I am now dedicating myself to urging as many activists as possible to do all they can to spread the word on this important book to force the issues it raises into the public mass mind. Why this book? Because Americans, at least many of the, are incapable of looking at truth that is too painful. This action fiction gives them a way to face hard truths in a way they can handle. Republicans who voted for Bush are writing the author thanking him for waking them up. We need this book, “The Shell Game” to spread, and expand this awakening.
My Father served in Patton's Army in the 45th Infantry Division out of Oklahoma. He and his Division were the first in to liberate the Dachau death camps. As these battle hardened men entered the gates, many fell to their knees and wept at the site. Outraged they forced the German Dachau suburbanites out of their homes, to help bury the bodies. My father was always struck by how the people there had looked at the GIs with such abject hatred, for making them face a truth too ugly to live with. One they had worked hard to pretend did not exist next to their homes.
Father, I know that look. For my fellow Americans have looked at me that same way for six long years, as I have shown them truths about the attacks of 9/11, that are ugly truths. They are as hard for me to look at as the ravages at Dachau, but I have forced myself to look into the heart of the lies of 9/11, in your honor. So that other American children, like the ones who murdered that innocent puppy out of their utter pain, could be saved from your torture. I want it all to end so badly, I will continue to look at the ugly truth of 9/11, until all my neighbors know it was a lie, and stop supporting this criminal and false "war on terror" created in Washington.
"The Shell Game" can help Americans face a truth too ugly to face head on. As they read this work of "fiction" they are fed manageable doses of real 9/11 facts, so that they walk away hungry for more truth, and knowing they've been lied to. This work of historical fiction is a brilliant, powerful tool for truth. We MUST help spread the word about it!
My father did not deserve what he got. These poor sick puppies in the above video [top of page 1 of this oped] wearing US combat fatigues, who killed another innocent puppy out of their inner pain, do not deserve what our nation is doing to them through its willful ignorance.
Educate yourself about 9/11. You were lied to.Visit
and look at the “911 Links” there. Begin with watching the free online “9/11 Mysteries” documentary. Then look at Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth, Pilots for 9/11 Truth, PatriotsQuestion911, and the other links there.
Our troops do not deserve our unconsciousness. Our pro-war, "Support the Troops," bumper stickers are making them sick. They deserve us all, together, walking through the pain of awakening.
Below is an excerpt from my "Amateur Parent" book, which I wrote long before the war in Iraq began. Feel free to share it or this article widely:
OUR SONS
Since I was small, I’ve loved horses.
There is something so innocently majestic about them.Even horses that were mean to me, I adored.The one that bucked me off, and the Shetland Pony that tried to scrape me off its back under the clothesline, are only fond memories of childhood now.
