No Lives Matter

No Lives Matter (NLM) is a violent extremist network operating within the broader criminal ecosystem known as The Com, described by Wired in March 2025 as "a particularly violent splinter group within the extremist crime network known as Com and 764." Founded by a Dutch national identified in Dutch court proceedings only as Justin B. (alias CXRPSE), NLM emerged from the 764 child exploitation network and distinguished itself by prioritizing real-world physical violence over sextortion. The Dutch Public Prosecution Service designated NLM a terrorist organization, and its activities have been linked to stabbing sprees in Sweden, disrupted plots in Italy, and law enforcement investigations across Europe and the United States.

Background: The Com Ecosystem

NLM cannot be understood apart from The Com (short for "The Community"), a decentralized, transnational network of interconnected chatrooms, groups, and individuals engaged in wide-ranging criminal activity. Researchers divide The Com into three operational pillars:

• Cyber Com (also called Hacker Com): The network's historical origin point, focused on cell phone fraud, corporate computer intrusions, and large-scale hacking. Scattered Spider is the most prominent group associated with this pillar.
• Extortion Com: Groups that conduct sextortion and child sexual abuse material (CSAM) operations; 764 was founded in this pillar.
• Offline Com: Groups that embrace accelerationist and neo-Nazi ideologies and emphasize physical, real-world violence. NLM and Maniac Murder Cult (MKY, also written M.K.Y.) are the primary groups in this pillar.

764 itself was founded circa 2020 by an American teenager in Stephenville, Texas, whose postal code was 764 - the group's namesake. He is now serving an 80-year prison sentence for child pornography offenses. NLM emerged as a splinter from 764, eventually breaking formally with the parent network: in May 2024, NLM announced on Telegram that its alliance with 764 "had ended a while ago," citing distrust of 764's current leadership and NLM's desire to distance itself from sextortion and CSAM operations.¹

Founding and Leadership

NLM was founded by a figure known online as CXRPSE, a name tattooed on his wrist. In Dutch court proceedings, he was identified only as Justin B., a 25-year-old man from Eindhoven, Netherlands. His full surname has not been publicly disclosed under Dutch legal practice, which routinely uses only initials for criminal defendants. No credible source has reported his full surname as of the time of writing.

The precise founding date of NLM is not definitively established in the open-source record. The network appears to have coalesced circa 2022-2023. The third edition of a document called the "Haters Handbook," released in 2023, already references alliances between MKY, NLM, and Satanic neo-Nazi accelerationist groups, suggesting NLM was operationally active by that point. Justin B.'s own statements in Dutch police interviews confirmed he founded NLM, though his defense argued at the October 2025 preliminary hearing that others built the organization around him and his online persona as he became its de facto figurehead.²

Justin B. relinquished operational ownership of NLM at some point around 2023, according to reporting in the Dutch press. He told Dutch police he had converted to Christianity and had "just gotten his life together" when police raided his Eindhoven home in late July 2025.

Ideology

NLM's core ideology combines radical nihilism, misanthropy, and accelerationism. The group's name is a deliberate inversion of the Black Lives Matter movement, repurposed as a statement that no human life has value. NLM explicitly rejects ideological consistency, embracing violence as an end in itself rather than as a means to political goals - a characteristic that researchers at the Institute for Strategic Dialogue (ISD) have classified under the broader category of "nihilistic violence," defined as violent acts driven by a misanthropic worldview rather than coherent political ideology.

NLM has drawn ideological material from neo-Nazism, Satanism, and the true crime community, though it does not maintain doctrinal fidelity to any of these. A publication released in partnership with NLM and signed with the alias "Nepal" stated the group's purpose as "the purification of all living things through endless attacks committed by the cult." NLM has glorified mass shooters including Brenton Tarrant, the perpetrator of the 2019 Christchurch mosque attacks that killed 51 people.³

Publications and Tactical Guides

NLM has produced a series of written operational documents distributed primarily via Telegram:

• Terror Guide (released June 2024): Instructions for constructing improvised explosive devices, poisons, and incendiary tools; operational security (OPSEC) practices; and weapons selection. Draws on material from Al Qaeda, ISIS, the Anarchist Cookbook, and the IRA Green Book.
• Manhunt Guide (released June 2024): Instructions for stalking, selecting, and attacking victims; OPSEC practices including wearing disposable clothing, shaving body hair, and using duct tape to seal gloves and sleeves to evade forensic detection; "manhunt requirements" including the recording of "brutal" beatings.
• Kill Guide: A streamlined operational text covering knife attacks, vehicle assaults, and the filming of killings. Borrows instructional material from jihadist and paramilitary sources.
• NLM x 764 Classified: A document forging alliance with the 764 network and combining calls for murder with psychological manipulation techniques.
• Evil Has No Limit: An additional propaganda and ideological text.
• Haters Handbook (multiple editions): A broader ideological-operational hybrid document; the third edition (2023) references NLM's alliance network.

The New Jersey Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness (NJOHSP) issued an unclassified threat assessment on August 21, 2024, specifically addressing NLM's publication of these tactical guides and the group's updated extremist messaging. The NJOHSP bulletin noted that NLM operates primarily via Telegram, partners with white racially motivated extremists (WRME), and that the July 2024 update to group entry requirements on NLM's Telegram channel specified that prospective members must attack "the mundane," commit arson, or commit vandalism as entry acts.⁴

Recruitment and Operations

NLM recruits primarily through Telegram channels with limited content moderation, though Discord has also been used in affiliated networks. Recruitment targets vulnerable young people, often boys aged 11-17. The group operates through a status economy: members commit and document acts of violence, upload recordings to NLM and 764 chatrooms to gain standing, and use the resulting footage as propaganda to attract further recruits.

Entry requirements escalate: documented acts range from vandalism and arson through beatings and stabbings to murder and mass murder. Recording and livestreaming attacks is a core requirement. This documentation-as-status dynamic, which researchers have compared to the "Columbine Effect" of copycat inspiration, is the mechanism by which NLM converted online activity into real-world violence across multiple countries.⁵

In July 2024, NLM announced a formal alliance with Mordwaffen Division (MWD), a European neo-Nazi group. The Swedish branch of NLM operates under the name Mordwaffen ("mord" is Swedish for "murder"). NLM has also maintained ties to Maniac Murder Cult (MKY/M.K.Y.), a Ukrainian-origin nihilistic network founded circa 2017-2018 by the pseudonymous "Egor Yakovlev" (identified by Russian authorities as Yegor Krasnov, a Ukrainian national). NLM is described in some analyses as the English-language hub of MKY's international network.⁶

Relationship to 764 and Scattered Spider

NLM is distinct from 764 in operational focus: 764 centers on sextortion and coercion into CSAM as its core criminal activity, while NLM centers on real-world physical violence and the glorification of mass casualty attacks. NLM formally severed its alliance with 764 in May 2024. Both networks exist within The Com's broader Offline Com pillar, however, and personnel overlap has been documented.

Scattered Spider operates in The Com's Cyber Com pillar and has no direct documented operational relationship with NLM. The connection is structural: both are products of the same decentralized Com ecosystem, not affiliated organizations with shared leadership or operational coordination. Researchers at SANS have noted that Cyber Com, Extortion Com, and Offline Com share cultural markers and personnel pipelines, but NLM's specific activities are not cyber-focused and no credible source has documented a direct Scattered Spider-NLM operational link.⁷

Documented Violence

Sweden - Hässelby, Stockholm (July and September 2024)

A 14-year-old boy, known online as "Slain764," who claimed to lead the Swedish NLM cell operating under the name Mordwaffen, carried out multiple unprovoked knife attacks in the Hässelby suburb of Stockholm. Swedish state broadcaster SVT reported at least six to eight separate attacks in the area. Documented incidents include:

• An attempted murder of an elderly woman in July 2024.
• An attempted murder of an 80-year-old man in September 2024, who was stabbed multiple times, suffered a punctured lung, and was hospitalized. The victim later described himself as "grateful to be alive." All attacks were filmed and uploaded to Telegram to gain status within NLM and 764 networks. Because the attacker was under 15 years of age at the time, he could not be held criminally responsible under Swedish law. An administrative court ordered him placed into care under Sweden's Care of Young Persons (Special Provisions) Act. Swedish prosecutors classified the case as terrorism-related due to its intent to spread public fear.⁸

Sweden - Borås (January 2025)

A separate 14-year-old boy with documented connections to 764 and NLM stabbed a woman in the back while she was walking her dog. The attack was livestreamed on the internet. The attacker later confessed during an evidence hearing at Borås District Court. Prosecutor Louise Bremander confirmed the boy's connections to both 764 and NLM. The attacker told police he had difficulty making friends and wanted to gain status in the online group, and claimed other group members had pressured him to commit the attack. He was subsequently found guilty of the assault. The case has been examined in the context of The Com's cross-border influence on Nordic youth.⁹

Other Jurisdictions

ISD research linked nihilistic violence subcultures including NLM to at least four school shooters and five disrupted school shooting plots, as well as a foiled plot in Italy involving a 15-year-old who planned to murder a homeless person and livestream it. A man in Virginia was arrested in possession of approximately 150 explosive devices; his backpack displayed a "#NoLivesMatter" patch, indicating ideological alignment. The FBI has stated it opened more than 250 investigations into related cases spanning all 55 of its field offices across the United States.¹⁰

Arrest and Prosecution of Justin B.

In late July 2025, a specialized Dutch police unit raided Justin B.'s home in Eindhoven and arrested him. Police found footage of extreme violence on his data carriers, including a video he had forwarded of a person being shot in the head with the accompanying message: "I really want to do that to someone's head. Brain on my shoes, everything." He also glorified multiple mass shooters on his devices.²

Justin B. was remanded into pre-trial detention at Penitentiaire Inrichting (PI) Vught, a maximum-security prison facility in the Netherlands with a dedicated wing for terrorism-related suspects and convicts.

October 28, 2025 - First Public Preliminary Hearing, Rotterdam

Justin B. appeared for his first public hearing in the extra-secured courtroom in Rotterdam, where terrorism cases are heard. His attorney admitted on the record that his client was "CXRPSE," confirming the alias. Justin B. himself stated he had left the Com shortly before his arrest, and claimed he had converted to Christianity and had "just gotten his life together" when police arrived.

The Dutch Public Prosecution Service (Openbaar Ministerie, OM) presented the following formal suspicions against B.:

• Founding and leading No Lives Matter as a terrorist organization
• Instructing victims to commit self-harm
• Participation in or facilitation of animal crushing
• Distribution of extreme violent and terrorist material
• Production and distribution of child sexual abuse material (CSAM)

The OM characterized NLM as "a terrorist organization aimed at committing or commissioning murder and other serious violence." Prosecutors cited B.'s glorification of Brenton Tarrant and other mass killers.

B.'s defense argued that he had a history of mental health problems since youth, that others had built NLM's structure around him and his online persona, and that he was not the active operational leader the prosecution characterized him as.²

Expanded Charges (March 2026)

The OM subsequently expanded the indictment against Justin B. to include: rape of an underage ex-girlfriend between November 2019 and June 2020; possession, creation, and distribution of child pornography in May 2020; and forcing a girl to submit to indecent acts later in 2020. These charges preceded NLM's formation and concern personal conduct rather than organizational leadership. The trial was scheduled to continue in June 2026.¹¹

As of the time of writing, no subsequent court proceedings beyond the October 28, 2025 preliminary hearing and the March 2026 expanded charge filing have been reported in English-language sources. Justin B. remains in pre-trial detention at PI Vught.

Other Arrests

No Lives Matter members beyond Justin B. have been arrested in connection with NLM-specific charges. The broader 764 network has seen extensive law enforcement action: between 2020 and 2025, 191 members of 764 or affiliated groups across 28 countries were arrested for sextortion, CSAM possession, or violent attacks. The two Swedish teenage attackers described above were subject to administrative rather than criminal proceedings due to their ages. No other named NLM members have been reported as arrested on NLM-specific terrorism charges as of this writing.⁶
