What is the Boogaloo Movement and its connection to Oklahoma? A Thread:
The Boogaloo Movement is an Alt-Right Anti-Government Militia movement that started as a meme-centered community in the depths of weapon-based online forum boards like 4chan and Reddit.

Despite their claims in-person at recent protests ("We're here for BLM, we're here to protect you") many members are neo-fascist white supremacists who froth at the mouth waiting for a civil war. @bellingcat did a story on this recently https://www.bellingcat.com/news/2020/05/27/the-boogaloo-movement-is-not-what-you-think/
In that article, we see the many telltale signs of a Boog. /k/ boards, "warwave" style agitprop memes, Hawaiian shirts (although recently many Boogs have been leaving those at home) Boogs are not your friends, and they never will be.
Christopher Ledbetter was arrested/raided by the FBI earlier this year for accelerating messaging about a civil war being "fun" and his home in McLoud was found to have had enough for a small armory. More on that here: https://oklahoman.com/article/5664003/mcloud-man-in-dispute-with-police-faces-weapons-charge
Christopher Ledbetter also went to Syria to fight off ISIS with the Kurdish people, however, @UR_Ninja has a short documentary on this, and the type of people who showed up (some claimed they came to "shoot Muslims" something I'm sure Christopher was enthralled by)
Now let's turn our attention to the second in command of The Downtown Movement here in Oklahoma City: Nicholas Odparlik, a military vet, once demoted from E6 to E5 and has made local news a few times. The most notable prior to 2020 is his struggle with a tattered American Flag.
Nicholas worked a security job at Loomis where, for a year, he had to walk outside to see an American Flag waving that was tattered and worn on the company property. One article reports that "he just snapped" and took it down. He was later fired for this.
More on that story here https://www.kansas.com/news/nation-world/national/article210700209.html
Nicholas was recently relieved of his duties as a Legal Observer in OKC for reasons unknown, although has was seen spitting in the face of a jail trust member at an action (he claimed he was just blowing smoke at this person, but eyewitnesses claim otherwise)
Nicholas claims to be a "National Socialist" which is just Nazism. The term was essentially used to hide the fact that Nazis are violent genocidal maniacs and we had an entire war about this. Nicholas knows this and saw no issue letting people know he identified as this.
Nicholas is seen most recently at an action sporting the Hawaiian adjacent look that Boogs often sport. If you are wondering why he is unarmed, he claims after the protests he was arrested and his weapons were confiscated.
This may be related to his suggestive Facebook likes. The most noteworthy here is "Christopher Ledbetter needs our help." See earlier in thread on Ledbetter and his excitement for a civil war.
Next, we have The Big Igloo, a known Boogaloo Movement group, and the first sign to spot a Boog. Yes, he surrounds his likes with leftist interests to what I can only assume is to throw others off. Unfortunately for Nicholas "warwave" is the nail in the coffin
"warwave" is similar to Vaporwave, the internet style of music and imagery mostly distorted in a glitch-punk manner, but for fascists. Here's a Boog page claiming credit for Kyle Rittenhouse murdering two people in Kenosha, posted prior to a positive ID on Kyle.
If that wasn't enough of an indictment on his Boog affiliation may I offer up another /k/ page and two more warwave pages.
It goes unnoticed for most, but TSwift was used by neo-nazis as their dog-whistle for an image of a perfect white woman "untouched by feminism" this was really prevalent during 2016, and she made the news quite a bit surrounding this, although it wasn't as public.
One trip to Nicholas's Facebook will show you just how often Mr National Socialist spreads his love for Taylor Swift. https://www.facebook.com/uni.odparlik see for yourself (unless he has deactivated as of this post)
Here's Nicholas unmasked, and then his many different protest looks.
Boogaloo Boys are dangerous, they are waiting for a civil war, they infiltrate protest spaces, sometimes they're obvious, sometimes they gain the trust of organizers. The Downtown Movement has been a concern for folks since May 30th, and to this day.
If any more footage or images surface of Nicholas at protests whether past or future, they will be added here. This man has been welcomed by many, but mostly The Downtown Movement as he is their second in command according to leader Trevor Webb.
Still not convinced this man is a fascist? JuchWave is a North Korea warwave page dedicated to their dictator and his military personnel. You may notice he Taylor Swift page as well Nicholas likes her a lot. We can talk about why.
