Pat McMonigle expected to fight terrorists whose ideologies were known. He couldn’t have imagined the faceless, evil, violent nihilists he found online.
As an FBI agent for nearly 20 years, Pat McMonigle investigated national security crimes, was a hostage negotiator and Joint Terrorism Task Force coordinator, trained dozens of other special agents, and was deployed three times to war zones overseas. But it was his investigation of an online cult fueled by an insidious, unspeakably evil ideology that led to the end of his law enforcement career.
That ideology is called 764, an online neo-Nazi group grounded in a nihilism and a perverse form of social Darwinism which encourages vulnerable young kids to release sexually explicit material, hurt themselves, and even die by suicide. And it is that ideology that the shooter at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis, Robin Westman, appears to have subscribed to based on the killer’s writings and activity online.
Westman appears to have supported the Order of Nine Angles, a Satanic right-wing group with ties to 764, though authorities haven’t yet confirmed this connection.
The investigation by McMonigle began in 2022 and involved a 13-year-old who was manipulated and coerced into dying by suicide, and recording it, by an online groomer and leader of 764. McMonigle said over the course of the investigation, he was forced to watch videos of dozens of kids being coerced into physically harming themselves, including watching the video of the 13-year-old child’s suicide at least half a dozen times.
