CEP research reports on Robert Rundo and the Nordic Resistance Movement.
"Edmund Fitton-Brown, Senior Advisor to the Counter Extremism Project and former Ambassador of the UK to Yemen, told MailOnline this evening 'it could all very easily spiral out of control'.
'In essence, I think Iran and Israel would both prefer to avoid escalation out of control,' he said.
'But Iran (and Hezbollah) both want to be seen to respond to the Israeli assassinations.
'Calibrating such responses in such a way as to save face and yet avoid escalation gets more difficult with each successive round of skirmishing.
'The US is also part of this picture, seeking both to restrain Israel and to deter Iran,' he said."
CEP Senior Advisor Ian Acheson writes: "The Home Secretary has admitted a thing that has long been known to those of us without close protection officers: that in many communities, people often feel that ‘crime has no consequences’. "
"The Counter Extremism Project has also warned of the threat from 'active clubs', which were created in the United States in 2020 to 'make fascism fun'."
"But the Counter Extremism Project said there was increasing evidence to suggest the network’s main objective was the creation of 'shadow militias' that could be called upon for violent action."
"'Was it embarrassing? Absolutely,' said Hans-Jakob Schindler, senior director of the Counter Extremism Project. 'But was it a security threat to the Olympics and its participants? Absolutely not.'
'They’ve done a fairly good job at making sure that everyone at the Games was safe,' he said."
"That afternoon, one policy body, the Counter Extremism Project (CEP), was invited to discuss its submission, which chiefly focuses on warning of what it describes as the 'next challenge' to be posed by Australian neo-Nazis: the adoption of the 'Active Club' model."
“Fearing terrorist attacks, the organizers have canceled the three upcoming concerts of US pop star Taylor Swift in Vienna. Terrorism expert Hans-Jakob Schindler says that we must not give in to the pressure of terrorists.”
"To gauge the level of threat, elDiario.es spoke to one of the leading experts on the subject: Hans-Jakob Schindler, founder and current director of the Counter Extremism Project (CEP) –based in New York and Berlin– and former head of the UN Security Council Sanctions Monitoring Team against the Islamic State (Daesh), Al Qaeda and the Taliban. A diplomat and expert in intelligence and security, Schindler has been studying the evolution and development of organisations considered strategic threats by a large part of the international community since the 1990s."
CEP Senior Advisor Ian Acheson writes: "he spasm of violent disorder that has gripped England and Northern Ireland over the last week has thrown the issue of prison capability back into the spotlight. Before the brutal murders of three children in Southport, it looked just about possible for our national jail service, running at 99% capacity, to stagger over the line in September when the reduction in time served by the incoming government from 50% to 40% took hold and gave some respite."
