Only a Chicken Lays Golden Eggs
Once upon a time in the kingdom of political torture a giant monster
proclaims a golden edit. No small morsel can go untaxed; the goliath needs to be feed. No fowl can be allowed to go foul of
the law. The docile chickens must be caged in their coop so that they have no alternative but to egest their excessive bullion
from the bowels of their rump. Yes, Virginia, the giant is coming after your gold. This beast is ready to tear out your innards
to get at your ingots. Thanks to Obamacare reportage of your every day, transactions will mount up to exceed the minimum.
How can a country be sovereign if their government must borrow money to
pay their bills? Worse yet, in order to create money the State must go to the central bank and pay interest for every new
currency that is created out of thin air. The two key elements that explain the absurd foundation of the global debt pyramid
are simple, 1) Fractional Reserve Banking. 2) Legal Tender Laws.
The Disunited States of America is no longer a country of national
union. From the inception of the U.S. Constitution, factions continually vied for power. Yet there was a blueprint of basic
precepts generally accepted as the law of the land. The appearance of legitimacy was shattered a century and half ago, that
foretold the “War of Northern Aggression”. The American Revolution permanently betrayed is but a memory of past
glories. The rule of law now relegated to an exhibit in a wax museum.
Can you say - Jimmy Carter
II? At the risk of insulting the peanut grower, the impostor with suspect naturalization credentials is poised to top the
nightmare of the one term Trilateral Commission buffoon. Barack Hussein Obama’s plantation expertise surpasses the gentleman
planter. Must be natural, coming from the genetic markers that fertilize the fields of human thralldom . . . This Manchurian
Marxist foreigner, trained in the black art of subversion and Orphic worship thinks he is a candidate for elevation to messiah. Never
a sentence is uttered where I, the first-person, singular personal pronoun is not central to the thought.
The public relations
television campaign states that BP now means beyond petroleum no longer appears on air. British Petroleum inescapably and
unremittingly is now linked as the culpable corporate criminal of the greatest man made environmental disaster of all time.
As confusing as the catastrophe seems, no one can reasonably deny the danger the Gulf of Mexico region has already suffered.
The only unanswered aspect is how much more damage will migrate from beyond the drilling blow out.
The Tea Party phenomenon erupted with a spontaneity seldom seen in a laid back political culture. Whatever your perception
or the impression depicted in the media, there is no dispute that Rick Santelli's "rant" on the CME trading floor in Chicago, telecast live by CNBC on Feb. 19, 2009 initiated and tapped into a frustration brewing
under the surface. Not exactly, the shot heard round the world; but more like a St Helens explosion, the economic and a moral
argument rang clear. "This is America!" Santelli declared. "How many of you people want to pay for your neighbor's
mortgage that has an extra bathroom and can't pay their bills?"
"Many seek to become a

an uncommon site for the common man
BATR is a comprehensive view on the human condition. Several sites comprise
this anthology. The emphasis stresses an in-depth analysis of the realpolitik that influences society and the individual.
Ideology matters. In an age where the right and left distinctions are obsolete and misleading, asking the crucial questions
is essential.
Essays written under the
nom de plume, SARTRE are presented on Totalitarian Collectivism, Radical Reactionary, Inherent Autonomy, Global Gulag, View
from the Mount, Strappado Wrack, Dueling Twins and Solitary Purdah. Archives for each series are available from
their respected sites.
Integrity, insight
and intelligence are sorely lacking. BATR attempts to fill a void that is often missing. Content is bold and provocative.
Commentary is the essence of BATR. No subject is off limits, no authority immune from criticism and no power above accountability.
BREAKING ALL THE RULES is genuine "paleo" conservative
populism you can trust.
