Guest Post by Martin Armstrong
Believe it or not, on New Year’s Eve, we still celebrate the ancient Roman religion/myth of Janus, who presided over the beginning and end. So one face looked at the past and the other the coming new year. In fact, January is named after Janus. He also represented the beginning and end of the conflict. In ancient Rome, the Temple of Janus stood in the Roman Forum with doors on both ends and inside was a statue of Janus, who is always represented as the two-faced god. The doors of his temple were open in times of war and closed to mark peace. This represented that things could change politically during a war.
Janus, therefore, represented war and peace. This may be particularly true as the Neocons are determined to usher in World War III. They are scheming to create war BEFORE the election just in case Trump wins overwhelmingly to trap him into a war that he cannot negotiate his way out of. The critical periods in 2024 will be January, April, and July/August 2024.
So when we celebrate New Year’s Eve, we say goodbye to the past and look forward to the future, a concept stemming from Janus. So much of today is traditions extending back thousands of years and terms like your Achilles’ Heel, named after the Greek warrior who died at the battle of Troy. It was said that when he was born, his mother dipped him in a sacred river to protect him but held him by his heel, which the water never touched. He was shot in his heel with an arrow and died. This statue shows him pulling the arrow from his heel as he died.
The Greeks were masters in creating stories handed down through the centuries—even the state of New Jersey in Latin in Nove Caesaria – the land of the new Caesar. Even Christmas Day, December 25th, was the feast day of the ancient sun god – Sol.
Our Republican comes from Rome, and Democracy comes from Athens. Legal Codes go back even before Babylon.
So when we celebrate New Year’s Day, let us hope the doors are slammed shut rather than wide open.

It’s no different than the rest.
If people looked back into history, they would find all kinds of “holidays” are lies.
Christmas was originally Sol Invictus Day.
Valentine’s Day was Lupercalia
Easter was Eostere, a fertility holiday for Ishtar.
Nothing new here with New Years either.
Ironically, you can’t prove ANY of that shit. We all believe exactly what we WANT to believe, and as ye believe, so it will be unto you.
So, go and sin no more…or just go. It’s all the same to me.
He was never gonna save us all and He Knew it.
Who is “he”? Can you prove it?
Of course you can’t, which is also ironic.
Suck on that.
I feel neither the compulsion to prove or suck…the quintessential difference between us.
Odd, that.
“It’s better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt”.
Few on this sight prove this saying more correct than the Scrotomizer.
I have a brother in law exactly like him. Constantly pontificating like an expert on every subject that comes up, ridiculing, shouting down and eventually cursing anyone who doesnt bow in awe to his obvious superiority. All the while never catching on to the fact that everyone sees him as the fool he is.

It may require an additional iteration.
The festivals of Rome are innumerable; but five of the most important may be singled out for
elucidation–viz., Christmas-day, Lady-day, Easter, the Nativity of St. John, and the Feast of the
Assumption. Each and all of these can be proved to be Babylonian. And first, as to the festival in honour
of the birth of Christ, or Christmas. How comes it that that festival was connected with the 25th of
December? There is not a word in the Scriptures about the precise day of His birth, or the time of the
year when He was born. What is recorded there, implies that at what time soever His birth took place, it
could not have been on the 25th of December. At the time that the angel announced His birth to the
shepherds of Bethlehem, they were feeding their flocks by night in the open fields. Now, no doubt, the
climate of Palestine is not so severe as the climate of this country; but even there, though the heat of the
day be considerable, the cold of the night, from December to February, is very piercing, and it was not
the custom for the shepherds of Judea to watch their flocks in the open fields later than about the end of
October. *

It’s always fun poking the Scurrilizer!
F***, it’s history sport.
Easter has nothing to do with Ishtar.
One was English, with various forms in Germanic languages being theorized.
The other is Semitic. They have nothing in common.
Of course the goddess of fertility has nothing to do with Easter paraphernalia like rabbits and eggs.
How y’all successfully tied this to a resurrection myth, I’ll likely never understand.
What spring events aren’t related to fertility or rebirth? There is a Victory-holiday to celebrate the beginning of the warfare-season, is all I can think of.
I’m not a christian so don’t blame me for the zombie stuff.
indeed. Being called Janus is never a compliment.
Being a central puppy felcher taint much better scruball.
The Biden family worships at the Temple of Anus, whose symbol is an asshole facing forwards and an asshole facing backwards.
The assholes? Hunter and Joe
