The Influence of Atomwaffen Division and Cult of Nine Angles
Butcher’s revelation of the lasting influences of the Atomwaffen Division and the Cult of Nine Angles sheds light on the dark ideologies that continue to shape extremist groups like MKU and 764. The “alliance” between MKU and 764, forged by users “Xor” and “Kush,” signifies a dangerous connection that fuels violence and extremism. Despite Butcher’s criticism of 764 for not engaging in enough face-to-face violence, the collaboration between the two groups remains strong as they perpetuate their harmful ideologies by encouraging self-destruction among the vulnerable.
Troubling Affiliations and Criminal Activities
The troubling case of “Tobbz,” a young German individual convicted of heinous crimes, sheds light on the links between Almeida, 764’s founder Bu, and other members. The affiliation with the Blood of the Temple trident and involvement with MKU highlight the dangerous web of connections that contribute to violent actions and extremist beliefs. The presence of individuals like Bradley Cadenhead on the original 764 Discord server points to a longstanding involvement in criminal activities and extremist ideologies.
The Disturbing Role of Confidential Informants
The FBI’s handling of informants like Sartre raises important questions about the impact of undercover operations on fueling violent far-right ideologies. Alexandra Natapoff’s insights into the use of informants by law enforcement agencies highlight the unintended consequences of relying on individuals with criminal histories to infiltrate extremist groups. The ethical implications of incentivizing criminal behavior in the name of gathering intelligence bring to light the complex dynamics at play in law enforcement practices.
