Have you heard of the Boogaloo? Basically they're anarchists who would like to overthrow the entire government. Some of them got arrested after they infilitrated a protest and were planning on using pipe bombs and the like. They don't care about what the protesters do. They are trying to use the protests to incite violence. The FBI has caught some of them, and they will be prosecuted.

The Disturbing Appeal of Boogaloo Violence to Military Men

Parshall, 35; Andrew Lynam, 23; and William Loomis, 40, were arrested at a Black Lives Matter protest in Las Vegas. But the trio weren’t there to protest the death of George Floyd, prosecutors say. Instead, they allegedly planned to throw Molotov cocktails and incite violence, in the hopes of sparking greater unrest.

Their Las Vegas cell came under investigation in April, when one of Parshall and Lynam’s associates contacted the FBI about what that person claimed was the two men’s interest in conducting a terror attack, prosecutors said. The person agreed to become a confidential informant in the group, and gathered with members as they allegedly discussed plots to commit violence and overthrow the government.

The trio allegedly went heavily armed to a “re-open” rally in Las Vegas—one of the largely conservative protests attended by people who wanted to end COVID-19 business closures. There, they allegedly talked of targeting government infrastructure, like a ranger station at a nearby lake.

During later meetings, they allegedly planned to blow up a power station and throw smoke bombs at a different re-open protest. (They allegedly went to the protest but got cold feet when they saw cops watching them.) Finally, on May 30, they allegedly attended the Black Lives Matter protest with Molotov cocktails and a plot to spark chaos. The FBI arrested all three on the spot.

I assume the FBI is still investigating these people's connections. Don't be surprised if more arrests are made. Trump talks about Antifa, so you parrot him and talk about Antifa; but it looks as if maybe Boogaloo may be more a threat than Antifa. The FBI is on top of it.

The only "Boogaloo" that exists in in a Ringo Star song!

There is nothing new about the FBI strong-arming an individual to falsify facts and turn on others to to save their own necks. There is no conspiracy or "Boogaloo"! Three people is not a viable Movement that is going to overthrow the Government!

Surely, there are bad players in this world. Pedophiles exist, but not everybody that likes to have "sex" is a pedophile; not everyone that has "sex" is "Boogaloo"!

You take 330 Million people, and in that composite, you will find White Racists, Black Racists, Hispanic Racists and even Asian Racists! What does that prove? You will find people that want a total Fascist form of Communism and everything run by the State. You will find some people that are Anti-Government and think that they can militarily take over the Government. You can always find some people who are on fringe of society. You could add committed Christians to that Camp!

The article is head-spinning nonsense that tries to connect the dots into a detailed grand conspiracy where the only place it exists is in the mind of the mentally unstable writer!

Talking about how a group might overthrow the Government is not a crime.; organizing to do it is. Until you prove that such an Organization of militants exists, it is a discussion, not a conspiracy. Protesting a "Rally" (Better known as a Race Riot) with a means to protect yourself from the very things the Rioters you are protesting have in their hands, is not a crime.

"During later meetings, they allegedly planned to blow up a power station and throw smoke bombs at a different re-open protest." Planning a terrorist act is a crime; throwing smoke bombs is not! Perhaps "disorderly conduct" but it is just "smoke". It is not like they were going to beat any protesters or shoot them in the back of the head... like these BLM "Mostly Non-Violent Protesters" have done! Only a lunatic could connect the dots and say that these are "equal"!

"Finally, on May 30, they allegedly attended the Black Lives Matter protest with Molotov cocktails and a plot to spark chaos. The FBI arrested all three on the spot." Yet, every Black protester that was carrying a Molotov Cocktail that later torched the city was apparently "unseen" by the FBI, and no arrests were made! Why is that?

I should write an article about these Black protesters, and give them a silly demeaning name too! The "Booga-Booga's"! They plan on sowing discord, overthrowing the Government! Is that not true? The Booga-Booga's are Organized, and it is a Conspiracy! Is that not true? Where Oh where is the FBI? Sleeping; or just ensuring that the Deep State wins as usual?

You speak of fascism. The true fascists, those who would support a dictatorship in conjunction with big business...aka the NWO but with an occult religious twist behind with the guiding reins as in Nazi Germany, have symbols and signs that they love to display as a boast of their power. Most secret societies do this... You may notice how popular it is for celebrities etc to do their hand signs etc and have various pics on their album covers. But back to fascism, American history had numerous examples of occult design in architecture and other various medium. Here is one....

There are numerous other examples throughout government, coinage, architecture, and the arts etc of these and other similar revealing that the goals for America recently being exposed through the media and so called conspiracy theory sites aren't new.

Regarding fascism....
It was a symbol used widely in the Roman Empire and it consists of rods bound together around an axe. This axe is the origin of the term Axis Powers for the fascist countries in the Second World War. The symbolism is of people and countries bound together under a common centralised dictatorship, the axe.
Not only was this used by Ancient Rome back in the day as one of its Symbols of "Supreme Authority", but also by the Original "Axis Powers" of Europe back in the first half of the 20th Century prior too and during WWII.
Numerous governments and other authorities have used the image of the fasces as a symbol of power since the end of the Roman Empire. It has also been used to hearken back to the Roman republic, particularly by those who see themselves as modern-day successors to the old republic

Why? So they could become the New Boss that everyone hates?

We'll be fighting in the streets
With our children at our feet
And the morals
That they worship will be gone
And the men who spurred us on
And the judgment was all wrong
Decide and let the shotgun
Sing the song, woo
Yeah, I'll tip my hat
To the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin and change all around
I pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again, oh no
Woo, dig it
Well, there's nothing in the streets
Look any different to me
And the slogans are replaced, by-the-bye

And the parting on the left
Now parting on the right
And the beards
Have all grown longer overnight
Well, I'll tip my hat
To the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
Hey, we don't get fooled again, woo
Don't get fooled again, no
Come on, yeah, come on
Ooh, yeah
I'll move myself and my family aside
If we happen to be left half alive
I'll get all my papers and smile at the sky
'Cause they know that the hypnotized never lie
Watch it
Yeah
They're all wasted
Yeah
Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss
Won't get fooled again, oh no, oh no, no
Don't get fooled again, no, no
Yes
-The Who (Pete Townshend 1971)

If you did not understand the Article about Boogaloo, the Great Prophet and Foreseer, Ringo Star gives us much more clarity on the subject:

Back off boogaloo
I said, back off boogaloo
I said, back off boogaloo, boo

[Verse 1]
Back of boogaloo
What do you think I'm going to do?
I got a flash right from the start
Wake up, meat head
Don't pretend that you are dead


[Pre-Chorus]
Get yourself up off the cart
Get yourself together now
And give me something tasty
Everything you try to do
You know it sure sounds wasted


[Chorus]
Back off boogaloo
I said, back off boogaloo
Come on, back off boogaloo, boo

[Verse 2]
You think you're a groove
Standing there in your wallpaper shoes
And your socks that match your eyes



[Chorus]
Back off boogaloo
I said, back off boogaloo
Come on, back off boogaloo, boo

[Pre-Chorus]
Get yourself together now
And give me something tasty
Everything you try to do
You know it sure sounds wasted

[Chorus]
Back off boogaloo

Come on, back off boogaloo, boo
Back off boogaloo

I do not belong to Facebook since I consider it a reckless site. I also don't like how they spy on people.

You make me smile when you talk about lies when Trump lies so much himself. I think you may be living in fantasyland. One reason I stopped being a Republican when Trump became the nominee was because of all his lies. I didn't have to depend on the media or Facebook -- I could hear him saying one thing one day and the opposite shortly after.
I look at the lesser of two evils

Biden is dangerous. But if that’s your cup. Of tea, go for it. You want socialism he will help you make your dream come true

Socialism? That's what we're getting from the Republicans if you pay attention. We do not have free enterprise or capitalism anymore. We have state run enterprise to benefit the fat cats -- very similar to the Chinese and Russian models. Corporations don't save money anymore. Few have cash reserves, many are heavily in debt. They can do that because if times get rough, the government will bail them out.

The big corporations are going to get richer as a result of coronavirus and the recession because smaller businesses are going to go bankrupt. That means more dollars to the big businesses. For example, if you used to shop in mom-and-pop stores, you may find they don't survive. That will mean you'll have to shop at the big stores owned by big corporations.

I heard an odd thing on the internet a couple of years ago, Giuliano. It's no longer on the internet. They say that Trump is so pure and holy, that he is a man who doesn't need to use toilet paper, and that this was first observed when he was at the university. Given how much Trump is idolized by his adoring base, is there any truth to this? They seem to worship him as a kind of god. Because of this, is he really beyond the rules of morality? I disagree, of course, with his handling of the recent riots.

I'm very skeptical about the man, myself. I think that Christians should walk "in spirit and in truth".

Is that so? Really?

You post seems rather nonsensical.

I admit that it sounds nonsensical, marks. But many folks seem to regard Trump as another Cyrus, another "chosen" or "anointed" one that cannot be disobeyed. That's a form of veneration of a man I cannot enter into, and one has to wonder how far that veneration will go.

I accept Jesus Christ as Lord. I don't accept other "anointed ones" or "christs" that other people come up with.

This idolization has made me skeptical of Trump and led me to disagree how he's handling the recent riots.

I missed all the Trumps. Donald was there was before I was, and the children were later; but I'd think if that was true, it would have been a famous story that got passed around. It sounds like something Ole Bone Spurs might say about himself. But maybe Fawell Jr. could have started that story.

I found an interesting article by a Wharton professor. I agree with almost everything he wrote.

Wharton finance professor says an index of mom-and-pop businesses ‘would show devastation far worse than what we saw in the stock market’

‘If investors tried to come up with an index of mom-and-pop businesses, it would show devastation far worse than what we saw in the stock market, and it would still be down dramatically today,”

That is from Jeremy Siegel, professor of finance at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School of Business, in an interview with MarketWatch on Tuesday, who says the damage to small businesses is not showing up in financial markets.

He says the U.S. stock market’s impressive recovery from the March rout doesn’t reflect the broader pain in the economy, as the S&P 500’s rally has come on the back of a few high-flying technology companies while small businesses and minorities took the brunt of the damage in this recession. Like other analysts, Siegel worried about the wide disconnect between Wall Street and Main Street, amid sky-high unemployment and mass business closures.

“Arguably, the support for small businesses is unprecedented in our history. But some small businesses are going to be closed unless we get much more payroll protection. There needs to be much more help to businesses that don’t have access to public markets,” said the prominent market pundit and a senior adviser to WisdomTree Investments.

So you talk about his toileting? Some kind of nonsense that he doesn't need TP?

This really makes me wonder what's on your mind. You really strike me as someone here with an agenda.

Sure it does. I do know what socialism is. I may not go around like Trump telling people I am a stable genius; but I am quite bright and got into Penn because of my high SAT score. I'd love to know what Trump's SAT score was. I suspect he got into Penn because his father contributed a pile of money. That's how rich people get their kids into good colleges.

. . .

I guess it's hard to say, Giuliano, how that story got started. Truly the Trump's followers worship the POTUS. I wish that people could contradict the man as if he were a normal person. If that were allowed to happen, more constructive governmental policy could be planned and implemented. But human gods have their issues and demand their own worship.

The connection between small business, big business and the unsettled political conditions that the riots came out of are interesting. I will have to give it some thought.

At this point I disagree with how President Trump has dealt with the recent riots.

Thank you for your post, marks. Trump is deeply venerated by many of his followers as another "christ" or "anointed one". I was just wondering again how far that veneration goes. If someone thinks that Trump is a "christ", they may ascribe this thing about toileting and many other miracles to him. I suppose further stories are floating around.

I do have an agenda. I want Christ restored to his rightful place as Savior and Lord of his church among people who call themselves conservatives. I want them to act like Christians again. I want the idols of hatred, selfishness, anarchy, and false "christs" be cast aside.

I thank you, marks, for your wondering. I appreciate thoughtfulness and kindness where-ever I encounter it. Thanks again!
