Inside violent hate groups, their plans

White supremacist want to destroy police, government

Posted

Charles Manson and his followers called it “helter skelter” in the 1960s.

They aimed to foment a racial civil war in America.

Law enforcement sources say the Boogaloo Bois are a far right hate group with similar violent goals.

With white supremacist and neo-Nazis, they plan to bring down the government and police to take control of America.

What they envision may be chillingly similar to Adolf Hitler’s Nazi Germany in which only a white Aryan master race would rule..

They share similar violent motives with the far left Antifa but they consider the leftists their enemy.

According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, the term Boogaloo “began as a shorthand for civil unrest following potential local or federal firearms confiscation and has been embraced by anti-government and white nationalists.”

Boogaloo Bois have been charged with domestic terrorism, other crimes.

3 men who identify as Boogaloo Bois and who are all former members of the military, according to Business Insider, were charged with domestic terrorism, conspiracy to damage and destroy by using fire and explosives, and possession of an unregistered firearm, Las Vegas police reported.

Andrew Lynam Jr. 23, Stephen Parshall, 35, and William Loomis, 40, are each being held on a $1 million bond.

J.J. MacNab of George Washington University’s Program on Extremism, told The Associated Press that she has seen Boogaloo Bois in crowds of George Floyd protestors wearing tactical gear and carrying high-powered rifles.

“They want to co-opt them to start their war.”

Accelerationists are white supremacists who want to see Americans at war against each other.

According to the The Brookings Institution, a research and public policy group in Washington:

Accelerationism is the idea that white supremacists should try to increase civil disorder ... to foster polarization that will tear apart the current political order… Accelerationists hope to set off a series of chain reactions, with violence fomenting violence, and in the ensuing cycle more and more people join the fray. When confronted with extremes, so the theory goes, those in the middle will be forced off the fence and go to the side of the white supremacists.”

All the groups that want a civil war do not have the same ideologies.

Boogaloo is not exclusive to white supremacists. It is used by others who think the government and police should be overthrown.

Experts say groups will join causes not their own to try to create disorder and to provoke police or other law enforcement to respond with violence.
