Kokesh’s drug caper
TSO sends us a link that was just updated at the Washington Post at 2:05pm today in reference to Adam Kokesh’s arrest in the late night hours. Apparently the drugs involved were hallucinogenic mushrooms. Of course, that doesn’t come as much of a surprise to regular readers of this blog, since we knew of his drug problem years ago when we got this screen capture from his old blog when he announced his candidacy for the House seat in New Mexico and we figured we had better take notes before the stuff disappeared;
In the first paragraph, he admits to mixing gin and Xanax. When we first read that, TSO offered to help him get treatment at the VA, but he declined stating that he didn’t know that mixing drug and alcohol wasn’t an approved treatment for his problems.
Kokesh refused to be fingerprinted or arraigned, or to speak with court officials on Wednesday morning, said Nancy Lake, Clerk of the Fairfax County General District Court.
He is scheduled to be arraigned Thursday morning. A preliminary hearing was scheduled for Oct. 2.
“We were expecting this. We were expecting the government to raid our house,” Darrell Young, Kokesh’s roommate, told WRC-TV (Channel 4).
Yeah, so why were the mushrooms there, smart guy? For your pizza?

For pizza? What else would you do with mushrooms? 🙂
One word: “Loser!”
@2
Dumbass
Idiot
Douche. Bag.
This dude is a joke and a disgrace to competent, knowledgable Marine NCOs.
I said it once and will say it again, this idiot is as “pro-gun” as I’m “anti-military”, is obvious he is doing all this shit to push for 2 things:
1. All vets are fucked up, look at him eating mushrooms and with guns and shit
2. All pro-gun ppl are just idiots and messed up
How come ppl can’t just step back and figure it out? I presume because 1. it would take the journalist over 15 minutes to research this dude and God knows they don’t have the time (yeah right) 2. Sounds juicy this way and gets more hits and helps with the administration (I can hear the suckup sounds all the way over here from just clicking on the link)
My Spelling for Marines MCI has failed me. I misspelled knowledgeable.
Plain and simple, Kokesh the idiot and attention whore will stop at nothing to further to live up to the left’s stereotype of us Vets!
But once again, I’m “Preaching to the Choir”!
Carlos Castaneda is long dead, enlightenment through hallucinogenic exercises is not the path for political change, it’s the path to addiction and madness….Kokesh might be well down that path these days.
Ex-PH2: depends on what type of mushrooms. Some go well in marinara sauce or in a casserole. Some also purportedly make great sandwiches (for the record, IMO portabella mushrooms in any form pass the “Dundee test”, and I’ll pass on the sandwiches). And they’re pretty good sauteed in butter with a steak.
I’m guessing none of those are what Kokesh and his friends were planning for these particular mushrooms, though. (smile)
This dude hits the “hippy” definition to the tee .. even on the mushroom eating part just needs to stand up and start screaming “baby killer” and how the government is .. oh wait he does that too … 😛
I’m not from New Mexico, but Uncle Sam has had me residing here the last few years. The only reason I remember this guy running for congress is that my wife works at the local radio station, and he bought a TON of airtime on his ads. I remember it was weird because he was a Republican promising to end the war in Afghanistan. Needless to say his pitch didn’t go over well, since even though Santa Fe is in the district, most of the area is extremely rural, and he didn’t exactly “connect” with regular republicans. He pulled a whopping 29% of the vote in a two-man race. It was about this same time I stumbled across this blog (thanks Ballduster McSoulpatch R.I.P). I kick myself now for not actually showing up at any of his town-hall campaign sessions. No one really knew who he was in 2010, but I’d love to see him run again so we could have some fun with him.
@11 I wonder where he got all that money, air time is expensive …
@12 Everyone at my wife’s station was thinking the SAME thing. Nobody in this part of the state had ever heard of him. Like I said, I think he had some town-hall meetings that nobody went to. But in his defense it’s hard to get a crowd to show up for anything other than a high school football game, rodeo, or the county fair around here.
Roll Kokeshi up in some seaweed. The system is about to eat him. Yeah, it’s all fun and games until they take your shoelaces and give you bologna on white–with a juice box!
I’d love to see the research they endup to cover how he got the money, who is backing him up .. bet you 20 bucks to a penny that is all leeeeeft to the leeeeeeeft …
I think Pat Paulsen got more votes for president in 1968 than Kokeshi got for whatever office he was running for.
Pat Paulsen was the MAN!
I refuse to offer opinion on Kokesh…I pay the same amount of attention to him as I do the wind blowing.
So I wonder if Judge Napolitano will continue having Kokesh on his show?
By the way, you’ll know what to do when you get to this link.
From that foolish site Jonn linked to:
“01 Jul 2013 Update: All funds have been disbursed to Adam or refunded per donor request. The legal fund is not currently seeking any new funds but please subscribe to email updates at right and stay tuned as we may need to raise funds for Adam at any time[.]”
Or refunded per donor request. Hahahahahahahahahahahah!
Holy crap, read the twitter with the #FreeAdam hashtag .. is like teh stupid came together and just blasted into a super concentrated stupid-nova and became a stupid-blackhole .. it pulls all teh stupid into the hashtag and lets them talk
@20,,alex jones will be the first donor!
My tax dollars are hard at work feeding this turd.
@9 – Hondo, I love mushrooms with butter and garlic and a bit of wine. I can get these unbelievable mushrooms simmered in a garlic/wine sauce every summer at the RenFaire. They are to die for, along with the butterfly potatoes and beer/lemonade combo, and the beef or chicken pasties. The beef have mushrooms in them.
If it’s as nasty in August as it’s been in July, I shall hie me to the Faire and sit in the shade, writing bad poetry and ogling the men in tights, with or without swords. I may even hire the Professional Insulter to insult me.
What “problems” does somebody get from Marine Corps civilian affairs MOS?
Does he have night terrors from being caught trying to import firearms illegally?
Kokesh’s uparmored HMMV took an AK round once and that’s how he got his Navy Commendation Medal. I have the certificate around here somewhere.
Nice to see that dipshit Kokehead is still feeding his Inner Stoner….
Asshat moron
So, the Washington Post commenters are saying that the White House ordered his arrest and ordered DHS to plant the ‘shrooms on him.
If the DHS was to actually plant something on him, then would it stand to reason that they would plant just a few grams of crack to make the charge “With Intent to Distribute” instead of a “Possession”
charge for mushrooms.
Some people have watched InfoWars a little to much.
Kokesh wishes he was important enough for the WH and DHS to care about him.
#28 No kidding. If you’re going to frame someone, why leave anything to chance?
With regards to his previous drug issues, he’s either an idiot or full of sh!t. Everyone learns in school not to mix alcohol and medication. Failing that he could have read the label on his Rx.
@27 – When you consider the asshats who currently inhabit the WH, one could almost believe that story… But, NO!
One thing I’ll never understand is the pseudo Muslim beards veterans imitate once they are out of the service as though it makes them more credible.
Ya’ll look like douchebags when you do that.
@32 I’d assume that in Kokeshi’s case, the beard gives you something to grab onto and keep the little shit from flinching while you feed him his teeth.
Bag, Douche, 1ea. Expendable.
The comments in that article are just about as fucking stupid at he is. Hope DC keeps him locked up for a long, long time. Maybe they can get him the mental help he needs.
@30, TMB, as to being briefed on mixing meds with alcohol, I remember getting that in more than a few “Death by Powerpoint” briefings as well as in training pamphlets before and after deployments. Kokesh is definitely trying to be the biggest Grade AAAA IDIOT in existence, and he’s got plenty of competition. If he gets too much stupider, I can see him in the running for a Darwin Award!
Imbecile with nothing to do.
He should have been an NFL tight end accused of murder. Then the police would have put on their sunday best and politely knocked on the door and waited patiently for him to answer.
Complaint: “His housemates allege that they were mistreated by police, who they say used too much force”.
Response from Multi-Agency (Fed, State, and Local) SWAT Team Incident Commander:
“We dispatched a highly trained team to the subject’s home because he has repeatedly threatened to overthrow the US government … oh … and because he is a known radical, drug user, weapons violator, and a Type 1, Class A, Mod 0 douchebag of biblical proportion. The team consisted of helos, K-9, SWAT, TAC vehiles, and HRT. The total size of team was approx 40 personnel. In such cases we typically use overwhelming force to ensure the safety of officers involved and the general public. So in response to the complaint that we “used too much force” … yeah that is about right. As far as being “mistreated” … we assert that this band of misfits pussies believe they are mistreated by everybody.”
Dear Adam Kokesh and pussy housemates: Play stupid games, win stupid prizes….Rot in jail you idiot.

@25 – Here’s a ‘cut and paste’ job of his Navy Commendation medal citation:
FOR HEROIC ACHIEVEMENT IN CONNECTION WITH COMBAT OPERATIONS AGAINST THE ENEMY WHILE SERVING AS CIVIL AFFAIRS TEAM MEMBER, 3RD CIVIL AFFAIRS GROUP, REGIMENTAL COMBAT TEAM 1, 1ST MARINE DIVISION, 1ST MARINE EXPEDITIONARY FORCE IN SUPPORT OF OPERATION IRAQI FREEDOM II, FROM APRIL 4, 2004 TO JULY 1, 2004. HE PROVIDED HUMANITARIAN AID TO CIVILIANS DURING COMBAT OPERATIONS, ACCOMPLISHED NUMEROUS TIMES WHILE UNDER DIRECT FIRE FROM ANTI COALITION FORCES. WHILE DRIVING TO A CASUALTY COLLECTION POINT HIS VEHICLE WAS ENGAGED BY SMALL ARMS FIRE, WITH AT LEAST ONE ROUND STRIKING HIS DOOR. HIS QUICK THINKING AND CALM PRESENCE OF MIND ALLOWED HIM TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO A POSITION OF COVER THUS PROTECTING THE MARINES IN THE VEHICLE. SERGEANT KOKESH’S SELF-TAUGHT ARABIC LANGUAGE SKILLS DIRECTLY RESULTED IN THE SUCCESS OF HIS TEAM IN THE FIELD AND AT THE CIVIL MILITARY OPERATIONS CENTER AT THE FALLUJAH LIAISON TEAM FACILITY IN FALLUJAH IRAQ. SERGEANT KOKESH’S COURAGEOUS ACTIONS, INITIATIVE, AND COMPLETE DEDICATION TO DUTY REFLECTED GREAT CREDIT UPON HIMSELF AND WERE IN KEEPING WITH THE HIGHEST TRADITIONS OF THE MARINE CORPS AND THE UNITED STATES NAVAL SERVICE.
@42 makes you wonder how he went from that Marine to the douche nozzle we all know and love today….
Dear Adam Kokesh,
Here is an Arabic message for you. You can use your self-taught Arabic skills to read it. ???? ?????? ????
OK that did not work!
It read: Go fu*k a goat!
@43 – I’ve never been much for awards, but it astounds me that he got a Navy Commendation medal for driving his vehicle out of the kill zone.
That’s what you’re fuggin’ SUPPPOSED to do.
…that is to say, I certainly would recommend a subordinate for one if merited.
