This video essay by researcher veritas et caritas has been edited and re-uploaded.

> The year is 2014, and Cevin Soling, also known by his pseudonym Malcolm Jarry, one of the leaders of The Satanic Temple in the US, is visiting the tiny Pacific island of Tanna, part of the nation of Vanuatu. According to Soling, “Apparently there was a prophecy I would come”. This video tells the strange story of how Cevin Soling arrived in Vanuatu, convinced that he was the messiah of a cargo cult.

The rest of photograph Jon Tonks' caption:

> In Vanuatu, an archipelago nation in the South Pacific, there is a dream that is still very much alive that men dream of being worshipped by people on the other side of the world.
>
> It is an old fantasy, going back to the early explorers when imperial powers were casting their eyes hungrily about the world.
>
> This image forms part of The Men Who Would Be King - a new book by myself and Christopher Lord, telling the stories of men from Europe and America who go to Vanuatu claiming or believing they are the fulfilment of a prophecy on the islands that say a divine man will one day come from overseas.

Partially, this is because Doug "#LucienGreaves" Misicko and #CevinSoling (a.k.a. “#MalcolmJarry”) are fundamentally reactionary Gen X edgelords whose politics never go further left than right-wing libertarianism.

"Lucien Greaves" and The Satanic Temple have a lot to answer for

How can The Satanic Temple's defenders think grotesque bigotry by TST owner "Lucien Greaves" is merely "an imperfection" to be celebrated?

In the most recent episode of HBO's #LastWeekTonight with #JohnOliver", he made a mention of a particular publicity stunt by a certain satanic for-profit business-cum-church.

In so doing, he demonstrated perfectly the way #TheSatanicTemple's grift works, and the limitations of "Last Week Tonight" as an actual news program rather than what it is: a popularizer and disseminator of the work done by others.

If the show had done a proper investigation, they would have immediately found huge red flags involving the Temple's clinic that call into question its legitimacy entirely. Since they did not, we'll show you what so many have missed despite being out in the open.

First, we're going to show how at its most basic and fundamental level, the The #SatanicTemple's clinic is vulnerable to any legal challenge or government investigation due to its use of false information in its corporate registration as TST owners #DougMisicko and #CevinSoling continue to inappropriately use pseudonyms on legal documents.

Next, we're going to look at the way the clinic fits into #TST's pattern of claiming it can help people in states with abortion restrictions and bans despite never being able to deliver on that promise, a false claim the Temple literally advertises and profits off of.

Finally, we're going to talk about how the Temple's use of a corporation that has tax-exempt church approval and unwillingness to be financially transparent makes it impossible to keep track of exactly how much money is involved, especially since every role of corporate governance is filled by the same two men, Soling and Misicko, and their pseudonyms.

What John Oliver gets wrong about The Satanic Temple and abortion rights

"Samuel Alito's Mom's Satanic Abortion Clinic" is a funny name — and a distraction from what's actually going on with TST's New Mexico Telehealth Clinic

#CevinSoling is a weird dude, and it's weird that more people in #TheSatanicTemple don't care about this.

Good video on "Mr. Cevin and the Cargo Cult" and the background behind it.

> But in practice, former members told me, the final say goes to the “executive ministry,” made up of [Doug Misicko] and [Cevin Soling]. Local groups are expected to get clearance from Salem for their events and campaigns, and to pass on a percentage of their revenue.

Today is a good day for The Satanic Temple to release its finances, by the way:

Today is a good day for The Satanic Temple to release its finances

A former member of The Satanic Temple made TikTok videos critical of the Temple and the widespread myths of its abortion-access loophole. She wanted to make sure people knew that being a member of the organization did not provide any additional protections for reproductive autonomy. In response, TST threatened to sue her—but not for what she said about its history of abortion failures.

These are also two people — #CevinSoling and #DougMisicko — who are politically completely opposed to what their popular support imagines them to be.

These are not trolls who are owning Christian Nationalists by exposing their hypocrisy; in fact, The Satanic Temple's two owners unironically want many of the same things as white nationalist reactionaries, such as completely undermining public schools:

Newly discovered passages from 2014's "The Student Resistance Handbook" by Satanic Temple co-owner Cevin "Malcolm Jarry" Soling show that using Satanic student groups to disrupt education isn't a bug or a side effect of them; it's the whole point

Queer Satanic

@SapphicSelene There are a lot of great people within The Satanic Temple who legitimately are trying to do good work.

Unfortunately, they are wasting their energy and resources supporting a structure designed to extract their labor and funds for the benefit of the two owners #CevinSoling and #DougMisicko, who are just awful people.

There is a massive overlap between the kind of person who is most threatened by #ChristianNationalism, and the kind of person whom The Satanic Temple would declare it a matter of practicality to threaten into silence for having been disillusioned or victimized by TST locally.

And when you understand that #TheSatanicTemple is designed, on purpose, to only benefit two people — two dipshit Boomers with a history of reactionary, extractive politics — you understand why that overlap isn’t a coincidence, and why the culture that results is only going to hurt more people.

@jlowenwrites @inbadfaith #CevinSoling a.k.a. "#MalcolmJarry" is not very influenced by the Church of Satan, and it seems like he couldn't care less about any of the #satanic stuff

However, trying to manipulate people and be an object of adoration fits with his history too, hence the would-be cargo cult messiah period of his life that overlapped with the first part of The #SatanicTemple

The Cevin Who Would Be King

Cevin Soling is the co- or sole owner of most of The Satanic Temple's various corporation but goes by the pseudonym "Malcolm Jarry" when associating with TST in public, including, alarmingly, on many of their legal documents.
