"Why I strongly support "The Shell Game"!‏"

He even WELL presents the point-of-view of a grown-up child of Japanese extraction, now nuclear scientist, whose mom's family was vaporized at Nagasaki.

But Alten does not hold back when Muslims/Arabs do function or have functioned as outright terrorists, nor does he hold back when Americans (Christians, Jews, whoever) likewise function as criminals and terrorists.  You do learn that the chief protagonist in the book (and his Valerie Plame-like wife) are Jewish, due to the mention of a rabbi conducting a family funeral.  But in a very dramatic scene, this man does not hesitate to call an aide to Israeli-American Richard Perle "a maggot!"


True, Alten does not address any of Israel's specific machinations that many of us have discovered behind 9/11.  But he certainly roughs up the neo-cons in America who are deeply politically connected to Israel.  And as I have elsewhere emphasized, this book is not ABOUT all the facts of 9/11. It's about a 9/11-like-event in the near future -- a much worse one -- which in reality IS likely to happen -- and which the author desperately wants an educated public to help prevent.

This page-turner novel has no requirement to present "what really happened" -- especially not ALL that really happened -- on that September day in 2001.  But it does provide DOZENS of factual news items and testimonies pertaining to 9/11 which most Americans don't know -- and which leave the reader with no doubt it was an inside job.  The reader inevitably KNOWS:  The powers-that-be did it once, and they are planning to do it again!

There is even a discourse, page 77, which NAMES NAMES regarding who exactly blocked the intel informing that 9/11 was about to occur!  And who then -- were promoted!

This book is therefore incalculably valuable to the 9/11 Truth movement, and I agree with the author's current promos that there is an urgent need for it to be widely read and discussed NOW as a deterrent to the real plots probably in motion -- such as a martial law crackdown in the U.S. and the cancellation of a presidential election.

The problem with people who have not read the whole book is that they miss out on all the context which effectively educates on all the points of view.  And therefore such reviewers/critics are not being fair to the author who has so conscientiously researched and addressed more than enough key elements in this compelling and extremely important story.

As for peak oil and global warming being artificial constructs, even though Steve Alten is deeply earnest and well-documented in his concerns on these fronts, and even though I was exposed throughout the book to his excellent problem/solution-oriented characters' dialogues and political speeches on these topics -- some speeches are quite visionary! -- I nevertheless have come away as yet unpersuaded about peak oil -- because of my own research into it. 

However:  this idea does dominate our world and drives our geopolitical policies.  Thus it is a highly valid premise for the unfolding of Political Plots, past and present. 

As for global warming, his sincerity about preserving this planet for our children is unimpeachable. And his passion for clean energy is inspiring and educational -- including his information about Dick Cheney deliberately derailing such efforts as far back as the 1970's.   I feel that what Alten has to say on this topic is worth reading, regardless of our own as-yet-unformed, or even adamant point of view, to the contrary.

Regarding criticism of his promotional efforts on the book, now urgently going around -- what he's doing is a Paul-Revere type warning that the neo-cons are NO DOUBT plotting an attack on American soil again -- far worse ones.  That this will indeed mean martial law upon all of us Truth-Workers, and All Citizens -- AND the cancellation of the upcoming election.  (In the book, it's 2012 -- but in reality?  I would say 2008!)

So!  SORRY if Paul Revere galloping around and yelling about all the danger we're in is seen as some sort of author's self-serving prance through the park! 

In my opinion, Alten has already done SO MUCH WORK -- yet now he feels further driven to continue to STRIVE and make sure the public GETS the warnings -- and GETS all of the educational insights behind them.

His well-laid-out plan to guide Truth-Workers on possibly how to do this, is also a service.  We don't have to take time and ponder how to go about it.  If we want to help with his urgent message to humanity, he's come up with some means for us to use, if we so choose.  (Below.)

Such solution-oriented thinking (and providing!) is also a delightful factor in his book.  It's not just a big fearful rant about what's happened to us and what worse is likely coming.  The author is a Guide and a Teacher regarding what we can possibly do about it.

For all these reasons, I feel that author Steve Alten deserves enormous support and respect.  And for the sake of all humanity, his book NEEDS to be a success.

It's all in place

When ever I think of what this administration is capable of I think the worst and magnify it a 1,000 times and still they surprise me.

This next year leading up to the elections are going to be some kind of interesting. With the economy collapsing, investigations heating up I just feel that before any of these criminals dare allow themselves to be held accountable for the carnage they've wrought they'll pull a scorched Earth policy and destroy everything first.

Right now everything is in place for another "false flag" attack and implementation of Marshall Law and I see more reasons for them to do it than not. And outside of the few that are aware, most Americans are simply too brainwashed and dumbed-down to do anything but follow the dictates of this criminal organization we refer to as our government when (not if) they exercise whatever diabolical plans they have.  

The camps are ready, the directives signed, the mercenary army is place, all that is missing is an "incident".

Keep your powder dry - your going to need it.

Re: Why I strongly support "The Shell Game

Thanks Mr. Douglas for posting this YouTube video.
I watched that interview on Washington Journal which I believe aired a few months ago?  

As Dr. Corsi has stated: "Directives NSPD 51 and HSPD 20 are virtually dictatorial Powers." That is why I think this Bush cabal has been able to keep a reticent Congress in order. I believe they've been warned. There is no doubt they see and hear what the hell is going on in this country, but have chosen to remain silent. Impeachment should already have been on the table.

That is why The Shell Game, Loose Change and 911 Press for Truth are going to awaken the people of this once great country and they're not going to like what they see! And God forbid there's a "National Emergency" at which time we'll probably get to see the full effects of directives 51 and 20. And at which point many in this country could very well be reading Shell Game inside one the detainment camps!

This is a serious, serious issue which most of America isn't even aware of! Having said that, in the event there is an "Emergency" many of the good citizens aren't going to cower lightly. That is for DAM sure.

As the late, great Jim Morrison worded in "Peace Frog"  Blood will be born in the birth of a nation, blood is the rose of mysterious union.

Yep, if the movement can promote "The Shell Game" with a FRENZY . . . it'll lead millions more to "Loose Change" "David Ray Griffin," etc.

Being an action thriller from a best selling novelist gives "The Shell Game" a power to influence.

On amazon.com Steve Alten has linked "The Shell Game" to David Ray Griffin's new book.

"The Shell Game" can be a shooting star that can pull all the great 9/11 truth work up into a new and wider light of public awareness and curiosity.

I whole heartedly agree

I whole heartedly agree with everything Bill Douglass relates about the book and it's importance -- make that, criticality -- to uncovering what is really going on in this world before it is too late. The only way to stop the next 9/11 -- which will make the original "pale by comparison" (in the President's own words) -- is to make enough people aware quickly enough of the false flag operation -- like others in our nation's history -- that occurred on September the Eleventh, 2001.

Please buy several copies of The Shell Game and pass them around. Help make it #1 and get lots of people asking questions at the same time.

Doing my part!

I'm on my fourth copy - I've given three as gifts.

This must be pushed up into the "top ten"!

 

Best to all truth seekers - leave no stone unturned. The most intriguing theories I have found are those of Dr. Judy Wood  http://www.drjudywood.com/  and Dr. Morgan Reynolds  http://nomoregames.net/index.php?page=911 .

Very good.

Good for you for getting multiple copies. I actually bought 10.

I agree Judy Wood may have figured it out. I wish her all the luck in the court cases. However, as Bill Douglas has pointed out numerous times, 911Truthers can't get caught up in arguing different theories. We all agree on one thing: the Official Story is a lie. And THAT is what needs to be exposed. We have to forget about MIHOP vs. LIHOP, or exactly how it was done; at least for now. If the Truth doesn't break out soon, all might well be lost in the next, much more horrific, 9/11. So everybody, push The Shell Game. Make it a #1 bestseller to get the media to pay attention and lots of people asking questions at the same time. The more people there are that know the truth, the harder it is for them to get away with the next one. And people around the world are paying attention.
