Maybe they don’t want to give too many details until the story’s been spread, they don’t want it to be debunked or investigated for ‘the rest of the story’ too soon.

I knew it! I said it days ago, once the white supremacist angle lost steam, the FBI would arrest some patsies to bolster the narrative and keep it going! Now, the media has it’s ‘PROOF’. Just like Mueller issuing indictments to Russians, the media said that was proof of Russian collusion. Open and shut case, til the end of days, it will now forever be known that right-wing extremists were behind all the rioting and looting of 2020.

Just heard this about 25 minutes ago. Fox “News” radio was breathlessly reporting it at the bottom of the hour. The perps were described as right wing. I’ve never heard them use the phrase left wing.

I remember back in the Clinton admin days the ATF and FBI swooped in and arrested 19 “militiamen” in Nevada, and charged them with conspiring to bomb a federal building. During the trial, a video was planned that showed one man repeatedly insisting that the group watch a videotape on how to bomb a building. This occurred over two or three meetings, each time the guy was voted down. At the last meeting after theh guy insisted that they watch it, the gave up and let him play the video for them, just to get him to shut up. Turned out the guy was a federal agent. The judged dismissed the charges against 18 of the men and convicted one on a minor weapons violation which resulted in a fine.

The Boogaloo Bois Prepare for Civil War!

Story by Michael J. Mooney

As the FBI warns of violence, anti-government extremists are ready to get in on the chaos.

Let’s start with what boogaloo isn’t.

It isn’t, mainly, a white-supremacist organization, though there are some white-supremacist boogaloo bois.

It isn’t a collection of Trump supporters ready to fight for the president, like, say, the Proud Boys. Despite the various attacks—planned or carried out—against police officers and government officials, boogaloo also isn’t a militia in any traditional sense of the word. It isn’t even really a movement.

It’s more like an absurdist internet culture propagated by libertarian-leaning gun enthusiasts on 4chan—the anonymous, Wild West version of Reddit—that has somehow moved into the real world. It’s jargon and memes and jokes and a sometimes-serious desire to bring about a violent revolution to overthrow the U.S. government.

Like nearly everything about boogaloo, the ideas and terminology are simultaneously ridiculous and terrifying.

The term boogaloo, for example, can refer to the purveyors of this culture or to an event: a violent revolution some of them hope to hasten, dubbed Civil War 2: Electric Boogaloo. The name itself is a takeoff on a pervasive internet joke, an allusion to a 1980s dance movie, Breakin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo. (Take a moment to pity historians, centuries from now, as they try to understand how the name of a dance-movie sequel turned into the name of a proposed nationwide insurrection.)

JJ MacNab has studied anti-government extremist groups for more than 20 years. As a fellow with the Program on Extremism at George Washington University, she’s tracked the boogaloo bois online since last fall, when she saw an uptick in memes calling—in a jokey way—for a civil war.

Excerpted: More at the link below & become totally confused!
