What are Boogaloo People?

 Well....these are people who 'IDENTIFY' as (notice how I worded this) a fairly loosely gathered group of far-right antigovernmental extremists.

They seem to chat a bit on inciting or creating a 2nd Civil War.  They have a tendency to always be pro-gun, leaning toward pro-white topics, shuffling around on neo-Nazi topics, and at times condemning racism/white supremacy.  

The odds of FBI infiltration?  I'd say it's 100-percent possible, and there might be more than a hundred FBI guys who are fake-boogaloo types (my humble belief).

Where the term originates?  Back in 1984....a movie came out called 'Breakin II: Electric Boogaloo'.  This was an American 'dance-musical' which centered mostly around a script where the local community center was supposed to be torn down.....and locals set off to oppose this.  They spent around $3-million on the movie, and via critics....it was mostly given a dismal review.

How this movie translates to the movement?  You'd have to be looped-up on drugs and booze....to figure some connection.  My gut feeling is that some FBI folks wrote up a white-paper on how to create a crazy movement, and just for the hell of it....put one together....just in time for the internet to carry it nation-wide.

If someone were to chat over them and try to convince you to come to some meeting?  I'd decline and limit this person who tried to entice me to marginal friendship (they probably are FBI-related in some way).

Who fabricated the phrase 'far-right' or 'alt-right'.
.
b)
And while we are on the subject of fresh fabrications... in the 1946 classic KEY LARGO, Edgar G. Robinson as character Johnny Rocco complains:
* "After living in the USA for more than thirty-five years, they called me an undesirable alien. Me. Johnny Rocco. Like I was a dirty Red or something!"
.
When did those dirty reds become 'blues'.
And what would blues greats B.B. King or Stevie Ray Vaughn have to say about that association.
