    He Invented a Board Game It Tells You When to Kill

    In 2020, US Army Private Ethan Melzer leaked his unit'sclassified location, patrol routes, and troop numbers to aneo-Nazi terrorist network and it wasn't a betrayal. Itwas a ritual.He was completing an initiation requirement inside the mostsophisticated radicalization system ever built by a neo-Naziorganization one designed to make violence feel like acosmic obligation.By the end of this episode you'll understand the exactarchitecture that turns people into weapons: the Tree ofWyrd, the Star Game, and the Seven Fold Way of the O9A.The Order of Nine Angles (O9A/ONA) was built by David Myattunder the pseudonym Anton Long. Its Septenary Way uses aseven-sphere cosmological map called the Tree of Wyrd —designed to replace the Jewish Kabbalistic Tree of Life. TheSeven Fold Way runs from Neophyte to Immortal across sevenstages, passing through the Abyss, where conventionalmorality dissolves. The system is anchored in ancientHermetic philosophy from the Corpus Hermeticum — the anados,the journey through seven planetary spheres — giving it falsehistorical legitimacy.Central to the system: the Star Game. A three-dimensionalboard game invented by Myatt in 1975. Seven boards namedafter stars — Naos, Deneb, Rigel, Mira, Antares, Arcturus,Sirius — arranged in a spiral. 308 squares and 81 pieces inthe advanced version. Documented in O9A's foundational textNAOS. Every initiate builds it by hand. Its purpose: develop"acausal thinking" and make the practitioner a "livingnexion" — a channel between the physical world and theacausal realm that, in O9A cosmology, justifies violence ascosmic necessity.The system ends in insight roles — required acts of violenceor transgression framed as spiritual initiation. Ethan Melzerwas sentenced to 45 years in December 2023 for using his Armyservice as an insight role to plan a massacre of his ownunit. O9A is also linked to Atomwaffen Division, SonnenkriegDivision, Tempel ov Blood, and eight UK neo-Nazis convictedof terror offenses between 2019 and 2021.

Two minutes later, he called a 400-acre whitesupremacist compound hidden at the end of a six-mile dirt roadin the Oklahoma hills.He asked for someone called Andy.The compound was called Elohim City.

    Stormfront: Don Black’s Neo-Nazi Network

    In 1995, a former KKK leader who'd served prison time for trying to invade a Caribbean island taught himself HTML and built Stormfront.org the internet's first white nationalist social network.

    The Metal God Who Killed For Satan Then Chose to Die

    On the floor of his apartment in Hässelby, Sweden, Jon Nödtveidt sat inside a circle of lit candles and shot himself in the head. He was 31. His cult called it the highest thing he'd ever done.Nödtveidt was one of the most gifted extreme metal guitarists alive and a convicted murderer. Nine years earlier, he and a fellow member of a Swedish Satanic order called the Misanthropic Luciferian Order had killed a 36-year-old gay Algerian man named Josef ben Meddour at Keillers Park in Gothenburg. Both confessed. Both got ten years. And when Jon got out, he didn't walk away from any of it. He made a final album as a statement of faith, released it, and two months later was found surrounded by candles.Today we go inside the MLO — the theology, the murders, the music, and the pipeline that is still running right now.TIMESTAMPS0:00 The Candles Were Still Lit1:55 The Boy from Katrineholm5:55 The Norwegian Fire10:10 What They Actually Believe15:50 Keillers Park — July 199721:50 The System That Made It Possible26:50 Prison and Silence30:50 Reinkaos — The Final Statement34:00 August 13, 200636:00 Temple of the Black Light37:20 The Music Was the Door38:35 Why This Isn't OverSOURCESDissection — full band history, discography, conviction, suicide:https://metalmusicarchives.com/dissection.aspxDissection confirms frontman's death — Lambgoat, August 2006:https://lambgoat.com/news/7278/dissection-confirms-frontmans-death/Jon Nödtveidt and the Misanthropic Luciferian Order — Massimo Introvigne, Bitter Winter (2025):https://bitterwinter.org/religion-esotericism-and-suicide-5-jon-nodtveidt-and-the-misanthropic-luciferian-order/Varg Vikernes 21-year sentence / Euronymous murder — Blabbermouth:https://blabbermouth.net/news/convicted-murderer-varg-vikernes-once-again-denied-paroleNorwegian black metal church burnings — Evangelical Focus:https://evangelicalfocus.com/europe/12182/significantly-fewer-churches-are-burning-in-norwayLords of Chaos — Moynihan & Søderlind (Feral House, 2003):https://www.amazon.com/dp/0922915946RELATED EPISODES Inside O9A: The Cult That Weaponized Satanism to Create Real-World Terroristshttps://youtu.be/m06-_8yAobQ How Neo Nazis Built a Secret Music Industry to Recruit Young Menhttps://youtu.be/0l2qnVA4KRo Martinet Press: The Extremist Book Pipelinehttps://youtu.be/XyyK21R4WHoRabbit Hole covers the systems behind extremism — the networks, infrastructure, ideologies, and pipelines that pull people in.

    The Woman Who Made Hitler a God: Esoteric Hitlerism, Savitri Devi & Miguel Serrano

    The Black Sun shows up on the Christchurch attacker's rifle magazine, on Azov Battalion uniforms, in Atomwaffen imagery, across accelerationist Telegram channels worldwide. Most people have no idea where it came from or what it actually means.Today we go all the way to the root. Esoteric Hitlerism the post-war ideological tradition that turned Adolf Hitler into a divine figure, mapped Nazi ideology onto ancient Hindu and Norse religious frameworks, and built a theology of racial violence that is still recruiting people online right now.Two people built this system almost from scratch: Savitri Devi a French-Greek woman who moved to India, married a Bengali nationalist, handed out Nazi pamphlets in occupied Germany in 1948, and got arrested for it. And Miguel Serrano a Chilean diplomat who had lunch with Carl Jung, wrote letters with Hermann Hesse, and spent his retirement writing about how Hitler escaped to Antarctica.This one is long.

    William Luther Pierce: The Man Who Wrote the Blueprint for American Terror

    In 1995, Timothy McVeigh walked away from a truck bomb he'd parked outside the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City. 168 people died. Investigators found photocopied pages from a novel in his car.That novel was The Turner Diaries. And the man who wrote it — a former physics professor named William Luther Pierce — never pulled a trigger, never built a bomb, and almost never made the news while he was alive.But the ideas he put on paper, the organization he built, and the ideology he spent 30 years spreading shaped American far-right extremism in ways we're still living with right now.Today we go deep on one of the most influential and least-discussed figures in the history of domestic terrorism.

    Antifa: Inside the Movement the Government Couldn't Define, Ban, or Stop

    Everyone has an opinion about antifa. Almost nobody knows the actual history.This episode traces the full story from Germany, 1932 and the original Antifaschistische Aktion, through the American punk scene, Anti-Racist Action in Minneapolis, and Rose City Antifa in Portland, all the way up through Charlottesville, the 2020 protests, and the unmarked federal vans pulling people off the streets. No agenda. Just the investigation.
