Who Watches The Watchmen? Every year hundreds of reports of police brutality are filed across the country, police and bureaucrats often act as if they are above the law. When someone tries to question their actions it comes down to your word against theirs, it's time to put a stop to that. It's time to arm ourselves, grab your camera: it's time to SHOOT BACK!
Future battles will be tough. The enemy is highly financed and organized. The government funds their propaganda by taxing the people we are attempting to free. Statist organizations are at an advantage because they don't let the truth get in the way of their expansionist agenda and have little regard for property rights.
We have our own advantages because, unlike the slow bureaucracy, we can move with speed and agility to clog popular culture with pro-freedom / anti-statism statistics, symbols, slogans and images. Crashers answer to no one except their own conscience.
Bureaucrash is dedicated to the idea of creative activism that makes others question their assumptions on political and social issues. The tools for fighting the information war can take almost any form.
The Ministry of Operations's job is to assist you in fighting this information war and to ensure that you are well armed. Whether you are involved as a solo activist or a member of a cell group we are here to help you.
The campaign is essential to Bureaucrash's information war. Campaigns are educational, and designed to expose the ideas of liberty to as many minds as possible. They are focused on issues. Check out the descriptions of our campaigns. You are encouraged to volunteer to work on a campaign, or even for a position as Campaign Czar.
Bureaucrash HQ and members of the network are constantly at work producing propaganda. We take the sometimes complicated reasons why large governments and bloated bureaucracies are dangerous and condense them into slogans, images and quick statistics. We call these little packets of information ‘memes.
These memes come in a lot of different forms. Sometimes they are in bits of text. Sometimes they are on flyers or full color posters. Sometimes they are on e-cards or t-shirts. Sometimes they are centered on whole campaign websites. They can even be in the lyrics of a song. Every time we produce an item with a meme on it, we include a web address (usually leading right back here to Bureaucrash.com).
People interested in the meme can learn more about the ideas behind it online. They also can join Bureaucrash if they agree with our ideas, download more resources with memes and continue to spread the meme.
Every time you do even a tiny bit of work to put a meme out there, you are not simply spreading an idea. You are also recruiting more people to spread the ideas even further.
This domino effect is at the heart of what is sometimes called guerilla activism. A tiny number of scattered people, can change the world because every action they take has the potential to spread to a whole chain of people.
The Bureaucrash network exists to make this possible. read more »
The Crashys are Bureaucrash's very own awards series. I'm the Crashys Czar so I will post the winners in those three categories weekly and HQ will post a Crasher and Cell of the Month. At the end of the year, we'll narrow the fields down to the final nominees in each category. Then crashers can vote for the annual winners.
If you'd like to explicitely nominate anyone for the weekly honors, please do so as a reply to that week's winner announcement. Or, just keep posting all of the news and opinions that make this site great. I'll be scouring Bureaucrash all week for deserving winners. Here is the schedule:
Monday: Bureaucrat of the Week Tuesday: Bureaucracy of the Week Wednesday: Statist of the Week Thursday: Honorary Crasher of the Week
Plus we'll be announcing the Crasher & Cell of the month at the end of the month!
I'm Lacy, a.k.a., VoteRando, your Minister of Propaganda. I'm here to help crashers with anything that they may need to promote Bureaucrash and spread our message of freedom and liberty. If you need anything, please feel free to drop me a line at propaganda@bureaucrash.com, send me a private message, or start a thread in the Propaganda forum. Oh, and of course, don't forget to join the Ministry of Propaganda cell group, where you can post blog entries with new ideas and suggestions! Please check back here for updates, and be sure to check out all the awesome propaganda! Have fun, happy crashing, and don't forget to get those creative juices going!!
I feel it necessary to write a little about myself, but not much. I am the new Minister of Intel, and it is my job and desire to "dig up the dirt" on the statist and their comrades in order to pass my intel on to everyone else, including those in charge of ops. With the information I gain, I hope to be of service to everyone else here at Bureaucrash, and, if any one of you knows of an individual who needs to be thoroughly researched for current wrong-doings, please, send me a message so that I might get right upon it. Posting on the Intel forum is also a good idea and a better way to network. Unfortunately, I will be able to perform more work in January than now, as my location will be better. Regardless, let me know where I can help, everyone, and I will do my best. read more »
We believe that individuals are sovereign and own their own bodies.
We believe that every person has a right to make decisions about his or her own life, as long as those decisions do not directly harm other people.
We believe that no person has a right to use force against another person – to steal what they have earned or threaten their body or property.
We believe that when a government makes a new rule, it threatens to use force against someone (or everyone).
We believe that when bureaucrats and politicians have the power to make arbitrary rules, they steal our choices.
Therefore, we believe that if governments are to exist they should be small and just have the power to protect us from force and fraud.
Because we believe that any other arrangement breeds corruption and gives other people (bureaucrats) power over us. Any other arrangement makes us all slaves to the bureaucrats.

The Enjoy Capitalism campaign is devoted to promoting, defending, and celebrating the ideals of capitalism. Many shun capitalism as a system of greed and injustice. There is much empirical evidence proving that capitalism is actually a machine that generates peace, better living standards, and human freedom. Bottom line: capitalism heals; socialism kills.

This campaign poses the question 'are your politics hurting someone' to a generation steeped in so-called progressive political beliefs. State actions hurt people. In efforts to aid some individuals, policies often end up harming many others. The power invested in the bureaucratic state has unintended consequences. These hidden effects, veiled from public eye and political discussion, must be brought to light. And they must be brought to light in terms of the victims of politics. More here » | Join here »

Designed in order to keep track and make the citizenry aware of domestic infringement of rights in the name of security. This campaign keeps a close eye on legislation such as the Patriot Act, and bureaucratic departments such as Homeland Security. Are violations of civil liberties the best answer to those that want to destroy the American way of life? This campaign stands up for security of the homeland while rejecting any policies that undermine our fundamental rights. read more »

Food crisis? What food crisis?
The EU forced a producer of kiwis to dispose of 5,000 kiwi fruits for being 1mm smaller than the allowable size set by regulators. He has been banned from even giving them away - they must be pulped and disposed of.
