Oathkeepers statement on the Adam Kokesh July 4th march.

Armed march by Adam Kokesh from the Oathkeepers board of directors ~

James Hanna ~ Oath Keepers does NOT endorse Adam's march. The leadership at Oath Keepers has a wealth of tactical experience, and marching into the enemy's camp, to be captured makes no sense. What is to be accomplished by this action? What could possibly go wrong? These are the questions a responsible leader asks before sending his troops into harm's way. This is either tactical ignorance, or willful endangerment; the latter being the worst of the two choices.

I would say that Adam's choice of the words "Oath Keepers" is no accident. He is VERY familiar with Oath Keepers and our mission. Not only are his tactics questionable, so are his ethics. Not only has he embarrassed himself by announcing a pointless and irresponsible armed march, he has damaged his integrity by using the good name of Oath Keepers to bolster his own agenda.

Comment by Petunia Skrebbles on May 29, 2013 at 7:58pm: Lets see if I understand this correctly..... Kokesh begins a call for Washington DC march July 4, he gets arrested for doing nothing wrong, is in jail for a couple of days, comes out with charges dismissed and two tickets for some minor violation and the calls off the march and SUGGESTS MARCHES ON STATE CAPITOLS? Now what does that suggest to anyone besides me? He got his marching orders and he followed them. I guess they could not see anyway to pull it off when we were all calling it a set up. Its what happens when you do so many false flags in a row, and every single one of them gets outted, what in the world did they think we would think about it all? Only the emotionally driven would have bought into that obvious set up. Oh, well, marching on the state capitols are just as bad. BUT BEGINNING A LOCALLY BASED GROUP OF PEOPLE YOU TRUST AND KNOW TO BEGIN AN UNDERGROUND, LOCALLY, IS A GREAT IDEA. Lay out plans for what you need, walkie talkies? CB's? Ham radios? What? Then what tasks should we begin working on?

Scenario developments to plan for various events that they might engage in. We already know they are not very creative, so it should be easy. Then what should we do before they make their move? We should 1. gather intel on local police connections to Home land Gestapo security, what equipment they have, how many military type armoured vehicles do they have, contact cops casually to determine their leanings. Begin identifying targets and assets for targeting..... supply lines.... how will they resupply their men? How will you take care of it and plan in advance as if you were doing it tomorrow, so that when it happens you are fully ready. That is the only way to conduct war.

Things that should make one go Hmmm...

Comment by suzie on May 29, 2013 at 3:31pm: Mistakes will be made .. A revolution is in progress elevating it to a stand down at this point wasn't a logos idea, maybe they knew it would never work and it was all to bring attention to the fact that its possible .. I'm glad it happened it made us all look at the possibilities .. It definitely brought patriots of all strips together .. I'm glad they aren't doing an OK CORRAL .. IT AIN'T OVER TILL THE FAT LADY SINGS ... LIFE gets more interesting everyday .. In the end of this particular event cooler heads prevailed .. My stand is .. God is in control of everything but he gave us brains to use ... Damn we live in interesting times ;)

Comment by Tara on May 29, 2013 at 3:13pm: Alrighty, I guess it's time for me to chime in with my thoughts on this topic. I stayed silent about it only because I didn't know a whole heck of a lot about Adam Kokesh and I wanted to hear from both sides before jumping to conclusions.

My conclusion... Adam Kokesh's July 4th march is NUCKING FUTS! He along with any followers of this madness might as well hand over their guns now and call it a day.

And talk about a mix of bravado and too much wacky!!! It's a recipe for disaster IMO. I can see no good coming out of this at all. "A pointless and irresponsible armed march" is an understatement.

Comment by TheLasersShadow on May 29, 2013 at 7:03am: I don't hate the no confidence party I just think it's dumb not to vote lol

At least waste your vote like I do each year and vote libertarian haha!

Comment by Nobody Will Observe on May 29, 2013 at 4:11am: PS. I thought you hated the NoCP ;)

Comment by Nobody Will Observe on May 29, 2013 at 4:10am: TheLasersShadow I appreciate the comments. I still fail to see the logic though.

Nor will I cheer them on from the side lines.

Nite.

Comment by TheLasersShadow on May 29, 2013 at 4:05am: We beyond the point of thinking we can vote in the change we want before things go to hell and the courts are stacked heavily against us but odd things happen due to decent Judges.

I don't have the money to go to D.C. and even If I did I'm not sure I would attend. I never said "this is a great idea" Just if its going to happen anyways support them and understand that this can be positive in either outcome.

Btw it would have been predictable if we had done nothing to push the envelope as thats the norm this was not foreseen by them ahead of time. I still don't know how they're going to handle it or how many will cross the line, they don't either.

Comment by Mr. K on May 29, 2013 at 3:57am: There is no way some globalist plant could get into a 1000 man march and discharge in the direction of police. No way would the police shoot into the march with something like that. If, in the world of the impossible (there really are no globalist plants) should something like that happen, the media would never, ever demonize gun owners and set the last year of stellar victories back. Just craziness on my part. Globalist would never be so diabolical to take advantage of such a PERFECT set up. July 4....families around....media already in position.....armed march with no place to retreat, they would be forced to fire on police and policed forced to fire into the march. No, no, no...globalist would NEVER take advantage of that.

Comment by Nobody Will Observe on May 29, 2013 at 3:45am: Sorry I misunderstood. I thought you said we were at a point beyond the courts. No its not predictable to announce that you will be on a bridge entrance to a federal region, not a State, two months in advance. Keep them guessing.

You will no doubt be at the front of the bridge right?

Comment by TheLasersShadow on May 29, 2013 at 3:32am: No one wants the Felonys the point is I think and I'm not Adam so this is from what I gather listening to him. The point is to show publicly that they are violating the constitution and not following the Heller decision. Hopefully with pressure Adam might be able to get his case to a higher court and win thus forcing D.C. and possibly other citys to rewrite their gun laws. "the right to keep and bear arms" CARRY! GUNS! openly carrying arms cannot be restricted city wide thats not reasonable in any way, reasonable is saying no guns in airports, jails, courthouses etc. or of course on private property via the owner. Want to stop mass shootings, that if left to continue will eventually bring more gun laws. Then we have to END victim disarmament zones!

Sun Tzu - Don't let your enemy dictate the when and where to do battle, don't always play defense and don't ever be predictable!

Comment by Nobody Will Observe on May 29, 2013 at 2:51am: TheLasersShadow What good will the felony's bring? And who will have control of infractions or lead?

Just asking.

Comment by TheLasersShadow on May 29, 2013 at 2:34am: @Petunia, go study revolution it's really a propaganda war for the most part in modern times. I think you misunderstand we're already in a war thats been pressed upon us years ago. I get what you mean when you say "real war" I just don't think your definition is correct if you have not included propaganda as a major factor. Don't take this the wrong way but go study Mao and his guerrilla tactics, the war college has good write ups for officers. I say Mao as he won not because I like him.

The assumption that bullets are going to fly on this march is not a factual one, it's likely that many will be arrested on felony's.

Comment by Mr. K on May 29, 2013 at 1:04am: I will no longer take Kokesh serious.

Comment by Petunia Skrebbles on May 28, 2013 at 11:28pm: The Lasers Shadow.... wow, if that is what you got out of all of the stuff we have been saying, then there is nothing I can say to fix that. It means you simply do not understand the difference between "marching to make a point", and real war. Real war, there are no games to be played. If you do not play to win, then you lose and there is no second chance to take it back and do it differently. But if you cannot see that, then there is nothing anyone can say. I suppose I could sit here and "interpret" what your positions means to me, but that is a useless exercise as well. What my position means cannot be determined by you. You are not me, nor anyone else on here. If you want to call us "stuck sitting behind a conspiracy lens," go ahead, and I am sure you can imagine what those of us with experience in the military would say about your position, but that gets us no where except the divide. Here is what I say. You go ahead and do what Kokesh wants, and the rest that believe its the way to go. I am sure there will be thousands there in Washington DC. If it works, then we are jerks and you were right. If we were right, well then at least there are some of us out here left that can do what we suggest, which is take this forward on a very serious level with full intent to win without holding anything back but DOING IT RIGHT. So, then we can't lose either way it turns out.

Comment by TheLasersShadow on May 28, 2013 at 10:14pm: @Petunia "can you think of a better way to gather information on who is a threat to these evil ones plans" why does this statement even keep coming up? They already know if you use the internet. Most do, It's a stupid cop out as well not to get involved. Guess what I grab a bag, leave my cell phone and walk out the back or get in the suv and I'm vapor in the wind. What good is knowing I'm their enemy if they can't find me?

Btw go back and check out some of the stuff Stewart Rhodes has said on Alex Jones in the past, that this is going to come to war etc. He makes no apologies.

I Think the issue with you guys is your stuck sitting behind a conspiracy lens and don't know how to take it off for a second to look around. This march has a good chance to go well, well meaning just Adam gets arrested. Go check how many other open carry marches or gatherings have gone on in the last year with out a hitch. Adam I guess wants to fight this in the courts and doesn't mind jail so LET HIM.

Whats accomplished: those sitting on the fence realize that the constitution and the courts Heller decision is not being upheld by this illegitimate criminal government. Maybe it does go bad and people die. I'm sure the truth will come out as there is going to be epic cameras there. That truth might be they opened fire or planted someone. In this time period all we're really doing is recruiting people to our side. People die in war, If you didn't know your in one. There are 2 components to war infowar and physical war. Don't go if your afraid. Sad to see so many here just don't get actions like this or can't see an overall game plan.
