Wherefore art Thou, FR33agents.net?

It seems that the new Crasher-In-Chief at Bureaucrash.com is not Xaq Fixx, the person that most of us wanted for the job based on his familiarity to Crashers and principled stance.  They have gone with Lee Doren, who seems to be more of a conservative type.

Bureaucrash Social had really been dying since Pete Eyre left and Xaq was sorely needed, in my view, to keep it going and revitalize the site.

Agorists, while in the minority at Bureaucrash Social, were easily the group with the most active discussions.  So let’s start the mass migration to FR33agents.net.  Some kinks still need to be worked out but it seems the most likely successor to Bureaucrash.  I’ll likely be spending more time at Forums of the Libertarian Left, as well.

Any other suggestions?

Note that I am out of town this weekend (like most weekends) and am basing much of my characterization of Mr. Doren on the opinions of principled people I trust like Jason Talley, Chase Camuzzi and Mike Lowry as I have had, and will have, very little internet time until later this evening.

Motorhome Diaries Crew Arrested

All three members of the Motorhome Diaries crew were taken into custody a few hours ago in Mississippi.  Jason Talley, Pete Eyre and Adam Mueller have been traveling around the nation in their recreational vehicle filming a real-time documentary “searching for freedom in America.”

They have yet to find it.

  • Adam Mueller – Disorderly Conduct and Disobeying an Officer
  • Pete Eyre – Possession of a Beer in a Dry County
  • Jason Talley – Disorderly Conduct, Disobeying, and Resisting Arrest

The story can best be followed at FreeKeene.com.  Send money at their Donations page, spread the word and if you know a Mississippi attorney who is not a not-to-be-trusted “backwoods, Southern lawyer” then use your charm on him.

Xaq Fixx for President!

Well, not exactly president but Executive Director/Crasher-in-Chief of Bureaucrash.

As some of y’all may know, both Jason and I formerly worked at Bureaucrash in this capacity. Since my departure on April 1st to pursue Motorhome Diaries a number of friends and movement acquaintances have contacted me asking my thoughts about them applying for the position.

I’ve been straight-up with these folks, both about the nature of the job and in sharing my opinion on whether they’d be a good fit. And though I don’t claim to know of all of those that’ve applied for the gig, I believe that I have a good idea of some of the front-runners — one of whom is Xaq Fixx, whom both Jason and I are throwing our support behind for the following reasons:

  • Xaq is an activist. I have no question that he’ll be a lifelong advocate for liberty ’til the day he dies and this position can’t just be a job.
  • Xaq has the most institutional knowledge of Bureaucrash. He has developed personal relationships with crashers, knows what tactics have worked well and not-so-well, and has a solid grasp of the purpose of Bureaucrash.
  • Xaq has the passion, drive and entrepreneurial mindset needed to head an organization that has very limited resources.
  • Xaq is a networker and is well-liked by those active at Bureaucrash and those in the larger movement, many of whom he’s interacted with due to his role as host of the Podcrash.
  • Xaq is hardcore. Bureaucrash isn’t your run-of-the-mill beltway organization that works to better govenment, but instead it aims to strike the root.

I’m not sure if this post will have any influence on those at the Competitive Enterprise Institute (of which Bureaucrash became a project of a few years ago) as they review applications, but I wanted to voice my support for Xaq as he is my friend and because I believe that he has the skill-set necessary to head Bureaucrash.

If you too agree, then why not let those at CEI know by emailing Cord Blomquist, who is overseeing the application-review process: cblomquist[at]cei[dot]org.

Best of luck buddy!
