Political Prisoner: Loose Change Producer Korey Rowe Arrested Iraq, Afghanistan veteran handed over to military officials by police under charges of "deserting the Army" Alex Jones & Paul Joseph Watson Prison Planet Wednesday, July 25, 2007 Loose Change producer and Iraq and Afghanistan veteran Korey Rowe has been arrested and handed over to military officials without bail for allegedly "deserting the Army". According to a report in the New York Daily Star, Rowe was arrested on Monday night at a county Route 47 residence in Oneonta. Rowe was arrested on a "military warrant" that Devlin said was brought to the attention of deputies by the Oneonta Police Department, who received information from a source outside of that department. Rowe was living at the Route 47 home, Devlin said. City police officials who were able to comment on the case were unavailable Tuesday night. After deputies received the information from Oneonta police, they reached out to the Army, and officials from Fort Knox faxed a copy of the warrant, deputies said. Arrests and court martials for deserters are incredibly rare and this appears to be an obvious case of political persecution as the Loose Change crew prepare the cinematic release of the final version of their popular documentary. According to MSNBC, "Despite a rise in desertions from the Army as the Iraq war drags on into a fifth year, the U.S. military does almost nothing to find those who flee and rarely prosecutes those it gets its hands on." The Army court-martialed just 5% of deserters last year, with that number dropping to just 1 per cent or less for the Navy and the Marines. Rowe enlisted in the Army in August 2001 and left in June 2005. He has been out of the Army for over two years. He was previously arrested under similar circumstances but was immediately released. Alex Jones interviewed Rowe at a conference in Chicago last year (watch here), during which he exposed how CNN and the military would stage photo-ops to make it appear as if Al-Qaeda members were being killed in Afghanistan, along with a host of other cover-ups and atrocities. This will inevitably backfire on the authorities, but only if we put intense pressure on them to release Korey.

Korey Rowe, the Afghanistan and Iraq combat veteran and producer of Loose Change, who was arrested on Monday under charges of desertion, presented his honorable discharge papers to the arresting officers and yet was grabbed after a sophisticated operation where police staked out his house from the woods and cut his phone lines. Rowe was interviewed about the events today for a Fox News report. Korey Rowe, 24, who served with the 101st Airborne in Afghanistan and Iraq, told FOXNews.com that he was honorably discharged from the military 18 months ago — which he said he explained to sheriffs when they pounded on his door late Monday night. “When they came to my house, I showed them my paperwork,†Rowe said. “The cops said, 'You’re still in the system.'†Rowe was turned over to officials at Fort Drum — the closest military base — who then booked him on a flight to Fort Campbell, Ky., where his unit is based, to try to straighten out why the military issued a warrant for his arrest. “A warrant for my arrest came down and showed up on the sheriff’s desk,†Rowe said. “Where it came from and why it showed up all of a sudden is a mystery to me.†Rowe said he was sitting in his living room watching the show “Cops†and drinking a beer Monday night when police banged on the door. “I thought it was the TV,†he said. “There was f-----g mad cops out there. I thought, here we go.†There were at least five sheriffs on hand for his arrest, Rowe said. They told him he had an active-duty warrant from the military. “They pulled a whole operation. They cut my phone lines. They came from the woods. It was crazy — it was ridiculous,†he said. Rowe shared further details with us about the sequence of events than is revealed in the Fox News article. According to Rowe, Army officials at Fort Drum, where Rowe was held for a day and a half, seemed uninterested in the case until their phone lines were incinerated by a barrage of calls from listeners who responded to our call to action yesterday morning. It was at that point that officials checked into Rowe's record and immediately confirmed that he had received an honorable discharge and told Rowe he was free to leave, and even offered to pay his way to get back to New York. They were baffled as to why a warrant would be out for his arrest when he had clearly been given permission to leave the Army in 2005. It was Korey Rowe's personal decision to travel on to Fort Campbell Kentucky in an attempt to ensure his name was completely expunged from the system and that such events would not repeat for a third time, with Rowe having been arrested once before under a similar pretext. Rowe was able to board an airplane without being apprehended, as he had been many times before the incident, because there has never been a warrant against his name in the database. Though Korey Rowe puts the arrest down to a probable "administrative error", many in the 9/11 truth movement will be wondering if this was part of a pre-emptive strategy to discredit the upcoming cinematic release of Loose Change Final Cut. The documentary is set to include explosive new interviews that will shake the political spectrum to the core. The nature of the arrest certainly has Army intelligence planning written all over it and we will be certain to share more details upon Korey Rowe's return from Kentucky, which is expected to be in around a week's time.
Even IF he was a deserter, soldiers have been deserting the army in droves, total count is over 3000. None of them are being prosecuted, with the exception of a small number discharged in non-criminal proceedings. Conveniently, it happened within a few days of Sheehan arrest, and another guy whose name is McGovern I think. I don't know who he is but apparently a known anti-war protester. And now that Bush signed order about confiscation of property without a trial, we'll surely have more government attacks on law-abiding Americans in the near future
i Was Just Watching That. How Ironic. some Men Are Well Respected In The Society And Enter Politics, Either Be It In Baghdad, Or Washington, But They Are The Biggest Criminals Of Them All.
No "troofer" thread is complete without a "fascist" comment. Who said he was falsely arrested? alex jones? LMAO! That guy has no credibility. I go on the presumption he is arrested for a reason, not by what alex jones tells me to think. Remember, alex jones also says "there's aids in the corn!" So be sure not to eat any corn tonight
AGS, my personal secretary, following behind me like a good pound puppy, to summarize Get me some coffee and a crumpet
gtech, Oh I forgot you have to hear it on Fox news for it to be the truth. Oh and he showed the arresting officer his honorable discharge papers.... “When they came to my house, I showed them my paperwork,†Rowe said. “The cops said, 'You’re still in the system.'â€
That you forgot something is no surprise. However, Fox is not the enemy here. Just because you let alex jones do your thinking for you doesn't mean everyone else in the world does. Though a few in this thread actually do let alex do their thinking for them Oh, to sucker the gullible and insecure out of their riches!
Of course they never arrested deserter George Bush. Fascist regime indeed. http://www.straightdope.com/columns/030411.html
If you knew for a fact he was in fact arrested for deserting even though he was honorably discharged, would you still say "Hahahah, good for him!" Would you want someone to say that about you, if the same thing happened in your case?
This is a myth. It's long been debunked. GWB released his military records (unlike kerry) and this issue was long ago cleared. You are inquiring to a hypothetical. Would it be ok if we worked with facts? http://www.thedailystar.com/news/stories/2007/07/26/jprowe07253.html I found this one interesting. If someone lies about their service, yet is creating a video based upon lies to try and convince people of something, in a "for profit" manner, should he be believed? Does honesty and integrity account for anything, or do liars get a pass if it's what one wants to hear? http://screwloosechange.blogspot.com/2006/06/korey-rowe-supports-threatening.html Quite interesting that he would lie about his service and still continue to do so. Let's see what he had to say, BEFORE being offered the "BIG BUCKS" to sell out: http://www.thedailystar.com/news/stories/2002/07/23/afghan.html If anything, this simply proves his dishonesty. For all those who let him and dylan avery "think for them," shouldn't those you put your faith in, actually be honest? Do facts matter, or does only the message matter? Perhaps Cyndi Lauper was right? Money Changes Everything?
Not quite, but everyone here can read what I linked to get the real story. Bush and his cronies are far worse than these deserters.
