Inhaltsangabe

Discover the Future of Terrorist Fundraising Operations Today

The sophisticated fundraising strategies used by today’s most deadly jihadi groups will disturb you.

After two years of intensive monitoring of jihadis’ use of cryptocurrencies, the Middle East Media Research Institute’s (MEMRI) Cyber Jihad Lab in Washington, D.C., reported its findings to Capitol Hill. With startling detail, The Coming Storm presents previously unpublished research, op-eds, congressional letters, a short video, and examples of online jihadi engagement.

Former Deputy Commander of the United States Cyber Command Vincent R. Stewart calls it: "The first significant research of its kind . . . a must-read for all those in government, the military, and academia who are concerned about this dangerous development."

This 200-page landmark study reveals with definitive clarity:

• Jihadis’ growing use and promotion of cryptocurrencies as easy, safe, and secure
  
• How millions of dollars in bitcoin donations are being used to fuel operations by ISIS, Al-Qaeda, Hamas, the Muslim Brotherhood, and other terrorist groups
  
• The widespread use of Telegram, Facebook, Twitter, and other social media platforms to spread terrorist propaganda
  

Intricate fundraising strategies that finance attacks, weapons, equipment, food and necessities for fighters’ families

You can’t afford to wait until a major terrorist attack occurs to take action. Counter terrorism by understanding how its future is unfolding right NOW.
