Attorney General Barr Stands athwart History

Shakespeare made famous the phrase "There is a tide in the affairs of men" ("Julius Caesar," Act IV, Scene III), that acknowledges that certain situations gain momentum and become ripe for influencing the future, determining fate. Certainly, we are living in such a time — momentous, unprecedented events are happening that will affect the direction of our nation for the foreseeable future. After all the Sturm und Drang of the impeachment efforts of the Resistance that have divided the country for the last three years, Attorney General William Barr recently gave two speeches that were rhetorical masterpieces. The speeches could not have been given at a more critical juncture in the unfolding crisis, nor could the carefully researched and expertly developed arguments have been more needed, more appropriate. The content of the two speeches form a solid basis of a case against the Resistance. The passion and the masterful rhetoric of the speeches give them the potential for Barr to stand athwart history and determine the direction of the nation for the future.

Throughout history, great speeches have challenged people to rise above self-interest to do what is noble and right. Great speakers have used their positions or their influence to "inspire and unite people during times of struggle"; they have "met moments of great adversity with words both vigorous and poignant, giving voice to the challenges of their time." The "impact on history" of such speakers "will be determined in the future." Reasonable people, reading Barr's carefully constructed arguments for religious freedom and faithful originalists' interpretation of the Constitution, would be compelled and motivated by Barr's words.

All of the crimes of the Kenyanesian Usurpation flowed from Usurpation Day, January 20, 2009

Natural born citizens are NATURALLY citizens because they were born here of citizen parents, have only ONE nationality and cannot possibly be anything else.

All the children of foreign nationals are born with split citizenship, the very condition the founders were excluding.

The problem is that it isn’t possible to punish those responsible for the last crimes of the Kenyanesian Usurpation without addressing the fact that BOTH parties conspired to violate the Constitution.

President Trump is virtually alone in the District of Corruption in not being complicit in the usurpation.

A man lift or bucket truck like the utility company uses will do the job nicely. Some assembly AND equipment is required.
