Gen Z supports Palestine’s resistance, and this will translate into a new mode of revolutionary politics


The reaction towards Palestine’s holocaust is creating a new political paradigm, one that will bring the anti-Zionist cause to victory if we guide it in the right direction. It’s this part of the situation that we absolutely cannot miss; though there are many spontaneous developments right now that give hope for the anti-Zionist, revolutionary cause, these events won’t translate into victory unless we intervene.

To get a sense for what sorts of interventions we’ll need to carry out, we can look to a story about spontaneous mass trends being guided in a concrete direction, as described by Lenin:


What was the historic service Lassalle rendered to the German working-class movement? It was that he diverted that movement from the path of progressionist trade-unionism and co-operativism towards which it had been spontaneously moving (with the benign assistance of Schulze-Delitzsch and his like). To fulfil such a task it was necessary to do something quite different from talking of underrating the spontaneous element, of tactics-as-process, of the interaction between elements and environment, etc. A fierce struggle against spontaneity was necessary, and only after such a struggle, extending over many years, was it possible, for instance, to convert the working population of Berlin from a bulwark of the progressionist party into one of the finest strongholds of Social-Democracy.


In the context where Lenin was writing, “social democracy” meant the most advanced type of working-class politics, a trend that was genuinely revolutionary. Since then, the upholders of this movement’s traditions have needed to abandon the “social democrat” label, as it was made to be synonymous with the movement’s reformist elements. Today, one of the main forces of co-optation that’s faced by the pro-Palestine and working-class movement is the modern social democrats; or the “democratic socialists,” as they’ve rebranded themselves. If we simply celebrate Gen Z’s awakening on Palestine, without waging our own struggle against spontaneity, the new popular energy will be successfully diverted towards opportunism; both the reformist opportunism of the “progressive” Democrats, and the ultra-left opportunism that substitutes adventurist violence for actual mass organizing.


It’s necessary to define and delineate these trends; because for the radical generation’s members to defend themselves against the political sabotage that’s coming their way, they will need to know which ideas have been historically proven to derail revolutionary moments. Now is a moment of unprecedented gains for America’s solidarity movements; never before have so many Americans come to side with the Palestinian resistance over the Zionist occupier. This development was the next step beyond Gen Z’s embrace of socialism, which had happened prior to when October 7 massively opened up our discourse. There are actors who seek to divert these sentiments into Democratic Party entryism, or who propagate mindless adventurism that undermines any attempts to organize these radicalized masses. But we can thwart any effort at leading the people astray if we connect the pro-Palestine movement here with the fight that the Palestinians themselves are waging. This will give our movement a kind of guidance which can only come from out of the center of a liberation struggle.


When it comes to Palestine, all the activities of the reformists, the adventurists, and the other antagonists towards revolutionary politics are dependent on a separation from what’s happening in Palestine itself. For example: when Zohran Mamdani tries to engage in a balancing act on Palestine by repeating the Zionist entity’s lies about October 7, this is a problem that we can only properly respond to if we adopt the perspective of Palestine’s resistance. If we understand the actions of the resistance in the context of an anti-colonial war, and give up the impulse to disavow these actions for the sake of appeasing Zionists.


Within the pro-Palestine movement, this problem of capitulation towards Zionism is the primary issue we have to rectify. And we can put forth the criticisms necessary for rectifying it, without alienating the parts of the masses who’ve been drawn towards a figure like Mamdani. There is a difference between the ideological actors who obstinately defend Mamdani’s taking anti-resistance positions, and the broad sections within Gen Z who’ve embraced Mamdani even though they themselves support the resistance. We need to be able to differentiate between opportunists and people with sincere intentions, then navigate within the masses so that we can bring in the majority among them who are compatible with our politics. 


We know that most within the post-Covid generation already have the right position on the resistance; if any of them have gravitated towards a reformist leader, it’s because this leader is the only one that’s been presented to them who somewhat aligns with what they want. To isolate ourselves from these parts of the masses would be movement suicide; we must build a coalition with all who are advanced on anti-colonialism and anti-imperialism.


This is a key part of how we translate Gen Z’s radicalization into a political force that can sustain itself: do what Lenin did, and offer an alliance to those within the reformist camp who may switch to an outright revolutionary politics. It’s what the American Communist Party’s chairman Haz Al-Din did when he extended such an offer to the anti-imperialists inside the Democrat entryist orgs:


I'm speaking on behalf of ACP when I say that we don't have a problem working with and uniting practically with PSL, FRSO, hell, even anti-imperialists who are in the DSA…Wouldn't it be more constructive to work together at least on our major principled points of agreement rather than cancel and ostracize one and another over our disagreements? I saw someone say one of the reasons they like DSA is that it overcomes sectarianism by allowing different factions. I think it would be nice of ACP, PSL, FRSO and some others came together on the basis of a shared framework of principled coordination. We don't need to merge our organization's or parties but why shouldn't we keep open a space for working together? There's very few people in the USA who defend AES and maintain principled opposition to the Democratic Party. Why the bitter enmity? If we don't cooperate and join forces at some level, all we're doing is empowering the Right.


When Lenin made his offer of unity to the reformists, he did so with the awareness that this offer was likely to be rejected, or that the reformists would betray the revolutionaries when the time came. This didn’t matter though, because the purpose of the offer was to show the masses that the revolutionaries were the ones who could be trusted. At this stage American communists, and the others who share their level of consciousness Palestine, are not in a position to execute this strategy in the same way Lenin did; it wouldn’t really mean anything for us to offer Mamdani a partnership, because we aren’t yet on an equal footing with someone like him. The ones who we can meaningfully reach out to in this way, though, are the other organizers and regular org members who’ve joined groups that don’t necessarily represent their own politics. 


Reaching out to them will expand our presence in the best way that we can for now; while exposing the sectarian motives of the opportunists who seek to keep these ranks separated from us. The next step—and the one we need to be carrying out in tandem with that one—is to build dual power, creating organizations that can sustain a presence within their communities. This is how we give representation to the masses who are most advanced on Palestine, and thereby deal a blow against the empire.

The Global South will strike back, and this will be what repairs the damage from the USSR’s fall


Above: Soviet statue in Caracas, Venezuela.

One impact of the Global South’s intensifying struggles against U.S. imperialism will be to shove aside the sectarian, chauvinistic politics of formations like the Communist Party of Greece. What this will mean is taking anti-imperialist politics beyond the abstract, and making it something that’s practiced in a concrete way for all the world’s workers to see. This is the only way Marxism can be taken into the future: by breaking it out of the stagnant, self-defeating practices which have dominated many CPs since the fall of the USSR, and applying Marxism to the class struggle as it exists today.


For an example of the kinds of debates the communist movement will undergo as the Global South continues resisting Washington’s offensive, look at how the KKE has tried defending itself on the question of Venezuela. The communists who stand behind Venezuela’s revolutionary government have rightly pointed out how the KKE and its Venezuelan partners, by opposing the Bolivarian republic, have in effect aligned themselves with the imperialist regime change project. But the KKE assures us that this can’t be the case, because its camp has rhetorically opposed U.S. imperialism:


Are they unaware that the KKE has, for decades, condemned and opposed every US attack, sanction and coup attempt against Venezuela? Are they unaware of the long-standing struggles of the Communist Party of Venezuela, in all forms, against imperialist interventions in their homeland? Are they unaware of the recent Joint Statement signed by more than 30 Communist and Workers’ Parties which explicitly condemns “the current deployment of US military forces in the Caribbean, on the orders of the Trump administration, threatening Venezuela under the pretext of the fight against drug trafficking”, exposing US imperialist interventions in the region over time? Are they unaware of the statement issued by the International Relations Section of the CC of the KKE, which, as early as 21/9/2025 expressed the KKE’s solidarity with the Venezuelan people, condemned imperialist aggression and the deployment of the US fleet in the Caribbean and denounced the threats against Venezuela? Have they not seen the numerous statements, articles and interviews published in Tribuna Popular, the newspaper of the CP of Venezuela, condemning and opposing any scenario of imperialist aggression against their country?


This is a debate about form vs. content. Those in the KKE’s camp say that if they talk about an abstract form of solidarity with the Global South, this alone means their solidarity is consistent and principled. But the practical reality of the Global South’s struggles shows this to be wrong. The proof is in how the KKE’s “support neither the U.S. nor Maduro” position has not only had zero material impact within the effort to stop imperialist war; but has actively done damage to the workers struggle in Venezuela. It was because the Trotskyist faction within Venezuela’s CP unilaterially implemented their sectarian stance against Chavismo, and undemocratically shut out the members of the party which opposed the sectarians, that the workers movement experienced a grievously harmful split; a split that massively reduced the party’s popularity, and forced its pro-Maduro members to rebuild it from almost nothing.


It’s this story that proves why KKE’s position fails to embody an authentic anti-imperialist content, and only represents “anti-imperialism” in a superficial sense. I have retold it, after telling it many other times, to illustrate what the next phase in Marxist politics will need to look like. Because the point is not simply to fight the KKE, but to build an alternative kind of communism that brings dialectical materialist thought into the 21st century. Our ideological battles against the KKE and other antagonistic forces are only a means to this end.


The politics of a serious 21st century communist movement are politics that get their guidance from the liberation struggles of the Global South’s people. This does not mean we take on the third worldist position, where only the Global South is viewed as relevant; despite the efforts by our right-wing enemies to smear us as third worldists, we stand with working-class people all throughout the globe. When I say we need to learn from the Global South’s struggles, I’m talking about adopting a mode of practice where we’ve incorporated Juche; where the next version of the global workers movement has implemented Juche’s universal principles of self-sufficiency within revolution, which we can only properly understand by looking at the Global South’s liberation efforts.


Kim Il Sung wrote about why these principles are universally applicable: “We consider that if the people maintain the Juche idea and engage in the movement to give rein to independence and creativity throughout the whole world, they will be able to make rapid progress. We proceed from this principle in assessing all matters as well as in carrying out socialist economic construction. Revolution cannot be accomplished either by mechanically copying the example of other countries or by clinging to any ready-made formula. The revolution and construction must be carried out in one’s own way to fit in with the reality of one’s country with faith in the strength of one’s own people.” When we see the Palestinian resistance build a force that’s successfully crippled the occupier’s economy, or see Ansarallah free Yemen through innovative guerrilla struggle, or see Africa’s popular revolutionary movements break several countries out of neo-colonialism, or see Venezuela solidify a government that’s tied in with the needs of the workers, we are seeing such independently creative thinking be applied.


These revolutionary projects haven’t been able to get this far all on their own; but the outside help they’ve received is due to international solidarity, a core part of working-class politics that doesn’t contradict Juche’s ideas about independence. Marxism can be brought into the future by Juche—and therefore by a project to learn from the Global South—because it’s Juche that can give us the creative mindset required for solving today’s problems within the struggle. This idea of independent creativity is very necessary to emphasize within today’s Marxist discourse, because our movement has become captured by forces that actively oppose creativity. That enforce a stale dogmatism, as the KKE does in almost every area of its practice.


There’s a reason why the position of the KKE on the DPRK, and on many other anti-imperialist forces of today, is mostly unclear: for this dogmatic, sectarian element that swooped in to take control of communism, it’s not a priority to seriously study the struggles that these forces have been waging. Within this environment, we see the proliferation of many wrongheaded ideas about these struggles, such as that Juche is not universal but merely “Marxism applied to Korea.” This falsehood comes from the same mindset that’s led today’s dogmatic opportunists to vilify and slander Venezuela’s revolutionary government, while only standing with a Trotskyist CP faction that’s deservedly lost its former power.


This backward practice comes from a place of not being curious about how today’s most advanced revolutionary struggles have reached where they are. When we truly investigate these unfolding popular revolutions, we gain the creative tools to expand the current revolutionary wave into our own countries.

Big tech seeks to discard the “excess” population, but the “excess” are who will overthrow the system


To defeat capitalism as it exists in today’s United States, something we’ll need to account for is just how many of the masses have been pushed out of “normal” life. As I’ve discussed, when a massive proportion of the people born after 2000 are absolutely not on track to start families, we face an unprecedented kind of obstacle towards getting the masses organized. This is the category of individuals who big tech, the new center of monopoly finance capital, seeks to discard like past “excess” populations have been discarded under capitalism. But the way in which these tech centers aim to shove them out is also unprecedented, because they’re becoming neutralized not through force but through sedation. The solution the “tech bros” have for these left-behinds is to keep them passive through digital hallucinations, with AI pornography (largely in the form of simulated relationships) being an increasingly prevalent neutralization tool.

To overcome this problem, we can draw from history; the parts of history that have to do with how past working-class organizers rallied those who’ve been rendered “excess.” The particular manifestation of this issue that we’re seeing today—where as a rule younger people have stopped reproducing—may be something we’ve never dealt with before. But we have dealt with massive proportions of people who’ve found themselves politically unorganized, whether due to unemployment, suppression of unions, or other forms of class warfare by the capitalists. Whatever the surface-level reasons why these populations haven’t been organized, the real problem has been lack of access to a means for institutional proletarian resistance; communists are capable of organizing anyone among our class allies, including the unemployed, if we know how to build the right infrastructure.


The workers movement will either solve the question of how to bring in today’s unorganized, or lose the next battles within the class war. Wrote William Z. Foster about what an existential question this is for our cause:


The organization of the unorganized is a life and death question for the labor movement. To bring the millions into the unions is necessary not only for the protection of the unorganized workers, and to further class ends in general, but also to safeguard the life of the existing organizations…The left wing alone has a realization of the tremendous social significance of the organization of the unorganized. It speaks primarily in the name of the unskilled and semi-skilled who make up the mass on the outside of the unions, and it habitually leads a militant struggle to unionize them. It is the champion of industrial unionism and the Labor Party, the fate of both of which is bound up in the general question of organizing the unorganized. It realizes that only when the great masses are mobilized in the unions can effective assaults be made against capitalism. Hence, it is the life of every organizing campaign, and it must be such, whether these campaigns are carried on through the medium of the existing trade unions, or by the launching of new organizations.


The unorganized of today may be different from those of Foster’s time, but the essence of what they need is the same: a structure, and a clear mission. In the face of the class enemy as it primarily exists now, the mission we must offer the “left-behinds” is one of defiance against the anti-human. We need to connect with the desire that the left-behinds feel—even if they’ve become demoralized—to stop our technocratic elites from defining the future. The “tech bros” want us to concede the future to them, and we must refuse to surrender. This is the message that Marxists need to put forth if we want our movement to adapt to the new reality; the reality where our techno-social upheaval has interrupted biological reproduction, and created a class of people with no role in the future the elites have planned.


In practical terms, we should be looking to the past for guidance on how to carry out our present organizing task. We should be bringing back the unemployed councils, building dual power through serving our communities, advancing the revolutionary cause within the unions, and constructing independent worker organizations. None of these historical practices are to be discarded, just because capitalism has evolved compared to how it used to be. But these newer developments within capitalism must be accounted for, as must be their effects on family, relationships, and even platonic socialization. An ever-growing amount of the masses have been cut off from these things, and we cannot let this translate into a lack of will for joining in the class struggle. The way to overcome the obstacles towards organizing that come with this is by introducing a new means for agitation, one that’s specific to the type of inequality which our modern “left-behinds” are facing.


This is the kind of agitation where we offer those who’ve been discarded by the system a way to combat the designs of the elitist actors which are building an empire on top of the majority’s suffering. An empire of gentrifying boutique establishments in impoverished rural areas, tech monopoly headquarters next to low-income neighborhoods, and imported high-paid tech workers amid massive unemployment and dropping wages. These are the realities that the post-Covid generation sees. They’re what come about when the core of imperialism has decided to sacrifice its population via engineered economic degrowth, while still facilitating a kind of “growth” that’s concentrated entirely in profiting from a dystopian tech infrastructure.


Our increasingly post-child, post-family society is what happens after financial speculation has become the central driving force in economics, and then the “collective west” has come to have its living standards get worse with every generation. Of course, falling living standards alone don’t explain what’s happening right now, because impoverished people have been having children all throughout the history of civilization; the reason why today’s decline in living conditions has destroyed the family is that under a system built on financial speculation, introducing such a variable will kill normal human relations. The post-World War II boomer social structure was dependent on finance capital’s superprofits being sufficiently spread out among the general population; as soon as this patronage shrunk, and the cost of living exploded, starting a family became unreachable for the average person.


This is where the experience of these left-behinds will collide with the interests of those who are still receiving such patronage, and being bribed by U.S. imperialism through high wages. Beyond the aging boomers who became successful early in life, there is still an aristocracy of labor that’s younger; but this aristocracy exists in a different, more transient form than its past “yuppie” counterparts. Among its ranks are the highly paid tech workers who the Trump administration is importing from global imperial hubs, and the tech transplants who are taking advantage of the rise in remote work by moving to the struggling rural areas.


Our ruling class is deploying these lackeys for surveillance capitalism and the technological war machine; then having the media paint an absurdly elite-centered picture of modern America, one where the aristocracy’s insulated bubble supposedly represents today’s collective experience. All the while, the “excess” languish in an economy that was cut off from its industrial vitality long ago. The “excess” absolutely desire to overthrow the ones keeping them in this bleak state, but they’ll only take action if we give them the tools to do so.

Fed-orchestrated shootings, Epstein’s role in them, and the trajectory of America’s “years of lead”


The extent to which the first attempted assassination of President Trump has been erased from our historical discourse is remarkable. Right after 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks shot Trump in the ear at a rally in July 2024, and Trump avoided death purely because he happened to turn his head at the right moment, the shapers of media and political narratives began working to turn attention away from this event. It certainly would have been beneficial to use the attack for justifying some new campaign of censorship or doxxing. Yet both liberals and the right were hasty to shift towards other projects, such as the renewed effort at attacking Venezuela’s revolutionary government which Washington launched that summer.

Many have pointed out how Trump’s operation to capture Nicholas Maduro has come at the same time that Trump and others in his circle are facing intense scrutiny over their role within Epstein’s crimes. And these speculations are essentially correct, just for a different reason than such observers usually assume. It’s true that the leaders of the American empire seek to use spectacular acts of violence to quell the growing opposition towards them, from both inside the USA and abroad. But to understand the form this violence is taking, we must investigate the system of control that its orchestrators use; a system that runs on the sexualization, abuse, and weaponization of children, with the latter having a quite literal meaning. 


Ideologically and spiritually speaking, this system’s roots are within the network of Satanic cults that the Anglo elites have been constructing for many centuries now, which act as the “other side of the coin” to Christian colonialism and imperialism. These categories are part of the same system; it’s just that the role of the Satanic side is to terrorize the masses, and to maintain a system of blackmail for those who enter into the political establishment. 


Such realities have been discussed in detail by numerous commentators on the Epstein case, which has greatly expanded mass consciousness about the extent of ruling-class pedophilia. The part of this story that I will cover is the one where these abuses against children are being used to engineer an ever-intensifying onslaught of violence, mainly in the form of shooting sprees. I’ll also talk about how this war against America’s own people has the potential to spiral out of the control of those behind it.


Immediately following the 2024 U.S. presidential election, there was a lack of social disruption that sharply contrasted what many had been expecting. The last two elections had precipitated historic divisions among Americans and great unrest, yet now things were almost disconcertingly quiet. Then in early December of that year, the world was shaken by an incident of American violence that would inspire sympathy for the attacker, and not just from niche political communities but from many regular working people. This was the slaying of Brian Thompson, the UnitedHealthcare CEO who had been responsible for denying vital medical services to thousands of people.


Whether Luigi Mangione is a “fall guy” for the Brian Thompson case has yet to be determined, but Mangione immediately became seen as a figure of hope for much of America’s masses. The sentiment behind the Luigi movement is one of support for self-defense, including against the kinds of aggressors who inflict violence upon the underclass through “social murder.” It was a development that went against the designs of our ruling institutions, one that needed to be countered. And it was this newfound sense of urgency among the elites, whose plans had been going fairly well but were now faced with a threat, that gave special significance to the events that would soon follow.


On December 16, two weeks after the Thompson shooting, the Abundant Life Christian School in Madison, Wisconsin experienced a shooting that would capture special attention. This was because it had been one out of the very few school shootings in which the perpetrator was female. Among those who looked deeper into the crime, though, it also became associated with the same Satanic and neo-Nazi circles that have had a role behind many other shootings. Natalie “Samantha” Rupnow, the 15-year-old who murdered another student and a teacher before taking her own life, had left behind numerous clues about what kinds of external influences contributed to her actions. Clues like how Rupnow had been part of a Telegram channel that put her into contact with members of 764, an organization which extorts minors into self-harm and coerces them into being sexually exploited.


Writes Ali Winston from Wired about how this group gains psychological control over these children:


The abuse perpetrated by members of com groups is extreme. They have coerced children into sexual abuse or self-harm, causing them to deeply lacerate their bodies to carve “cutsigns” of an abuser’s online alias into their skin. Victims have flushed their heads in toilets, attacked their siblings, killed their pets, and in some extreme instances, attempted or died by suicide. Court records from the United States and European nations reveal participants in this network have also been accused of robberies, in-person sexual abuse of minors, kidnapping, weapons violations, swatting, and murder. Some members of the network extort children for sexual pleasure, some for power and control. Some do it merely for the kick that comes from manipulation. Others sell the explicit CSAM content produced by extortion on the dark web. “Their main aim is to traumatize you,” says Anna, a young woman groomed and victimized by 764, one of the most notorious groups under the com umbrella. “They want to make you suffer. And for you to take your own life. They really are very sadistic people.”


764 is part of a network that’s connected to the Tempel ov Blood, the U.S. offshoot of the global neo-Nazi Satanic terrorist organization O9A (Order of the Nine Angles). Rupnow’s connections to this structure of influence were not limited to an association with one Telegram user; this is evident in how Rupnow, while writing her manifesto, used language that could only have come from the ideas which 09A propagates. Rupnow referred to Arda Küçükyetim, the 18-year-old Turkish neo-Nazi who had stabbed five people in August 2024, as a “saint”—which is the word that this terror network uses for whites who kill on behalf of the race war. The system for radicalization that this network uses is called the “Terrorgram,” which provides targets with the indoctrination materials to ensure they become fully immersed in the ideology of racial genocide.


In the weeks following the Madison shooting, at least two other aspiring or successful shooters would show themselves to be connected to Rupnow, and by extension the grooming circle that had handled her. First, a 20-year-old man in Carlsbad, California was revealed to have been talking with Rupnow about planning to attack a government building on the same day Rupnow would commit the shooting. Then Solomon Henderson, the 17-year-old who committed a shooting at his Nashville school in January 2025, was revealed to have been behind an account that commented encouraging Rupnow to livestream the Madison attack.


As our society reckons with the reality of how much sway elite pedophile rings hold over our institutions, we must also confront the question: if the most powerful forces within government are systematically abusing children, could they also be using these children to carry out acts of violence, or make them into adults who do so? In the midst of the recent trend towards increased political violence that many are calling America’s “years of lead,” this question is especially important to investigate, because it lets us understand the ways that this trend could be manipulated. 


Our government certainly doesn’t want events like the killing of Brian Thompson to become what defines the years of lead; it would prefer for the prevailing developments to be attacks against the broad masses of people, as this is what can keep the masses demoralized and atomized. To figure out how this project at sowing chaos works, we need to look at the history of how its modern methods were developed, and how figures such as Epstein made the project into what it is today.


——————————————————


In his 2004 book Programmed to Kill: The Politics of Serial Murder, David McGowan illustrated the context behind what was likely the first instance of a staged American mass shooting. He pointed out how right before this shooting happened in 1972, the country had been shocked by the latest serial murder incident—that being the slaying of eight women which was allegedly committed by Richard Speck:


Just days after Richard Speck—whose crudely tattooed arm declared him “Born to Raise Hell”—was arrested in Chicago, Charles Whitman—a former U.S. Marine sharpshooter who had received training by the Naval Enlisted Science Education Program (NESEP), an intelligence entity—ascended the Tower at the University of Texas at Austin and unleashed a barrage of firepower on the unsuspecting campus. By the time it was over, Whitman and fourteen others lay dead and another thirty-one victims were wounded…The night before the rampage, Charles had killed his wife and his mother, although it was his violently abusive father for whom he was said to have had an intense hatred. Whitman had also left a note, which read in part: “I don’t quite understand what is compelling me to type this note. I have been to a psychiatrist. I have been having fears and violent impulses.” Along with the note, he reportedly left a roll of exposed film with instructions to develop it after his death. 


Both of these mass murders, one in Chicago, Illinois and one in Austin, Texas, took place just weeks after Anton LaVey had formally established the Church of Satan and declared April 30, 1966 to be the first day of the Age of Satan. Whitman’s rampage occurred on August 1 —Lammas on the occult calendar. Just three weeks prior to LaVey’s pronouncement, long-time CIA asset Henry Luce’s venerable Time magazine had asked its readers the symbolic question: “Is God Dead?”


McGowan concluded that these events surrounding Whitman’s attack were relevant to it, and indicative of a greater design to terrorize society, because based off of his research this was a perfectly logical idea. Programmed to Kill’s thesis is that when you look at the circumstances and evidence around the 20th century’s alleged serial killer cases, it becomes apparent that the “serial killer” phenomenon is a manufactured psyop, designed as a cover for covert CIA operations. Operations that replicate the methods the United States has used for waging war against the peoples of Vietnam, El Salvador, and the other countries where Washington has worked to create mass-scale trauma by committing gruesome murders. According to the story that McGowan pieces together, the famous “serial killers” of the post-World War II 20th century were all merely figureheads for a hidden network of coordinated killings, one that works in tandem with the globe’s child trafficking operations.


None of them acted alone; even when the killers had participated in the crimes, they did so while being enabled by law enforcement, as in the case of Dahmer. In cases like that of Bundy, many of the murders couldn’t plausibly have been committed by the figurehead, meaning a hidden team had been responsible for many or most of the murders. In cases like that of Speck, the evidence supposedly tying the accused to the murders didn’t even make sense, meaning that the supposed serial killer was nothing more than a patsy for explaining murders which had gone unsolved (and perhaps weren’t meant to be solved). What consistently appears throughout the examples McGowan goes through, though, are stories in which people grow up being seriously mistreated, and then thereby come into contact with aspects of our society’s institutional systems for troubled youth. Systems like the military, the prisons, and the psychiatric care centers, which could easily gain opportunities for involving these already traumatized individuals in the cold war’s mind control experiments. Experiments that the CIA invested in not just to create spies, but to create soldiers who could emotionlessly kill via the influence of hypnotic commands.


Using the same infrastructure that’s been behind the efforts to transport and sexually abuse children, U.S. intelligence, military, law enforcement, and political institutions have created a machine for funneling vulnerable individuals into a life path where they can be made into these figureheads. And a critical part of this assimilation process has been psychological abuse against these individuals, often of the same kinds that come from a child being sexually assaulted. 


This practice of calculated abuse, posits the book, is what explains the recurring phenomenon where those who’ve participated in these crimes have had a tendency to disassociate. Such was the case for Kemper, Dahmer, and numerous others. And though this doesn’t necessarily mean they had all been molested as children—though plenty of them absolutely were—it did mean that they couldn’t have come to such a state without being subjected to some type of trauma. Because for someone who hasn’t previously experienced a dissociative disorder, essentially the only way that they could be brought towards “multiple personality disorder” is through trauma that the mind cannot tolerate, and that it responds to by retreating into a new persona.


It’s with this context that we can understand the methods which O9A, and its international branches, use for turning its grooming targets into killers. Between the original CIA mind control experiments, and the strategic psychological attacks carried out by groups such as 746, the procedures follow the same outline. There’s even a verifiable link between U.S. intelligence, and this modern Satanic network that’s adapted the mind control model for the online age. Reports Events in Ukraine on the federal agents who’ve been coordinating O9A’s activities within the Ukraine war and other U.S. operations:


Today’s first topic is the British founder of the O9A, David Myatt, and his links with British intelligence. Like most bad things, it all started in England. And naturally, it metastasized in the USA. Today’s second character is Joshua Sutter, the proven (and proud) FBI agent who did the most to transform O9A philosophy into a global propaganda machine for the creation of school shooters, child abusers and serial killers. It should be noted that both Sutter and Myatt have not simply significantly influenced neo-nazis in the post-soviet world. They also seem to actively cooperate with them. In fact, Sutter was actually invited to the 2018 ‘Pact of Steel’ conference in Kyiv by Ukraine’s Azov movement. Azov is now Ukraine’s most well-known military unit (actually a number of units), which is feted by the government and liberal press as the undisputed masters of war, the only figures capable of saving the country and reforming the army. Back in 2018, Sutter brought along with him members of Atomwaffen, a US-based neo-nazi rightwing accelerationist organization. Some also claim that Myatt was also present at the conference.


O9A has served a key role in the transition towards the modern version of the last century’s “serial killer” operations. A transition in which the standard form of domestic governmental terror is no longer ritualized homicides that happen over the course of days, weeks, or years, but rather rapid shooting attacks of the kind that Whitman carried out. And where, in a large proportion of cases, the ones who’ve been programmed to kill are children which have been roped into the system’s grooming networks.

When Nikolas Cruz—the perpetrator of the 2018 Parkland shooting—had his search history read out in court, some familiar trends emerged. In between when the 19-year-old Cruz had been trying to find child pornography, or looking up Nazi songs and paraphernalia, Cruz had typed in: “How to do a Satanic ritual.” 


Upon looking at the life Cruz had been experiencing during his most psychologically formative years, it becomes more apparent how he had been led to these types of thinking, and to the actions which came after them. It also becomes clear that authorities had at least sought to minimize what was happening to him. In 2016, when the Florida Department of Health and Families was called upon to investigate accusations that Cruz was being victimized by his mother, the DHF asserted that it found “no indicators of abuse or neglect as alleged.” It also reported that Cruz was receiving mental health treatment and medication from an independent behavioral health organization.


If Cruz had been approached by federal agents during his experiences with the mental healthcare system, or during his attempted ventures into online white supremacist and child porn communities, this would have only been a continuation of the established practice in which mind control experimenters have sought out susceptible individuals. It also wouldn’t have been a deviation from the FBI’s “War on Terror” practice in which agents regularly manipulate mentally ill or disabled people into going along with plans for terrorist attacks, and then the FBI busts them so that it can claim to have stopped numerous terror plots.


During these sting operations, the agents are fully in control of the situation, with the targets merely acting as puppets for their suggestions; but according to the conventional logic of American law enforcement, these plots were going to happen regardless, as the guilty parties are assumed to have already been on the path to murder. How many of the shootings that we’ve seen in this last generation have simply been versions of these setups in which the manipulation target, rather than being foiled, was allowed to actually realize the violent plans the handlers placed into their minds?


This is the new standard model for domestic covert operations: radicalize vulnerable individuals into killing, using a combination of the old mind control tactics and indoctrination which makes someone consciously glorify the idea of violence. Something important to note about the latter tactic is that when you’re trying to get somebody to genuinely believe in an idea, it’s best to start doing so when the person is still a child. This is a basic fact about brain maturity, one that pedophiles obviously take advantage of—and that, in the last thirty years, has also increasingly been taken advantage of by the mind controllers who were behind the “serial killer” trend.


It was within this new project of the internet age, where children were to largely replace adults as the assigned perpetrators of mass murder, that the network Epstein was part of could be put to use. Epstein was not the one who created the infrastructure of child trafficking, and it didn’t go away when he left the picture; Epstein was only assigned to facilitate one part of these operations by what many speculate to have primarily been Israeli intelligence. These connections to Israel have been confirmed; Israeli Directorate of Military Intelligence Ari Ben-Menashe has said that Epstein and Gislaine Maxwell were working with Israel’s military intelligence as far back as the 1980s. The public is already widely aware of Epstein’s links to Israel, and of the blackmail operations that wealthy pedophiles like Epstein are instrumental in facilitating. The deeper part of this story is that Epstein, and the powerful Zionist figures who he was working with, have also played a part in the project to weaponize children.


Epstein’s role in this project was to advance the methods for manipulation that have been instrumental in the efforts to recruit children into becoming weapons; methods where grooming victims take on the role of bringing other children under the manipulator’s control. This is a standard way that human traffickers gain sexual slaves: by using proxies to deceive the targets into believing that if they take on the job the trafficker offers, they’ll gain access to a better life, and won’t be abused at all. The ideal recruiters are peers of the targets in age, and Satanic cults like Tempel ov Blood are undoubtedly aware of this. When they cultivate online communities filled with teens who are experiencing mental health crises, and who share a desire for suicide which goes along with murder, they’re applying the tactics Epstein used when he had underage girls bring other girls into the trafficking ring.


The bigger role that Epstein had in this, though, and the one which shows his methods to be linked with these domestic covert ops, is the role where Epstein let financial monopolies gain special market access. In terms of foreign policy and global banking, the practical purpose of sexual abuse operations like Epstein’s is to ensure that Washington can maintain a system of control in international diplomacy; this is why, as discussed in Programmed to Kill, U.S. State Department officials are consistently supplied with child sex slaves so that they can be blackmailed. Such tools for internally enforcing a consensus are instrumental in U.S. foreign policy, with the Zionist lobby being the most prevalent and infamous example of this. And the central driving force behind this entire structure of control—that being financial speculation—has been revealed to be connected with orchestrated murder in ways more direct than anyone could have guessed.


After Thomas Crooks was killed at the scene of his crime, and tech platforms made an effort to erase his online footprint, we found out several notable things about him: that he had been using a special encrypted accounts overseas, that he had been featured in a commercial for BlackRock at his high school in 2022, and that he had searched for major depressive disorder. We know little else of his background, but with the context of history, it isn’t hard to piece together a likely story about how he’d come to where he ended up. If the people Crooks had been talking to through these encrypted platforms were federal agents, these agents would have long been able to detect that he was somebody with the kinds of psychological vulnerabilities they’re looking for. And BlackRock’s visit to his school was indicative of this, because BlackRock has close ties to U.S. intelligence.


BlackRock, Blackstone, and the other biggest financial monopolies are some of the most common places for former CIA officials to start careers in. The appeal of these firms is in how when you’ve already gained access to high-level intelligence clearance, and therefore know which countries the U.S. is planning to target next, you’ll know where to place your firm’s international investments. This is no doubt the calculation process that these financial institutions are making right now in regards to Venezuela, Iran, and the other places where Washington is seeking to forcibly open up new capital.


If BlackRock had a role in the plot to assassinate Trump, it did so because the faction of the intelligence community which controls BlackRock wasn’t confident Trump would have the will to carry through the next big imperialist plans. But if there were a consensus within our deep state that Trump needed to go, Trump wouldn’t have been allowed to win, because the CIA is certainly capable of assassinating a U.S. president when it has sufficient internal desire to. The Crooks shooting was not something that’s since been repeated, and this is no doubt because Trump has proven himself to be willing to fully submit to the blackmail structure. A fissure within the ruling establishment was repaired, and the second Trump administration carried out what’s essentially been a more extreme version of Biden’s policies. The genocide against Gaza has been accelerated, the war against Russia has continued, and new wars have been launched against several countries.


The U.S. government has felt secure in pursuing these escalations because the American people are so unorganized at this stage, their ruling class feels it can act without any real concern for public opinion. Yet the Luigi movement has proven that though the mass organization is not yet there, there is a mass revolutionary sentiment. This is no doubt why when a man went into Blackstone’s headquarters in July 2025, and shot the firm’s CEO, the media decided to minimize coverage of the event while portraying the attacker’s motive as apolitical. Our ruling institutions do not want us to have a conversation about how these financial firms have destroyed so many people’s lives, in a way equivalent to how the healthcare industry has. What they want us to focus on is the fear that comes from when our government’s terror operations get activated, and our communities experience traumatic assaults against the innocent.


In August 2025, soon after the Blackstone shooting and in the midst of new plans for war escalations, one of these operations was able to shock our society in a way that will last. (At least as much as these events can last in our memories during an era when they’ve become so frequent.) Minneapolis, a city which has functioned as a hotbed for state-created tragedies with George Floyd’s killing and the murder of Renee Good, saw one of its Catholic schools attacked by a 23-year-old shooter. Robin Westman, who killed two children and injured 17, had left behind indications of how far the project at influencing vulnerable youths has gotten since the old “serial killer” era. 


What stands out about Westman is that in addition to having described a life of severe depression, and having trafficked within the same Satanic neo-Nazi circles other shooters have, Westman admitted to being a regretful transitioner. “Tired of being trans” was one of Westman’s named motivations, with this translating into a hatred towards humanity that would become concentrated in certain areas that Westman’s influences steered their target towards. An example of this was found in one of the statements Westman wrote on the gun, which read: “Kill Donald Trump.”


It is uncertain whether Westman had ever been prescribed SSRI drugs, but even if this wasn’t the case, this story includes a different kind of failure by our physical and mental healthcare systems: the problem of individuals who transition not having truly informed consent beforehand, and being set on a path that they can’t go back on if they regret it. This problem has opened up an entire new frontier for mind control operations, with new kinds of opportunities to influence the targets. The goal, in the broadest terms, is to turn our “years of lead” in a trajectory that makes our society unable to handle the trauma it’s experiencing. Like the minds of individuals such as Westman haven’t been able to carry the weight forced onto them, these operations are about making us break as a collective, and accept the next actions by our ruling elites.


An example of someone who our medical system has failed, but who has been able to carry the weight which comes from this, is Luigi Mangione. Mangione had undergone a back surgery that wasn’t done properly, as observed by surgeons who’ve weighed in on his case. The chronic pain from this left him isolated and in despair, which an entire society of people could relate to. This has earned Luigi admirers who’ve reached out to him while in prison, including one person who wrote to him asking: “How do you remain so chill?” Luigi replied: “Jules, I spent 1 ½ years living on a broken spine that I could feel sliding around every time I stood up, walked, or rolled over in bed. To exist in such a state—your physical being split in two—is an endless mental and physical war within itself. After you have fought and won internal wars, nothing External—nothing—can ever phase you.” This is a lesson that can assist us in the next phases of popular struggle, where the apparatus will intensify its attempts to terrorize us. Luigi has provided hope to millions, and the movement behind him will sustain that hope until the American people have won this battle.
