Kokesh cancels march on DC; wants to overthrow the government
Yeah, shocker isn’t it. There’s a press release from Adam Kokesh announcing that he’s canceling his armed march on DC on July 4th. Instead he wants his minions to march on their State Capitols. He writes from his jail cell in Philadelphia where he was arrested for resisting arrest at a pot rally;
“A new American revolution is long overdue. This revolution has been brewing in the hearts and minds of the people for many years, but this Independence Day, it shall take a new form as the American Revolutionary Army will march on each state capital to demand that the governors of these 50 states immediately initiate the process of an orderly dissolution of the federal government through secession and reclamation of federally held property. Should one whole year from this July 4th pass while the crimes of this government are allowed to continue, we may have passed the point at which non-violent revolution becomes impossible.
“The time to sit idly by has passed. To remain neutral is to be complicit, just doing your job is not an excuse, and the line in the sand has been drawn between the people, and the criminals in Washington, D.C. While some timid souls will say that it is too early, that we can solve this problem through democratic means provided by government, that current levels of taxation are reasonable for the services provided, and that the crimes of this government are merely a tolerable nuisance, it may already be too late.
“While there is risk in drastic action, the greater danger lies in allowing this government to continue unchallenged. So if you are content with the status quo, stay home, get fat, watch the fireworks from a safe distance, and allow this Independence Day to pass like any other. But if you see as we see, and feel as we feel, we will see you on the front lines of freedom on July 4th, 2013 for this, The Final American Revolution.”
Signed, Adam Kokesh, May 23, 2013 from a cage in the Philadelphia federal prison.
So, I’m not shocked that Kokesh canceled the march because people on both sides, Hell, all sides, were thinking he was nutty, so I guess he figures now that he can inspire crackpots across the country to get themselves arrested while he hides out somewhere.
Oh, yeah, you IVAW-types can whine that I’m using a picture of Kokesh from his IVAW days, but I’ve never heard Kokesh say that he left IVAW, I haven’t heard IVAW disavow any of his latest political stunts. I watched one IVAW member get all screwed up over guns today n Facebook when Kokesh was mentioned, but it isn’t about guns – most gun-owners have condemned his locked-and-loaded march on DC – it’s all about Kokesh. IVAW created him, they should take responsibility for him.

Right now I’m betting that since he’s been in jail, Bubba & Thor have hammered him in the ass so hard, it’s made him even more brain damaged!
Hippies are so cute when they think they’re people.
On Memorial Day, I got to watch the Park Police confiscate muskets from members of the Sons of the American Revolution who were participating in the National Memorial Day Parade in period costumes because the muskets were “operational” firearms. I can only imagine that Kokesh followers would find themselves in prison very quickly once they crosses the Potomac, which was probably a very big reason participation would have been close to zero.
I thought ADAM KOKESH was some kind of leftist nutjob so why in the world would he want to overthrow the Obamabots?
And who is this idiot? I never heard of him.
He should punch himself in the throat!!!
Must admit to caring not much at all about this clown, as long as he stays out of my yard. But, am glad that others are tracking him. He certainly can be very entertaining, in a sad sort of way.
Shouldn’t he be yelling Avenge me! That would be a little more dramatic.
He just thinks he’s a hippie. The real hippies have kids in the Olympics and wear 3-piece suits at corporate jobs while they’re waiting to chuck it all for the permanent mobility of the KOA RV parks.
He never would have fit in in the Summer of Love.
Tom Paine laid out arguments for revolution. His premise was based on the colonists everyday experiences. From the premise the reader infers further injustices/arguments that apply to his or her own life. The Argumenter presents some topics that support the premise, and concludes with a call to action (sermons follow the same format).
Kokesh is no Tom Paine. He’s not even Dr. Joseph Warren, MD. Peewee Herman in a powdered wig anyone?
Clown.
I wonder how many times Bubba & Thor have pimped Adam Kokesh out after they “busted his cherry”? I’m sure that all that impact up his ass has worsened his brain damage and made him even more retarded!
Tin foil, anyone? Adam seems to have lost his.
people on both sides, Hell, all sides, were thinking he was nutty
I would like to formally disavow any assocation, real or imagined, with Mr. Kokesh, both personally and as spokeslegume for Planters.
This individual is well beyond “nuts”. At the risk of offending the guano industry, I would characterize him as bat-crap crazy.
I can’t figure out what’s funnier.
Adam Kokesh rotting away in Philadelphia “federal prison”, or his followers likening his latest nonsense to “Letter from a Birmingham Jail”?
Another failure, Adam. Get a job.
Although I do see a similar theme in the pro gun and pro marijuana platforms, does anyone else see a problem with someone trying to be spokesperson for both issues at the same time? Am I the only one who worries that Kokesh and his friends will mix up dates and show up prepared for the wrong protest?
The time to sit idly by has passed.
And yet there he sits on his ass, passing time. Oh, delicious irony.
Yo, Adam–you’re on the high side of 30, bro. Most people have grown up by then. When will you?
Oh, and for the record, even Wiki has you down as a Corporal. Sucks, don’t it?
[…] TAH reports that the badly-planned march of morons Adam Kokesh was planning in DC on Independence Day has been canceled. […]
Yes, let’s start in fighting among ourselves and there fore make it easier for our enemies to march in and take us over. Do these fucking tin foil wearing asstards ever think further then their dick?! Show the world a country divided and give those who oppose us the keys to our down fall.
I get being angry at the government we all are. I get dreaming of a better stronger country the one we all sing songs about and the one whose very idea our men and women are fighting for and dying over. But to opening call for us to fight now in this day in age when it seems like we’re already fighting on all fronts that’s just begging to speak another language in a couple years.
IMHO…
I keep wondering what this shitbird’s endgame is. He’s pissing away his future. I keep wondering what he’s gambling on.
Well, when little Adam hits my age bracket and goes to apply for Social Security, I sure hope he managed somehow to get in those required 10 quarters of earned income credit, because at his age, it doesn’t look good.
I take it no one has bailed him out yet?
@21
Probably not. I’m guessing they’re out scrounging up enough cans to buy their dimebag of pot for the night.
He can’t even come up with an original quote…stole that from “V for Vendetta”
What is dangerous is that he may begin to believe his own hype. Professional protestor, and seeker of the limelight. Anyone who follows that assclown deserves to be beaten about the head and shoulders with a riot baton.
A nut, but Thomas Paine was like this too…
When I hear people talk about another revolution I have to wonder if they know what went on before the first one. All the appeals through the system and such? We not only have all the methods the colonists tried but we have votes as well. And 1994, and to a lesser extent 2008 proved that when enough people are unhappy with the people in charge, the vote can be used to make changes. What they forget is that you have to remain involved in the process and continue to work on it. After the 1994 conservative congressional turn around, they called it a victory and didn’t work to make sure the Republicans didn’t become as big a pain in the ass as the ones they kicked out. In 2008, the liberals prove you could vote a party out of office even if they had the backing of the “vast right wing conspiracy” and the oil and other big money interests. But they didn’t bother to vet the guy they chose to put up as an option and they got all talk and no substance for the most part. If you want to make changes in the U.S. Government, you have to be in it for the long haul and not a bunch of dilatants. Here you get the kind of government you earn. At the moment the U.S. is deeply divided at a near 50/50 split. Rather than running for something, people keep running against the other side. No wonder nothing gets done. People say that Ronald Reagan wouldn’t have a chance with the current Tea Party and Republican types because of the compromises he was willing to make to govern. But what they forget is that he had a clear view of America and tried to work for it instead of spending all of his time plotting against Democrats. People like this Kokesh moron are all about the show and getting their name out there instead of actually accomplishing something meaningful. They go for big stunts instead of constructive work which would take to long and probably wouldn’t… Read more »
Anon @25…put down the crack pipe and back away slowly.
