Extremist Content Online: Extreme Right Instagram Users Spread Propaganda And
Plans For 3D Printed-Firearms



(New York, N.Y.) — The Counter Extremism Project (CEP) reports weekly on the
methods used by extremists to exploit the Internet and social media platforms
to recruit followers and incite violence. Last week, CEP researchers located
five accounts on Meta-owned Instagram responsible for spreading antisemitic and
neo-Nazi propaganda, one of which belongs to the racist and antisemitic
National Justice Party. The accounts posted propaganda videos, with one
additionally sharing information on how to produce 3D-printed firearms.



On Telegram, CEP researchers located accounts spreading anti-Muslim,
anti-immigrant, and antisemitic content following a stabbing attack of four
toddlers and two adults in France. CEP also found a neo-Nazi accelerationist
video on Telegram that endorsed acts of violence and contained photos
glorifying the Charleston church shooter and the Poway synagogue attacker. The
Nationalist Social Club
<[link removed]>
(NSC) also called for increased propaganda campaigns.



In addition, CEP researchers located posts on 4chan that contained anti-Arab,
anti-Muslim, and anti-immigrant statements and a post that advocated violence
against African Americans and Jews. The latter included an approximate
45-second clip containing extreme violence taken from the May 2022 Buffalo
terrorist attack
<[link removed]>
video.



CEP researchers also identified a new website and corresponding social media
channels for a Swedish chapter of the white supremacist active club movement,
and a neo-Nazi accelerationist manual on the Internet Archive.



Finally, ISIS took credit for assassinating the Taliban-appointed governor in
Badakhshan, Mawlawi Nisar Ahmad Ahmadi, through its Amaq News Agency. The
pro-ISIS group, Qimam Electronic Foundation, published a list of programing
language training applications on PasteThis.To, expanding on its efforts to
instruct users on how to use encrypted apps and other secure channels to avoid
surveillance.



White Supremacist and Neo-Nazi Content Located on Instagram



In a sample of content on Instagram located on June 7, CEP researchers found
five accounts that posted content glorifyingantisemitism
<[link removed]>
, white supremacism, and neo-Nazi groups. Three profiles posted copies of the
same video containing footage fromAtomwaffen Division
<[link removed]>
(AWD) propaganda videos. One of the accounts posted additional AWD compilation
videos. An account with over 350 followers posted an AWD propaganda compilation
video, antisemitic and racist content, advocated acts of violence and attacks
on electrical infrastructure, and included a link for the sale of 3D printers
in their bio. The same user posted about various 3D-printed firearms builds and
posted a URL where firearms plans could be downloaded. CEP also located an
account belonging to the racist and antisemitic National Justice Party. CEP
reported all five accounts to Instagram on June 8. Four days later, one account
had been removed by Instagram. An AWD compilation video, as well as other
content that promoted violence and white supremacism remained on the social
media site.

Online Extreme-Right Promotes Anti-Immigrant and Antisemitic Messages After
Annecy, France Stabbing Attack



Online right-wing extremists, including white supremacists, made a variety of
anti-Arab, anti-Muslim, anti-immigrant, and antisemitic posts following an
attack in an Annecy,France
<[link removed]>
park on June 8 where a man with a knife stabbed four children and two adults.
French authorities stated that the 31-year-old assailant, originally from
Syria, had been denied asylum in France because he already had refugee status
in Sweden.



Multiple accounts on Telegram, including members of white supremacist groups
such as active clubs and users of imageboards on the surface and dark web,
posted messages blaming Muslims for the attack or advocated joining white
supremacist groups. French authorities stated that the assailant wore Christian
religious symbols, and his ex-wife told French media that he was a Christian.
It was unclear whether extreme right posters ignored this information and used
the opportunity to push anti-Muslim propaganda or were unaware. A French
prosecutor said the attacker wasunder investigation for attempted murder
<[link removed]>
.



Users on Telegram spread footage of the attack paired with white supremacist
slogans and blamed Jews for allegedly forcing immigration to Europe. Multiple
users on 4chan posted anti-Arab, anti-Muslim, and anti-immigrant statements on
the forum. A Twitter user posted approximately 10 seconds of violent footage
from the Christchurch terrorist attack on the platform, glorifying anti-Muslim
violence. The same account included a link to the Christchurch attack video on
Mega.Nz in their bio. CEP reported the content to relevant national authorities.



Neo-Nazi Accelerationist Video Located that Advocates Violence



On June 6, CEP located a neo-Nazi accelerationist video posted on several
Telegram channels that endorsed acts of violence. The footage contained
screenshots of pages taken from an accelerationist manual originallyreleased

in June 2021. The video contained Telegram posts from previously deleted
channels, advocated violence against Jews and Muslims, and contained photos
glorifying the Charleston church shooter and the Poway synagogue attacker.



New Website for Swedish Active Club Located



CEP researchers located a website for a Swedish chapter of the white
supremacist active club movement. The site consisted of a message stating that
content would be added soon and links directing visitors to the group’s
Telegram, Instagram, and TikTok pages. The website uses Cloudflare as its name
server and Loopia AB as its registrar.

Neo-Nazi Accelerationist Manual Located on the Internet Archive



On June 8, CEP researchers located a neo-Nazi accelerationist manual on the
Internet Archive. The manual, originallyreleased

in July 2022, advocated for acts of terrorism, including attacks targeting
infrastructure, law enforcement, politicians, people of color, Jews, Muslims,
Sikhs, Latinos, and LGBTQ people. The text also offered bomb-making
instructions and directions for live-streaming attacks to copy the Christchurch
terrorist. Additional content provided advice on operations security, target
selection, and conducting surveillance on targets. The book was uploaded on May
16, 2023.



Footage from Buffalo Attack Located on 4chan



On June 5, CEP researchers located a post from the same day on 4chan that
advocated violence against African Americans and Jews. The post contained a
fraudulent Black Lives Matter message and an approximate 45-second clip
containing extreme violence taken from the May 2022 Buffaloterrorist attack

ten counts of murder as a hate crime, claimed he was inspired by browsing 4chan
