In response to a freedom of information request I filed with the FBI in June of 2014, the agency has finally released 44 heavily redacted pages. Why would the FBI have a file on Bucky Fuller? Well, for one thing, he was a counterculture icon with unconventional ideas about resource allocation, environmental conservation, and globalization. And as we know, the FBI has historically been rather uncomfortable with counterculture icons. — paleofuture.gizmodo.com

He must have shot JFK.
It's all so very clear now.
It's Ritalin and the like to blame that we no longer see people like Bucky anymore...
Commenter gramercypolice said this after meeting him, which I think is lovely: ...somebody eager to hear new ideas and consider them in all their aspects, good and bad, and unwilling to accept that things had to be a certain way just because people in power wanted them that way.
never had an architecture license btw.
what non-sense. i want to say the operatives sound essentially clueless, man i hope they are better at understanding humans these days....oh wait that is why they collect information about people - they have no clue..........my main man Bucky! word.
intelligence my ass....
so these agents went home after meeting a freak of nature Genius like Bucky and what did you do?
same shit as you do everyday?
you eat your TV dinners?
drink shitty Lite beer?
yell at your housewife?
mow your lawn on weekends dowsed in gas on your shirts after missing the hole when pouring the gasoline?
have a twinkie with a Coke as a luxury?
get drunk watching college football? glad your Catholic team has an African American running back....because that's how you see the world right? numbers and colors.
tell your kids the world is fucked up and avoid the Communists and Soviets, and Russians in general?
and then turn up Bob Dylan to pretend like you give a fuck?
get nervous because Black and Hispanic families are moving in down the street?
worry about your retirement plan?
concerned a democrat or republican might become one of your state senators?
plan your 2 week vacation to Hawaii to re-hash the only week in your life you lived slightly hedonistic and loved your (house) wife?
think about killing yourself with the locked away American Dream hand gun because your housewife is banging your neighbor?
spend your Sunday's pretending your Priest is saying something important to you; while knowing you look good in your tie and white button shirt? good enough that you might get laid by your housewife as long as you don't insult her cleaning techniques....
tell your kids weed is bad?
tell your kids Hunter s. Thompson is the devil because he rode with the Hells Angels?
approve the letterman jacket player football player to date your daughter...Catcher in the Rye was your life but you pretend this kid won't try to get your daughter drunk and bang her...hey, but he's white, has a letter jacket - he will provide her the housewife life you provide yours...then again you can always get her to abort the unwanted without telling your Catholic friends, you are an agent, you can hide your mistakes....
Tell your kids anyone that cares about their environment, ecology, gives a fuck about them and their children, is a tree hugging hippie who is full of shit....
because to you because Twinkies, Cigarettes, Coke, and Lite Beer will never give you CANCER!
you meet Bucky Fuller and you walk away disappointed, what's wrong with your mind?
