On February 6th, “The Shell Game,” an explosive 9/11 truth telling edu-tainment novel rose to #31 on the New York Times Best Seller List! What is amazing about this is that “The Shell Game” just barely hit the front placement in major book stores, airports, etc. across the nation on February 1st.Meaning that this book hit the big time before it was even commercially released in any real way.WHY?
Perhaps this question is best answered by the following message “The Shell Game” author, just sent to 9/11 truth activists who had worked hard to spread the word on the novel since reading preview copies:
********************************
TO: The real Patriots of the 21st century
RE: UPDATE
Congratulations! Your efforts have caused The SHELL GAME to hit the NY Times best seller list, debuting at # 31 in only its second week! Here's what is really exciting: Barnes & Noble and Borders front table space only began Feb. 1. If we can continue to push it up the list into the top 10, the following dominoes will fall:
1. Supermarkets, drugstores, Targets, etc., will automatically BUY IN as they purchase off the NY Times list.
2. Major newspapers will ask for review copies and interviews.
3. Major shows like Letterman will be interested.
4. The top 10 best seller list is published each week in NATIONAL PAPERS. It is what people buy from. The potential to create a WAVE of mass sales is there, persuading the media and public alike.
And YES... Amazon.com sales COUNT on the list!
What does this mean to the 9/11 Truth Movement?
It means you just got yourself a crowbar to leverage open doors that have been slammed shut.
And I am not playing it safe. If you listened to my interview with former Senator Robert Rovner, I pull no punches. I let everyone know that YOU are the voice of patriotism, a voice that has been deliberately smeared by disinformation tactics because the powers-that-be fear the truth. The evidence is overwhelming that the Bushies committed TREASON! War games, put orders...Cheney issuing stand down orders in the bunker...we need a real investigation. Could the success of a novel do it?
Yes. . . . . [read on at page #2 to learn how and why]

And today donated it to the local library, so more people can read it. Even though it makes no real mention of Israel's seeming involvement, it still should awaken people and get then looking into the many unanswered questions about that infamous day.

Woohoo! In the words of Dieter from Sprockets fame on Saturday Night Live, "Now, I am as happy as a little gurl," followed immediately by, "You plug [the book] with the subtilty of a flying mallet," and ending with, "Would you like to touch my monkey [an obvious euphemism for 'read the book']? Touch him! Love him! Rühren mein Affe! Lieben meine Affe-monkey! ... He is smitten with you, I can tell."
And there are more Dieter quotes that oddly enough apply here:
"Sadly, Klaus is limited. But he is beautiful, is he not," - an apparent reference to Mr. Douglas' tireless focus on "The Shell Game".
"Karl-Heinz, your body is beautiful and angular, and if you were a gas, you'd be inert," - Mr. Douglas' veneration of Mr. Alten as the author of "The Shell Game".
"Textures intrigue me," - the troubling 9/11 connections and conclusions woven into the fabric of "The Shell Game" that Mr. Douglas believes will convert others into Truthers.
"I appreciate a warm hand on my opening," - Mr. Douglas' "nod" to those who comment favorably about - yes, you guessed correctly - "The Shell Game".
"Why is it that the truly brilliant are doomed to a life of obscurity, surrounded by a sea of mediocrity, only to end up covered in sores in a pool of their own filth? Oh well, the beat goes on," - Mr. Douglas' fear of "The Shell Game" not making it to #1 on the New York Times (NYT) Bestsellers list.
"His agony was gorgeous. I need to be slapped," - the thoughts of Mr. Douglas when he "one-ups" Tom Murphy in an exchange of words and ideas on "The Shell Game".
"Your setup has become tiresome," - the response from Mr. Douglas when Tom Murphy "one-ups" him in an exchange of words and ideas on "The Shell Game".
"Now is the time on Sprockets when we dance," - Mr. Douglas' natural reaction to 'The Shell Game" hitting #31 on the NYT Bestsellers list.
The quotes and associations are made in good, clean fun and not meant to be personal (i.e., don't go all politically correct on me). As I have noted previously here, I am a big fan of parody and found the quotes to good not to include.

I try not to squirm - reminds me of hemorrhoids...
Will do.
Folks, check out the latest New York Times Bestseller (currently #31) from Steve Alten - "The Shell Game". Cedar Fort, Inc (dba Sweetwater Books) has a convenient link here - http://www.cedarfort.com/sweetwater/shellgame.html .
I recommend everyone check out the book at this link. And while your there, perhaps you could pick up some other LDS award winning and nominated works!
This is another Mormom book that should not be overlooked! 9/11 never seemd so real and utterly evil as it does within "The Shell Game"'s pages! Well, maybe it did when we all actually watched the horror of 9/11, but this IS different because you're now paying to read about it!
BTW - I picked up a copy and plan to start reading it this weekend. Upon completion of the read, I intend to post a review for Mr. Alten, as he suggested in an earlier post.

Good, have a traveling court !!! and also many approaches to outting truth. WeAreChange is confronting Tim Russert and other media criminals on video and they are being judged by a court of public opinion every day.
Many 9/11 truth action people are confronting the neocons and through youtube they are being judged by a court of public opinion every day.
This is how movements are built.
Willie Nelson uses his fame to say "9/11 was an inside job, and the wars are for oil."
Steve Alten uses his skills as a writer to unveil 9/11 research to a mass public the corporate media has censored it from, and it is waking people up every day. People who would never go to a rally or watch a research DVD.
Rivulets of truth pour from many angles, and when enough people know that 9/11 was a lie, the cowards in Congress begin to feel more pressure NOT TO INVESTIGATE . . . than they've felt to investigate.
The good people in the courts, and they are there, your wholesale condemnation of everyone being evil except you . . . is wrong.
When the good people in the courts, know that an overwhelming majority of Americans know we were lied to on 9/11 . . . this will embolden them to do what they feel is right, instead of just what will continue their career.
When the overwhelming majority know, careers are no longer in danger for doing what's right, and in fact people can become heroes in their careers for doing right.
Our job is to get as much truth out as we can to create the mass demand for truth from all angles and all ways. "The Shell Game" is waking up a hell of alot of people, and if we help it to go to #1,
share www.TheShellGame.net and post the 90 second 911 Truth book trailer there EVERYWHERE . . .
If we help it go to #1 we can wake up millions of Americans. That would be a huge step in the struggle for truth and accountability.
a "tipping point" out in front. Hopefully not very far away. Steve Alten's book has the possibility of concentrating a lot of attention in a short period of time. And if you get a lot of people to start asking questions at the same time, well, it sure can't hurt.

The problem is that too many of us are too knee jerk conditioned by the past, and it IS a horrific past (from 2000 on . . . ), but read the polls, talk to your colleagues and neighbors. There's a good time coming and it ISN"T so far away. This is one of those rare moments in history when you can't predict the future from the patterns of the past. Our future is WIDE OPEN: 9/11, assassinations, genocide, Mother Nature rape and on and on. HERE IT COMES, ALL OF IT! Tipping point, critical mass, whatever SANITY IS ON A ROLL IN AMERICA.
