EXCLUSIVE - Madison shooter linked to Satanic accelerationism and child abuse networks
I spent the last two days digging into the school shooting in Madison, WI and can report a link between the shooter, Samantha Rupnow, and the Satanic accelerationist groups that I've spent the past 2-1/2 years researching and reporting on…
Including a link to the 764 child extortion and exploitation network.
This is only the 2nd time I've been able to draw a direct link from a shooter to such groups, with the first being Payton Gendron.
Rupnow was also influenced by a mish-mash of fringe online subcultures (my specialty!). These influences include the TCC community, incel culture, Terrorgram, and nihilist/anti-humanist groups.
Though there is no proof that Rupnow herself was an active member of any Satanic accelerationist groups, she and her orbiters have direct links to the harmful online network known as "Com", as well as to the 764 network, which is centered around child sexual abuse.
Rupnow admired other mass killers, in particular, Eastern Europeans who were motivated by extreme nihilism and anti-humanist views. She refers to Arda Küçükyetim, an MKU-influenced mass stabber from Turkey, as an "Ultimate Saint” and says he inspired her shooting.
As a disclaimer, the authorities haven't released any specific statements about Rupnow’s motives or about the authenticity of the manifesto (which I believe to be credible).
While much remains unknown, one thing is for sure – Rupnow’s case is that of a troubled and terminally online teen who was frequently left to her own devices and allowed to fall prey to toxic online communities that radicalized her.
I will break down what we know so far in this thread.
About the manifesto – While the authenticity hasn’t been officially confirmed, @slatzism was kind enough to walk me through how she obtained the info, and I have no doubt it is credible.
This is mainly due to the fact that the manifesto contained the name of the shooter, Samantha Rupnow, along with her correct date of birth. Slatzism obtained this information 5 hours prior to officials reporting it.
The manifesto also contains far too many personal details for me to think it’s faked.
Finally, the shooter’s alleged X account posted a link to this document 40 minutes prior to the shooting (though it was inaccessible due to privacy settings).
There is reason to suspect that Rupnow gave another person access to her X account prior to the shooting.
The entirety of the manifesto can be viewed in the tweet thread below.

Link to Satanic accelerationism and 764 – Here’s where things get spooky. Out of only 11 accounts being followed by the shooter’s alleged account, @postalbrained, two were immediately identified as being connected to Satanic extremist groups.
The first had the handle @Tempel0vBl00d (it has since changed handles). Tempel ov Blood is an ultra-violent offshoot of the Satanic accelerationist group Order of Nine Angles, with a heavy focus on child sex abuse and violent extremism.
Even more surprising, @Tempel0vBl00d was following me! Many such individuals follow my work closely and often send me violent threats over my reporting.
Another account being followed by the shooter, @GroidCell, was following accounts affiliated with the 764 pedophilia network.
But the most direct link to these groups came from the Rupnow's suspected Telegram account, “crossixir”, which was linked to a 764 Telegram channel.
On 12/17, the owner of the channel made a post which seemingly confirmed the connection.
Link to Terrorgram, Saint culture and MKU – Rupnow’s manifesto contains nods to Terrorgram and to a Satanic Ukrainian accelerationist cult known as MKU.
Rupnow referred to other mass killers as “Saints”, a word commonly associated with the Terrogram Collective.
Her manifesto closely mirrors sentiments and language from the MKU Hater’s Handbook, a terrorism manual full of persuasive rhetoric meant to indoctrinate and groom young readers and provoke them to commit acts of random violence.
Rupnow's favorite mass killer, Arda K., published his own knock-off version of Hater’s Handbook titled Mass Cleaner Manual prior to his stabbing spree with language very similar to that in Rupnow’s manifesto.

Link to TCC community – The shooter was obviously connected to the TCC community. TCC stands for “True Crime Community” and is inhabited by a niche group of hybristophiles – people who are obsessed with mass killers.
The teens in these groups are ticking time bombs, and many of them plan out their own future mass shootings in Discord servers.
Two recent school shooters, Colt Gray in Georgia and Dylan Butler in Iowa, were reported to have been involved in Discord servers devoted to glorifying mass shootings.
Rupnow’s social media footprint places her squarely within the TCC community across several platforms, including X, Tumblr, TikTok, and the gore website, Watchpeopledie.
In her manifesto, Rupnow praises two mass shooters well-known for their participation in early iterations of TCC – Pekka Eric Auvinen and Vladislav Roslyakov.
TCC members make video edits of the shooters set to trendy music to commemorate and celebrate their heinous acts. They consider past shooters to be "martyrs", and many plan out their own shootings to include copycat aesthetics.

Other influences – Rupnow had several other apparent influences that came from all corners of the internet.
The X account allegedly belonging to Rupnow followed the popular “incelcore” musician Fried By Fluoride. FBF is very popular among incels, but also has a strong presence in the TCC community due to their violent and nihilistic aesthetic, which often focuses on mass shooters and suicide.
Rupnow’s Telegram account, “crossixir”, was a member of a Telegram channel called Gypsy’s Continental 6.0. This channel is run by a man named Paul Miller who dresses up like The Joker and fills his feed with rants about white power, antisemitism, and violent extremist rhetoric.
Dallas Humber, the woman who was recently arrested for leading the Terrorgram Collective, was also a member of Gypsy’s Continental 6.0.

P.S. Please miss me with your Satanic Panic comments. Especially if you're too lazy to Google "764" and see that this group has been confirmed to be real by the FBI and by nearly every mainstream media outlet.
Apparently there’s a crowd of accounts on here pushing a narrative against someone named Radfemhitler. I know nothing about this account, however, my research has not shown any conclusive link to her.
The Discord screenshot that’s being passed around, claiming this account was mentioned in Rupnow’s manifesto, is not verifiable. It was posted by a person that we quickly sussed out as a bad actor, and the writing style does not match the rest of the alleged manifesto.
Additionally, the network of accounts pushing this narrative have a clear bias against RFH, and their bot farm is dogpiling everyone with an alternative perspective. which makes me doubt the legitimacy even more. This is why it was not mentioned in my research. I deal in well supported facts, not conjecture.
I’ve been asked to issue a minor correction on behalf of Paul Miller aka @jokerwaffenfren, who claims he does not *own* the Telegram channel Gypsy Continental 6.0, which is dedicated to reposting his content. It appears the channel that the shooter belonged to was just a fan page for him.
