What do you get when a group of paranoid anonymous persons partake in a clandestine subculture?
The target for this question is the O9A (not to be confused with the ONA). Within the O9A there are decentralised cells that work individually to express whatever interpretation of O9A texts they want as part of the system of the Authority of Individual Judgement. On paper, this sounds like a perfect system, alchemically and operational security-wise, yet there is one nefarious factor often overlooked that comes with this system: social conditioning.
There is a specific kind of self-applied classical conditioning unique to cyber space, wherein encountering the daily use of anonymous profiles and modified personalities forces a user to restructure their expectations of what a healthy social interaction should consist of.
When away from our cyber wonderland, we conduct ourselves openly. No well-adjusted person approaches a new social interaction wearing a balaclava and proceeds to introduce themselves to the other person as SharpSatanist666 because that’s borderline certifiable, yet when navigating cyber space this is exactly what we do, and for good reason — bar the provocative name. Online anonymity is good practice, but when that becomes the standard of our daily communication, problems begin to arise.

If you have become accustomed to interacting with people who use what is essentially an ideal form, in a Platonist sense, of what they desire to be, you have conditioned yourself into basing your trust on who has the most impressive ideal form that compliments your ideal form, thus you have swapped evidence for conjecture. The system you use, when out in society, to determine a person’s authenticity has been flipped. Instead of starting from a position of what you can observe — facial expressions, body language, etc., then forming an opinion, and then accumulating evidence that either validates or invalidates your theory of that person, you start from a position of what you think you are observing, then form an opinion, and then accumulate information about the person behind the online profile that either validates or invalidates your theory of them; but, such validations and invalidations are based on the online profile, not the person behind the profile.
Thus, the probability of ascertaining truth from a cyber interaction is considerably lower than that of a face-to-face interaction. When you accept this as your standard expectation for a social relationship, you open yourself up to manipulation and ‘gas-lighting’, as the youth are fond of saying. When this accepted social standard is compounded with a clandestine subculture like the O9A it creates the space for the emergence of conspiracy theories, that is to say a theory of conspiracy not backed by evidence beyond the potentially circumstantial, as opposed to conspiracies, which are backed by hard evidence.

An example of a conspiracy within the O9A is Sutter working with the FBI and subverting the Temple of Blood after Karnac Velton’s tenure [i]. This is a conspiracy because there is documentation and testimony confirming Sutter’s actions and the FBI’s involvement from both the accuser and the accused, but there exists no small number of circulated, baseless theories, sans hard evidence, that are ‘gas-lighting’ adherents of the sinister tradition, causing them to become paranoid, neurotic individuals that are one comment short of a tinfoil hat.
Paranoia is an insidious killer. If you succumb too greatly to it you will be unable to make rational judgements; you will assume the worst of your friends and family; you will ostracise yourself by virtue of your delusions, attracting only the deluded and creating a social contagion, a community of paranoid- fuelled conspiracy theorists. The culmination of this sustained Folie à plusiers [ii] (which begins with Folie communiquee) [iii] — once the delusion has dissipated — is misery, regret, self-hatred and demoralisation, a potent negative cocktail that often ends in tragedy.
It goes without saying that sinister adherents encounter a lot of challenging scenarios both causal and acausal, so keeping a level head is paramount to preventing an involuntary renouncing of the sinister quest, or worse. We must therefore look after our mental health, as it’s the last line of defence against psychosis; and at all costs, we must prevent ourselves from becoming victims of conspiracy theories that threaten to impede the great work and the revitalised community that is being built by each and every one of us.

[ii] Folie à plusiers is a French psychiatric term for delusions that are transmitted from one person suffering from psychosis to a group closely associated with that person. The delusions are then propagated by both ‘patient zero’ and the group, reinforcing and escalating one another’s delusions simultaneously.
[iii] Folie communiquee is a French psychiatric term for delusions that are transmitted from one person suffering with psychosis to another that is not, via that other person having an intimate relationship with the psychotic individual. This individual proceeds to infect the non-psychotic individual with their delusions, creating an environment in which the delusions are sustained and enhanced by one another. The article Coexistence of folie communiquée and folie simultanée, published by the International Journal of Psychiatry in Clinical Practice (July 2009), yields further information on the phenomenon.
