Crasher LJ Reports:
I'm just on my way home from the Ukraine, where, Andrey Ilianarov, Putin's former economic advisor, a libertarian, held up his Bureaucrash "Enjoy Capitalism" shirt as a prop in a lecture to some 100 FSU-country students Cato gathered there for a conference.
Bureaucrash HQ is currently on the road "Crashing Across America" and will update bureaucrash.com with constantly updated blogs, photos and video from the road daily. Enjoy the trip! read more »
Update - Here's the video:
I have some exciting news. As I'm typing this Crasher HayekFan is driving well above the speed limits from Alabama to Washington, DC. He'll pick me up where we'll head to Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, Earth to listen to our pal Lindy rock the doors off of The Starlight with his band Major Maker. That's on Thursday and we'll meet up with Xaq, Erin and Janet to complete the Crash Across America team (more on this in a bit). On Friday we help our other pal Peter set up the Liberty Summer Seminar on the beautiful Jaworski estate in the small town of Orono. Saturday & Sunday we'll hang out with over 60 Canadian libertarians (that's probably all of them) listening to exciting speakers and eating delicious food while washing it down with lots of beer.
On Monday we'll officially kickstart Crash Across America '07. Full details here but a note to our awesome readers (that's you). The bureaucrash.com homepage will be chock full of Crash Across America related blogs, videos, photos and we hope to update it often (depending on access to WI-FI on the road). If you want the content that you know and love you can find headlines here.
Otherwise, buckle up (or not) and get ready to Crash Across America!
Freedom is not a concept in which people can do anything they want, be anything they can be. Freedom is about authority. Freedom is about the willingness of every single human being to cede to lawful authority a great deal of discretion about what you do.

Bureaucrash, an international activist group based in Washington D.C., along with members of the Americans for Prosperity, and the Moving Picture Institute showed up at a D.C. premiere carrying signs saying, "Socialism Kills," and "Guaranteed health care is a Guaranteed Failure.
Entire article here.
More on the Sicko Crash here including photos and video.
Free-Market advocates from Americans for Prosperity and the Moving Picture Institute joined forces with Bureaucrash to protest the DC movie premier. The VIP list that walked the red carpet was a who's who od statism. Dennis Kucinich, Maxine Waters and of course, Michael Moore were there to support transferring more money and freedom from you to Washington DC. There was even a special guest: Fidel Castro! Too bad he wasn't allowed inside the theater. Instead he lauded the virtues of mandatory universal health care: waiting lists, lack of proper treatments and filthy hospitals.
Our merry band of activists were there telling passerbys that "SOCIALISM KILLS" and that "GUARANTEED HEALTHCARE [is a] GUARANTEED FAILURE." Michael Moore asked a reporter what we were protesting and was told "that you're a socialist." Indeed.

When we talk about the standard here we all know that bringing dishonor on this house is a standard that all of us attempt to meet.

Here is a wonderful story of a Polish man who just woke up from a 19 year coma to discover that he is no longer enslaved to a communist government. I'll let the AP tell you the rest of this heartwarming story:
"He was so amazed to see the colorful streets, the goods," she said. "He says the world is prettier now" than it was 19 years ago, when Poland was still under communist rule."I could not talk or do anything, now it's much better," Jan Grzebski, 65, told in TVN24 Television in a weak but clear voice, lying in bed at his home in the northern city of Dzialdowo."I wake up at 7 a.m. and I watch TV," he said, smiling slightly.Wojciech Pstragowski, a rehabilitation specialist, said Grzebski was shocked at the changes in Poland - especially its stores: "He remembered shelves filled with mustard and vinegar only" under communism. Poland shed communism in 1989 and has developed democracy and a market economy.

Approximately 35 crashers showed up on the steps of the Supreme Court in Washington D.C. to protest the recent Kelo decision denied people a right to their own property. Crashers sang parody songs, dressed up like the Supreme Reapers (a cross between the grim reaper and Supreme Court Justices), Someone made a house for the purpose of street theater and the night before activists had a sign making party. The network worked just as it should but unfortunately our protest was stopped half way through when the Capitol was evacuated due to a wayward airplane.
Join Bureaucrash on an international odyssey from beautiful Orono, Ontario (home of the the Liberty Summer Seminar) to the bowels of bureaucracy in Washington, DC. There will be a crew of five crashers (JA$ON, MisesFan, Janet, Erin and Xaq Fixx.) who will be talking to people and reporting on places via blogs, photos and video diaries. Some of the events along the way will include crashing statism (duh), breaking at least one dumb law in every state, visiting liberty landmarks, meeting / picking up crashers along the way, Major Maker concerts and lots of singing to the radio. We will have daily video updates posted on this map so people can follow our zany misadventures.
