Boogaloo Boys memes populated their pages and feeds
Their plan was foiled by undercover agents and an FBI informant

Yep. Absolutely reeks.

Especially since just last week, Michigan courts stripped the governor of her emergency powers that allowed her to keep the state locked down. Now she's suddenly splashed all over the news as the victim of violent Trump supporters.

Wanna bet the entire group was just FBI plants egging each other on.

The Man Who Was Thursday is a good book about this from 1908.

Here are some videos from one of the guys: https://mobile.twitter.com/robbystarbuck/status/1314307535348928513

Giant ear plugs, anarchist flag, anti police, anti Trump, flag from a Satanist band ... yea totally your average Trump supporter.

I would focus less on Trump and more on what went down with the big FBI bust. It's suspiciously familiar. We've heard this story before about informants, and coercions. then finally a Big Fish is Caught in the Act.

Sounding familiar yet?

(the airplane underwear bomber in Detroit may be the most egregiously hilarious example)

I recommend reading Congressman Louie Gohmert's report on Robert Mueller.

The tactics used are very tired and very familiar.

The Boogaloo Boys were never anything other than an obvious fed LARP.

Yeah. The first time I heard about them was during the riots. It was being framed as if they were some established right wing group, yet I'd never once heard of them previous to these events.

If you've heard of them and they aren't from your hometown, its always obvious they are glowies. Proper militias don't advertise themselves, they don't make their supposed political leanings obvious, and they sure as fuck don't make youtube videos detailing their plans/philosophy.

He was anti-Trump. They're pushing the "Boogaloo Boys" because too many people are realizing the astroturfing. All these riots in the name of BLM and being anti-Trump and anti-American but they need a boogieman to cover and force normies to make an association.

The moment they mention 'Boogaloo Boys' it's obvioulsy set up. No one other than feds or media uses that term.

Yeah, the FBI trained these guys to look like fools and get in trouble. They did exactly what someone spent a few hundred thousands dollars handling them to do.

It doesn't smell like a FBI setup. Because it IS a FBI setup.

So are you autistic or just a retarded glowie? You should know that if you want to get your message across you can't just leave a wall of text with links.

What you need to do is make a smaller post, ideally vague enough for someone to ask you to clarify, then you slowly walk your retardation out into the open. If you do it right, it's like boiling a frog. If you do it wrong, you still look like a spazz off of his medications, but at least someone would have actually read the shit you posted
