studiodekadent Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 I know little about Adam Kokesh, but from what I've seen I like the guy!Its nice to see more people happily indulging in anti-authoritarian, expressive libertarianism. I think that kind of libertarianism is needed to fully expose the 'revolutionary chic' faux-rebelliousness of the collectivists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that kind of libertarianism is needed to fully expose the 'revolutionary chic' faux-rebelliousness of the collectivists.I've met him once and interviewed him on the Ridley Report... there is also video coming out which I'll be attempting to post. To me the significance here is the fact that it's a large libertarian show that Washington and neocons will have unusual difficulty intimidating. Despite having a bureau here...RT does have that massive offshore base in the form of... Russia. When Internet Kill Switch Day comes Feds can cut off the hand but that will just anger the rest of the body.

Greybird Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 I cancelled cable TV in January. I am SO not missing it. Doing without even stumbling across the warrior pundits of More Socialist News Bites Central and Fascist News Central is one reason I'm getting a great return on my non-fees.Fortunately, RT also has its own growing video collection on YouTube. With others either re-posting RT segments, or, as with the clip above (thanks for that), talking about or reacting to them.RT, and its frequent questioning of the U.S. government as world Leviathan, is also available on local over-the-air viewer-supported stations. (Far more of private support than the little they still suck from governments' teats, which they really wouldn't miss if it were lost.)In L.A., these include both the now-not-PBS KCET and the now-"PBS SoCal" KOCE. The former also carries segments from Al-Jazeera, by the way, which also show the harsh and bloody side of "our" remaking of the North Africa - Levant - Central Asia region.(It would be far better if RT and AJ also questioned the politics closer to home in, respectively, Russia and Qatar, whose governments own them. Still, they're quite unfettered in casting a critical eye on the rest of the world. Unfortunately, the State-intimidated media over here rarely return the favor by examining abuses abroad.)The few frequent anti-authoritarian elements on cable channels — for me, they've been some of "The Daily Show," nearly all of Judge Napolitano's "Freedom Watch," and all of John Stossel's programs — are findable these days on the channels' sites, or YouTube, or if necessary, BitTorrent.If I could re-subscribe to cable TV just for Comedy Central, Fox Business, and Turner Classic Movies, I would. Sadly, that's not currently possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greybird Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Here's RT's potent evisceration of MSNBC as an unexpected, but long-standing, source of warmongering. (My only reservation: They don't mention that GE, owner of MSNBC, is the biggest "defense" contractor of the Pentagram, erhm, Pentagon. Slightly germane, methinks.)This clip, if you watch it on YouTube, will take you to RT's subscribable video-collection area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selene Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Steve:Correct. Cable television is a dead medium. You can pretty much import what you desire to your computer screen.I would highly recommend AlJazeera English as long as you understand their prism, it is actual world news coverage right to your screen.Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

algernonsidney Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 I've met Adam Kokesh. He's a warrior and a fighter. And he isn't afraid of anything or anybody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
