Bottom Line Up Front

The eco-fascist Terrorgram Collective has been remarkably busy with their propaganda in the past week on Telegram, but not so much on asserting the tenets of their ideology, but more on the implementation and follow-through of their vision. 


Many Telegram channels across the entire Terrorgram Collective celebrated and promoted the 14 June release of the third manifesto / stochastic instructional guide, "The Hard Reset," a 261-page publication offering readers multiple ideas and insights on identifying targets, constructing home-made bombs, and achieving large scale sabotage attacks and causing mass causalities - all to save only the White race. 

However, just prior to that release, on the same day, the Terrogram Collective shared a released publication, "Make it Count - A Guide for the 21st Century Accelerationist," which advocates for lone wolf assassination and infrastructure attacks. Further, in the days leading up to the publications' release and the days following, there has been heavy distribution of more instructional propaganda on building 3D-printed weaponized drones and the advocating for the use of ghost guns to assassinate politicians.

Islamic State Supporters Circulate Incel Chad Male Photo Meme Mirroring Racist’s Propaganda

Image:  Islamic State  supporters circulate 'Chad Male' mirroring racists memes

White Nationalists, racists, Nazis and Fascists have all adopted jihadist propaganda techniques and language for a few years now. But more recently, Islamic State supporters have picked up the concept of memetic warfare and have taken many of the same sarcastic meme’s mimicking extreme right-wing memes.


This is the first time TRAC has recorded IS supporters using the exact same image a the extreme far right; it is clear that IS supporters knew where they were co-opting the image from.

The wounded include, the Minister of State for Women, Asha Khalif, the Minister of State for Health, Abdi Moalim and the former speaker of the parliament.

TRAC Incident Report:

Alleged Terrorists Launched Attack on a ‘Petróleos de Venezuela, S.A’. (PDVSA) Oil & Gas Pipeline in Monagas State, Venezuela

Image: Aftermath of the attack

On 18 July 2022, Venezuelan authorities announced that a terrorist attack was launched against a natural gas pipeline operated by the state oil company, PDVSA in Monagas state. However, there was no specification made as to which terrorist group might have carried out the attack. A huge blaze developed following attack, but was reported as being under control by the joint effort of PDVSA workers, the Bolivarian National Armed Forces (FANB), technical personnel and firefighters. 


A day later, the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV) First Vice-President, Diosdado Cabello, blamed the United States for the attack to the Monagas state pipeline, saying that at least two Americans with a map of the refinery had been captured while they were about to carry out the attack. However, Cabello gave no further details about those detentions and it should also be noted that Venezuela doesn't really invest in their own infrastructure and many of the oil pipeline facilities are often in disrepair.
