Rev. Bud Green Claims ‘New Pot Party’ Planted Mysterious Brooklyn Bridge Flags

A man who goes by the name of Rev. Bud Green
is taking
responsibility for the mysterious white flags that arrived atop
the Brooklyn Bridge last week. The stunt resulted in typical

overreaction from the New York Police Department (NYPD), which
announced soon thereafter that it was implementing “increased
security measures on the Brooklyn Bridge… and other key
facilities.”

Now Rev. Bud Green is claiming his “New Pot Party” is
behind the flags. In an interview with the Daily
News, Green
said “it was interesting that nobody knew what to make of
it. It was interesting that people took it as a terror risk. We
believe in nonviolent civil disobedience.”

The Reverend first took credit for the flags on his
blog: 

Hello my fellow herb worshippers and revolutionaries. I can
finally reveal that it was members of the New Pot Party that put up
the bleached White Flags in NY that the whole country is talking
about. The Flags symbolize the need for the new Pledge of No
Allegiance that the Rev. Bud Green and the Pot Party revealed to
the Public on the Fourth of July. On the night of July 22, brave
members of the Pot Party and supporters of my candidacy for Prez in
2016 courageously climbed up and put up the new bleached flags.

The original plan was then to replace the bleached flags with 2
new flags but the fascist police prevented us from doing it with
their constant surveillance. The 2 new flags were gonna be the Pot
Party flag which is a marijuana leaf with the revolutionary slogan
Don’t Tread on Me to symbolize the beginning of a new American
Revolution to be led by Pot Party Supporters. 

The post goes on to bash “the Republicratic party,” “the united
corporations of America,” the military industrial complex, “the
evil one percent,” the “right wing dictatorship,” and rich pigs
before concluding, “Put that it in your pipe and smoke it Fox
News.” 

According to
CBS New York, the NYPD said there was absolutely no truth to
Green’s claim.
