Die neue AfD-Jugendorganisation soll professioneller auftreten und weniger Skandale auslösen. Doch SPIEGEL-Recherchen zeigen: Hinter der Fassade tummeln sich mehr Radikale und Neonazis als in der alten. Wichtige Recherche mit @mb-journalist.bsky.social & @johannesgrunert.bsky.social

The internet was a mistake

New piece about Com/764! But beforehand – credit where credit is due: The first time I heard about 764 was from @hanrahan.tv in November of 2021. Jake had just learned that Angel Almeida might have been a member of a group with that name and that their members "get young girls to cut themselves"

Zeer indrukwekkend onderzoek van @spiegel.de over 'White Tiger': de 21-jarige Duitser die, via het sadistische Com-netwerk, de 13-jarige Jay Taylor overtuigde zelfmoord te plegen. www.spiegel.de/netzwelt/web...

I'm excited but a bit sad to announce that I've left Bellingcat to start a nonprofit investigative outlet focused on the far-right. We're called Decoherence Media, and we're launching today.

Welcome to Decoherence Media, an independent nonprofit founded by @jennefer.bsky.social and @tristanl.ee that investigates authoritarian and anti-democratic movements using open-source and data-driven methods.

We found the exposed web server of Rope Culture, a neo-Nazi online magazine from the same Nazis behind the notorious Iron March forum. It contains hundreds of email addresses of the site’s commenters, emails sent to & from their mail server & the IP address of every visit to the site.

As part of our investigation into the Rope Culture web server, we created a search interface for Nazi forum scrapes and leaked databases called FashyLeaks. Currently it includes the Iron March and Rope Culture datasets, with many more to come.

To help familiarize yourself with FashyLeaks, read our written guide or watch our video guide.

🚨 I have been a fan of @jennefer.bsky.social's and @tristanl.ee's work for a long, long time - They have just started @decoherence.media which everyone should follow who is interested in stories about far right accelerationism, Order of Nine Angles Satinism, and every other anti-democratic movement.

More about John Paul Cupp and the larger context from which he is connected to in my article on the Tempel ov Blood: leftcoastrightwatch.org/articles/mys... and Nate Thayer's landmark primer: www.nknews.org/2013/05/whit...

Having moved in with his new "wife," her mother, and his new partner's 3 children, all of whom are Black Muslims, Cupp aka Walid, claimed to have converted to Islam and became somewhat prolific on social media creating lengthy video rants disparaging Jews and making pro-Hitler and racist posts.

Until his recent return to Portland, Cupp appears to have been living with his mother in Florida where he worked at a Wal-Mart. It appears he was able to transfer to an Oregon based Wal-Mart and moved back across the country to live with a new partner who he addresses in social media as his wife.

John Paul Cupp, Jillian Hoy, and Joshua Sutter were involved in pro-North Korea organizing. Hoy and Sutter organized under a few different Juche groups with one established as early as 2003 by Sutter. In November 2004, Sutter created the "Rural People's Party"

Cupp aka Walid, is perhaps most known for his relationship with Jilian Hoy, wife to neo-Nazi Joshua Sutter. According to the late Nate Thayer, the three met in December 2007 in South Carolina. In early 2008, Cupp fell in love with Hoy & claimed to be engaged w/her (a claim Hoy would later deny).

It's unclear if John Paul Cupp, aka Walid, is still in a relationship w/the woman he moved back to OR for as he states on social media that he is alternating between sleeping in cheap hotels in north Portland and the sidewalks by the ICE detention center.

Antisemite John Paul Cupp, who is now going by the name "Walid," has been living in Portland, OR again for over a year. As seen in this still shot from a video interview by a citizen journalist on the platform X whose account name is "Oceanplot," Cupp has been seen recently near the ICE protests.

The German 764 member White Tiger has just been indicted on more than 200 different counts. Among them are the murder of a 13-year-old boy from the United States and five counts of attempted murder. State prosecutors say the 21-year-old had a total of over 30 victims. www.spiegel.de/panorama/ham...

GERMANY/ No Lives Matter (NLM) / 764 Update on the Bad Herrenalb case: Authorities have “no information” "The LfV is generally aware of the ‘No Lives Matter’ groups and online networks. However, we have no information about actors based in Baden-Württemberg in the context of ‘No Lives Matter.’“ 1/

German authorities say the online user known as “White Tiger” was a leading figure in the 764 network. The 20‑year‑old suspect from Hamburg was arrested on 17 June 2025. He is charged, among other things, with serious sexual abuse of children, attempted murder, and murder committed via the internet.

Chances are, since there are open 1488ers in State’s executive ranks now (Darren Beattie, Mike Anton) that little will happen. But it’s important to bring this material to light & keep the Active Clubs’ Neo-Fascist International under a microscope. Thanks to Andrew for letting me chase this
