Kokesh Filed Papers Seeking the Libertarian Presidential Nomination. Then He Was Arrested on Drug Charges.

Adam Kokesh, longtime anarcho-libertarian activist who first came to public prominence with Iraq Veterans Against the War in 2007 and was later a big Ron Paul supporter, today filed the paperwork necessary to officially seek the U.S. presidency. He is hoping for the Libertarian Party's presidential nomination.

He also had his RV pulled over twice by Texas police, and was arrested the second time.

A video of the second pullover that led to the arrest can be found on Facebook (and is embedded below). It shows highway patrol officers instructing Kokesh to shut off his camera at the point a police dog, off-camera, was said to have "alerted" to the RV. Kokesh was pulled over for driving 74 in a 65 zone, according to one officer in the video.

According to the Texas ACLU, the police do not have the right to demand a citizen stop videotaping willy-nilly though they have the loophole I'm sure they'd summon here regarding "truly interfering with legitimate law enforcement operations." The ACLU notes that "Professional officers, however, realize that such operations are subject to public scrutiny, including by citizens photographing them."

Getting arrested for the devils lettuce definitely increases his odds of getting the nomination.

And I know everyone is saying "who is this guy"?

I was sorta kidding, but I said nomination. That's far different than winning an election.

When was the pull-over, I wonder...could be months ago.  The article conspicuously doesn't say.  We also don't know when was the report of him being in jail.  That could also be months ago.  Perhaps the two are not related.

I'm sure Adam had pot. It happened like 2 days ago.

An "anarcho-Libertarian" nominating for party pre-selection for the next Presidential race must be on drugs to believe that he has any chance against the two major parties...

Pretty much 'par for the course', in that case..

After this last lot, I think it will just be easier to say no right in the very beginning.

Why doesn't the article say that, then?

The article is dated January 16. 2018.

The article has a date, but it doesn't give dates of events.  Pay attention.

"today filed"

From the dated article.

I'm pretty sure you're illiterate.

I don't see a date there.  Why is it in the story?

Filed Papers Seeking the Libertarian Presidential Nomination. Then He Was Arrested on Drug Charges.

He was arrested after he filed the papers, which was today.

Do you think he may have been arrested tomorrow?

Phony shit.  It happened at two different times.

It happened at two different times on the same day. The day the article was published.

Why doesn't the article say that?  And no, it doesn't.  It could be all the same day, I admit, but if you're looking for holes in the story--and who isn't, when checking alt.right news--this is one.

It's not alt right news.

The article states that all events happened the day the article was published.

True. He has no chance to win the whole thing, but I guess he has a decent shot at the Libertarian nomination.

Johnson isn't running again.

Original Quill wrote:Told ya.  Two different paragraphs, talking about two different things:

First paragraph, talking about filing for political office:

...today filed the paperwork necessary to officially seek the U.S. presidency.

Second paragraph, talking about police pulling a vehicle over.

No express or implied connection between the two paragraphs.  Old courtroom trick.  Interject a conjunction--"also"--but don't specifically say what is conjoined.

Sure as hell wouldn't let that guy write any contracts.

Ben Farmer, the Kokesh campaign's chief strategist, says in an email that "we don't know any more than you do at this time about the charges or the circumstances of his arrest. We do find it suspicious that Adam was pulled over twice within an hour of formally announcing his candidacy for President. Particularly, since he just came off of a 4 month, cross-country tour in the same vehicle without being pulled over once the entire time."




Read the fucking article dumbass.

You read it, Red.  You're just side-stepping, interjecting a third element.  1) The filing.  2) The pull over.  3) The announcement.  I sure as hell hope you don't have to write any contracts in your business.  You suck at interpreting.

Blah...blah...blah...  You got the same problem.  Your article does not connect up the incidents.  That's a form of lying, that the alt.right does all the time.

You're falling for it...or you're a part of it.
