Extremist Content Online: ISIS Propaganda Video Calling For Terrorist Attacks
Resurfaces

(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, a pro-ISIS supporter
recirculated a previously released propaganda video calling for terrorist
attacks through vehicles, knives, and arson, and published it on multiple
online platforms including JustPaste.It, Microsoft One Drive, and the Internet
Archive. Additionally, the seventh issue of the pro-ISIS web magazine “Voice of
Hind” was released on numerous websites.

 

Meanwhile, members of the extreme right-wing and white supremacists praised
Kenosha, Wisconsin shooter, Kyle Rittenhouse, on Telegram, and 8chan successor
imageboards. In addition, a Facebook group called “the Kenosha Guard” called
for armed individuals to travel to Kenosha to oppose protesters and defend
property. CEP researchers also located a white supremacist Telegram channel
promoting violence against law enforcement, as well as several pieces of
extremist content on Soundcloud.

 

Additionally, a white supremacist extreme right-wing prisoner support group
requested that individuals send material to incarcerated individuals with the
aim to radicalize prisoners. Finally, white supremacists on Telegram and 8chan
successor imageboards celebrated Christchurch terrorist, Brenton Tarrant,
leading up to and on the day of his sentencing.

 

ISIS Video Calling For Terrorist Attacks Recirculated

 

On August 27, an ISIS supporter recirculated a previously released propaganda
video via JustPaste.It, the Microsoft One Drive, the Internet Archive, and a
Telegram bot. Approximately 10 hours after it was uploaded, the video was still
available on the Microsoft One Drive and the Telegram bot, with links still
available on JustPaste.It. The video, titled “Incite the Believers,” was
originally released on July 26, 2020. The video advises the viewer to commit
attacks using available means such as vehicles, knives, or fire to commit
arson. The video specifically encouraged committing arson, including wildfires
and setting fire to agriculture due to the economic damage caused by mass fires
and the ease in committing the attack.
