West Point’s CTC has released an article on the evolution of the Boogaloo movement and how it represents a terror and security threat to the US.
An extract from the first paragraph:
The movement has gained national notoriety in that time, due as much to its eclectic aesthetic of colorful Hawaiian-themed apparel as its connection to disrupted violent plots—namely, the attempted kidnapping of a sitting U.S. governor. In 2020, members of the movement were accused of plotting to use Molotov cocktails during a Black Lives Matter protest, conspiring to materially support Hamas, and murdering law enforcement personnel.
The report is here: h..ps://ctc.usma.edu/the-evolution-of-the-boogaloo-movement/
Footnote [W] to the report states that two Boogaloo members “… expressed a desire to employ themselves as ‘mercenaries’ for Hamas as a means to generate cash” for their movement, and stated that they would be particularly valuable to Hamas as homegrown extremists as “two American-born white boys.” This quote needs context so it is best to read the whole of the footnote, and the one that preceeds it.
The Washington Post has a perspective on the FBI’s role in the “Hamas” situation here h..ps://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2020/09/09/fbi-boogaloo-hamas-terrorism/
