3 with ties to white extremism accused of plotting mayhem at protests
Atlanta Journal-Constitution ^ | 6/4/20 | ArLuther Lee

Three men with ties to the U.S. military and alleged to be members of an extreme white supremacist group face multiple terrorism conspiracy charges of planning to wreak havoc at protests in Las Vegas over George Floyd’s death.

Federal prosecutors say the men belong to the far-right “Boogaloo” movement and not the American militant anti-fascist movement Antifa, which President Donald Trump continues to blame most for stoking violence around the country.

***

Activists monitoring social media activity of extremist groups online amid the protests have identified the loosely organized right-wing movement called “Boogaloo,” which is a code word calling for a second Civil War.

***

Meanwhile, the FBI has so far found no evidence that the American militant anti-fascist movement Antifa has been involved in violence that erupted during national protests over the death of Floyd.

Floyd, a 46-year-old black man, died on Memorial Day after a white police officer in Minneapolis reportedly knelt on his neck for nearly nine minutes.

Violence exploded across the country in the days since his death, but the FBI’s Washington Field Office reported “no intelligence indicating Antifa involvement,” according to an internal FBI memo obtained exclusively by The Nation, a progressive U.S. weekly magazine.

You people have zero clue. The Boog Movement is very real, and it isn’t what you think it is. It’s extremely pro 2nd Amendment, Extremely Libertarian, Extremely anti racist, anti Communist/Socialist/Progressive, We despise the militarization of Law Enforcement. We also despise both major political parties, neither respects the Constitution and have become the enemies of the people. The movement membership is composed of mostly Veterans. There are older Vets, but the majority are post 9/11 Vets. Our one and only goal is the restoration of the Constitution and the principles this country was founded on. That in nutshell is the Boog Movement.

I figured this had to be from the Babylon Bee or the Atlanta Urinal-Constipation.

Ok, who are they? Where are the arrests? Where are the Hawaiian shirts? Here in Raleigh, the arrested looters were career leftist agitators. Give me the names of some of these boogaloo people that have been in the protests.

Boogaloo is a new one for me, too. A couple of them were arrested for conspiracy, but as far as I can tell none have show up at any incident to cause trouble.

“I never heard of boogaloo until today. Sounds totally fake.”

They are fake in the sense that they’re anywhere near Antifa and BLM, who kill cops and burn down cities.

Below is every reference from the Wikipedia article (26 total). A couple of them arrested for ‘plotting’ to do bad things, but still not a singe articles states that any of them committed ANY type of violence.

These 3 met just a few weeks ago at a covid-19 lockdown protest??
And within days (!) began discussing an attack on the US power grid (!) & various false flag schemes to blame on Antifa?
Planning while covid was still happening & George Floyd/Antifa riots weren’t even a thing yet?
And the FBI almost simultaneously got wind of the plot?

Whoa. I’m calling BS.
PsyOps, agitprop.
This “case” will never be discussed again, because: never happened.

Good point - until something ACTUALLY happens, we have NO CLUE as to what groups are or what they stand for. Short of actual violence, they’re simply small groups of fantasizing men with guns who are getting egged on by who-knows-who (probably feds).

You knew that was coming. If I was betting, I would bet all three are FBI or CIA. I am surprised that it took them so long. But there are those on here that worship the FBI.
