Adam Kokesh Cancels D.C. March (interview)

[damiengwa]

Kokesh: "Please don't come to DC"

Even as the organizer he "might not" be there.
Now a march on all 50 states. Guns optional.

I'm glad he cancelled it, I thought it wasn't thought out completely, although I appreciated his fighting the fight.

I hope he didn't cancel it under threats, but of his own free will, rethinking it.

 

[bolil]

Well, there goes that investment. Thanks Adam.

 

[phill4paul]

If he marches he's a looney if he doesn't he's a pussy. SMFH.

LOL! The FreeAdamKokesh site was up 6 days before he was "arrested." This guy is playing people for fools.

Adam Kokesh Cancels D.C. March

In other words, he couldn't find enough crazy people to volunteer to be human targets for the police and it was going to be an embarrassing and epic failure.

The alarm was sounded all over the internet on this ludicrous plan. People listened.

What makes you think he can cancel it? He doesn't have super powers.

Enough of that conspiracy stuff dude...do you even have a link. People said that sandy hook fbook pages were up days in advanced. all debunked. inaccurate google date stamping on re-titled fbook pages were to explain. Like any one planing this stuff would make such an obvious mistake. how can "they" be so competent as to have a 7 year planted co-intel agent slowly gaining support only to blow the cover so easily.

Weren't you the guy that said he got turned on by Adam's biceps pose? You are not really impartial when it comes to Adam, are you?

Obviously others can continue it. I guess I meant I'm glad he's not calling for it: I think good people will get in trouble with less benefit than other ways of structuring this would allow. However, I support people fighting for liberty with non violent civil disobedience if they are prepared for the consequences.

as to the free Kokesh page, I have no idea when it went up, but I think it is entirely possible they EXPECTED him to get arrested -- just not until the DC march -- and intended to use it to raise awareness. Now Adam has already been arrested and jailed for nothing as far as I can tell, has a 'prior' potentially, in the citation, and his Dad was just arrested coming into the country. (That was his Dad, wasn't it? I didn't follow that, really.) He's put more on the line than most.

The Trolls on this Website are part of the facebook page, "The Modern American Revolution". They have been trying to spread rumors that the armed March on Washington DC is cancelled. This is not true, bring your guns and kick some ass. As for the racist right attacking Kokesh, everybody who supports Kokesh should go to the Modern American Revolution and give them all the special trolling you have. http://www.lolbrary.com/content/883/how-to-troll-traffic-8883.jpg

I have heard Adam say the march is not cancelled. Until i hear him say DIRECTLY that the march is cancelled, refer to the above.

Fuckin trolls...its springtime, i guess a new batch of trolls has sprouted from the manure.

I don't know anything about his dad being arrested. You might be right about his supporters putting the site up before the march, but something is still very fishy about the way Adam was arrested. Standard protocol in a arrest was not followed when he was arrested. He was not cuffed before being taken away. That seems very strange to me.

They did put it up in expectation for the DC march. In fact, they were caught off guard when he was arrested earlier and put up a hacked together, broken site because they had to go live with it earlier than they were expecting. They registered it because they wanted to prevent the domain from going to one of his detractors.

Standard protocol in a arrest was not followed when he was arrested. He was not cuffed before being taken away. That seems very strange to me.

Pause this video at 3:53. He's cuffed.



They tried to take him down to the ground ( presumably to rough him up a bit and cuff him ), but were unable to destabilize him and his hands were up and rigid so they ended up dragging him standing up to the cordoned off area where they cuffed him.

They didn't take the other guy to a cordoned off area before cuffing him, so why did they do that to Adam? And what makes you think they couldn't have taken him to the ground? Adam may be strong but they two of them on him would have brought him down easy, and they could have just tazed him if he didn't listen to their demands like they do to most everybody else.

I think his targeting was strange. But I was thinking that they were looking specifically for him in order to put the pressure on BEFORE the march they actually wanted to impact, not that he was in on it. I don't have a hard and fast opinion of Adam, but I take people on good faith until shown otherwise, and I liked him enough to donate to his campaign at one point. I didn't like the way he reacted at the end of Ron's campaign, but a lot of people were upset in that time frame, and were acting out of emotion, so I don't put it down to anything suspicious.

Poe didn't just put his hands up and stabilize himself, he was flailing around and was taken to the ground and roughed up because of it. Kokesh didn't resist being arrested, he prevented himself from being thrown down the ground. There was also an angry yelling mob right next to them.

Either way, he was cuffed before being taken away.

seriously? I'll have to watch the youtube in the OP now.... :/

OK go to 1:20 where he speaks of the march and says 'that's off now, not cancelled but.....' essentially diffused into multiple marches so no one head can be cut off by disappearing someone is the way he seems to put it. And he was willing to go into solitary for thirty days which is the limit of what they can do with the 'speedy trial' law per what he was saying....

He is saying his parole is based on his not doing things so on June 8 may not be able to do something unless charges are dropped...I was primarily listening to find out if the march was canceled and half tuned out after that, so I went back and listened to this part after others commented. He said he did WAS able to be at the follow up smoke out event in June because he didn't have bail, and it is Poe who can't go because he has conditions. So they have another opportunity to arrest him between now and the march, I guess, at least one, since I have no idea what the rest of his schedule may contain... and I didn't listen to the whole thing.

I will say Adam looks a lot better than he has in youtubes I've seen at the end of and after Ron's campaign. Getting his teeth into this issue seems to agree with him.

OK, thanks for letting me know that, I didn't see this video before and your explanation makes sense about the way he was arrested.

Are you sure he wasn't talking about Poe? Poe is out on bail, but Kokesh made no concessions and has no court date.
