“In related news, a video has gone viral on the internet. It seems that a group has finally claimed credit on the terrorist attack on Naval Air Station Key West. This group, calling themselves True Justice, released a minute-long video that has made waves across social media. We will play it to you now but be warned, some of the images are graphic.”

A black screen appears with arabic text. Images depicting destruction and the effects of war flash across as a man’s voice slowly narrates.

“I am the lost sound of the fallen. The voice of a generation of endless bloodshed. Your soldiers have desecrated our lands. Your drones have slain our elders. Your missiles have devastated our homes. Your false promises have tarnished our hearts. To you, I say no more. I have slain your knife in the shadows. Your time of false victory ends here and your reckoning has only just begun. I am the Avenger, the bringer of True Justice and nothing can save you from the totality of my vengeance.”

The reporter returns, “This video has multiple translated copies which have totaled tens of millions of views over the last 6 hours. It was trending across Youtube, Twitter, Facebook, and Reddit. Despite many attempts to remove them, the videos have kept resurfacing. The authorities have not yet responded. Our experts say that True Justice is a new organization born from more radical elements of the dominant militant groups in the Middle East. Their leader, Avenger, is a voice for the extremists who felt subdued by ongoing peace talks. Now, he is making waves. We will bring you more updates as the story unfolds. Next is an update on the weather and local news, stay tuned.”

This scene repeats itself across various news broadcasts in many countries in many languages. Different language versions of the same video had been deployed across the web so people didn’t need official translations to watch the footage. Specifically, the video had copies in the official languages of all NATO powers. The Avenger was subtly declaring war on America and its Western allies.
