COINTELPRO (an acronym for Counter Intelligence Program) was a series of covert, and at times illegal,[1] projects conducted by the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) aimed at surveying, infiltrating, discrediting, and disrupting domestic political organizations.

I think the topic of this thread is Adam getting arrested, but this side discussion about the merits of weed can be addressed in a separate thread, if people want to.

Personally, after all the media Adam got for his upcoming 2d amendment march including on Fox and CBS, I think that had more to do with it.

But, to each their own. People should be able to do what they want. But, again, don't expect me to claim you are fighting for liberty because you managed to get high, or tried to talk others into doing the same. lol

Adam Kokesh is more productive for Liberty than you are, Ma'am. And he smokes pot and does other drugs openly. take that for a gander.

So, is Kokesh like in court now?

Probably just a hearing in front of a magistrate to set bail and a later hearing for an arraignment, but I'm not sure how fed court works.

It's your right to smoke all the dope you want and bear arms, hopefully not at once anyway. But the way Kokesh goes about this is all wrong. He's cointelpro or a f-ed in the head showboating jackass who needs help and is going to set all we've worked for back a generation with his antics. Jail is probably the best place for him now.

I don't know that is the case at all.

People encouraged other people to drink as a way to beat back Prohibition.

If pushing back and eventually overturning Prohibition is a struggle for liberty (I think it is) then there is a good example.

How pro liberty.

Kokesh's style isn't my style, but he was trying to make a difference, pro liberty, and wasn't hurting anyone.

I'm definitely on his side on this one.

I have a right to my opinion. The crap he pulls makes all of us look bad. He was banned from events for a reason and that was it.

Have you seen one post from this person that isn't advocating some sort of division?. Nothing more than slander and derogatory names.

Not sure either.. was some "Federal Crime" alleged?

Why are they making a Federal Case of it? ( like that should even be possible)

In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Anti Federalist again.

This.

The more common pot smoking becomes the more likely the popular opinion will become against prohibition. Mass smoke-outs and other forms of marijuana protest can be effective in this manner.

I have a right to my opinion. The crap he pulls makes all of us look bad. He was banned from events for a reason and that was it.

That doesn't mean that it's not an immoral opinion. You disagree with a guy, thus he deserves to have guns pointed at him and be forcefully kidnapped and held against his will in a cage. Nevermind that he has not violated anyone's personal liberties. That's pretty fucked up if you ask me.

And that's based on his alleged threat against Romney, which you can't post a link to because it didn't really happen?

Do you likewise take a person's imprisonment as proof of his guilt?
