This violent extremist network targets kids online: Investigating the satanic, neo-Nazi cult targeting children online 🌎
CBC’s The Fifth Estate investigates a group called 764 and related organizations that form a global satanic, neo-Nazi network of violent extremists that target children online.
The RCMP have acknowledged to The Fifth Estate that initially law enforcement didn’t know what it was dealing with.
764 deliberately targets vulnerable children by prowling on popular gaming sites like Minecraft and Roblox, where members lure them into private online chats on Discord and Telegram.
Often, these spaces are disguised as safe places for minors with eating disorders or poor self-esteem.
Experts say the grooming includes lavishing victims with attention and exposing them to violent content to desensitize them. Victims are then coerced into sending sexually explicit images and to self-harm, including carving their predator's names into their skin as a sign of devotion.
Members of 764 threaten to share the images with family and friends to get their victims to do even worse, like hurting their pets, harming others and even killing themselves, all in an effort to exert control for their own gratification.
The FBI first warned the public about 764 in September 2023 amid a series of arrests, including Bradley Cadenhead, a 15-year-old from Texas who founded the group in 2020 and named it after his zip code. Cadenhead is serving an 80-year sentence in 2023 for pleading guilty to possession with intent to promote child pornography.
Marc-André Argentino, a senior researcher at Public Safety Canada specializing in extremism movements said law enforcement have located cases in at least 23 countries, and he estimates there are likely both perpetrators and victims in every province in Canada. Argentino’s research has found recent alliances between 764 and other online extremist groups like No Lives Matter (NLM) and Maniac Murder Cult (MKY or MKU). Both promote targeted attacks and mass killings and circulate so-called “kill guides” online.
The RCMP told The Fifth Estate 764 is now classified as a terror threat and that it is investigating a number of 764 cases across the country, but would not offer more details. Earlier this month, the FBI published a second public safety alert, warning of a “sharp increase” in activity among 764 and its related groups.
