Kokesh and Rand Paul – BFFs

| February 5, 2010

TSO phoned me from the road yesterday about a Rand Paul/Adam Kokesh video. I hope I found the right one, because it appears that there are several on Youtube. This one is from last summer and filmed in Kentucky;

It’s funny, but I agree with everything they said – but it’s what they don’t say that makes them dangerous. Like in other clips where Kokesh mentions “humble foreign policy”. Yeah, that sounds like what we need right now, what with Chavez building up his military for a confrontation to our south and negotiating away oil to China. With North Korea expected to build a missile that can reach the US by the end of next year. With Iran threatening the Middle East and Europe. Russia trying to rebuild the old Soviet Union. Yeah, let’s be humble.

I wonder if Rand knows he’s discussing gun rights with a convicted arms smuggler (sorry, a little Gordon Duff-style hyperbole there).

Too Kooky for Kentucky finds white supremacists supporting Rand Paul just like they supported his father. Here’s another Kokesh for Congress video edited by Josh Paul. I can’t find any familial ties to Ron Paul, but it’s a bit coincidental.

I think it’s hilarious that Kokesh avoids talking about IVAW these days. There’s a reporter for Stars and Stripes who did an interview with me and Army Sergeant last summer about the IVAW who is holding up publishing the interview until he can interview Kokesh who won’t return the reporter’s call. Kokesh now likes to call himself an “Iraq War veteran” instead of an IVAW member these days. I guess the need for xanax and gin has worn off.

Quick question, whatever happened to IVAW and Code Pink? Never see them on TV or in the newspaper anymore. Weren’t they media darlings or something which also included shitbird, Kokesh.

IVAW and Code Pink are out there but the media is only interested in the anti-war opposition when they are opposing a Republican.

Thane Eichenauer:
Thanks, I had a strong feeling that might be the reason.

You’ve probably already seen this, but here is some footage of Gathering of Eagles vs. IVAW “Winter Soldier II” in New York a while back.
