Teenage Christian school shooter allegedly linked to online satanic chat groups | Law Enforcement Today

MADISON, WI - Days after the school shooting at Abundant Life Christian School, reports have alleged that the 15-year-old suspected shooter was linked to Satanic chat groups known for grooming teenagers to commit crimes, self-mutilation, and other acts of depravity. 

The suspect, Natalie Rupnow, who went by the name Samantha, opened fire during a study hall, killing another student and a teacher, and wounding six others before killing herself. The information about the suspect's alleged interest in Satanism comes from online researcher "Bx," who "has provided Headline USA with reliable information in the past."

In an article on her Substack, Bx explained in detail how she uncovered and authenticated information about the shooter.  On X, she wrote, "I spent the last two days digging into the school shooting in Madison, WI and can report a link between the shooter, Samantha Rupnow, and the Satanic accelerationist groups that I've spent the last 2-1/2 years researching and reporting on ... Including a link to the 764 child extortion and exploitation network."

She added, "Rupnow was also influenced by a mish-mash of fringe online subcultures (my speciality!). These influences include the TCC community, incel culture, Terrorgram, and nihilist/anti-humanist groups. Though there is no proof that Rupnow herself was an active member of any Satanic accelerationist groups, she and her orbiters have direct links to the harmful online network known as 'Com,' as well as to the 764 network, which is centered around child sexual abuse."

On Tuesday, December 17th, a journalist published Rupnow's apparent manifesto, which came from the shooter's Twitter/X account. Bx looked into the account and found that it was following at least two accounts promoting Satanism and accelerationism. Bx wrote, "But the most direct link to these groups came from Rupnow's suspected Telegram account, 'crossixir.' Her user account was subscribed to a channel called @u0kaaa, which is described as a 764 music and backup channel."

Other indications that Rupnow was interested in Satanism as well as Nazism come from her manifesto, As Bx noted in her post, Rupnow references previous school shooters, a possibly abusive childhood, and hatred for other races.

The shooter wrote in her manifesto, "Never have I once brought this up to a therapist, anyone, because nobody cared at that time nor will now. I saw things around me and I layed there on the floor not being able to move, I was overwhelmed and tired, Hard Breath, Things around me felt bigger than usual and I was faint."

Bx said that they were in contact with @slatzism, who reportedly made contact with the alleged boyfriend of the school shooter. He "provided her with the full manifesto, which was verified by having the boyfriend screen record himself opening it from a direct link the shooter sent to him via WhatsApp."

After receiving the manifesto from the alleged boyfriend, @slatzism wrote on X, "I told him I would do my best to dispel some of the misinformation and present things as truthfully as I was given them." She added, "Her boyfriend new her as Samantah Rupnow. She also went by a different name (one which was also feminine) but adopted the name 'Samantha' and this was the name her boyfriend says she had on her school identification card. She a a student at Abundant Life. She was born on November 7, 2009. She was born a female and was not transgender. Her boyfriend was born a male and is not transgender. Her manifesto was titled 'Wat Against Humanity.' Her manifesto is 6 pages long."

Among many other things, the post said, "She says she had planned to commit suicide a long time ago, but felt committing a shooting was 'better for evolution rather than just one stupid boring suicide. She expressed that she got the weapons to commit the attack through 'lies, manipulation, and my father's stupidity.'"

Rupnow's mass shooting appears to be the latest tragedy stemming from a phenomenon called "accelerationism," as noted by researchers. According to the Justice Department, Satanic accelerationist groups such as the Order of Nine Angles, 764 and their various offshoots have a terroristic goal: They want to corrupt the youth, which will accelerate the collapse of Western society.
