Adam Kokesh is a former United States Marine Corps corporal who served in Fallujah, Iraq. He received an other-than-honorable discharge from the military, a decision attributed to his political activism and an incident involving the unauthorized transport of a pistol from Iraq.
Since 2007, Kokesh has established himself as a prominent libertarian, anti-war activist, independent journalist, and podcaster. He is the creator of the multimedia project “Adam vs The Man,” which began in July 2010 as a radio program on 1550 KRKE in Albuquerque, New Mexico. In April 2011, the show was picked up by RT America, expanding its reach to a national television audience. After his tenure with RT, Kokesh continued to produce “Adam vs The Man” as an independent podcast and video series, distributing content through his website and a now-defunct YouTube channel. His work is noted for its strong libertarian and anti-war perspectives.
