RE: Smashing Through the Bullshit: An In-Depth, Investigative Look at #Kokesh2020.

Is it your position that "imaging" and "spin" should be run past every donor? (Then the police state only needs to donate to Kokesh to be informed of his plans, and pre-empt them.) Is it your position that there should be no "spin" in his campaign? (Then, perhaps, he fails to raise enough money, and his campaign dies, and he retires from public life, as I have. ...And perhaps that means that, like Weimar Germany, "the good side" loses. ...and our kids go to the gulag in chains. ...Sometimes, a Lilburne in the right place is exactly what everyone needs to literally save civilization. ...Whether they know it or not.)

...And what if people simply stopped contributing unless there was drama? Many people know that "conflict wins eyeballs." If Adam goes too long without conflict, he might be seen as "consuming scarce pro-liberty resources without delivering civil disobedience."

If the $6K wound up in his gas tank (instead of fighting a bail requirement?), that's too bad (in one sense) ...assuming his donor is upset that he gave to one cause, and it was used for another. ...But all resources are fungible, and I don't get the sense Adam is super well-paid, and "living in comfort."

Adam is one of many people fighting, sporadically and weakly, for individual freedom.

I hope he survives and thrives, to the extent he helps stop the state from sending innocent people to cages.

...He certainly "represents me"(represents my thinking) more than Bill Weld, Bill Redpath, Nick Sarwark, or Bob Barr does.

Let's try a thought experiment: ...If there's a singularity, and people are trying to deliver the vial of nano-armor to Bill Weld (so we can have a merciless drug war for all of eternity as we cringe at the feet of our police state overlords!) or trying to deliver the vial of nano-armor to Adam Kokesh (so we can have drug warrior prosecutors, judges, and cops stacked up on Vlad-the-impaler spikes on every street corner), I know which one I'm going to vote for.

...And yes, I'm kidding. (kind of)

Sort:  

This is ridiculous man. Nothing about your comment attempting to justify dishonest actions makes any of said activities okay. You write as is Kokesh is some sort of messiah none of us can survive without.

You write as though you are American and actually have a say in it.....

I have to be "American" to talk about Voluntaryism? Nah.
