More Martian Moon Mysteries

I research exhaustively each and every topic I write about on this here blog.  (Translation:  sometimes I take the trouble of spending the ten seconds it takes to Google stuff.)  As part of my efforts to find The Secret of the Martian Moons, I searched Amazon.com to see what they had.  Oh, my.  Those words "secret" and "martian" seem to work a kind of magical evocation of some of the odder spirits on the internet.

What makes this search even more intriging is the teasing excerpts they are giving you now, right out of the text of the books.  They are fragmentary and serve to render the books even more unhinged in appearance (if that were possible).  They make for a kind of wacky poetry.

Let's start with a mouthfull:  Nothing in This Book Is True, but It's Exactly How Things Are: The Esoteric Meaning of the Monuments on Mars.  By using the more respectable term "monuments" the author avoids letting you know that he's another "face on Mars" kook.  Read the reviews, which include heartbreaking pleas from the disillusioned.  Here's the excerpt from my search:
"... had with each other. There are also complexes on the moon, ancient Egyptian as well as present-day secret government complexes. We have three ... carry it out. When the Martian atmosphere was on the brink of destruction, the Martians (the ..."
Ooooo, such a tease.  Our second text of the day is The Ancient Secret of the Flower of Life: Volume 2.  The official book description seems tame:
The sacred Flower of Life pattern, the primary geometric generator of all physical form, is explored in even more depth in this volume, the second half of the Flower of Life workshop. The proportions of the human body, the nuances of human consciousness, the sizes and distances of the stars, planets and moons, even the creations of humankind, are all shown to reflect their origins in this beautiful and divine image. Through an intricate and detailed geometrical mapping, Drunvalo Melchizedek shows how the seemingly simple design of the Flower of Life contains the genesis of our entire third-dimensional existence.
but by employing the esoteric wisdom of Amazon Search Results, we attain to a higher understanding of the author's beliefs:
"... probably as impossible as the idea of going to the Moon would have been to people ... of Mer-Ka-Ba knowledge by the Martians [page 98ffj, the dimensional worlds ... right- 422 * THE ANCIENT SECRET OF THE FLOWER OF LIFE ..."
Finally, what more urgent task have we in this election year than to unravel The Secret Architecture of Our Nation's Capital:  The Masons and the Building of Washington, D.C.  The excerpt adds little to what we can guess this book is going to tell us, yet it has a certain poetry to it.  I may just set it to music some day:
"... year) that Mars had two satellites. The inner of these moons moved around its parent body almost three times in a Martian day. The satellites were named ... with reference to a The Secret Architecture o/' Our Nation's Capital 27 passage in Homer's Iliad ..."
