An inside look at the ‘Satanic, neo-Nazi’ pedophile cult that ensnared NYC man arrested on gun charges

A Satanic pedophile cult uncovered by the FBI after the arrest of a Queens man two years ago is an offshoot of a much older neo-Nazi organization that wants to destroy Western civilization, according to an overseas nonprofit that’s been tracking the hate group.

Federal authorities stumbled upon the newer group – which is named “764” but goes by a number of aliases – while investigating Angel Almeida, a 23-year-old convicted felon from Queens who was busted with a gun in November 2021.

The loosely organized commune of creeps appears to be intensely interested in targeting kids on the internet, then threatening, intimidating or blackmailing them into recording acts of self-mutilation, animal abuse, sex acts and even their own suicides, according to an FBI warning issued earlier this month.

But sources told The Guardian that 764 is an outgrowth of an older, larger organization known as the Order of Nine Angles — which the Institute for Strategic Dialogue (ISD) called a “decentralized, Satanic, neo-Nazi organization” bent on the overthrow of Western governments.

The group — commonly referred to as O9A — believes the West’s Judeo-Christian heritage “corrupts modern society,” according to the ISD, an independent, non-profit human rights organization based in London.

As such, it wants to “replace the current order with a new imperial order based on fascism, social Darwinism and Satanism,” the institute wrote.

“O9A followers are encouraged to commit random acts of extreme violence, sexual assaults and the ‘culling’ of human victims to accelerate the breakdown of the current Judeo-Christian Western system,” the ISD said, adding that the group’s ideology has become more influential among neo-Nazi circles in recent years.

“It’s an interesting concoction of racism and sex,” Rick Alan Ross, a cult expert and the author of “Cults Inside Out: How People Get In and Can Get Out,” told The Post on Thursday.

“It’s a hate group, it’s neo-Nazi, it’s predatory,” he continued. “It’s an interesting hybrid.”

The group was formed in the early 1970s by British neo-Nazi David Myatt, whose teachings include “Aeonics,” or the belief that each human civilization corresponds to a certain time period.

Myatt’s followers believe the current world order will crumble, only to be replaced with a militaristic, Nazi-revival society called the “Imperium,” the ISD said. After the Imperium, they believe another aeon will eventually lead to the Aryan race colonizing outer space.

But standing in their way are the pillars of Western society — namely, Judeo-Christian values, racial equality, human rights, democracy and capitalism, among others.

The group believes those values must be demolished before the white supremacist vision can take shape, according to the ISD.

“O9A shares many beliefs with accelerationist groups, including the perception that Western society is decadent; antisemitism; the lionization of Nazis; and a desire to bring about societal collapse,” the institute wrote.

The twisted philosophy hit a lull in the 1990s and early 2000s before its adherents took to social media some time around 2008.

Their insidious online presence presents a massive hazard — recruiters don’t even need to meet face-to-face anymore, Ross said.

Instead, they pull in unsuspecting kids over FaceTime, Zoom or Skype.

“This is a problem,” Ross said. “How do you, as a parent, protect your children who are going to go online and go on social media? How do you monitor that? How do you protect your family?”

“We all need to be much more aware of what’s going on online and social media.”

The recruiting efforts have attracted disaffected young men, several of whom were later convicted of terror offenses in the UK, according to the ISD.

They, in turn, often target vulnerable youth — specifically LGBTQ+ minors, racial minorities and those with mental health issues — and manipulate them into recording heinous acts.

“That can be someone who has lost their job, is going through a difficult divorce, has a chronic illness,” Ross said. “They’re not doing well in school, someone close to them died — or it can be someone struggling with their sexuality in the LGBTQ community.”

Almeida could face life in prison for his crimes, which now also include child porn charges.

“If there is one narrative, it’s, ‘I was going through this difficult time, I was unhappy, and at that point someone approached me … and told me about this group or movement they said can be helpful,” he continued.

The group’s wild beliefs — which are typically shared by offshoots like 764 — also promote and celebrate rape, pedophilia and murder as ways to shatter societal norms, the Institute said.

Almeida — the young man from Queens convicted of being a felon with a firearm — appears to fit the mold.

Investigators uncovered 764 when they were searching through Almeida’s social media posts, which were so shocking that the feds filed a superseding indictment that tacked on charges of child exploitation and enticement of minors.

When authorities parsed through his home, they allegedly found hundreds of child sex abuse files on four different devices — as well as books about O9A and Satanism, court documents said.

They also found a “blood covenant,” an O9A drawing of a hooded figure surrounded by the group’s symbols and smeared with what appears to be blood, the filings state.

Federal prosecutors have also accused Almeida of trying to lure two underage girls into having sex — one of whom he allegedly targeted so he could make his own kiddie porn, according to the indictment.

His trial begins Dec. 4.

If convicted, he could spend the rest of his life behind bars.
