Janus is an ancient Roman, a composite god who is associated with doorways, beginnings, and transitions. A usually two-faced god, he looks to both the future and the past at the same time, embodying a binary.

Two years ago, also during the month of Janus, I wrote a speculative article on Trump as two faces on the same coin and, specifically, considered the president as the “most interesting man in the world”: an enigmatic “ringleader”, of sorts, who always keeps us guessing between transitional episodes:
And here we are today, two years later, still wondering.
I've been trying to make sense of the COVID 19 operation and what the ultimate goals are.
ReplyDeleteThe Catherine Austin Fitts video I posted earlier posits a plausible theory, but its also worth looking at this hour long interview with Martin Armstrong, which some will take better since it doesn't get into transhumanism and lizard people:

Armstrong also actually understands ancient Roman history, Corsi and Byrne in the video you posted earlier clearly don't, and it undermines their credibility if you have read a bit about the period.
Thanks for the link to the Martin Armstrong interview. You can read some of Armstrong's review of Roman history in the free sample of his $159.00 book: The Cycle of War and the Corona Virus, which is available here (click the "Look Inside" link.
DeleteI wonder why the book is so expensive. Does he want to be sure only oligarchs read it, or what?
Most of the scholarly works out there are prohibitively expensive. Publishers know these works will have a very small market and have to cover their expenses one way or the other. Supply and demand and the way prices are determined by supply and demand.
DeleteUsually these scholars make their thought available in other ways, and these other ways are free. You do.
There is the public dollar out there to pick up the slack. Here and there a public library will shell out the dollar the Publishers require, for a variety of reasons. I think librarians in the public library system continue to value choice and the widest market place of ideas feasible. If no one reads the material, they will "remainder" it, and put it up for pennies on the dollar, in a reject bin. I have acquired the most fantastic media this way. The criteria for rejection is not quality. I'm convinced highest quality is a sure way to become salvage material.
Yes, you are absolutely correct about the economics of scholarly publishing. But I didn't think of Martin Armstrong's book as a scholarly work. Maybe it is, but both the content and style would seem consistent with a decent mass market sale. Certainly, I'd take Martin Armstrong's next book and offer it at a mass market price -- and I'd expect to turn a profit. But who knows. Maybe Armstrong's artificial intelligence system indicates that profit will be maximized at $159.00 per copy.
DeleteBut on reflection, no, Armstrong's book is not suitable for the mass market, because it is outside the political mainstream and, therefore, unacceptable to the giant publishing corporations whose ability to distribute and promote books can make a success of almost any title. Indeed, in its indictment of Soros and Gates and its inexcusable failure to condemn Trump absolutely, the book is entirely outside the ambit of the mass market publishers.
DeleteEven worse, Armstrong declares Covid to be a scam, which it largely is, with, in the UK, only 388 healthy people under the age of 60 having thus far died of Covid19. Admission of this fact is absolutely unacceptable to the book publishing branch of the MSM.
DeleteHowever, Covid19 seems clearly to be deadly to those already nearly dead, and thus seems destined to reduce life expectancies by small but significant amount as we predicted at the outset of the epidemic.
DeleteIn economic terms this effect will be quite important, since maintaining the elderly during the last several years of their lives is hugely expensive. Yes, Covid19 may well prove to be the savior of Britain's grotesque, 1.3-million-employee National Health Service.
