Beyond that, independent publishers, one of which published Alten’s book when major publishing houses (who’d published his previous non-controversial books eagerly) turned their back on the controversial issues in the 9/11 truth telling “The Shell Game,” . . . are watching what happens with it. 
However, speaking at the 911 Truth Conference in Australia last week, he was adamant that, in order to create the public pressure to make that happen, now it is time for the 9/11 truth movement to move beyond the internet circles, and into the main public arena. It is time to bring 9/11 truth to the more common people’s world, he asserted.
New York Times best selling author, Steve Alten, has been living the call of the Japanese Senator in recent weeks, speaking on National CBS Radio thru nearly 200 radio stations on WTC 7, the 9/11 War Games, the illegal destruction of WTC forensic evidence and other pressing 9/11 truth questions.
Last week Alten launched into 9/11 questions at a major book fair in Florida, when on a panel with horror author Steven King’s son, novelist Joe Hill. He stunned over 200 attendees who’d come to hear tips on writing.
Steve Alten offers the current, best hope, for 9/11 truth issues to explode into mainstream media. For his efforts major 9/11 truth leadership embraced his efforts . . . however, in the blogosphere too many 9/11 truth activists have urged others not to support Alten. This is terribly damaging to 9/11 truth efforts, because if the movement rallied around Alten’s new 9/11 truth telling historic-novel “The Shell Game,” and drove it into the top 10 of the New York Times list . . . 9/11 truth would find its way throughout mainstream media through Alten’s relentlessly courageous voice.
IF they see it succeed they will be emboldened to publish more. If the movement watches corporate media effectively sabatoge this powerful 9/11 truth issue raising tool . . . and just shrugs and goes "oops, we did the best we could, we mentioned the book a couple o' times" then the publishing industry will see that book's demise. It may well be the last one we see, whereas its success could usher in a host of truth telling works.
Anne Coulter, the insane best selling author, hits #1 with her books, and because of the publishers keep pumping them out and promoting them like crazy. WHY? Because they make money. Her fanatical fans buy them, supporting her, and driving them up and her onto national media.
However, it is not too late. A major 9/11 truth effort to drive “The Shell Game,” to the top 10, can still occur. All we have to do is make it happen, to talk about it, write about it, call into mainstream talk shows about it, post on not just 9/11 blogs, but on all progressive movement blogs about it. And to keep discussing it on 9/11 truth boards, blogs, in newsletters, radio programs and emails, again and again and again.
Those strange so-called 9/11 truth seekers who have scorned Alten’s courageous efforts, have said “The Shell Game” should get there on its own without our help. Given that Alten’s works have reached the NY Times best seller list several times over . . . it would, since “The Shell Game” is his best work. HOWEVER, corporate media that aided his other non-controversial works . . . has of course, turned their back on the explosive 9/11 truth telling “The Shell Game.” Therefore, if the 9/11 truth movement wants to get the benefits of 9/11 truth access to mainstream corporate media, as Japanese Senator Fujita is urging us to do . . . we must help “The Shell Game” in every way possible.
We are closer to 9/11 truth breaking out than we may think, Senator Fujita explained in Australia. Fujita spoke to former UK minister, Michael Meacher while at the European Parliament 9/11 Truth Conference recently.
You may remember that years before, Michael Meacher, UK Minister of the Environment in the Blair government had gained international attention when he had stated facts in national media that pointed to 9/11 being an inside job, and was forced to resign from the Blair government for his courageous statement of facts. Japanese Senator, Yukihisa Fujita, speaking at the Australian Oz 2008 911 Truth Conference this week, said that Meacher now says that there are twenty or more members of the Labor Party in Parliament who also now believe 9/11 was an inside job. Futhermore, he was told that there were over twenty other Parliament Ministers, from other parties, who would support a viable effort to push for a new 9/11 investigation.
Senator Fujita also said that former national minister, Meacher, told him that as Bush steps down and Blair steps down “our time is coming.” Right now today, the 9/11 truth movement has the opportunity to break the truth out into lightspeed using the courage of best selling author Steve Alten, and the position his new historic-novel puts him in.
Alten is desperate to get as much 9/11 truth issues into the mainstream as quickly as possible, his fear being that the subject of his book of a neocon false flag attack on America, to fool us all into war with Iran and possible even to subvert the US Presidential election . . . may be coming true.
He sites Paul Craig Roberts warnings of just such a coming event, and Bush and Chertoff’s ongoing “threats” of a coming attack on America that will dwarf the 9/11 attacks. He sites the recent resignation (firing) of Admiral Fallon, the highest ranking officer in the military to resist an attack on Iran by this administration. Alten stepped up his efforts to engage the 9/11 truth movement to help him gain a larger voice in mainstream corporate media, offering to donate $5,000, and more, to 9/11 first responders suffering from their being lied to about the air quality at ground zero. Alten pledged to donate $5,000 to the first responders for every week “The Shell Game” hits the top 10 list of the New York Times best seller list. He challenges the 9/11 truth movement to conduct a campaign to make that happen. WHY?
When a book hits the top 10, it is posted in every bookstore in America and in the New York Times, itself. It becomes corporate media talk show content, and provides a platform for the author to speak to America. It only takes 30,000 sales in one week to reach the top 10. The 9/11 truth seekers in America now number in the tens of millions.

A mass movement
Surely there are millions who make up the movement. What would it take to get them to fill up the mall at DC? Martin Luther King made history. Surely, there are several spell binding speakers to be found among those who have not been fooled by Bush. Put them in front of a crowd of 200,000 or more demanding an investigation and indictment!!!

Yep, we could and should do that, BUT a first step would be to get 30,000 people in one week who want 9/11 truth, to get "The Shell Game". It would explode Alten into mainstream media, where he can do what he's done/doing . . . demand answers to the hard 9/11 questions. has links to most major 9/11 truth sites, books, DVDs, etc. by Bill Douglas (69 articles, 2 quicklinks, 11 diaries, 434 comments) on Thursday, Mar 20, 2008 at 1:21:10 PM (0+)

Reply: What "research" did the "messenger" actually do?
Where Mr. Alten has been known to frequent OpEdNews.com, this comment's specifically addressed to him. Billy is lost to his own 9/11 faith, as well as a fair number of others - to include Mr. Alten. As I've answered and sourced previously, NORAD was only conducting one (1) exercise at the time of the attacks contrary to the five confined to the northeast "corridor". Two additional NORAD drills were scheduled but had not commenced. In light of this, I'm forced to ask these questions. WHO do Truthers fear the most - themselves and their hidden but real doubts on 9/11? WHAT part of these sourced facts on the exercises don't Truthers understand? WHEN will they actually play the role of the skeptic and look at the EVIDENCE and not the speculation rooted in their own biases? HOW do they continue to believe the false assertions on these exercises? WHY do they thrive in the negative and wither in the positive? Regardless... Mr. Alten, you who "innocently" feigns responsibility by claiming to "only be the messanger", read the reality of the exercises and not some silly, speculative nonsense typed up by a misanthrope whose idea of a good time is biting the same hand that feeds him. And you call the tripe that you served up in your novel - research? My sixth grader could uncover what follows, while your still playing with your "rabbit hole" - http://www.opednews.com/maxwrite/diarypage.php?did=6509 .

I happened to be at the Australian 9/11 truth conference
last week. It was a marvellous event. Very, very inspiring. Mr. Fujita ("Call me 'Yuki Fujita'") was a very likeable man (including that touch of Japanese "inscrutableness"), who fitted right in at the conference and whose presence was a great success. He made the point that in order to reach people outside of the Internet, we should always keep in mind who we were talking to, and pitch our message to what about 9/11 would interest or appeal to this particular audience. I approached Mr Fujita and congratulated him for taking his message to the European Parliament. He regretted that it has so far been impossible to bring the message out in the open, and said that there is now an urgency to try and do so. A foreign dignitary from Japan. Not a single member of the Australian federal, or the New South Wales state, government to welcome him.

Reply: Yes, Robert, Fujita's point is personified in "The Shell Gam
"The Shell Game" is so incredibly approachable to those masses who simply won't consider the truth of 9/11, as it is . . . action fiction. HOWEVER, those who read it, and I know from the amazon reviews, as well as messages Alten gets from readers, EVEN BUSH REPUBLICANS who read "The Shell Game" become wholley suspicious about 9/11, many researching deeper. Alten is a force for 9/11 truth, and we can help him gain international noteriety by driving this book to #1 thru our activism, emails, blogging, etc. etc. by Bill Douglas (69 articles, 2 quicklinks, 11 diaries, 434 comments) on Thursday, Mar 20, 2008 at 7:48:45 PM (0+)

Move beyond the internet
I agree with the Japanese Senator. I have invented a new way of causing trouble for those in power: whistleblower bannering. It uses the internet to move beyond the internet. Stand outside a government building as people leave work with a banner with a concise website like ae911truth.org OR patriotsquestion911.com.

Reply: David Watts
Mr. Slesinger, we've had some lively debates recently on molten metal. Have you been hiding under a rock in that you haven't seen the discussions? Check out David Watts excellent article in which I prove that 9/11 was an inside job. Mr. Watts' logic is so compelling that I've bought into the idea that 9/11 was an inside job; the man is like - a god - http://www.opednews.com/maxwrite/diarypage.php?did=6616 ! Since this article, I've been informed by Mr. Watts that I'm no longer required to comment on 9/11 where it was an inside job. The good Mr. Ledger and Mr M agree with Mr. Watts' conclusion. Therefore, I recommend you contact those fine folks if you have any question on the molten metal - I mean - molten steel! by Tom Murphy (3 articles, 5 quicklinks, 16 diaries, 2103 comments [55 recommended, 0 rejected]) on Saturday, Mar 22, 2008 at 12:23:18 PM (0+)
