American intelligence firm SITE says the wave of online support that the Christchurch attack continues to attract is unlike the response to any other right-wing attack | npomalley

The Christchurch terrorist attack has prompted an unprecedented surge in online activity by white supremacists as well as a call by a group with Islamic State links for attacks on Australians travelling in Indonesia, according to ongoing analysis by an American intelligence firm.

She said SITE, a US-based private intelligence agency that monitors online extremism for corporate and government clients, is monitoring a surge in calls for similar attacks by far right extremists, many of who are calling for further similar attacks. SITE has also collected calls for white supremacists in New Zealand to steal guns in the wake of newly implemented gun control measures.

Writing in the Daily Beast earlier this month Ms Katz noted that while right-wing extremists sought to exploit the Christchurch attack in online venues ranging from community-specific forums like Stormfront and Vanguard News Network to alternative, free-speech-purposed social media platforms like Gab and Minds, jihadists were doing the same thing on platforms like Telegram messenger and Facebook.

'Unprecedented' surge of online extremism after Christchurch'It's like nothing we’ve ever seen’: A US-based private intelligence agency that monitors online extremism is seeing a surge in calls by the far right for more attacks in the wake of Christchurch. Why is that a surprise? After hundreds of Islamic attacks globally for years that are constantly minimised by governments and high profile public figures, the crazies out there were just as bound to strike back as the loonie Islamists have and do! It’s not rocket science! 🤯🤯 I hardly believe this - yet to meet a so called white supremacist in this day an age - far more extremism on the left - “ private” intelligence agency says it all! Being on the right does NOT mean you are a white supremacist or a racist or bigoted! Fake news . Islam and the far left is the real extremist problem.
