Profile facts
In context
The Order of Nine Angles is a decentralised, secretive occult network whose published 'Mass of Heresy' and other texts call explicitly for 'culling' (murder) of selected victims and infiltration of police, military, and politics for accelerationist purposes. Multiple members have been convicted of terrorism — including Atomwaffen-related figures and the UK's Andrew Dymock (2021). The group has been investigated by counter-terrorism units in the UK, USA, and Europe.
