 If we stand, move, and work together on this, we can help “The Shell Game” break all sales records, and FORCE corporate media to cover it.  They cannot ignore a New York Times #1 best selling novel.  How could we not want millions of new eyes and ears coming to view 9/11 truth research, documentaries, and being exposed to 9/11 truth activist organizations? 

 If it is indeed 9/11 truth we want on a massive scale . . . then “The Shell Game,” by NY Times best selling author Steve Alten, is the gift of the decade.



 
Let’s spread this website below throughout the internet, as wide and far as possible.

 
http://www.theshellgame.net/

 Do everything you can in the next 60 days to post, blog, encourage everyone to not only READ “The Shell Game,” but to buy multiple copies and send it to all their friends and relatives who’ve sluffed us off when we’ve tried to show them 9/11 truth information.

 
When those friends and relatives read this great action fiction novel, peppered with REAL 9/11 truth research quotes used as chapter heads . . . when you go back to them and talk about 9/11 truth . . . they will have new ears and new eyes to see what you’ve tried to show them for so long.  OR you can simply refer them to "The Shell Game" website referred to here.

 
AND while you educate them in a way they can handle . . . you’ll be helping this novel rocket to the top of the sales charts.  Since 9/11 truth groups have begun informing their members to get this 9/11 truth action edu-tainment work . . . it has rocketed to nearly the top of amazon sales rankings . . . and this is BEFORE IT’S RELEASE !!!

 
This is not a dream, my friends in truth, this is a gift to us all.  For ALL of us who’ve suffered the agony of standing on street corners and being insulted for trying to get people to look at 9/11 truths, our struggle it about to get a super charged boost of support.  In the next 60 days we can work toward something that can help us all change the history of our nation and the world.

 
Take a few minutes to view the new website of “The Shell Game,” and click on the VERY prominent “911 Links” to see that this is for real.  THEN do everything in your power in the next 60 days to help this work break every sales record in history, and bring the most eyes we can to 9/11 truth!  A little hard concentrated work RIGHT NOW, can save us years of agonizing struggle down the road.

 
http://www.theshellgame.net/

 **************************************

 
We, the undersigned, urge everyone seeking truth, peace and justice, to not only purchase this new novel, "The Shell Game," but also to email out this appeal to all you know who seek truth, peace and justice in the form of 9/11 truth coming out.  In turn, please urge them to do the same with all their contacts and urge them to do the same.  We can break 9/11 truth open if we work together and focus on this project for the next 30 days.

 
Yours in 9/11 truth, peace and justice,

For real...?

"Steve Alten... sent an appeal to his many thousands of devoted fans. He offered to make the ones who showed the most inventiveness in spreading a promotional website for 'The Shell Game,' characters in his upcoming novels."

Oh, goody!!! C'mon now, and good night nurse!?! Do I get a free Slurpee with this deal too? The Slurpee would seal the deal for me - cherry ideally.

This is almost as bad as Mr. Gage's "Take an Engineer to Lunch" scheme. I can but only shake my head in disbelief at this one.  There's advertising and then there's advertising - Truther style.

Yeah, I know Murph. You want everyone to believe Bush's 9/1

Yeah, I know Murph.  You want everyone to believe Bush's 9/11 myth so badly, that innovative projects to get truth out make your skin crawl.

If the US media did it's job and interviewed 9/11 truth researchers, and aired debates between 9/11 truth researchers and other engineering and military experts who defend the official 9/11 story . . .

Oh, wait . . . that's right.  THERE ARE NO EXPERTS WHO ARE WILLING TO DEFEND THE OFFICIAL STORY . . . only snide trolls like Murph who try to distract people from examining the fatally flawed official 9/11 myth.

The truth is coming out my friends.  Over 1/3 of Americans know the US govt., at least some rogue elements within it had a hand in allowing or more likely making 9/11 happen.

Murph and his crowd are growing very uneasy, because they don't like real facts exposed to masses of people.  But for those of us who love our country and don't want our soldiers USED in wars based on lies . . . well we LOVE to hear about innovative projects to spread truth around the seamy edges of our sold out corporate media.

 TRUTH OUTS!!  IT'S A LAW OF NATURE !!  Sorry Murph.

this is not a candy ass debate

Indeed we shall, Mr. Murphy.  Indeed we shall.  Why is GODS name you want to bury the day our country lost its soul, is subject for speculation.  In any event, your thumbs going to get worn out by trying to plug the dike blocking the inevitable tsunami. It's beyond meaninglessness to think this is a "debate".

You're right; it isn't a debate

Mr. Epler, you do realize that the only folks that are "debating" the events of 9/11 are the 911Truthers?  And even among the Truthers now, there are sub-debates occurring.  Everyone else is "OK" and have accepted what transpired on 9/11 and moved on - so to speak.

As to whether or not it's a "candy ass" debate, I suspect that only a Truther could confirm that assertion - because they are the only one's debating the issue.

A welcomed vision, no doubt, for some...

Ms. Roberts, I'm not very good at "what if" games.  However, I do wonder why after six years have passed since the deed of the "inside job" was done I have not seen President Bush and/or others in the government (aka the original conspiracists) arrested and charged with (among other things) the murder of 3,000 Americans. 

How much time does the Movement need to prove that which never was?  Six, ten, twenty years?  Honestly, at some point there should be a realization (ideally a collective realization and not just individual Truthers) that either (1) it never happened the way you've been sold/told or (2) none of the several tens of thousands of participants are going to come forward and reveal the conspiracy.

Yes, yes - I know there's a (3) the government will ensure that the "truth" is never revealed and the perpetrators never brought to justice.  But you know that only the smallest minority of Americans - the hardcore Truthers - will use (3) or a derivative of it.  Where no real "new" information has been revealed in the last couple of years (although there'll be tons of open-ended questions once NIST released the long-awaited WTC 7 report), the Movement should be evaluating an "exit strategy" soon so as to save face.

Of course, this is only my humble opinion sans "what ifs".

Novel Characters

Careful, Mr. Murphy, you might end up a character in my next novel, which will be about trolls. (I figure it will do for trolls what Shrek did for ogres.)


Seriously, the people who are working to expose monstrous crimes, end wars, and regain lost liberties--people like Alten and his promoters--are having their deeds recorded in digital memory. So are the trolls who are covering up high treason, mass murder and incitement to genocide.  

In occupied France, there was no internet to record who was a collaborator and who was helping the resistance. After the war, there was a lot of collective amnesia. But after America's great 9/11 infowar, it's all going to be right out in the open. When your grandchild asks "What did you do after the neocons blew up the World Trade Center, grandpa?" you won't be able to take refuge in comforting lies, because the answer will be a mouse-click away. 

So be careful, trolls...this will go down on your permanent record.

Novel yet not necessarily unique

Hey, now!  Trolls are people too!  If the future novel is sold for movie rights and includes me as the troll, I'd like someone like a John Malkovich to play me! 

Also, I'd appreciate a line like Cyrus (The Virus) Grissom's in the movie "Con Air" where he says to the group of cons while holding a 9 mm to the stuffed bunny's head, "Make a move and the bunny gets it." - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118880/quotes .

Provocation. Big word. 

I'm more moved by, more frightened or disposed by the reflection of MSM reports which this entry represents than by the provocations, the possible attempts at another FFO ...than anything else. I mentioned this somewhere else today.........

Truth is

Truth is, or it is not.  To belittle information that points toward our 'leaders' just because it is about people we are conditioned to believe in is to me rather myopic.  Perhaps in this time of change the scales will at last fall off our eyes and we will collectively begin to seek truth.  Some things are self evident, like our country runs schools to teach torture to forigners and the CIA is a criminal organisation.  Those are easy ones to gain information about, why not start there?  Of course there is the small matter of actually being able to bring the perps to accountablitiy.  I have no idea how the people who run this country can ever be brought to a place of justice and delt with.

Of course you are correct.

Denying 9/11 is silly at this point. The whole picture is coalescing. All you have to do is study the geopolitics and include organizations that are the players in making many things happen. The names are known to most. 


Oh, and you might include understanding the NRO, STRATCOM and their associated ilk. Information control and military/population control procedures. And those are just two of many. 

Then take the analysis towards the understanding that the system of control permeates all levels of society... though it can be oblique .... and most have no clue that they are part of it. They have simply been completely psyop'd into believing what what proferred to them at the event of 9/11. 

At least 'parts' of the CIA are corrupted. Like most government organizations it is populated predominantly by workers who are simply everyday Americans doing their jobs. With some among them who are not. Or, at least not doing 'American' jobs..... 

Sibel Edmond's revelations certainly puts that in perspective.

"9/11 Truth Cynics Step Aside!! ANY DOUBTS About "The Shell"

The whole world knows the truth, that The Neoncons ,Cia,Mosad. are the perpe-traitors of 911

Americans will be last  to know it

Most americans are  too busy waving the flag to notice anything else .

But the truth will come out probably when  the evidence  is declassified.

but  it will come out.

Iraq on the other hand ,if the truth comes out about Iraq Americans will be arming for  a revolution .

100 thousand  plus dead Americans

200 thousand plus crippled for life americans 

1.3 million dead Iraq civilians

nuclear bombs used

thousands of tons of depleted Uranium  munitions  contaminate  Iraq and the American troops.

 A halocaust worse than the one from ww2. 

How does a christian  people  explain this attack on a third world nation that did not attack America or wish Americans harm.Using ww3 tactics on a third world nation  that is defenseless

While the christians of the world condemn these actions ,how do  american christians not call for tribunals in La Hague ,along with the christians of the rest of the world.

Why are America's  christians playing  blind deaf and dumb

Where are the American christians that  speak  on behalf of humanity.

They are the very ones that voted Bush into power and back him.

Are  they so concerned with monetary  issues ,afraid to be cut off from the Govt.  funds.

Is  that  what Jesus preached in your religion.

Sounds like it is the same as when  jesus came  upon the temple ,and saw the  money changers doing bussiness,so  he upset  all their tables. Jesus would surely upset all  the tables here . Is your money that good to you will it buy  your forgiveness

 The war has been lost ,America clings to an enclave deviding  up the oil.

it defends this turf the rest of Iraq is no mans land

meremarkdigital programmer turned thought specialist, sorta: rocket surgeon.

It's maybe like a kid's trauma in "NO Santa Claus?" truth...

... when it hits them.

Nine-Eleven Op truth means to some people that the TV they worship, and the celebrities they wannabe and 'hang' with, is all false gods and goddesses. Ya' gotta admit, that's traumatic for an addict. Deny, deny, deny.

---

A bunch of good germane links are in the comments here, pointing to latter-day history threads which all are tied into the Gordian Nine-Eleven Op knot.

I'd like to see them all wound around one central storyline. Because Rob keenly teaches us (writers) that the story is the thing.

And also because ... they are. One central story. The story of G. Herbert W. Bushbutcher.

For instance: Herbert was who light-bulbed the scheme (after his '92 defeat) to make the PNAC (mid-'93), and Herbert picked the panel ('94) and convened their meetings ('94-'99) and told them what to write and shaped their reworked 'revisions.' The PNAC's "new Pearl Harbor" is Herbert's real-life Pearl Harbor; in the December of his senior year in high school, when all the predictability of people went traumatized bonkers, (and his dad Prescott was doing a land-office lending business -- rollin' in the dough -- with Hitler's borrowing), and Herbert's future plans got turned upside down and inside out -- that Spring, after graduation he immediately enlisted, (yet several days short of being 18, so he lied), to ensure his choice of being stationed in the Pacific, not in Europe shooting at his nazi family-benefactors.

And on and on and on. 1942 -to- the present day, every damn wayward miscreance and damaging anti-democracy infamy, there's Herbert right in the middle of it; or rather, hiding right behind the cut-out, never leaving his fingerprints directly in contact.

Herbert met Rove first ('73), and picked him up to babysit Junior Dumbo. Herbert put the first dictator in Pakistan ('72) and outside the law sold them their first nuke paraphenalia ('76) which all comes to fruition (?) in Benazar Bhutto's recent murder and everything Sibel Edmonds' exposed over the weekend -- all those names are Herbert's recruits. Herbert got Cheney and Herbert got Rumsfeld and Herbert got Condoleeza and ... on and on and on: every. damn. atrocity. is Herbert's. He's right there in the shadows, every time. The CIA Headquarters building is named for Herbert -- how much more blatant and brazen can you get?! Reagan was not president. Reagan was looney tunes, after '68. Herbert was president '80-'88. Then again, '89-'92. Then again today, 2001-'08, (glib quips say Cheney is president now, but Cheney is Herbert's go-fer, and there's Herbert, today, off to the side, just out of camera angle, on the scene but not pictured).

Herbert is the one central story. All the threads unravelling this country, destroying democracy, bringing the dictator, every thing is tied to Herbert. Check it out. Pass it on.
