(Philadelphia, PA, May 24, 2013)— Political prisoner and activist Adam Kokesh has released a statement from inside the Philadelphia federal prison about his planned July 4th, 2013 Open Carry March on Washington, DC. The statement was read by comedian and activist N.A. Poe, until recently a fellow prisoner of Kokesh’s, today Friday, May 24 at 1PM in front of the Philadelphia federal prison.
What follows is Kokesh’s complete and unabridged statement.
“When a government has repeatedly and deliberately failed to follow its own laws, violated the fundamental human rights of its citizens, threatened the sanctity of a free press, created institutions intended to eliminate privacy of communication, waged war at the behest of special interest that threatens the public safety, killed hundreds of children with drone strikes, imprisoned and destroyed the lives of countless individuals for victimless crimes, stifled economic opportunity to maintain the dominance of the financial elite, stolen from the people through an absurd system of taxation and inflation, sold future generations into debt slavery, and abused its power to suppress political opposition, it is unfit to exist and it becomes the duty of the people to alter or abolish that government by whatever means necessary to secure liberty and ensure peace.
“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.
Kokesh and Poe were arrested on Saturday, May 18, 2013 while speaking to a permitted marijuana legalization rally at Independence Mall National Historic Park in center city Philadelphia, in a space specifically designated for free speech. They are being framed on felony charges of assaulting a federal officer, despite overwhelming video footage to the contrary.
“They just came after Adam [Kokesh] and N.A. Poe, the organizer of Smokedown – the only two there out of hundreds present who were taken into custody,” said Michael Salvi, an observer of the rally.
At a preliminary hearing in front of US Magistrate Judge Thomas J. Rueter in the Byrne courthouse on Monday, May 20, 2013, Kokesh and Poe were denied bail. Poe was subsequently released on Thursday, May 23, 2013. Kokesh was denied release on the same day.

I see a lot of classic joooish racial traits in that photo,which only makes sense.
It`s the exact same speech from V For Vendetta only slightly reworded.Original.
Please excuse me for rocking the boat, but, this article comes from 12160, which I have found to be extremely unreliable. If I am wrong, please correct me, I am always open to correction..but how come the only place I see this is 12160, which I have no trust in? How come they let Poe out? who is Poe?
I dont even bother reading 12160, and if you want to get mad at me, thats ok, but I would like to see fromthetrenches remove themselves from 12160 and WRH… If you dont, its ok, I will still come here and promote, but I thought it might be ok to share my thoughts..
The integrity of the article, from 12160, is zero in my humble opinion.
Thanks for putting up with me. I just share what I learn, and I try hard.
go get ’em, Jenny. If you go to 12160 on your shortwave dial you’ll hear Alex Jones, so I’ve always associated them with the bull-horned shill himself.
Bad news is fun because we get to expose the liars for what they are.
Sounds like it was a jilted love affair gone bad.
As the site admin on 12160, how about some facts to go with your complaints. Or should we just buy it all on a hunch? Yes 12160 was started by an AJ fan, but he quit 4yrs ago. I listened to dozens of great broadcasters on 12160khz over 2 decades time in addition to him btw.
Like Fb we are a social network and have all kind of opinions.
Unless you hate free speech and want to dictate what 5 thousand members think and say we will keep on and hope you all will continuing joing our member generated news and discussions.
James,
Armed with the knowledge that 12160 MHz (I’ve been a radio nut for 50 years!) broadcast AJ, I thought your site was an undercover AJ site. As such I too have been cautious. As you can see we do not have much use for AJ here!
Thanks for clearing that up.
They tell us, sir, that we are weak; unable to cope with so formidable an adversary. But when shall we be stronger? Will it be the next week, or the next year? Will it be when we are totally disarmed, and when a British guard shall be stationed in every house? Shall we gather strength by irresolution and inaction? Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance, by lying supinely on our backs, and hugging the delusive phantom of hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot? Sir, we are not weak if we make a proper use of those means which the God of nature hath placed in our power. Three millions of people, armed in the holy cause of liberty, and in such a country as that which we possess, are invincible by any force which our enemy can send against us. Besides, sir, we shall not fight our battles alone. There is a just God who presides over the destinies of nations; and who will raise up friends to fight our battles for us. The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave. Besides, sir, we have no election. If we were base enough to desire it, it is now too late to retire from the contest. There is no retreat but in submission and slavery! Our chains are forged! Their clanking may be heard on the plains of Boston! The war is inevitable²and let it come! I repeat it, sir, let it come.
Never, never, never trust a Jew. Never.
They might make him a Rabbi for this.
Haha!
…..and the man to start the controlled revolt under direct explicit orders from the elite themselves is……….ADAM KOKESH!!!
Give the traitor a gulf clap before hanging his Jewish ass to the wall.
Call me crazy, but I see Jewish written all over his face in that picture.
Not crazy.I see the camel like features and soulless rat eyes too.He`s kosher.
Hahaha! My thoughts, exactly!
So Adam “CuckooNut” Kokesh is portraying himself as both George Washington and V for Vendetta? And somehow his friend Poo-poo Poe-Poe got out of jail and after he did, released a statement by General CukcooNut to go on the offensive on the 4th of July.
Yea, great idea. Whoever cares to join him is cuckoo for coco puffs in my book.
I’m sorry, but I’m still a believer in guerrilla warfare and feel it is the only way we are going to stop this madness. Not an offensive conventional type warfare which will be easily taken over and infiltrated by some agent provocauteur/undercover operative just like what happened with the Tea Party. But that’s just me.
I dont know if JD will read this..but if you do, first of all, your advice helped much in explaining my situation from before about military fighting banker wars and it went across very well in my comments. Thanks for your help. You know what I wish you would do? I wish you would make an article on the main page, and simply ask, “what is a jew?” Cause I cant figure it out. I would love to read the comments.. what is an american? we have south america, central america, and north america…so if you are american, what does that mean? north america is both the U.S. and Canada. If you are African, well, you know how big Africa is…same with european.. what are all these names that we use? and what is a jew? do they come from Jewnadia? Jewican? Jewistan? what if the word jew is a NWO ploy to confuse us and send us on a path that doesnt exist? I just wonder waht a jew is…because I dont think biden/obama/bush and his past family/clintons/etc are jew…just wondering what others takes are.
Jennifer,
Every question you have asked is answered over and over again on this site. You are new. You might want to try some of your search terms in our “Search Articles” engine up at the top right of this page.
Of course JD is encouraged to write any and every article he would and they would be posted at the top of the front page.
I’ll help a little bit if I can.
I, Henry Shivley, am an individual free sovereign national of the united States of the Americas. Understanding grammar is definitely the key. Good luck. 🙂
Agreed. 🙂
Jennifer, just type a keyword in the “Search Articles” box and you’ll get a plethora.
ADAM KOKESH and CODE PINK the connection should scare you! http://www.usasurvival.org/ck05.30.2011.html
I dont care what this guy adam does, or what the march is…Here in my capitol of Oregon we marched open carry, about 1000 people..it went well, we all went home and it was forgotten the next day..But it did get legislators to back off on some gun control legislation…let adam do what he want, this is becoming a soap opera
That’s it Jennifer, bye.
Jennifer,
There’s a big difference between those marches earlier this year and what this Kokesh is trying to do. Look at the language he’s using, phrases that include terms like “revolutionary” “overthrow” “armed revolt”.
This so-called man is attempting to discredit and damage the liberty movement by subverting it from within. It’s a dangerous situation because some people are falling for it.
We need to make an information push to expose this shill before he manages to inflict the damage he’s trying to do.
True revolution needs to bake in the oven for awhile, people need to be awoken and educated before the next phase can happen. Right now, we’re experiencing a mass awakening and we need to push momentum there, some kind of bullshit armed conflict will make us all look like crazies to the average person and we’ll get set back years, if not completely destroyed.
Well said.
