FBI: Waukesha teen killed parents in extremist plot to assassinate Trump
A federal search warrant unsealed Friday links Nikita Casap to an extremist group and manifesto laying out plans to launch a political revolution

WAUKESHA, Wis. — A Waukesha teenager, killing his parents for money, was hoping to fuel an extremist view as part of an overarching plot to overthrow the United States government, which included calls for the assassination of President Donald Trump, newly unsealed federal records revealed.

The revelations are laid out by FBI investigators in the documents filed in March in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin. The records highlight the investigation into the deaths of Tatiana Casap and her husband, Donald Mayer.

Waukesha County prosecutors charged Nikita Casap, with killing his mother and stepfather inside their Waukesha home in February.

Casap, 17, according to the federal documents, shared the views of an extremist neo-Nazi group, The Order of Nine Angles. The records said investigators found materials on several devices from Casap's home. The group is described by the FBI as a "satanic cult" with "strong anti-Judaism anti-Christian and anti-western ideologies" whose goal is to incite "chaos and violence."

They also found documents that referenced a self-described manifesto, which described a call to assassinate President Trump, make and detonate bombs and carry out other terrorist attacks. In the three-page manifesto, the goal of the assassination attempt was to start a political revolution and promote white supremacy.

The idea of 'bringing down the government' and sowing chaos .... Unfortunately has so many antecedents - as to be almost part of the DNA.

(Charlie Manson - and his group of murderous hippie converts - were going to start a race war - and, guess what - bring down the government. Yay !

On 23 September 2019, Specialist[18] Jarrett William Smith, 24, of Fort Riley, Kansas, was charged with distributing information related to explosives and weapons of mass destruction. Assistant US Attorney Anthony Mattivi alleged in federal court that Smith distributed explosives information and was planning on assassinating federal agents with three other people "for the glory of his Satanist religion".[19] On 10 February 2020, Smith pleaded guilty to two counts of distributing information related to explosives, destructive devices and weapons of mass destruction and was sentenced to 30 months in federal prison.[20][21]

A US paratrooper named Ethan Melzer in the 173rd Airborne Brigade's Sky Soldiers, who was assigned to the 1st Battalion, 503rd Infantry Regiment, in Vicenza, Italy, in 2019 until 2020, plotted an ambush on his unit, "to result in the deaths of as many of his fellow service members as possible." He was charged in June 2020 with conspiring and attempting to murder military service members, and providing and attempting to provide material support to terrorists. The paratrooper was charged with leaking classified information (including the unit's location and security) to his co-conspirators in the RapeWaffen nexion and the Order of the Nine Angles (O9A).[22][23] In June 2022 he pled guilty to three charges and on March 3, 2023, Melzer was sentenced to 45 years in prison.[24][25]
...
After Melzer was exposed, several other active members of the US military were also discovered to be members of the ONA. Corwyn Storm Carver was found to be another member in communication with the group and in possession of ONA paraphernalia and literature while stationed in Kuwait. Shandon Simpson, member of the Ohio Army National Guard sent to quell the George Floyd protests in Washington, D.C. openly espoused neo-Nazi views and was also found to be in the RapeWaffen. Simpson told that he was planning to shoot the protesters as part of "racial holy war" and was intercepted by the FBI but only after he had already been deployed.[30][31]
...
Nevada National Guard and 764 member Chandler Harrison Pong was charged with "possessing child pornography, using a minor to produce porn and luring a child for a sex act." Pong was initially investigated for producing untraceable ghost guns, until the police found child porn in his possession. During the interrogation, Pong freely admitted to having a relationship with a girl while between the ages of 12 and 14 years. Another 764 member, Bradley Cadenhead of Texas, plead guilty to nine counts of possessing child porn. Cadenhead not only possessed videos of rapes, but also videos of children being tortured. He was sentenced to 80 years in jail.[9][107][108]

ONA and 764 member Richard Densmore (aka "Rabid&quot , a US Marine was arrested on January 31, 2024, in Kaleva, Michigan, and faced possible life in prison for sexual exploitation of a child and possession of child porn. According to the motion by the Department of Justice, Densmore would stream mutilation and sexual abuse of children.[109][110][111][112] Densmore already had a prior conviction for a sexual offense involving a minor. In November 2024 Densmore was sentenced to 30 years in prison.[83] A Lethbridge teen who is a member of 764 was charged with making and distributing child pornography and making of explosives in February 2024.[113][114] 764 member Kyle Spitze, who was involved in a domestic dispute which lead to a death in a shootout with the police, was arrested by US Marshals on February 21, 2024. According to Wired, Spitze possessed child porn of a 12-year-old girl he had forced her to partake in and had victimized a number of girls as young as 10 years old.[115][116]

... and then the nation will rise up into a white supremacist revolution, ... all because a couple of cops or some others were killed.

It is a kind of a megalomania that they are powerful enough to affect a whole nation.

megalomania /mĕg″ə-lō-mā′nē-ə, -mān′yə/

* A psychopathological condition characterized by delusional fantasies of wealth, power, or omnipotence.
* An obsession with grandiose or extravagant things or actions.
* A form of mental alienation in which the patient has grandiose delusions.


The boogaloo movement, whose adherents are often referred to as boogaloo boys or boogaloo bois, is a loosely organized far-right anti-government extremist movement in the United States. It has also been described as a militia. Adherents say they are preparing for, or seek to incite, a second American Civil War or second American Revolution which they call "the boogaloo" or "the boog". The movement consists of pro-gun, anti-government groups. The specific ideology of each group varies and views on topics such as race differ widely. Some are white supremacist or neo-Nazi groups who believe that the impending unrest will be a race war.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_Nine_Angles
The Order of Nine Angles (ONA or O9A) is a Satanic left-hand path and terrorist network that originated in the United Kingdom, but has since branched out into other parts of the world. Claiming to have been established in the 1960s, it rose to public recognition in the early 1980s, attracting attention for its neo-Nazi ideology and activism. Describing its approach as "Traditional Satanism", it also exhibits Hermetic and modern Pagan elements in its beliefs.
{...}
The ONA advocates accelerationism, and promotes the idea that human history can be divided into a series of aeons, each of which contains a corresponding human civilization. Adherents believe that the current aeonic civilization is that of the Western world, but that the evolution of this society is threatened by the "Magian/Nazarene" influence of the Judeo-Christian religion, which the Order seeks to combat in order to establish a militaristic new social order, which it calls the "Imperium". According to Order teachings, this is necessary in order for a galactic civilization to form, in which "Aryan" society will colonise the Milky Way. It advocates a spiritual path in which practitioners are required to break societal taboos by isolating themselves from society, committing crimes, embracing political extremism and violence, and carrying out acts of human sacrifice.

15. State-Supported Disinformation
Sun Apr 13, 2025, 10:38 AM
Apr 13
Abstract

Foreign actors, particularly Russia and China, are using disinformation as a tool to sow doubts and counterfactuals within the U.S. population. This tactic is not new. From Nazi influence campaigns in the United States to the Soviets spreading lies about the origins of HIV, disinformation has been a powerful tool throughout history. The modern “information age” and the reach of the internet has only exacerbated the impact of these sophisticated campaigns. What then can be done to limit the future effectiveness of the dissemination of foreign states’ disinformation? Who has the responsibility and where does the First Amendment draw the boundaries of jurisdiction?

7. I have read about the Order of the Nine Angles.

I one time had a argument on Youtube involving I believe the Paris Olympics and their opening Ceremony. Someone said it was demonic, and I said, "You wouldn't know demonic if it hit you in the face." They got upset, and I mentioned the Order of the Nine Angles. What is ironic is the Christian Nationalists say anything that doesn't fit their ideology is demonic, but yet they wouldn't know a group like this one, which is literally the definition of what they would call it.

Their bodies were found Feb. 28 after Mayer's mother called the sheriff's office and asked for a welfare check on the family. They were found in a state of decay bearing gunshot wounds.

The criminal complaint said that Casap hadn’t been present at school for two weeks and that no excused absences had been provided.

“It appears this individual was trying to flee the jurisdiction — not only this state, but this country,” Waukesha County Court Commissioner Christopher Bailey said, according to WTMJ. “A lot of these issues make the court believe that this individual had no intention to be here where he is today.”
