to have studied neuroscience with a specialty in false-memory syndrome and graduated from Harvard University at some point.[[1]]( Sometime before 2002, Misicko began using the pseudonym "Mesner". He also befriended Church of Satan member Shane Bugbee, who ran an independent press. Together they worked on a new edition of the virulently antisemitic, misogynistic, and white supremacist proto-fascist work Might Is Right , which had formed the basis of the first section of Anton LaVey's book The Satanic Bible . Under the name "Doug Mesner", someone wrote at least five books about Flat Earth theory, per GoodReads.com:[[2]]( However, as of 2021, Misicko denies having written them and claims it was a prank against him.[[3]]( On Sept. 11, 2003, they put on a 24-hour Internet stream with Bugbee's spouse Amy Stocky Bugbee to celebrate the book's release and talk about wide-ranging subjects such as the problem with evangelicals and where Timothy McVeigh did or did not go wrong. They interviewed white supremacists Tom Metzger and George Burdi as well as Church of Satan High Priest Peter H. Gilmore.[[12]]( [[13]]( Threw the baby out with the bathwater, so to speak. It’s just like, ‘antisemitic’ to me isn’t a bad word. It just depends. Like, I think it’s okay to hate Jews if you hate them because they’re Jewish and they wear a stupid fucking frisbee on their head and walk around thinking they’re God’s chosen people.[[14]]( Misicko then clarified that it’s not okay to hate non-practicing Jews who only have "Jewish blood", however, leading Bugbee and Stocky to disagree while making increasingly aggressive claims about not liking anyone with a drop of Jewish blood as well as arguing about who and how many actually died in the Holocaust. In 2018, the comments resurfaced as part of a broader schism between Misicko, Cevin Soling, and some other members high-ranking members on the one side and numerous local chapter leaders and members on the other, and many chapters chose to sever connections with TST that year.[[15]]( [[16]]( [[17]]( According to David Shurter, another self-described ritual abuse survivor Misicko has feuded with since at least 2015, Misicko has also used the Facebook pseudonym "Konrad Josefsson" to continue engaging with him.[[26]]( , as well as to tell others why Complex PTSD is beneath his contempt[[27]]( . Innocent people have been convicted and imprisoned on the “evidence” of recovered memory testimony, even though this is the exact same “evidence” we have for alien abduction, and is the same “therapeutic” process by which people practice “past life regression.” I have a long and complex body of writing, much of which can be read at www.process.org, where I detail in a number of articles how this cult-like therapy subculture continues to ruin the lives of innocent people. So one of my own goals is to destroy this harmful pseudoscientific practice, and dispel the myth of an international Satanic conspiracy. The broader goal of the Satanic Temple in general is to advocate for all of those who are unjustly maligned, demonized, or marginalized—victimized by conspiracy theorists and dogmatic supernaturalists. The Grey Faction , a sub-project of The Satanic Temple, has continued such work toward Misicko's interests in this area.[[29]]( this work expanded Misicko's targets to not only those who have "false memory", but those who have dissociative disorders, experience dissociation or repression of any kind, and those who come to terms with abuse later in life. 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 or
