Portland man accused of threatening to behead ICE officers faces federal charge

The diagnosis seemed significant enough in this case to garner many details in the affidavit and article.

Right!? Wild that he wasn't monitored by LEO back in 2007 🤔

ofc 🙄 Anyone describing Cupp/Walid as a "Leftist" has the wrong analysis

Of the many conditions for release to the Center, Cupp/Walid is prohibited from posting on social media regarding his case or political matters.

The article mentions that Cupp/Walid takes medication for his mental illness and has sought therapy in the last couple months. Once a bed is available at the Northwest Regional Reentry Center, it looks like he will be released to that facility.

Bernstein also quotes from the affidavit that Cupp/Walid claimed he was on the same level as al-Qaida founder Osama bin Laden and white supremacist Timothy McVeigh. We also learn that Cupp/Walid has been on paid leave from his job at WalMart due to his online behavior.

Also in her article, we learn that Cupp has been living on the street and in a North Portland motel since he faced a restraining order issued from Clackamas County in April barring him from contacting his estranged wife and her three children (all of whom are Black and Muslim).

Portland man accused of threatening to behead ICE officers faces federal charge Portland resident John Paul Cupp also compared himself to Osama bin Laden, the FBI says.

Excellent reporting from Maxine Bernstein on John Paul Cupp's arrest. In her article, she writes that Cupp aka "Walid" has been monitored by the FBI since May 2024. He was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in his teens (according to the affidavit).

"[William] White also claims & LCRW is unable to confirm that, in 2007, Sutter & James Porrazzo, a neo-Nazi & former American Front leader, “attempted to murder a man named John Paul Cupp as part of their operations against North Korea.” For more reporting on Cupp see: www.nknews.org/2013/05/whit...

A more current photo of John Paul Cupp (2025) featuring him with long hair and a beard sitting in a brown recliner and wearing a shirt with fruit and palm tree leaves on it and a brown and tan camo pair of cargo pants.

More from my article: "In short, there was a bit of a love triangle among Cupp, Hoy, and Sutter. Perhaps unrelated, Cupp ended up in the hospital and the next year Sutter and Hoy were married. John Paul Cupp changed his name to Walid and converted to Islam."

A screenshot from Nate Thayer's article of John Paul Cupp visiting North Korea. The picture shows Cupp posing with a North Korean military officer and other officials. Date of photograph is 2007 and location is in the demiitarized zone on the border with South Korea from the North Korea side.

"An aspiring poet & often unhoused radical living in Portland, OR named John Paul Cupp traveled to South Carolina in 2007 w/ a Palestinian-American from California to meet Sutter and Hoy. Cupp had his own pro-DPRK “study group” and had even oddly been flown to North Korea by officials for a visit."

MYSTERIOUS DEATH SPOTLIGHTS SATANIC NAZI TERROR NETWORK | Left Coast Right Watch Last April, a young man with ties to neo-Nazi terror networks died in an apparent suicide. We examine that network and his ties to it.

I wrote a little about Cupp aka "Walid" in my Left Coast Right Watch article earlier this year: leftcoastrightwatch.org/articles/mys...

Antisemite John Paul Cupp, 45, is charged w/ "Threats Made Against a Federal Law Enforcement Officer," according to a US Dept. of Justice press release. According to the complaint, Cupp threatened to kill law enforcement officers and sexually assault their wives.

This violent CBP agent's Twitter account follows 2 Holocaust deniers (Nick Fuentes and Stew Peters) and 9 accounts associated with InfoWars and its current or former employees. He's likely knee-deep in far-right and antisemitic conspiracy theories.

A triptych of images of Patriot Front & New England Active Club member designation "Hair Apparent". The first, taken in a park in southern CT around August 2024 and rendered in monochrome, shows a white man in his late teens to early 20s, with an athletic build, wearing black UnderArmour training shorts and a black tank top. His head has been entirely blurred, save some indications of shoulder-length dark hair around the edges of the blur. He holds a Will2Rise business card up near his face; it has been intentionally defaced with the three arrows. The second, taken in a park in Worcester MA during August 2025 and in full color, shows the same white man in what appears to be the exact same outfit, while also wearing white sneakers and boxing gloves. He is in a wild half-squatting stance as he tries not to get punched in the face by someone largely off-frame, likely to be Patriot Front member Joseph Behling of Manchester NH, to the right. Only his face has been blurred this time, with his luxuriously full and dark hair visible. As he moves to not take a punch, his hair tossed in the air, going from luxurious to comical. The third image is of the same white man, in Boston around October 2025, rendered in one of Patriot Front's relatively muted color palette but color-corrected to remove the blue cast to the image. The man stands in front of the George Robert White Monument in the Public Gardens, holding the edge of a Patriot Front flag. The fasces on the flag has been intentionally defaced to show three arrows.

Please reach out if you have information about this specific Patriot Front member out of New England, whom I've dubbed "Hair Apparent". An apparently active member since August 2024, he is likely based out of Massachusetts and/or Connecticut.

Decoherence Media reached out to Alisher Mukhitdinov and Gabriel Sohier-Chaput for comment, but our inquiries went unanswered.

As far as Soshnikov can tell from leaked personal databases, “Mukhitdinov still lives in Moscow. I think he made almost every possible effort to make it impossible to trace him.”

" . . . after all, his departure from the public space was very abrupt, and in Russia this sometimes happens as a result of informal intrusion of security services into a person's life.”
