David Miscavige's 501(c)(3) Tax-Exempt Smear Campaign Websites
Who Is David Miscavige? A Con-Man Taking Advantage of Scientology's Religious Recognition
This is part of our ongoing Scientology and Miscavige Website Legal Review Series, a breakdown of Church-operated platforms used to mislead the public, obscure liability, or retaliate against critics.
Unlike the other sites we’ve reviewed already, which at least pretend to be about religion, doctrine, or public outreach these aren’t even trying.
These are personal smear sites.
Each one is named after an individual.
Each one is built to attack, discredit, and destroy.
And every single one traces directly back to David Miscavige.
They serve no religious purpose. They exist to wage personal retaliation and they’re funded with tax-exempt dollars.
That’s not just unethical. Under federal law, it’s grounds for revocation of nonprofit status.
Let’s break it down.
Statute of Limitations?
“Aren’t those attacks old news?”
“Isn’t it all past the statute of limitations?”
“Do you even have proof you’re still being harassed?”
I hear it constantly from skeptics, from lawyers, even David Miscavige uses these claims. But our team see’s if different. Very very differently.
David Miscavige’s legal team doesn’t deny the harassment.
They just say it’s not his fault.
They argue:
The Church isn’t responsible
Miscavige had no direct involvement
The harassment is protected speech or religious expression
The statute of limitations has run out
And the plaintiffs can’t prove real harm or tie it directly back to them
Since when is 2025 not the present?
The abuses, for me, started way back and included beatings, being locked up, and witnessing first hand, the take down and destruction of a corporate structure and Board of Directors that left only one man standing.
And guess what - it never stopped! To this day the same system, the same abuses and same man is still running with it. He evolved. He moved online.
It’s still active now like it was yesteryear.
There is no statute of limitations on ongoing abuses!
501(c)(3) Dollars for Hate Sites
There are current, live, high-budget hate websites targeting critics like me. At least 11 of them. They went up when we complained. They stayed up and are active today. And, thanks to Miscavige, the past, the present and the future are all relevant right now.
These websites that exist for one reason: personal revenge and defamation to protect David Miscavige’s personal interests.
They all trace straight to David Miscavige.
These sites aren’t about faith. They aren’t about L. Ron Hubbard or religious services.
They are about anyone Miscavige considers a threat to himself.
In my case, it’s my name he is using in the URL. My [modified] image on the homepage. My ex-wife made up perfectly under studio lighting, telling lies for David. My own sister repeating what she was told to say to avoid another six years in the RPF.
David even features a “police report” containing information in a minor (less than a year told) and twists it with headlines and photos to make it look like I ight have been arrested or done something illegal. When in fact I was recusing my daughter Ellie from a dangerous drug scene and she’s been with me since.
How low will Miscavige go? That low. To bring minors, a baby in fact into his world.
Because that’s what he does. That’s who he is.
But it’s not just me.
One website for each loud defector.
The ones who really get under his skin.
The ones he can’t control.
The ones he can’t buy off.
Respect to those guys.
Being “Bought Off”
If I was offered six million dollars (I believe this is the amount Debbie Cook received) to shut up and walk away from all this?
Yeah. I’d think about Ellie. My age. Her future.
It’d be tempting. I gave forty years to Scientology and walked away with nothing. So I think, yeah why the hell not!?
Six million dollars would mean stability. A future for my daughter. A kind of peace I never had.
I could rest easy knowing she was set for life. And I could finally enjoy being free rather than running to catch up after throwing 30 years not building a nest egg or retirement fund.
But here’s the problem.
Two of them, actually.
One: I won’t be bought.
Not for six million. Not for six billion. “Not for one thin dime.” — that is a quote from Heber Carl Jentzsch, whom Miscavige physically beat and make disappear because Heber got more applause for saying it than he did.
Two: Miscavige knows I wont bought. And that if he ever tried, I’d tell the world about it before the check cleared.
I get it, Marty. Debbie. Angie Blankenship.
They had to think of themselves. Their families. They were under pressure.
But what a strange way to live.
Free, wealthy, and still under Miscavige’s thumb? Makes me shiver to think of it.
That’s like inviting your family to join you in “The Hole” to live out the rest of their lives!
Personally, I’d rather be here in the trenches with the rest of us.
And no hard feelings. I still respect you.
Not really. But it doesn’t matter.
Here’s what does matter:
David Miscavige now has a “Finance Your Buy-Off” program!
Instead of a lump sum, he now offers monthly payments.
Installment NDAs! Brilliant, really. A signature Miscavige move.
Keeps the leash tighter. Keeps the pressure on. Much better control. He basically own’s you now.
Sidebar: Angie, You Still Have a Choice
I knew Angie Blankenship well. She was my Deputy for years in Clearwater.
We were close.
I held her hand and stayed up all night with her and Hospice when her mother, an OT VIII “Cause Over Life”, let her lungs fill with water until she could not longer breath.
When Angie arrived at the Int/Gold Base to take over my role under Miscavige, I warned her directly.
“You’re following in my exact footsteps,” I told her. “Watch out.”
She didn’t listen.
She’s still under his influence. Still protecting him. Still trying to live with herself in that world.
That has to be hard.
But Angie, here’s the part they don’t want you to know.
You could walk into the FBI office in Tampa today and tell them the truth.
You could report your firsthand knowledge of:
Human trafficking
Forced labor
Physical abuse
Financial fraud
Obstruction of justice
Witness intimidation
And guess what?
Your NDA wouldn’t matter.
Because when crimes are involved especially violations of federal law you are protected.
Federal whistleblower laws and the Defend Trade Secrets Act (18 U.S. Code § 1833) make it clear:
No nondisclosure agreement can prevent you from reporting suspected criminal activity to law enforcement, an attorney, or a court.
I know the pain Angie is experiencing. No, I’m not imagining it. She’s said so.
She despises Miscavige for his crimes just as much as I do. Today. Right now.
The Glossy, High-Budget Smear Network Operated by David Miscavige
Let me get back on point now.
There’s a series of websites known as the “WhoIs” sites.
At the bottom of every one of those sites, buried under videos, doctored photos, and defamation, is the same legal fingerprint.
And those fingerprints belong to David Miscavige.
If you look at all our previous Scientology and Miscavige website reviews, you’ll notice something:
Every single one is plastered with David Miscavige. The “Ecclesiastical Leader” or “Chairman of the Board” or both.
Not one, anywhere, mentions anyone else. No board members, no Executive Director International, no management structure. No one else matters. Or they don’t exist!
Just Dave.
And they let him get away with claims he’s not running the day to day affairs?
Makes you wonder who is turning a blind eye and why.
It’s his own confession and evidence.
Here’s the List of Smear Site run by Miscavige
Each one follows the same formula:
Slick video editing
Out-of-context quotes
Distorted personal history
Character assassination disguised as “truth”
They’re designed to look independent.
Like rogue fact-checkers.
They’re not.
The Footnotes
At the bottom of each site are these links:
https://www.scientology.org/terms.html
https://www.scientology.org/privacy.html
These aren’t generic legal pages.
They’re digital fingerprints.
By using the Church’s official Terms of Use and Privacy Policy, these sites are legally governed and administered by CSI the Church of Scientology International which is controlled by one man: David Miscavige.
As their own disclaimer admits:
“This website is operated and administered by CSI... and therefore complies with the applicable laws.”
That means no more plausible deniability.
These are not fan sites.
These websites are:
David Miscavige–property
David Miscavige–funded
David Miscavige–governed
David Miscavige–operated
All under the Church’s protection as a tax-exempt religion.
And they are being used, actively, to defame, discredit, and destroy individual people.
These Sites Violate Federal Law
Under IRS regulations for 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organizations, churches are strictly prohibited from:
Conferring private benefit to individuals
Engaging in personal retaliation or character attacks
Using donated funds for non-charitable, non-religious purposes
Participating in conduct inconsistent with their stated exempt purpose
These sites have nothing to do with religious doctrine.
They are not spiritual. They are not ecclesiastical. They are digital hit jobs and they are illegal.
This is not a gray area.
It is a misappropriation of charitable resources.
And it qualifies as abuse of nonprofit status under federal law.
The IRS has revoked the status of other organizations for far less.
Production Value Doesn’t Lie
These aren’t amateur blogs.
They’re not filmed in someone’s garage.
These sites are:
Professionally lit
Shot with multiple cameras
Scripted
Studio-edited
Uniform in tone, look, and content
This is coordinated media production at scale.
Wardrobe. Makeup. Sound mixing. Color grading. Voiceover talent. Script writers.
None of that is cheap.
None of that is rogue.
This is centrally managed, centrally funded, and centrally directed.
Why? Because its created content under the “Fair Game” act that as far as Miscavige and his actors are concerned justify lying and claiming things that never happened.
How can I say this so certainly. I was there. I might have done it myself before I found out who is David Miscavige.
And he used Golden Era Productions to produce a lot of the content. Like these videos have religious content.
That’s misappropriation.
That’s an abuse of nonprofit status.
That’s fraud.
Why This Matters
When the past follows you into the present and wont let go that’s called “ongoing” and there is no statute of limitations on ongoing abuses.
If David Miscavige used Scientology to produce and post multiple smear websites to discredit and attempt to ruin lives of defectors, is it actionable by law?
Yes and here’s why:
Defamation: If the websites contain false statements presented as fact that harm the reputations of the defectors, this could constitute defamation (libel). The defectors could potentially file a lawsuit against David Miscavige for damages, particularly since the statements are demonstrably false and cause harm to our reputations.
Harassment: Miscavige has faced numerous accusations of engaging in harassment tactics against critics and former members, including stalking, surveillance, intimidation, and spreading false information. Creating and posting websites to disseminate false and damaging information about defectors can be considered part of a coordinated harassment campaign, as alleged in the case of Leah Remini.
Misuse of Tax-Exempt Status: Tax-exempt organizations, such as Scientology, are prohibited by the IRS from engaging in political campaign activity, which includes endorsing or opposing candidates, or activities that unduly benefit private individuals. Using tax-exempt funds to create and distribute websites aimed at discrediting individuals might be viewed by the IRS as a violation of this prohibition, potentially jeopardizing the organization's tax-exempt status or incurring excise taxes.
Allegations and Lawsuits: David Miscavige, as the leader of Scientology, has faced numerous lawsuits alleging his involvement in abuse, human trafficking, forced labor, and harassment of defectors. These websites are evidence of his continued abuses.
Controlling Operations: Miscavige can be found to be operating and exercising complete control over the organization's actions, including the creation and posting of these websites, and should held be legally responsible for those actions. These and all other Scientology operated websites and corporate documents prove David Miscavige solely controls Scientology.
You Can Run, But You Cannot Hide
Serving Miscavige with legal documents has proven challenging, as he evaded service in the past, a tactic aimed at delaying lawsuits and potentially costing the plaintiffs time and money.
There are reasons he is hiding himself.
Because he knows he should be in prison on multiple criminal counts.
That he is hiding is an admission of guilt, publicly.
He can only hide himself.
Not his crimes.
The law is catching up with you, Davie boy.
Everything you are doing, saying and using is just another admission, another piece of evidence, piling higher and higher, against you.
Your own best friend L. Ron Hubbard stated that, “A criminal wants to be caught and will always leave a trace of evidence behind in hopes that he will soon be stoped.” (aka Locard's Exchange Principle)
Authorities are starting to take notice. Of you.
It’s not about Scientology anymore. Dave.
It’s about the criminal who controls everything Scientology related for personal gain and benefit. And to ruin other people’s lives who threaten your illegal racket.
You, Sir, are an individual.
And you are being flushed out.
Support This Operation
We have a lot underway. We can use more help. If you want to contribute in other ways, please contact me. Otherwise, monetary support helps, too.
I was asked to provide another means for contributions that through subscriptions. Here it is.
PayPal: indictdminitiative@pm.me.
(Mark as “Friends & Family” if possible to avoid fees)
I am working on the Indict David Miscavige website as fast as I can while trying to keep up with everything else. Please forgive me for the delay!
There’s no question about it:
If Scientology lost its 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status, the entire operation would begin to crumble.
And David Miscavige knows it.
That’s why the Church of Scientology clings to its IRS recognition like a lifeline—brazenly misrepresenting it as government validation of their “religion.”
Nonsense.
The IRS doesn’t define what is or isn’t a religion. They’re accountants, not theologians. They qualify entities for tax exemption based on legal and financial compliance—not divine endorsement.
And yet, Scientology continues to wield that exemption like a holy sword. Not to serve the public. Not to practice faith.
But to fund personal revenge campaigns.
The Smear Network Built With Tax-Exempt Dollars
David Miscavige didn’t just centralize power within Scientology. He digitized retaliation.
A web of high-budget “WhoIs” smear sites now targets defectors and critics—each one designed to destroy individual lives.
Not criticize beliefs. Not defend doctrine.
Destroy.
These sites don’t hide their targets. They name them in the URLs:
And all of it paid for with funds protected by U.S. tax law.
These aren’t ministries or outreach initiatives.
They are defamation machines, operating under the banner of religious exemption.
A Legal and Ethical Disaster
Under federal law, 501(c)(3) organizations are strictly prohibited from:
Conferring private benefits
Funding personal retaliation
Misusing charitable assets for non-religious purposes
Engaging in conduct inconsistent with their tax-exempt mission
These smear sites violate all of that.
They are coordinated attacks, created and maintained with church resources, for the sole purpose of retaliating against whistleblowers. That’s not just unethical—it’s illegal.
Let’s be clear:
This is fraud.
And the IRS has stripped tax-exempt status from organizations for far less.
Digital Hit Jobs in the Name of Religion?
These sites are not amateur blogs whipped up by angry parishioners.
They are:
Professionally filmed
Scripted, edited, color-graded
Loaded with custom video, wardrobe, lighting, and sound mixing
Published and hosted using the Church’s legal infrastructure
How do we know?
Every site links back to the official scientology.org domain via their privacy and terms pages. That’s not just branding—that’s a legal fingerprint.
Their own disclaimers admit:
“This website is operated and administered by CSI [Church of Scientology International]…”
So much for plausible deniability. These are not rogue productions.
They’re institutional.
They’re funded.
And they’re governed by David Miscavige himself.
“But Isn’t That All Old News?”
No. It’s not.
The harassment is ongoing.
Just because some attacks started years ago doesn’t mean they’ve stopped.
Websites are still up.
Still funded.
Still damaging lives.
This isn’t the past. It’s the present tense of Scientology’s abuse.
And when abuse is ongoing, there is no statute of limitations.
Buyouts, Blackmail & Blood Money
David Miscavige doesn’t just silence critics with lies. He offers payoffs.
Big ones.
Think: Debbie Cook–level big.
And if the lump sums don’t work? He’s moved to monthly “hush payments”—NDA installments designed to keep former executives on a tight leash.
He doesn’t just buy silence.
He rents loyalty.
It’s a brilliant tactic, really. One worthy of a mob boss, not a church leader.
And some—out of fear, pressure, or financial desperation—have taken the deal.
of lawsuits and questionable claims.
Need proof of how meaningless 501C3 can be can be
The People’s Temple (Jim Jones—yes, that one) was once tax-exempt.
So are dozens of white nationalist and hate groups still today.
Tax-exempt status isn’t a halo. It’s a loophole.
And right now, David Miscavige is exploiting it to run a hate factory in plain sight.
Who Can Fix This?
Only three people on Earth have the power to revoke Scientology’s tax-exempt status:
Secretary of the Treasury
IRS Commissioner
IRS Commissioner for Exempt Organizations
They don’t need a new law. They don’t need an act of Congress.
They just need to do their jobs.
The evidence is public.
The abuse is documented.
And the victims are still suffering.
It’s time.
David Miscavige, your smear machine is your confession. Your tax exemption is your liability. And your crimes are catching up with you.
O come, all ye faithful, fearful and defrauded,
O come ye, O come ye to Fort Harrison!
Come, and behold Him, crowned the King of Real Estate!
O come, let us adore Him;
O come, let us adore Him;
O come, let us adore Him, Dave our Landlord!
