Anton McKay Blenzig died of a gunshot wound to his head in the very early hours of 22 April 2024. A Tarrant County prosector—the official who performs autopsies—declared his death a suicide. He was 27 years old. The day after Blenzig died, someone claiming to be a family member took to the social media platform Telegram looking for answers. “People in the Temple [sic] ov Blood wanted him dead,” the supposed family member claimed, suggesting that Blenzig was encouraged to kill himself—or even murdered. (…) Around age 18, he found himself involved in one of the most controversial neo-Nazi occult groups in the US, the Tempel ov Blood. Like many extremists, Blenzig moved between groups and tested out different ideologies to see what fit his violent desires best. After at least 5 years with the Tempel ov Blood, he became associated with another Satanist group—this one called the Satanic Front. Around the age of 25, he had formed his own online group calling it “303 Nexion”—which intended to be a child sex abuse extortion group. To understand the group Blenzig joined and how they operate, it’s important to understand its origins. “The Tempel ov Blood” is just one in a long line of bigoted groups that seek to blend their prejudice with the occult. From the time the Nazi party rose to power through the present day, a section of Hitler’s followers have always couched their hatred in magic and mysticism. The Thule Society was a German ethno-nationalist occultist group obsessed with the mystical origins of the “Aryan” race. The group and their members funded the predecessor to the Nazi party and many later joined the Nazi party. Maximiani Julia Portas was a French-born fascist and Hitler supporter who, in 1932 (about age 27), traveled to India, converted to Hinduism, and changed her name to Savitri Devi Mukherji. Known simply as “Savitri Devi,” she wrote several books which heavily influenced Nazi occultism and continue to influence neo-Nazism today. James Mason has been an ideological mentor for neo-Nazis for decades. He was almost forgotten, but unfortunately was resurrected by the Iron March forums when Gabriel Sohier Chaput edited and published a digital copy of Siege for the platform in 2015. Then, a couple years later, Ryan Hatfield (who joined the neo-Nazi terror group Atomwaffen Division at age 16) initiated a “friendship” with Mason. This led to John Cameron Denton from the Atomwaffen Division (AWD) going on to republish Siege in book format. Republishing Siege this way introduced it to a new generation of extremists who took its messages to heart, committing and inciting hundreds of acts of terror. Mason’s philosophy of “Universal Order” (later mirrored by AWD’s “Siege Culture”), combined with his history of child sexual abuse and Satanism, was embraced by some of the most violent and nihilistic individuals and groups out there. THE ORDER OF NINE ANGLES One of the Tempel ov Blood’s biggest and most direct influences is the Order of Nine Angles (O9A). O9A is a satanic cult originating in the United Kingdom. It’s uncertain when the group formed, but it was likely in the late 1960s or early 1970s. O9A’s ideology has roots in Esoteric Hitlerism. This “spiritual” cult was formed by an “imaginary mysterious woman” and a neo-Nazi named David Myatt who self-identified as a Satanist and later converted to Islam for a little over 10 years. Myatt is a writer, as are many of the Nazis we discuss in this article, and has been described as supporting pedophilia—in part based on a short fantasy story he once wrote. This is a theme that runs throughout O9A affiliated “literature.” Common practices among those who follow O9A include building altars, playing with tarot cards, chanting, conducting magical rituals—new age-y satanic stuff. But the O9A beliefs also glorify Nazism, child sex abuse, and murder.

One user Musk amplified frequently attacks Black people and has said he is “impressed” by the Holocaust. In the three weeks since Donald Trump took office, Elon Musk has posted on X at the pace of an iPad-addicted child. During a roughly two-hour stretch on Friday morning, Musk tweeted more than 40 times—about once every three minutes—on X, the social media platform he bought for $44 billion in 2022.  When looked at as a whole Musk’s posts since Inauguration Day tell a clear story: The richest man in the world—who has now installed unqualified loyalists throughout the US government—is getting much of his information from far-right sources who present a world in which “Western Civilization” is in an existential struggle against Black and brown invaders. These views fit neatly within his work, too. As the head of the Department of Government Efficiency, Musk has put USAID into the “wood chipper” and supported blocking assistance to his native South Africa in defense of fellow whites. To fully understand what Musk is seeing and sharing, it helps to focus on the accounts he has interacted with. Some of the people the billionaire is responding to—Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Vice President JD Vance, and Hungarian strongman Viktor Orbán—are more or less household names for those who pay attention to politics in the United States. Others are far-right trolls and anonymous posters that only the most nauseatingly online of Americans would ever know. They are the source of some of the most extreme information Musk is taking in and sharing with his more than 216 million followers.  This is a look at a few of the posters who Musk is sharing information from, and interacting with, on X and what they have written in the past.  A Racist and Anti-Semite “Impressed” by the Holocaust On Monday morning, the anonymous account iamyesyouareno, which has more than 430,000 followers on X, called the Anti-Defamation League a “disgusting anti-white organization” for cataloging “The Racist Obsession with South African ‘White Genocide.’” Ten minutes later, Musk, who has been fixated on false claims about the plight of white South Africans, replied to iamyesyouareno. He wanted to know if the ADL still held this position on white South Africans. The iamyesyouareno account’s attack against the ADL fits with its deep antisemitism. In August, the account responded to a post asking if “jews [will] ever be satisfied with not fully enslaving the world” by declaring, “They will not.” Another post from the account reads, “The Holocaust happened. I’m very impressed by the numbers though.”
