“I armed myself, and, taking two long spears in my hands, I went up to the forepart of the ship, where I suspected Scylla would show herself first, that grim horror of the sea...” A.T.Murray Translation, Stanford, 1919
First, let’s hold battle counsel mid-ships and sharpen our metal while heart and courage burn strong.
With your two spears, you can confront the Hydra in Washington, as our ancestor Odysseus did:
With his shoulder-companions, he sailed the strait between many-headed Scylla and the monstrous whirlpool Charybdis.
There, in the boiling waters of the Mediterranean, our cunning hero did not shrink, but stood firm in a sea of horrors.
So too can you, with your first spear of wisdom born of knowledge, and your second spear, which is cunning.
Odysseus had a warning from the goddess Circe about the dangers ahead. Today, we call that intel, insider knowledge, or first-hand sources.
I’m listing some solid intel below. It’s not divine but you might turn it into wisdom.
Cunning, you will have to learn and develop, if it is not yet in your arsenal.
The forces we contend with are dark and ultimately supernatural, as were those that Odysseus and his crew confronted. More on that later. And on how to protect yourself.
First, in the material world, Stable Coin/CBDCs, Digital IDs, and Vaccine Mandates are all intertwined. When you get one, you of necessity get all the others.
Understanding that is the first step towards protecting your wealth and health here and now.
