Hammers in the Dark: The Second Manifestos of the Maniacs Murder Cult Under Commander Butcher (Part II)

Previous parts can be found here: Part I

Introduction
If the first installment introduced readers to M.K.Y.’s grim worldview—its comforting blend of nihilism, accelerationism, and a desire to see the world’s scaffolding collapse—this second foray guides us deeper into the group’s ideological catacombs. Now our spotlight falls upon a figure known as Commander Butcher, a Georgian national by the name of Michail Chkhikvishvili, whose December 2023 arrest cut short a New Year’s Eve plan that might best be described as holiday cheer with a lethal aftertaste. (DOJ Press Release)

In November 2023, Chkhikvishvili outlined a scheme that involved dressing up a would-be perpetrator in Santa Claus attire and distributing poison-laced candy to minorities and Jewish schoolchildren in Brooklyn. This was terror in a festive wrapper—misanthropy given seasonal flair. He offered how-to guides on mixing lethal gases and maximizing casualty counts, suggesting that, for some, nothing says “new beginnings” like chemical warfare.

Today, we examine three editions of the “Haters Handbook,” Commander Butcher’s expansions to M.K.Y.’s original manifesto sets. These documents knit together a tapestry of ideological references: a dash of National Socialism, a pinch of Satanic influence, a nod to ISIS-inspired tactics, and a flourish of O9A aesthetics. The result is a kind of extremist fusion cuisine, serving up instructions on infiltration, deception, psychological manipulation, and tailored violence. Their underlying goal? To sharpen societal fractures, introduce chaos into stable systems, and turn would-be armchair malcontents into active foot soldiers of ruin.

Unlike the Krasnov-era materials—already quite the dystopian self-help guides—Butcher’s versions double down on practical “skills.” They go beyond stabbing tips and into the territory of digital, biological, and infrastructural sabotage. These newer texts maintain the original’s unblinking hatred but elevate it into a fully operational doctrine. Their approach is methodical: infiltrate targets, exploit vulnerabilities, and document the carnage to amplify terror’s echo.

These manifestos offer more than a study in depravity; they’re a field guide to an evolving extremist ethos. Reading them is akin to picking through the ashes of a still-smoldering fire, piecing together its fuel source, ignition method, and intended path of destruction. The M.K.Y. under Commander Butcher isn’t just advocating violence; it’s curating it, refining it, and preparing its adherents to deliver it with surgical precision.

Overview of the Selected Manifestos
Each edition attributed to Commander Butcher’s, follows a similar narrative arc—ideological affirmations, operational directives, propaganda strategies—but with incremental refinements. Furthermore, each edition takes a similar form—chapters outlining ideological positions, instructions for violence, tools for infiltration, and methods of propaganda—yet with incremental refinements and expansions in each iteration.

1. Haters Handbook (First Edition):

• Introduces the fusion of National Socialism and Satanism.
• Draws on ISIS and other jihadist tactics as a template for infiltration and psychological warfare.
• Emphasizes “combining two dark forces” (NS and Satanism) to inspire unlimited ruthlessness.
• Highlights M.K.Y. role models (Yegor Maniac, foreign fighters, historical terrorists) as inspiration for readers.

2. Haters Handbook (Second Edition, Expanded):

• Reiterates the same chapters as the first edition but adds practical tips for funding activities through crime (e.g., carding, drug dealing).
• Encourages infiltration of enemy movements (Black Lives Matter, jihadist groups) to weaponize them against governments and each other.
• Provides operational security measures: cover stories, changing clothes, scent masking, and strategic weapon selection.
• Underscores the importance of propaganda dissemination and filming attacks to maximize fear and resonance.

3. Haters Handbook (Third Edition, MMC Collective + Commander Butcher):

• Incorporates “NSO9A” (National Socialist Order of Nine Angles) and Satanic Front references, reinforcing occult and satanic elements.
• Details a complex hierarchy (murder points scoring system, inactivity punishments, “elite” status) to motivate adherence and continuous violence.
• Introduces advanced infiltration strategies, biological and nuclear sabotage, and “tactical nihilism” aimed at complete societal collapse.
• Includes personal biography segments, referencing Yegor Krasnov and historical killers, forging a mythic lineage that endorses child indoctrination, mass murder, and paramilitary tactics.

Thematic Analysis of the Manifestos
Several consistent and evolving themes emerge across the Commander Butcher manifestos:

1. Ideological Fusion and Expansion:
While Krasnov’s originals emphasized a nihilistic accelerationism blended with National Socialism and Satanism, Commander Butcher adds further influences. References to ISIS, Satanic Front, O9A aesthetics, and historical figures like Charles Manson or Anders Breivik create a broad ideological tapestry. This ideological merging aims to overwhelm conventional moral frames, encouraging total embrace of cruelty, deception, and strategic infiltration.

2. Practical Violence and Methodical Terrorism:
Each text features detailed instructions for lethal violence—stabbings, beatings, manhunts, arsons, bombings, and mass shootings. “Cold Weapon” tactics are spelled out, with anatomical diagrams and suggestions for optimal kill methods, which are borrowed from ISIS magazine Rumiyah. Commander Butcher’s editions also explain how to plan complex operations: truck attacks, improvised bombs, infiltration of movements, exploitation of cyber vulnerabilities, and sabotage of energy or nuclear infrastructures.

3. Infiltration, Psychological Warfare, and Propaganda:
Commander Butcher encourages readers not only to kill but to manipulate. The materials teach readers to adopt false identities, join enemy groups, and turn one extremist movement against another. Psychological warfare involves spreading disinformation, faking crises (swatting), and exploiting vulnerable individuals. The emphasis on filming attacks to produce terror-inducing propaganda intensifies the psychological impact, mirroring techniques used by ISIS and other media-savvy terrorist organizations.

4. Organizational Hierarchy, Recruitment, and Self-Reinforcement:
Unlike the looser guidance of Krasnov’s texts, these manifestos propose a structured “murder point” system to incentivize continuous action. Members gain status by committing violent acts. Failing to maintain activity leads to punishment or death. This hierarchical approach, blended with ideology and terror, aims to create a committed cell structure, ensuring dedication to long-term chaos.

5. Adapting to Digital, Biological, and Nuclear Threats:
Commander Butcher’s work moves beyond knives and hammers into the realms of cyber attacks, economic sabotage, and biologically engineered chaos. The manifestos hint at poisoning food supplies, releasing pathogens, or causing nuclear meltdowns. It’s an escalation that shows M.K.Y.’s ambition: total warfare on every front.

Indicators of Operationalization and Mobilization
As with the first installment’s texts, these manifestos are not passive. They demand immediate, violent action. Key indicators include:

• Detailed Killing Manuals: Practical guides on how to select targets, approach unsuspecting victims, and kill quickly and silently.
• Operational Security and Anonymity Protocols: Instructions to use gloves, antiseptics, odor masking, and burner phones demonstrate a methodical approach to evading law enforcement.
• Self-Financing and Resource Acquisition: Encouraging criminal acts like drug dealing, carding, or trafficking to fund terrorism aligns with a self-sustaining, cell-based model.
• Cross-Pollination with Other Groups: Emphasis on infiltrating BLM or jihadist groups to accelerate instability signals a broader extremist ecosystem. M.K.Y. under Commander Butcher portrays itself as a hub connecting different violent sub-networks.
• Ritualistic and Psychological Reinforcement: Using occult and satanic references, the manifestos try to transform violence into a spiritual or mythic act, deepening commitment and providing a sense of belonging beyond ideological rationales.

These indicators suggest M.K.Y. under Commander Butcher aims to create more than isolated lone actors. They intend to form a transnational, multi-faceted insurgency that uses any means—physical terror, digital sabotage, infiltration, and propaganda—to tear down current societal structures. It is important to note that the Haters Handbooks were initially released via Sextortion, prior to them being posted in the Terrorgram Milieu. Further Butcher was active in Com itself and tailored the Haters Handbook to the audience of the Com Network, and has played an important role in the growth and expansion of Offline Com. The Haters Handbook was also found in the mediafire cloud drive of Arda K. ,the attacker in Eskisehir, Turkey, along side his manifesto.

Conclusion
In turning from Krasnov’s original manifestos to Commander Butcher’s subsequent editions, we witness the evolution from broad philosophical hatred to a more fully realized strategic campaign. The emphasis shifts from mere hostility to practical, networked violence, where infiltration, psychological manipulation, and thorough operational planning become standard practice. Commander Butcher’s texts serve as a stark reminder: ideologies mutate, tactics sharpen, and extremist groups adapt. The carnival of cruelty laid out here isn’t simply about celebrating hate—it’s about codifying it, giving it teeth and direction. This is not just another grisly chapter in extremist literature; it’s a careful re-engineering of the machine, intended to produce terror with unprecedented efficiency.
