So Mr. Global would have us believe Dante’s inscription at the entrance to Hell:

“Abandon hope all ye who enter here”.

Mr. Global has siphoned off the wealth of this nation for his own selfish interest through state protected monopolies, bank bailouts, QE to Infinity and secret trade agreements; and has conspired against the rightful owners of individual rights guaranteed by this nation’s founding documents, rendering these documents powerless by repeated abuse and desecration without fear of penalty. Further, he has gained control of the levers of power at the Pentagon and the U.S. State Department and rendered the Department of Justice one of selective enforcement, contorted to his will. He has rendered the U.S. Congress impotent and has elevated his proxies to the White House to be his personal executioners and totalitarian dictators. He has focused his media not only to entertain and inform but to socially engineer the masses to love his tyranny. He has written a false history of all he has done in the name of democracy, individual freedom and liberty; whose real goal is the total subjugation of the individual to the state he controls.

So is it time to abandon all hope and enter hell?

Today as yesterday there is a great battle. This is the battle between the few who would enslave the many. This struggle began when history began and has continued to the present era. We read about it in our oldest books, and we are incredulous at man’s inhumanity to man; yet today not much has changed. Millions of innocents have been brutally slaughtered to feed the avarice of those few who are in a position to control world events. This is the human condition.

So shall we abandon all hope as we enter Mr. Global’s inferno?

Not all those who have gone before us have abandoned their hope or their dignity. Many have chosen to stand up rather than cower in the corner like a beaten dog. Some of us have chosen rather to engage in the good fight. We can take a few lessons from George Washington in his apparently hopeless battle against the overwhelming tyranny of the British Crown and we can even gain some insight and courage from King Leonidas and Stelios in the fictionalized retellings of the Battle of Thermopylae which took place between Greece and Persia (modern day Iran) in the film 300:

Stelios: It’s not yours any more. Go now, run along and tell your Xerxes that he faces free men here, not slaves. Do it quickly, before we decide to make our wall just a little bit bigger.
Xerxes: There will be no glory in your sacrifice. I will erase even the memory of Sparta from the histories. Every piece of Greek parchment shall be burned, and every Greek historian and every scribe shall have their eyes put out and their tongues cut from their mouths! Why, uttering the very name of Sparta or Leonidas will be punishable by death! The world will never know you existed at all!
Leonidas: The world will know that free men stood against a tyrant, that few stood against many and, before this battle is over, that even a god-king can bleed.

Though our Xerxes (Mr. Global) has more advanced armies and more clever technologies to wield against those of us he would enslave, our battle is different than Leonidas’ in an important way. How? The Battle of Thermopylae was fought by will and bravery, and by the divine spirit of a free man; but its outcome was decided by flesh and steal against flesh and steal. Our war will require a strong will and bravery, yet will be decided by information not steal; and like Xerxes, our would-be king whom I call Mr. Global can bleed too; and in fact he is bleeding right now; which explains the hurry he finds himself in to implement his agenda. You can see it everywhere. Will he win? Well, it is up to us. We are winning on almost every information front like never before. The word is getting out. More and more are discovering who exactly Mr. Global is and what his plans are for the rest of us; and there are not one or two but many who have realized that the history Mr. Global has enshrined in our schools, universities and media, is rubbish to cover his tracks. There have been many brilliant men who have laid the ground work for all of us to see clearly Mr. Global; and to recognize that he is the scared man behind the curtain; that he has no clothes and that his only power is secured by our belief in his power. There are many today –me included– who are willing to stand up, to sacrifice and face this treachery. This timeless battle for individual freedom playing out on the world stage today is unlike any before. We have a clue. We know who Mr. Global is; we know how his battle plan plays out; and we have learned to recognize his lies when we see them. Those before us were not as fortunate as we are today because today information on Mr. Global has been spread from here to there for anyone to see. So I say, let us engage the battle with confidence, courage, dignity and vigor as we fight the good fight to win.

Shall we pass into the city of woe? I say no.

Note: Divine comedy – hell From Dante’s Divine Comedy. The 1814 translation into English by the Reverend H. F. Cary is the origin for this phrase in English, although he gave it as the less commonly used

‘All hope abandon ye who enter here’.

Through me you pass into the city of woe:
Through me you pass into eternal pain:
Through me among the people lost for aye.

Justice the founder of my fabric mov’d:
To rear me was the task of power divine,
Supremest wisdom, and primeval love.

Before me things create were none, save things
Eternal, and eternal I endure.
All hope abandon ye who enter here.

Such characters in colour dim I mark’d
Over a portal’s lofty arch inscrib’d:
Whereat I thus: Master, these words import.

Dante Alighieri wrote this allegorical epic poem between 1306 and 1321. Virgil is the guide who takes the reader through the author’s examination of the afterlife, which travels through the Inferno (Hell), the Purgatorio (Purgatory), and the Paradiso (Heaven).
