CEP Advisor Liam Duffy writes: "If you’ve been bewildered by the actions of certain British institutions of late, you’re probably not alone.

The discontent and distrust these bodies attribute to pervasive mis-and-disinformation is at least partly driven by a form of moral dislocation between the majority of the public, and the increasingly ideologically homogeneous professionals who scold them and manage their affairs."

"Peeking through the windows of strangers and constantly staring at the crematorium have taken their toll. The house was purchased by the Counter Extremism Project (CEP), an NGO that fights extremist groups, radicalism, and online recruitment of extremists. They have clear plans for the building – they want it to become the home of the Center for Research on Hate, Extremism, and Radicalism, and they would like to turn it into a space where people can learn and talk about extremism and the fight against it."

“The former Polish residence of the Nazi commandant at Auschwitz will soon open its doors to the public as a center dedicated to combatting antisemitism, extremism and hate... The property at 88 Legionow Street, dubbed “House 88,” served as the family home to Rudolph Höss, the orchestrator behind the gas chambers and crematorium at Auschwitz, where approximately one million Jews were sent to their deaths. The upscale villa, once famously referred to by Höss’ wife as a “paradise” with its lush gardens and a swimming pool, was recently purchased by New York-based charity the Counter Extremism Project (CEP), with the intention of transforming it into a space for research, education and advocacy.”

CEP Senior Director Dr. Hans-Jakob Schindler writes: "A dangerous cocktail of indifference and complacency enabled al-Qaeda to evolve from a shadowy fringe network in the early 1990s into one of the most destructive and infamous terrorist organizations the world has ever known. Early warning signs – including attacks on U.S. embassies in East Africa and on the USS Cole – were dismissed as distant dangers, failing to provoke a coordinated decisive response in Western capitals. This complacency paved the way for the tragedy of 9/11. As the several attacks in Europe and the recent tragedy in New Orleans have shown, history is starting to repeat itself, except now the scale of the problem is larger, the geography more expansive and the consequences equally dire."
