RE: Not Kokesh for "Not President" (Part 2 of 2)

in #anarchy7 years ago

That's an interesting point I've been considering as well. When we go out of our way to say "A victim was created, a victim was created!" and the people actually involved are like, "Huh? What are you talking about?" then it sounds like a regressive left tactic misguided progressives use.

Who donated that money? Do they feel cheated?

I didn't donate anything, so I'm not personally involved.

If someone who had directly lost money or been defrauded was seeking help from their community to get it resolved, then by all means we should all help. I also think it makes sense to say, "Hey, guys, did you all see what happened there? That was kind of weird, huh?" That, to me, makes a lot more sense then personal attacks in either direction.

Sort:  

Ben Farmer explains in this video that the donation to the LP did NOT come from the funds sent for Adam's defense.

Yeah, after he said this:

“We definitely raised enough money to get him out of jail today, and then at some point in the night, the decision was made, no lets donate that money that we raised to the LP, and lets stay on the DA and get them to drop the bond to zero.” - Ben Farmer

Yep. And then Kokesh stated here on Steemit that no bail was paid anyway. Zero. Even though the whole fundraisig campaign was advertised as “GET ADAM OUT OF JAIL.”

There is so much here that once you follow one thread the whole picture of the “integrity” of this presidential misadventure begins to unravel quickly.

Kokesh/the Kokesh team

  1. Hyped the arrest based on misleading info (it’s highly doubtful he was targeted because he announced he was running for president here on Steemit)
  2. Claimed to not know the charges for days while everyone else just called the jail/looked them up
  3. Secured thousands in donations through these methods explicitly to “get Adam out of jail,” and then didn’t use any of those funds for bail.
