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.Image
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.Image

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.

(Pictured: Excerpt from MKU's Hater's Handbook)Image
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.Image

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.Image
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.

I get it, I should let it go. But here's the thing - What happened to me was so much worse than just having a podcast appearance canceled, and it revealed a TON about what goes on behind the scenes of your favorite major podcasts.

I was truly an innocent bystander in this whole mess. I genuinely welcomed the opportunity to go on the Shawn Ryan Show to educate the public and warn them about the 764 child predator network that is extorting our kids and even turning them into terrorists.

When Shawn's producer, Jeremy, texted me to cancel (2 days before I was set to arrive), I was disappointed, but I thought it was just a postponement and had no reason to be suspicious.

It wasn't until Kyle Seraphin began baselessly attacking my character, calling me a whore and a grifter and alleging that 764 wasn't even real, that I knew something was up. I barely even knew who Kyle was when this happened. It was completely unprovoked.

I still wouldn't have figured it out if Kyle hadn't bragged to people about how he lied to Shawn's producer to get them to cancel my show. He also DMd me and threatened to continue to censor me. And it only got worse from there.

Several other people teamed up with Kyle to smear my character, harass me, threaten me, dox me, and even try to get me fired from my real life job, all because I was scheduled to go on Shawn's show to talk about 764.

Kyle repeatedly told me he knew where I lived and that he lived nearby. He accused me of child abuse and threatened to get me investigated by CPS. Then he accused me of having illegal content on my computer and threatened to get me investigated by the FBI (like, what??)

We even caught him and his friends talking to 764 pedophiles while trying to dig up dirt on me!! They shared fake images of a pornographic OnlyFans page and claimed it was mine. No, I'm not kidding!!!

Meanwhile, Shawn Ryan didn't even respond when the controversy (rightfully) blew up. Instead, he unfollowed me on X and later blocked me. He should have had the integrity to apologize for the nightmare I faced, all because I was scheduled to appear on his show.

Now he has the audacity to put out a video about 764 while pretending to have just learned about it (shock! anger! performatively banging fists on table!).

The truth is that Shawn knew about the 764 network almost a year ago, back when very few people did. He watched silently as his friends tried to threaten and censor me into silence. Shawn was complicit in covering up 764 and silencing the biggest voice in the space.

This place is not real, friends. Some of your favorites are bad actors (literally and figuratively). It's a hard lesson to learn, and I learned it in the ugliest way possible.

Learn from my mistakes - When someone tells you who they are... Believe them.

Receipts in 🧵
I've never shared this before. Here is the email I sent to Shawn Ryan's scheduler. I was distraught and confused, and even scared about what was happening. They also resisted refunding me the money I spent on the trip. It wasn't until after this whole thing blew up that they finally agreed to refund it.

Then I requested that they give the refund to a charity that helps child victims of online abuse, and they declined to do so. I sent half of the refund they eventually gave me to SOSA (a charity).

In my email, I told them I wanted to work it out with them behind the scenes rather than make it public, but they never responded, and the situation eventually went public anyways thanks to Kyle's big mouth.Image
Image
Kyle admitted to everything in a voice msg to our mutual friend. Hearing this should have inspired Shawn Ryan to reach out and make amends. To not respond to such alarming claims - That his show is being secretly gate-kept by a former FBI agent - is scary.

BIG UPDATE - The DOJ has officially brought terrorism charges against a member of the 764 network for the first time.

21-year-old Baron Martin aka "Convict" from Arizona has been indicted on 29 FELONY COUNTS including sexual exploitation of children, cyberstalking, animal crushing, conspiracy to commit murder, wire fraud, and providing material support to terrorists.

Believe it or not, there are still quite a few people out there attempting to diminish the seriousness and sheer depravity of this network. Terrorism charges are a good first start!

I'm going to include some screenshots from Martin's 39 page indictment in the thread, because I think it's important parents understand what we are up against here.

(TRIGGER WARNING! Please consider not reading the thread if you are sensitive to child and animal abuse discussion.) 🧵Image
Martin allegedly authored a manual and distributed it to other 764 members to teach then how to groom, psychologically manipulate and extort child victims. He taught to target children online with pre-existing eating disorders and tendencies to self harm. Image
In addition to exploiting pre-existing vulnerabilities, Martin allegedly taught other 764 members to use grooming tactics like degrading children, exposing them to gore, child pornography, and animal abuse content to desensitize them to extreme and violent acts, and encouraging them to harm themselves and others - escalating to killing themselves. Most of this activity occurs on Discord or Telegram (platforms your kids should NOT have access to).Image

So apparently there’s this rapper called D4vd and police found the dismembered body of a 15-year-old girl who’s been missing for 2 years IN HIS TRUNK and instead of being held in jail he’s touring and crashing out on X while police “investigate”? Do- do I have that right?
AND he wrote a song with the victim’s name - Celeste - as a title AND they found a “Shhhh” tattoo on her hand that matches his own tattoo AND people are saying they were together since she was 11 (he’s 20)?????
Ok I just read they canceled his tour, but why isn’t he IN JAIL? wtf

Trying this again: The 16-year-old school shooter in Colorado was radicalized by a variety of harmful online groups like 764, NLM, and TCC (mass shooting fan club). He was obsessed with previous mass shooters like Samantha Rupnow and followed a lot of accounts connected to the Satanic cult Order of Nine Angles/Tempel ov Blood.

My latest article explores recent trends in mass shootings and reveals some startling facts. Of the 5 most recent school shootings which met the FBI definition of mass shooting:

· 5 out of 5 shooters were associated with online NVE groups like 764, NLM, MKY or TCC (all parts of "Com").

· 4 out of 5 shooters were under the age of 18.

· 4 out of 5 shooters obtained their guns illegally.

· 2 out of 5 shooters were explicitly associated with the LGBTQ+ movement.

· 1 out of 5 shooters were transgender.

These facts paint a very clear and very concerning picture - American youth are being radicalized into committing acts of terror against their peers within harmful online communities.

Politicized gun bans would not have prevented 4 out of 5 of these shootings, which were committed by minors with stolen guns. So, how can we prevent mass shootings without compromising our rights?(cont.)Image
1. Educating the public

This is the easiest and most effective way to prevent mass shootings, in my opinion.

4 out of the 5 school shooters examined in this article were between the ages of 14 and 17, and they each had two very preventable things in common which led to tragedy - Unsupervised internet access and unsecured firearms.

This is my number one goal every time I do a podcast on this topic.Image
2. Pressuring platforms to crack down on harmful online groups

Platforms like Discord, Telegram, X and Roblox are favorites for bad actors to find and groom vulnerable youth, and they consistently fail to take sufficient action to stunt their growth.

Platform complicity opens the door for government regulation such as with the UK Online Safety Act. Such government regulations are smokescreens that claim to protect kids while compromising user privacy and setting the stage for sweeping AI surveillance and digital IDs.

Public backlash has the potential to work even better than government regulation, and without the risks. This is how we were able to pressure Roblox into improving their platform last month.Image
