Thought on JA and Gore Vidal book.
Gore Vidal wrote Julian
In Julian, Vidal recreates the imperial world of Julian the Apostate
Julian the Apostate was Roman emperor who used general religious toleration to re-establish pagan polytheism to counter the political subversion of Christian monotheism.

>[Julian the Apostate's] rejection of Christianity, and his promotion of Neoplatonic Hellenism in [Christianity's] place, caused him to be remembered as Julian the Apostate by the church.

Apostate: (sociologically) not just a person who experienced a dramatic change in conviction but "a man who, even in his new state of belief, is spiritually living not primarily in the content of that faith, in the pursuit of goals appropriate to it, but only in the struggle against the old faith and for the sake of its negation."
It is possible that JA is signaling that, while he might not be completely onboard with "the plan", he is participating for the purpose of ending globalism / surveillance state / NWO because that is his agenda/goal.
