(U//FOUO) United States: 764: Behavioral Indicators, Tactics, Signs (U//FOUO) According to an Illinois Statewide Terrorism & Intelligence Center (STIC) Intelligence Note dated 16 JUL 25, 764 is a violent online terror network that glorifies violence and targets children across social media and online gaming platforms using threats, blackmail, and manipulation. Victims are coerced into recording or live-streaming self-harm, sexually explicit acts, and/or suicide; the footage is then dispersed among members to extort victims to gain control over them. 764 is the common term used for the nihilistic violent extremist movement. Other groups have formed based on the 764 ideology, and the naming conventions are typically created with 3-4 numbers or 3-4 letters. 764's core beliefs are rooted in nihilism and misanthropy and also draws influence from extremist movements such as the Order of Nine Angles (09A, ONA). Symbolism and terminology associated with 09A, as well as Tempel ov Blood (ToB), frequently appear in content from 764. Many individuals affiliated with 764 also idolize violence and mass murder, often worshipping school shooters, terrorists, and other mass killers.

(U//FOUO) In 2024, 764 member USPER Richard Densmore, 47, of Kaleva, Michigan, was sentenced to 30 years in prison for sexually exploiting a child. Densmore, known as "Rabid," became infamous within 764 by creating online "Sewer" communities on Discord where members recruited children to cut themselves and engage in graphic sexual acts. Densmore boosted membership in "Sewer" by advertising livestreams of children engaging in self-mutilation and sexually explicit activity.

Then in July, the Illinois Statewide Terrorism & Intelligence Center (STIC), a statewide "fusion center," issued a frankly surreal internal assessment that sounded more like something out of a fantasy series than an intelligence report. Warning of things like "occult shrines" and internet "sewers," the report details the tactics and indicators associated with NVE groups, which apparently include: • "Tempel ov Blood" [not a typo], • "Order of Nine Angels," • "764,, and • "The Community."

Then there's the State Department's Bureau of Intelligence and Research, which in June put together its own internal assessment of the foreign nihilist threat. Warning of a "high threat" to Americans abroad, the State Department says: Members of NVE networks very likely pose a high threat to U.S. persons and seek to target U.S. celebrities or events that draw crowds of Americans. The NVE threat consists of overlapping networks based in Europe, FVEY [Five Eye) countries Australia, Canada, New Zealand, UK and US, and South America clustered across multiple social media and secure messaging applications.

That and other documents mentioning NVEs makes clear that the focus on nihilists isn't just some fixation of FBI Director Kash Patel's or other Bureau officials. The national security apparatus seems driven by the need to categorize threats, as though each one were carefully pinned on a taxonomist's specimen board

First, there's the Army Threat Integration Center, which in June issued an internal warning titled, "Nihilistic Violent Extremist Chat Group Would Likely Result in the Construction of a Viable Explosive Device." Making reference to the Telegram chat app, where it says a guide had been posted on how to build a homemade grenade, the report notes that the Army had consulted with a chemist about the viability of the explosive. What any of this has to do with nihilism isn't clear, but the designation does allow organizations to categorize threats so that when some official asks how many reports have been written about the nihilist threat, or a statistic is needed, the report's title contributes to the sense that the threat is real and Something Is Being Done! So there’s that.

In fact, federal and state organizations, including a variety of military organizations, are now focusing on the supposed NVE threat. Much of this is taking place behind the scenes in internal documents. I only know about these records because the fine folks at transparency nonprofit Property of the People obtained them under the Freedom of Information Act and shared them with me.

They came up with NVE, and by May, the FBI had reportedly opened 250 separate investigations into a single "nihilistic violent extremist" group. A new threat was born.

When I first reported on the new designation in April, I warned that the new term was a euphemism the Trump administration wanted to use to shift focus away from right wing extremism and white nationalist violence. Though Trump is fond of railing against "Antifa" and the "radical left" to the exclusion of any MAGA-related group, the FBI and the counter-terror hunters at home wanted to have a non-partisan sounding phrase for them to describe domestic threats, one that could apply to anyone from sexual predators to Luigi Mangione.

Yesterday was unexpectedly my last day in the Office. I was summarily fired via memo from Main Justice that did not give a reason for my termination. Every person lucky enough to work in this office constantly hears four words to describe our ethos: Without Fear or Favor. Do the right thing, the right way, for the right reasons without fear of retribution and without favor to the powerful. For the majority of my nearly ten years in SDNY, the hard part seemed to be acting "without favor." That is, making sure people with access, money, and power were not treated differently than anyone else; and making sure this office remained separate from politics and focused only on the facts and the law. Fear was never really conceivable. We don't fear bad press; we have the luxury of exceptional security keeping us physically safe; and, so long as we did our work with integrity, we would get to keep serving the public in this office. But we have entered a new phase where "without fear" may be the challenge. If a career prosecutor can be fired without reason, fear may seep into the decisions of those who remain. Do not let that happen. Fear is the tool of a tyrant, wielded to suppress independent thought. Instead of fear, let this moment fuel the fire that already burns at the heart of this place. A fire of righteous indignation at abuses of power. Of commitment to seek justice for victims. Of dedication to truth above all else.

The incident occurred around 4:00 PM on Tuesday, July 8, when 15-20 Homeland Security vehicles arrived at the NMPRAC without prior notice or legal documentation. Federal agents entered the museum property and refused multiple requests to present a warrant, badge, or identification.

When asked to leave the premises, agents refused and continued to walk the property, further intimidating staff and disregarding legal boundaries. This alarming incident comes just days before Barrio Arts Fest (July 12 and 13th), Colombian Fest (July 18 - July 20th), and Fiesta Boricua (August 29-31), three large cultural and Latinx celebrations expected to draw large crowds.

I think the Void suggests I do less journaling my feelings and more immediately slapping anything that has the potential to cause displeasure? . #caturday

This is a changeling table. You put your baby on this and they are sucked into the world of the fae, or some circle of hell. I will not be corrected.
Also big thanks to whoever made the demon puppet babies stare directly at the toilet. Public bathrooms aren’t creepy enough.

The family rejects the GBI’s determination of murder-suicide.
Meanwhile, some depraved dickwad did depraved dickwad shit and has been charged.
Kerlin is a volunteer firefighter in Town’s Co who took a photo of the Lewis twins’ death scene and shared them publicly,” the GBI said in a statement on Tues.
