The Factional State of America

hello again everyone and welcome back to the underground uh so today we're going to take a look at a sort of uh yet another uh controversial topic of ours uh but it's a topic that we feel needs to be talked about now um so today we're going to be taking a look at the different sort of factions or social groups or perhaps faction is too strong of a word in some cases or some of these groups but basically we're going to be laying out a lot of the key players and and power groups within the united states right now now we're not going to cover all of the uh groups that we have found and all of the groups that we're monitoring and and interacting with and tracking and things like that but we are going to talk about some of the major players this is one of those uh videos and for our podcast listeners this is one of our episodes that um is more about speed rather than quality so we're not going to be able to talk about all the groups just the major players and sort of what we think about them now obviously that being said our usual disclaimer is that this is going to um be kind of an inflammatory topic all right so a lot of people are probably going to be either offended or um disagree w er is that this is going to um be kind of an inflammatory topic all right so a lot of people are probably going to be either offended or um disagree with this in some way and that's perfectly fine you know we're not in the business of keeping you know feelings uh un unaltered because you know honestly yeah a lot of this stuff is is not pleasant to talk about uh and when it comes to disagreeing with us that's perfectly fine too we we actively encourage that um it's just that we're trying to give a good broad overview for the people who have uh for lack of a better term have sort of had their heads in the sand over the past year and haven't seen these groups come to power and so suddenly when they read an article of you know with these you know people in it or or these groups that are that are mentioned and they're like oh well what is this group or you know what are they that's what we're hoping to tackle today so we're going to be talking about uh groups that are powerful in the united states and we're going to do it as objectively as we can so moving on to our first one it's probably the most controversial one so the first group we're going to talk about is antifa or the anti-fasc we can so moving on to our first one it's probably the most controversial one so the first group we're going to talk about is antifa or the anti-fascist coalition or anti-fascist action group or their their name changes based on you know who's uh who's talking about them but their main goal that they claim is anti-fascism however we and most other people that have seen antifa at work have seen that they are very pro-fascist in their actions they are also very very prone to using violence as we all know you know antifa this is one kind of a a radical group to be sure but their views are very um violence oriented even if they don't have a specific goal a lot of times especially in portland in the pacific northwest where they sort of got their start they'll just resort to violence or violence at sake you know they claim that their goal is anarchy and you know as a side note we know that what antifa is doing you know burning things down destroying a city your sort of mad max anarchy definition is not the true definition of anarchy we know this but for all intents and purposes when normal people hear the word anarchy they think of mad max so that's sort of what we're going to define it w this but for all intents and purposes when normal people hear the word anarchy they think of mad max so that's sort of what we're going to define it as for the duration of this video and how we kind of how we kind of treat that um but yeah antifa is definitely pro anarchy for for a lot of their actions they're also there a lot of um uh actors within their organization are uh very pro-genocide when it comes to statements they make so we'll see a lot of times on twitter when we're following these these riots going on i will see you know them pro genocide of a certain group like you know kill all capitalists or kill all you know uh people that are anti-us essentially right so they're very much a pro genocide agency even though they don't they haven't really had the resources capabilities or tactical skills to make this happen so the movements that they're affiliated with are you know of course the blm the black lives matter movement along with socialism and communism those two latter political ideologies and economic ideologies they are heavily rooted in antifa they are very much a communist agency if you're looking at them on the political compass which by the way we don't really t e heavily rooted in antifa they are very much a communist agency if you're looking at them on the political compass which by the way we don't really think is accurate anymore uh for describing the events of 2020 but antifa definitely falls into the political left um the the militant left so that's sort of where they're aligned and the groups that they're the camp that they're in you know um and just sort of reading off the slide here for our for our podcast listeners you know antifa is definitely a long-standing agency but they're also loosely organized they're a collective of individuals that you know allegedly you know like i said try to combat fascism but they try to do it violently um you know most antifa members align with some sort of extreme liberalism on you know the political compass like we just said but a lot of times we'll see more casual followers be more center left leaning and those people are like professors college professors politicians you know will will be sympathetic towards antifa means but only because they're in this their their similar ideology not because of their actions right um so most of antifa's actions now have tended to target conservative political n this their their similar ideology not because of their actions right um so most of antifa's actions now have tended to target conservative political enemies or most importantly capitalist political enemies however as recent as 2018 some antifa elements have begun deeming political moderates as enemies and therefore prone to violent attack so yeah that's something we've seen recently antifa has has declared basically if you're not with us you're against us and but some of their ideology is very confusing such as you know antifa has been known to spray paint the words liberals get the bullet too during violent riots and violent actions which sort of shows how unique of an agency they are sort of an entity they're they're extreme extremely liberal comprised of members that are extremely liberal but they also say that liberals get the bullet too perhaps implying that liberals traditional liberals are not liberal enough right and you know so antifa is kind of a definitely a very uh very unique organization so moving on to the physical description uh this is just for people to help people kind of identify you know what these groups look like and fortunately for the most part most of th scription uh this is just for people to help people kind of identify you know what these groups look like and fortunately for the most part most of these groups do have some sort of rudimentary uniform such as antifa here antifa members can readily be identified by black block clothing they usually wear all black you'll see a lot of times red bandanas covering their faces you know antifa signature signals and insignia flags the anarchy symbol you know guy fox masks as well as really numerous like counter culture symbols such as you know tight fitting you know skinny jeans are definitely a huge thing with antifa and it's not to to insult them it's just that they you'll see in the image here in a second it's definitely a factor when it comes to to a lot of um antifa things as well as non-traditional sort of body piercings and sort of alterations like you know ear gauges you know different kinds of piercings in different locations uh facial tattoos things like that as well as unique you know hairstyles like your your very vibrant uh colored uh hair for your females and and things like that um yeah so let's look at an image here of what what normal like antifa stuff looks like and as y red uh hair for your females and and things like that um yeah so let's look at an image here of what what normal like antifa stuff looks like and as you can see it's you know very much black block clothing uh not a whole lot of tactical gear um usually it's all just all black clothing um but you can definitely tell that this is there's a theme here with it with the dress and then the attire that they use and um uh yeah definitely you can like for instance if you google like antifa mug shots you'll pull up and you'll look and you'll be able to instantly tell even though you have no context as to what a person was arrested for you can definitely you can look at an image and tell you that person's antifa which is weird because it would be a mug shot which doesn't have these uh you know facial coverings or things like that you can definitely tell a lineup of mugshots that's all antifa members as opposed to some other political group and so some of the more notable actions there there have been known to do mostly just riots you know the berkeley university riots they were also present in charlottesville during that uh that whole scandal of charlottesville riots in 2017. they were also r rkeley university riots they were also present in charlottesville during that uh that whole scandal of charlottesville riots in 2017. they were also responsible for doxxing efforts against ice agents in 2018. they also were responsible for attacks against jewish population in the jewish population in new york city as part of some of the riots there which was kind of weird it was kind of a unique thing they're not really an anti-semitic group however some elements of them are they also attacked people at the dallas children's hospital in 2020 this is some more you know recent stuff this year they've gotten more definitely more violent the washington dc riots as well as the chas or chop occupation of seattle which is earlier this year in 2020 and so basically our analysis is you know despite the fact that antifa claims to be anti-fascist they are in fact very very supportive of fascism communism socialism all of which are technically on on paper very different ideologies but they definitely support them they are even though these things are attributed to totalitarianism antifa is all for totalitarianism as long as the antifa ideology is the totalitarian entity right they are also kno are attributed to totalitarianism antifa is all for totalitarianism as long as the antifa ideology is the totalitarian entity right they are also known to organize information operations so information operations is our but we in the intel community it's sort of a soft a soft code word for psyops right we don't do psyops anymore we conduct information operations right and antifa does these as well they're usually quite effective because they'll put together posters of videos they'll doctor uh documents and scan them um basically all in an effort to organize them against a political enemy um yeah so you know despite what antifa leadership may say about their own entity their true end goals right are purely destructive right there's there's no cohesive pattern to the attacks with the exception of targeting anyone or group who doesn't support them but you know antifa's violence is not a means to an end antifa for antifa violence is the end right that is the end goal right so as a result of all of this you know we highly highly recommend that um uh for people to avoid antifa actions right we assess with high confidence that antifa or anyone who identifies with antifa ideology is a ver that um uh for people to avoid antifa actions right we assess with high confidence that antifa or anyone who identifies with antifa ideology is a very high threat to individual safety right so anytime you see antifa head the other way there is no winning for them violence is their goal violence is their tool so just keep that in mind and sort of trying to keep this quick we'll move on to the next group which is black lives matter blm and this is one where we will get a lot of flack i'm sure and probably get a lot of attacks and and things like that um but their state of objectives vary widely right the blm movement is a very extremely it's an extremely varied organization right their stated objectives depending on which cell and group it is um they they broadly started with a group with a message of equality right equality for all right but lately we've seen a lot of black nationalism black supremacy and and um things like that come out of of their official rhetoric right not just some somebody on twitter trying to troll um it's been their official doctrine right so lately in 2020 they're also a heavy heavy supporter of the reparations movement right so you know continuing on thei their official doctrine right so lately in 2020 they're also a heavy heavy supporter of the reparations movement right so you know continuing on their observed objectives they also align with a sort of anarchy ideology much like antifa but not quite so much it seems like uh from where we're sitting you know broadly speaking blm will use anarchy to get their end goal of black supremacy some groups of course but other groups will not so it's it's extremely varied you know some groups just like i have here on the slide some parts of blm are 100 proponents of genocide against you know whites and you know other uh non-uh african-american or non-african descendants so but other groups aren't so it's a huge huge varied uh thing um so some of the affiliated movements with blm are the nfac the not effing around coalition um despite the fact that the blm and nfac say that they're not they are staunch enemies that's what they say that's not true they are definitely affiliated with each other however the nfac is far more radical we'll talk about them in a second some of the more older members of the group will remember the black panthers and the blm is is definitely bringing back some of the them in a second some of the more older members of the group will remember the black panthers and the blm is is definitely bringing back some of the black panther's uh tactics and ideology even though the black panthers technically weren't quite what people remember them to be and also blm is very very heavily intertwined with antifa mostly because they both you know blm and antifa use violence in their riots right riots are their thing right um so the characterization of the blm movement is extremely extremely varied right you know originally blm was a large uh largely decentralized civil rights you know oriented agency but you know other you know but recently you know other peaceful protests have been organized with the purpose of rioting and destroying public infrastructure so you know originally back you know a few years ago when uh really back in 2014 when the blm movement started getting notoriety most almost all other protests were peaceful they were legitimately peaceful protests however the the blm infrastructure and entity and sort of organization has changed right now they are organizing peaceful protests that they're calling peaceful but they're telling people to bring and sort of organization has changed right now they are organizing peaceful protests that they're calling peaceful but they're telling people to bring things like bats bring eye protection bring helmets br you know bring things that will help us destroy things but they're not outright saying it a lot of places and a lot of places they are outright saying it you know some of the more radical elements of blm are huge proponents of a sort of anti-white genocide and have frequently called for whites to be murdered in the street and we're seeing that actually happen uh portland washington dc you know you know kenosha we're seeing uh the the the flavor of sort of killing people based on their race uh to be a definitely a a part of blm protests and riots right uh most of the official blm senior leadership are supporters of reparations for slavery you know monetary payments right which they believe should take the form of you know uh money but not not only money but also a land right sort of like how native americans were granted you know reservations however if you go to even just the blm website which is the the you know run by their senior leadership they continue to make statements tha ervations however if you go to even just the blm website which is the the you know run by their senior leadership they continue to make statements that say that they will not stop the violence until their demands are met that's something they put they plainly and clearly say they're going to do so the blm movement is 100 a non-peaceful organization anymore and you can even make the argument an analytical argument that they weren't peaceful in the beginning so the physical description it once again extremely varied it's you know obviously by the name of it it's going to largely be african-american however um yet previously and even currently a large amount of of whites are also part of blm so you can't really say that the blm movement is purely about race even though it technically is on paper if that sort of makes sense um you know some of the most notable actions are you know going back in time the summer of violence which is what we're kind of calling the the the rash the the um spreading of rioting around the united states following minneapolis in 2020 they're also known for destruction of minneapolis kenosha they're also known for the assault siege on the white house the siege g minneapolis in 2020 they're also known for destruction of minneapolis kenosha they're also known for the assault siege on the white house the siege of white house is pending that's not that's going down in about seven days we'll see if that happens for those of you listening to this episode in the future we'll we'll see if the siege actually goes down but they they've been known for the assault in the white house following the destruction of minneapolis and the riots that kind of picked up after that previously to that they had a few years where they didn't really do much and were just mostly a community-based you know civil rights entity but they were also heavily involved in the ferguson riots following the shooting of michael brown in 2014 and also the new york city riots following the shooting or the death of eric gardner in 2014 he wasn't he wasn't shot but i don't i don't think um but yeah so let's let's take a look at the physical description and you know we tried to pick the most non-biased images to display uh talking about a a blm protest but even if you google even if you google which we know google is controlled by the these entities or at least caters to them a lot e a a blm protest but even if you google even if you google which we know google is controlled by the these entities or at least caters to them a lot even if you google blm protest and then clicking images it's hard to find a blm image of a peaceful protest the only one that we could find was one in the top right but even then we found four or five other images that showed that these exact people in this image were breaking things at their own molotovs and stuff like that so this is what your typical blm protest looks like i'm sure everybody's seen it in the highly inflammatory and dramatic movie action style uh news footage that has been around and been assaulting our news feeds over the past few months but yeah for those of you who don't know this is what a blm riot or protest looks like and then so for our analysis and yeah i know this one is once again very inflammatory but you know we have to call it like we see it and blm is not a peaceful organization you know despite an initial you know message of peacefully protesting and civil disobedience which is fine you know that that you know echoes the original civil rights movement in the 60s and 70s right but despite this the blm m l disobedience which is fine you know that that you know echoes the original civil rights movement in the 60s and 70s right but despite this the blm movement has become increasingly more radical over the years blm's common they have a common tactic right they like to use um force random citizens to be uncomfortable right in order to make them see their message so for instance screaming at restaurant patrons you know stomping traffic assaulting cars you know this has become exponentially more aggressive in 2020 and people are just being instead of being screamed at while trying to eat their dinner at a restaurant people are being swarmed in their vehicles right [Music] so you know in 2020 you'd be very hard-pressed to find a blm protest that did not dissolve into a riot at some point you know in early 2020 an observed tactic that we did see was for a genuine blm protest to break out for instance in minneapolis before it got bad on that first day this was a good case study there was a genuine peaceful blm protest in minneapolis in a sort of little march through the community as well they had speakers from churches they had speakers from politicians they had high level leadership from t of little march through the community as well they had speakers from churches they had speakers from politicians they had high level leadership from blm very prominent uh celebrities come in and speak and then you know after that sort of main rally or protest was kind of winding down and all the senior leadership was gone then the writing broke out so at that point things switched almost instantly and then um the rioting started right so we're seeing that be a tactic with blm protest that's why we say for no that's why we recommend for people to not go to any blm activities because you know now that at some point that's going to turn into a riot at some point that's going to turn into something bad that's just a fact of life now in 2020 you know and i know that people are going to probably get upset with us but about you know us calling it like we see it but hey we we have to uh we have to call it like we see it for you know safety's sake you know um also it's kind of a side note going back to the whole genocide thing you know many of the speakers at recent blm protests and riots have publicly and openly called for a genocide against whites you know and actively encourage the tar of the speakers at recent blm protests and riots have publicly and openly called for a genocide against whites you know and actively encourage the targeting and and killing of whites blm senior leadership historically has distanced themselves from this but they're not doing that anymore they have not downplayed or distanced themselves from these sentiments they've just kind of let it happen which to us signals a de facto approval of this behavior even if they don't believe that that's a rightful thing to do they're letting it happen anyway you know so consequently you know in conclusion we assess with high confidence that the blm movement has become a radical sort of fringe movement despite the previously wide-ranging spectrum of opinions and viewpoints and ideologies you know as such we recommend avoiding all blm activity and demonstrations as there is a high chance that a seemingly peaceful protest will instantly become a violent riot so hopefully that sort of is is helpful on on this slide and um yeah so we'll move on to the next one which is the nfac the uh not effing around coalition now these guys are far more radical than blm they actively say that they are not blm but their ne which is the nfac the uh not effing around coalition now these guys are far more radical than blm they actively say that they are not blm but their stated objectives this is what they claim to support um they claim to support black supremacy the mass murder of whites uh reparations and and black separatism they're different in the terms of black separatism is different from black nationalism but they are supporters of both mostly black separatism and of course their observed actions are quite the same they're what what they say and what they do is very very similar so some of the more affiliated some of the movements they're affiliated with are of course blm like we just mentioned they're also loosely take some of their membership from the black panthers but also the nation of islam but mostly they're aligned with nation of islam because of the older members of the group who are around to remember the nation of islam as well as the fact the nfac is very anti-semitic and their their leader grand master jay was heavily involved in the nation of islam movement growing up so for those that have not heard of the nfac which would be surprising but in any case the nfac is a militant bl e nation of islam movement growing up so for those that have not heard of the nfac which would be surprising but in any case the nfac is a militant black separatist group which is comprised of roughly three to 500 members whose stated goals have changed considerably over the years but they're still they've still always been a radical group it's not like they've become uh radicalized every time they've always started as being radical and they're sort of their leader there has a has an air or flavor of of occultism um he's he calls himself the real grandmaster jay and uh he's made increasingly just plain weird and uh also radical statements over the years um regarding his you know role within the organization uh so recently the nfac they've included uh amongst their goals uh the goal of giving the entire state of texas uh to black americans as reparations for save of slavery um they've also which is going back to the weird comments they've also made extremely anti-semitic stigmas over the years you know with senior leadership including grand master jay often praising adolf hitler and other nazi leadership which is just plain weird which kind of shows the the fringe movement that thes grand master jay often praising adolf hitler and other nazi leadership which is just plain weird which kind of shows the the fringe movement that these guys really are um you know they also claim to be highly trained uh ex-military members they only they claim to only let veterans in who are you know seen multiple combat tours however this is extremely false all of their demonstrations and actions have indicated that their tactical and technical proficiencies with weapons and combat is extremely lacking and basically non-existent nfac riots or gatherings have had multiple negligent discharges and a lot of the when they did their march on stone mountain the nfac a lot of the guys have obvious weapons malfunctions like stove pipes and their weapons and you know magazines being inserted backwards uh weapon sights being installed backwards foregrips being installed in the wrong position or weapons without sights altogether so that's kind of a sort of characteristic of their organization so physically we'll bring up some images here in a second but the nfac standard uniform they actually do have a standard uniform which is basically just a loose collection of black block clothing once a econd but the nfac standard uniform they actually do have a standard uniform which is basically just a loose collection of black block clothing once again same as antifa but they also wear the black berets of the black panthers if anybody remembers them and also you know in a departure from antifa these guys also wear they basically dress like your cheesy video game character from the 80s of any sort of first person shooter with as many chest rigs rifles drop leg rigs you know all kinds of tactical gear as well as a random assortment of ammunition like bandoliers you know for shotguns you'll see a guy carrying a shotgun with five or six bandoliers on you know all of which is randomly slung in a very poor military fashion they also like to attempt to march in a loose formation up and down roads and things like that so let's take a look at some of these guys from the nfac so in the upper right hand corner with the uh the ar-15 there is uh grand master j and uh as you can see they're using um bowel fangs for their comms so they're probably you know running uh unencrypted comps that you could easily easily intercept and and overpower if you needed to but you can see the weird collectio ly you know running uh unencrypted comps that you could easily easily intercept and and overpower if you needed to but you can see the weird collection of of um of things you see people with you know some people have custom ars and other weapons other people don't so um yeah that's just sort of their their uh organizations what they look like when they riot or march or whatever um and the nfac is a relatively new organization they have not been around for very long despite the fact that they're you know the real grand master jay likes to claim they've been around for a long time really they're they only gained notoriety from their march on stone mountain earlier this year in 2020 however they also made the trip to louisville kentucky and uh commenced to destroy a lot of stuff there so um you know moving on to our analysis you know many people have sort of lampooned their their actions many people made fun of them because of their obvious obvious uh downfall of not being tactically or technically proficient despite this they still remain a current threat you know you know they don't really meet the label uh they don't really meet the criteria of being a a traditional insurgent threa in a current threat you know you know they don't really meet the label uh they don't really meet the criteria of being a a traditional insurgent threat but their ideology and previous actions indicate they still fit the quote-unquote terrorist label which we of course don't like to to throw out but they're definitely that's their goal they're they say it so that's what they claim to be you know their statements have called for the genocide of whites you know that that sort of that's made their message extremely clear you know and despite the fact that they this has all been talk for the nfac a lot of people trying to say the nfac is nothing but just they're all talk they're just they're not really a threat you know it's only a matter of time before they you know they continue people uh and law enforcement agencies continue to allow this type of behavior and it's only a matter of time before they take their ideology in earnest you know and start acting on uh some of those sentiments that they've been uh portraying so consequently despite the fact that these guys don't seem to be the you know the sharpest tools in the in the drawer we assess with high confidence that the nfa presents te the fact that these guys don't seem to be the you know the sharpest tools in the in the drawer we assess with high confidence that the nfa presents a genuine threat uh to individual safety and we recommend avoiding all nfac functions and demonstrations you know just be aware of what's going on be aware of where they're at and take take steps to avoid uh them at all costs if nothing more than the the the the accidental negligent discharges that they have at their their famous fourth or rallies all right so switching gears for a second uh but still talking about an equally inflammatory uh group up next is the boogaloo boys so uh the these guys this uh movement is also known as the big igloo large ice house whatever we all know everybody knows what you're talking about when you talk about the boogaloo nowadays so this group is once again not really a solidified group they're not really a a succinct set of ideology however they do have a few different state of objectives so for one this group is largely anti-government they see larger government as a problem a lot of the people within the group would would support no government at all some of the members of most of the members are a government as a problem a lot of the people within the group would would support no government at all some of the members of most of the members are actually pro second amendment very very heavily invested in the second amendment and the protections it provides and also uh there's a large sort of flavor of anarcho-capitalism from the early onset in when this group was sort of came to fruition in 2019 lately a lot of the sort of boogaloo enthusiasts i guess we could call them are mostly you know largely anti-law enforcement and once again you know a lot of their state of stated objectives are pretty much the same as the objectives that we observe from them however with the flavor of so the boogaloo members or the sort of people that portray that ideology tend to be more far right than far left so however however far right that is is it depends as we can sort of see by the affiliated movement so the bugaloo movement is very heavily steeped in libertarianism however over time they have been sort of linked and associated with movements such as the proud boys and various other militia conservative groups so characterizing the boogaloo movement is is kind of a difficult task um so the th ch as the proud boys and various other militia conservative groups so characterizing the boogaloo movement is is kind of a difficult task um so the the term originates from the depths of you know 4chan internet memes really just you know instagram memes uh in 2019 um but the boogaloo movement is very is a it's a movement that's representative of a very wide ranging set of ideals the term itself is a reference to the coming of a second american civil war or another war for independence is sort of a tongue-in-cheek reference to that however while some boogaloo enthusiasts are quite serious about preparing for a civil war and you know and actively trying to encourage that um other sort of boog boys you know don't view the movement as a true sort of insurgent group and identify with the boogaloo movement out of solidarity for liberty you know and not to engage in a true civil war they don't really you know there there are definitely moderates within this group you know and once again while it's not exactly a solidified group you know participants and you know ideology um it is largely shared by a certain uh set of society right you know anti-government sentiments run deep within this y icipants and you know ideology um it is largely shared by a certain uh set of society right you know anti-government sentiments run deep within this you know within this movement you know as well as anti-law enforcement uh sentiments you know some of the more radical members of this movement are you know aligned with more traditional militia type movements you know even with white supremacy groups which is interesting considering that the the boogaloo movement and prominent names within the boogaloo you know movement have gone to great lengths to distance themselves from white supremacy but despite that there are there is a flavor of white supremacy to some of the boogaloo movements along with some of the more you know anti-semitism you know racism things like that are definitely prevalent within the boogaloo movement now uh in some very limited aspects how wide ranging that is who knows you know uh also you know many boogaloo boys have been observed to be protesting alongside antifa and blm who technically are ideologically opposed to them it doesn't really make any sense you know blm and antifa are very heavily socialist and communist and the boogaloo boys are very libertarian ve o them it doesn't really make any sense you know blm and antifa are very heavily socialist and communist and the boogaloo boys are very libertarian very very conservative and things like that to you know broad speaking broadly however the you know hatred that the boogaloo boys have for government you know it's sort of in uh helps helps them be sort of affiliated with antifa in some some aspects you know if antifa and blm are going out there to protest the government yeah sure the big boys will show up and support them but the big boys don't quite realize that antifa blm are their enemies they're they're they're sworn mortal enemies essentially right so it's kind of a very complex and and hard organization to define because it's not as solidified as blm or nfac or anti for any of those other ones but physically the physical description is um hawaiian shirts and luau patterns are a common indicator the boogaloo movement you know nowadays you know same thing with more traditional 2a symbol symbol symbols such as you know don't tread on me flag you know if the you know boogaloo enthusiasts sort of show up at a rally or protest you're going to almost always see them wearing plate carrie e flag you know if the you know boogaloo enthusiasts sort of show up at a rally or protest you're going to almost always see them wearing plate carriers helmets carrying rifles and wearing hawaiian shirts that's just they're just their mo that's what they're going to be wearing it's going to be pretty obvious what they're supporting you know some of the more notable actions that they have been engaged in um really most late uh you know uh the latest one they've got notoriety for was the the defense of salon a la mode that uh salon hair salon in texas that was being forced to be shut down and uh yeah they sort of laid a protective siege of that to prevent law enforcement from arresting the salon owner same thing with a lot of different bars in texas when texas political leadership decided to shut down the bars the boogaloo boys were there to try to prevent that they're also sort of linked to the sort of whiskey warrior 556 incident which if you haven't uh if you haven't heard of what that was that was an incident back in 2019 where a uh a guy was claiming that live streaming on i think i think it was i think it was facebook if i remember correctly he was live streaming that uh a red h a guy was claiming that live streaming on i think i think it was i think it was facebook if i remember correctly he was live streaming that uh a red flag raid was being conducted on his house to come take his guns right and it went instantly viral because he had he was a very prominent 2a person and that turned out to not be the case but it did sort of uh result in the arrests of a lot of these boogaloo members because they came to his aid the sort of sentiment of a red flag raid going down to go confiscate someone's guns is there was a limited attempt for the boogaloo effort and boogaloo boys to set up a um a sort of uh notification network right so if somebody was in trouble they could send a qrf a quick reaction force out this was completely ineffective it did not work at all it's still people still try to do it but since the boogaloo boys have been labeled as essentially terrorists by the large um by the federal government it's uh that's sort of died down a lot they've been arrested and targeted even more so than blm which is interesting um but let's take a look at some of the pictures of these guys so these guys yeah were this is um pretty typical pretty typical for um the b teresting um but let's take a look at some of the pictures of these guys so these guys yeah were this is um pretty typical pretty typical for um the boogaloo boys to show up at a sort of rally or protest or something like that so if you see this this you can almost be certain that these guys are boogaloo boys just based on hawaiian print alone that's a very good reiki feature and you know sort of our thoughts on it we have you know we've had a whole um longer than an hour long podcast episode talking about this particular movement and our frustrations with it because you know obviously we um a lot of our members are have the very unique political ideals that are sort of um sort of aligned with a lot of the stuff that we talk about for instance you know the s2 underground project is very very liberty minded you know the boogly boy is also very liberty minded you know we're very you know 2a and and um constitutional rights oriented and so is so are the boogaloo boys so we have a lot of people in common and that's why a lot of people are probably going to be listening to this section a lot more than normal because you know we've we've talked about it in at length but you know just to probably going to be listening to this section a lot more than normal because you know we've we've talked about it in at length but you know just to get through our sort of analyst comments here you know while not as violent as their counter movements like blm and nfac and not quite fitting the description of a quote-unquote extremist group you know the boogaloo room is still a comparatively radical organization despite being a very loose ideology right you know while their message is positive you know we must recognize that other far far more militant and hostile groups are definitely using the boogaloo movement as a way to rebrand themselves and make their ideology more palatable such as for instance the the proud boys you know starting to to get involved with the boogaloo protests you know those two groups don't have anything in common but the proud boys are you know say you don't like the government right we don't like the government either so we're friends you know and that's not how it works right um you know we cannot ignore the fact that a significant portion of you know boogaloo enthusiasts have originated from white supremacists terrorists guerrilla or other insurgent gr he fact that a significant portion of you know boogaloo enthusiasts have originated from white supremacists terrorists guerrilla or other insurgent groups within the u.s that's just a fact that has happened or it may not have started that way but it definitely is the case now as such you know we recommend avoiding all demonstrations and activities that are solely aligned with the bugaloo movement you know so if there's a sort of boogaloo rally or something like that which is going to be hard to see nowadays or if there's a boogaloo counter protest to a blm avoid that like the plague that's what we recommend now if you show up to something like you know a 2a rally or something like that you know we wouldn't even recommend doing that nowadays but if you wanted to that's that's fine that's not a a huge risk right to go to a a liberty rally or some kind of even like a trump rally or something that's not as it's not really a security risk i don't think but you know those guys these guys will show up to those conservative type political events and rallies as we get closer to election time and you know that's going to be a lower risk you know i would it's not like where if i show up to a nts and rallies as we get closer to election time and you know that's going to be a lower risk you know i would it's not like where if i show up to a political rally and i see the nfac there i'm going to leave immediately or you know but if i show up to a political rally and i see the boo some boogaloo guys there or guys that hawaiian shirts i'm not going to i'm really not going to leave immediately because they really haven't been they haven't been violent at all but you know events that are intended to solely promote the boogaloo are an extreme high risk for things like violent counter protests you know as well as threats from law enforcement and federal authorities you know let's not get to get misconstrued here the boogaloo boys are definitely targeted by law enforcement and federal authorities they are not friends at all and the feeling is mutual i think based on what we've been able to tell so these guys anybody who talks about this sort of thing i'm sure that just by talking about the the boogaloo we're on a watch list now or or some analyst in a government position is probably listening to this podcast and watching this youtube video because we're talking about it so we you r some analyst in a government position is probably listening to this podcast and watching this youtube video because we're talking about it so we you know we might even get censored from youtube because we're talking about it so it's that inflammatory but if you want to learn more about this go go listen to our our uh our episode on that so we have we talk about that a little bit more in depth but moving on to what we've kind of mentioned already which is sort of we're going to lump these three agencies and entities together because they're kind of the same thing and kind of have sort of the same leadership and um numbers so the three percenters the proud boys and the oath keepers so for those of you that have been around for a while you may have heard these terms very loosely and you kind of know that they're sort of a militia movements and that's pretty much what they are their their goals are all pretty much the same you know freedom oriented anti-government but a lot of times they're pro-law enforcement which is odd um for some of these views that's what they say they are you know what we've observed them to be is very different right there a lot of these groups like the proud f these views that's what they say they are you know what we've observed them to be is very different right there a lot of these groups like the proud boys are very white supremacists um you know they're also very gov anti-government which they claim to be but they're you know also anti-lgbt they're they're basically far right extremist groups for the most part you know it did not used to be this way but they have over time become that way and some more than others for instance the three percenters are far less radical than the proud boys in some areas and in some areas they're not same thing with the oath keepers so the oath keepers are far more radical in some areas than the three percenters and then in other areas they're not um but affiliated movements you know obviously they're affiliated with each other but also loosely affiliated with the boogaloo movement which you mentioned before um but you know moving on to the characterization these groups and others like them that there's dozens of others that sort of have the same ideology um these have been some of the longest standing armed militia movements in the united states the three percenters the proud boys and the oath keepe gy um these have been some of the longest standing armed militia movements in the united states the three percenters the proud boys and the oath keepers you know over the years these organizations have had a very prominent uh very prominent members with varied ideology for instance you've had congressmen and and very high ranking politicians align and say they're members of or support the three percenters the proud boys and the oath keepers over the years however they have kind of distanced themselves from more radical elements like the proud boys you know over the years you know these um the the override the overarching ideology has loosely been based in defending the riots laid out in the constitution the bill of rights so they're very much a constitutional right-wing agencies you know some of these some of the more radical elements of these sort of align with the bugaloo movement in that they are enthusiastic regarding the potential for civil war so like for instance the proud boys a lot of times you'll see events where they're actively trying to goad or you know stoke that you know fan the flames of of civil unrest in the united states because they want to race war um so that's ively trying to goad or you know stoke that you know fan the flames of of civil unrest in the united states because they want to race war um so that's sort of what a lot of these agencies are you know many of these organizations are pro-military with several incidents being recorded of oath keepers and guarding soldiers from being attacked at recruitment centers so that was a big thing a while back there was a shooting at a a recruiter office a recruiting station and i think tennessee a few years back and uh in response to that because the military for those of you who don't know military members including recruiters cannot carry weapons uh personal weapons for defense uh on base or even in their offices if their recruiting station is off base they can't they can't do that that's a regulation and so these groups oath keepers of course saying that's a huge infringement on the second amendment we're not going to stand by we're going to go guard the recruitment centers well it turns out that that you know that would stand outside recruitment center is heavily armed um but uh yeah the the recruiters were issued statement you know issued guidance of hey don't interact with these guys be ment center is heavily armed um but uh yeah the the recruiters were issued statement you know issued guidance of hey don't interact with these guys because it's just kind of a complex situation right so a lot of times the recruiters didn't want them there but you know they're it's a free country allegedly so that was kind of the mentality back then you know you know that being said other members and other fringe movements within these movements have definitely engaged in guerrilla warfare and insurgency and terrorism within the united states carrying out attacks on governmental complexes and and things like your more traditional al-qaeda tactics of attacking government facilities right so there are definitely there's definitely a huge threat there and moving on to sort of their physical description um you can kind of see what their uh what they all look at you know the three percenter tabs and morale patches are extremely common basically if you if you see somebody at a rally with a plate carrier on with like 50 morale patches velcro to it that's pretty much going to be somebody like a three percent or proud boy or other keeper that's usually what their their mo is um uh they they to it that's pretty much going to be somebody like a three percent or proud boy or other keeper that's usually what their their mo is um uh they they also stick by traditional pro 2a stuff you know like the modified betsy ross flag like the icon we have in the upper right hand corner the the the stars from betsy ross flag but with the roman numerals uh for the three the number three in there um you know various versions the gadget and flag you know uh stuff like that and some some parts of these you know like for instance the the proud boys are specifically male only they do not allow women into the proud boys so that's kind of another recce feature there's other more notable actions like i mentioned uh earlier earlier this year the summer violence these agencies were there not in force and not really not really in significant numbers but for instance the kenosha shooting they were definitely there also the the violence at the charlottesville riots in 2017 was a direct result of these organizations also they had a huge a huge hand in the malachi refuge siege back in 2016. if you remember that with the bundys they were also heavily involved in the kim davis incident which is in 2015 the malachi refuge siege back in 2016. if you remember that with the bundys they were also heavily involved in the kim davis incident which is in 2015 which i think was a county clerk and i think kentucky who refused to sign a uh or refused to issue like a gay or an lgbt marriage license or something like that they're also a part of the ferguson riots in 2014 2015 and the original bundy ranch standoff it's it's cut off but it wasn't on the slide here but uh i'm sorry about that but the it was the bundy ranch standoff in 2014 they were also there and most of those guys were part of these organizations so let's take a look at what these guys look like and as you can see yeah very militant very you know military-ish you can kind of see that they they heavily armed with various accoutrements of tactical gear you know some people wearing um you know gas masks things like that uh military type uniforms but there isn't really a uniform standard we've seen multi-cam patterns be be very popular lately so chances are if you see somebody wearing a multi-cam uniform and they're obviously not a cop they're not obviously not a cop or members of the military then they're probably parts of these g a multi-cam uniform and they're obviously not a cop they're not obviously not a cop or members of the military then they're probably parts of these groups so moving on to a kind of our assessment these groups are you know extremely diverse in both ideology and membership you can have guys that are legitimate like like your you know county or city rotary group or you know like the your boy scout troop could have you know oath keepers in it but you know on the other hand you can also have literally domestic terrorists that claim to be proud boys keepers of three percenters right you know um and also due to recent events a shift towards extremism has definitely been observed especially as opposition groups like blm and the nfac have gained power right you know also the sort of perceived double standard of blm being allowed to attack cities has resulted in great discontent from these groups which in turn has resulted in greater participation and counter protests from these groups you know and this is something that we're going to you know watch out for in the future this is definitely a thing to watch out for as we get closer to election time these groups you know these groups specifi w watch out for in the future this is definitely a thing to watch out for as we get closer to election time these groups you know these groups specifically are going to show up in greater numbers when it comes to protests and riots so we're going to start see just like we started to see in kenosha there was in kenosha there's a large blm contingent and a pretty good contingent from these guys as well so just keep that in mind that these counter protests are going to happen a lot more often and these guys are going to bring the heat when it comes to conflict so if these guys and the blm guys are protesting in the same area um things could go bad very very quickly you know you know it's very rare for these groups on their own when they're holding their own rallies and there's nobody else around but them they're not gonna they don't riot right that's just not what they do um but the likelihood of conflict that one of these groups protests or rallies is high um if the likelihood of a counter press protest breaking out is high as well you know these days nowadays um if you put out like on the news there's going to be a 3 rally somewhere there's going to be a blm rally pop up right there know these days nowadays um if you put out like on the news there's going to be a 3 rally somewhere there's going to be a blm rally pop up right there same day and they're going to try to start start stuff between each other so you know as a result once again this is another group we say just avoid at all costs avoid these guys with the same fervor and uh expediency that you would avoid the nfac or the blm so moving on to a way more extremist group the kkk which is an agency that we have seen come back out of the woodwork when it comes especially as the blm has gained power so obviously this group is very transparent in their extreme ideology they state that they are for white supremacy and genocide of anyone who's not white and that's also what they stand for that's what we observe them to be um doing right their actions meet their meet their uh stated goals right they these guys are also heavily affiliated with the oath keepers supercenters proud boys boogala boys neo-nazis things like that now we don't want to lump in all of these groups together for instance we think that the proud boys are more far more radical than you know the three percenters but and the boogaloo boys proba groups together for instance we think that the proud boys are more far more radical than you know the three percenters but and the boogaloo boys probably don't even deserve to be talked about in terms of the kkk because there's really not a correlation there however they are linked right and i'll talk about that in just a second but character characterized the kkk the ku klux klan is is pretty much the oldest white supremacist group still operating within the united states they have a long long history of violent murders and lynchings just go on their wikipedia page it is there have been novels and novels written about the kkk you know most people consider the kkk to be a terrorist group and rightfully so because their goal is to use terror to promote their extreme right-wing ideology you know um however the reason we're talking about them in this context is that over time the kkk has realized that their extreme right ideology and sort of lust for murder is not really marketable to the masses anymore and you know as such they've attempted to conceal their intentions their true intentions you know kkk members rarely hold public meetings anymore and will almost never admit that they pted to conceal their intentions their true intentions you know kkk members rarely hold public meetings anymore and will almost never admit that they align with kkk ideology consequently you know most kkk members have taken up the banner of various conservative political interest groups right in other words if you were to find the most radical person at a pro 2a rally or a donald trump rally or something like that they will most likely be secretly be kkk members you know physically description in a physical description the white hoods and robes have become a thing of the past but some of the more radical members will still use the swastika and other white supremacist symbols and phrases to convey their message however kkk members have been known to appear to simply be basically just radical pro-2a members or pro-liberty people um so care must be taken when engaging with anyone who appears to be a die-hard sort of liberty supporter let's take a look at some of these images here these are um images from a rally i believe in virginia um but as you can see on the top left-hand corner these guys look a lot like oath keepers they look a lot like the the um uh uh proud boys or something l but as you can see on the top left-hand corner these guys look a lot like oath keepers they look a lot like the the um uh uh proud boys or something like that but and these guys you know may claim to be but they're 100 definitely aligned with the kkk and then in the top right hand corner you can see we've censored the image because um youtube does not allow the swastika to be displayed anywhere in their videos and their sort of algorithms will catch that so we didn't want this video to get flagged and taken down but these guys yeah definitely rally with the traditional things you'll see them like this guy holding the nazi flag but you see eight feet in front of him is a dude with a don't tread on me flag so you can see how that ideology has changed a lot it's not really the same but you know these radical extreme right you know hate groups terror groups are absolutely taking the banner of liberty and and trying to sneak that message in even in the bottom right hand corner we see the um members of the actual nazi party and as you can see they have um that sort of a white flag with the the black x and we have seen that a lot on supposedly pro liberty uh things like morale patches we' ee they have um that sort of a white flag with the the black x and we have seen that a lot on supposedly pro liberty uh things like morale patches we'll scroll past instagram we'll see a morale patch that has that sort of you know x on it and uh that's not what people think it is i don't i don't quite think that is the uh white nationalism flag and it's definitely a a a a sort of flag synonymous uh with the nazi flag right and um so you know coming back we kind of see in the upper right hand corner back on the slide the the similarities between the the confederate flag which is of course a thing that the ku klux klan and other radical right-wing groups use um other moderate groups use it too right a lot of people who have no ties to the clan use the confederate flag as well however not very many people use the white nationalism flag the southern white nationalism flag which is the white background with the black x in it so just keep that in mind if you see that flag that's what that means it's not a pro liberty flag at all it's not a heritage flag at all it's definitely an extremist flag so you know obviously the kkk is an extremist group they're a terrorist group we all know this heritage flag at all it's definitely an extremist flag so you know obviously the kkk is an extremist group they're a terrorist group we all know this right um but you know going into our you know analyst comments for this you know just like every other insurgent group and terrorist organization on earth the kkk has had to adapt to a changing population in order to remain semi-relevant in the 21st century you know concealment and quiet meetings have been their way of coping with an unsupportive populace and most true kkk operations are conducted in secret you know consequently we obviously recommend avoiding all of these groups you know but also remain vigilant because you know remember you you never really know what a person is thinking or what the ideology they truly have until they have taken action which would you know be too late right so um moving on to a sort of a a different sort of flavor of group right which is the back the blue movement now this is a sort of movement it's not really it's not really a movement right it's not really a group it's um it's just sort of a thing that we have noticed coming out um in response to a lot of the blm protests we've seen a lot of peopl really a group it's um it's just sort of a thing that we have noticed coming out um in response to a lot of the blm protests we've seen a lot of people come out with back the blue rallies right and so their objective is to support police and law enforcement entities right um and you know some of the more affiliated movements are the oath keepers three percenters proud boys some of the more conservative parts of of america right in society and you know characterized the back the blue movement sort of it definitely sprung up in opposition to the blm message of you know defunding the police so as more people come out and protest to defund the police more you know back the blue people show up you know this sort of combined with the politicians immediately charging police officers with crimes or participants in police involved shootings you know this has resulted in a large number of citizens protesting in support of law enforcement right every time you have an issue in 2020 you know you know i i don't like you know oranges like the the fruits i'm gonna hold a rally that says oranges are bad well 20 minutes later you're gonna have a pro orange group show up you know how citrus is great uits i'm gonna hold a rally that says oranges are bad well 20 minutes later you're gonna have a pro orange group show up you know how citrus is great and everything so this is exactly one of those things where blm is anti-police and these guys show up as well so you know paradoxically you know many of these protesters are very pro-2a as well and extremely pro-constitution when in you know and in fact a lot of police officers could routinely be observed to be wearing three percenter morale patches on their gear you know although this practice has become increasingly more forbidden in late 2020 as people as police of the barber started to strip ideology out of their ranks um but yeah the main i the main sort of identification feature is the thin blue line flag and other apparel and things like that they some of the more notable in engagements the reason that we're talking about this is due to the kyle written house shooting the kenosha uh shooting response to kenosha shooting in 2020 well where you know kyle rittenhouse you know shot we're not going to go into that incident but basically it's come out after the fact that he was definitely a member of the back the balloon movement and 're not going to go into that incident but basically it's come out after the fact that he was definitely a member of the back the balloon movement and he was there to counter protest or or whatever the blm people so um as as time goes on we're definitely going to see more and more of these type of things happen right so let's take a look at what this sort of looks like and you know like any other normal rally protest their flags are the back the blue flag thin blue line flag pretty much all that a lot of times you'll see them wearing their old you know if they're retired police you'll see them wearing police shirts and things like that um so yeah that's sort of what they look like a lot of times you'll also see them affiliated with you know other first responder type things like you know fire departments and ems as well to sort of lump those all in together even though they're not really the same um entities but you know this you know moving into our analyst commas for this one this movement you know while it's not it's not not it's um it's not a violent organization it's not a violent group it's but it is a paradox right you know cognitive dissonance is a is basically the the watc m it's not a violent organization it's not a violent group it's but it is a paradox right you know cognitive dissonance is a is basically the the watchword for this group because these protests are usually conducted in the name of liberty and they're sort of touted as being conservative liberty-minded protests but the ideology of their preaching doesn't really match up with reality right in other words you know the slogan of don't tread on me is frequently stated but they frequently support things like more gun control you know red flag laws no knock raids and other tyrannical actions right so the reason that we talk about this this sort of very flawed ideology is that you know this matters because this group has the highest disparity between what they say and what they do right so this presents an interesting but unpredictable atmosphere which could present an unexpected risk when interacting with opposition groups like blm and fac and moving along to a relatively unknown agency is the socialist rifle association or the sra now these guys propped up and sort of named themselves as an operation is in opposition to the nra as a far-left communist oriented gun rights group that's wha guys propped up and sort of named themselves as an operation is in opposition to the nra as a far-left communist oriented gun rights group that's what they state they are we've observed that they are definitely a far-left group but they're also of very much a sort of lgbt militia group and they are also anti-gun rights they're anti-gun rights for their political enemies right this is definitely a radical group right um similar movements that they're affiliated with are the blm antifa and also the redneck revolt which i'm not sure if anybody's heard of before but you could go read about them they're not at all what you think they would be based on their name but characterized they're a very small group very very small but they gain notoriety due to recent actions which i'll talk about in a second um but yeah they were started on social media on facebook and 2013 is a sort of tongue-in-cheek joke um uh political enemy to the nra and this entity has since then organized into a real militant group over the years from their very first you know serious engagements at the charlottesville riots you know the sra has swelled to several thousand members um they're self-reportedly comprised o know serious engagements at the charlottesville riots you know the sra has swelled to several thousand members um they're self-reportedly comprised of approximately 7 000 members of which roughly 1 000 of which identify as lgbt which is interesting so they have a huge sort of lgbt message as well in their group you know also like i mentioned earlier they tell themselves as being a gun rights group but in reality the sra mostly tries to train and form left-wing militia movements to attack political opponents right so they're not a gun rights group at all despite that's what they say they are they're only gun rights for themselves um you know defined physically they you know wear black block clothing and uniforms much like uh antifa however they do have a very strong soviet and communist uh air about them with lot with lots of communist slogans and memorabilia so let's take a look at the image as you can see they look in this particular image we can't really find a whole lot of images of these guys on the internet because nobody really cares about them but um this looks like another picture of the nfac but it's not these guys are um definitely the socialist rifle association and uh cares about them but um this looks like another picture of the nfac but it's not these guys are um definitely the socialist rifle association and uh yeah they more or less are pretty much the same as other those other groups except they're definitely more marxist you'll see a lot of people be oriented with both the sra and blm for instance you know in some of the more notable actions they were definitely present in in um significant numbers like in say more than a dozen people at the kenosha riots as well as they were involved in the kyle written house incident like we mentioned earlier and they were also present in charlottesville and were the result of their presence resulted in a lot of violence there so you know moving on to the analyst comments again you know while relatively still small the sra sra remains a significant threat in the areas that they maintain a positive influence in you know such as the pacific northwest or you know left-wing strongholds you know sorry for the type of there on the slide but you know the sra can be separated from traditional right-wing or conservative gun rights groups because they don't champion gun rights rather they they take advantage of g be separated from traditional right-wing or conservative gun rights groups because they don't champion gun rights rather they they take advantage of gun rights in order to arm and fund themselves and other insurgent groups within the u.s you know despite the fact that this seems like it's a really huge threat because they're basically a a a communist insurgent group in the united states um you know sra members and leadership have demonstrated you know basically technical and incompetency with firearms you know as well as in a completely ignorant viewpoint of military tactics they have no idea how to use any of this stuff but you know as we've learned with other groups with time comes experience so as the sra participates in more engagements they you know they will as more kenosha incidents happen as more calibrated house incidents occur as more charlottesville incidents occur they will undoubtedly gain more knowledge on how to be more effective with their targeting of their political enemies so moving on to a very odd agency i will admit this is just one of about a dozen different groups within the united states that are roughly the same as this one so when we when we talk about th mit this is just one of about a dozen different groups within the united states that are roughly the same as this one so when we when we talk about this organization the isupk there are a lot of other groups just like them that have roughly the same ideology they just want to be separate for for the sake of being separate but this group is the israelite school of universal practical knowledge and this is basically a um it's basically a religious cult right they state that they are for black supremacy and the genocide of all non-blacks but their observed actions are you know of course they are they do stand for black supremacy and genocide but they're also a religious cult um some of the more other affiliated movements are other groups like the israelite church of god and jesus christ which is odd because it's a supposedly jewish organization that's founded in jesus christ which makes no sense at all but the characterized this group and other groups like it is a unique religious cult whose core beliefs you know center around the idea that all persons of african descent are the true descendants of the 12 tribes of israel um and you know this this organization's unique radical beliefs hat all persons of african descent are the true descendants of the 12 tribes of israel um and you know this this organization's unique radical beliefs have gained popularity over the years because it's quite anti-semitic you know this organization is relatively small with only a few dozen branches around the united states but it's still got a pretty good pretty good following in some of the larger cities you know while religious in nature this organization retains a military rank structure you know they're they're um their leader going by the name of commanding general yahanna i think that's how you pronounce it um and you know as a result of this you know they claim that the true jewish people are of african descent you know this means that this group has a very strong anti-semitic message because they say that people who identify as jewish like nowadays like people who are actually from israel and are actually jewish they say they're not really jewish as such they can they harass and target actual people of jewish sin right so these guys usually get the message out via webinars or sort of websites or street preachings and you know loudspeaker operations this is their primary tool guys usually get the message out via webinars or sort of websites or street preachings and you know loudspeaker operations this is their primary tool and form of harassment they've gotten into a lot of trouble over the years for having loudspeakers in certain urban areas and that's sort of how they gain their popularity they also align with various left-wing ideologies and they have been seen at recent blm protests albeit in small numbers um physically described i just i'm just gonna have to show you a picture of these guys because it's just it's just weird i'm sorry uh you know it's kind of hard to remain neutral with these guys because it's so radical um but they started off for the most part was wearing black black clothing but they also routinely use the star of david and as well as black bandanas and shimogs tied around the head as well which is which is weird because shimogs are typically islamic but these guys typically use them as well and some isupk members also wear turbans which is interesting because that's a whole variety of other eastern cultures wear turbans but yet they have been observed to be participating in summer violence 2020 and all the riots and things like y of other eastern cultures wear turbans but yet they have been observed to be participating in summer violence 2020 and all the riots and things like that not in huge numbers but they've been there we've seen them and also they've been basically known for their street preachings from 2007 to now essentially and let's take a look at the the images so as you can see the the images have a very flavor like the the the videos and the webinars they have have kind of a feel of an old school 1990 al qaeda style uh filming to them but it's it's different they have a lot of you know they almost look like isis but they're they're definitely not islamic they're very um anti-anti-muslim and anti-islamic but they're also anti-semitic so it's kind of it's kind of weird we're having a hard time characterizing their organization other than the fact that it's just completely foreign to us in that it doesn't make a whole lot of sense so like an upper right hand image you've got guys that are just you know in traditional middle eastern arabic garb and you know islamic tradition stuff but they also have you know menorahs and other jewish religious items scattered throughout their tv sets which is odd ou know islamic tradition stuff but they also have you know menorahs and other jewish religious items scattered throughout their tv sets which is odd you know they also dress in leather and other black block clothing a lot of times which doesn't make a whole lot of sense at all so you know just kind of a kind of a unique organization and this isn't the only one there's many organizations like this nowadays they're becoming radically more popular and the reason that we talk about these guys is because they're a textbook extremist group and a religious cult but that doesn't mean that they're not harmless right you know that that doesn't mean that they're completely um incapable of of attacking someone you know with the rise of extremism during the summer of violence as well as the you know left-wing and sort of black supremacy nature and flavor of this organization it's extremely likely that the isupk and other groups like them will gain notoriety and followers because they're going to once again attach themselves to the black supremacy ideology the same one that the nfac uses the same one the blm uses in some cases and and things like that which means that it's it's easy for them to ideology the same one that the nfac uses the same one the blm uses in some cases and and things like that which means that it's it's easy for them to solidify with other groups and and get bigger right it's also likely for this group to band together with other even hostile opponents like the nation of islam the nation of islam is supposedly a group that's completely i you know a hostile agency to this group but considering that you know black supremacy is a is a huge part of their organizations uh this will likely be uniting factor for organizations uh like this one to sort of band together with their enemies which is is just completely strange but that sort of seems like the theme so far all right so moving on to another more traditional group is the nation of islam so for a lot of our old-timers out there you'll remember this group but for some of the younger persons out there this is a group that's not really talked about a lot anymore but during the civil rights movement in the sort of 60s through going in on through the 80s even into the 90s the nation of islam was a very popular group their objectives are or were primarily black supremacy black separatist but it's all relig n into the 90s the nation of islam was a very popular group their objectives are or were primarily black supremacy black separatist but it's all religious based it's heavily seated in islam however they have over the years been observed to of course be for black supremacy for black separatism but they're also very much associated with a sort of cult ideology they're very also very anti-lgbt and very very anti-semitic which is what you sort of expect from an agency that is founded in a religion that is in opposition to judaism and these guys got really popular over time because they're of their affiliations you know malcolm x aka his real name malcolm little and um uh louis farrakhan of the farrakhan movement and his sort of religious cult his real name being louis eugene walcott and you know sort of muhammad ali being a huge voice for the nation of islam because he was taken under the wing of malcolm x and other people like that they also have ties to the church of scientology and things like that so this is a more this is a very a very long standing group you know as we see by our characterization here the nation of islam is one of the largest and longest lasting islamic blit-base ry long standing group you know as we see by our characterization here the nation of islam is one of the largest and longest lasting islamic blit-based black separatist groups in the world you know while not as widely known today um as their highest point of popularity was during the late 20th century that you know the nation of islam is still around today and still remain retains a large influence they they do a lot of their stuff through more higher political offices for instance there are a lot of congressmen a lot of judges a lot of celebrities that are part of nation of islam or have ties to it right so it's more of a um it's it's cooled down a little bit from its militant days but um and taking on more of a corporate atmosphere you know which which makes it very unlikely to directly link any sort of nation of islam leadership to rioting or crimes right you know and physically described um really you know islamic dress and traditional african attire you know is pretty common also same you know suits and ties are also common you know there really isn't any way to tell one person if a person is a member of the nation of islam as you can see here in these images you know upper le now there really isn't any way to tell one person if a person is a member of the nation of islam as you can see here in these images you know upper left-hand corner of you know louis uh eugene walcott and malcolm x malcolm little they're speaking you know with a huge banner there is no god but allah behind them you know very much a radical militant group as you can see on the bottom left hand the bottom right hand corner these groups definitely have a flavor of the you know the black panthers are heavily rooted in nation of islam and things like that but as you can see in the upper right hand corner even just a couple weeks ago there are riots and protests and demonstrations the result of nation of islam now i say riots but it's they don't really riot so much this group isn't founded in writing this group is founded in demonstrations and fear tactics and things like that you know as a result they're notable actions and engagements that there's just far too many to list there have been thousands and thousands of protests and riots and murders and everything a true redesignation of islam right so you know moving on to the to the analyst comments you know while in recent times the blm murders and everything a true redesignation of islam right so you know moving on to the to the analyst comments you know while in recent times the blm leadership is seemingly more radical than these guys you know this organization is just as radical as blm but having more experience you know the nation of islam has retained a lower profile in order to prevent the arrest of senior leadership you know the blm leadership they can sit there and call for the genocide of why it's all they want but they're eventually going to get arrested or pinned to something whereas the nation of islam believes the same thing but they're not going to say it they're not going to come out and be obvious about it you know also demographically the nation of islam is comprised of more older people whereas the majority of blm participants is mostly younger people people who are too young to remember the violence of the original civil rights movement of you know the 60s and 70s you know additionally the message of anti-semitism from the nation of islam is likely to entice a new generation of extremists over time as you know many of our previously identified groups have had these same anti-semitic tendencies y to entice a new generation of extremists over time as you know many of our previously identified groups have had these same anti-semitic tendencies you know just like the isu pk the nfac blm they have you know antifa all kind of have an anti-semitic message kind of interlaced in them sometimes you know and while the nation of islam does not necessarily share the same context concept of black separatism like you know blm and fac do the nation of islam overall is is open not as openly radical you know for reasons that we've talked about before so they're not usually get caught right and you know as such not being radical enough is likely to result in conflicts between you know the nation of islam and other groups which on paper should be allies so you know we can't we can't forget that the blm and nation of islam might end up creating a sort of um adversarial relationship between the two because they're not radical enough right and they're just demographically different enough to create that conflict there so the nation of islam is definitely one worth uh uh watching out for in the future though and then lastly we have the the one group of everybody else people who are not involved initely one worth uh uh watching out for in the future though and then lastly we have the the one group of everybody else people who are not involved in any of these groups and we have to talk about these people because these people are starting to to be more and more active right basically the goals of unaffiliated citizens are self-preservation right you know and you know traditionally unaffiliated citizens and people who aren't part of any of these groups they're not they don't join a group they're not going to join a group unless that movement provides the most security while at the same time not removing their cultural identity right so people aren't going to join a group that you know takes away their cultural cultural identity but they will join a group for security's sake for instance the taliban in afghanistan right you know the taliban did not force people to you know get rid of their political or or religious beliefs they just wanted you know people swear allegiance to them very you know it's a very crude explanation of it but that's sort of how it is whereas you know if you join the blm you know you're basically saying that you give up a certain ideology and you're assu but that's sort of how it is whereas you know if you join the blm you know you're basically saying that you give up a certain ideology and you're assuming their ideology you know same thing with nation of islam you have to convert basically almost like converting a religion to joining some of these groups which unaffiliated citizens will not do unless it provides a significant amount of security while not damaging their own culture at the same time um so this group we you know characterize is basically the underestimated silent part of society of citizens who don't want to get involved but are forced to and this is becoming increasingly more and more necessary or at least you know more and more people believe that it's necessary you know we're starting to see more and more counter protests of people that aren't even part of a group but they're going out there and combating the blm people who are rioting right so we're seeing that happen more and more often however the concept of the useful idiot is definitely in play with this category of people basically people who are being taken advantage of by other groups to get an end means across right you're able to convince somebody to go y of people basically people who are being taken advantage of by other groups to get an end means across right you're able to convince somebody to go out there with an ar-15 and a plate carrier to go stand in a line because it's what the ideology needs and it's what we need to save ourselves from group x y z right but in actuality you're really just putting them out there like you know a sort of bullet catcher so that they can start the violence and you are running your corporation back from afar so however that's very you know how how often that happens and how widespread this is is entirely situation dependent you know essentially the physical description of this is everybody anybody who is not affiliated with anything so basically the physical description is anybody there are no uniforms and no races or social classes education or any other factor will dictate who these people are and the notable actions that unaffiliated citizens are affiliated with is um we don't have any um at least not yet and and really it's impossible for us to know this it's impossible for us to know who is going to be engaged in something so for instance you know kyle rittenhouse we don't know what polit to know this it's impossible for us to know who is going to be engaged in something so for instance you know kyle rittenhouse we don't know what political group he was sort of you know we know that he was very supportive of you know back the blue movement but we also know he was very liberty minded as well so we're going to start to see more and more people come out that are like that um and yeah so it just makes it very difficult to to predict these things in the future sort of moving on if we wanted to put these put these groups on on a chart right put them on a map and sort of talk about how they're related to one another and things like that we could do this we could sort these guys by political affiliation with these guys on the right and these guys on the left and we could call it a day right but that's not fair right that's not fair to these groups because it's not and that's why we sort of mentioned how the the idea of the political compass is not exactly a good explanation of what's going on in america today because we have such a disinformation campaign from literally all of these entities and other entities that make it hard to figure out what the ideology is of of any o uch a disinformation campaign from literally all of these entities and other entities that make it hard to figure out what the ideology is of of any of these agencies right so we think that a more fair way to do it is to just put these guys on a graph and understand that there are links between them right this is your basic link analysis right a very crude way of demonstrating that some of these groups have alliances with others they are linked in some way right with each other and then we also can say that you know very broadly that a lot of these groups have enemies right they have an adversarial relationship with a lot of other groups right some groups like the isupk and antifa they target unaffiliated citizens simply because they don't pick a side because you're not antifa so you're going to be attacked even though they're not really an enemy of antifa they just don't engage in that stuff so you've got to understand that you know there's a lot of this sort of you know adversarial relationships and friendships going on you know there are also other things like unaffiliated citizens that are gradually starting to come into the picture you've got all these other groups that are st re are also other things like unaffiliated citizens that are gradually starting to come into the picture you've got all these other groups that are starting to crop up because more and more people are getting upset and want to sort of take their communities back and want to have their you know voice heard or things like that so you've got some groups that are kind of overlapping you know also you have criminals you have a criminal element you have everything from your street you know your street local street corner drug dealer to you know your heavy organized crime with your cartels and you know your your gang violence and stuff out on the west coast and things you know that sort of stuff is playing into all of this this is all a factor you know you also have groups that we didn't talk about that are coming out of the woodwork like the black panthers that we didn't mention today um and and these groups are sort of kind of infringing and sort of blending with all these other groups and that makes it very very hard to understand what's going on with these groups that's why we try to you know not um we try to not be biased towards any of these groups and try to be as objective as poss going on with these groups that's why we try to you know not um we try to not be biased towards any of these groups and try to be as objective as possible and just call things like we see it because it's so complex it's kind of so hard to even pick one of these groups and say what do you stand for right so that's why we're trying that's why we put this video out you know and as time goes on we've got groups like the unaffiliated citizens who may decide to you know be anti-blm but also pro back the blue and pro boogaloo but also have some kind of criminal element to it you see how that kind of works it's very very complex you know the unaffiliated citizens can are going to start to join these groups and are going to start to form these alliances and these um ideologies and that just makes that already complicated situation even more complicated right it makes a a it definitely makes it more faction factional and and um regional based and it's just very complicated to to talk about and then that's not even mentioning the whole thing that's worth a whole other video which are um how these alliances affect one another between unaffiliated citizens and then but not even that right that' t's worth a whole other video which are um how these alliances affect one another between unaffiliated citizens and then but not even that right that's that's not even the the biggest concern the another concern is all of the external actors if you don't think for one minute that russia and china are taking advantage of all of this to sow discontent right as soon as there's anything that comes out that's anti-us government you know whether it be from the boogaloo boys or from any you know from antifa or it doesn't matter if there's an article written that comes out about how the us government failed at this how the us government was wrong and this the chinese and the russians immediately amplify that so you might not there you know we're of course no defenders of the atrocities of the federal government or even the state governments but at the same time you've got to realize that a lot of times this stuff is inflated it is it is definitely altered or a lot of times it is you know just outright fault stuff that's being portrayed by china and russia to weaken the united states because a weakened united states means that they can do whatever they want as we're seeing with the chinese na and russia to weaken the united states because a weakened united states means that they can do whatever they want as we're seeing with the chinese aggression in the south china sea and also as we're seeing with the russian aggression uh in you know ukraine a few years back but now belarus and you know so there's that going on you also have politicians you know the republicans are going to take advantage of xyz the democrats are going to take advantage of xyz it's election year it's going to be a crazy year no matter what so you add in all this election stuff on top of all of this and it just becomes a ridiculous thing you know you also have private billionaires you know bill gates george soros take your pick you know you've got private interest groups that are trying to to put forward and and and get through their own political ideology their own power base so it's very very complex situation and that's why we're trying to urge people to understand that you know these groups are not necessarily your friend even though they say they are you know these these people even the unaffiliated citizens may not be your friend even though they say they are so this is something to keep in m are you know these these people even the unaffiliated citizens may not be your friend even though they say they are so this is something to keep in mind you know and you know as we move forward we have to remember that despite all of this despite all of these complex relationships the only person that is going to routinely get screwed by all of these other people are you the individual unaffiliated citizen right that's the that's the bad part is that none of these groups are going to champion the unaffiliated normal person just trying to make a living and that's the unfortunate part and that's why we're here that's hopefully the s2 underground project can fulfill this thing can fulfill this and help you know just help people for the sake of helping people right so um you know once again hopefully this was helpful as we sort of move forward into our conclusion um you know i just want to remind everybody that our intent here was not to inflame or incite or or or say things that weren't necessarily true or anything like that we simply wrote this we all got our heads together all of us took a took a topic and a slide and we all put together this product because we think that it's some rote this we all got our heads together all of us took a took a topic and a slide and we all put together this product because we think that it's something worth talking about now in the future we'll probably have i can guarantee you we'll have a a sequel to this talking about some of the other groups because i guarantee you that before election day there's going to be other elements in other parts of society that come out and other groups that are formed as a part of this and also moving forward after the election you know depending on how that goes we may have other fringe groups come out and and um and and do things that way so um yeah i just you know i hope this was helpful for everyone um and just as another reminder before we close out that we we do have a website up we're trying to increasingly steer more traffic to our website even though it's kind of an empty shell at the moment we're we're definitely going to put more and more stuff on there because we're we obviously being the agency you know you know that we are we get targeted by a lot of social media and a lot of other third party places so we're trying to have our own space where we could say what we want without fea geted by a lot of social media and a lot of other third party places so we're trying to have our own space where we could say what we want without fear of retribution so our website is probably going to be the place that we do that from now on but also we have our teespring store if you wanted to support us i just wanted to mention this because you know a lot of people ask we get a lot of dms every day about you know hey how can i support you guys well this is how you can support us go check out our stuff on teespring we're trying to work on a better option right now for teespring but right now that's all we've got because we're trying to maintain as anonymous as possible and the the minute that we you know link our actual payment information things to something like a patch vendor is when you know we get our real names out there so we don't want that we're trying to be as private as possible and teespring allows that because you don't know who we are and we don't know who you are is buying and it goes through a private uh third party so yeah that's that's why we have that set up so hopefully once again this has been helpful and um just make sure to check out all of our other stuff so yeah that's that's why we have that set up so hopefully once again this has been helpful and um just make sure to check out all of our other stuff if you're listening to us on our podcast check out our youtube channel and if you're watching this youtube video check out the podcast i if you're listening to either one of these you will love the other i know people who don't necessarily like podcasts like youtube format which is why we spread to youtube um but if you like our youtube videos you'll definitely love our podcast because we go a lot more in depth in things so yeah that's i think that's all we have for to now for now and um we'll be back with more content soon and as you guys always know always remember to fight in the shade so s2 actually out and we'll see you next time
