Civilizations, like organisms, are born, mature, and ultimately, die, and their descendants repeat the same cycle. Some have argued that the West ultimately died with the Wolf Father, whose howling and biting assault against decadence ultimately failed to reinvigorate the warrior spirit in his pack. Today, his cubs have been neutered and domesticated, and where they once hunted the cowardly sheep, they now guard the flock, becoming a cornerstone defender of the same farm they once fought so fiercely to destroy. The victory of the Demiurge over Truth has once again allowed a shroud of illusion to smother the West, and the cult of Progress feels emboldened. Surely, if all civilizations are destined to die, why lash out against the inevitable, why not die in dignified silence, content to have lived a long and fruitful life? His enigmatic final words, if you believe them, bounce around the mind, because they are simultaneously extremely specific and hopelessly vague. Personally, it&#8217;s an anecdote I have spent too much time thinking about over the years, and in this essay, I hope to put some of those thoughts to text, because I find that typing them, however bizarre or incoherent the result, often helps me to understand myself, my opinions, and my actions better. Who is &#8220;the coming man,&#8221; and why should we fight in the name of some vague, Messianic figure?</p><p>First off, many of our brothers and sisters have decided that we deserve collective death, as punishment for our past sins. The Demiurge, and the vile egregore Progress, feast on this mass death-drive, because they are aware that our civilization is uniquely capable of countering their false reality. They hypno-indoctrinate us as children into the cult of Progress, where we are taught to engage in constant self-flagellation, ritualistic self-denouncement, and to believe our heroes are villains and our enemies are friends. It is extremely easy to give up hope, and for their schemes to succeed, we must acquiesce, roll over, and die. We are told that we must allow our triumphs to fade into the ash heap of history, and allow the cycle to continue unimpeded. However, the Father Wolf&#8217;s heroic resistance demonstrates that mere surrender is not the only path. The honorable struggle against the wheel of time, a bold rejection of fate itself, is the kind of quixotic quest that our civilization has demonstrated a knack for somehow succeeding in, and we do not fight alone. &#8220;The coming man&#8221; will not be a religious figure in the traditional sense. Rather, he will be another man against time, like the Father Wolf, who, fueled by the collective unconscious of a dying West, will begin a titanic struggle against the enemy. It will be Ragnorak, and we will either emerge victors or finally die out. I am one hundred percent certain that this will happen, though, if you put a gun to my head, I doubt I&#8217;d be able to say why, beyond the fact that it just feels correct. However, knowing the truth is often a double-edged sword, especially when it comes to matters of destiny. It would be easy to place all my faith in this miraculous comeback, and if I did, I would risk falling into another trap, &#8220;Starving Peasant Mindset.&#8221;</p><p>As I&#8217;m sure my readers are aware, late medieval and early modern Europe was ravaged by many wars of religion, and this cycle of devastation led to a bizarre conspiracy theory forming. A text, &#8220;Fama Fraternitatis Rosae Crucis,&#8221; began to circulate in occult circles, which claimed a secret society of Christian mystics was preparing to essentially take control, end the violence, and create a new golden age. As rumors of these Rosicrusians spread, many began to place their hope in these esoteric wise men, convinced that their takeover would end the chaos. This is what I call &#8220;Starving Peasant Mindset,&#8221; a coping mechanism that has repeatedly flared up throughout history. In a modern context, this is QAnon, the belief that some select group of secretly good elites will take control, end the misery, and save the common man. From the serfs of Russia to the slaves of Rome, we see this pattern repeat, again and again. The Tsar is on our side, we only need a word with him! The persecution will end, we just need our savior! Today, this has become the dominant strain of thought in certain segments of the online right, who genuinely believe that random bureaucrats and politicians are deep-cover radicals sending secret signals that, if interpreted correctly, prove their devotion to <em>our </em>values. The &#8220;Starving Peasant Mindset&#8221; is a coping mechanism for those who believe they have no agency. Votes don&#8217;t matter, actions don&#8217;t matter, networks, organizations, and plans are irrelevant, and all one can do is place blind hope in these modern Rosicrusians to save us. Questioning this narrative is the equivalent of heresy, and deserves ostracization because the faithful cannot be tainted by the wicked lies and barbed tongue of a nonbeliever.</p><p>So, why is my unquestioning belief in some mystical, perhaps Messianic figure different from that of the modern spiritual peasant? I&#8217;d argue it&#8217;s my actions won&#8217;t change if I am incorrect. In other words, whether or not I am correct, I will march to the same beat, toward the same destination. To use a religious example, some will argue that, regardless of the actual validity of X or Y faith, merely practicing said faith still leads to a better, more moral life. Similarly, hoping for the best, or in my case, wholeheartedly believing that &#8220;the coming man&#8221; will arrive, doesn&#8217;t remove any responsibility on my end. I am still a man and a human being who has a soul and agency. I must dedicate my life to the cause. I have no alternative. I believe this will ultimately lead to success, but let&#8217;s say I&#8217;m wrong, which is unfortunately a semi-common occurrence. Let&#8217;s pretend I fried my brain with esoteric nonsense, and there truly is no hope. Who cares? I can die with the knowledge that I did my best for the cause, that I did what I could to preserve my civilization, and that I was a lifelong enemy of the Demiurge and the vile egregore Progress. This is the definition of greatness that Spengler describes in the legendary and endlessly-quotable <em>Man and Technics,</em> standing without hope or escape because of a sense of duty. &#8220;The honorable end is the one thing that cannot be taken from a man,&#8221; so true, Mr. Spengler, so true! If I&#8217;m right, we win, and if I&#8217;m wrong, I&#8217;m still doing my part. The issue with &#8220;Starving Peasant Mindset&#8221; is that it encourages one to self-censor criticism, moderate certain beliefs, or even reject reality. </p><p>There are additional techniques one can use to escape the &#8220;Starving Peasant Mindset.&#8221; First, immediately question, and if necessary, stop following any would-be priests of this creed of losers. For example, if you are an American like me who is sometimes upset with the actions of Trump, you've experienced this phenomenon firsthand. You post some criticism on the timeline, and no surprise, some internet crusader attacks you with hyperbolic nonsense about the imaginary punishments that his Inquisition will inflict on you. You&#8217;ll be raped, thrown into a woodchipped, melted down into soap, and ultimately, trapped in a crystal, all for daring to challenge the cult. This kind of low-IQ cultic worship is, incidentally, the same behavior our enemies engage in. Sure, our right-wing peasants don&#8217;t worship Progress, but the ineffectual egregore they are constructing is hardly a significant improvement. Part of the prerequisite to joining our niche scene is a willingness to challenge the conventional narrative and look through the veil of ignorance to see the truth. Deciding to essentially surrender some of one&#8217;s agency as a free-thinker is breaking free from one cult of learned helplessness and entering another. I shouldn&#8217;t need to provide examples, because we&#8217;ve all witnessed this cycle on the timeline, but rest assured, if you start to fall into this mental trap, you need to avoid sinking deeper. You don&#8217;t need to be a constant contrarian, by all means, celebrate the victories, but don&#8217;t rest on your laurels and assume that something as pointless as &#8220;democracy&#8221; can save us. No politician with any degree of power is perfect, and most would, if it were necessary, side with our enemies before allowing us a seat at the table.</p><p>Let&#8217;s say you are, instead, someone prone to mystical thinking, easily convinced by esotericism, and always searching for a prophecy to follow. You believe that the Wolf Father was, on some level, privy to a truth beyond his years as a man against time, you accept that our political struggle is also a spiritual battle, and thus, you are totally and completely convinced that &#8220;the coming man&#8221; will save us. You can almost taste it, right? You can taste the smoke in the air, see the rallies, and smell the sweat of a people united and marching in the hot sun, it&#8217;s intoxicating, isn&#8217;t it? I know, I feel the call towards daydreams too, towards escaping our brutal reality and skipping Ragnarok, so I can dream of the beautiful ending, with appropriately sappy music playing as I hug my gorgeous wife in front of our many children and grandchildren, drenched in cheesy sepia-toned wholesomeness. The signs all indicate this, the time is rapidly approaching for &#8220;the coming man,&#8221; and whether he crowns himself Ceasar by force, the will of the masses, or sheer &#8220;luck,&#8221; his glorious reign will signal a Western rebirth, so why not indulge in a little escapism, right? The issue with constantly fantasizing about the impending <em>palingenesis</em> is that it doesn&#8217;t help bring it into being. Savitri Devi, in <em>The Lightning and the Sun</em>, devotes a considerable amount of time to the Wolf Father, as a man against time. However, she also focuses on other archetypes, including the &#8220;man above time.&#8221; This figure possesses a similar timeless, esoteric quality, but prefers to preach, meditate, and philosophize, not lead armies or civilizations. These men are hugely important, I don&#8217;t want to denigrate many of history&#8217;s greatest minds, but right now, we don&#8217;t need more gurus, we need leaders.  Attempting to escape this age through purely spiritual means might work for the individual, but we have a civilization to save! If you find yourself constantly thinking about what you&#8217;ll do &#8220;after we win,&#8221; remind yourself that &#8220;the coming man&#8221; might not even be within our lifetimes! Time may be cyclical, but it is also slow, civilizations rarely die quickly, and a resurrection might take longer than you or I would like.</p><p>Final tip, remember that, while I am certain some kind of resurrection will occur, we will still need to win the battle afterward! Ragnarok is hardly a guaranteed success, right? Our collective subconscious, manifested in one glorious leader, might not be enough to defeat the Demiurge. Progress might be bleeding at the moment, but it is an egregore fueled by the hatred of Beauty, Tradition, and Truth that has existed for far longer than any one civilization. This is not some mere political idealogy, but the shared resentment of billions of souls, and that is a powerful force to fight.<em> As an aside, if you don&#8217;t like this kind of language, treat what I&#8217;m saying as a metaphor, especially if you&#8217;re starting to worry I sound like a lunatic</em>. To borrow a tired cliche, we are at the height of the republican decadence of Rome, and while Caesar succeeded in saving them, there is no surefire way to prove we will be as fortunate. We could very well lose the war, but I am confident there <em>will be a war </em>because I believe the West won&#8217;t be content to die out slowly. We will be backed into a corner, and we will either fight our way out or die trying, in one way or another. This is yet another reason why remaining complacent and merely hoping that &#8220;the coming man&#8221; will save us is foolish. No matter how good the leader, the followers need to be capable, competent people, right? Modern communists, a group somehow more drenched in delusional ambition than us, often fail here. They assume &#8220;the revolution&#8221; (essentially their mythical equivalent to &#8220;the coming man&#8221;) will happen, somehow, and then utopia will be born. This has led Western communists to become a fractured, self-hating group of purity-spiraling, irrelevant dreamers because they have surrendered their agency to some vague dream of victory. Sound familiar? Of course, we have a major advantage, because we march under the banners of Beauty, Tradition, and Truth, while they have become a minor splinter faction from the broader cult of Progress, but that doesn&#8217;t mean we can&#8217;t learn from them.</p><p>When the Father Wolf and his cubs set out to destroy Progress, they did so with the kind of fanatical conviction that has become legendary. They fought like cornered tigers, and though they lost, their sacrifice was not in vain! They were thoroughbreds, they gave their lives in service to our civilization, and unfortunately, their defeat only reinforced their initial argument. The cliche &#8220;I&#8217;m storming Omaha Beach for <em>[insert insane modern degeneracy here</em>]!&#8221; has become so stale that I believe even J.D. Vance managed to repeat it, but that doesn&#8217;t mean it isn&#8217;t true. Many great men realized too late that the Father Wolf&#8217;s howling wasn&#8217;t some exercise in pointless bravado, but rather, the pleading of a prophet begging for assistance in stopping a great evil. His defeat, and the posthumous slander he has endured, is what has allowed the Demiurge and Progress to thrive, because they, in their eternal ignorance, believe he was the last man against time. Those entities are genuinely convinced that they&#8217;ve already won Ragnarok, and as they dance on the ashes, they fail to see how, slowly, greater and greater numbers are escaping the hypno-indoctrination protocols. They aggressively imposed their cult on the West because they assumed that the Father Wolf was some one-off, an avatar of the popular anger that characterized the Wolf Age, and they believe that we are now too few, too weak, and too demoralized to act. Their arrogant ignorance will be their undoing if we make our choices wisely. &#8220;The coming man&#8221; will arrive, and when he does, we must be ready to act, if we want the West, the greatest civilization in the history of our species, to survive. If we want our descendants to resemble us, honor our legacy, and carry the flame forward, we must break the cycle of time. The Father Wolf had too few cubs, and too many sheep around him, who bled needlessly because they believed lies. Next time, we can not allow ourselves to become sheep. If we do, we will die out, and we will watch as our accomplishments crumble to dust in the possession of newer, foreign civilizations, who will treat us like some historical anomaly, a curious civilization that allowed itself to die instead of fighting back.</p><p><em>Now, for some housekeeping. First, if you&#8217;ve subscribed to read my O9A coverage, this is not that. Part of my attempt to motivate myself involves writing about both the O9A and more fun, personal topics. I don&#8217;t want to get burnt out on writing, and unfortunately, forcing myself to solely read and write about Niner stuff will inevitably lead to that, so thanks for enduring another self-indulgent personal essay! My next article will be on James Mason and SIEGE because I&#8217;ve decided he requires a deep dive before I cover the AWD. Part of the reason I&#8217;ve been slow about publishing that article is the fact that, honestly, I dislike his writing style. He&#8217;s certainly better than Sutter, but that&#8217;s such a low bar that it&#8217;s almost pointless to mention. As a result, it will be another &#8220;Bonus Article,&#8221; because Mason, while being many, many strange and absurd things, is not a Niner. Mason has made several choices that have seemingly slowly eroded his support within the broader far-right accelerationist underground, but SIEGE remains a pivotal text to understanding the AWD, and perhaps more importantly for our dive into the O9A, for understanding how the AWD was such fertile ground for sinister infiltration, federal investigation, and political fearmongering. A rough draft where I attempted to combine the SIEGE and AWD articles into one was getting too cumbersome, and I&#8217;m well aware that, for the sake of my readers, I ought to go against my every natural impulse and write shorter articles.</em></p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Spiritual Love is Wine and Perfume: Disjointed Rambling]]></title><description><![CDATA[I told myself I'd write more this year, and that includes finishing some of my less-academic pieces that languished, half-written, in my notes.

I am a cologne collector, a fragrance fanatic, and a perfume appreciator. I like to pair scents I own with certain moods and outfits and love the smell of a great perfume on a woman. Too often, I feel many on the right seem to reject these man-made scents in favor of shilling one&#8217;s natural musk, but this just doesn&#8217;t match my worldview. I don&#8217;t walk around with an unkempt beard, I alter my body&#8217;s appearance through grooming, exercise, and bathing, so why shouldn&#8217;t I do the same with scent? Most of us are intimately aware of how we present ourselves to other&#8217;s eyes and aim for a certain aesthetic, but are unwilling to apply this approach to our scent. The way you smell adds to your image, I can wear Replica Jazz Club, Dylan Blue, and JPG Le Male and present three totally separate vibes. Of course, the author of the Gospel of Phillip didn&#8217;t intend his message to be an advertisement for cologne, but in the spirit of the ancient Gnostics, I am reading additional meaning into a verse and attempting to apply it to my life. I&#8217;ll give you a fair warning and say that this little essay goes wildly off course, so the &#8220;disjointed rambling&#8221; subtitle is accurate.</p><p>But what did this ancient text actually intend to get across? Fragrances, like wine, often carry significant symbolic meaning in early Christian writings. Messiah literally means &#8220;anointed one,&#8221; and in the Book of John, one of the most pivotal moments is when Christ is anointed with a pint of pure nard by Mary Magdalene, who takes on special significance in the Gospel of Phillip. This text also places special emphasis on the bridechamber metaphor, common in the broader Judeo-Christian canon, that essentially describes the relationship of man and God as being as intimate as that between newlyweds. Similar ideas are especially common in the legendary Song of Songs, a deeply esoteric text that is often misunderstood and rarely studied by the common Christian. I understand that many Sufi texts take a similar approach, applying romantic, passionate imagery to the relationship of a believer and God, and certain later Christian texts, particularly those written by women, again follow this tradition. Love, like fragrance, can take many forms, but it is often most pure in the kind of carnal entanglement that can only exist between deeply-devoted lovers. Here, scent plays a part, and often, the loss of inhibition thanks to alcohol contributes to the effect as well. This isn&#8217;t limited to the Abrahamic faiths either, I could of course supply examples from both pre-Christian European paganism and Hinduism, but this is all just context.</p><p>Spiritual love, between man and God, is wine and perfume. The Gospel of Phillip adds that, when the unanointed are around the anointed, they also enjoy the love, but when the anointed leave, &#8220;those unanointed, who are hanging around, remain in their bad odor.&#8221; Similarly, when Christ turns the water into wine at the wedding, all get to enjoy the results, but when he leaves, this apparently-unlimited supply of top notch wine doesn&#8217;t just flow forever. One can experience the afterglow of spiritual love as a neutral observer, but without faith, one can only experience it in this kind of fleeting, ethereal way. When we fragrance snobs talk about scents, we often reference the &#8220;scent trail,&#8221; that lingering scent that remains for a bit when we liberally coat ourselves in expensive smells, and according to the author of Phillip, faith is the same. This intimate union is the fusion of eternal, divine power, and human, mortal weakness, and while others can experience the residual effects, only the truly faithful know the feeling. Here, the text constantly uses sexual metaphors, explaining that only the married couple truly know when they have sex. &#8220;Let others yearn just to listen to [the bride&#8217;s] voice and enjoy her fragrant ointments, and let them feed on the crumbs falling from the table, like dogs.&#8221; Her true beauty, her pure, intimate love, is reserved only for the bridal chamber. Even friends and family, who are allowed some knowledge of the marriage, are still unable to truly know the depths, the ecstasies of romance, the purity, that only the couple know.</p><p>&#8220;In this world, power and weakness mingle when man and woman have sex.&#8221; The text clarifies &#8220;joining is different in the eternal realm,&#8221; but that we use the same terms to describe it. This is partially because there are no words to describe this kind of <em>numinous </em>love, and partially because it must be intentionally concealed. &#8220;As long as the intestines are hidden, a person is alive,&#8221; but when they are exposed, death soon follows. The hidden evil, the antithesis of this love, is ignorance, &#8220;the mother of all evil.&#8221; The &#8220;inferior godhead&#8221; lives hides ignorance, and when Christ reveals the truth, tearing the veil, it is destroyed. Was there ever a more perfect description of our current situation? We, the knowers of hidden truths, must tear the veil of ignorance and expose that vile egregore Progress to the light, where it &#8220;cannot mix with pure light and the perfect fullness.&#8221; Yet, simultaneously, we must jealously guard many of our own secrets, because they cannot be handed out like candy. Others may experience the afterglow, the scent, but the highest truths are hidden in the holiest of holies, the bridal chamber, where they can only be felt by the truly connected, the faithful elite. When something is exposed, it dies, so we must always shine the light of truth on the lies told by the enemy, while keeping our deepest truths locked away, shielded from the eyes of the masses.</p><p>These were the messages that ultimately doomed Gnosticism to censorship and obscurity. The Gnostics saw faith as many mysteries, only understood by the few. They believed that most may never find the truth, and at most, would smell the scent trail. They believed the deep, almost carnal love between a believer and God was too intimate and too holy to ever be exhibited publicly, for &#8220;if a marriage is open to the public, it becomes prostitution.&#8221; All too often, those of us who see through the delusions immediately attempt to zealously preach, desperately trying to convert all who will listen to our ways, but you can only bring a horse to water. The reality is that someone cannot truly wake up unless they dive into the mysteries themselves, and those who are led hand-in-hand through every step of the journey never grasp the whole truth. We should promote our ideas widely, but when it comes to the highest-level concepts, we must maintain some level of dignified secrecy. A spiritual elite is not elite if anyone with a passing interest is initiated, right? The quest for the Grail, the transformation of lead into gold, the deepest truths become worthless when a step-by-step guide is written. Conquering Mount Everest seems so empty today because it is an automated process, all the climber must do is a training program (written by another), buy the right gear (with a list, again written by another), and walk forward, with paid pathfinders and paid burden-bears. The reward, appropriately, is a mountain covered in trash, shit, and corpses.</p><p>When Valentinus was denied the Bishopric of Rome, Christianity entered a Faustian bargain, at least in my view. The faith stopped emulating European mystery cults and started to focus on mass conversion, prioritizing the slave caste over the spiritual aristocracy. Perhaps this was a smarter strategy, it certainly contributed to the enduring influence of the faith, but part of me will always wonder how it could have looked in another world. Imagine if faith required true effort, if salvation were not automatic, if there was no conception of some &#8220;universal Christian people&#8221; that superseded the importance of the nation, the people, the <em>volk.</em> It&#8217;s an intoxicating idea, but dwelling on counterfactuals is the kind of pointless exercise that I try to avoid. Still, I will never stop reading and rereading old Gnostic texts, because they contained many deep truths. When I spray on cologne, I often think of this quote, and that alone makes all the money spent on scented water worth it. When you&#8217;re able to connect simple pleasures to esoteric truths, life takes on a magical quality. When I drink wine and smell the sweet scent of vanilla in the hair of a beautiful woman, when I look into her eyes and see the spark of life, I feel like I am communing with some ancient fertility goddess. When she smiles and compliments my scent, I am overwhelmed, desperate to submit, give in to my inner beast, and join in the primordial dance of life, the ecstatic union of flesh. I am totally consumed, aching to experience the carnal pleasures that are apparently only an infinitesimally small replica of the pure nirvana that comes from connection with the Godhead.</p><p>There is a way to approach faith clinically. This is possible with all pursuits, one can easily break a fragrance down to molecules, scent notes, particular chemical combinations engineered to produce certain responses, but why would I? Why would I replace vibes with overly-technical descriptions? When I hike, I don&#8217;t spend my time thinking about the most efficient methods, I don&#8217;t read elaborate guides written by experts, I grab my gear and walk towards the peak. When I make love, I don&#8217;t follow some elaborate checklist, I do what the heart wishes and what the body enjoys. When I pray, I don&#8217;t engage in some exercise of rote memorization, I say what the soul feels. All too often, modern man is obsessed with removing mysticism from life, publicizing every solution to the perennial mysteries of life, and I reject this. If someone ever truly proves whether or not life exists after death, I will refuse to read the answer, because that is a mystery worth preserving, a Grail that I want to find myself. Until it is my time, I will continue to live life as a hopeless romantic, I will always allow space for my feelings to control me, and I will proudly chase the unattainable. Over optimization might make life easier, but removing all choice from the process makes climbing Mount Everest an exercise in preparation, not personal development. Like the universalization of faith, removing much of the personal discovery and mystery from life robs it of much of the intended meaning.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[O9A and

based on some surface-level observations. I was wrong, and because I believe in being honest and not doubling down on mistakes, I have removed that sentence (and added this, because I hate it when people edit something without making note of that fact.)</strong></p><p><em>IMPORTANT NOTE: If you are particularly squeamish, this might not be the article for you. Personally, I find the content of Iron Gates so poorly written, purposely edgy, and stupid that it doesn&#8217;t upset me, but I am aware that some of you might find this stuff rather repulsive. Tempel Ov Blood is linked to a great deal of fictional child abuse and was an influence on groups like 764, which brought some of this to life.</em></p><p>&#8220;At the opposite end of the corridor sat the commandant, her satanic body tense and sheathed in shining black, accentuating her lean muscled limbs and the overtly sexual yet intensely threatening curvatures punctuating the same.</p><p>Lines of black masked members of internal security armed to the teeth flanked her from behind and down the sides of the walls of the former holding cell. Between the support beams stood large steel cages of naked and screaming children, their cries echoing in futility as other children, robed in the fashion of the commandant&#8217;s cult recruiters in miniature strode slowly through their midst, carefully minding their quarry.&#8221;</p><p>-<em>Iron Gates, </em>Chapter 31, by Martinet Press.<em> This text became required reading for members of the Atomwaffen Division when Order of Nine Angles Satanists gained control of the organization in an internal coup that ultimately fractured the movement. As you might have realized, we are now getting into the &#8220;trashier&#8221; side of the O9A, and I&#8217;ll make sure to highlight some of the most egregiously cringey sections later, so you can see just how insane it is that this was promoted as some useful text for underground political dissidents.</em></p><p>Another week, another school shooting by another overly online, irony-poisoned teenager with connections to 764 and internet accelerationist circles. Like with the last one, factions of RW Twitter immediately began to try to blame this attack on their media market rivals, sinking low enough that they resorted to photoshopping images, using pictures of other people, and spreading &#8220;fake news&#8221; in an attempt to slander the &#8220;other side.&#8221; This just further proves that, as always, a decent percentage of the internet RW are more invested in Internet drama than accomplishing anything productive for our people, but it also serves as a nice transition towards the subjects of this piece, Joshua Caleb Sutter and the Tempel Ov Blood. If you have run into a Niner online or in a right-wing space, I can almost guarantee that they can trace at least some of their beliefs back to the Tempel Ov Blood, the most infamous Nexion in the American scene. This Nexion, founded by Joshua Caleb Sutter, is what infiltrated AWD, it&#8217;s the Nexion that most directly inspired 764, and it&#8217;s the Nexion that most directly promoted the works of James Mason. Sutter also operated Martinet Press, which specialized in publishing lovely literature like the above text, as well as various O9A, occult, and Satanic books. Sutter&#8217;s shadow looms large over the modern accelerationist right-wing underground, and his recently revealed status as an FBI informant has furthered some of the fractures in this already niche subset of the far-right. The story of his life is one filled with flirtations with various extremist groups, occult organizations, and ultimately, groups involved in the procurement and distribution of child sexual abuse material. If Anton Long/David Myatt, the subject of my last article, is the father of the O9A, Sutter is his most infamous American disciple, though I should note that he has been disavowed by the former. To quote the stunning prose of the all-important text <em>Iron Gates,</em> the story of Sutter and ToB is where &#8220;mental sanity [begins] to crack around the edges.&#8221;</p><div

Sutter</strong></em></p><p>Joshua Caleb Sutter has been involved in far-right circles for his entire life, starting in the early 2000s. He got his start in the Aryan Nations, an offshoot of the Christian Identity movement. Christian Identity is a subset of the British Israelite movement, which argues that the ten lost tribes of Israelites from the Old Testament are the genetic forebears of Western Europeans, especially the British. Yes, believe it or not, there is a white nationalist equivalent to the Black Hebrew Israelites. Adam and Eve were white, the Jews of today are bad and descended from Cain, and Europeans are God&#8217;s true &#8220;chosen people.&#8221; Groups like The Order tended to follow this belief system, and it used to be a larger part of the discourse in the American white nationalist underground, but today, Christian Identity tends to be the domain of older &#8220;wignats&#8221; like the remnants of the Ku Klux Klan, the Aryan Brotherhood, and similar organizations. Within the broader Christian Identity movement, Aryan Nations was the largest group, but following a series of lawsuits, the organization went bankrupt and fractured. The largest offshoot was led by August Kreis, perhaps most infamous for threatening to turn Jerry Springer&#8217;s mother into a lampshade during an episode of <em>The Jerry Springer Show</em> while he was a member of the KKK. Later, he joined Aryan Nations, and in 2005, he attempted to form an alliance with al-Qaeda, a goal that involves Sutter. Today, August Kreis is in prison, sentenced to fifty years in prison on one count of criminal sexual conduct involving a minor child and two counts of committing lewd acts on a child. One of the victims was allegedly a girl he was related to, who was younger than twelve. Kreis is not a Niner, but he was an early mentor for Sutter, who was &#8220;minister for Islamic liaison&#8221; in the Kreis faction of the Aryan Nations. He was also a preacher for the &#8220;Church of the Sons of Yaweh,&#8221; an obscure Christian Identity church.</p><p>It was in this early period of his life that Sutter first ran into issues with law enforcement, and as was later revealed in court documents, when he began his relationship with the FBI. After attempting to buy an untraceable Glock and silencer from an undercover agent, it seems he was flipped (<em>as an aside, please don&#8217;t buy sketchy and illegal guns, it&#8217;s Fed Tactic 101 to trap and flip extremists</em>). Sutter, who openly supported Saddam Hussein, al-Qaeda, and Iran in the early 2000s, obviously attracted federal attention, and his attempts to connect with said Islamic groups via &#8220;phone and Internet&#8221; probably only added to the case. Arrested in 2003, he was released in November of 2004, and soon founded a new organization, the &#8220;Rural People&#8217;s Party,&#8221; headquartered at his mobile home in South Carolina, which was renamed the &#8220;Central People&#8217;s Commune of the Rural People&#8217;s Party: Militant Juche Songun and Jim Jones thought Communism North America.&#8221; That&#8217;s right, Sutter was now an American ally of the DPRK, while  remaining involved in white nationalist groups like the Aryan Nations and League of the South. As early as 2005, some members of the white nationalist underground began to suspect that Sutter was an FBI informant, including another Sons of Yaweh preacher Morris Gulett. This was the same period where Sutter first began to advocate for an explicitly accelerationist political strategy, and I would speculate this is not a coincidence. Now starting to fall out of graces with the white nationalist scene, Sutter delved deeper into forming connections in the even more niche American Juche crowd, culminating in a formal alliance with another pro-DPRK group, the Songun Politics Study Group (USA) led by John Paul Cupp, who visited North Korea as an official guest of their government. Cupp led other groups, founding the North American Committee Against Zionism and Imperialism, and co-founding the European-American Socialist People&#8217;s Front. Both were, in effect, what we now tend to call National Bolshevism, or put more simply, nationalist communists that prioritize their race. However, like any story involving leftist-leaning white nationalists living together in a trailer park, white trash sexual shenanigans seem to have become an issue. John Paul Cupp fell in love with Jillian Hoy, aka &#8220;Comrade Morrison,&#8221; and after he got hospitalized for appendicitis, he became convinced that she poisoned him on behalf of Sutter, as she was secretly his girlfriend. Cupp eventually fell out of favor with North Korea because of his advocacy for white nationalism, and Sutter married Hoy, leading to another rebrand.</p><div

Communism North America, before it became the New Bihar Mandir Temple</figcaption></figure></div><p>Now, the mobile home became a Hindu temple, the &#8220;New Bihar Mandir Temple&#8221;, and the newlyweds adopted new titles. Sutter was &#8220;Shree Shree Kalki-Kalika Mandir&#8221; and Hoy was &#8220;Jayalalita Devi Dasi,&#8221; and they were a priest and priestess of Lord Kalki and Goddess Kali. Of course, Sutter cannot just adopt a conventional approach to faith, so he immediately began to back the Sri Lankan Tamil separatist movement Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, a major faction in the Sri Lankan civil war. Simultaneously, the couple remained involved in several religious organizations, as they maintained their admiration for Pentecostalism (thanks to Jim Jones) and various white nationalist movements. There is more drama, more falling outs, and more general schizophrenic ideological switches, but by now, I am sure you can see the pattern that is emerging, so I won&#8217;t make this article too repetitive. In 2014, Sutter founded Martinet Press, which published O9A texts, so I can conclusively say that his interest in Satanism began at least then. I have read some articles that allege he was already operating Tempel Ov Blood earlier, and while I wouldn&#8217;t be surprised by this, I am going to stick with what I can conclusively prove, for the sake of establishing a timeline. Martinet Press published a variety of texts, and aside from <em>Iron Gates</em>, they are perhaps best known for <em>Liber 333</em>, arguably the largest contribution by the Tempel Ov Blood to the broader O9A literary corpus. In <em>Liber 333</em>, Noctulians (their preferred term for a Niner) are advised, as always, to infiltrate and promote accelerationist terrorism within extremist groups, stating &#8220;organizations and forms with Sinister Aryanism&#8230;such as Christian Identity&#8221; make particularly juicy targets. Interesting, isn&#8217;t it? Eventually, Sutter began to network with some of the founding members of the Atomwaffen Division, and, perhaps because they didn&#8217;t know his past, they trusted that he was legitimately interested. His rather bizarre past was already out there online, but Sutter has a history of adopting new names, new usernames, and lying, so I suspect the extent of his involvement with various obscure political and occult groups wasn&#8217;t fully known.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!fbGn!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fcf70471c-c469-49cc-92da-2ac93c7e6121_849x1214.jpeg" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!fbGn!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fcf70471c-c469-49cc-92da-2ac93c7e6121_849x1214.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!fbGn!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fcf70471c-c469-49cc-92da-2ac93c7e6121_849x1214.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!fbGn!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fcf70471c-c469-49cc-92da-2ac93c7e6121_849x1214.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!fbGn!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fcf70471c-c469-49cc-92da-2ac93c7e6121_849x1214.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!fbGn!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fcf70471c-c469-49cc-92da-2ac93c7e6121_849x1214.jpeg" width="849" height="1214" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/cf70471c-c469-49cc-92da-2ac93c7e6121_849x1214.jpeg&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:1214,&quot;width&quot;:849,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:182172,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!fbGn!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fcf70471c-c469-49cc-92da-2ac93c7e6121_849x1214.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!fbGn!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fcf70471c-c469-49cc-92da-2ac93c7e6121_849x1214.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!fbGn!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fcf70471c-c469-49cc-92da-2ac93c7e6121_849x1214.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!fbGn!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fcf70471c-c469-49cc-92da-2ac93c7e6121_849x1214.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg role="img" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><title></title><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a><figcaption class="image-caption">A stunning work of art I found in the specific pdf of <em>Liber 333</em> I used.

What you need to know is that AWD was founded on a now-banned website called Iron March, which was essentially Stormfront for white nationalist accelerationists. Bringing together fedposters from across the globe, Iron March member Brandon Russell, aka &#8220;Odin,&#8221; founded the AWD in 2015. AWD saw James Mason&#8217;s SIEGE as an essential guide to a white nationalist victory, and posted heavily edited videos where they trained with firearms, shot Jewish flags, etc. Their signature aesthetic, created by a member who went by &#8220;Dark Foreigner,&#8221; is what I have been copying for the images for each article, and has since become something of a meme in Terrorgram/Siegeculture spaces. Long story short, a series of criminal convictions led to important founding members being imprisoned, which allowed Sutter to gradually exercise more and more control over AWD, culminating in a fracture as the non-Satanist crowd left AWD. Soon, texts like <em>Liber 333</em> and <em>Iron Gates</em> became required reading, so members more interested in National Socialism instead of general misanthropy felt boxed out, and as you will soon see, that&#8217;s not an unreasonable feeling. The eventual collapse of AWD led to a void in the extremely niche &#8220;militant National Socialist resistance group&#8221; market, but rest assured, many groups (that will also get future articles, especially the European offshoots, The Base, MKU, and 764, which I will delve into a little bit later) rose to fill this void, some returning to a more political inspiration, while others doubled-down on the Satanism. At this point, I think it&#8217;s important to note that even other Niners are split on ToB and Sutter, and this started well before he was revealed to be an FBI informant. Some argued that he represented a bastardized offshoot of the O9A, others disliked how he revived the emphasis on joining white nationalist groups, but no matter what, they were forced to admit that he was a big deal.</p><p>As the Atomwaffen Division went down in a storm of arrests, infighting, and deaths, Sutter began to become affiliated with a new group, named 764. While AWD focused primarily on promoting activities described in <em>SIEGE</em>, 764 concerned itself with promoting school shootings, cutting, and sextortion plots involving children found via Discord, Roblox, and Minecraft to procure and distribute child pornography. For AWD, National Socialism was the ultimate goal, and violence, crime, etc. were a method to achieve it but for 764, it seems that National Socialism is an aesthetic used to justify their ultimate goal, sadism, and criminal activity. This might sound like I am splitting hairs, but I think it shows a kind of devolution, an abandonment of any &#8220;higher&#8221; justification, which is replaced with embracing amorality for the sake of it. In 2022, Martinet Press seemed to close down, and Agony&#8217;s Point Press was launched soon after, which, as of this year, is promoting <em>Iron Gates </em>and other former Tempel Ov Blood publications. Agony&#8217;s Point Press also, funnily enough, competes with me on Substack, so I suppose you can get takes on this straight from the horse&#8217;s mouth if you wish. Is Agony&#8217;s Point Press another front company for Sutter? Sources both in the mainstream media and in the accelerationist underground allege that this is the case, so I believe that, barring any new evidence to the contrary it is safe to say that yes, Agony&#8217;s Point Press is Sutter under another new name. This publisher interviewed &#8220;Commander Butcher,&#8221; leader of the MKU (Maniac Murder Cult), an O9A Nexion located primarily in Russia and Ukraine. MKU claims to be allied with 764, whose members have been found to have tattoos and literature from the ToB. 764 is particularly notable for demanding members and victims carve &#8220;cutsigns&#8221; into themselves, a practice also seen in other O9A groups of the more explicitly destructive variety, as a way of proving loyalty. Both Samantha Rupnow and Solomon Henderson, recent school shooters, are alleged to be connected to 764. Again, we see the devolution of the ideology. The Atomwaffen Division may have ultimately been a detriment for pro-white causes, but there was at least some goal behind their actions. By the time we get to groups like 764, the racial component is gone, and the twin sins of pedophilia and general sadism seem to have become the new guiding light.</p><p>All of this information, when connected to Sutter&#8217;s status as an FBI informant, should further reinforce the idea that the government will spare no expense and abandon any pretensions of morality when trying to take down &#8220;far-right&#8221; organizations. I will reiterate this point again and again in this series, but it&#8217;s always worth remembering that the pro-white right wing is the biggest threat to state power, which is why it draws an inordinate amount of attention from the state. Over one-hundred-forty-thousand of your tax dollars have gone into the pocket of Joshua Caleb Sutter, as was demonstrated during the trial of Kaleb Cole, a former member of the Atomwaffen Division. Court documents revealed that an unnamed FBI confidential informant &#8220;worked as an informant for the FBI for approximately the past sixteen years&#8221; after he was arrested. The crime? &#8220;Possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number and an unregistered silencer,&#8221; that he attempted to purchase, and said CI investigated Atomwaffen Division while operating a &#8220;publishing company that distributes white supremacist writings.&#8221; I can only think of one person who matches that description, and it seems most agree. Let me make something clear, I don&#8217;t like to &#8220;fedjacket&#8221; every edgy guy in RW spaces, but this one is pretty obvious.</p><p><em>Important Take-Aways</em></p><p>Of course, if you&#8217;re one of my readers who isn&#8217;t interested in hardline National Socialism, underground accelerationism, or the kinds of occult religious ideas that Sutter is, you might wonder why this matters. After all, you would never associate with a figure like him, so his actions can&#8217;t harm you, right? Why should this story matter to the broader right-wing? I think the case of Sutter provides a few important lessons, because after all, this series isn&#8217;t just intended to summarize information from a bunch of different sources, I do have an actual goal, to examine and critique the O9A <em>from the right</em>. This isn&#8217;t just information written by a neutral observer, no, I am someone who has interacted with Niners, and because of the nature of my politics, I have to deal with the fallout of their actions. Thus, I believe that this bizarre saga of schizophrenic ideology switching, rumor-mongering, and covert government surveillance can teach us some valuable lessons. First, as I detailed in my second article, I believe that the O9A can be used to illustrate certain concepts in the study of religion, especially those designed to describe cults, or as they say today, &#8220;alternative religious movements.&#8221; In this case, we see how an already small belief system can further fracture, and in a decentralized audience cult, we see how a member can radically change aspects of the faith and gain a following. Second, the O9A are useful for understanding accelerationism more broadly, and because of their outsized influence within accelerationist circles, the O9A are an important group to know if you deal with the edgier fringes of the far-right. Third, as I will illustrate more in future articles, this entire series repeatedly shows how a small minority can completely take over and subsume a larger group to serve their particular ends, and how a combination of indoctrination and blackmail can compel people to do horrific things. But when dealing with Joshua Caleb Sutter, perhaps the most important lesson one can draw from this piece is that bad actors can and will try to weasel their way into our scene, and regardless of whether or not they are informants, cause major issues for any serious right-wing group.</p><p>Before we knew Sutter was a CI, he was &#8220;just&#8221; a Satanic Neo-Nazi who wrote edgy post-apocalyptic stories about child rape, with a documented past of being involved in Juche, radical Hindu, white nationalist, and Christian Identity circles. In other words, he was an extremist for extremisms sake, a drifter who floated around in underground political scenes, always advocating for bizarre beliefs and attempting to take a leadership role in whatever tiny organization he was part of. This is an archetype that many of us are familiar with, the kind of person who seems to adopt some new obscure right-wing ideology every year, and that kind of person can be a problem for any serious group. Someone who doesn&#8217;t seem to hold many concrete views likely sees politics as a game, a way to develop an identity, and such people are easily flipped by law enforcement. If someone can&#8217;t even iron out what they believe, what reason do we have to believe they are willing to take the fall if they ever face consequences for their alleged beliefs? In the case of Sutter, he was suspected of being a Fed for over a decade, yet time and again, he was able to join new groups, network further, and spread his ideology. This demonstrates serious issues with vetting, because he was not very subtle. The reality is, like it or not, our flavor of politics can attract plenty of bad actors. Even if he wasn&#8217;t a Fed, he still wouldn&#8217;t be someone I would want to associate with, and hopefully, you wouldn&#8217;t want to either. If I am as charitable as possible, I would describe him as a deeply misguided, directionless person, who wanted to feel like he was part of something underground, important, and meaningful. However, in the case of Sutter, I honestly don&#8217;t feel much pity. He has spent around two decades simultaneously ratting others out to the government and promoting some of the most schizophrenic and morally deviant ideas possible. His ideas have accomplished nothing productive, and have instead ruined the lives of both innocent children and his alleged far-right comrades, and yet, they endure, parasitically leeching off the far-right like maggots. Tempel Ov Blood, Martinet Press, and any other organization he was or is part of isn&#8217;t good, and while I doubt any of you readers are interested in joining after all of this, I want to further illustrate my point, so what you&#8217;re about to read are actual plot points in <em>Iron Gates</em>.  Everything in quotation marks is an actual quote, word for word and typo for typo.</p><ul><li><p>The field marshall uses the custom bayonet on his &#8220;AK-74 copycat model&#8221; to kill an infant in front of its mother. This leads to his men raping the mother and the dead baby.</p></li><li><p>An anorexic girl who is a member of the organization has anal sex with her officer because condoms don&#8217;t exist anymore and is rewarded with the promotion she wanted, a job at the &#8220;crown jewel of human rights abuse&#8221; aka the torture center.</p></li><li><p>During an autistic paragraph about their custom guns, you get this gem. &#8220;Some of the weapons had been given semi-official nicknames like &#8220;meat-grinder&#8221;, &#8220;blood mist&#8221; and &#8220;hacker&#8221; to intimate to those being so commissioned of the unparalleled capabilities of the weapon.&#8221;</p></li><li><p>&#8220;The black men in the organization received much favor from the commander, who considered them superior to many of the other racial strains.&#8221;</p></li><li><p>The anorexic girl drugs and rapes a ten-year-old boy.</p></li><li><p>&#8220;I hope i see something interesting out there, or lese you are going to geti t!&#8221;</p></li><li><p>Members of the organization eat a baby.</p></li><li><p>The author carefully describes how attractive a twelve-year-old girl looked in her fascist uniform.</p></li><li><p>The author carefully describes how a sixteen-year-old girl spanks said twelve-year-old girl.</p></li><li><p>A guy makes out with a severed head and decides he might keep it for &#8220;more and further intimate ministrations.&#8221; This is for some reason described as &#8220;still falling under the general autoeroticism header, albeit with a strong lacing of necrophilia.&#8221;</p></li><li><p>Stolen alcohol laced with extra drugs &#8220;provided a hardcore ending to a hardcore day of killing, maiming, raping, and sundry other activities&#8221;</p></li><li><p>An Indian member of the organization fondly recounts the time he molested and curb-stomped a black six or seven-year-old to death.</p></li><li><p>Teen boys are forced to sodomize one another.</p></li></ul><p>Does this sound like a literary masterpiece or an example of cutting-edge underground right-wing literature? This, more than <em>Liber 333, </em>more than anything Agony's Point is producing, is a testament to the character of Sutter. It's poorly-produced edgelord slop, and honestly, I wouldn&#8217;t be surprised if Sutter handed the addresses of everyone who bought a copy over to the FBI. Agony&#8217;s Point Press still exists, and the connections between it and Satanic Front, an allegedly-anti O9A, anti-AWD right-wing Satanic organization, prove that Sutter, like a cockroach, has continued to exist within the accelerationist underground. He is a known, documented informant for the FBI, yet still, some people are willing to work with him. He is a perennial flip-flopper, surrounding himself with other mentally ill people, and in the end, what good has he accomplished? As someone who wants to improve the situation for our people, I can&#8217;t stand these types. Time and time again, we see these unstable, power-hungry schemers try to join an existing movement, and while their motivations vary, the results are always the same. Infighting, doxing, subversion, and arrests often follow. I am now going to say some very risky things, and so I am going to have to word this a bit delicately. The left has long understood the value of not &#8220;punching left,&#8221; meaning that, unlike on the right, leftists will never disavow their radical fringe to the same degree. Corporations, the media, and other institutional tools of the left do not attack figures like Bernie Sanders, who in turn doesn&#8217;t attack his hardcore socialist fanboys, who talk about their &#8220;street violence&#8221; core, Antifa (and yes, I know they are often frail weaklings, but still). The right has the opposite approach. Establishment conservatives are quick to turn on paleoconservatives, who often attack the &#8220;dissident right,&#8221; which is full of people who spend their time attacking &#8220;wignats.&#8221; The reality is that, unless said &#8220;wignats&#8221; are directly harming your movement, they shouldn&#8217;t be your focus. You should never do the work of your enemy for them, right?</p><p>In the case of a group like Atomwaffen Division, I do not support their methods, I do not like James Mason or SIEGE, all of this is probably obvious. That being said, I think many guys don&#8217;t seem to realize that the vast majority of &#8220;normies&#8221; don&#8217;t know the differences between figures like Mason, Richard Spencer, Nick Fuentes, and Bronze Age Pervert. The recent attempts to pin the blame for this school shooting on BAP and Fuentes by their respective fanboys only brings more heat for toward all of us. Part of the problem with the AWD, and especially the O9A, is that they provided a convenient excuse for the left and the state to crack down on all of us, and this is hardly the only example. Think about the consequences of Unite the Right. One fatality led to a mass deplatforming, hundreds of otherwise good people being doxed, and to this day, it is still used to attack the right as a whole, from Donald Trump to actual National Socialists. When you deal with a figure like Sutter, who writes pedophilic fiction about gangs of evil men sadistically torturing innocent people, he doesn&#8217;t just harm his image, he gives the media an excuse to paint all of us with the same brush. I think AWD was a terrible idea,, but I also acknowledge that not everyone in the movement was a Satanic pedophile. Yet, thanks in part to Sutter, all of their members suffered massive consequences. Unlike the left, which uses Presidential pardons to release their violent radicals (the Weather Underground, Oscar Lopez Rivera, etc.), the right does not do the same. Angela Davis, today a respected civil rights icon, professor, and author in popular society, was an open supporter of the Soledad brothers and the Black Panthers. She purchased firearms and associated with individuals who violently took a courtroom hostage, kidnapped a judge, and shot a police officer to free men who killed a prison guard. While I know it is a cliche, imagine the right-wing equivalent. Imagine if a professor bought firearms for members of AWD so they could kidnap a judge and shoot a cop to help them free members of the Aryan Brotherhood who killed a prison guard. Do you think said fictional academic would be awarded with honorary degrees? After she was ruled not guilty, a member of the jury threw a black power salute, and ten members of the jury partied with her afterwards. Can you imagine if a jury ruled our imaginary white nationalist professor not guilty, one of them threw a Roman salute, and then they got drunk together?</p><p>I know that was a tangent, but I felt like it was important to remind you that we are playing against a stacked deck. Sutter and the Tempel Ov Blood are one of the ways the state stacks the deck against us. They entrap an idiot with one of their cliche plots, pay him to spread bad ideas, arrest the guys who are convinced by said bad ideas, and then demand the rest of us condemn anyone who was even tangentially associated with that man or his ideas. In my opinion, no serious right-wing person should be doing anything of substance with anyone involved in the Order of Nine Angles, but purposely trying to smear your media market rivals by trying to associate them with this without evidence just further rigs the game. We do not have the same privileged status as the left, we lack the institutional support (no matter how much certain figures try to argue otherwise), and while we can occasionally benefit from the actions of the mainstream right, they do not consider us misguided friends like how the left treats their fringe. Unlike the Black Panthers, a black nationalist, Communist organization, no white nationalist, Fascist group will ever be given a pass, or be called heroes by members of the mainstream conservative movement. We all know this, and yet, I see certain guys <em>insist</em> on pretending that, if we disavow enough of the fringe, we can achieve mainstream success. Do you seriously believe this might be the case? By all means, don&#8217;t join any accelerationist groups, I agree that it is a bad idea, but don&#8217;t use the existence of these groups as a cudgel you wield to win arguments on Twitter.</p><p>You are of course free to disagree with people, I certainly don&#8217;t think we should all just hold hands and pretend to have no issues, but when you flippantly accuse people of being associated with, say, 764, you are playing with fire. Take the latest shooting as an example. The reality is that, aside from the extremely scummy photoshops, one could easily argue this mentally ill teenager supported BAP, and just as easily argue he supported Nick Fuentes. He <em>wanted </em>this outcome, he consciously emulated other school shooters and filled his manifesto with inside jokes, niche references, and memes to try and attract more attention. School shooters are after infamy, they don&#8217;t usually intend to live long enough to face the consequences, so the backlash swings back to whoever they claim inspired them. Sutter, because of his status as an agent of the state, didn&#8217;t face the same consequences that other members of AWD did. He isn&#8217;t in prison, he&#8217;s free to publish whatever edgy nonsense he wants, living off the payments of gullible right-wingers and the thirty pieces of silver he received from the state. So far, he doesn&#8217;t seem to be facing any consequences for his connection to 764, despite it being labeled a terrorist organization in multiple countries. Like the shooter, he was able to burn everything he touched and avoid the backlash, and like the shooter, he doesn&#8217;t care that he harmed innocent people, his supposed friends, or the cause he claimed to believe in. Why? Because, as Sutter&#8217;s constant ideological shifts demonstrate, he has no deeply held convictions. Like the shooter, all of the references, everything published, it&#8217;s all just for attention, personal gain, and feeding his delusions of grandeur.</p><p><em>I know this gradually became less and less structured towards the end, but I couldn&#8217;t help it. Recent events on X have yet again shown me that many within the broader right-wing scene don&#8217;t seem to understand the position we are in, don&#8217;t seem to understand how we got to where we are, and don&#8217;t grasp the potential magnitude of some of the allegations they will flippantly throw around. I would like to extend my thanks to some people who provided me with some information for this article, and to those of you who have reposted or promoted my content or invited me on your podcasts. It means a lot, genuinely, and it is reassuring to see that there are still sane, intelligent people on the right. Going forward, expect more articles about more O9A groups, groups they subverted, and likely a few articles getting deeper into the history of right-wing accelerationism. Again, don&#8217;t expect any regular schedule, but stay on the lookout!</em></p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Book of Progress]]></title><description><![CDATA[A Cross-Dimensional Transmission]]></description><link>https://agnonsis.substack.com/p/the-book-of-progress</link><guid isPermaLink="false">https://agnonsis.substack.com/p/the-book-of-progress</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[AgNONsis]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 13 Jan 2025 20:03:11 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!kwoX!,w_256,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F7e639c2d-837f-4b0c-8561-1f74a865858f_230x230.jpeg" length="0" type="image/jpeg"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Author's Note: Tradition sent me this text from across dimensions, I believe it is a holy text in another timeline?

Pangea, the Mother, birthed the first people, who were blessed with a higher level of sentience than all other species.3.At first, these early people continued to coexist, but gradually, they began to spread across the lush and verdant world. 4. Pangea, the Mother, was a Uterus-bearer, and Her children included each of the continents of the world.5. These children were named Asia, North America, South America, Antarctica, Australia, and Europe, and when She birthed them all, She gave each of them part of her spirit.</p><p>6. People began to spread across the world, eventually living in almost every continent.7. Antarctica, made of ice, was uninhabited, but people lived everywhere else, in peace. 8.This was an age of universal cooperation, the natural state for people, where hierarchies and division did not exist. 9. Here, the people began to look different, a beautiful display of natural diversity. 10. Each child of Pangea, the Mother, was equal, but one began to grow envious and spiteful, Europe. 11. He was not content to live in peace with others, but wanted to control, dominate, and destroy his siblings.</p><p><em>The Evil Plot of Europe</em></p><p>12. Europe&#8217;s people were white, the color of death, bone, and frigid snow. 13. Europe began to secretly create demons, who taught the white people many wicked spells to help them destroy the peace. 14. These demons were many, and their evil ideas began to make the white people envious. 15. The white people felt crowded, cold, and jealous of the other races, and with the help of the demons, they began to cast wicked spells.</p><p>16. The first spell they cast was the creation of the Gender Binary as a means of oppression. This Gender Binary, taught by the wicked demon Patriarchy, forced all into two categories, male and female, on the basis of genitals. 17. The Uterus-bearers were named Women, and were enslaved by the Penis-bearers, who were named Men. 18. All other categories were erased, and the Men felt powerful.</p><p>19. The second spell they cast was the creation of Heterosexuality as a means of oppression. 20. This Heterosexuality, taught by the wicked demon Patriarchy, forced the Women to only love the Men, and to produce many children. 21. This allowed the men to control Women more, and forced many people to hide their true sexualities. 22. All other sexualities were erased, and the Heterosexual Men felt powerful.</p><p>23. The third spell they cast was the creation of Hate as a means of oppression. 24. This Hate, taught by the wicked demon Violence, made the Men want to hurt or kill anyone who seemed different. 25. Soon, the white people began to fight and kill each other, and for many years, this was all they did. 26. All other emotions were erased, and the Hateful Heterosexual Men felt powerful.</p><p>27. The fourth spell they cast was the creation of Class as a means of oppression. 28. This Class, taught by the wicked demon Hierarchy, split the Men into different categories, based on how many possessions they owned. 29. The Men with many possessions were called Rich, and they ruled over the Men with few possessions, who were called Poor. 30. All class unity was erased, and the Rich Hateful Heterosexual Men felt powerful.</p><p>31. The fifth spell they cast was the creation of Race as a means of oppression. 32. This Race, taught by the wicked demon Racism, told the Men of Europe that they were superior to the children of all other continents. 33. They were White, and they were told that they were destined to rule over all other people. 34. All equality was now erased, and the White Rich Hateful Heterosexual Men felt powerful.</p><p><strong>Chapter 2.</strong></p><p><em>The Dark Age</em></p><p>1. The children of Europe began to invade the rest of the world, burning, pillaging, and looting. 2. They forced the peaceful people of the other continents to learn their same wicked spells to defend themselves. 3. The wicked demons of Europe laughed, and their father Europe felt powerful. 4. He thought he was better than Pangea, the Mother, and he smiled as the peaceful races of his siblings began to adopt the Gender Binary, Heterosexuality. Hate, Class and Race. 5. However, the inherent goodness of the other races meant that they were unable to match the White race, who had given up all goodness in their millennia of warring, evil, and oppression.</p><p>6. The White race conquered the world, and cast new spells like Colonialism, Capitalism, Slavery, Pollution, and Technology, to continue to extend their reign. 7. Pangea, the Mother, woke from her sleep, called into the waking world by the sobbing of her children Asia, North America, South America, and Australia. 8. She saw how the White race had begun to destroy the world, poisoning the air, robbing the soil, and raping the forests. 9. She saw how the other races had been forced to cast the same evil spells, and how oppression was now rampant. 10. She saw how Europe had become wealthy and powerful, by stealing from the other continents. 11. She saw that Her perfection and peace had been destroyed, and She decided to punish Europe and the White race.</p><p><em>The Great Wars</em></p><p>12. She began to take advantage of how the White race had embraced Hate, and made them jealous of one another. 13. Soon, Europe watched as his children began to fight war after war, culminating in a war called the Great War. 14. During the Great War, millions of White people died to accomplish nothing, and the demons, drunk on blood, fueled the conflict further. 15. Pangea, the Mother, believed that the Great War would end the White race&#8217;s control, but unfortunately, it ended. 16. The demons of Europe, weakened by the peace, watching as the other races began to rebel, cast a final spell, combining all of their wickedness into one White Man, Adolf Hitler.</p><p>17. Adolf Hitler led the Axis of Evil, an alliance of the most oppressive states. 18. Europe managed to trick some of the children of Asia into joining him, and the Axis of Evil tried to conquer the world. 19. Pangea, the Mother, caused some of the White race to fight against the Axis of Evil, and millions of White people died to stop Adolf Hitler and the Axis of Evil. 20. The White people who fought against Adolf Hitler and the Axis of Evil began to lose their grasp on the other races. 21. One-by-one, the White people watched as their conquests broke free.</p><p><em>The Death of Europe</em></p><p>22. Pangea, the Mother, created an angel that would teach all people new spells, to destroy the wicked spells of Europe. 23. This angel was called Progress, and Progress was all-powerful. 24. Soon, long-suppressed genders and sexualities began to re-emerge, and Patriarchy began to die. 25. Soon, the Poor began to have control over the Rich, and hierarchy began to die. 26. Soon, the races began to mix into one, and Racism began to die. 27. Soon, peace began to return, and Violence began to die.</p><p>28. Europe was punished, and forced to give the other races all of the treasure the White race stole. 29. As penance, the White race was forced to accept all the ideas of Progress. 30. The children of the White race were told to open their hearts and reject the demons of Europe. 31. They were taught to always bear the guilt of their sin, and to hate the spells that the demons taught them. 32. Adolf Hitler became the greatest monster in history, and the White race was taught to never repeat his vile ways. 33. Europe, defeated at last, watched as Progress absorbed the White race. 34. Pangea, the Mother, learned that categories were too divisive, and so all categories were destroyed forever, in the Final Destruction of Evil, when the world burned with the fire of Progress.</p><p><strong>Chapter 3</strong></p><p><em>The Final Destruction of Evil</em></p><p><em>Author&#8217;s Note: For whatever reason, Tradition seems to have messed up and sent me this section in some language I can&#8217;t speak, so I was able to transcribe it.

Now, we live in a world of perfection, exactly as Pangea, the Mother intended. 2. We are all one people, and we have no need for the wicked spells of Europe. 3. We are all the same, perfect in our blessed unity, and we live off the land, content in our nakedness. 4. We will never repeat the sins of the long-dead White race, because we will never again divide ourselves. 5. We will worship Progress as the Bringer of Equality, the Killer of Evil, and the Eraser of Knowledge.</p><p>6. Progress brought us Equality, by erasing all categories and dividers. 7. Progress brought us Peace, by killing all evil, division, and ambition. 8. Progress brought us blessed Ignorance, by destroying all civilization, technology, and history. 9. Today, we praise Progress whenever we pass the ruins of the White race, the ugliness the White race built from the plunder of the world. 10. Those crumbling structures, permanent scars on the land, remain to remind us of the evils of Europe, the White race, and all the ambitions of the past.</p><p>11. We must always remain vigilant against any signs of the return of the demons of Europe. 12. When a person begins to categorize people, remove them. 13. When a person begins to speak of rebuilding, remove them. 14. When a person questions equality, remove them. 15. When a person begins to live among the ruins, seeking ancient evil spells, remove them. 16. When a person begins to question Progress, remove them.</p><p>17. Pangea, the Mother, gave us Progress to save us from these evil, backward ways. 18. We must never again harm the world with structures, for they bring more scarring to the land. 19. We must tear down and destroy any remnants of history, so that our descendants can never again speak to the demons of Europe. 20. We must remember that the sacred ashes are proof of the victory of Progress over evil. 21. The idols, made of marble and bronze, that depict false images of Beauty, must be torn down.</p><p>22. So says Progress, child of Pangea, the Mother, who purged the world with fire in The Final Destruction of Evil. 23. We, as children of Progress, exist in perfection. 24. We do not categorize by genitals, appearance, or characteristics. 25. We do not collect possessions, build, or learn, for we are merely the highest of animals. 26. We do not adopt a permanent home, for this fuels the demons of Europe. 27. We exist in the perfect unity that existed before Europe, and we shall exist in this state for eternity. 28. We do not alter the Book of Progress, for it is perfect and complete, just as we are. 29. The Book of Progress is all the knowledge we shall ever need, and all we must ever learn. 30. We are all we can ever be, and we are happy to forever remain as we are.</p><p>31. So declares Progress, child of Pangea, the Mother, who purged the world with fire in The Final Destruction of Evil.</p><p><em>Obviously, this is just a bit of fun, an attempt to explore a hypothetical post-apocalyptic religious creed based on the ideas of Progress, which I am increasingly convinced is an actual egregore that the Left worships. I had most of this written months ago, but I never bothered to finish it. Currently, I am feeling rather motivated, so I am trying to work through my back catalog of half-written stories, partially-remembered dreams, and drunken ramblings.</em></p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[O9A and the Right, Pt. 3: Anton Long]]></title><description><![CDATA[My long-delayed article on Anton Long, the founder of the

Truth be told, it was at the back of my mind for a while, but the one-two combo of Luigi Mangione and Natalie Rupnow proved that accelerationism continues to have teeth. Indeed, I'd argue that both events demonstrate that, no matter how loathsome I find the Order of Nine Angles to be, they are right about a few things. Massively publicized acts of targeted violence draw media attention, and therefore the wide public, and in both cases, the public immediately clamored for a manifesto. There's a comfort in knowing that, however deranged, the chaos exists to serve some kind of agenda, and a sick thrill in feeling like one can understand the mind of a psychopath. Luigi Mangione allegedly admired Ted Kazycscki, and Natalie Rupnow allegedly cited multiple mass killers in her manifesto as "Saints" she idolized. This worship of violence and elevation of killers to anti-heroes is precisely the aim of the Order of Nine Angles, even though they often couch this in layers of esoteric terminology. That, however, is no doubt old news to anyone who has read my previous, but sometimes it&#8217;s important to remember that the Order of Nine Angles is less of an outlier than it may initially appear. Accelerationism is surprisingly popular, and in an era as polarized as ours, I believe this radical approach to creating political change will continue to become more and more common. As a right-wing person, who sincerely opposes accelerationist ideas, I like to think I am, in some small way, contributing to a wider understanding of the origins of this tactic, and helping to educate some of you in the darker and more obscure corners that this ideology lurks in.</p><p>The Order of Nine Angles was not born in a vacuum, but rather, claims to be the culmination of millennia of secret pagan practice, based on primordial truths beyond the comprehension of us Mundanes. Their founder wrote under a pseudonym, Anton Long, and has the typically flowery biography of any cult founder. In 1973, a woman particularly gifted in the acausal arts merged three secret occult societies, the Noctulians, the Camlad Temple, and the Temple of the Sun. This fusion became the Order of Nine Angles, and their next grand master was Anton Long, a globe-trotting British occultist and aspiring Satanist she met at an occult gathering. He was initiated and ordered to expand the O9A by recruiting outsiders, which is why he published these ancient secrets and sought out new members. Anton Long spent decades writing and disseminating material for members of the Order of Nine Angles and authored most of their most important texts, including <em>The Sinister Way, Hostia: Secret Teachings of the ONA, </em>and <em>CODEX SAERUS: The Black Book of Satan.</em> In addition, he contributed to various O9A publications like <em>Fenrir, </em>where he discussed both esotericism and practical tactics. His dominant role in establishing the practices of the Order of Nine Angles has led to Long achieving an almost mythical status among some members, though the O9A is not a personality cult. In other words, he is highly respected but not worshipped, and because the O9A has become increasingly decentralized, other authors have also contributed to their broader literary corpus. Anton Long is a fake name, a pseudonym used to mask the true identity of their founder, and because of this, I am forced to tread lightly. We do not technically know who Long really is, and in the perennial tradition of many occult practices, multiple people may have written under this title. Still, it is pretty widely accepted that at least the majority of texts written by Anton Long are authored by the same man.</p><p>There is one clear candidate for the true identity of Anton Long, a man named David Myatt. David Myatt is English, born in Tanganyika in 1950 when it was still part of the &#8220;empire where the sun never sets.&#8221; In his piece &#8220;The Consolation Of A Viator,&#8221; he describes living in, &#8220;the colonial outposts of the West,&#8221; where he had a &#8220;classical education, a happy childhood,&#8221; where he spent a great deal of time learning about, &#8220;music, art, literature, poetry, and history.&#8221; His father was a colonial bureaucrat who worked in a variety of Britain's colonies. Here his interest in a variety of religious beliefs likely began to blossom. Throughout his life, Myatt has been interested in a diverse range of spiritualities, and in many ways, is the typical &#8220;religious seeker,&#8221; always looking for a faith that he can truly believe in. This led to him spending time at both Christian and Buddhist monasteries, studying pre-Christian pagan traditions and the occult, before eventually converting to Islam, a faith he later renounced. Today, he continues to publish on his WordPress blog, while living a relatively quiet life in the English countryside. Truth be told, none of this sounds particularly unusual, and you&#8217;d be forgiven for assuming Myatt is yet another product of the New Age movement of his teenage years, a Westerner who is fascinated by alternative religious movements with a penchant for fetishizing the exotic faiths of the Orient. Today, he follows a belief system called &#8220;The Numinous Way,&#8221; a &#8220;philosophy and way of life&#8221; that is built around an emphasis on &#8220;individual judgment, individual understanding&#8230;and the living of an ethical way of life.&#8221; This highly syncretic personal spiritual practice is a perfect example of Sheilaism in practice (a concept I discussed in a previous article) and perhaps does genuinely represent the culmination of decades of pondering and internal debate. Say what you will about Myatt, he is rather well-read, and while his writing style isn&#8217;t necessarily my cup of tea, it does portray a genuine intellect. However, I&#8217;m sure you, dear reader, agree that merely being interested in niche topics doesn&#8217;t exactly guarantee fame, so why is David Myatt so well known, and how is he connected to the Order of Nine Angles? A mere flirtation with the occult is hardly grounds to label someone a prominent anonymous Satanism, but while Myatt may live a quiet life of reflection now, his highly controversial and infamous past casts a shadow of doubt over his current narrative of atonement and regret.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

decades as a prominent figure in the post-war British neo-fascist scene. Here, I think it's important to take another self-indulgent diversion because I believe it is almost impossible to talk about Myatt&#8217;s place in this scene without first describing why an odd man like him managed to fit in so well and rise to prominence. After the defeat of the Axis powers, the Western "far right" were faced with a serious crisis. World War II was a global war of ideology, where fascism and nationalism fought against international capitalism and communism, and ultimately lost. In this clash of giants, the Old World colonial powers essentially entered a Faustian pact, causing them to slowly surrender their colonies as a consequence of their victory. To win the war, France and England accepted they'd become second-tier powers, squarely under the thumb of the United States, who emerged a superpower only rivaled by the even newer and more politically radical major player, the Soviet Union. </p><p>Some thinkers, like Francis Parker Yockey, argued that the Soviet Union, especially after some of the anti-Jewish purges conducted by Stalin, represented a viable alternative to the globalist, capitalist West, at least temporarily. In this view, it was better to play the two alliances against one another and take advantage of the USSR&#8217;s eagerness to acquire assets and allies beyond the Iron Curtain. This is the ideology that inspired some early post-war fascists, especially the Socialist Reich Party in Germany, which received funding from the Soviet Union and is arguably the origin of the modern tendency some far-right movements have to ally with the &#8220;global south&#8221; or Russia against NATO and the existing western elite. Others, like George Lincoln Rockwell, argued that communism remained the greater threat, and saw far-right politics as the key to preventing an eventual communist takeover. This coincided with some thinkers in NATO, who covertly supported certain far-right groups as part of Operation Gladio, believing committed neo-fascists would be the perfect base to build stay-behind networks on. There were other divides too, with figures like Oswald Mosley and Yockey promoting a kind of pan-European white ethnostate, believing white civilization should unite in the face of increasingly dismal demographic statistics, but this tendency was opposed by those of a more nationalist orientation. In addition, some parts of the far-right underground began to look at the defeat in World War 2 in more spiritual or esoteric terms, leading to a resurgence in interest in Julius Evola and the emergence of figures like Savitri Devi and Miguel Serrano, who saw a spiritual element in Hitler. Religious divides were also common, and eventually, debates began that continue to this day. Paganism, Christianity, atheism, and more began to swirl around, and the argument remains unresolved.</p><p>Another new strategy began to form, what we today call &#8220;accelerationism,&#8221; or violent resistance to the existing global order. To the accelerationist, a political solution to the ails of society is impossible, and the far-right must adopt a militant posture, actively fighting against the system to either hasten its collapse or instate a new regime. Here, figures like Joseph Tommasi, James Mason, and William Luther Pierce and groups like Ordine Nuovo and The Order advocated for guerilla violence against the state, both in small decentralized cells and by lone wolves. If you&#8217;re familiar with the terrorism attributed to the far-right, you&#8217;re familiar with the results of this philosophy. Here, assassinations, robberies, and bombings were seen as the path to an eventual white victory, and many thinkers in this sphere believed that an impending race war would ultimately decide the fate of the West. It sounds dark and often takes on an apocalyptic tone, but the continued existence of loose digital networks like Terrorgram and the legacy of the Iron March forum demonstrate that it is an argument that is compelling to certain people. It's within this niche that David Myatt soon became a known figure, and he joined Colin Jordan's (a prominent British Neo-Nazi and one-time husband of Francoise Dior) British Movement in 1968. From the 60s to the 90s, he floated around in the Nazi underground, including associating himself with the controversial Combat 18, a group prone to violence that has been declared a terrorist organization in several countries. In the late 90s, a British Neo-Nazi named David Copeland conducted a series of nail bombings in London, killing four and injuring dozens more. Copeland possessed a copy of "Practical Guide to Aryan Revolution" by David Myatt, which advocated for a "public declaration of war" against the state. Specifically, it argues for both organized militant cells and "lone-wolf" attacks, which might remind you of some of the methods used by later O9A affiliates. This brought media attention to Myatt, who was already known as a radical within the British far-right, and Combat 18 continues to inspire many modern groups, including Atomwaffen Division, which was ultimately taken over by the American O9A nexion named Tempel Ov Blood.</p><p>Like James Mason's "SIEGE," Myatt's text is explicitly accelerationist, and the media attention that came after Copeland's attack might have inspired a change in Myatt. Around the same time, he publicly converted to Islam, adopting the name Adbulaziz ibn Myatt al-Qari and advocating for "practical Jihad (holy war) as a duty, [which] is the only force that is capable of fighting and destroying the dishonour, the arrogance, the materialism of the West." He explained that he believed that Westerners, even in the far-right, "lack the desire, the motivation, the ethos, to do this" and that any serious revolutionary should "do the right thing, the honorable thing, and convert, revert, to Islam." This isn't an entirely new perspective, certain former Nazis did the same after World War 2, and today, we continue to see shades of this in the publicized conversions of multiracial internet celebrities like Sneako and Andrew Tate to Islam. To some, it appears that the West has become decadent and weak, while the Middle East retains its traditional values through faith in Islam. During his time as a Muslim, Myatt continued to make controversial statements, supporting groups like the Taliban, in what was arguably the most unpopular time to do this, the late 90s and early 2000s. This continued to attract media attention to Myatt, and in a post-9/11 world, a headline like &#8220;What the neo-Nazi fanatic did next: switched to Islam&#8221; was almost certain to generate some buzz. This is the period where Myatt denounced his racial views, causing him to &#8220;embrace the multi-racialism of the Ummah&#8221; which he felt honor-bound to follow. Some have questioned how genuine this conversion was, and while it seems academics believe it was legitimate, I do have some issues with this narrative, which I will detail below. By 2006, the death of his love caused him to begin to question his faith, and by 2010, Myatt publicly renounced all extremism. Today he says he is "seeking expiation for my decades-long extremist past," on his WordPress blog, which is proudly titled "David Myatt: Learning from Adversity; A Rejection of Extremism." Here, he writes about his current philosophical ideas, but one article is particularly fascinating, a PDF titled "A Matter of Honor." The elephant in the room, that I must address if I wish to continue this article, is that David Myatt claims to not be Anton Long and to have never been involved with the Order of Nine Angles, a claim that (to me, and many others) seems rather absurd. The two just coincidentally use the same system for dating time, many of the same specific terms (ie, acasual, Aeons, Homo Galactica), have had the same political trajectories, and the O9A just happened to borrow his Star Game and cite his texts as an inspiration.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!FW3t!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa52ceb7c-51ae-4b48-9757-ab265537460e_200x267.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!FW3t!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa52ceb7c-51ae-4b48-9757-ab265537460e_200x267.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!FW3t!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa52ceb7c-51ae-4b48-9757-ab265537460e_200x267.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!FW3t!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa52ceb7c-51ae-4b48-9757-ab265537460e_200x267.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!FW3t!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa52ceb7c-51ae-4b48-9757-ab265537460e_200x267.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!FW3t!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa52ceb7c-51ae-4b48-9757-ab265537460e_200x267.png" width="200" height="267" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/a52ceb7c-51ae-4b48-9757-ab265537460e_200x267.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:267,&quot;width&quot;:200,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:39111,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!FW3t!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa52ceb7c-51ae-4b48-9757-ab265537460e_200x267.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!FW3t!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa52ceb7c-51ae-4b48-9757-ab265537460e_200x267.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!FW3t!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa52ceb7c-51ae-4b48-9757-ab265537460e_200x267.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!FW3t!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa52ceb7c-51ae-4b48-9757-ab265537460e_200x267.png 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg role="img" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><title></title><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a><figcaption class="image-caption">Adbulaziz ibn Myatt al-Qari. Like many Western converts to Islam, he has red hair, curious!</figcaption></figure></div><p>I think this is preposterous, and indeed, I find his current attempt to separate himself from "extremism" in general rather suspicious. According to Myatt, he was involved in the creation of an "occult group", but he rather curiously refuses to name said group, and claims it was a failed attempt to secretly use occultists for National Socialist aims. This is the opposite of what we see the O9A doing today, subverting far-right groups to serve a Satanic agenda. Indeed, some of the tactics he describes them using, including using attractive women to seduce would-be members, are mirrored in O9A writings like <em>Eulalia: Dark Daughter of Baphomet</em>, written by Anton Long. Further, he mentions his time as a Catholic monk as proof he wouldn't be a member of a Satanic group. However, as he mentions, the Order of Nine Angles advocates for deep covert action and requires one to perform an "insight role," and the recommended roles include joining a Neo-Nazi group, associating with radical Islamists, and becoming a monk. These are found in a variety of O9A writings, most notably found in "Aeonic Insight Roles." In the Order of Nine Angles, publicly identifying and immersing yourself in another faith isn't just allowed, it's recommended. Thus, while one could certainly take Myatt&#8217;s claims at face value, none of them would contradict the advice of Anton Long. In addition, the similar terms and ideas I mentioned earlier would all be rather remarkable coincidences. Both Myatt and Long advocated for using accelerationist tactics to achieve a future Galactic Imperium or Reich, both happened to date time using the y.f. year system that starts in 1889, and the Order of Nine Angles uses the Star Game developed by David Myatt as a core part of their practice. Both started publishing their ideas in the underground fascist scene in the same period, where both cited their globe-trotting past and wide expertise in a variety of spiritual traditions to justify their beliefs and interest in the occult.</p><p>While I'm no expert in linguistics, I'd also like to point out the astounding similarities in how many O9A texts written by Anton Long are formatted and how David Myatt continues to write. Anton Long and David Myatt don't just share many ideas and unique words and phrases, they also share a very similar writing style and formatting technique. If you don&#8217;t believe me, feel free to compare the works he continues to publish on his WordPress with PDFs of documents written by Anton Long. Another major piece of evidence linking the two is the artwork of Richard Moult, aka "Christos Beest," whose depiction of Anton Long I edited to make the image at the beginning of this article. Moult is an artist and musician who dedicated dozens of pieces to the O9A, and this depiction of David Myatt is often used to reference Anton Long. It also features, as you might notice, the O9A symbol on the crystal next to him, and Myatt willingly chose to use it as the cover of his autobiography. David Myatt has also acknowledged that he has written under pseudonyms at times to deliberately mask his identity, in letters he wrote to Satanic groups, and a reply he received from the Temple of Set even addresses him as &#8220;Mr. Brown/Long/Myatt.&#8221; I am not, as he has claimed others have done in the past, merely using a few coincidences and supposedly plagiarism by the Order of Nine Angles to use him as a convenient scapegoat, I am looking at the totality of evidence and coming to the simplest and most logical conclusion. Why, if he isn&#8217;t Anton Long, would the most official O9A website refer to someone named &#8220;DM[&#8216;Anton Long&#8217;]&#8221; who is roughly the same age as Myatt? Why does the official O9A publication <em>Fenrir</em> celebrate the chance to feature an interview with Myatt, who is supposedly just an aging former neo-Nazi? Therefore, I'm fairly certain that the original Anton Long was David Myatt, but I can't say whether he is still involved with the O9A today, though I suspect he is. Frankly, it doesn't matter, because as I've discussed in previous articles, the Order of Nine Angles is an audience cult.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!CQ1Y!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0ecc7f61-33d4-4b48-b467-43313592b242_720x986.jpeg" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!CQ1Y!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0ecc7f61-33d4-4b48-b467-43313592b242_720x986.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!CQ1Y!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0ecc7f61-33d4-4b48-b467-43313592b242_720x986.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!CQ1Y!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0ecc7f61-33d4-4b48-b467-43313592b242_720x986.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!CQ1Y!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0ecc7f61-33d4-4b48-b467-43313592b242_720x986.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!CQ1Y!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0ecc7f61-33d4-4b48-b467-43313592b242_720x986.jpeg" width="720" height="986" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/0ecc7f61-33d4-4b48-b467-43313592b242_720x986.jpeg&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:986,&quot;width&quot;:720,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:73846,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!CQ1Y!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0ecc7f61-33d4-4b48-b467-43313592b242_720x986.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!CQ1Y!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0ecc7f61-33d4-4b48-b467-43313592b242_720x986.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!CQ1Y!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0ecc7f61-33d4-4b48-b467-43313592b242_720x986.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!CQ1Y!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0ecc7f61-33d4-4b48-b467-43313592b242_720x986.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg role="img" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><title></title><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a><figcaption class="image-caption">David Myatt, painted by Richard Moult AKA Christos Beest.

Odd&#8230;</figcaption></figure></div><p>By being an anonymous, decentralized movement, where debate is encouraged and there is zero real "quality control" to decide what is and isn't canonical text, the founder doesn't have to remain involved for the movement to continue. Regardless, it's interesting that Myatt has publicly renounced all extremist activity, and I think it's fair to question his motivations. If you believe Myatt, he spent decades oscillating from one extremist belief to another, always dedicating himself wholeheartedly, before personal tragedy led him to reject all extremism, aside from an interview with a Satanic, neo-Nazi magazine published by and for a group he claims to have no affiliation with that he is personally opposed to. Still, dear and patient reader, you might wonder, why does this matter? Is Myatt directly connected to the modern, and more relevant to the right, nexions like 764 and Tempel Ov Blood? As far as I can tell, no, but the ideas of Anton Long continue to live on in these groups. Even if Myatt isn't Long, his life represents an almost idealized version of what is expected of a Niner. He became involved in extremist groups, advocating accelerationism and encouraging the collapse of Western civilization. He remained a constant thorn in the side of the system, and when his time as a revolutionary ended, he managed to transition to a quieter life, where he continues to publish his ideas on philosophy, religion, and the esoteric. Perhaps he has decided his earlier extremism was wrong, maybe he has genuinely rejected the occult like he claims, or maybe he's lying yet again and continues to be involved in the covert Sinister plot. The fact that we can't be sure no doubt pleases him, and if he is Anton Long, I have to give him some credit for successfully maintaining the illusion, at least at enough of a surface level to convince the casual observer. Regardless, the curious figure of David Myatt will forever be connected to the mysterious Anton Long, and as long as the Order of Nine Angles continues to reside in the shadowy underbelly of the far-right, he will continue to be studied.</p><p>Going forward, my next article will either be about the infamous American O9A nexion the Tempel Ov Blood, which will necessitate diving into the bizarre life story of Joshua Caleb Sutter, a former member of the Aryan Nations, Juche advocate, radical Hindu, and Niner who operated the Martinet Publishing company, received tens of thousands from the FBI, and has connections to both Atomwaffen Division and 764, probably the two most well-known and violent American offshoots of the Order of Nine Angles. Before I dive into Atomwaffen Division, I will probably have to devote a side article to James Mason and SIEGE, because AWD ultimately became a fusion of the irreligious Nazi accelerationism of Mason and the Satanic occult accelerationism of the Order of Nine Angles. Again, I apologize for the delay in finishing this article, it essentially sat half-written in my notes for a month, and that has taught me to not promise any particularly consistent publishing schedule going forward. If you have any questions about my sources, feel free to DM me on X, I have dozens of PDFs, articles, and archived websites I can point you towards if you want to read more deeply into anything I&#8217;ve brushed against in this or other articles.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[O9A and the Right, Bonus 1: Baphomet]]></title><description><![CDATA[A brief article

bringer-into-being of a whole new race. For the time of human Chaos, darkness, death, culling, change, had arrived, again." - Eulalia, Dark Daughter of Baphomet by Anton Long </em></p><p>Even if you're largely unfamiliar with demonic or occult practices, I'm sure you've heard of Baphomet. If you haven't, you've certainly seen the image below, of a half-man, half-goat creature with breasts, holding one arm up and the other down. Originally, it appears that "Baphomet" was an early term used by the French for "Mohammed," ("Mahommet" becoming Baphomet) and it was initially used to reference the god they believed Muslims worshipped. However, the term Baphomet eventually came to be associated with some kind of demonic entity, starting during the heresy trial of the Knight's Templar. During the trial, it was alleged they engaged in ritual worship of this demonic entity, which required them to perform blasphemous acts, sodomy, and urinating on the cross. I won't pretend to know if these charges were accurate, but my gut tells me that, like the Cathars, they were likely engaging in some form of unorthodox Christianity (possibly Gnostic), though I doubt it was Satanic. Nevertheless, this association is what ultimately stuck, and Baphomet eventually became a figure of occult interest. Figures like Aleister Crowley drew on these legends, and soon, Baphomet became one of the many images associated with the Devil in the popular imagination. The enduring interest in the Knight&#8217;s Templar, and their association with Masonry, conspiracy culture, and the broader occult scene have kept this story alive, which is why later Satanists like Anton LaVey drew on legends about Baphomet in their teachings. </p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!y8f3!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Faeeda7fa-c9e6-4b21-9876-96f7063a8c4f_1274x1890.jpeg" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!y8f3!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Faeeda7fa-c9e6-4b21-9876-96f7063a8c4f_1274x1890.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!y8f3!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Faeeda7fa-c9e6-4b21-9876-96f7063a8c4f_1274x1890.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!y8f3!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Faeeda7fa-c9e6-4b21-9876-96f7063a8c4f_1274x1890.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!y8f3!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Faeeda7fa-c9e6-4b21-9876-96f7063a8c4f_1274x1890.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!y8f3!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Faeeda7fa-c9e6-4b21-9876-96f7063a8c4f_1274x1890.jpeg" width="1274" height="1890" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/aeeda7fa-c9e6-4b21-9876-96f7063a8c4f_1274x1890.jpeg&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:1890,&quot;width&quot;:1274,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:833531,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:false,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!y8f3!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Faeeda7fa-c9e6-4b21-9876-96f7063a8c4f_1274x1890.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!y8f3!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Faeeda7fa-c9e6-4b21-9876-96f7063a8c4f_1274x1890.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!y8f3!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Faeeda7fa-c9e6-4b21-9876-96f7063a8c4f_1274x1890.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!y8f3!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Faeeda7fa-c9e6-4b21-9876-96f7063a8c4f_1274x1890.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg role="img" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><title></title><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a><figcaption class="image-caption">The most famous and enduring &#8220;typical&#8221; depiction of Baphomet.</figcaption></figure></div><p>Regardless of its original meaning, Baphomet's enduring popularity as a demonic figure should mean its usage in Order of Nine Angles pantheon isn't much of a surprise. Most of the Dark Ones in O9A beliefs draw on existing myths and figures, but their interpretation of Baphomet is particularly interesting, and I believe it helps to illustrate some points about their beliefs, which is why I've devoted my first bonus article to this. Traditionally, Baphomet, despite its androgynous traits, is depicted as a male. However, in the theology of the O9A, Baphomet is explicitly female. She is the Bride of Satan, the Mistress of Earth, Mother of Blood, and the Vamperess of the Dark Gods. She is said to represent the dark feminine, and as a faith dedicated to the emancipation of women from the constraints imposed by Magian religious systems, she plays a particularly important role in their practices. </p><p>First, it's important to note that the O9A knows that Baphomet is traditionally depicted as male male, and uses this as one of many tests to see whether a self-proclaimed Niner is genuine. This "test of mundane-ness" helps to separate a genuine O9A Satanist from the more conventional, and therefore false, Satanists who follow the teachings of Anton LaVey. Unlike Anton Long, the completely original name used by their pseudonymous founder, Anton LaVey is a false prophet, and his Baphomet takes influence from the "Hebrew Kabbalah" and lacks any "genuine, innate, Occult" truth. This is also why the O9A uses the unique nine-pointed symbol instead of the conventional inverted pentagram. In other words, the elitism and shit-tests are baked into the naming and symbolism. This is also one of the justifications they use for explicit Nazi symbolism. The idea is that a Niner must not only be willing to reject previous occult knowledge, but they must also be able to reject their previous understanding of history. The O9A constantly positions itself as the only genuinely Satanic movement in the world, and they love to cite these differences as proof that they are tapping into unique spiritual truths that pretenders are unable to see. Anton LaVey&#8217;s &#8220;Church of Satan&#8221; and the even newer &#8220;Temple of Satan&#8221; are treated like edgy atheists, who pervert the name of Satan to promote self-improvement, equality, and other concepts that are antithetical to the &#8220;anti-cosmic&#8221; Satanism of the Order of Nine Angles. While it might sound bizarre, this is a genuine friction point in the broader Satanic scene, where other Satanists attack the O9A as a Neo-Nazi cult, LARPers, or bad actors who deliberately poison the image of Satanism. </p><p>A female Baphomet also further reinforces their emphasis on the feminine and women as a key aspect of their faith. If you've read my last article, you'll understand how they believe women are inherently gifted in the muliebral skills, and are naturally more equipped to engage with the acausal. This is not an idea unique to the Order of Nine Angles, but it is an interesting detail to keep in mind, because this allegedly somewhat-matriarchial faith is often championed by right-wing men, a group not often associated with particularly progressive perspectives on gender. There is a very real emphasis on women being equal in general to men, and in many of their pieces of fiction, women play a prominent role, often as the protaganists. Take the text I quoted earlier, "Eulalia, Dark Daughter of Baphomet," which is one of several short stories written by their founder Anton Long that Niners are encouraged to read to glean additional insight into their belief system. The story starts with a group of nine (how shocking) sorceresses, who are "handsome of face and lithe of body" and greet each other with kisses, with "moist lips touching moist lips." These women are of course lovers, and they have male servants called Guardians who help them kill a man with a crystal so they can harvest his "seed" as part of a ritual sacrifice to the star Dabih, and therefore to Baphomet. This might sound like some kind of occult-themed femdom snuff erotica, but it's important to remember that these short stories are how the O9A intends to represent its faith in practice.</p><p> This is an idealized, perfected version of the O9A, where beautiful women and their strong male companions can easily seduce victims, hack news agencies to show their terror-inducing propaganda, and conduct a car-bombing and murder campaign across London. In the story, the British government is hopeless to stop this coven, who use a combination of their gunfighting skills and acausal powers to kill around a dozen special forces soldiers, while making witty remarks about the music of Strauss and cryptic references to the Dark Gods. If you're ever overly-concerned about the O9A, I highly recommend you read these stories, because they are a riot. This one in particular is an amazing cocktail of poorly-written smut, violent power fantasies, and overly-verbose occult ramblings. Nevertheless, don't let my condescending asides distract from the point, which is that this story is intended to demonstrate their faith in practice. In Part Three, called (I swear) "The Lengthy-Briefness of Dark Acasual Dreams," Eulalia's plot is revealed to be part of a centuries-long plan to bring Baphomet to earth, alongside other Dark Gods like "Falcifer". This plan required women, and the O9A's shadowy origins are depicted like they usually are, as a primarily female coven that practiced in the English-Welsh borderlands for centuries and perhaps millenia. Anton Long might have brought the Order of Nine Angles into the broader occult conversation, but if you take his claims at face value, he was merely bringing new exposure to ancient ideas. Baphomet is merely the current exoteric name for an esoteric being that once walked among humanity, and if their plans ever succeed, will again one day.</p><p>However, Baphomet isn't just the ultimate avatar of their attitudes towards women, but she is also the Bride of Satan, which is the "exoteric name" for an acausal entity that is part of their pantheon of Dark Ones. I would argue that this too demonstrates their emphasis on pair-relationships between Niners. While, as we saw in Eulalia's story, homosexual relationships (particularly between women) aren't discouraged, there is plenty of talk of sexual rituals that are written with a heterosexual couple in mind. Symbolically, worshipping both might also connect to their beliefs that all Niners must develop both their masculus and muliebral aspects. In addition, there is sometimes an emphasis on creating children (as a side note, the children of two Dreccs are called Drecclings, which I enjoy), because the O9A claim to be planning for events centuries from now. Like Satan and Baphomet, Niners must "manifest...new families and new tribes" that can work to "undermine...the way of life, the societies, and the nation-States of the mundanes." The "mythos, ethos, tradition, and culture must be passed down" because the end of the Western Aeon won't happen for another three to four hundred years. Like the Dark Gods they worship, the O9A believes itself to be playing a key part in a very long game against Magian influence, which has lasted for many lifetimes. The necessity of creating Niner bloodlines connects to yet another term for Baphomet, the "Mother of Blood." </p><p>Blood is, in many ways, essential to the practices of the Order of Nine Angles. Baphomet in particular is interested in blood, and they claim that she "ritualistically washes in a basin full of the blood of Her victims." This obvious parallel to Elizabeth Bathory is interesting, and while I haven't found an explicit reference to her as being an example of a Rounwytha, there is an interest in vampires in the O9A. Not only is Baphomet the "Vamperess of the Dark Gods," but some of her devotees are described as "in a quite literal sense, vampires." This is because they are "ageless" women who use their beauty and skills to harvest the "acausal life-force" of male victims, including draining their blood. The dark, seductive woman, clad in red or black, is a common motif in their fiction. Terms like "Sinister Whampyre" and "Noctulian" also play on this vampiric image, because Niners believe they are all, in some way, vampires. They are, like their Dark Mistress, creatures of the night and the dark, who are entitled to the right to prey on the weak because of their inherent superiority. Of course, there is also the issue of cutting, which is common in many O9A nexions, but that's a practice I'll elaborate on in later articles. Rest assured, they love to carve sigils, runes, and swastikas into each other, and in some cases, they blackmail their victims into doing the same. Blood is often seen as vitally important in many occult circles, but in the modern world, it is rather rare for a faith to outright encourage its devotees to engage in the sacrifice and, in some cases, consumption of human blood as part of ritual practice. </p><p>Baphomet, like many of the acausal entities they believe in, is associated with a particular cosmic phenomenon. This is where the comparisons to Lovecraftian horror tend to be most accurate, because they, like any good Lovecraftian cult, believe they must open a "Stargate" (also usually called a Nexion) to summon their Dark Ones into our real, casaul realm. Baphomet is connected to the star system Beta Capricorni, otherwise known as &#8220;Dabih.&#8221; The &#8220;Star Game&#8221; (almost certainly the subject of a future bonus article) revolves around this aspect of their faith, but many of their rituals are also designed to coincide with certain  astrological events. For example, arguably the most elaborate ritual is the "The Ceremony of Recalling with 'opfer' ending," where a woman takes the role of the Mistress of Earth, or Baphomet. The ultimate goal of this ritual is that said woman sacrifices and often beheads a male priest, and uses some of his blood in "sacrificial cakes" that are later consumed by the entire nexion. Of course, there are many other steps, and they involve plenty of chanting, the stand-in for Baphomet kissing various men and women (and the sacrifice&#8217;s penis), and some ritual sex, but the key detail I want to hone in on is the timing. Supposedly, this ritual is to be conducted every seventeen years during the Summer Solstice, and the male sacrifice is ideally a 21-year-old Niner who has been prepared for this role in numerous ways. I am not sure if this entire ceremony has ever actually been conducted, but I am writing about the O9A as it describes itself, not grading them on how rigidly they follow their texts. Like with the short stories, this is how the Order of Nine Angles choses to depict their practices, and when you are dealing with a cult like the O9A, self-presentation is everything. </p><p>Their "sales pitch" relies on this image, the self-constructed narrative that they are an ancient, highly elite, and entirely amoral dedicated to serving Dark Gods beyond the comprehension of mere mundanes. To be a Niner, one must embrace the darkness, one must become "Sinister," one must be willing to kill or die if necessary to better prepare the world for the coming Aeon of Fire. Baphomet, as the archetype of their sinister feminine, is one half of their perfected, Noctulian being, and an example that all Niners are encouraged to emulate. She bathes in the blood of the weak and encourages her followers to push themselves beyond all casaul morality, all restrictions, and all taboos. When examining a cult like the O9A, it is often difficult to distinguish what is genuine belief and what is, for lack of a better term, LARPing. Do all Niners truly engage in human sacrifice? I don't think so, but considering the amount of documented murders, arsons, rapes, and child pornography rings directly connected to the cult, it's clear that some certainly take their message seriously and follow the Septenary System to its logical end. The "Mother of Blood," regardless of whether she exists in an acausal realm or a figment of their collective imagination, should not be discounted. Sure, she may not have beautiful, Gothic lesbian witches who slaughter special forces officers with ease at her command, but she does have a motley collection of terrorists, would-be terrorists, pedophiles, and mentally-ill edgelords willing to do heinous acts to transcend their Magian-imposed morality. </p><p>My next full-length article will cover Anton Long's likely true identity, David Myatt, and attempt to cover the various stages of his life, from his early involvement in the British National Socialist crowd to his later life as a pseudo-mystic, and I'll make sure to stop at each of the key points, like his extended flirtation with Islam, his connections to a variety of other occult and neo-fascist figures, and of course, a lengthy aside about the attempts to divorce him from the figure of Anton Long, despite the rather strong evidence proving they are one and the same. It will be a long one, full of murky tales of witches, excerpts from largely unknown O9A zines, and will of course be hyped up with the appropriate amount of video edits on my timeline. As a meta note, these "Bonus" articles will likely continue to be shorter, and I'm using them as a way to cover interesting and relevant side topics without disrupting the broader timeline I'm trying to craft in the main series. For example, once I move beyond Myatt, I'll be profiling a variety of O9A groups, and many of them are heavily influenced by SIEGE and James Mason. Mason, to my knowledge, has genuinely never been a member of the Order of Nine Angles, but he has certainly crossed paths with some of them, and without his work, groups like Atomwaffen Division wouldn't exist. Thus, after Myatt, I'll unfortunately have to read and take notes on SIEGE, but once I get through that, it will be much smoother sailing. The hardest work will soon be behind me, and I can shift into a decidedly more "true crime" direction and begin to dive into the documented crimes these Noctulians have committed.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[O9A and the Right, Pt. 2: Sinister Syncretism and Client Cults]]></title><description><![CDATA[An attempt towards defining what the

defines itself by existing in opposition to mainstream religion and by it's novelty. A popular alternative term is "New Religious Movement," but I will use the word cult because it's punchier, shorter, and in this case, I don't care if it has a negative connotation. Going forward, I will be calling the O9A a cult, but make no mistake, it is a highly decentralized and individualistic religious movement, where lone practitioners and small groups form "nexions" that are only loosely connected to the larger "Kollective." This helps to explain why there can be such a diversity of opinion within the broader O9A, and while there are certain beliefs that are almost universally shared, certain elements can change. For example, I'm aware that there are less National Socialist influenced groups of "Sapphic" Satanists online, and there are apparently O9A influenced ecoterrorist groups in Latin America, but attempting to document every offshoot's beliefs in detail is beyond the scope of what I'm trying to accomplish. Attempting to define the O9A, while boring, is important to understanding their appeal, their baseline beliefs, and how this fairly obscure cult has managed to survive for decades. </p><p>Getting more specific, the O9A is an "audience cult," a term coined by the sociologists Rodney Stark and William Sims Bainbridge to describe cults that are highly decentralized. A more mainstream example of an "audience cult" member would be the typical modern occultist, who orders esoteric books and conducts private rituals. Audience cults are, by their nature, inherently attractive to loners, and many members of the O9A practice their faith in solitude. Certain rituals are even written with two different options in mind, in the event that the reader does not have someone to conduct them with. However, while the broader Order of Nine Angles is an audience cult, there are specific nexions that have evolved into small "cult movements." A cult movement, like Heaven's Gate or Scientology, is more organized and more of a commitment. Audience cults tend to attract individuals who are religious seekers, and can often just one part of a follower&#8217;s broader individual religious practice. A cult movement demands more singular commitment, but this does not mean every cult movement has it's own "cult leader," or charismatic individual that the group is organized around. Scientology is a famous example of an audience cult that evolved into a cult movement, but it had a step in between that is called a "client cult." Client cults, which some would argue include professions like palm readers or paid astrologers, involve a believer paying an expert or religious figure for a religious service, but because of the secretive and personal nature of O9A practices, this isn't really a factor. </p><p>An individual practitioner is usually called a &#8220;Niner&#8221;, though other terms certainly exist, including &#8220;Noctulian&#8221;, one that&#8217;s particularly popular in modern right-wing O9A circles. Another term that one often sees is &#8220;Drecc&#8221;, but Dreccs seem to be defined by their lifestyle, which involves living a &#8220;practical sinister life&#8221; as part of a &#8220;territorial and independent group&#8230;who rule or seek to rule over a particular area.&#8221; Thus, not all Niners are Dreccs, and there are apparently even Dreccs who &#8220;do not describe themselves as Satanists.&#8221; Some groups use these terms interchangeably though, so going forward, I will be using Niner, because spell check doesn&#8217;t attempt to change it. Niners are encouraged to "develop their own system based on or inspired by the ONA, it's causal forms, praxis, and mythos." This has led to an underground network of anonymous authors contributing their own thoughts to the broader Kollective, often publishing these works under pseudonyms online, though this task was accomplished through mailing lists and occult magazines before the Internet. Because of this relative freedom of belief, certain groups are more "syncretic," drawing on other religious writings, neo-pagan thought, and at times, Esoteric Hitlerism. This practice can be traced to their earliest texts, written by the pseudonymous "Anton Long," the founding Grand Master who published formally created the Order of Nine Angles. Anton Long drew on a variety of sources, ranging from previous occult texts to "Dark Ones" like Satan, Shugara, or "the Jinn of Arabic stories." Syncretism is closely related to another concept in the academic study of religion, the ideas of "religious bricolage" and "Sheilaism," so I'll try to explain how both concepts relate to the O9A in practice. </p><p>Religious "bricolage" is a term based on the nearly-extinct profession of a bricoleur, which is basically someone who takes old parts and pieces and cobbles them together to create something new. In the study of contemporary religion, religious bricolage refers to the practice of combining different religious traditions and ideas into a new faith. While this is often done at the individual level, specific cults, especially those influenced by New Age or occult spirituality, can codify their bricolage into practice. An individual who practices religious bricolage might be an example of "Sheilaism," a term coined by the sociologist Robert Bellah based on an interview with a woman he called Sheila. Sheila claimed she didn't follow a particular faith, but that she was deeply religious, and called her personal beliefs "Sheilaism." This is a term that often describes the large percentage of people, particularly in America, who say they are &#8220;spiritual but not religious,&#8221; a group that is gradually increasing with each census. While a group might engage in religious bricolage, Sheilaism is unique to each individual, and for particularly isolated Niners, this is a common approach. The Order of Nine Angles, as an audience cult, can be the sole influence on some believers, while for others, certain concepts are picked and chosen to create a personal blend. </p><p>This is a criticism that some Niners have leveled at certain nexions, especially politically controversial ones like the Tempel ov Blood, led by Joshua Caleb Sutter. Sutter is a key figure in the fusion of O9A Satanism and SIEGEculture that eventually co-opted Atomwaffen Division, and is a character that will be profiled in detail in a later article. The interconnected nature of National Socialism and the Order of Nine Angles is a complex issue, not helped by the deliberately contradictory language used in many O9A texts. For example, the Order of Nine Angles uses an occult calendar, where 1889 is the year 0. 2024 would be 135 yF, which can mean either Year of Fire, Year of Fayen, or Year of the Fuhrer, because Hitler was born in 1889. Here, we see one example of how some groups are more explicitly National Socialist then others. To some, they use Year of Fayen to, "refer to the ethos of the 'New Age' where restrictive patriarchal/Magian-inspired forms of living...are replaced by new ways," while others use Year of the Fuhrer because of the importance of Hitler as the enemy of "ZOG, the NWO, and the System." The O9A has gone through numerous broad phases, and the level of emphasis placed on being an explicitly National Socialist cult has changed over time, which, when combined with how many of their texts are published anonymously, makes it basically impossible to truly say whether or not the Kollective as a whole can be described as National Socialist. Typically, the media likes to argue that it is, but that is often because of how perfect a &#8220;violent neo-Nazi Satanic cult&#8221; fits existing narratives about white nationalists being the most important terror threat in the west.</p><p>The Order of Nine Angles is also a religious belief system that places a particular emphasis on "accelerationism" to create the conditions necessary for a future, galactic civilization. While many religions believe in future vindication and a new golden age, few will outright advocate terrorism to achieve this end. The O9A, inspired by the philosophers Oswald Spengler and Francis Parkey Yockey, believes that civilizations have fairly rigid life cycles, and so they separate time into Aeons. Each Aeon is defined by a particular &#8220;Aeonic <em>civilization</em>&#8221; that essentially tapped into supernatural energies, and lasts for roughly 2,000 years. The previous Aeons were, in order, the Primal, Hyperborean, Sumerian, and Hellenic, with the last ending approximately 1,600 years ago. The current, so-called &#8220;Western&#8221; Aeon will last for a few more centuries, and then a new Aoen, the "Aeon of Fire" will lead to galactic colonization. Niners follow the "sinister dialectic," as their long-term plan to "further [mankinds] evolution in a sinister way" by "sow[ing] disruption and Chaos" to "bring-into-being a New Aeon." This might sound like science fiction, but it is <em>the</em> primary driver behind their long term plans, because the Niners believe that their beliefs are necessary to achieve this new Aeon, and that by influencing both the physical and metaphysical, they will ultimately lead either humanity, or in the more racialist groups, Aryans, to becoming an entirely sinister race, guided by their beliefs, culture, and Kindred Honor.</p><p>Niners follow the Left Hand Path, or LHP, meaning they reject morality, the laws followed by "mundanes," (most non-Niners) and any kind of restriction. The left hand and right hand distinction is common in western esoteric and occult circles, and while it originated in India, it has since become synonymous with two different approaches to how and why magick is done. Starting with Madame Blavatsky, an important figure in the broader occult scene in the west, the divide between the LHP and RHP has largely been a moral one. Followers of the "Right Hand Path" believe in some kind of rigid moral code, that bad actions lead to bad consequences, and that magick should be practiced for benevolent reasons. In contrast, LHP groups like the O9A find power in breaking taboos, sexual rituals, and rejecting the morality of broader society. The O9A is probably the most extreme example of a Left Hand Path cult, and their worldview is built around the idea that they are above and beyond the morality that lesser people, or "mundanes," follow, which they are believe are artificial restrictions imposed by nebulous enemy forces to constrain their power. These enemy forces, often referred to as &#8220;Magians,&#8221; are those who believe in the Abrahamic faiths or ideals professed by said faiths. The dominance of &#8220;Magian ethos&#8221; in the modern world explains the &#8220;consumerism, capitalism, and usury,&#8221; as well as &#8220;mechanistic Marxism, Freudian psychology&#8230;[and the] nanny State.&#8221; The Magian ethos has led to a new sub-species of humanity called the &#8220;Homo Hubrus&#8221; who are the &#8220;foot-solder[s] of the Magians&#8221; and comprise the majority of the government, mass media, celebrity class, and oligarchs. These people are called &#8220;hubriati,&#8221; and they believe in lies like democracy, equality, and the existence of independent nations.</p><p>The O9A are "unashamedly elitist" and advocate for "culling," which Anton Long "the essence of the Satanic ethos," in Satanic Sacrifice and Satanic Thinking. Culling is human sacrifice, and they believe that through human sacrifice, they not only "weed out the weeds and reduce the surplus population of mundanes" but also transcend the false constraints of modern morality. Thus, their accelerationism, like that advocated by James Mason in SIEGE, is explicitly violent, which, combined with their interest in Nazism, is what has caused the two to often become one in practice. It is important to note that the O9A places a massive emphasis on physical fitness and a personal "kindred honor," which essentially means that they don't treat each other as "resources and useful subjects" like they do mundanes. The importance of culling is not just for scoring edgy points, but also as a way of separating the O9A from other, so-called "pesudo-Satanic" groups like the Church of Satan, that often use Satanism as an inflammatory way of promoting equality, religious tolerance, or atheism. The Order of Nine Angles, being an elitist, initiatory order, has stringent requirements for one to become a proper Niner. Unlike the average mundane, a Niner must live to a higher standard, undergo numerous personal trials and challenges, and learn progressively more intensive and complicated practices, as is typical in any initiatory order. From the ancient Greek mystery cults to the modern occult underbelly, many orders, covens, cults, and churches have adopted this practice, where a believer needs to follow a series of progressively more difficult steps to advance in the faith and be granted access to new knowledge and power. A poser, for lack of a better word, will be turned off by the Nazism, the culling rhetoric, and the genuine effort required, which allows the O9A to preserve it's elite character. The internet has complicated matters, and made claiming membership much easier, which is why many genuine Niners insist on enforcing the physical and metaphysical standards as rigidly as possible. </p><p>A Niner must follow the "Seven-Fold Way", which includes everything from studying the "septenary system" to physical fitness standards and eventually a period of isolation in the wilderness for three to six months.  The Seven-Fold Way's seven spheres are each "a stage in the Occult quest" and despite their ostensibly Satanic origin, they actually claim descent from pre-Christian truths. As a brief sidenote, the septenary system is &#8220;magickal symbolism&#8221; they use in their workings, and it uses the &#8220;Tree of Wyrd,&#8221; drawing on ancient Anglo-Saxon religious concepts. This is because, in their history, the Order of Nine Angles became public when it&#8217;s pseudonymous founder met a witch who was the previous &#8220;Grand Mistress,&#8221; and introduced him to these ideas. She was part of an ancient line of occultists in Welsh Marches, so this won&#8217;t be the last time we see terminology originating in this area, The O9A believe in "the sinister-numinous tradition" that can only be understood through the "personal, interior balance between masculous and muliebral." Basically, a member earlier in their journey first hones their "masculus aspects of the psyche" which are the traditionally male traits like aggression, destruction, and control. Then, an practitioner must learn to harness their feminine qualities, the muliebral, like empathy, charm, self-reflection, cunning, and "Veiled Strength."  To the O9A, the "Magian-influenced" patriarchal faiths of Judaism, Nasrany (Christianity), Islam, and others have suppressed and tried to destroy those traits, which are required for their more magickal practices. </p><p>This emphasis on an ancient lineage and the feminine might resemble ideas found in beliefs like Wicca, but the O9A have decidedly different meanings for those terms. Still, it is important to note that this audience cult, like many others, claims to understand primordial, hidden truths. This is basically the foundation of almost any occult practice, and is often the trait that cults use to separate themselves from established religions. It is also precisely the kind of hidden secret that motivates many religious seekers to look into groups like the O9A, and in many ways, it is the marketing pitch for joining. A Niner isn't just a physically fit, superior being, they are also learning ancient truths that mundanes can never understand, which allows them to tap into "acausal" energies, powers, and entities, that exist beyond our "causal" reality. An advanced Niner uses tools like the Star Game and Sinister Sorcery (essentially magick) to influence "specific, temporal (causal) aims." The Star Game builds "skill in five-dimensional magick" and can invoke "acausal energies." To access the acausal, one must have mastery over muliebral skills like Dark-Empathy, mirroring many pre-Christian European pagan faiths, where women were often more associated with the supernatural. Indeed, the O9A cite figures like the Oracle of Delphi, the Vestal Virgins, and Lady Mab as examples of figures that had some level of acausal abilities. Rounwytha are people, usually women, who are naturally skilled in Dark-Empathy, and the Rounwytha Tradition is associated with the acausal entity Baphomet. This &#8220;sinister feminine archetype&#8221; is key to breaking away from the current oppressive Magian system, and it is this idea that directly inspired the aforementioned &#8220;Sapphic Satanists.&#8221;</p><p>This emphasis on a genuine gender equality is notable, and indeed, for all the Nazi rhetoric, the O9A is remarkably egalitarian when it comes to men and women, both of whom are considered essential. It's strongly advised that would-be Niners pair off with a member of the opposite sex, though same-sex relationships are not explicitly punished, and in some cases are actually encouraged. Men and women are both expected to eventually transcend the masculus and muliebral, by achieving a balance. Men are expected to develop their acausal powers, but women are also expected to arm themselves and be capable of violence. Indeed, the Rounwytha Tradition actually requires that Niners not be discriminatory within their Kollective against any &#8220;gender, sexual preference, or old Aeon categorization.&#8221; This is part of their broader Kindred Honor, and the same rules to not apply to mundanes or Magians, where prejudice is basically required. While a large amount of the known right-wing O9A groups are majority male, I'd argue this is because of a lack of female National Socialists interested in acceralationist ideas in general, and the broader O9A Kollective often claims to have more female Niners then males. Even in the more extreme, explicitly National Socialist nexions, there are examples of female members, which is where the infamous photos of women carved with swastikas, runes, and sigils first originated. This is yet another complicating factor when it comes to categorizing the O9A, because it is a cult that simultaneously claims that the Magians have created an overly-sexual and degenerate culture, while also praising lesbian witches and saying that sexism is anathema to their ways.</p><p>The most relevant O9A practice for those of us who worry about subversion is their so-called "insight role." This is described in <em>Hostia: Secret Teachings of the Order of Nine Angles</em> (one of the core O9A texts that members of AWD were eventually required to read) as an "extended magickal ritual," where a Niner infiltrates a non-Satanic group and "keep[s] their Satanic views and beliefs secret" to become "a shape-shifter, a chameleon." The recommended insight roles include voluntary, transient homelessness, becoming an expert burglar, joining the police or military, or "undertake the role of extreme political activist," and be "seen by all 'right-thinking people' as an extremist, and a dangerous one." This, coupled with certain nexions explicitly encouraging National Socialism, is the biggest reason why Niners often attempt to join and subvert right wing groups. Right-wing extremism is widely hated by broader, Magian-dominated society, which makes it the perfect way for a Niner to both encourage more chaos, hastening the collapse of the existing Aeon, while also experiencing something new and well-outside of ordinary life. Part of the insight role is taking on a new level of risk, and there are few lifestyles riskier then that of a neo-Nazi terrorist, or far-right activist. Of course, technically speaking an insight role is supposed to last between six and eighteen months, but as I will demonstrate in multiple future articles, this does not seem to be followed in practice. </p><p>To briefly provide an example, I'll again draw on Atomwaffen Division. It was initially founded by Brandon Russell, and was an explicitly SIEGE-based National Socialist group. After a serious of high profile murders, the initial leadership were either dead or in prison, which allowed John Cameron Denton, known as "Rape", to become the new leader. He introduced the aforementioned <em>Hostia </em>into their required reading, alongside the infamous <em>Iron Gates,</em> a post-apocalyptic story where Satanists rape, kill, and commit other atrocities. "Iron Gates" was written by Tempel of Blood, the explicitly National-Socialist O9A nexion led by Joshua Caleb Sutter, who was recently revealed to be an FBI informant. His "Martinet Press" is a major American publisher of O9A and other Satanic material, and will be referenced repeatedly in future articles. This was a controversial move, and members of AWD who opposed the Satanic shift published a lengthy counterargument decrying the "Noctulian scum" that had joined their movement, but ultimately, the O9A faction won out, and the Atomwaffen Division shifted from being a SIEGE-based militant group to an explicitly Satanic one. Denton and Sutter were Niners before they joined the AWD, and whether this was done as an insight role or to do what documents from "Temple 88" demand is currently unknown. Temple 88, another O9A Nexion, is even more explicitly National-Socialist, and it's publications are the most overtly "Nazi" of any I've found. They refer to the Magians as Jews or Zionists, call their enemy ZOG, and encourage members to join "active revolutionary movements striving to undermine and overthrow the State through armed revolution," so that, once the system is destroyed, the "Aryan race itself...[can] be purified." If you are involved in pro-white politics, you must always keep the example of what happened to Atomwaffen Division in mind. Lone wolf Niners are explicitly encouraged to join RW groups and push them towards violence, to achieve Satanic ends. They are also ordered to not reveal their true beliefs when necessary. </p><p>To summarize things and try to reintroduce some organization to this article, the Order of Nine Angles is an audience cult, and it's this decentralized, individualistic nature that allows for such a diversity of religious belief and practice. This had led to a great deal of religious bricolage, demonstrated in how different Niners and nexions have incorporated a wide range of influences, from more standard occult practices to explicit National Socialism. Some Niners show signs of Sheilaism, further complicating any sweeping summary of their beliefs. The O9A is an elitist, accelerationist movement, and these traits combine to cause many of their members to perform so-called "insight roles" in right wing groups, particually those with racialist or National Socialist ideologies. The O9A is part of the broader western occult tradition of following the Left Hand Path, and despite their often right-wing politics, they are a cult that, in many ways, is egalitarian, and in some cases, actually seems matriarchal. Niners are explicitly required to commit acts of violence, and are held to a high physical standard, which often lead them towards joining militias, terrorist organizations, or military and police forces. Drawing on supposed ancient tradition and a lineage that traces to pre-Christian paganism, they practice Sinister Sorcery, a kind of magick that they believe allows them to influence the causal, or physical world, through connection to entities and energies in the acausal realm, which are other, metaphysical dimensions. Their ultimate goal is to use a combination of causal and acausal tactics to accelerate the collapse of the "Western Aeon" so that they can become the leaders of a new, elite Satanic Galactic Imperium in roughly four hundred years. </p><p>This end goal might seem ambitious, but drawing on the philosophy and theories of men like Oswald Spengler and Francis Parker Yockey, they believe this outcome is inevitable. I wanted to write this article to give a brief summary of their important beliefs, define them in the broader context of cults or NRMs, and hopefully illustrate the legitimate threat they pose to right wing organizations. The O9A can be a difficult group to understand without context, and this is an intentional strategy they use to mask their intentions and make membership a difficult and time-consuming task. If you have any questions about my sources, I can provide them to you, but I've decided against including footnotes because I honestly hate the formatting on Substack and it has given me too much grief to be worth monkeying around with. If I find an easier way to do it, I will come back and edit this article, but I'm currently at my wit's end with both the Substack website and app, both of which have frustrated me over the past few days. Going forward, I will attempt to write a history of their movement, starting by focusing on the man widely believed to have authored a number of the initial texts said to be written by the pseudonymous &#8220;Anton Long&#8221;, David Myatt. Through studying the trajectory Myatt&#8217;s life took, I believe I will be able to provide a more detailed example of how an insight role can last longer then the supposed eighteen month maximum, and I will argue that his later conversion to Islam is part of a broader shift in strategy within the Kollective, coinciding with radical Islam replacing neo-Nazism as the premier boogeyman in western media. <br></p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[O9A and the Right, Pt. 1: Satanic Discords and Teenaged Wignats]]></title><description><![CDATA[How I first encountered the Order of Nine Angles, and the first in a series of articles on their broader history, beliefs, and impact on the right.]]></description><link>https://agnonsis.substack.com/p/o9a-and-the-right-pt-1-satanic-discords</link><guid isPermaLink="false">https://agnonsis.substack.com/p/o9a-and-the-right-pt-1-satanic-discords</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[AgNONsis]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 05 Nov 2024 05:18:09 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!eELj!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F659c628b-0406-4d90-b9c8-6f6fc5c38854_3024x4032.jpeg" length="0" type="image/jpeg"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em> Below is my lazy attempt at a &#8220;Dark Foreigner&#8221;

Thus, I'll be splitting this into a currently undetermined amount of installments, starting with this, explaining my personal experience with the aforementioned communities. I think this will be helpful, both for contextualizing why I care about this topic and to help any newer members of the &#8220;dissident right&#8221; to understand why such a seemingly-vile religion would be so appealing to some members of the alt-right. Without understanding the atmosphere where they started to blow up, this already insane story sounds even more unbelievable, so I want to establish a solid foundation I can build on in future articles. Besides, when you're learning to swim, you usually start off by paddling in the shallow end, not backflipping off the diving board, right?</p><p>     When I was in high school, I was the prototypical alt-right recruit. I was smart, white, extremely online, and somewhat socially isolated, obsessed with heavy metal and history, and most importantly, into dark humor and memes. A childhood spent on shock humor websites, 4chan, and Filthy Frank, combined with the shocking rise of Donald Trump, quickly led me to new corners of the internet. Soon, I was spending my days browsing /pol/, joining Discords full of Pepes, listening playlists of fashwave like Xurious, and watching Murdoch Murdoch. I was hooked, because if we're being honest, it was fun! Back then, normies hadn&#8217;t really figured out what the alt-right was yet, so you could mix dogwhistles and inside jokes in with memes and have them blow up in more mainstream spaces like Instagram and Reddit&#8217;s /r/the_donald, causing clueless boomers to inadvertently spread 13/53 memes on their stories and upvote memes talking about the 14 tenants of MAGA. Meme magic seemed real, and I was the only person in my so-called "honors" class to correctly predict Trump would win the election. For a brief time, it felt like we were eight years away from an ethnostate, and every mediocre fashwave edit I made of Trump, Goebbels, and Codreanu was contributing to a mass racial awakening. It was hard to not enjoy anonymously spitting in the face of a society guided by delusions, and victory was just over the horizon. Decades of underground activism were culminating in a new dawn for the far right, and this excitement culminated in a rally in Charlottesville, called Unite the Right.</p><p>     I was part of some massive Discord servers, where members excitedly planned where they'd stay, who they'd carpool with, and which group they march beside. I was too young to own a car, but I supported them in spirit, jealous of all the guys who were going to show the media that we didn't want out culture destroyed to appease the SJW masses. Soon, I saw videos of torches burning, Antifa counter protesters cowering, and it felt like the entire world was watching as the young white men of America proved they weren't going to be pushed around anymore. Then, everything changed, and these servers started to rapidly hemorrhage members. DMs from journalists flooded in as terrified young guys became convinced the entire rally was a trap set by the feds, to decapitate our movement. I was seeing reports that someone hard died in a car crash, videos of street fighting, and apparently a police helicopter had crashed? The writing was on the wall, the government was going to crack down on us hard, and soon, I deleted my accounts. After Unite the Right, there was a vibe shift, for lack of a better term. The rapidly-growing alt-right collapsed into infighting as key figures were arrested, thousands of accounts were banned, and every news agency in the country published dozens of articles about the dire threat we posed. Some gave up, terrified of being doxed, while others melted back into the conservative establishment, convinced explicitly pro-white organizing was a failure. For a teenager like me, it felt like an apocalyptic event, and I retreated into smaller, more closed-off Discords and Telegrams, where the memes became less frequent and the fedposting increased. In the broader political scene, the situation looked bleak, and it was hard not to swallow every blackpill I could. Trump had bent the knee to Judah, Steve Bannon was replaced with Jared Kushner, and those of us that still believed in the dream felt like we were trapped in that awful bunker below Berlin. The youthful optimism of the movement was replaced with a cruel nihilism.</p><p>     We didn't give a shit anymore. The masses were hopeless, mere cattle willingly marching towards demographic annihilation, herded by an enemy-occupied media and government hellbent on destroying the West. We started lifting and training, convinced that the collapse of civilization was imminent, and my school days were full of day dreams about the end of times. Would I die in some apocalyptic last stand? Part of me hoped I would, because it didn&#8217;t seem like there was any hope left for our people. Honestly, I was depressed, and I know I wasn't alone. Once you take the red pill, you can't exactly forget what you've learned, but the knowledge that once inspired me now felt like a curse, a poison I'd swallowed that was slowly killing me. I knew the truth, I knew the enemies, and I knew they were winning, we were losing, and the already-rigged game was almost over. At that point, I had basically become the ideal recruit for the Order of Nine Angles, even if I didn&#8217;t realize it. I was young, disaffected, and burying myself in obscure fascist philosophy, which reflected in my life offline. It felt like everything I had dreamed about was dead, and because of the massively-heightened awareness and media scaremongering about the alt-right, I couldn&#8217;t exactly tell my family and friends that I was upset that the &#8220;racist hate rally&#8221; had failed. Living where I was, our teachers were terrified of the alt-right, and suddenly, they didn&#8217;t appreciate that I was an outspoken Trump supporter, especially in honors, DE, and AP classes. The teachers couldn&#8217;t understand how a smart, well-spoken kid with great grades could support a monster like Trump, and the praise they used to lavish me with for being a lone voice of dissent soon turned into condescending lectures about how divisive and wicked Trump was. Offline, I bit my tongue, but online, I was spewing more bile then ever.</p><p>      One day, a small Discord server I was part of had a new member join, who's profile stood out. The skull mask in his profile picture was familiar, I'd seen people post images wearing them on /pol/, and he DMed me an invite link to his server. He was impressed with my knowledge of the Bhagavad Gita, Devi, and pre-Christian European paganism, the black metal I'd posted in our "Based Tunes" channel, and thought I'd enjoy meeting other young, committed right wing guys who shared similar interests. I joined his server, and quickly realized I was in the company of some very hardcore people. They were very self-serious, and their evil-looking profile pictures, Gothic fonts, and commitment were impressive to a teenager who loved Graveland, Goatmoon, and K.P.N. They were avid gun collectors, and they seemed like a breath of fresh air compared to the rather nerdy crowd I had been associating with online. Instead of debating whether the Germans or Italians ran a more efficient economy, they posted long diatribes extoling the benefits of action, and one was even connected to Azov Battalion, this Ukrainian unit I was vaguely familiar with thanks to my interest in the Ukrainian black metal scene. He claimed to have received combat training, and spammed PDFs about small-unit tactics, guerilla warfare, and how an asymmetric force can counter a conventional military in a revolutionary context. I lurked for a few days, but soon I started to notice some incredibly bizarre things, that stood out even among the hyper-angry rhetoric that was already common in alt-right servers at the time.</p><p>     They hated Christianity, they hated the "alt-right", and they were obsessed with this book called SIEGE, by James Mason. The anti-Christian sentiment and hatred of moderates weren't unique, but level of vitriol was, at least to me. They were well-beyond the &#8220;Christcuck&#8221; phase, preferring elaborate violent fantasies about how they&#8217;d punish these &#8220;Nazarenes&#8221; to theological arguments. I was familiar with SIEGE, it used to be a trend for wignats to spam &#8220;read SIEGE&#8221; wherever they could, but I hadn&#8217;t actually read it yet, I just knew the basics. Perhaps they were right, after all, more moderate solutions had failed, so why not look into the next level? They were mainly active on Telegram, but I didn't mind, I had a Telegram too, but then I saw some stuff that broke the spell. Between the black metal and the edgy art, one guy had posted a picture of his bloody arm, where he'd cut runes into it. As I dug a bit deeper, I noticed that a significant portion of their "Required Reading" channel was comprised of various Satanic PDFs, and the altar with a skull on it that one of their members posed with seemed bizarre. Maybe it was LARPing, I had been into black metal for a while, so I wasn't necessarily opposed to Satanic imagery, but the cutting seemed insane. Then, another member said they were trans, and someone mentioned a "porn server." At that point, I left, but I was rather confused. Back on my main Discord, the new member was banned, for attempting to solicit nudes from another guy, and after a little digging, we realized this guy was apparently part of something called "The Order of Nine Angles," a Satanic initiatory cult based on the writings of an anonymous figure who went by Anton Long. He claimed, like any good cult leader, to have learned ancient truths and secret rituals from before the advent of Christianity, and boasted that his followers would be the vanguard of the future. His basic premise was that, through transcending morality and following his teachings, they would one day usher in a new Aeon, using magic and murder to establish an Aryan Imperium that would conquer the stars.</p><p>     I had just encountered, however briefly, the most unsavory, schizophrenic, and bizarre subsection of the broader far right. My flirtation with their ideas was thankfully brief, but for others, it was a life-changing, fatal decision. Over the years, as I've become increasingly interested in studying religion, mystery cults, and the broader history of the right, I've always kept that week in mind, because it was one of my closest brushes with making a decision that would have ruined me. I believe that the Order of Nine Angles, despite its try-hard edgy aesthetic, is a genuine threat to the broader right, because it acts as a kind of parasite that burrows into other groups and pushed them towards violence and self-destruction. In practice, it's less a conventional faith and more a criminal enterprise, accumulating blackmail, child sexual abuse material, and encouraging devotees to self-harm, drug themselves, and ultimately destroy their lives. The "Sinister" path might be touted as a route to spiritual development, but in right wing circles, it almost always seems to lead to negative outcomes for victims, practitioners, and the broader right wing movement. Some will argue against this, and if I were more charitable, I&#8217;d be willing to concede that it might be an issue with individual believers, rather then the faith itself. However, further research has proven to me that the O9A is rotten from the root, and since it&#8217;s inception, it has accomplished nothing productive for the right. There is nothing interesting in their teachings that can&#8217;t be found elsewhere, and many of their recommended rituals read like some bastardized combination of Aleister Crowley, the villains from a horror movie, and the ancient Christian rumors about the Carpocratians.</p><p>     If you haven't heard of groups like Tempel ov Blood, the Maniac Murder Cult, Atomwaffen Division, 764, and many more, I'll introduce you to them, their origins, and their crimes. I'll try, as best I can, to explain how a Satanic cult managed to become so prominent in the most hardcore and undergrounds sections of the far right. I'll walk you through SIEGE, and explain how this text has been co-opted by figures who's true motivations have very little to do with politics. I'll point out key details that should serve as warning signs that an allegedly genuine comrade in this broader movement is a secret Satanist, and hopefully, I'll illustrate how their movement is inexorably linked with child pornography rings and confirmed federal informants. I can't guarantee these articles will be published on any regular schedule, because I'm trying to be thorough, and so I'm currently reading as many of their published writings as I can, which is a long, boring, and rather confusing task. Like any proper initiatory order, they try to shroud their beliefs in layers of arcane language and half-truths, in an attempt to make this kind of investigation harder. It can be difficult to determine what is edgelord LARPing, what is genuine belief, and what is the ramblings of a random believer online, disconnected from the broader "Kollective." Technically speaking, not everyone who considers themselves part of the Order of Nine Angles is connected, because it is a highly decentralized movement. Different "Nexions" have different beliefs, but I'm primarily interested in how they have impacted and infiltrated the right, because that's the community I'm part of, so I don&#8217;t plan to dedicate much time to their apparent influence on some leftist organizations. An O9A member can perform their &#8220;insight role&#8221; in any number of different ways, but there is a particular emphasis on joining National Socialist or far right groups, which I&#8217;m assuming is more applicable to anyone who would stumble across this series on my profile. I'm also well aware that James Mason and SIEGE are not explicitly O9A-affiliated, but considering that SIEGE is practically worshipped in right wing O9A circles, it's impossible to talk about the cult without dedicating at least an article to SIEGE. That is a rabbit hole of it&#8217;s own, James Mason is a fascinating figure in the history of the American far right, but I&#8217;ll try to keep that digression relatively brief and focused. I will also, at times, be forced to rely on allegations, because the man who is widely believed to have founded the Order of Nine Angles has, to my knowledge, never admitted it, and some of the stranger going-ons in groups like Atomwaffen Division are difficult to verify, but I'll try to be as exact as I can.</p><p>     I know this article wasn't particularly in-depth, nor does it contain much in the way of citations, but I'll drive myself insane if I write nothing but dry research papers, so there will be a few more like this sprinkled in, that rely more on my opinions, anecdotal experiences, and vibes. Rest assured, my list of citations is already getting very unwieldy and disorganized, so expect some future articles to be decidedly more fact-dense. I haven&#8217;t decided what format I want to cite in yet, but I saw somewhere that footnotes don&#8217;t word well on Substack, so I&#8217;m currently leaning towards parenthetical citations, but I figure that I&#8217;ll cross that bridge when I get to it. As a final bit of preemptive housekeeping, I want to warn you if you're someone who doesn't enjoy reading about child abuse. You might want to skip this series, because there is an undeniable link between many O9A groups and child exploitation and pornography, regardless of how certain cult members will try to deny these links. It's dark stuff, but we're dealing with a religious order that seems to be designed to be as edgy as possible, so it comes with the territory, and as I'm going to argue, the religious angle is sometimes used as window-dressing to give an ideological justification for fairly standard criminal activity.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our Spiritual War]]></title><description><![CDATA[When on acid, every tree branch resembled a rune, the sun emanated twelve sig runes, and I noticed swastikas hidden in the patterns of bark.]]></description><link>https://agnonsis.substack.com/p/our-spiritual-war</link><guid isPermaLink="false">https://agnonsis.substack.com/p/our-spiritual-war</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[AgNONsis]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 26 Oct 2024 16:59:19 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!kwoX!,w_256,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F7e639c2d-837f-4b0c-8561-1f74a865858f_230x230.jpeg" length="0" type="image/jpeg"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>     When on acid, every tree branch resembled a rune, the sun emanated twelve sig runes, and I noticed swastikas hidden in the patterns of bark. When I closed my eyes, long-buried blood memories of Hyperborean temples, ecstatic dances, and proto-fascist rituals consumed me. My friends, not tuned in to these kinds of thoughts, asked what I saw, and when I made the mistake of telling them I saw a swaztika on the nearby Oak tree, they were visibly worried. They thought I was having a "bad trip." I didn't mention the innumerable eyes comforting me, staring at me from the safety of the forest and reassuring me that I was merely the latest in a line stretching back to the ice world. </p><p></p><p>     I laughed, told them I was fine, and allowed my mind to wander, but that experience proved that we saw the world in two fundamentally different ways. The beauty I saw sounded terrifying to them, just as their ramblings about a universal connectedness terrified me. Their chemical-addled minds wanted to see peace through the lense of Progress, the egregore that had successfully converted them into unwilling acolytes. My mind, equally drugged, showed me a world of eternal order, where Tradition, a true spirit, still burned in my soul.</p><p></p><p>     I have always been plagued by delusions of grandeur, and to another person, this might be narcissistic, but I think it's what has allowed me to stay humble. I am a kind person because I know I have a destiny, I am able to remind myself that my forebears achieved greatness. I have no illusions of being a world leader or celebrity, but knowing that I am marching to the same beat as my ancestors fills me with genuine calm, the kind I still seek in meditation. Perhaps I'll fail, but even if I do, I know that I gave it a good effort, that I tried to live up to my name and build a legacy. To the leftist, legacy is pointless, the world only exists as it does now and the past can only be viewed through the eyes of the present. To someone who has seen the truth, the past, present, and future flow back and worth in endless cycles. </p><p></p><p>     The egregore of Progress is only the latest expression of the infernal Demiurge, the enemy of God, Tradition, and Knowledge. The Demiurge is a jealous and ignorant beast, constantly seeking validation and blind affirmations of faith from it's brainwashed disciples. I know God exists, and while I'm not knowledgeable enough to know exactly what form God takes, I know that God created Knowledge and Tradition. Knowledge does not want us to mindlessly memorize facts, but to see through lies, allowing us to cross the veil of "reality" and see the spiritual truths that occasionally found a voice in the prophets and philosophers of old. Tradition does not want us to fruitlessly attempt to reenact the past, but to apply the immortal concepts it preaches to our lives, our families, and our societies.</p><p></p><p>     Too often, people who have broken the spell of Progress immediately decide the only solution is to become a joyless pedant. I know this because I fell into this mindset for a period. I believed that, by casting off the yoke, I had to proselytize to everyone, because I didn't understand that some people will never see eye to eye with us. Rejecting Progress means rejecting lies so deeply ingrained in most of us that we are forced to confront the fact that our entire worldview is built on a foundation of excrement. It means admitting that we were wrong, that we directed our faith to a false god of equality, and that our understandings of history, biology, and even the spirit are worthless. For many, this is too heavy a burden to bear, so they instead put the yoke back.</p><p></p><p>     If we are brave enough to free ourselves, it can seem like we are alone, because we often are. When we find a rare sympathetic ear, we speak in hushed tones behind closed doors, to preserve our social status. In order to succeed, we have to wear a mask, and that disguise is made of the most fragile porcelain. One too many drinks, one too many tabs of LSD, or one bad experience can cause a crack, and if we allow too much of our sacred Knowledge to leak out, we sound insane. Close, genuine friends will suddenly get deeply upset, because the egregore Progress cannot tolerate even a moment of dissent. Because of this, we retreat to the Internet, where Tradition and Knowledge can be openly praised behind a thin layer of anonymity. </p><p></p><p>     Still, this is at best a release valve, a mechanism for us to say what we can't say to the masses. Occasionally, we gain a new convert, and while this is all excellent and good, it is not enough. Eventually, we must emerge from the castle and confront Progress directly. Our whispered sermons must be shouted, and when we do, we must steel our hearts and not allow the machinations and schemes of Progress to force us into silence. When the time is right, we must sally out of our castles and fulfill our destiny. Time is cyclical, and while Progress currently reigns, it rules from a throne built on rotted wood. No matter how appealing, how comforting, and how simple Progress makes the world seem, it cannot stand up to the power of Knowledge and Tradition. Progress is an egregore, sustained only by the faith of it's devotees, and as more and more are drawn away from the lie and towards the truth, it's iron grasp slowly loosens.</p><p></p><p>     The Demiurge created an imperfect world because it was incapable of doing anything better, and in it's jealous ignorance, it recoils at the mere suggestion that it's mistakes can be corrected. God, infallible, has no such reservations, and constantly pushes us towards righting these wrongs. When we open our hearts and spirits to this, we see that we are fighting a just war, a holy crusade to save an ungrateful population from marching towards their own extinction. The West, blinded by Progress, is driving towards suicide, and we are the only ones who can stop this. The Demiurge, too egotistical to admit that Progress is wrong, does not realize that this death drive will only create further flaws, which will only make this already imperfect world worse.</p><p></p><p>     When I was tripping in that forest, I felt an exaggerated, drug-induced version of what I feel everyday. I didn't experience a revelation, I was comforted by reinforcement. I try to remember that day when Progress seems especially powerful, or when the path forward looks especially perilous. My duty is to continue my legacy, continue the eternal battle against the Demiurge, and continue to dance to the tune of God's silent pipe organ, powered by the everlasting wellsprings of strength names Knowledge and Tradition. My duty is to prepare for the day when we will leave the shadows, by constantly improving myself, meeting the right people, and shielding myself from the influence of evil. Every day, I sharpen my spiritual sword, and every night, I try to dream of the inevitable future where we win. When the cycle finally turns, Progress will die as it's cult disintegrates, and the choir of Heaven will rejoice when the Demiurge retreats and the truth is once again triumphant.</p>]]></content:encoded></item></channel></rss>
