The flash player above will play the livestream whenever we are on the air, and we intend to be broadcasting coverage of this very important event live until 4 p.m. EST.
I would like to thank everyone who donated their hard-earned money to make this broadcast possible from the bottom of my heart. God bless you! ~ Bobby
EDITOR'S NOTE: At the last minute I had to switch streaming services. I have updated the player above to play the first of two raw livestreams broadcast that day. My Ustream channel can be found at: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/the-truth-is-viral
I'm in the process of combining my stream with the stream that Guerilla Media Network's Audiosoldier produced, off-camera interviews, and MUCH, MUCH, MORE. Stay tuned to The Truth Is Viral for this exciting, and very important, episode.
URGENT CALL TO ACTION!!! - On Saturday 7/18/14, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., there will be an OPEN CARRY protest in Lansing Michigan, where red-blooded American citizens and legal residents will be showing their colors to protest the importation of diseased illegal aliens into the United States, the Great State of Michigan in particular. The Truth Is Viral Publisher and Editor-in-Chief Bobby Powell (that's ME) will be at this protest providing live coverage of this event; IF I can afford to go.
Going to Illinois to see my mother in advance of an extremely serious surgery to remove her cancerous spleen, gall bladder, pancreas, and parts of her stomach took every cent that I had and was able to borrow. The surgery was cancelled yesterday because her doctors agreed that if my 83-year-old mother undergone this surgery she would almost certainly have died on the table.
As I type this I am at a Wendy's in Ft. Wayne Indiana on my way home with just enough money and gas to get there. If I am to be able to cover this OPEN CARRY protest I am going to need enough money for gas to return to Lansing after I take my son back to Alpena so that he can look after my wife until I return, food, and one night's lodging in the cheapest motel I can find. My daughter has been looking after her mom this week, but will be unable to do so after tonight.
I've already driven 400 miles today with another 300 to go before we get home, and I'm really not looking forward to another 250 mile drive back to Lansing with only a couple of hours of rest, but hey... I'll do whatever it takes to defend this nation from the invasion of MS 13 gang members and diseased illegals (there are very few real "children") that is being encouraged by Hussein Obama.
I've always said that it is my Honor, and responsibility, to walk point; but you guys know that I need you to cover my six and flanks. Production costs of TTiV are covered by whatever I can save from my disability check and the pittance that Google pays for ad revenue. Special coverage like this is only made possible as a result of your generous donations, and at the moment my war chest is empty.
If you are financially able, please go to www.bobpowell.blogspot.com right away and click the Paypal button on the top right of the page to donate to defray the costs of this special live broadcast. The Truth Is Viral depends on on YOU to get the truth out, and this OPEN CARRY Illegal Immigration protest is an extremely important event.
If I get to go, my co-hosts for this live 4-hour event will be Marine Corps combat veteran and TTiV FB admin/Forum Big Wig Jimmy Ellison, along with the Guerilla Media Network's very own Audiosoldier. I have also been in touch with Pete Santilli, who has promised to simulcast the protest on the Guerilla Media Network and the Rense Network, which will give us a potential audience in the millions!
If you do not live in Michigan, there are going to be simultaneous protests in nearly every state, and I would encourage you to attend the one closest to you. You can find a list of protest locations here: http://www.alipac.us/f8/protest-times-locations-july-18-19-national-protests-against-amnesty-307111/
Even if you can not donate monetarily, as TTiV prayer warriors you CAN get on your knees and ask our Heavenly Father to protect us and make the event a success. You can also SHARE this post everywhere that you can think of, so that those with the ability to provide for our financial needs will be aware of those needs.
From the bottom of my heart, I thank you in advance for whatever assistance that you can provide. Remember, this is time sensitive. We need to generate at least $200 in donations before midnight so that I will know if I will be able to cover this extremely important event.
On Thursday, January 9th 2014, I was with my son
Adam, his girlfriend, and their son – my grandson – Jaiden Daniel, when a
situation arose that caused me to fear for my life and the lives of the three
children who were with me. I reacted to the situation as I believe that any
responsible person would and addressed that threat. As a result of my perfectly
reasonable actions I was arrested by the Michigan State Patrol and charged with
Simple Assault and Brandishing a Firearm; both misdemeanors. I was able to bail
myself out about 4 hours later.
I wish I could be more forthcoming about the circumstances of my arrest, and
indeed I will as soon as the case has been adjudicated; but for now I hope that
you will believe me when I say that I did what any reasonable person would do
to ensure the safety of my children from an imminent threat.
I have retained the services of an attorney, but before he
enters his appearance on my behalf he wants $2,000 retainer which must be
paid this week so he can prepare for my arraignment on the 22nd of
January. My bail and the cost of having my truck hauled from the scene and
impounded wiped me out financially. So once again I turn to you, my TTiV
family, for help.
Please click the Paypal button on the right to donate whatever you can afford, whatever you will
not miss, to my defense fund. I would never ask anyone to put themselves out
for me, but if you have a few dollars to spare they would most certainly be
appreciated. If you do not have a credit card, or if you are wary of using the
internet to conduct financial transactions, you can also send your donation to:

My friends I give you my word that the only thing on my mind
when I made that split-second decision was saving the lives of the three children
behind me, and that there was absolutely no criminal intent on my part. I just
did what any responsible person would do, and now the justice system must
decide whether I acted within the scope of the law. I believe that being in
legitimate fear of an imminent deadly attack is a valid defense; but as I found
out when the MSP slapped the handcuffs on my wrists, the State reserves the
right to make that decision.
Please don’t ask me to go into the details of the case any more
than I already have. After I am vindicated I will tell all, I even have video
(which, hopefully, is going to save my butt,) and once this latest attack on my
family has been dealt with I will share it with you.
Thank you in advance for your donations, and for sharing this post with others
that might be able to help; but most importantly, please keep me and my family
in your prayers. We need those most of all.
"Gun-free Zones" are, in reality, free-fire zones where bad guys can rob and murder with impunity because nobody is around with a weapon to stop them. 12 people died and another 70 were wounded in Aurora Colorado when James Holmes shot up a movie theater, which was a "Gun-Free Zone." Had there been a responsible citizen carrying a weapon in the theater, could those people have been saved?
The Clackamas Town Center Mall in Portland Oregon might also have been a high body count massacre, which is exactly what shooter Jacob Tyler Roberts had in mind: Slaughtering Christmas shoppers. What, you didn't hear about that one? That's probably because 22-year-old Nicholas Meli was there with a gun too, and the moment the cowardly shooter saw Meli pull out his weapon he shot himself in the head. So there was no massacre. Imagine that.
The reality is that:
* Guns used 2.5 million times a year in self-defense. Law-abiding citizens use guns to defend themselves against criminals as many as 2.5 million times every year -- or about 6,850 times a day. This means that each year, firearms are used more than 80 times more often to protect the lives of honest citizens than to take lives.
* Of the 2.5 million times citizens use their guns to defend themselves every year, the overwhelming majority merely brandish their gun or fire a warning shot to scare off their attackers. Less than 8% of the time, a citizen will kill or wound his/her attacker.
* As many as 200,000 women use a gun every year to defend themselves against sexual abuse.
* Even anti-gun Clinton researchers concede that guns are used 1.5 million times annually for self-defense. According to the Clinton Justice Department, there are as many as 1.5 million cases of self-defense every year. The National Institute of Justice published this figure in 1997 as part of "Guns in America" -- a study which was authored by noted anti-gun criminologists Philip Cook and Jens Ludwig.
* Armed citizens kill more crooks than do the police. Citizens shoot and kill at least twice as many criminals as police do every year (1,527 to 606). And readers of Newsweek learned that "only 2 percent of civilian shootings involved an innocent person mistakenly identified as a criminal. The 'error rate' for the police, however, was 11 percent, more than five times as high."

In this episode of The Truth Is Viral, Bobby takes a break from international gloom and doom and talks guns - Open Carry vs Concealed Carry - while he makes an awesome spread of tacos.
When he was in the Marine Corps, Anarchist activist Adam Kokesh was a "Civil Affairs" POG (Personnel Other Than Grunt). One accurate description of the Marine Corps Civil Affairs duties is "winning hearts and minds" - PsyOps - a military occupational specialty for which he has found a use as a civilian.
In this episode of The Truth Is Viral, the viewer will see and hear members of Kokesh's own team say that he was initially unmolested by the Washington D.C. Park Police because he was not actually smoking marijuana in front of the White House. You read that correctly; the entire "Smoke Down Prohibition Joint Summit with President Choom" was nothing but a show; theater designed to deceive unsuspecting Internet users into thinking that Kokesh was actually smoking marijuana in front of the White House.
Only Kokesh's inner circle - literally the people closest to him, those who were standing right next to him - knew that he was putting on a dog and pony show for the cameras, that he was not really smoking pot. Kokesh was counting on the fact that there is no Smell-O-Vision App that would expose him as a fraud. He was hoping that Internet viewers would see this act of "civil disobedience," take note of the fact that the Park Police did not arrest him, and then he would claim "victory" over The Man when he wasn't arrested.
Fortunately for you dear viewer, the Truth, and The Truth Is Viral, Adam Kokesh's associates have big mouths. Statements made by two of them, before and after his arrest, confirm the assertions put forth in this video; that Adam Kokesh is a liar, a fraud, and a Traitor, and that he was NOT smoking marijuana in front of the White House when he claimed to be "enjoying a moment of cannabis reflection.
It wasn't until later, when the Livestreams had been turned off and the live Internet audience was gone, that Kokesh's plans to be seen as a dope-smoking peace-loving David taking on the terrible Tyrannical Goliath were changed. Once the curtain fell on his little act and he was no longer "in character" - The intrepid, fearless marijuana crusader fighting for truth, justice, and the God-given American right to get blazed on your couch and gorge on Cheesy Poofs and Ding Dongs - Kokesh got arrogant (more so than normal) and made the mistake of smoking a REAL marijuana cigarette in front of the Park Police; he was immediately busted.
Not only has Adam Kokesh betrayed his country, he has betrayed those who look up to, follow, and support him. He is a man easily bought with Dollars or Rubles, trained by intelligence agencies in both the United States and Russia like a modern-day Lee Harvey Oswald, a man who has yet to take an oath or make a promise that he hasn't broken, a man who will align himself with persons of the worst possible character in an effort - wholeheartedly endorsed and set into motion by Barack Obama - to destabilize this nation as a paid agent provocateur.
For more than two weeks, The Truth Is Viral conducted a campaign to stop the "armed revolt" planned by Anarchist activist Adam Kokesh. Despite death threats from the most ridiculous individuals, supporters of Kokesh, we published several episodes detailing his connections to the most unsavory characters, and TTiV host Bobby Powell was busy appearing on nationwide talk shows PPSimmons Radio Network, The Pete Santilli Show, and the Next News Network.
As a result of all of that work - documented in this Episode of The Truth Is Viral - we are pleased to say that Kokesh was stopped dead in his tracks and the armed march on Washington D.C. was cancelled. After pressure began to mount, Kokesh changed his plans, asking his listeners to organize their own efforts to march on the Capitols of their individual states to protest.
Adam Kokesh has refused multiple invitations to appear on The Truth Is Viral, even blocking the show's Facebook page from commenting on his Facebook page where one such invitation was extended; only to be deleted. What he will be doing on this coming Independence Day is anybody's guess; but for now, at least, this one threat to the Republic has been marginalized.
Questions about Anarcho-capitalist Adam Kokesh's connections with the Muslim Brotherhood remained in the mind of internet radio host Pete Santilli when he invited TTiV Publisher and Editor-in-Chief Bob Powell onto the Pete Santilli Show to defend a report last week that accused the incendiary activist of participating in events alongside enemies of the United States including the Muslim Brotherhood front known as the Islamic Society of Boston; spiritual home of the brothers Tsarnaev, who stand accused of detonating two bombs at the Boston Marathon.
The explosive discussion between these two broadcaster heats up as Bob tears into Kokesh for his connections to people who truly hate the United States, proves that Kokesh is anything but a Libertarian as he claims, and justifiably rags on his horrific fashion sense; but seriously, who is going to listen to a man who looks like a bum and flaunts the law with statements like "F&@k the law, smoke it anyway!" and "Make no mistake, this IS an armed revolt against the government of the United States."?
Adam Kokesh is an undeniably charismatic personality; then again, so was Hitler. It is not the editorial position of this program that Adam Kokesh is a Nazi, just that certain individuals can lie convincingly and have even well meaning, and knowledgeable, individuals believing everything they say. The Truth Is Viral has great love and respect for Pete Santilli, his assistant Susannah Cole, and the work that they do to defend the Republic and people of the United States; but we fear that in this instance they have fallen under the spell of a conman.
Kokesh has been invited onto this program four separate times to defend himself against the accusations leveled at him by investigative journalist Tim Brown of www.freedomoutpost.com - accusations verified by The Truth Is Viral - invitations we know he has received, but as of this writing he refuses to do so.
The editorial policy of The Truth Is Viral is that the 2nd Amendment issue is one of the utmost importance to the citizens of the United States, that the effort to protect it should be left to sober, responsible individuals who don't go around advocating the violent overthrow of the United States Government, and that Adam Kokesh should stick to trying to legalize marijuana. Real Patriots don't need, or want, the "help" of an individual who calls the Constitution of the United States a "failed experiment" and advocates getting rid of it all together. Apparently the oath that Kokesh swore to "protect and defend" it doesn't mean much to him.
Further, it is the position of The Truth Is Viral that County Sheriffs are the individuals that the Founders meant to lead the "well-regulated militia" that is the focus of the 2nd Amendment. Almost 500 individual Sheriffs from every state in the Union and 22 state Sheriff's Associations have publicly stated that they would not enforce any unconstitutional gun laws, and these men of "manly firmness" - men such as Sheriff Richard Mack, Sheriff Joe Arpaio, and Sheriff Denny Peyman - were not only charged by the Founders with the duty of leading their local militia, but also by their constituents; their neighbors, friends, and family, who depend upon them to stand by their oath to "Preserve, Protect, and Defend The Constitution from all enemies, foreign AND domestic."
County Sheriffs are elected officials. They were selected by their neighbors, their friends, and their families, to serve their interests and protect them not only from common criminals, but from a Federal government turned Tyrannical. As demonstrated by those intuitive Sheriffs that can see the writing on the wall, warnings so plain that one does not have to be the Prophet Daniel to interpret them, it is the firm belief of TTiV Publisher and Editor-in-Chief Bob Powell that County Sheriffs are going to be the last line of defense against the Tyranny that has fallen upon the citizens of these United States; and it is these men, not radical activists like Adam Kokesh, that should be supported and charged with our defense.

Being a Civil Affairs POG (Personnel Other Than Grunt) does not excuse the extremely poor tactical planning that went into Anarcho-capitalist ("F the law, gimme your money") and former Marine Adam Kokesh's "armed revolt against the U.S. government" scheduled for July 4th 2013.
In this episode of The Truth Is Viral, host Bob Powell takes the viewer to a real bridge and demonstrates how the Washington D.C. Police Department, the U.S. Park Police, and the Department of Homeland Security plan to arrest anyone who sets foot onto the Arlington Memorial Bridge with a loaded weapon; and fire upon those who resist.
The tactics contained in this video are not only common sense, but are taught to Marines in boot camp. That can only mean that Adam Kokesh is purposely leading his followers into what he knows is an extremely dicey situation - a "Kill Zone" - where the slightest miscalculation will be enough to get someone killed.
The Truth Is Viral can not stress enough how important it is to share this video everywhere in hopes of convincing those planning to fall into Kokesh's formation to abandon those plans and save their fervor, and their lives, for the right time and place.
In Part Two of this interview with Tim Brown, Editor-in-Chief of Freedomoutpost.com, delves further into Kokesh's unsavory past, and his even more unsavory friends; scumbags ranging from hateful Code Pink activist Cindy Sheehan to the terrorists of Hamas and Hezbollah. At the end of this episode, I also include an update about my wife's courageous battle with Stage IV Colo-rectal and Liver cancer.
Many have compared this march to the Battle of Lexington and Concord, where history records that the "Shot heard 'round the world" began the Revolutionary War; those people need to crack a history book, because Kokesh's march on the nation's Capitol bears absolutely no resemblance to the first battle of the American Revolution. Many more are frustrated that the numerous, and obviously criminal, scandals embroiling the Obama Administration have not yet ended his failed Presidency and are ready to take the law into their own hands; to start a new Revolution.
With a recent poll showing that nearly one-third of American voters expect that they will have to take up arms to take back the reigns of power from a federal government gone insane, many of those people have just been waiting for someone to lead them. Adam Kokesh wants to be that man. This is a frightening thought. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/05/02/poll-armed-revolution_n_3203315.html
By his own admission Kokesh suffers from PTSD so severe that he has trouble handling large crowds; not a trait one would expect to find in a military commander. Another trait displayed by Kokesh that is anathema to any true Patriot is his support of terrorist groups Hamas and Hezbollah - Enemies of the United States - and radical anti-war activists including Iraq Veterans Against the War and Code Pink, that tried to deface the Vietnam War Memorial, an act of vandalism Kokesh himself attempted to participate in before the group was stopped by Honorable Vietnam Veterans at the 2007 Gathering of Eagles. Kokesh also counts the Occupy Movement, funded extensively by anti-American Jewish billionaire George Soros, as his allies.
In addition to U.S. State Department-listed terrorist organizations Hamas and Hezbollah, Kokesh also has extensive ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. The Muslim Brotherhood and al-Qaeda are two sides of the same coin; one the political wing, the other the military. The organization, which states publicly that their goal is the overthrow of the United States from within, has thoroughly infiltrated the Obama administration, helping to cause his foreign policy of toppling stable Middle-eastern governments in favor of theocracies led by the Muslim Brotherhood to come to fruition.
Finally, as shown on his personal Facebook page, Adam Kokesh lists "Obama for America" as an employer. Assuming he gets out of jail in time to lead this Open Carry march, is there any better reason not to follow this man on the 4th of July? Other than the fact that one shot from an anxious Patriot or an agent provocateur would start a bloodbath and give Obama all the excuse he needs to implement Martial Law that is.
The Truth Is Viral does NOT support Adam Kokesh or his ill-advised and poorly though-out plan to stage an "armed revolt" in Washington D.C. on the 4th of July; in fact, TTiV urges everyone to stay as far away from the event as possible. It could very easily turn ugly.

Much has been said recently about Anarcho-capitalist activist Adam Kokesh, who has promised to lead an Open Carry march of 10,000 locked and loaded demonstrators on the United States Capitol of Washington D.C. on the 4th of July. On this episode of The Truth Is Viral, Tim Brown, Editor-in-Chief of Freedomoutpost.com, delves into Kokesh's unsavory past, and his even more unsavory friends; scumbags ranging from hateful Code Pink activist Cindy Sheehan to the terrorists of Hamas and Hezbollah.
