Terror Attack Tied to Satanic Child Abuse Cult
A few days ago, we reported that the Portland office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Columbia County Sheriff’s Office interrupted a conspiracy to carry out a mass shooting and bombing at the the Three Rivers Mall in Kelso, Washington.
As we previously reported, the suspect first came to the attention of FBI Portland on May 19, 2025. His identity was not immediately released, but he has since been identified as a 14-year-old well known to law enforcement.
The 14-year-old was reported after sharing “nihilistic violent extremist ideology” along with specific plans for a mass casualty event in online chats, according to an FBI press release.
Although the FBI says that he was reported by a concerned member of the public, his attorney said that he was identified by an undercover FBI agent in one of the group chats.
We can now report that the chat group in question was tied to a decentralized, transnational, white supremacist Satanist group known as 764, which is considered an offshoot of the Order of the Nine Angels.
The Order of the Nine Angels (also referred to as ONA or o9a), which has has been called a "Satanic Nazi cult," is believed to have been founded by British extremist David Myatt under the pseudonym Anton Long.
Myatt, widely considered a neo-nazi, was also an Islamist briefly, praising Osama bin Laden and al Qaeda, calling the 9/11 attacks “acts of heroism,” and encouraging young Muslims to commit acts of jihad… all while allegedly continuing to lead the traditional Satanist outfit the ONA.
A text by Myatt defending suicide attacks was featured on Hamas' website; it’s unclear how his fellow Islamists squared their ideology with his involvement in traditional Satanism, which is literal Satan worship.
Others have suggested that Anton Long was not Myatt, but rather a pseudonym used by multiple individuals, one of whom may well have been Myatt.
In 2010, Myatt publicly announced that he had rejected both Islam and extremism, although his level of disengagement from groups like O9A remains a subject of debate.
Regardless of the continued involvement of its alleged founder, O9A continues to inspire other extremists, and offshoot group 764 has numerous subgroups of its own, including: CVLT, Harm Nation, Slit Town, 545, 6996, 404, NMK, 696, XVN, H3ll, and No Lives Matter.
The FBI say they are growing increasingly concerned about the network known as 764, and have more than 250 investigations currently underway related to the group. Every single FBI field office in the United States is handling at least one 764-related case, according to FBI officials.
They are known for pushing people to commit atrocities like mass shootings as well as other crimes; according to Der Spiegel, 764-related arrests have been made in at least eight countries for a wide variety of crimes.
In November of 2021, 22-year-old Angel Almeida of Queens, New York, United States, was arrested for possession of a firearm by a felon. A search of Almeida's home turned up a bloody sketch of the Zodiac Killer marked with occult symbols and a note that it was a “covenant signed in blood.”
Authorities also found memorabilia from the Order of Nine Angles which remain available for sale on Patch-Shop.com as of when this story was published.
The Antioch school shooter, Solomon Henderson, also made references to 764 in social media posts, as well as in his manifesto. His attack in January of 2025 killed one student and injured another before he turned the gun on himself.
Henderson titled one section of his manifesto “No Lives Matter” after one of 764’s subgroups. Henderson also listed the names of domestic terrorists that he admires, including other school shooters and Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh.
McVeigh was also the inspiration for the Columbine High School shooting; Eric Harris directly referenced the Oklahoma City bombing in his journal, as we discussed in our two part series on Columbine.
The crimes tied to 764 are not limited to terrorist attacks, mass shootings, or admiration of serial killers. In February 2021, a member of the 764 subgroup “CVLT”, Kaleb Christopher Merritt, 22, of Spring, Texas, kidnapped and raped a 12-year-old girl in Virginia, United States.
He was convicted and sentenced to 350 years in prison; four other CVLT members are facing life in prison for the sexual abuse of at least 16 minors. Child exploitation is something 764 is well known for.
The groups founder, Bradley Cadenhead, is currently serving an 80-year prison sentence for promoting child pornography. He was just 15-years-old when he founded 764; he named the group after his Texas area code.
In April of 2025, Leonidas Varagiannis, 21, a citizen of the United States residing in Thessaloniki, Greece, also known as “War,” and Prasan Nepal, 20, of North Carolina, also known as “Trippy,” were arrested and charged over their involvement in operating an international child exploitation enterprise.
Authorities allege that Nepal and Varagiannis engaged in a coordinated criminal enterprise, using encrypted messaging apps to lead a subgroup within 764 known as 764 Inferno.
The government alleges that the pair directed, participated in, and otherwise caused the production and distribution of child sexual abuse material (CSAM), and that the defendants facilitated the grooming, manipulation, and extortion of minors.
Veragiannis and Nepal allegedly ordered their victims to commit acts of self-harm and engaged in psychological torment and extreme violence against minors. The affidavit alleges that the group targeted vulnerable children online, coercing them into producing degrading and explicit content under threat and manipulation.
They and their co-conspirators used CSAM to create digital “Lorebooks,” which were used as a kind of currency within the wider 764 network. The material was traded, archived in encrypted “vaults,” and used to recruit new members.
The affidavit also details how the defendants instructed others members in grooming tactics, set CSAM production expectations for new recruits, and threaten their victims to get them engage in self-mutilation, sexual acts, harm to animals, sexual exploitation of siblings and others, acts of violence, threats of violence, suicide, and murder.
Back in Oregon, the 14-year-old’s attorney said that his client did not know better and is a victim of the group. The state said the teen has had a troubled past, including run-ins with law enforcement for previous instances of suicidal and homicidal ideation.
This includes an incident where he sent photos of guns to classmates. The judge decided to keep the teen detained; his next court date is June 20.
“This case had every indication that it was imminent,” said Agent Olson. “An alarming number of indicators of a cogent path to violence were met. At no point in this plan did it appear that the suspect would not follow through.”
The FBI coordinated with local law enforcement to identify the suspect responsible for the threat, who was placed under surveillance over concerns for public safety.
A federal search warrant was executed on May 22, prior to the arrest. They seized three firearms, multiple boxes of ammunition, clothing they believed he planned to wear, four knives, and five digital devices.
The suspect reportedly had a map of the mall with plans for a route the shooter would follow. Part of the plan involved the use of an improvised chlorine bomb to incite panic in order to shoot mall patrons as they fled from a movie theater within the mall. He ultimately planned on committing suicide at an unspecified, pre-determined location in the mall.
“This plot was as serious as it gets,” said FBI Portland Special Agent in Charge Doug Olson.
Luke Baumgartner, a researcher at George Washington University’s Program on Extremism, told FOX13 that 764 members befriend children through online games like Roblox and Minecraft, then move the conversation to apps like Snapchat and Discord.
There, members convince children to share sexual pictures or videos and use the content to blackmail them into hurting themselves, friends, family members, and even pets.
“The ultimate goal for them is that no one is safe from these acts of violence or these acts of abuse,” Baumgartner said.
