The Church of Spiritual Technology Has the Power to Take Down David Miscavige: Why Isn’t It Doing So?

The Church of Scientology International’s 1993 Form 1023 IRS application for religious tax exemption contains a wealth of information. This little-known document is posted below.


Among other things, the 1023 specifies that the Church of Spiritual Technology can take back Scientology’s advanced tech and religious marks, which are controlled by RTC, under these conditions:

The Articles of Incorporation for CST require it to have three tax lawyers as “Special Directors” to ensure that Scientology organizations never act in a way to jeopardize Scientology’s blanket tax-exempt status granted it by the IRS in 1993.


There is no requirement CST’s tax lawyers be Scientologists. The original CST tax lawyers and Special Directors were non-Scientologists Meade Emory, Leon Misterek, and Sherman Lenske.


The question is this: Why are the current CST tax lawyer Special Directors not acting to remove David Miscavige as he poses the greatest single threat to Scientology’s tax exemption?



If CST were to exercise its right to buy back the advanced levels (the OT Levels) and the trademarks from RTC by citing the danger David Miscavige poses to Scientology’s tax exemption, then this would put David Miscavige and the Church of Scientology out of business immediately.


This would happen because a) CST owns the lower levels and trademarks, and b) CST has the right to acquire, upon demand, the advanced materials to RTC for a nominal sum.


In terms of history, what RTC did — per its charter — was to exclusively license the Church of Scientology International (CSI) to manage the technology and trademarks of Scientology.


RTC was then supposed to step back and act to guarantee that the technology and trademarks of Scientology were kept pure, not altered, and were delivered 100% standardly per LRH policies.


In terms of history, what CSI did was to sublicenses all of Scientology’s service delivery orgs, printing orgs, social betterment groups and all other Scientology groups to use and deliver Scientology’s intellectual property and trademarks. In exchange for their sublicenses, CSI’s sublicensees were to pay royalties to CSI. In turn, CSI would keep a certain percentage and pass the rest of the royalty money up the chain to RTC and CST.


If CST’s tax lawyers were to actually do their jobs and take back the advanced levels and trademarks from RTC, then CSI would lose its license to operate as would Flag, the Freewinds, CC Int, Bridge Publications, WISE, ABLE, Narconon, and everything else.


Scientology would be out of business. However, once David Miscavige was removed, CST could quickly reinstate all of the licenses.



Concerned Scientologists and interested parties should file a lawsuit to compel CST, its Special Directors, Trustees, and Directors to take back the advanced tech and religious marks from RTC due to the massive and irreparable damage David Miscavige has caused to the Scientology religion and image and repute of L. Ron Hubbard.


David Miscavige has caused serious damage to the Church in many significant ways, particularly by the massive public exposure his physical assaults upon senior Church executives; his waste of money on paying PI’s for 25 years to spy on Pat Broeker; his numerous documented lies and falsehoods; his use of hate websites against those he deems enemies, etc.


The list of Miscavige’s wrongdoings, perjury, and the damage he has caused Scientology needs its own website.

Some facts to know about CST:


The Church of Spiritual Technology is a non-membership corporation and can have no members.


The Church of Spiritual Technology is staffed by Sea Org and is therefore a Sea Org Org.


The Church of Spiritual Technology owns all of the patents for the Scientology e-meter.


The Church of Spiritual Technology last filed a form 990 in 2012. That document showed CST to have a book value of $447,192,921.




Why is CST not acting in the way CSI represented to the IRS in its 1023 application for religious tax exemption?


Did the Church of Scientology lie to the IRS in its 1023 application for religious tax exemption? Of course it did. Scientology lies whenever it opens its mouth.


The CST Special Directors are a legal fiction and nothing more. The CST Special Directors are simply well-paid human shields whose actual job is to protect David Miscavige from the consequences of his own actions, lies, perjuries, and countless felonies.


In its present form, CST is aiding and abetting the criminal kingpin of an organized criminal psychoterrorist cabal engaged in human trafficking; labor trafficking; the destruction of children and families; the avaricious and nonstop plundering of family and business finances; and the wanton destruction of everything else it touches.


The Scientology psychoterrorist cabal masquerades as a religion.



The Church of Scientology cannot have it both ways: The Church is either governed as it represented to the IRS, or, the Church of Scientology is the alter ego of David Miscavige.


If the Church of Scientology International (CSI) is governed as it represented to the IRS, then it governs itself and operates autonomously from RTC.


Therefore, CSI’s International Justice Chief should immediately declare David Miscavige an SP and order him off Church premises. Likewise, the IASA can terminate his membership in the IAS.



The fact is that both CST and CSI are legal fictions and alter egos of David Miscavige.


Based upon an alter ego finding, the IRS can revoke Scientology’s 1993 blanket 501(c)3 status.


The language to do so was put in place in the 1993 Final Agreement between the IRS and Scientology.


In the leaked Final Draft Closing Agreement between the IRS and the Church of Scientology, the IRS stated that the Church’s tax exemption could be reopened in the event of fraud, malfeasance, or misrepresentation of material fact:

Scientology is awash in fraud, malfeasance, and misrepresentation of material facts.


The failure of the CST Special Directors to move against David Miscavige proves Scientology’s 1023 was a fraud ab abinitio.

from what i've read, hasn't this been the pipe dream of ex members and indies for decades?

and i thought the understanding is that DM keeps a lid on it with undated letters of resignation, NDAs and payoffs, implicit threats of harassment like has happened to others, etc.

also, that language about CST sounds to me vague and that part doesn't include any enforcement mechanism. it seems to me any attempt to enforce it would result in extended litigation -- with anyone who tried, subject to harassment -- that could drag out for a very long time, perhaps even past the lifetimes of those involved. and the courts these days seem very hesitant to rule regarding anything that might be considered an internal 'religious' matter (in which case i would think RTC would be allowed to continue to use the intellectual property).

oh, and haven't past court cases and indies, set precedents that perhaps particularly because it's tinged with 'religion', the legal system can't intervene to prevent the use of LRH's 'scripture' by whoever wants to?
 
"it seems to me any attempt to enforce it would result in extended litigation"
This.

Enforcing is a pipe dream, IMO. Sorry.

AI: A "pipe dream" is an idiom referring to a hope, idea, or plan that is unrealistic or unlikely to happen. It's often used to describe a fantasy or a goal that is so ambitious or unrealistic as to be virtually unattainable. The term is thought to have originated from the hallucinatory effects of smoking opium pipes, where users would experience vivid and often impossible-sounding dreams.​

So many other vital issues demanding immediate attention today, no one in the corridors of power or law has the bandwidth or will to deal with this tiny, tiny, dying, almost dead "religion."
