This means no central leader to decapitate. No communication to intercept. An ONA-inspired attack can appear as a lone-wolf incident, a Satanic ritual homicide, or a far-right mass shooting—often all three simultaneously.

In 2003, Italian occultists linked to the ONA-inspired Beasts of Satan group committed two brutal murders near Milan, including a ritualistic killing where a victim’s skull was crushed with a shovel. Investigators found videotapes of ceremonies, gravesites, and a manifesto demanding a race war.

The ONA calls this Opfergeld : “sacrifice money.” An action does not need to be large. A single murder, properly mythologized, creates ripples of fear that weaken the “mundane system.” The ONA’s influence has grown disproportionately to its actual membership—which experts estimate at no more than a few hundred globally. Their writings have been republished by extremist presses in the US, Russia, and Eastern Europe. The internet has allowed their ideology to metastasize, with teenagers in the US and UK self-initiating via PDFs downloaded from darknet forums.

Most chillingly, the 2014 arrest of a German far-right terrorist cell—the Oldschool Society —revealed an ONA training manual titled The Satanic Protocols . Their plan: bomb asylum centers and mosques, then use the chaos to seize power. What makes the ONA uniquely dangerous to law enforcement is its structure—or lack thereof. The ONA explicitly rejects the pyramid model of terrorist groups like Al-Qaeda or ISIS. Instead, it promotes the “acausal” cell: small, autonomous groups of 3-9 people who never communicate with other cells. They derive their ideology from public ONA texts but operate independently.
