1) A couple important points about Brian Maiorana, the 54-year-old sex offender who called for “extermination‌ ‌of‌ ‌anyone‌ ‌that‌ ‌claims‌ ‌to‌ ‌be‌ ‌democrat…as‌ ‌well‌ ‌as‌ ‌their‌ ‌family‌ ‌members‌” in retaliation for #Election2020. washingtonpost.com/nation/2020/11… Image
2) Maiorana was a rabid white supremacist & anti-Semite. “The Turner Diaries must come to life,” he wrote, referencing the popular far-right novel in which race war in America leads to extermination of non-whites & other enemies. But his ideology is actually the least scary part. Image
3) Maiorana’s calls to kill dems & their families is far from anomalous. All over soc media, users—not just white supremacists—musing of “rivers of Blue Blood in the Streets” & “Trump: Kill Em All.” Others declaring “Trump or War.”

This is the fire @realDonaldTrump is stoking.
4) Maiorana's tweets show how activated he was amid unrest. Longed for violent “white strike” & praised Kyle Rittenhouse, wishing for "10 thousand" of him.

“body bag manufacturers would have had a very good year...still may. The election is not far off.”

As mis/disinformation infects #Election2020, citizens are right to examine what is happening on social media platforms like @Facebook, @Twitter, and @YouTube. But as they ban conspiracy theorists & others, these users are increasingly resorting to “alternative” platforms.
Such accounts are growing on platforms like MeWe, Gab, Parler, and Bitchute. When I say growing, I mean *growing.* Below is a compilation of screenshots from #QAnon groups we’ve been tracking at @SITE_FRFL this past month on Gab, showing increases by the tens of thousands. Image
Same type of growth indicators can be seen on Parler, which has gained popularity as high-profile Trump allies have embraced it this past year. Here’s the account of General Flynn, who has become a prophet-like figure within #QAnon, nearly quadrupling in followers. Image

Attack in Jedda Saudi Arabia at non-Muslim cemetery injures at least three during ceremony commemorating end of World War I, where representatives from numerous countries were present and injured. No group has yet claimed responsibility.

aljazeera.com/news/2020/11/1…
2)While not clear who was behind the attack, it does come amid incitements against Saudi Arabia from #ISIS spox specifically calling on Saudis to attack Western nationals in the country, which catalyzed a large-scale media campaign from IS-linked groups w/ posters, vids & quotes ImageImageImageImage
3)Its also worth noting that #AQAP, which has a history of attacking #SaudiArabia, recently criticized the country in an Aug. speech from top official Qosi. The speech incited for violence, but specifically the assassination of Saudi Crown Prince, not random foreign nationals. Image

Kudos to @doj & @FBIPortland for indictment of Portland resident Hawazen Sameer Mothafar—cannot be overstated how important this is. Mothafar worked w prominent #ISIS-linked group Dera’ al-Sunni (Sunni Shield) & its mag, “Anfaal.” Arrest marks major blow to ISIS’ media machine. Image
Sunni Shield a prolific producer of pro-#ISIS incitements & propaganda. Its posters alone, w strong focus on the West, have threatened/incited for New Years attacks in NYC, Paris, Turkey, etc. Was among loudest cheering on #AustriaAttack. @siteintelgroup's DB shows ~1000 entries Image
Sunni Shield also produced “Anfal” magazine, which ran Nov 2017 - March 2019. Anfal became de facto replacement of Rumiyah w strong emphasis on attacks (poison/bomb/weapon manuals, locations, targets), OPSEC (e.g. using TOR & VPNs) & republished Naba material. Image

BREAKING: Reports that senior #alQaeda official Abu Muhsin al-Masri (AKA Husam Abd-al-Ra’uf) killed by Afghan forces. Masri was believed to be 2nd in command under AQ leader Zawahiri & served as the organization’s media chief. No confirmation from al-Qaeda as of yet. Image
Abu Muhsin al-Masri was a leading figure in #alQaeda's Shura council, strategy, & media (including as-Sahab).
If confirmed, another blow to an already weakened AQ that has lost many leaders—among them Hamza Bin Laden, whom AQ still hasn't commented/confirm his death to date. Image
Al-Masri last appeared in Sept 2018 vid, condemning Pakistani soldiers as "terrorists" on 4th anniversary of military offensives in N Waziristan. He also wrote an article in AQ's One Ummah mag, in which he discussed negative impacts of cartoons on children ent.siteintelgroup.com/Multimedia/aq-… Image

Breaking: #ISIS released a new audio message by it’s official spokesman Almuhajir Abu Hamza al-Quraishi titled : “So Relate the Stories, Perhaps They May Reflect”. Speech discusses American "failed" policies in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, and other locations.
The speech, published by #ISIS ' central media division, #AlFurqan Media Foundation, appears to have been recorded in the past month, as Qurashi notes Bahrain normalizing relations with Israel, which took place on September 15.
Spokesman: ISIS leader, Qurashi directed a message to the Muslims all over Africa, noting Burkina Faso, Chad, the DRC, Kenya, Mali, and Nigeria, inciting them against Christian missionaries, and encouraging them to pledge to ISIS and fight "Crusaders" and "apostates" alike.
