He was a neo-Nazi occult publisher, a figure tied to some of the darkest corners of modern online radicalization and public reporting says the FBI kept paying him as an informant for years.This Rabbit Hole documentary looks at the strange, disturbing case of Joshua Caleb Sutter: his early far-right connections, his role around Martinet Press and Tempel ov Blood, the overlap with Atomwaffen Division, the FBI informant revelations, and the wider internet pipeline that helped turn fringe ideology into something far more dangerous.#JoshuaSutter #RabbitHole #InternetInvestigation #FBIInformant#Atomwaffen #OnlineRadicalization #DarkInternet #CybercrimeDocumentary #Extremism #InvestigativeDocumentary #TrueStory #InternetCulture #DigitalManipulationCHAPTERS0:00 — The Name You Weren’t Supposed to Notice2:15 — Welcome to the Rabbit Hole4:00 — Who Joshua Sutter Really Was7:20 — The 2003 Arrest10:40 — When the FBI Entered the Story14:30 — The Publishing Machine18:45 — Occult Neo-Nazism Goes Retail23:00 — Atomwaffen and the Accelerationist Pipeline28:15 — The Informant Problem33:30 — When the Internet Gets Worse38:45 — 764, Influence, and the New Dark Networks43:00 — The Question Nobody Wants to Answer47:00 — What This Case Really ShowsSources Joshua Caleb Sutter / FBI informant reporting:WIRED — He Was an FBI Informant—and Inspired a Generation of Violent Extremistshttps://www.wired.com/story/the-dangerous-exploits-of-an-extremist-fbi-informant/VICE — FBI Bankrolled Publisher of Occult Neo-Nazi Books, Feds Claimhttps://www.vice.com/en/article/fbi-bankrolled-publisher-of-occult-neo-nazi-books-feds-claim/Kaleb Cole court filing / motion to suppress:DocumentCloud — Kaleb Cole August 13, 2021 Motion to Suppresshttps://www.documentcloud.org/documents/21046907-kaleb-cole-august-13-2021-motion-to-suppress/Court records / Joshua Caleb Sutter:CourtListener — United States v.

Inside 8chan: the forum behind multiple attacks.

8chan looked like just another ugly anonymous message board.But in 2019, the same forum kept appearing before real-world attacks.Christchurch, New Zealand March 15, 2019.Poway, California April 27, 2019.El Paso, Texas August 3, 2019.Different attackers. Different cities. Different targets. Same digital stage.This Rabbit Hole documentary goes inside the history of 8chan, the forum created by Fredrick Brennan in 2013, later controlled by Jim Watkins and Ron Watkins, and eventually knocked offline after multiple attackers used it to post racist writings before violence.It’s about something darker and more complicated: how anonymous internet culture, extremist propaganda, irony, conspiracy thinking, and attention-seeking turned a message board into a stage where attackers expected to be watched, archived, and remembered.We’ll trace how 8chan grew out of imageboard culture, how GamerGate helped boost it in 2014, how /pol/ became a home for extremist content, how Christchurch influenced later attackers, why Poway and El Paso made the pattern impossible to ignore, and why taking the site offline did not make the ideology disappear.#RabbitHole #8chan #OnlineRadicalization #DarkInternet #InternetExtremismChapters00:00 — The website that kept appearing before attacks03:10 — Welcome to the Rabbit Hole04:20 — What 8chan actually was07:30 — Fredrick Brennan and the “free speech” experiment11:00 — GamerGate and the first big migration15:00 — How /pol/ normalized extremism19:00 — Christchurch, March 15, 201925:00 — Poway, April 27, 201930:30 — El Paso, August 3, 201936:00 — Cloudflare drops 8chan39:00 — Jim Watkins, Ron Watkins, and 8kun42:30 — Why “lone wolf” is too simple46:00 — The real lesson of 8chan49:00 — Final thoughts

Brandon Russell The Founder of Atomwaffen Division

Before Brandon Russell was sentenced for a plot tied to Baltimore’s power grid, his name had already surfaced in one of the strangest extremist cases of the 2010s: a Tampa apartment, two dead roommates, explosives in the garage, and the early shadow of Atomwaffen Division.This is the story of how an online collapse fantasy kept finding its way back into the real world.In this Rabbit Hole documentary, we follow the timeline from the 2017 Tampa case involving Devon Arthurs, Andrew Oneschuk, Jeremy Himmelman, and Brandon Russell, through Russell’s federal explosives conviction, his release from prison, and the later Maryland case involving Sarah Beth Clendaniel and the Baltimore-area power grid plot.#RabbitHole #BrandonRussell #TrueCrimeDocumentary #Atomwaffen #Baltimore #PowerGrid #DarkDocumentary #InternetRabbitHole #OnlineRadicalization #Extremism #CrimeDocumentary #InvestigativeDocumentary #HiddenHistoryCHAPTERS00:00 — The Apartment That Opened the Door03:15 — Welcome to the Rabbit Hole05:00 — Who Was Brandon Russell?08:20 — The Rise of Atomwaffen12:30 — Tampa Palms, May 201717:40 — Two Dead Roommates and a Garage Full of Evidence22:30 — The First Federal Case26:15 — Prison Wasn’t the End30:00 — The Baltimore Power Grid Plot35:45 — Sarah Beth Clendaniel Enters the Story39:20 — Talk, Planning, or Conspiracy?43:30 — The 20-Year Sentence44:20 — What This Case Really Shows

Martinet Press: The Extremist Book Pipeline

A small publisher. A trail of extremist books. And a story that leads into O9A, Atomwaffen, Iron March, mainstream retailers, and one of the strangest FBI informant controversies in the far-right underground.In this investigation, we look at how Martinet Press became tied to Tempel ov Blood, the Order of Nine Angles, neo-Nazi occult material, and the darker networks that formed around accelerationist extremism online. The story moves through old extremist texts, online radicalization spaces, mainstream book distribution, and the disturbing case of Joshua Caleb Sutter — a figure reported to have been both influential in these circles and connected to the FBI as a confidential informant.#RabbitHole #MartinetPress #DarkInternet #O9A #OrderOfNineAngles #Atomwaffen #IronMarch #Extremism #OnlineRadicalization #InternetInvestigation #TrueCrimeDocumentary #DarkDocumentary #FBIInformantCHAPTERS 00:00 — A Publisher in the Shadows02:15 — Welcome to the Rabbit Hole04:00 — The Name on the Spine07:20 — What Martinet Press Was Really Publishing11:10 — Tempel ov Blood and the O9A Connection15:45 — When Books Become Signals20:30 — Iron March and the Skull Mask Network25:20 — Atomwaffen Enters the Story30:15 — The Joshua Caleb Sutter Problem36:00 — The FBI Informant Trapdoor42:10 — How Extremist Material Moves in Plain Sight47:00 — Retailers, Algorithms, and Plausible Deniability52:00 — Why This Rabbit Hole Still Matters

David Myatt’s and O9A Journey Through Extremist Worlds

David Myatt’s story does not move in a straight line.It goes from British neo-Nazi politics, to the shadow of the Order of Nine Angles, to Islamist extremist writing, to a later public rejection of it all. And somewhere inside that maze is a question that still does not sit right: what happens when one man’s ideas keep moving after he says he walked away?This Rabbit Hole documentary looks at David Myatt, his role in the British far-right scene, the allegations connecting him to Anton Long and O9A, his ties to extremist ideology, the shadow of Combat 18 and the National Socialist Movement, and the wider pattern of radicalization that can move across completely different belief systems. We’ll look at the far-right networks around Britain in the 1970s, 80s, and 90s, the 1999 London nail bombings, the Order of Nine Angles, the Anton Long question, Myatt’s conversion to Islam under the name Abdul-Aziz ibn Myatt, and his later claims of rejecting extremism.#DavidMyatt #OrderOfNineAngles #RabbitHole #O9A #DarkDocumentary #InternetInvestigation #Radicalization #Extremism #BritishFarRight #Combat18 #TrueCrimeDocumentary #HiddenHistory #CultLikeBehaviorchapter 00:00 — The Man Who Kept Changing Masks02:05 — Welcome to the Rabbit Hole03:25 — A Life Built Around Extremes06:45 — Britain’s Far-Right Underground10:30 — When Hate Becomes a Worldview14:10 — The O9A Shadow18:40 — The Anton Long Question23:05 — Combat 18 and the National Socialist Movement27:20 — The London Nail Bombings32:00 — When Writing Becomes Permission35:35 — Abdul-Aziz ibn Myatt39:30 — The Extremist Crossover43:20 — The Claimed Rejection47:15 — Why the Ideas Kept Moving51:00 — What This Story Really Warns Us About

Iron March: The Forum That Spawned a Generation of Extremist Groups

Iron March started as a forum.Then its users began forming real-world extremist networks.This video goes inside the rise and collapse of Iron March the neo-fascist message board linked to Atomwaffen Division, National Action, Antipodean Resistance, and the wider skull mask accelerationist network. What looked like another ugly corner of the internet became a meeting place for people who wanted more than posting. They wanted organization, identity, violence, and collapse.We’ll trace how Iron March grew from an obscure online space into a transnational network, how its database leak exposed private messages and user connections in 2019, and why the story still matters years after the site disappeared.#IronMarch #RabbitHole #OnlineRadicalization #Atomwaffen #NationalAction #Extremism #InternetCulture #DarkInternet #TrueCrimeDocumentary #CyberInvestigation #Radicalization #DigitalCulture #DocumentaryCHAPTERS 00:00 — The Forum Nobody Was Watching03:15 — Welcome to the Rabbit Hole05:00 — Before It Was Iron March08:30 — The Message Board Turns Into a Movement12:45 — National Action Takes It Offline17:30 — Atomwaffen Enters the Picture22:00 — When the Fantasy Hit Reality27:30 — The Forum Disappears31:00 — The Leak That Exposed Everything35:30 — The Skull Mask Network40:00 — Why Small Groups Still Matter44:00 — What Iron March Left Behind48:00 — The Real Lesson
