A note from the author

I’m not cut out for this publishing shit.

I gave the book business an honest shot, and it turns out the industry and I were never going to get along. But this story was never going to fit on a sales page anyway.

This is the one that matters — the backstory the file never had. It needs to be there for the generations coming up behind us, the ones who rise up, so they can see exactly how the machine builds a person, and what it looks like when that person refuses to break. So Volume I is free. The whole book. Audiobook, PDF, EPUB — and the spinoff with it. Take it, share it, hand it to whoever needs it next. If it lands and you want to send something back, the doors are one section down.

Dedication

To Dominique, our lost child, and everyone who survived the ice without a map.

What it is

The backstory the investigations never had.

The book opens sometime in the future, on a stage, with a question the men who kept the file still cannot answer. Then it goes backward. Past the name. Past the campaigns. Into a life that did not leave a clean trail.

01

The wards

Severe rural neglect. Medical abuse under Munchausen by proxy. Pills meant to make a boy quiet. They made a rebel instead.

02

The frozen van

Minnesota winter. A passenger van. A heater that quit. No house. The ice the dedication is talking about.

03

Detroit

Cass Corridor, mid-2000s. The street name was Fuzzbuster. Dominique. Cancer. An ambush. Grief, exile, a psychedelic rebirth.

Origins of a Demon is an unfiltered account of institutional violence, the underworld, and what is left when a system tries to break someone and builds a demon instead. It is not a brand deck. It is the only volume written.

Chapter · The Frozen Van

Cold does not negotiate.

Cold does not negotiate, and it does not care who you think you are. Minnesota in the dead of winter will take a family that already has nothing and grind that nothing down until the only thing left is breath you can see and metal you cannot touch without pain.

We were in an old passenger van with a heater that coughed, rattled, and then gave up. My mother, my brother, my sister, and me. No house. No backup plan that actually worked. Just a rolling icebox parked wherever we would not get towed for a few hours.

Rural winter homelessness is quieter than the picture on the news. There is no steam grate. There is a two-lane road and a van that conducts the cold the way a skillet conducts heat.

The spinoff

Burn It Down

The Blueprint to Fire the Entire Political Class

The prologue of Origins of a Demon is the only fictional chapter — a speech, sometime in the future, in front of a movement called Burn It Down. This book is the answer to the obvious question: what would that movement actually look like?

Not a party. Not a candidate. A non-partisan operational blueprint. Congress sits at ten percent approval while over ninety percent of incumbents stroll back into office every cycle — because the machine runs on wedge issues, donor cash, and manufactured division. Burn It Down is the tactical manifesto to unify voters, purge incumbents, and reclaim the whole thing.

01

The cartel

Ten percent approval. Ninety percent reelected. The incumbency machine is the product, and the two parties are just its competing franchises.

02

The compact

Universal term limits. Absolute financial transparency. Genuine accountability. The demands the vast majority already agree on.

03

The purge

Weaponize the ballot box and fire every sitting politician, state and federal. If the replacement class refuses to deliver, fire them too.

Prefer print? Amazon has the paperback and hardcover.

Chapter one · The Theater of Hatred

Walter is every town.

Walter Griffin spent thirty-four years working the assembly line at an auto parts manufacturing plant in Canton, Ohio, until the corporate board figured out they could fuck his entire community over by shipping those jobs to Guanajuato.

Walter was not an ideological theorist or an academic analyst. He was a working-class man who watched his neighborhood rot from the inside out while politicians promised him salvation every twenty-four months. In the nineteen-nineties, Democrats told him that free trade agreements would lift everyone up, which turned out to be a total fucking lie that gutted his pension. In the two-thousands, Republicans told him that corporate tax cuts would bring the factories back, which was an equally disgusting crock of shit designed to line executive pockets while Canton turned to rust. By the time the plant locked its gates for good in 2011, Walter finally realized that neither wing of the ruling establishment cared if he lived or starved.

Every chapter opens with a person, not a statistic. Walter is Canton, Ohio. He is also inner-city Baltimore, rural Kentucky, and South Central Los Angeles.

The autobiography

One volume is written. The rest is blank.

Volume I is free in full. Burn It Down is a spinoff, not Volume II. Volumes II through X have no titles and no dates.

NFT Demon · Segway Jeremy

I was born August 29, 1988, in Dubuque, Iowa. The country met me in 2011 inside the Wisconsin State Capitol, on a Segway, filming an occupation the building had been locked to hide. I founded Defending Wisconsin PAC, ran for secretary of state, the Assembly, and twice in Republican primaries against Paul Ryan.

A jacket, a raid, sixteen months, and a plea the government said was not a terrorism conviction. A federal judge called me uncontrollable. Before any of that became a headline I had already survived brain cancer, and the recovery left me able to draw.

In 2021, under the name NFT Demon, I minted six major collections and was written up as the largest artist on BNB Chain. A blockchain review found Eminem’s wallet on that chain holding three NFTs. All three were mine. In 2024 I sued X Corp. after seven accounts were suspended — including a cancer-community project with a waitlist. I was not interested in being grateful.

Today I run NFT Demon Holdings LLC from San Diego: blockchain, AI, and quantum work that is supposed to ship, six products built in the house, and Patrol Crypto. The consulting site is the firm. This page is the life the firm was built on top of.

The person, not the file

A few frames he kept.

  • Jeremy Ryan in a navy suit covered in gold Birthday script, straw hat and sunglasses, standing under power lines.
    The suit says the part the speeches would not.
  • Jeremy Ryan in a hospital gown and woven hat, tongue out, IV bags behind him.
    Under the machines. Again.
  • Jeremy Ryan beside Tommy Chong, holding a plastic cup.
    With Tommy Chong.
  • Jeremy Ryan crouching with a black-and-white husky whose ears are dyed pink.
    The dogs were never a bit. The collections came after.
  • Jeremy Ryan seated on an ornate wooden throne in camouflage pants and a yellow hat.
    A chair. A joke. A city that tried to file him.
  • Jeremy Ryan in front of a Tint Tek window-tinting billboard at dusk.
    Tint Tek. Madison. The billboard years.
  • Jeremy Ryan in a black hoodie and a mask reading Fuck the Police.
    He did not come to be polite.
  • Jeremy Ryan in a car with a tan dog leaning into the frame, tongue out.
    San Diego. Still not alone.
  • California driver license for Jeremy NoFucks Ryan. The license number is marked out.
    NoFucks, not just his legal middle name, his lifestyle.
