On Statecraft and Religion 3.5: Identifying the Darkness
Westerners & Christians are quick to label things they don’t understand as satanic, but there are important differences and distinctions that any “know thy enemy” students should know.

Money, war, religion, markets, geopolitics, social dynamics, the human condition, and societal implications. As everyone with a platform spends their time hyperfocused on single issues that draw you in, this is my attempt to step back to show the larger picture (and potential implications or concerns).
The ever-changing media cycle seems built to give us the attention spans of fruit flies - but there are issues that we should take the time to focus on and understand.
These are those issues.

Introduction
On July 26th of this year (2024), the Olympics opening ceremonies were held and opened quite a few eyes as to just how far the envelope (or Overton Window) had been pushed in terms of the culture war and secular attacks against Christianity. Videos began to circulate of viewers around the world, even in their homes in Paris, watching in disgust and horror at what they quickly (and accurately, in my opinion) saw as a direct affront to and attack on Christianity and the faithful.
This disgust was not only felt by Christians; the Iranian government summoned the French ambassador to voice their contempt for the ceremonies and the insulting representation of Jesus Christ. The President of Turkey also condemned the blasphemy:
If you’ve not read the previous On Statecraft and Religion posts here on Shitshow Macro, you may not realize that Islam is also an Abrahamic Faith, and they view Jesus Christ as a brother of the Prophet Muhammed (which he himself stated directly, and we’ve covered previously). The main difference is that Islam sees Jesus as a prophet, but not the Messiah.
In case you’ve forgotten what all of the hubbub was about, perhaps this will jog your memory:
The secular who planned, coordinated, approved, and supported this Shitshow were quick to walk back their “unveiling,” calling it a representation of Dionysus and coming up with a half-hearted explanation post-facto.
We discussed on the Shitshow Macro weekly prep podcast how it was nothing of the sort - and I say this as a guy who has spent a great deal of time looking into the Dionysian cults, where they came from, and what they have spawned.
And then we had one of the biggest giveaways; the obese woman with the faux halo - something that isn’t present in the Dionysian cults or artistic depictions of them - made a post to her own Instagram page bragging about their gay depiction of The Last Supper.
She deleted it when the uproar began, but the internet is forever:

Because I’m one who follows the “know thy enemy” approach rather than choosing to turn away in disgust or horror, I know how these people (and things) operate. Some of them are useful idiots swept up into dark circles, and some are astroturfed into truly believing that they’re just being edgy artists, for sure.
But then there was “ballgate,” the dude in the ceremony who had short shorts and his balls hanging out next to a child, which there just is no excuse for in any realm of the decent imagination.
Knowing that where you find those useful idiots mentioned above engaged in promulgating something that has dark, nefarious intent at its most macro level, there is always someone who knows exactly what they’re doing, I did a little digging in the places where those people tend to congregate.
If you understand these dark forces and paths, you understand that they often brag about the things they are doing. Often it is thinly coded or done in places where they know the “look away from danger” crowd won’t venture. I am not in that crowd.
Dates, numbers, and the Inversion Principle (which we will define below) are extremely important to these people and the various groups that they represent. As per the point of this post, and as we’ve outlined with numbers in previous On Statecraft and Religion posts, they will mean different things to different groups.
I put out this post to my followers on X the next day when I did the most shallow of digging into what that date of the opening ceremony meant to certain groups:
Here is the July 25 holiday calendar entry from The Satanic Temple:
Some may say that July 25 and July 26 are different days, not taking into account the various calendars that exist, nor the many time zones that exist within our planet. I once knew a famous DJ who played New Year's Eve gigs in multiple locations around the world on the same “night,” with all sets beginning at midnight due to an insane amount of airline miles racked up in accordance with these time zones.
Needling the difference in time zones and one date is rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic, which some will do for various reasons. Some will do this to redirect a conversation that they don’t want aired publicly, and others don’t want to come to terms with the fact that these things exist and have been allowed to fester to this point.
They do, however, exist. Ignoring them will not offer any type of solution. One could certainly argue that the “religious right” saw this slippery slope coming a long time ago, but were beaten into submission and scared away from voicing their concerns publicly or in “polite” conversation.
They made many now proven accurate predictions in decades past about that “slippery slope.” They were ignored, mocked, and derided.
Now we have a blasphemous Olympic opening ceremony put on a global stage, and again it’s largely fallen out of the public eye and people have moved on.
What does this “unveiling” on such a grand, global stage mean, in the greater context?
To truly understand that, you have to understand the different groups that are largely seen as the same to those who don’t understand what they are, where they differ, but also where they are aligned.
Many people will see some public display, or symbol, or movie, or hear music lyrics that they don’t understand and immediately chalk it up to satanism. In some cases they may be right, but in many cases they may be wrong.
But, as the mantra goes, “the devil is in the details.”
There are dark forces out there, but they are not the same. There are secret societies out there, but they’re not all bad nor are they all working in support of dark or nefarious forces or intent.
As “know thy enemy” is a requirement to win any battle - or to even know that you are in a battle in many cases currently - we will be going through these distinctions to help you understand what you are looking at when dealing with events such as these ceremonies.
Unfortunately, once you understand how they talk/communicate/signal/operate/celebrate, you begin to see it everywhere.
Satanism vs Luciferianism vs Thelema
While most observers chalk these two elements up to the same thing, they are quite different. They also have different “sects” within each, which we will dive into to help you gain a better understanding of what this is, what the people who ascribe to these believe, and to what ends they work.
Satanism: in general, satanists view satan as an actual entity - but not in all cases. Some under this branch do actually worship satan and work to those ends, while others view satan as merely a representation of other things.
Luciferianism: in general, these people see Lucifer as a representation rather than an entity, although just like satanists, there are different sects. While this may seem obscure and obtuse, again, the devil is in the details.
The various sects within satanists
Theistic satanism
Often views satan as an actual, direct deity or spiritual entity of worship
Can be referred to or broken into “spiritual satanism” and/or “traditional satanism”
We will also dive into “generational satanists” below, which are very real
Varies widely in practices that can range in ceremonies, rituals, worship, and sometimes magic
Note: as always, you may not believe in magic but these people do. Their version of it is also quite different from the Disney depictions that one may ascribe to the word.
The Brotherhood of Satan
Worship satan as an actual deity or entity
Believe they trace their roots back to the most ancient demon-worshiping cultures
Ostensibly (and publicly attest to) practice ancient satanic witchcraft
LaVeyan Satanism (church of satan)
Founded by Anton LaVey in 1966 when he published what was called The Satanic Bible
This form is more atheistic or agnostic, viewing satan as more of a symbol of personal freedom, individualism, and indulgence than an actual entity
There are some who say this belief cased a massive rift between he and Michael Aquino
There is also an interview given by LeVey that may attest to this entire viewpoint and practice by his group (atheistic/agnostic) being merely a smokescreen to keep the public’s attention away from their true intentions
This claims to be more about philosophy than entity worship, and focuses on the “9 Satanic Statements”
To fully understand what this is, here are those statements that outline the belief structure that LaVey created for this practice. Again, I’m not presenting these because I endorse them - simply so that you know what we’re dealing with.
1. Satan represents indulgence, instead of abstinence! - This statement encourages embracing one's desires rather than denying them for the sake of moral or religious doctrine.
2. Satan represents vital existence, instead of spiritual pipe dreams! - It promotes living in the here and now, focusing on tangible life rather than afterlife.
3. Satan represents undefiled wisdom, instead of hypocritical self-deceit! - This advocates for clear, unclouded thinking and the pursuit of knowledge without the veil of self-deception or hypocrisy.
4. Satan represents kindness to those who deserve it, instead of love wasted on ingrates! - Satanism here suggests that kindness should be reserved for those who appreciate it, not squandered on those who do not value it.
5. Satan represents vengeance, instead of turning the other cheek! - It supports the idea of taking action against those who wrong you, rather than passive acceptance of harm.
6. Satan represents responsibility to the responsible, instead of concern for psychic vampires! - This statement emphasizes personal responsibility and advises against draining one's energy on those who take without giving back.
7. Satan represents man as just another animal, sometimes better, more often worse than those that walk on all-fours, who, because of his "divine spiritual and intellectual development," has become the most vicious animal of all! - It underscores the view of humans as part of the animal kingdom, often more cruel due to their supposed superiority.
8. Satan represents all of the so-called sins, as they all lead to physical, mental, or emotional gratification! - Here, traditional sins are reframed as natural human desires that can lead to personal satisfaction.
9. Satan has been the best friend the Church has ever had, as he has kept it in business all these years! - This is a satirical take, suggesting that the concept of Satan has been beneficial for the Christian Church by providing an antagonist to rally against, thereby maintaining its relevance and power.
Temple of Set
A breakaway from LaVey's Church of Satan, founded by [former US Army PSYOPs officer and creator of the Mindwar doctrine] Michael Aquino
Here, Satan is identified with Set, an Egyptian god of chaos, darkness, and the unknown
It's more esoteric, focusing on personal enlightenment and the pursuit of the "Black Flame"
There are a few things that deserve to be called out here before we move on. Firstly, Aquino (who founded the above group) was able to rise to the rank of Colonel in the US Army despite his very public stance as a satanist, leader of this organization, and a significant number of strange claims, reports, and even police investigations that allege some extremely dark, nefarious, and outright illegal actions to him.
This can be a rabbit hole in and of itself, and I will share a thread later in this post that goes into some of the extremely dark and strange aspects of this guy’s publicly available history.
Here is just one example (of many) of charges being dropped against Aquino and a day care center employee for the alleged molestation of a 3 year old despite the San Francisco DA believing the allegations but saying the charges would be too difficult to prove:
https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1988-08-04-mn-10261-story.html
LaVey had “9 Statements” at the foundation of his organization, and Aquino led his believers/followers to focus on the pursuit of what he called the Black Flame.
The Black Flame, as conceptualized by the Temple of Set, is a metaphorical representation of the unique consciousness or enlightenment that Setians believe distinguishes them from other beings. Here's a deeper look into what it signifies:
-Consciousness and Individuality: The Black Flame is often described as the spark of self-awareness or the divine consciousness that sets humans, particularly Setians, apart from other animals. It's not just about being sentient but having a profound understanding of one's own existence, desires, and potential.
-Setian Philosophy: In Setian philosophy, Set, the Egyptian god of the desert, storms, and darkness (similar to the Canaanites’ Baal, which is similar to the Zeus/Jove, and we will cover), is revered not as a deity in the traditional sense but as a symbol of the individual's quest for self-deification. The Black Flame is thus linked to the process of "Xeper," an Egyptian term meaning "to come into being," which is about personal transformation and becoming more than what one currently is.
-Mystical and Esoteric Knowledge: The Black Flame also embodies the pursuit of esoteric knowledge, magical practices, and the exploration of the psyche. It's about delving into the mysteries of existence, both within oneself and in the universe, which aligns with the Temple of Set's emphasis on personal growth through occult knowledge.
Unlike the atheistic and materialistic stance of LaVeyan Satanism, the Temple of Set posits a metaphysical reality. The Black Flame is considered a connection to the Prince of Darkness, understood as a force or entity that embodies and imparts this divine spark to those who seek it.
-Contrast with Other Beliefs: Unlike many religious or spiritual doctrines that might see enlightenment or divine light as a universal, external force or grace, the Black Flame is inherently personal and internal. It's not bestowed but cultivated through one's efforts, symbolizing the journey towards becoming a god in one's own right, a concept central to Setianism (and gnosticism).
-Symbolism in Practice: Within the Temple of Set, the Black Flame might be invoked in rituals or meditations as a way to connect with one's inner divinity, to enhance magical workings, or to signify moments of personal revelation or transformation.
-Process of Initiation: The cultivation of the Black Flame is central to the initiation process in the Temple of Set. It involves continuous self-improvement, exploration of the self and the universe, and the pursuit of knowledge, wisdom, and personal power.
The various sects within luciferians
Luciferian satanism
Often overlaps with Theistic Satanism but focuses on lucifer as a symbol or deity of enlightenment, rebellion, and personal growth.
Luciferianism
Generally venerates lucifer not as the devil but as a symbol of enlightenment, independence, and human progression
Here, Lucifer is seen as the light-bringer, symbolizing knowledge, freedom, and the quest for personal evolution
Philosophical Luciferianism
Focuses on enlightenment, personal growth, and intellectual pursuits
It might not involve worship but rather a lifestyle or philosophy
Theistic Luciferianism
Similar to theistic satanism but focuses on lucifer as a deity or spiritual guide, often associated with enlightenment and rebellion against oppressive structures
Gnostic Luciferianism
Combines Gnostic beliefs with reverence for lucifer as a liberator from the material world and the false god (Demiurge)
Emphasizes spiritual knowledge (gnosis) as a path to enlightenment
Thelema
This is another one that may seem like splitting hairs to some, and can be a bit squirrely to understand. The man who created this was Aleister “the most evil man in the world” Crowley, who openly talked about summoning and communing with demons. Again, whether or not you believe in this stuff, he very much seemed to and others do to this day.
While the proponents of Thelema and the groups dedicated to its practice (OTO and AA, which we’ll get into later) talk outwardly about this being focused on individualism, Crowley’s own writings seem to tell a very different story.
Some that we will get into include significant detail about his plans for “magik” being used to suck the energy out of people like a vampire to channel that energy into the dark forces that he wanted to summon.
The outward descriptions of Thelema are that it is a spiritual philosophy and religious movement founded by the English occultist Aleister Crowley in the early 20th century. Thelema is centered around the concept of individual will and the pursuit of one's true purpose in life. Here’s an overview of its core beliefs and principles:
Core Tenets of Thelema
1. The Law of Thelema
- The central tenet of Thelema is encapsulated in the phrase: "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law." This means that each person has a unique purpose or "True Will" that they must discover and follow.
- A related phrase, "Love is the law, love under will," emphasizes that love is central to Thelema but should be understood and expressed in alignment with one's True Will.
2. True Will
- The concept of "True Will" is key in Thelema. It refers to an individual's true purpose or path in life. Discovering and following one's True Will is seen as the path to spiritual fulfillment and harmony with the universe.
- True Will is not synonymous with mere desire or personal whim but represents the deeper, divine purpose that guides each person's life.
3. The Book of the Law (Liber AL vel Legis)
- Thelema's foundational text is "The Book of the Law," which Aleister Crowley claimed was dictated to him by a supernatural entity named Aiwass in 1904.
- The book outlines the basic principles of Thelema and introduces the concept of a new Aeon, the Aeon of Horus, characterized by the empowerment of the individual and the breakdown of old religious and moral structures.
4. The Three Aeons
- Thelema introduces the idea of three historical spiritual ages or Aeons:
-Aeon of Isis: A matriarchal age associated with the worship of the Great Mother.
-Aeon of Osiris: A patriarchal age marked by death, rebirth, and the dominance of the Father figure, exemplified by religions like Christianity.
-Aeon of Horus: The current age, according to Thelema, which is characterized by the rise of the Child, symbolizing individualism, self-realization, and personal will.
5. Magick
- Magick, in Thelema, is defined by Crowley as "the Science and Art of causing change to occur in conformity with Will." It is a spiritual practice intended to align the practitioner with their True Will and bring about desired outcomes.
- Thelemites often engage in rituals, meditation, and other practices to enhance their understanding of their True Will and exert influence over their environment.
6. Thelemic Symbols and Deities
-Horus: The Egyptian god of the sky and war, representing the new Aeon and the principle of strength and will.
-Nuit: The goddess of the night sky, representing infinite possibilities and the cosmos.
-Hadit: The god of the point, representing the hidden, omnipresent force of life, and the inner spark of the individual.
-Babalon: The goddess of sexual freedom and empowerment, representing the liberated, divine feminine.
Practice and Community
-Thelemic Orders: Several organizations and orders are dedicated to the study and practice of Thelema, the most notable being the Ordo Templi Orientis (O.T.O.) and the A∴A∴ (Astrum Argentum).
-Rituals: Thelemites often practice rituals such as the Gnostic Mass, the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram, and other ceremonial rites designed to align practitioners with their True Will.
Influence and Legacy
Thelema has had a significant influence on modern occultism, esotericism, and alternative spiritual movements. Its emphasis on individualism, spiritual freedom, and the pursuit of personal destiny continues to attract followers around the world. Crowley’s writings, particularly "The Book of the Law," remain central texts for Thelemites and those interested in occult studies.
The Left Hand Path
This is where things can get incredibly dark, and muddled, and difficult (but necessary) for “normies” to understand. This is one of those elements where it often takes an inordinate amount of background and research to even begin to wrap your mind around the things these people talk about, because they are often based in ancient belief systems, religions, or practices.
Perhaps most importantly, it takes that level of understanding to know that the term “left-hand path” itself is an inversion away from the original intent and meaning of the “left hand path.” I’m going to try to summarize and simplify as much as humanly possible so that all can understand, so it’s probably best that we begin by explaining what inversion is.
Above we went through a high-level summary of the difference between satanists, luciferians, and thelemites. You may not know any people who ascribe to those beliefs personally - or at least you may not think that you do - but rest assured, these groups are large and some are in very powerful positions.
Despite their different groups and beliefs, one of the greatest places these groups all align is in either ambivalence, hatred, or attempting to pull power/energy away from God and Christians. Some more directly than others.
Inversion is one tool through which this is done, and is also used as a “signal” to other fellow travelers. They all practice it in some form or another, whether that be in the simple wording of things, an Olympic ceremony that takes the Last Supper and turns it into a sacrilegious event on the global stage, or the outright Black or Gnostic Mass.
The inversion principle is to take anything that is a representation of God, His goodness, or his gifts to humanity and “invert” them as an affront/insult directly to God.
Creating a “gay” representation of The Last Supper replete with a guy whose balls are hanging out of his shorts? That’s an inversion of the Christian Last Supper.
The Black Mass or Gnostic Mass being a heretical version of the Catholic Mass? That’s an inversion of the original.
The swastika was an inversion of an ancient Buddhist symbol of peace, which may have some attribution to the esoteric Thule society being the one that formed the German Workers Party (GDP) which eventually became the Nazis. More on that later.
Some could go so far as to hypothesize that the massive push from the trans lobby - changing the very sex of children permanently after sterilizing their ability to “be fruitful and multiply” is an inversion of one of the most central aspects of humanity.
The very name of these “left hand path” groups are itself an inversion from the actual “left hand path” that exists within the ancient Dharmic traditions of Hinduism and Hindu Tantra.
Most in the West have little-to-no understanding of this concept, but as I’ve outlined before the most macro fundamentals of the Hindu and Christian Faiths - not the ceremonies or names or books or depictions but the concepts themselves - are more similar than dissimilar when it comes down to a Supreme Being (one God) and the evil being the one who rejects Him.
There are many more similarities but those weeds have already been walked through in this series, so we’ll not re-hash those here.
In the 1800s a group of Theosophists (including Crowley and his buddies) took and misconstrued some of those practices and beliefs to develop their own. In the actual Dharmic practices, neither the left nor right path is good or bad.
The Theosophists needed to fit their pseudo-religion into the black/white, good/bad/ God/devil, human/spiritual dynamic, so they simply took ancient beliefs and rewrote them to fit what was needed.
They “inverted” the original meaning to fit their needs, and it only got worse from there.
Others say that the Left Hand Path philosophy came from the Kabbalistic tree of life, which we’ve also discussed in previous posts of this series.
This also can be an entire post on its own, but the ancient rabbis who began Kabbalah as a mystical search for a closer connection to God mapped out a dualistic pathway between the profane (earthly realm) and Divine (God’s place & presence).
Some believe this was the “pathway” that we travel in their and the earliest Christian church fathers’ belief of pre-existence, in which we travel between being in the presence of the Divine (heaven) and this mortal coil (earth).
The tree of life was designed with duality and to be in equilibrium; a feminine energy side vs a masculine energy side, spirit vs physical, light vs dark, etc. The theories that the Left Hand Path philosophy came from only the “dark” sides of that diagram also require them to have been extremely liberal with its creation and intention by those early rabbis.
That is an extremely watered-down version of things, but again it’s probably what most people reading this can follow. If you would like to go very deep into the weeds, this thread does an excellent job of it. I came across this account while doing the research for this post, and some of the articles and other source material that will be used comes from their own findings & posts:

The Left Hand Path Groups
The Left-Hand Path (LHP) is a term used in various occult and spiritual traditions to describe practices and philosophies that emphasize self-deification, individualism, and the breaking of societal or moral taboos. These groups and traditions often contrast with the Right-Hand Path (RHP), which typically focuses on submission to a higher power, harmony with societal norms, and spiritual unification with the divine.
Key Characteristics of the Left-Hand Path
1. Self-Deification: LHP traditions often promote the idea that individuals can become divine or god-like through personal effort, knowledge, and the exercise of will.
2. Breaking Taboos: LHP practitioners frequently engage in rituals or practices that challenge conventional morality or societal norms, viewing such acts as a means of transcending limitations and gaining spiritual power.
3. Individualism: The LHP values the individual’s path to enlightenment or spiritual power, often rejecting dogma or external authority in favor of personal experience and autonomy.
4. Embracing the Shadow: LHP traditions often involve confronting and integrating the darker aspects of the self, including desires, fears, and aspects typically repressed by societal norms.
Prominent Left-Hand Path Groups
1. The Church of Satan:
-Founder: Anton LaVey (1966)
-Philosophy: The Church of Satan is a form of atheistic Satanism that promotes individualism, self-indulgence, and personal empowerment. It rejects the worship of external deities, including Satan (although LaVay’s interview may show this to be merely a smokescreen), and instead views Satan as a symbol of human nature and the rejection of conventional religious morals.
-Practices: Rituals in the Church of Satan are often theatrical and symbolic, focusing on psychodrama to achieve personal catharsis and empowerment.
2. The Temple of Set:
-Founder: Michael A. Aquino (1975)
-Philosophy: The Temple of Set is an occult organization that emphasizes self-deification and the pursuit of wisdom through the cultivation of the "Black Flame," a symbol of individual consciousness and divinity. Set, the ancient Egyptian god of chaos and darkness, is revered as a guide for personal and spiritual transformation.
-Practices: The Temple of Set engages in various esoteric practices, including ritual magic, meditation, and exploration of ancient wisdom, all aimed at self-evolution and the mastery of the self.
3. The Order of Nine Angles (O9A):
-Founder: Allegedly founded by David Myatt (early 1970s), though the group's origins are somewhat obscure. Myatt has alleged connections to both British and US intelligence, including Operation Gladio of the US.
*It should also be noted that Michael Aquino wrote a book that included the 9 Angles philosophy, which may indicate some sort of connection between them. A shared US intel connection/background as well does not make that a difficult stretch.
-Philosophy: The O9A is a controversial and secretive group known for its extreme form of Satanism, which combines occult practices with a focus on self-overcoming, transgression, and the pursuit of personal power. It is associated with the concept of "Sinister Dialectics," which involves the deliberate breaking of taboos and engagement with darkness as a path to transcendence.
-Practices: The O9A's practices include ritual magic, "insight roles" (adopting roles or behaviors that challenge societal norms), and the study of occult texts. The group is notorious for its promotion of extreme and often violent ideologies.
4. Dragon Rouge:
-Founder: Thomas Karlsson (1989)
-Philosophy: Dragon Rouge is a Swedish occult order that combines elements of the LHP (Left Hand Path) with Western esotericism, Gnosticism, and runic traditions. It focuses on the exploration of dark, chthonic forces as a means of personal and spiritual transformation.
-Practices: Members engage in rituals, meditation, and the study of ancient mythologies and occult practices, aiming to awaken hidden aspects of the self and achieve spiritual power.
5. The Temple of the Black Light (formerly Misanthropic Luciferian Order):
-Philosophy: This group is associated with the practice of Chaos-Gnosticism, which emphasizes the worship of dark, chaotic forces and the rejection of conventional religious or moral structures. The group sees Lucifer as a liberating force and views existence as a battle between order and chaos, with chaos being the true nature of reality.
-Practices: The Temple of the Black Light engages in rituals and meditations aimed at aligning with these chaotic forces, with the goal of transcending the limitations of human existence and achieving a higher state of being.
6. Luciferianism:
-Philosophy: Luciferianism is a broad category of LHP traditions that venerate Lucifer as a symbol of enlightenment, rebellion, and the pursuit of knowledge. Unlike traditional Satanism, which may focus on indulgence or rebellion, Luciferianism emphasizes intellectual and spiritual enlightenment through the exploration of hidden knowledge.
-Practices: Practices vary widely, but often include meditation, rituals invoking Lucifer, and the study of esoteric texts. Luciferianism can range from theistic to atheistic, depending on the interpretation of Lucifer.
Accelerationists, Order of Nine Angles & Temple ov Blood
While there are numerous LHP groups and some see it as their core mission to supplant God (and His faithful in the process), there is one that has been going very hard in the paint in recent years, has a handful of its adherents currently in prison for criminal actions taken in accordance with their belief structure, and who are at the core of the Accelerationist movement, in my (and others) personal opinion.
I’ve been talking in the Shitshow Macro weekly podcasts and writing in posts for months that I wanted to put something out about the Accelerationist movement because I see its tentacles everywhere and they are getting extremely frisky. There have been several problems with wrapping my arms around how to do so:
This is not an emerging threat, it’s been festering in the UK and here in the US for decades, but only really being discussed now semi-openly.
In my (and others’) opinion, that is only because certain aspects of the US and UK governments see it as a way to (falsely) tie it to their political adversaries.
Despite there being multiple people in both nations in jail right now for heinous crimes committed by O9A members (including some USMIL service members), neither nation’s media will talk about it. People who do have their YouTube accounts nuked and social media accounts mass-reported and attacked by “troll swarms.”
There are connections to US and UK intelligence and law enforcement, with even some funding links found here in the US, which may be why the US media can’t/won’t talk about it.
I was only turned on to the scale of this issue when a post titled Where is Jade Parker by an account called BX_on_X caught my attention.
Jade was a former Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC - Tier 1 SOF) targeter during the GWOT who went on the podcast of a former 5th Group Green Beret making claims that she had been tracking Accelerationists in the US, and had identified some of those that she was tracking present at the Capitol on January 6, 2021.
When I began to look into Jade and her claims, I found another long-form interview that she gave to Loopcast, a platform with articles & podcasts solely focused on the intelligence community and those who work within it.
Shortly after her interview on The Team House (the 5th SFG guy’s podcast), Jade disappeared. Her interview specifically on Accelerationists has since been wiped from the Loopcast platform and archives.
I will explain what I can in these confines below, but BX has been hot on this trail and is focused on it like a laser and gives excellent insights into the current actions of O9A, including radicalizing teens to commit mass shootings, self-harm, and a number of despicable things.
The link to a megathread of her investigations (including the Where Is Jade Parker one that originally caught my attention) is below:
https://x.com/bx_on_x/status/1796555371898884148?t=uuMYUcuAXWOxNrGCqdxYhQ&s=19
To sum up the Accelerationist movement succinctly, it is extremism for the sake of extremism. While its origins seem to have a direct reasoning (we’ll get into it), the current movement works with the specific goal of ripping society apart through terrorism, extremism, and radicalizing its “marks” to do horrendous and unspeakable things - even young teens and children.
Yes, this is very dark, and the worst aspects of the end of the previous sentence are probably what you expect or worse.
Called “the acausal,” a key philosophy of the O9A is that evil is an agitating force that is necessary for growth and evolution, without which the world and everything within & without would stagnate. As a result, they seek limitless evil as a means to limitless evolution.
Accelerationists are non-state, non-ideological, and are not doing this for fame or fortune. If you had to put a name on it, the appropriate one may be zealotry for most. I would call it blowback, but there are reasons to believe the FBI not only funded some of this movement but may have used this group to their own ends.
Because I have been looking into this group for some time, the first thing that I thought of with the attempted shooting of Trump was the likelihood that Accelerationists were involved in some way. When it was revealed that the kid had a Discord account (where most of their marks are found & radicalization is done) along with encrypted overseas bank accounts, that probability increased massively in my mind.
*Post-update: Yesterday, Sunday Sept 15, 2024, there was a second attempt on Trump. This one had connections to the NeoNazi Azov batallion in Ukraine (who we will get into below), and global freedom of movement depsite a long criminal record and the money to buy equipment & travel despite being unemployed.
This makes the attempted shooters with extremely questionable links to intel and/or Accelerationists 2/2 in my opinion.
The Start: Operation Gladio, Combat 18, Column 88, Blowback or Useful Tools for Domestic Violence
This is totally open-source information and by no means secret (or gives away anything current), but the initial purpose of my Special Forces Battalion and its placement in Germany was to be an “emergency button” to push if Russia decided to move West across the Fulda Gap during the Cold War.
The directive for those men, at that time, was to be clandestinely inserted deep into Russia and cause so much chaos that the Russian Army would have to turn around and return home. Similar to the OSS of WWII, the job was to make them immediately regret their decision and suffer catastrophic losses of material and support at home.
Probably unbeknownst to those men in the first ODAs of my old unit, the intelligence services had their own plan and were building paramilitary forces across Western Europe to create a wall that would slow down The Bear as it attempted to make its way across the continent.
Called Operation Gladio, the US and UK intelligence services created, funded, grew, trained, equipped, and organized groups of Neo Nazis to serve as a “vanguard” willing to wage guerilla and terroristic warfare against the Russian military should they decide to move West.
While this may seem unbelievable to you, it’s actually quite brilliant. If you know your WWII history, there aren’t many groups who hated each other more than Nazis and the Bolshevik Red Army.
The Assets or Agents
A number of the initial books and pamphlets that pushed the philosophy of O9A were written under the pseudonym of Anton Long, who claimed to be the head of O9A in these writings. Some of the titles of these books include:
A Gift for the Prince - A Guide to Human Sacrifice
Culling - A Guide to Human Sacrifice II
A Practical Guide to Aryan Revolution
Formation of the White Wolves
Hostia: Secret Teachings of the Order of Nine Angles
One of the first connections between Western intelligence and O9A came when academics analyzed the writings of the group and attributed them to a man called David Myatt. When the writings indicated that they likely came from Myatt, other investigations into his background, history, and travels showed some other very interesting things.
In the O9A book Hostia: Secret Teachings of the Order of Nine Angles, the author instructs readers and potential initiates of O9A to adopt some sort of extremist ideology and join a group connected to it. It doesn’t matter which group, because the whole point of the acausal is extremism for the sake of extremism. To see how far they could push themselves and others.
At one point, Myatt was a producer of extreme Neo Nazi propaganda. It is believed that his writing influenced London nail bomber David Copeland to carry out his attacks.
Later, Myatt “adopted” Islam and began to put out similar extremist material in support of that ideology, calling for Sharia law in the UK.
He was also a Christian Monk at one point. After his “work” was done in each ideology, he would renounce them and join another extreme.
Myatt was a member of the Gladio operation Combat 18, as outed by Searchlight Magazine in 1991. An editorial in the BNP’s Spearhead magazine by a British politician make it seem like the British domestic intelligence services were running their own COINTELPRO operations using Combat 18 against political adversaries much like the FBI had been doing here at home in the 1960s.
Leaders of Combat 18 even ended up murdering someone during a power struggle for control of the group and asked to speak with the British counter-terrorism agency, attempting to use their service to get out of trouble.
Myatt was also documented as making many trips between the UK and Northern Ireland during “the troubles” period when the Irish Republican Army (IRA) was in the full throes of a terroristic revolution against British occupation during the 70s, 80s, and 90s. It has been documented that the UK intel services used the paramilitary forces of Combat 88 for some of the agents' provocateur operations in that place at that time - which some allege Myatt was either a go-between for, leader of, or participant in.
And it didn’t stay in Europe, unfortunately.
Myatt may have penned the initial works for the O9A under the pen name Anton Long, or perhaps all of these things are just coincidences.
If you want to go down this path and see if the things said about Myatt are merely coincidences or not, there’s an entire website dedicated to his writings and philosophies here:
https://aboutdavidmyatt.wordpress.com/
We do know that Michael Aquino - the same founder of the Temple of Set and former US intelligence and PSYOPs colonel wrote a piece called The Ceremony of the Nine Angles that was published in Anton LaVay’s The Satanic Rituals here in 1972.
While O9A seems to have originated in the UK, it spread here and even birthed an offshoot called Temple ov Blood. TOV takes on a strong use of war iconography, the use of Nordic runes, paramilitary rankings & vernacular, and other things that have drawn some US service members into its ranks, some of whom have been caught doing or planning to do some horrendous things.
And, of course, there is a Temple ov Blood connection to our own domestic intelligence group here in the US, the FBI.
Joshua Caleb Sutter was the TOV leader that follows a pretty similar path as Mr. Myatt outlined above.
Sutter was a Neo Nazi who supposedly converted to Hinduism and began to advocate for militancy within that ideology. Later he went on to found a pro-North Korean group here in the USA.
During his time as a Neo Nazi, Sutter ran a publishing house called Martinet Press that produced disgusting and extreme content, including a novel about the rape, torture, and trauma-based mind control of a 13-year-old girl.
As it turns out, the FBI paid him $140,000 to do this.
So why would our own FBI, CIA, and the UK’s intel agencies fund, train, and allow people like this?
Let’s go through what we know, as that’s crazy enough without having to venture into guesses or conjecture.
Many Americans that exist in the center or any inch to the right within the political spectrum have been bewildered at the FBI’s seemingly entire focus being on making American white males look like terrorists.
Many whistleblowers and pundits with experience within the intelligence community have been warning for years that when GWOT and its counterterrorism funding began to wind down, the agencies began looking for somewhere, anywhere, to allow them to continue to increase their budgets and headcounts.
The PATRIOT Act made the move internally and domestically an easy one. When you can’t find an enemy, sometimes you invent one.
We still have virtually zero real, official answers as to what the Jeffrey Epstein operation was, but we do know that it was someone’s operation. Former Trump cabinet member Acosta admitted during questioning that he had been advised not to prosecute Epstein harshly the first time he had been arrested in Florida because, as he said he was told, “Epstein belonged to intelligence.”
Putting these things together, if you were a nefarious actor, agency, or bureau trying to create a boogeyman group to justify err-increasing budgets and allowances to spy on/entrap Americans, a satanic pedophile cult that is encouraging mass shootings and teen girls to self-harm would be about the biggest prize that one could imagine, wouldn’t it?
These groups of accelerationists exist, and they seem to be stepping up their operations in a major way across Discord and other social media platforms to find & radicalize new members.
The only question that seems to remain is whether this is blowback from a previous intel operation that they lost hold of, or an ongoing operation with the purposeful intent of massive destabilization or increasing their own authorities domestically.
That question may have been given a pretty definitive answer just last year, however…
The group Patriot Front is known to show up to march and inflame tensions in exactly the right place and exactly the right time if your objective was to provide good optics for the “white supremacist” narratives that the FBI and Biden administration have been trying to push.
It’s become so blatantly obvious, due to the police escorts they seem to receive, seemingly staged reactions…and of course the first social media account that ever promoted their presence being found to be one that formerly promoted Democrat politicians like Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama exclusively.
One that was quickly forgotten, however, was a similar group that seemed to pop up when Ron DeSantis was running as a candidate in the 2024 election. This other group was led by a guy named “Boneface,” and was seemingly a Neo Nazi group that would show up just in time for the media to claim that Nazis supported DeSantis.
The reason that group disappeared so quickly and didn’t pop up again is likely because the leader was so easily identifiable due to his tattooed face and body that he was - take a wild guess - identified.
People quickly discovered that he was part of an operation that took American Neo Nazis to train and fight in Ukraine alongside their Neo Nazis of the Azov Battalion. Given that our understanding of where Operation Gladio came from and the fact that the Department of Defense doesn’t have the authorization to do that with American citizens, we can all figure out who was responsible for Boneface.
Unfortunately for whoever was running that op to use Boneface to try to discredit DeSantis and conservatives in general (as they try to do often with similar stunts), it happened at a time when the war machine and its media puppets were very much trying to push the pro-Ukraine agenda.
While it had been very well-reported prior to the US involvement in the Ukraine War push after Russia’s invasion, it was verboten in the Western press to even mention the large contingent of Banderite Nazis in Ukraine that exist today, or the Azov battalion of the Ukrainian Army that is made up of those folks.
So as soon as that connection was made, Boneface and his group disappeared.
The Nazis in Ukraine and their connection to the topic of this post, however, have not.
Thule, Nazis, the Banderites & Ukraine’s Azov Battalion
The two symbols above may seem familiar to you, or they may not. The one on top is known as “The Black Sun,” and while it has many eminations in various occult groups throughout the centuries, it is largely associated with something known as The Thule Society.
It has also been noted by many as a symbol that is often found on uniforms and/or hats of the soldiers who make up Ukraine’s Azov battalion.
The other symbol is also one of The Thule Society, and one where we can begin to see what would become known as the swastika begin to take form. This version is actually more similar to what many believe would become the Celtic Cross, which some religious historians believe was once in vary ancient times a simple circle with a cross in the middle to denote the four season of the year, later morphing into the 50 or so iterations of the cross that existed before it was a Holy symbol of Christianity.
If that makes you upset to read, please take a moment to consider that Jesus was nailed upon a cross before Christianity existed as its own Faith. That shape did not begin with the Christian Faith, but its meaning took on a very different life within Christianity. I have a note to do a post one day of the different symbolic uses of the cross throughout time before we came to Christianity, and I hope to get to that soon.
The Thule Society was (and is, as it still exists) an esoteric group in Bavaria (Germany) that was the group that formed the Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (GDP) or German Workers Party, which would go on to become the National Socialist German Workers Party (NSDAP) or Nazi Party under Hitler.
Before we get into this, I will just say that there are a lot of rabbit holes and weeds that one can venture down with this group; some are legit, some are not. As always, I will try to make this as well-summarized yet succinct as possible.
I can’t remember why, but I do know that this was a path of investigation that I went down well over a decade ago when I found out about this group originally. At that time they had an active website, email address that they responded to, and an active membership process through which they considered new members for acceptance once a year.
That website no longer seems to exist or be up, and I’d imagine it may have something to do with the media’s fascination over the past decade of calling everyone that didn’t agree with them a Nazi. When large platforms begin searching for Nazis under every rock, a group with actual connections to them probably saw it as a good idea to go completely dark to the outside world.
As much as I dislike what the platform has become, Wikipedia is actually a decent intro if you want to go a little deeper into this group than I will:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thule_Society
The basic background of the group is this; a group of secret society and occult/esoterically-aligned people came together in Bavaria (yes, where the actual Adam Weishopt Illuminati that was a real group also started) came together in the early 1900s to form what was a study group at the time.
The name itself, Thule, was derived from a Greek word used by Greco-Roman geographers to indicate the furthest north reaches of the known world, which was often depicted as Iceland by those geographers.
The group was focused on the concept and origins of an “aryan” race (yes, that’s where the Nazis got it), considering the Proto-Indo-European race as one racial group. To become a member of this group one had to sign a “blood declaration of faith” that you, your wife, and your ancestors were all of this racial makeup with no outside genetic influence.
The group wanted to know where this “master race” originated, and they believed that they identified a lost ancient landmass in the extreme north, near Greenland or Iceland, which they called Ultima Thule. They further developed this theory into one that included a place called Hyperborea, the ancient capital city of what they thought was this long-lost civilization.
Now, there are certainly detractors out there who say that Hitler and Thule didn’t have much to do with one another, and that the Nazi’s fascination with the occult was all due to Himmler.
Whoever was behind it, there were certainly some strange Nazi activities in the Scandinavian and arctic regions, with some theories on the “lost German U-boats” going so far as to say the Nazis built a secret lair under the ice and some party leaders evacuated there when they knew the war was lost.
For all the theories and as crazy as it sounds, there are some strange things that make it at least intriguing enough to look into if you like yourself a good conspiracy theory.
That Operation was called Operation High Jump, commanded by Admiral Byrd. Here’s an official writeup on that mission by The Smithsonian Magazine:
https://www.smithsonianmag.com/air-space-magazine/operation-highjump-18223476/
While there are numerous official accounts of the operation, there are probably 100x times that in conspiracy theories that talk about the mission being attacked by highly futuristic technology when they made it into the arctic.
None of that is in the official coverage that you’ll find of the operation, but there are the Nazi expeditions there that seem out of place, U-boats did legitimately go completely missing at the end of the war, and John Kerry strangely enough made several trips to the arctic on official business long before he was making money from the Green Lobby that lit conspiracy theorists up like a light.
Moving on…
The connection between Thule and the modern-day Neo Nazis in the Ukraine Army comes via Stefan Bandera, a WWII-era Nazi leader in Ukraine. The Nazis were quite prevalent in Ukraine during WWII, and the ideology didn’t die off after the war.
I’ve shared this previously, but if you haven’t watched it, Ukraine on Fire by Oliver Stone covers this history in great detail:
You can watch the whole documentary on Rumble for free at this link:
https://rumble.com/vwxxi8-ukraine-on-fire.html
So how is it that Ukrainian Neo Nazis tie every aspect of this post together?
Let me connect the dots for you, as a guy who does a lot of dot connecting:
LaVay and Aquino were close friends who started the church of satan together, with a schism leading Aquino to branch off and form the temple of set on his own
Aquino, Myatt (O9A), and Sutter (TOB) each has links to Western intelligence
Both Aquino and Myatt seem to have written at least some O9A literature
The FBI funded Sutter, not all that long before it became pretty easy to see that their efforts became singularly focused on making white male (“right wing”) Americans their target
Sutter, TOB, and accelerationists make that job pretty easy for them.
Jade Parker, former JSOC targeter, said she identified accelerationists that she was tracking present at the “Capitol Riot” in DC on January 6, 2021 - and then disappeared completely with her podcast about accelerationists being wiped from the Loopcast platform and podcast archive
While the media never mentioned it, a Ukrainian film crew, working for the same Ukrainian oligarch who owned Burisma (Hunter Biden’s “employer” in Ukraine) was present at the Capitol on J6 as well
At least one individual was pictured and identified who had been present both in Kiev during their Maidan (Color) Revolution in 2014 and here in DC at the Capitol Riot on J6
Epstein, known to have been at least a large part of the world’s largest (known) child sex trafficking network received a light sentence after his first arrest due to “being with intelligence”
It is a well-documented fact that not only is the US intel apparatus present and a major factor in the Ukraine war, but all of our most corrupt politicians have business (see: laundering, corruption) interests there
Ukraine has also been a long-known hotbed of child trafficking; again, this is not new but became verboten to mention when all systems set their eyes on pushing the population to support the war
Neo Nazis play a significant role in the O9A origin, Thule played a significant role in the Nazi origin, Boneface seems to be a link between at least the former and the intel apparatus in Ukraine; it is just my theory, but I would not be the least bit surprised to find an O9A connection with him.
The (first) Trump shooter bears many hallmarks of an O9A op or operative; given that his home was wiped clean to the point of not having any silverware, his social media footprints were wiped, we still have zero answers about who he was, but we know he had encrypted overseas banking and comms systems - I would not be surprised to find those O9A and intel connections to him, either.
Post-upate: As noted above, now we have a 2nd attempted Trump shooter who also shares many connections. If I were a betting man, I’d bet that the early move by a bystander to take pictures of him as escaped & send them to the cops + local FL police posting him being arrested are the only reason we have been able to identify all of these connections between him, Ukraine, and the Azovs.
Fin
I know this has taken far longer than expected, and likely went into some places & things that you did not expect. I’ve said this before and I will likely say it again, given the things that I try to help explain for you ladies & gents, that there are certain types of groups and operations that seem like they are almost certainly made to be too convoluted and crazy-sounding for the average Joe to follow.
This is certainly one of those. Like The Octopus Murders and the cases that it was developed from, thankfully with regard to Aquino, Myatt, and LaVay we have the benefit of decades of others who have tried to unravel the many threads of weirdness that surround them and their groups.
We are not finished with this topic quite yet, but this post is already too long and has taken too long for me to get it out, so I’m breaking what I had sketched out already into another post. That will include:
Other ancient versions of the devil
The Biblical Moloch and Baal are not the same
The Biblical case for demons - what are they?
The 3,000-year-old Ugaritic tablets - did the Cannanites create the Greek pantheon?
Did the Hebrews believe that satan lived in Rome?
Pagans (it’s not what you think it means)
Secret societies
If you’re still here with me, I applaud your endurance. I know this was a lot to digest, both in length and given the darkness of the content. Believe me, I tried to water it down because this stuff gets really, really dark when you dig into the specifics - which I may do at a later point for you with an explicit advisory warning.
But I’m going to need a bit of a break from the darker subjects before we dive into that.
Before that point, however, I’ll finish up the next post and then try to find one where I can talk about something exceptionally happy like puppies or unicorns.
Let’s hope the world agrees and nothing even darker comes up before I can do that!
I’m terrible at asking others for things, but…
It’s my intention to keep this platform free to read, but with the ability for people to donate if they are so inclined and feel the content here is worth their hard-earned dollars. These posts take quite a bit of time and research, but as I work it into my routine the flash-to-bang on new posts should reduce dramatically.
If you are so inclined and feel this is worth your time to subscribe for updates, share with others, or become a paid member, I’d greatly appreciate it.
Regardless, we’re all in this shitshow together. I’m going to do what I can to help you see the bigger picture and keep your eyes on the things that matter.
Until next time,
