1) Breaking: #AlQaeda Central, aiming for resurgence, seeks to compete with #ISIS' media in new issue of "One Ummah" magazine in English. The issue gives timely mention of America's current tumult: #COVID19, #GeorgeFloydProtests, political & economic turmoil, and more.
2) This new issue comes just weeks after last issue of AQ's One Ummah, released May 22 in Arabic. Like this new issue, May's One Ummah made timely reference to FBI investigation of Pensacola attack. Today's issue reinforces this fast production capability.
3) Capitalizing on racial inequity protests throughout the US, #AlQaeda picked up its long-running thread on racism towards blacks, promoting Malcolm X & disparaging Dems & Reps like. Blames Biden, Pelosi, Clintons, McConnell, Trump & others for injustice. ent.siteintelgroup.com/Statements/al-…

1) @realdonaldtrump has announced plans to mobilize military against protests, yet he completely fails to acknowledge that the most serious expressions of violence are coming from the far-right. In doing so, he’s painting a false picture of America’s terrorist landscape.
2) To be clear, the far-left absolutely has bad actors, but let’s not make false equivalencies. At @SITE_FRFL, we’ve been tracking far-right and far-left for years and it’s not even close: 99.9% of violent threats and mass shootings are from the side with the swastikas.
3) Instead of addressing any of this, POTUS announces terrorist designation of Antifa, a movement (not an "organization") whose flag is no more prescriptive/specific than the Don’t Tread on Me flag.

But when it comes to far-right terrorist threats, nothing but crickets.

1) As expected, extremists seizing on pandemonium from protests & riots after George Floyd's killing: calls to place “crates of Molotov cocktails” in crowds, fabricate racist chatter from police scanners, murder, arson, and sparking riots in other cities. ent.siteintelgroup.com/Far-Right-/-Fa… Image
2) Of note that threats against police coming not just from far-left, but also far-right, who have stated police should “get the rope.” Some far-right-associated entities have even gestured unusual solidarity with the protestors against the police. ent.siteintelgroup.com/Far-Right-/-Fa… Image
3) This is not to suggest violent racist commentary hasn’t been out front. Many in the far-right, echoing responses to other race-focused protests, assert victims of police brutality likely “deserved it,” hoping to see more black people killed through clashes with protesters. Image
