Most of al-Qaeda’s video echoes the Left’s line on January 6, alleged systemic racism in the U.S., etc. Why? Because both have the same goals.
“Video From Al-Qaeda’s Al-Sahab Media Wing Asserts U.S. Is Headed For Civil War As A Result Of COVID-19, Collapsing Economy, January 6 Riot, Black Lives Matter Protests And Civil Unrest; Encourages Trump Supporters To Read Al-Qaeda’s ‘Inspire’ Magazine, Suggests Biden May Be Assassinated: ‘The Drumbeats Of Impending Civil War Can Clearly Be Heard,'” MEMRI, July 23, 2021:
The video lists the “Five Cornerstones Of America’s Coffin” which it defines as “Corona, divisions, racism, a declining economy, and strikes by the mujahideen.” It describes the effects of COVID-19 in the U.S., the “decline not just of the American economy but the entire capitalist economy,” which it describes as “a usury-based economy, an inflated balloon waiting to implode.” It mocks the response of the administration of U.S. President Joe Biden to the January 6 riot at the Capitol, and anticipates civil war in the U.S., saying: “The drumbeats of impending civil war can clearly be heard. In fact, it was a civil war that brought the mother of all evils into existence, and it shall be a civil war that marks its ultimate doom.” The video describes the impact of the Black Lives Matter (BLM) protests and “the spread of the ideology of white supremacy,” suggests that U.S. President Joe Biden may be assassinated, and encourages supporters of former president Donald Trump to read Al-Qaeda’s “Inspire” magazine.
This video is essentially a re-packaging of material Al-Sahab has released in the past. The events mentioned in the video occurred no later than several months ago. Another video released by Al-Sahab on July 15, 2021, which discussed Al-Qaeda’s response to France’s perceived insults to Islam, such as the Charlie Hebdo cartoons mocking Islam’s founder Muhammad, similarly discussed events that took place months earlier.[3] The failure of Al-Qaeda’s central media to comment on events in a timely fashion, as well as its refraining from denying or confirming rumors of Al-Zawahiri’s death, which have circulated since November 2020,[4] reduces the relevance of its message to the organization’s supporters and other Muslims who may be receptive to its call. It is difficult to speculate on the reasons for this delay in publishing material, but it may be related to the killing of Al-Qaeda spokesman and second-in-command Husam ‘Abd Al-Ra’ouf aka Abu Muhsin Al-Masri in Afghanistan in October 2020.[5] It is possible that the circumstances surrounding his death have led to disruptions in Al-Qaeda’s central media.
The following report will review excerpts of the video. Click here to view the video on MEMRI TV.
“Corona, Divisions, Racism, A Declining Economy, And Strikes By The Mujahideen – The Five Cornerstones Of America’s Coffin”
The events mentioned in the video seem to have occurred no later than March 2021 and certainly not after April 14, 2021, when Issue Five of Ummah Wahidah was published. The video argues that the U.S. is on the verge of collapse, asserting that the “five cornerstones of America’s coffin” are the COVID-19 pandemic, a declining economy, racism and resulting tensions between blacks and whites, sharp internal political divisions, and ongoing attacks by Al-Qaeda.
COVID-19 And The “Decline Not Just Of The American Economy But The Entire Capitalist Economy,” “A Usury-Based Economy, An Inflated Balloon Waiting To Implode”
Referring to COVID-19, the video states that “an invisible soldier, corona, penetrates the decaying American polity.” The pandemic led, according to the video, to the loss of millions of jobs, the closing of hundreds of thousands of businesses, and made “more than 30 million Americans suffer from food shortages.”
Claiming that the economic losses caused by the pandemic “threaten the very existence of America” and indicate the decline of “the entire capitalist economy,” the video says that the U.S. government responded to the economic crisis with actions that help the rich get richer while the poor remain in poverty. The video adds that Allah “decided to punish America with an even more savage torment,” sending severe weather during the winter, “freezing water supplies and cutting off electricity for millions,” so that Americans lined up in “mile-long queues in the quest for potable water and food to stave off their hunger.”
Video Mocks The Biden Administration’s Response To January 6 Riot – ‘The Raiders Of The Congress’
The video discusses the January 6 riot at the Capitol, whose participants it referred to as “The Raiders of the Congress. The evangelist terrorist extremist followers of the Trump cult.” The video said: “These are the same people that Biden labels ‘homegrown terrorists.’ Things reached a point where Schumer demanded the imposition of travel bans to Washington, not on those arriving from Yemen or North Korea, but from Texas and Florida.”
Mocking the U.S. government response to the riot, the video says: “Pelosi ordered the creation of a commission to investigate the events of the 6th of January like the 9-11 commission. So, will this be followed by the opening of a new ‘Guantanamo’ for Trump’s terrorists? And the invention of new spying techniques targeting Americans like the ‘Wind Stellar’ program. Perhaps things will end at the use of EIT ‘Enhanced Interrogation Techniques’ such as waterboarding and sleep deprivation to force Trump’s terrorists to disclose their plans for the next attack on the Congress and perhaps the White House. Maybe Biden would use his weapon of choice, drones, to assassinate ‘high value targets’ hiding in the deserts of Texas or the beaches of Florida. These ‘HVTs’ would be none other than the supporters of Trump who ‘terrorized’ the members of congress, and forced them to hide like scared rats, a scene which surely pleased Trump.”
“His revenge of the day when he was forced to hide in the White House out of fear of an attack by the supporters of Pelosi who had no qualms gloating over Trump’s misfortunes… As for the liberal media, it launched its attacks on the Daesh of Washington and on their leader and chief instigator the former American president, Trump, who behaved as if he was a member of Daesh.”
The video recommends that staff at U.S. media outlets get training from Al-Jazeera and refers to Ashli Babbit, who was reportedly shot by security personnel inside the Capitol on January 6, as a “Kharijite[6]“: “The producers of the shows aired on these channels need to attend training sessions @ Al Jazeera & Al Arabiya in the art of distorting the image of ‘terrorists’ and projecting them as the embodiment of the devil. The victims of the ‘war on terror’ in Washington reached five dead among them a woman, a homegrown terrorist or a ‘Kharijite’ from the ‘Khwarij of the contemporary era.’ It later transpired that she was a fighter pilot in the US Air Force! The Department of Defense launched a ‘background check’ program to sift out terrorists from the armed forces.”
Video Anticipates Civil War In U.S.: “The Drumbeats Of Impending Civil War Can Clearly Be Heard… And It Shall Be A Civil War That Marks Its Ultimate Doom”
Discussing January 6 generally and the unrest in the U.S., the video says: “The events of the 6th of January exposed the fragility of the Democratic system. The strongest fortress of democracy in the world was on the verge of falling as a result of an attack by a few thousand demonstrators.”
“Had it not been for the intervention of black policemen who confronted the attackers and dislodged them from the hideout of the members of congress, the world would have witnessed a blood bath. Pelosi, Schumer, Adam Schiff, and perhaps, the ‘traitor,’ the vice President Pence who refused to intervene to impede Biden’s victory, would have all been hanged on gallows erected in the lawns of the Congress.”
“It was Allah’s wisdom that the fourth plane whose downing was ordered by Dick Cheney on the 11th of September did not reach its target, and Americans were left to destroy the edifice of their democracy with their own hands…”
“The purchase of weapons spiked last year in America, reaching unprecedented levels not witnessed in decades. The drumbeats of impending civil war can clearly be heard. It was a civil war that brought the mother of all evils into existence, and it shall be a civil war that marks its ultimate doom. In fact, the commencement of this civil war has just been announced by none other than Biden himself in his inauguration speech when he called it an ‘uncivil war…'”
Black Lives Matter (BLM) And “The Spread Of The Ideology Of White Supremacy”
Stoking the same divisions it identifies as one of the “cornerstones of America’s coffin,” the video comments on the killing of George Floyd and the resulting Black Lives Matter (BLM) protests, saying: “When it comes to racism and the spread of the ideology of white supremacy, we can never forget the scene of four white policemen strangulating a black man to death as he shouted: ‘Let me breathe.’ The poor fellow had perhaps forgotten all that the white supremacists had done to his forefathers and so black America rose up in rebellion over the killing of George Floyd…”
“The streets of America overflowed with everyone unsatisfied with the situation. Black and white, racist extremists, leftist radicals, the hungry, the needy. Arsons became commonplace. Stores were robbed. Highways shut down. A curfew was announced, and the army came out on the streets.”
The video goes on: “Soon, the Republicans will raise the slogan: ‘White lives matter’! In a futile attempt to mimic the slogan ‘Black Lives Matter’!”…

Fear mongers pushing the hate that Islam is to the core. Islam has done this for 1400 years. Islam if your listening you can’t force patriotism out of the people
we will fight you to our death just only it will be on our turf
this country will prevail

Amen

More BS propaganda from Islamists regarding the USA with the help of the Left. Thank God for websites like Jihad Watch and Frank Speech, leaders like President Trump and the Prager U videos, it has become easier for people to call BS on this kind of propaganda.

This sort of thing is for young Tarik Trashcani in the slums of Londonistan, or Daud al-Droopydrawers and Butch Bachabazi just out of a US juvie (the names are made up in tribute to that tribe of youngsters who are so rye-chee-uss they’ll never be caught dead without their kufi, yet who try to look tough by dropping their pants and showing their boxers to all and sundry). It’s to encourage them to make trouble for the rest of us, and expend their young lives for the glory of Allah and some bloated, middle-aged perv with an oversized bump on his forehead.

You just saw the disgust of a veteran high school teacher who has witnessed the elf-destructive behaviors rampant in various communities, and who is now being pressed to teach “social justice”. In fifty years, I’ve see the radicals go from calling me a “fag” for refusing to follow them (I’m hetero to the bone, thank you) to telling me I need to kiss a homosexual’s big toe. I’ve seen them push the young Eldridge Cleaver’s promise to rape my mother and sister to pushing for a right to not be offended. They told me that Marxism-Leninism didn’t work only because it was implemented by the Slavic Uentermenshc, the Primitive Asiatic, and the black and mulatto masses poor Fidel and Che were left with after the great Cuban exoduses of the 1960’s–and then they accuse me of “racim” at every turn. They want a war over the gender of English pronouns, but care less that I address my students’ parents as “Padres Estimados” in Spanish; or that I read pre-modern Chinese texts–a culture that was not known for sexual equality–in which pronouns are not gendered at all. Yet these provincial lout-ettes (? or, is lou only masculine?) dare to say I’m “monocultural”.

Which is why the Democrat Party should be added to the list of terrorist groups, such as al Qaeda, ISIS, Hizbullah, Hamas, Muslim Brotherhood, Tabhleeghi Jamaat, Lashkar e Toiba, Harkat ul Mujaheedin, Hefazat e Islami and the whole host of alphabet soup of jihadist groups worldwide
Both Islam and the Democrat Party need to be banned
Wellington says
Not banned, Infidel, “merely” properly characterized and exposed.
Liberty, you know, can deal with enemies of liberty, actually rather easily, but what is mortal to liberty is liberty not realizing that an enemy of liberty is successfully posing as something good or innocuous to freedom.

Are al Qaeda and ISIS allowed to freely operate in the US? For all his shortcomings, that’s one thing that President Bush got right when he banned the former from having any transactions anywhere, and in fact spread that throughout the world. I’m arguing that the Democrat Party should be treated exactly that way. They’re not afraid to demand the cancellation of their enemies, and neither am I.. I’m sure that to enough Americans, both they and islam are pretty well exposed
The BLM riots, together w/ the seditious agenda should be enough to get them declared a treasonous organization along the lines of an FALN. That, combined w/ this declared foreign support should earn them a ban. People who are left of center or left can start voting for the Greens, Peace & Freedom parties or any of the other alternatives on ballots

Walter Sieruk says
he jihadists of Qaeda ,no doubt, greatly enjoy the prospect of coming “civil way” in America that might lead to her collapse .
This not too far in the future of a possible major disaster in America is aided by that Socialist Joe Biden who is ,very much under the control and influence of that Communist VP Kamala Harris are together are sinister plot wreck to wreck the USA are both , with their Red/Green alliance are the epitome of evil and destruction.
As Karl Marx had written “If we can but weld our souls together, then with contempt shall I fling my glove in the world’s face, then I shall stride through the wreckage a creator !”

That despicable Biden /Harris team is the epitome of the personification and embodiment of the Red/Green Alliance, with all its evil and madness and they might have had their sinister hands in inciting this possible coming “civil war.”
This is all so awful that it may be truly said that “ The inauguration day of Joe Biden January 20, 2021, as President of the USA is as the official launching day, May 31, 1911, of the ship that was the Titanic into the ocean.

The Islamicist failed to mention that it is not they who brought America to its knees but neoliberalism. Of course states like Pakistan and Afghanistan under the Islamic model are totally failed states rather than the merely dysfunctional USA.

Let’s get it on and get it over. I have no desire to slowly bleed to death while the rest of the world wagers on my chances of delivery. If the last flame of liberty is extinguished and even the embers have died this sickening stew of ideologies will eventually blow itself up and Darwin will have another go at it. It’s the constant speculation from both sides hoping to keep themselves relevant that prolongs the misery. I am just a pawn in the middle. End Times? Who knows?
