"In honor of the release of the long-delayed 'Red Dawn' remake, Buck The System is proud to present a new, leaner cut of 'One Man's Terrorist' that presents the film as one complete story instead of 3 episodes. 'One Man's Terrorist' is an anti-war short film written and directed by David Kirk West and loosely inspired by events that changed his beliefs on war and government while he was in the military."

"40-year-old Orlando, Florida resident Anthony Brasfield was with his girlfriend in the parking lot of a motel when he released a handful of helium-filled, heart-shaped balloons into the air. A Florida Highway Patrol Trooper saw this and arrested Brasfield for violating the Florida Air and Water Pollution Control Act –a third-degree felony punishable by a prison term of up to five years. On February 23, Lendsey and Delilha Harbin, a married couple from Portage, Indiana, paid for a ticket to see the new action film 'Snitch' and then, after it ended, decided to switch theaters and catch the zombie movie 'Warm Bodies.' They were charged with felony theft." Continue reading →
"The video showing Philadelphia Police Lt. Jonathan Josey punching a woman was overwhelming enough for his department to quickly fire him last year. But it wasn’t enough for a judge to find him guilty of simple assault this week. Now we’re learning that Municipal Judge Patrick Dugan is married to a longtime Philadelphia police officer who just happened to be one of about 100 officers in court showing their support for Josey during his non-jury trial earlier this month."

"In the clip below, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie tells a little girl that the fun thing about being Governor is that the lanes into the tunnels into New York City are cleared for him and that he doesn't have to wait in line. I once heard Fed chairman Bernanke give a similar answer. When asked what he liked about being Fed chairman, he said it was not having to go through TSA screening." Continue reading →
"What happens when the Federal Reserve promises to create $1 trillion in fiat money per year, and then starts by buying long-term Treasury bonds and Fannie/Freddie bonds? Interest rates go up. Wait a minute. Weren’t interest rates supposed to go down? Yes, they were. That is what Keynesian economics teaches. Problem: Keynesian economics is wrong. But Bernanke and the FED will move forward, inflating on a scale undreamed of prior to 2008. That is the only trick it has up its collective sleeve. 'When in doubt, inflate.' That is alpha and omega. That is the law and the prophets. Lock in that mortgage rate." Continue reading →
"So, you think you are going to have long-term care if you need it. You have paid premiums for years. The joke’s on you! The company can get you off its books easily. It just doubles the premium. You go away. Tough luck, sucker!" Continue reading →
"In a huge win for the Bill of Rights, the Montana House of Representatives overwhelmingly approved a bill to ban indefinite detention in Montana by a vote of 97 to 1. Introduced by state Rep. Nicholas Schwaderer, HB 522 would also 'prohibit state cooperation with federal officials' who try to enforce the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). The lone no vote was cast by Democrat Bob Mehlhoff. HB 522 previously passed the House Judiciary Committeeunanimously. The bill now heads to the state senate for approval." Continue reading →
"Hunters across Louisiana are outraged after state health officials ordered a rescue mission to destroy $8,000 worth of deer meat because venison is not allowed to be served in homeless shelters. The Dept. of Health and Hospitals ordered the staff at the Shreveport-Bossier Rescue Mission to throw 1,600 pounds of donated venison in garbage bins – and then ordered then to douse the meat with Clorox – so other animals would not eat the meat."

"I am getting more and more confirmation from unrelated sources that the Obama 3.8% tax on unearned income cannot be offset by the Foreign Tax Credits of U.S. citizens abroad. To put it simply: U.S. citizens abroad, who via taxation in their country of residence, pay for health care in their country of residence, are now required to pay for health care for U.S. residents. Oh well: I guess that’s consistent with the definition of citizenship that Obama gave in his State of the Union address. U.S. citizens abroad must accept their obligations to those remaining inside the U.S." Continue reading →
"I’ve just left the Liberty Forum in New Hampshire as the proud owner of three types of nonpaper, nongovernmental monies. They operate in competition with the government’s dollar. Yes, these include Bitcoin, the mind-blowing digital currency that has techno-geeks, edgy global traders, and even the World Bank buzzing about its potential to finally separate money from the state. Why are people working on alternative forms of money? It’s all about escaping a 100-year-old trend. Depression, war, and deliberate debasement have left us with a dollar that is a mere shadow of its former self." Continue reading →
