Adam Kokesh, an American who stars on KGB-TV, otherwise known as RT or Russia Today television, staged a publicity stunt at the Jefferson Memorial on May 28 and is now complaining about his arrest for “dancing.” His video is getting attention from the media, while his followers are insisting that he was the victim of harsh police tactics. But an examination of the video of his arrest shows that the event was a planned provocation by professional agitators arranged in coordination with Medea Benjamin of Code Pink, who was also arrested.
Kokesh anchors the “Adam Vs. The Man” TV show on Russia Today, an English-language channel carried in the U.S. and other Western countries which is funded by the Moscow regime of Vladimir Putin, a former KGB officer. The channel is considered a propaganda outlet for Russian intelligence services and hired an alleged Russian spy who is in the process of being deported from Britain.
One of the regular stars of the Kokesh show is Luke Rudkowski, the founder of We Are Change an advocate of the theory that the 9/11 terrorist attacks were staged by the U.S. Government and blamed on Muslims.
The Kokesh stunt, which included advance notice to the press and demonstrators armed with cameras to record the inevitable confrontation, appears to have been designed to generate interest in Kokesh’s show on the Russian government-funded propaganda channel and to depict the U.S. as a police state.
An “anti-war” veteran, former Republican candidate for Congress, and Ron Paul supporter who called for the impeachment of President Bush, Kokesh wants the public to believe that he was arrested for “dancing” at the site when the video actually shows that he and his associates were engaged in disorderly conduct. Their activities succeeded in closing down access to the memorial...

Thanks. Perhaps Kokesh will run again for Congress on the KGB ticket.
they were trying to keep the memorials solemn, and dancing was against the rules.
Kokesh and CODE PINK founder Medea Benjamin went there to intentionally violtate those rules, and after being warned politely, they openly began dancing and kissing in public in direct objection to the cops, to instigate a fight
kokesh was handcuffed, sat down, and when he tried to get up and walk away after his arrest, he was slammed, unfortunately he wasn’t slammed hard enough
You dont have the constitutional right to disobey the police after being warned about a rightful law
what a lie
the first couple went there in full knowlege they would be disobeying the police
This was a PLANNED act
I posted the full video links on this 2 days ago, kokesh PLANNED to do this, this was NOT a spontaneous event, it was a deliberate act of breaking the law by the very people who gave $400,000 dollars to the Iraqi Mujahadeen to kill Americans
I bet you are a RON PAUL fan, aren’t you?
Men are qualified for civil liberty in exact proportion to their disposition to put moral chains on their own appetites. Society cannot exist unless a controlling power upon will and appetite be placed somewhere, and the less of it there is within, the more there is without. It is ordained in the eternal constitution of things that men of intemperate minds cannot be free. Their passions forge their fetters."
who said that???
Edmund Burke
“they were trying to keep the memorials solemn, and dancing was against the rules.”
In which case the little bastard should have been summarily tossed out. Arrested? I don’t think so.
nonsense. He DELIBERATELY disobeyed a lawful order. He shoud have been maced when he refused to sit down, too.
Thanks kristinn.
Note they conveniently ignore "peacably to assemble."
In other words, there are qualifiers in the Bill of Rights.
Just because people are allowed to have guns does not mean they can use them anyway, anywhere. THAT is the analogy.
