Justin Mohn Wrote Book About Democrats and Satanic Cult

Justin Mohn, a man who allegedly decapitated his father and posted a video about the killing on YouTube, has published a variety of books, including one about a satanic cult and the Democratic Party and another that is a "revolution leader's survival guide."

According to authorities and reports, the 32-year-old was arrested at Fort Indiantown Gap in Pennsylvania on Tuesday night. An investigation is ongoing.

Earlier, officers found the body of a man in a bathroom in a nearby home. Reports say the victim, whose name and age have not been released, had been decapitated. The local district attorney's office said the man's adult son was not at the home when police arrived but was arrested about two hours away near Fort Indiantown Gap in Lebanon County.

According to sources who spoke to The Philadelphia Inquirer, Mohn had uploaded a graphic video on YouTube showing a decapitated head that he claimed belonged to his father. He said in the since-deleted video that his father, a longtime federal employee, "is now in hell for eternity as a traitor to this county," according to LevittownNow.com.

Mohn is a self-published author and musician who has used his writing to express extreme ideas. As per his Amazon bio, he is the author of seven books and has released three albums and a single.

"His life story is unbelievable and there may not be enough words to describe him, but one may begin to understand his complexity and experiences through his art," the bio reads. "He only wishes to bring positive change to the world."

The Amazon page lists several of Mohn's self-published books for sale, with titles including The Pink, They Will Burn This Book and Poems I Wrote While Stoned: A Collection Of Poems.

One title—The Second Messiah: King of Earth—is a fiction book described as being "loosely based on the life of author and musician Justin Mohn." Published on January 3, 2020, it follows a man named Buster Moon who moves from a small farm in Ohio to Colorado, where he notices that people are "strange." In it, Mohn writes about a satanic cult, the Democratic Party and a Cold War.

In the book's bio, it says "Buster painfully learns the dark secret of Colorado" after he becomes the main focus of the entire state.

"Eventually, Buster gets more attention than he thought was possible for any artist, but not in the way a normal celebrity does—in the way a religious icon does," it reads.

"The only thing more absurd than this fiction book is the fact that it is loosely based on the life of author and musician Justin Mohn, whose four-year stay in Colorado caused multiple lawsuits and changed the possible outcomes of the 2020 U.S. presidential election by exposing three presidential candidates as corrupt which forced them to drop out of the race."

Newsweek was unable to verify the claim that Mohn exposed a variety of presidential candidates. However, after he graduated from Penn State University with a degree in business management, he sued the federal government multiple times for allowing him to take out student loans that he had to repay. His complaints were repeatedly dismissed.

Court filings from 2023 show that he was seeking more than $10 million, arguing that while the loan allowed him to get a college education, he could not "find a satisfactory job as an overeducated white man to repay the loan."

According to the documents, Mohn claimed that he had trouble finding full-time work after graduating. In addition, he claimed that he was the victim of "affirmative action and reverse discrimination" because of his education and poor financial situation.

He relocated to Colorado to start working full-time at a credit union before working at an insurance company. Mohn sued Progressive Insurance in 2019 after not progressing within the company, saying he was not selected for positions because he was a man.

Court filings in that case said he was placed on paid leave after allegedly kicking open a door on August 5, 2017. Later that month, he was terminated for breaking the company's code of conduct.

In his book, The Revolution Leader's Survival Guide: How Schools, Workplaces, And Social Norms Kill The Genius Inside All Of Us, Mohn included the transcript of a letter he wrote to then-President Donald Trump warning of a peaceful revolution led by Mohn if positive change does not come to America.

Published on April 5, 2017, Mohn describes it as "revolutionary" and discusses the "constraints against education, creativity, and human progress throughout history."

"The author views the world on the brink of either a golden age of world peace and space colonization or instead, a second dark age of global wars and depopulation[...]within the next couple decades, if not sooner," the bio reads.

In chapter two, Mohn detailed how he believes the education system does a disservice to educating young people and revealed the alleged harassment he experienced from another classmate. In chapter three he explained the issues that arose from his student loans and his "inability to find a high enough paying job."

A third book of his, The Kingdom of Darkness, published on May 13, 2020, is a fiction book about Satan and fallen angels being banished from heaven, with their souls eventually being "trapped inside Earth's lowliest creatures."

In his self-published pamphlet titled America's Coming Bloody Revolution, Mohn wrote about killing his own family members. He said a violent revolution is "inevitable" and detailed how it could be successful, proposing that the majority of people born before 1991 should be killed for being traitors.
