Oh boy this video is not gonna get demonetized at all Hello everybody and welcome back to the Willy St Willy Channel yet again now today we’re going back to a more classic style of Willy St Willy content and that would be an iceberg chart more specifically the Terrorist and extremist
Organizations iceberg juicy topic I know now if you’re a hardened veteran of the Willie St Willy Channel then you already know what an iceberg chart is it’s essentially a chart that can cover a wide variety of any sort of topic ranging from childhood cartoons to conspiracy
Theories but essentially the charts start at the tippy top of what is the most widely known and common knowledge about whatever topic it is down to the depths of what is the least well known or obscure about that topic and the topic we’re covering today would be terrorists
And extremist organizations and if uh you’re not familiar with what terrorism is well then I’ll explain that to you as well terrorism in its most broadest sense is the use of intentional violence and fear to achieve political or ideological aims and it can range from domestic terrorism centered
In one country or region to International terrorism that expands to multiple countries or regions now when it comes to extremist groups every terrorist group is an extremist group but not every extremist crew is a terrorist group if that makes any sense to be considered an extremist
Organization you basically have to to be a group of people whose beliefs and ideals and goals and actions fall far outside of what is considered normal by Society very broad definitions I know but luckily for us the lovely creator of this Iceberg just so happened to color code all the
Individual groups to show what sort of ideological leading and tendencies they go towards just for our categorical pleasure organizations that are in Gray are considered fundamentalist extremist groups red being right-wing extremist groups and blue being left-wing extremist groups the creator also left us definitions of what is considered fundamentalist left-wing and right-wing
Extremist groups which I will read to you now so fundamentalist organizations are organizations whose motives rely on a set of fundamentals usually but not exclusively religious or can be related to business or other beliefs as well so most of the groups you’ll see at this list who are
Fundamentalists are religious extremist groups left we extremism generally a form of extremism characterized by an emphasis on ideas such as Freedom equality fraternity rights progress reform and internationalism anarchists communist socialist and alike are all regarded as left-wing I don’t know about you but like equality and rights and freedom sound pretty cool
In my opinion so I don’t know how that’s a good definition for left-wing extremism but you know what I digress right-wing extremism generally a form of extremism characterized by an emphasis on Authority hierarchy order Duty tradition reaction and nationalism fascism racial supremacists move
Into the like are all regarded as right wing now for the sake of my own sanity I’m going to be breaking down this Iceberg into multiple Parts So today we’re going to be covering the first
Two tiers in this Iceberg and I’ll be sure to get the next part out for you guys as soon as humanly possible also I’m gonna try not to spend too much time on each individual group but I’ll be sure to
Cover enough so you guys kind of get the gist of what each one’s about alright now that all the setup is out of the way without further ado into it starting off with tier one this terrorist group needs no introduction introducing Isis otherwise known as isil otherwise known as the Islamic
State or the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria or the Islamic State of Iraq and Levant sorry they have a lot of names sorry Isis is a transnational militant islamist terrorist group and it used to be an unrecognized quasi-state in Iraq and Syria they were founded by abu’s musab al-sakarwi in
1999 and they gained Global prominence in 2014 when they captured large swaths of territory in Iraq and also Syria by taking advantage of the Syrian Civil War at its peak they had around 30 000 Fighters within their group but as of 2019 they’re basically a underground Insurgency as
They pretty much lost all of the territory they had gained and they still are active and they do tax here and there but they’re mostly a shell of their former self now and I doubt they’ll ever
Come to the same promise they once were I mean we can only hope they won’t up next we have Al Qaeda which is a soon pan-islamist militant terrorist group and you might recognize that name as they are most notable for the September 11 2001 attacks they self-identify as the Vanguard spearheading a
Global Revolution whose goal is to unite the world under a Ultra nationalist Islamic State known as the caliphate they were founded by Veterans of the Soviet Afghan war with Osama Bin Laden being the original founder and leader and they’re basically dean of terrorist organization by almost
Every country known to mankind the planet so yeah uh not very good guys to say the least Boko Haram is another militant islamist terrorist group and their official name is the let me see if
We read this right group of the people of Sunnah for dawa and Jihad okay yeah Boko ROM does roll off the tongue better so yeah they’re based in Northeastern Nigeria but they’re also active in other African countries such as Chad Niger or Northern Cameroon their main goal is basically
To overthrow the Nigerian government and establish an alternationalist Islamic State and for a while the mid-2010s they were actually deemed the most dangerous terrorist group in the world so very impressive title I guess guys weird flex but okay they were initially founded by Muhammad Yusuf in
2002 and since it’s death they’ve splintered into multiple different factions but their main goal originally was to spread Sunni Islam and seek the destruction of Shia Islam in Northern Nigeria also during their Heyday they aligned themselves with a group known as Isis that I mentioned previously in
2019 the president of Nigeria Dean Boko Haram as technically defeated so they’re still technically active but they’re obviously nowhere near the same level as they used to be al-shabab is another Sunni islamist militant group with their full name being harborcott al-shabab al-bujah Dean and
Their current participants in the ongoing Somalian civil war with their main goal being establishing an Islamic State and Somalia and they’ve also been known to align themselves with Al Qaeda the Taliban which also refers to Itself by its state name the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan
Is a Islamic militant and nationalist group that currently controls the country of Afghanistan now originally from 1996 to 2001 they controlled about three quarters of the country before being toppled by the U.S Invasion and since the US’s departure in August of 2021 they since regained control of
The entire country and they’re most frequently known for restricting the rights of women and children and just overall enforcing shairaland not being very cool or chill guys at all Hamas otherwise known as the Islamic resistance move it is a nationalist Islamic military organization
Which is a little bit unique compared to the other Islamic fundamentalist groups I mentioned before as they have both a military Wing aspect of the organization in a social service wing of their organization by many are actually seen as a legitimate political Authority and they’re
Basically the de facto governing body of the Gaza Strip they also hold a majority in Parliament within the Palestinian National Authority many countries like the US regarding the entire organization as a terrorist group but there are others that only regard the military
Wing as a terrorist group while other countries don’t regard them as a terrorist organization at all like Switzerland or Russia or Norway next up we have the KKK otherwise known as the Ku Klux Klan the Ku Klux Klan oh no regarding as a white supremacist and far-right terrorist group by many
They seek to Target several different ethnic and religious groups within the us such as Hispanics and Jews and Latinos and Asian okay it’d be easier to list people they don’t Target basically anybody who’s not a white Protestant Christian is on their radar to be targeted the KKK is seen as having
Three different phases throughout its history originally being founded by Confederate Veterans in the 1860s and using terrorism and harassment to suppress African Americans they’ve since been a lot more underground in modern day and they’re not very active anymore like they used to be and
Funny enough like I didn’t know this I I found this out researching but uh officially they’re not even designated a terrorist group by the US government like they some states have designated them but the federal government has not designated them a terrorist group which I don’t know why they
Never did but they haven’t but they’re seen by everyone as an extreme reactionary movement so yeah not very chill guys all around next up we have the Rodney movement which to be honest it’s basically like a cult that uses Psychotherapy and elements of eastern and western philosophy
To groom its victims and members but anyway they’re originally founded by Indian Mystic known as bhagwan tree ragnish otherwise known as asho they were a very controversial group of the 1970s and 80s with the founder being very hostile towards Hindu morality within India then later on
Christian morality in the U.S and even the Soviet Union chimed in and Dean of a reactionary and aiding the bourgeoisie which is like so basically he made enemies everywhere he went so yeah all this controversy with iranish move it came to a head in 1984 when they get this committed a
Bioterrorism attack by poising several different salad products within Wasco County Oregon and they basically a poisoned 751 people with salmonella in an effort to try and rig the local election so they can gain seats within the county and this story is insane while I was reading this like
It involves the bioterror attack and even like a huge wiretapping Scandal like this whole thing can make a video on its own but they’re basically an insane cult that’s the best way I could sum them up the provisional Ira otherwise known as the provisional Irish Republican Army was an Irish
Republican left-wing militant nationalist group that sought to unite all of Ireland in one country and in British rule in Northern Ireland they saw themselves as the successor to the original Ira during the Irish war of independence and they were the most prominent paramilitary group within Irish
Republicanism they were designated as a terrorist group within the United Kingdom and designated an unlawful group within the Republic of Ireland itself the IRA committed a series of bombings and terroristic actions throughout Europe during the time period known as the troubles in Ireland
And all this finally stopped when a ceasefire was called in 1992 7. after the ceasefire the political wing of the IRA known as Shen Fein which was finally recognized as a legitimate party within the multi-party system came to talks during the Good Friday agreement in 1998. after
The Good Friday agreement most of the political violence finally came to an end and in 2005 the IRA formally ended its armed campaign and started to decommission a lot of their weapons even though the IRA is not currently considered active you’ll still see occasional political violence in
Northern Ireland and maybe the occasional pipe bomb the Kurdistan Workers Party or the pkk is a left-wing militant political organization and armed Guerrilla movement they’re primarily based in the mountainous Kurdish majority region of Southeastern turkey and Northeastern Iraq
Originally the group started out as wanting an independent Kurdish state but now they just seek to have more political and cultural rights within the country of Turkey the ideology of the group is mixed with a bit of revolutionary socialism and Marxist leninism and with a healthy dash of
Kurdish nationalism the pkk is designated as a terrorist group by the U.S and many other EU countries but the designation have seen as a bit controversial by many as many point out that they no longer participate in Terrorist activities and simply look for education and political reform
Next up we have Hezbollah or this party of God or party of Allah and it’s a Lebanese Shia islamist political party and militant group and since 1992 it’s a led by Secretary General Hassan nasarala now it has two wings and is the paramilitary wig known as the Jihad Council and has the political
Wing known as the loyalty to the resistance block party now midi countries have designated them as a terrorist group but in Lebanon itself it’s seen as a legitimate political party so much so that in 2006 its strength surpassed that at the actual Lebanese military next up we have the Black
September organization which is a Palestinian militant group that was founded in 1970. now the group has been inactive since 1988 but it did have a few notable terrorist attacks such as the Munich Massacre which saw the deaths of 11 Israeli athletes and a West German police officer as well
As the assassination of Jordanian prime minister was vital Mexico FIFA or just the anti-fascist which is a left-wing anti-fascism and anti-racist group within the United States it consists of mostly decentralized autonomous groups and there are several different means of which they convey
Their message usually through Civil Disobedience but in some instances through just direct violence Now antifa isn’t considered a terrorist organization but they are considered an extremist group and they came to clash with several different police departments and cities and also other political organizations especially far-right ones the proud boys is an exclusively male
Far-right militant group within the United States and they’ve been deemed as terrorist organizations by several different countries such as New Zealand and Australia they’ve been convicted of violently opposing the US government and they’re mostly known for their participation in the January
6 interaction and also their weird cult-like neo-fascists following a former president Donald Trump next up we have the ayumu shinariko which I believe translates to Supreme truth they’re basically a Japanese Buddhist new religion movement otherwise known as occult and they’re
Both famous for the sarin gas attacks that took place in Tokyo Subways in the 1990s their founder shoko ashara and many of the other members were put to death in 2018 for the sarin gas attacks and as of 2022 the United States government took them off the terrorist organization list because they
Are seen as a mostly defunct group next up we have the maoist Communist Party of India and this one’s pretty straightforward the remarks is Limitless political organization and militant group and they have since been banned throughout the country of India their main goal is to overthrow the
Current government of India which they deem as semi-futile and a semi-colonial state and since 2009 the Indian government has designated them as a terrorist group next up we have a very old terrorist plot but uh we have the gunpowder conspiracy otherwise known as the Gunpowder Plot
Of 1605. the gunpowder conspiracy was a failed assassination attempt on King James the first by a group of Catholics who had sought to restore the old Catholic monarchy and end the persecution of Catholics in England the plan led by Robert katsby was essentially trying to blow up the House
Of Lords which would then in inside a revolution that would overthrow the monarchy and their plan was basically to replace King James the first and replace them with his nine-year-old daughter Elizabeth who was to be installed as the Catholic head of state obviously this plot didn’t work and
This whole conspiracy just faded away into English History next up we have the Lord’s resistance Army which is a Christian nationalist organization that mostly operates in Uganda South Sudan and the Congo their stated goals are the establishment of a multi-party democracy that adhered to the Ten
Commandments the lra was designated as a terrorist group by the U.S but it’s since been removed from that list and they’ve been guilty of various amounts of crimes like in human rights violations like murders abductions a specific type of child slavery I’m not going to say what it is but uh
Yeah uh pretty heinous guys the as of Italian is a volunteer paramilitary group under the command of Andrew balitsky whose main goal is to fight pro-russian forces in the dambas region of Ukraine the as of Italian has since been incorporated into the National Guard of Ukraine and they’re deemed
As a far-right militia group with ties to with many other members being or wearing symbols and it’s yeah it’s crazy they’re frequently used in Russian propaganda as an example of like Ukraine the Boogaloo boys or the Boogaloo movement is a Loosely organized far-ride anti-government militia
Group and the Boogaloo in their name refers to a future possible second American Civil War or revolution called the Boog or the Boogaloo the members of the Boogaloo movement itself kind of vary a lot as they can range from just pro-gun right-wing Libertarians just straight up and their
Main goal is to pretty much try to incite a second American Revolution or Civil War now like many good and wholesome things on the Internet it’s been theorized that they might have started on 4chan before spraying to other websites although it’s just kind of unproven it’s kind of iffy but
They’re most notable for wearing Hawaiian shirts or Hawaiian themed clothing to identify members now while I have no other way to really incorporate this or bring it up so I’m just gonna say it but supposedly supposedly uh windigoon himself into Papa goon himself might
Have been a founding member of the Boogaloo movement now according to him he didn’t really start the balloon movement as if it became today and it mostly just started as a funny little like pro-gun thing or him just going by the moniker of the Boogaloo boy so I you can’t even if it
Is true you can’t really blame him for what the movement became because he just kind of separated himself from it but still it blew my mind when I was researching this I I saw that I was like
Oh my God please tell me that’s not true this is insane so I have no way to bring that up I just wanted to say it yeah moving on for the record I believe Mr goon when he said that he didn’t intend
For this to become that way this kind of just happened so obviously don’t attack him or anything I still love win a goon we all do but uh I just thought that was crazy and had to bring it up so
Yeah anyway moving on starting off with tier two we have the May 19th communist organization otherwise known as the May 19th Coalition there are far left militant group that was formed by members of another fall life organization known as The Weather Underground and their namesake
Comes from the birthdays of both Malcolm X and Ho Chi Minh they were acted from 1978 to 1985 and the membership consisted of people from the Black Panthers and white Panthers and the Republic of new Africa with this group Coalition formed they had three main objectives number one
Being freeing political prisoners within the U.S number two being appropriating capitalist wealth which basically just means doing armed robbery and stealing money to fund a supposed future Revolution and interesting fact uh the Bolsheviks in the Soviet Union did the same
Thing and that’s how you get this cool picture of young Stalin’s mug shot I just thought that was funny as I want to add that note in there and number three initiating a series of terrorist attacks and bombings as a way to kick-start a workers Revolution within the U.S this group
Has been defined since 1985 with the arrest of several of its key members next up we have the ustazi or the Croatian revolutionary movement and they’re basically a far right Ultra nationalist fascist movement that was acted from 1929 to 1945 in the former Yugoslavia this group
Is most notable for their participation in the assassination of King Alexander the first in 1934 and also helping the Germans during the 1930s and carrying out the um I think YouTube Center this
Awards I’m not going to say it but uh the Hall of you know costs uh that thing uh which resulted in the deaths of many Jews and Romani people within Yugoslavia and uh yeah overall very bad guys but
Once the Germans surrendered in 1944 the movement basically entirely collapsed next up we have the Abu Nadal organization otherwise known as fatah and they’re basically a Palestinian nationalist militant organization that split off from the PLO in 1974 and several different countries such as
The US and Israel have designated in a terrorist group but they’ve been defunct since 1997. combat 18 or the c18 is a um uh I’m pretty sure YouTube Center this Ward but they are a Neo no no German
Fascist movement that originated in the UK the movement was founded in 1992 and since starting in the UK they’ve since spread to Canada the US and Germany and the group was most notable for the assassination of German politician Walter lubic and interesting fact they were the first far right
Group to be labeled build a terrorist organization by Canada in 2019 so uh yeah the more you know the simonees Liberation Army otherwise known as the SLA is a far left militant organization that was acted from 1973 to 1975 and interesting fact the FBI designated them as a terrorist organization
And claimed that they were the first terrorist group to arise from the American left they’re most famous for a shootout they had with Los Angeles police in 1974 and after the shooting many of the members died and in 1975 the remaining members were apprehended the Black Liberation Army was an
Underground Marxist leninist militant organization that consisted of members from the Black Panthers and the Republic of new Africa so my little buddy Nigi decided to pay me a visit so uh here he is uh Nigel do you have anything to say about the Black Liberation Army
I guess that’s a no they were acted from 1970 to 1981 with their main goal being to take up arms against the United States government to fight for the freedom and self-determination of black people within the United States the organization carried out a series of bombings and murders against
Police officers and drug dealers and the reason the membership in the organization grew was due to the decline of the Black Panthers after the death of Fred Hampton the red hand Commando is a small Ulster loyalist group whose main goal was to fight Irish republicanism in the ira
Itself and to maintain Northern Ireland as a part of the UK They carried out a series of bombings and shootings primarily against Catholic civilians in Northern Ireland and they even let other loyaltist groups claim attacks in their name they also went by other names such as Red
Branch Knights and also loyalist retaliation and defense group they’re named after the red hand of Ulster which is the symbol for Ulster in Northern Ireland and ironically enough their motto is even an Irish Gaelic which is an ironic they’re trying to be part of the UK but uh I believe hopefully I
Don’t butcher this pronunciation but it’s which means red-handed Victory sorry anybody speaks gay look out there uh yeah that was terrible National Socialist underground was a far-right German neo-fascist terrorist group that was uncovered in November 2011. the group was mostly
Associated with three members named UE mundelos UE bonhardt and bite zshop who lived together under false identities the group’s existence was only discovered after the deaths of Barnhart and mundlos in the subsequent arrest of zshop the group is most notable for their series of
Murders across the early 2000s of foreigners and immigrants and also a series of 14 bank robberies so yeah they were really living that Point Break Lifestyle the Red Army faction was a far left Marxist leninist Guerrilla group that was formed in 1970 with the primary goal being to overthrow
The West German government the RAF engaged in multiple bombings and assassinations and robberies and kidnappings and all of this culminated in 1977 during the height of their activity known as the German Autumn speaking of West German terrorist groups we have another one called revolutionary
Cells which was a self-described urban Guerrilla organization the group was actually in 1973 and 1995 and even though they committed multiple series of attacks throughout West Germany and West Berlin they’re most famous for their 1976 hijacking of an Air France flight in
Cooperation with the Palestinian Liberation Front during the hijacking they basically just rerouted the flight to Uganda where they gained temporary Asylum until the hijackers were killed by Israeli Defense Force during a hostage Rescue Mission the Japanese Red Army was a militant communist
Organization acted from 1971 to 2001 and they operated mostly out of Lebanon with help of the Palestinian Liberation Front and also received funding from Muammar Gaddafi of Libya now their stated aims were pretty straightforward they wanted to overthrow the Japanese government in
Monarchy and also start a World Revolution so uh yeah pretty modest goals the base is a fascist Neo No-No German paramilitary group and underground trading organization that was formed by a man named Ronaldo nazaro she’s got a name kind of rolls off the tongue a little bit in 2018 they’re
Active within the U.S Canada South Africa and throughout Europe in June 2018 Ronaldo going under the pseudonym Norman Spear and Roman Wolfe bought several Acres of Off the Grid land in Washington state for a survivalist training camp Ronaldo used to work for the FBI and the Pentagon but moved to
Russia shortly after founding the base where he directs his activities for mayor interesting fact in November 2020 a featured leaked documentary was released about the Beast and broadcast on Russian television they’ve been designated a terrorist group by the UK New Zealand Australia
And Canada the Adam waft division otherwise known as the National Socialist resistance front is a far-right militant fascist organization based in the Southern United States and founded in 2013. they’ve since spread their influence across the United States and throughout Europe and Argentina
And they’ve been designated a hate Group by the Southern Poverty Law Center as well as a terrorist organization by multiple governments Adam waffenvision also has multiple propaganda video showing them burning the Constitution of the United States dates and calling for attacks
Or the suppression of multiple different ethnic minorities with their main goal being to establish an ethno State and multiple different planned terrorist attacks and murders have been attributed to them Army of God or just AOG is an underground Christian terrorist organization within the U.S
That is responsible for multiple accounts of anti-abortion violence they were founded in 1982 in multiple murders and kidnappings have been attributed to them and they are kind of a decentralized network as they don’t have one Central Authority or leader so their actions are
A little bit harder to track but the Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security consider them an active underground terrorist organization whether underground was a far left Marxist militant organization that was founded in 1969 on the Ann Harbor Campus of the University
Of Michigan originally known as the weathermen they were founded by members of the students for a Democratic Society organization and their main goal is to act as a sort of Vanguard party in order to overthrow the government of the United States the FBI designated them
As a terrorist organization and interesting fact during the cia’s illegal co-intel Pro activities that involved heavy surveillance and infiltration of different political groups whether underground was one of their primary targets so uh yeah the more you know janjaweed is a Sudanese era militia
Group that operates mostly out of Sudan and their membership mostly consists of Sudanese Arab tribes many of whom are most notable for their camel hurting so that’s why you’ll see many pictures of John Dewey with them riding camels and Emmy guns because many of them are camel herders and uh
Interesting facts uh this blew my mind because I’m gonna read this off because I don’t think you guys believe me when I first read this I didn’t really believe the number so apparently into October 2007 the US government declared that the John Dewey killings that had been occurring in the region
Of Darfur uh killed an estimated of uh 200 to 400 000 civilians over the course of three years um 400 000 people within three years for a small militia group is um insane to me but
I don’t know that just stuck out to me so I had to bring it up the don-esque People’s Republic is an internationally unrecognized Republic of Russia in eastern Ukraine so in 2014 after Ukraine’s revolution of dignity in their election basically a pro-russian nationalist forces erupted
Into chaos in eastern Ukraine and many of the pro-russian paramilitary group sees government buildings and declared the donax People’s Republic to be established and I guess I can kind of rope these two entries together because the luhans People’s Republic essentially has the
Same origin as the donx People’s Republic just in the neighboring region in eastern Ukraine now these countries have basically been virtually unrecognized in the International Community with only really Russia and a couple other countries recognizing them as independent states and
Obviously this is kind of going unresolved with the current ongoing war in Ukraine so they’re kind of in a weird limbo state of being an independent country or just part of Russia or being a part of
Ukraine it’s a whole thing I’m not going to get to do it can make up its own video honestly yeah the next Stitch I hope I pronounce right but uh the Nar denaya volia or the people’s will was a 19th century revolutionary socialist political organization and left-wing terrorist group that
Attempted to overthrow the Zara’s system in the Empire of Russia this group is most notable for serving as the inspiration and Forerunner for future socialism Anarchist groups that arose through the Russian Revolution especially these Russian socialist revolutionary party
And even though they were a socialist group they kind of get roped into Marxism however they came into conflict with many other Marxist intellectuals at the time but yeah still a cool part of Russian history the Muslim Brotherhood is a transnational Sunni Islam organization founded
In Egypt in 1928 by their founder Hassan albana yeah I’m pronouncing that right who is a scholar and a school teacher ibotta’s teaching spread far beyond Egypt and influenced many other Muslim organizations many of which were extremist groups and he’s looked to as an inspiration by
Several different countries and organizations and political groups to this day that’s it guys that is the end of tier two and the end of part one of this Iceberg now don’t worry guys I’m gonna
Try my best to get part two out as quick as I can I know you guys love it when I do these icebergs at least I hope so and you’re not faking it but guys my channel has been getting a lot more love
Recently and it really warms my heart I love seeing you guys my comments and you guys are just fun okay throw I have a real fun time making these videos with you guys and if you happen to
