Extremist Content Online: Neo-Nazi Manifesto Siege Re-Emerges For Sale On Lulu
Despite Previous Removal For TOS Violation

(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, three separate uploads of
James Mason <[link removed]>’s
neo-Nazi manifestoSiege
<[link removed]> were
made availablefor purchase
<[link removed]>
on the website Lulu, a print-on-demand, self-publishing, and distribution
online marketplace that halted sales of the book from its site in April 2019.
Additionally, CEP researchers located the website for a North American-based
neo-Nazi group which features essays idolizing Adolf Hitler and national
socialism, and encourage the spread of anti-Semitism and racism.

CEP also identified four ISIS Amaq News videos that were uploaded to Telegram
and spread across multiple other platforms, with each video displaying
terrorist brutality such as an execution, post-attack wreckage of an Iraqi
police vehicle, mortar attacks and an attack against the Iraqi armed forces
that included a bombing and heavy machine gun fire. Finally, a pro-ISIS website
featuring violent ISIS propaganda videos, ISIS weekly newsletters and daily
Amaq News updates was located by CEP researchers on the .pw domain after being
previously removed from the .info, .xyz, .win, .in and .ru domains.

Website For Neo-Nazi Group Located

CEP researchers located the website for a North American based neo-Nazi group
that uses Dreamhost as its name server and registrar. The group claims to
defend their “race and nation.” Essays on the group’s page praise Adolf Hitler
and national socialism, and encourages the spread of anti-Semitism and racism.
The website contains photos from a banner drop in Arizona, and the posting of
propaganda in several unnamed locations. Members of a Telegram chat for
supporters of the group have praised Brenton Tarrant, posted content from the
Nordic Resistance Movement
<[link removed]>, and
spread conspiracy theories.

Four ISIS Amaq News Videos Located

CEP researchers located four ISIS Amaq News videos the week of May 16 to May
22. The first video, uploaded on May 17, showed the execution of a man
identified as a Kurdish deminer. The video was uploaded to Telegram, and links
were spread on RocketChat and Hoop. The video was uploaded to at least 10
websites: Amazon Drive, File.Fm, Streamable, Top4top, Dropbox, Mediafire, the
Microsoft One Drive, the Internet Archive, Ok.Ru, and Mega.Nz. Three days
later, the video was available on at least three websites in addition to
Telegram: Mediafire, the Internet Archive, and Ok.Ru.

Three additional videos showed what ISIS claimed was the wreckage of an Iraqi
police vehicle after an attack, the use of a mortar against an Iraqi military
installation in Anbar province, and what the terrorist group claimed was the
bombing of an Iraqi army vehicle and firing a heavy machine gun at a military
installation in Anbar. All three videos were uploaded to Telegram, and had
their links spread on Telegram and Hoop. All three videos were uploaded to at
least eight websites in addition to Telegram on May 20: File.Fm, Yadi.Sk,
Ok.Ru, Top4top, Mail.Ru, Mediafire, Dropbox, and Mega.Nz. Approximately one day
later, all three videos were still available on three websites in addition to
Telegram: Ok.Ru, Top4top, and Mediafire.

from the .info
