New York Times Best Selling [9/11 truth] Author of "The Shell Game" Issues New Years Day Appeal to 9/11 Truth & Progressive Activists
Re: Personal Message to 9/11 Truth and Progressive Activists from New York Times Best Selling Author Steve Alten, author of "The Shell Game."
I received this below message from New York Times best selling novelist, Steve Alten, author of the truth telling, "The Shell Game." He asked that it be sent out to 9/11 truth and progressive activists today, on New Years day. But, first a comment from me on this book.
Since I previewed the book, and became excited about its potential to spread 9/11 truth, I've been stunned by a very few, but very vocal, activists who say they seek 9/11 truth, yet off handedly dismiss supporting a "novel," from a best selling author who's willing to put it all on the line to write a profound truth telling story.
My answer to them is "have you ever used the term Orwellian to describe what's happening in America today?"
I know the value of this is obvious to most of us. But to those who don't get it, here's a wake up call! The reason we all know what "Orwellian" means, is because a novelist, named George Orwell warned us of what is happening today in a little novel, novel as in fiction, called, "1984."
If Orwell hadn't written that work of fiction, many of us would have little clue of the crimes being perpetrated on Americans by our own government. That powerful work of fiction provided context to understand how governments manipulate their own people at times, in order to justify war and immoral policies.
I believe "The Shell Game" offers America and the world the same potential, except more immediately, as it is not about some nebulous intangible future as 1984 was, rather it's about right here and right now, even though it is set in the next White House, after the 2012 election.

****************************************************************** THE SHELL GAME: A Personal Message from the Author to 9/11 TRUTH and all PROGRESSIVE GROUPS:
The SHELL GAME is neither standard fiction nor non-fiction, it was written as a cautionary tale, backed by disturbing facts and inconvenient truths that are used to project an all-too-real scenario down the path we have been lulled into taking. Two long years of research went into the project, key bits of information provided to me along the way by concerned fans of mine in the military, the oil industry, the political arena, and by individuals who simply have suffered far too much. Some of the things they told me have given me nightmares, and in fact, this entire project has taxed my nerves to the point of permanent damage. (Four months before the publication of the book, I was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease.)
When the monsters in the story are our own elected officials who committed treason, then the horror becomes a little too real.
Upon reading the manuscript for The SHELL GAME, a trusted editor of mine who has guided me through seven novels, most of which dealt with monstrous creatures, told me that none of the major publishing houses would ever publish this book, despite the fact that I am a NY Times best-selling author and my work has been optioned as movies. "It's not conventional fiction, the protagonist has to be more heroic and save the day...plus it's way too controversial. I just can't bring myself to believe the President of the United States would knowingly allow such a horrendous thing to happen?"
My response was simple: If I would have written a book about what happened on 9/11, before it happened, would you have believed that? My editor friend thought about that for a moment, then replied, "okay, but you wouldn't have been able to sell that book either."
He was WRONG! The SHELL GAME did sell, and could be the next Da Vinci Code∑with YOUR HELP!
On January 22, 2008, 40,000 first-edition hardbacks will appear in major bookstores around the country, appearing on front tables at Barnes & Noble and Borders, and in major airports. WITH YOUR HELP we can turn a fictional thriller into a message to the mainstream.
YOUR 9//11 TRUTH MESSAGE! A message that has been ignored by the majority of Americans. A message that may finally sink in. And when these Americans read this addictive page-turner, they shall feel what I felt: Shock. Anger. Betrayal. Frustration. And they shall come to realize what I now realize∑ that the 9/11 Truth Movement are the real patriots in 21st century America!
Yes∑I combed your sites and watched your videos. But as I began reaching out to the 9/11 organizations, I realized the movement has been fractured by both outside and internal forces that blur the truth by twisting and contorting the message or attacking those they disagree with in varying shads of gray.
United we stand, divided we flounder behind "conspiracy theorists" and "lefty liberal wacko" labels. The truth was lost behind a Tower of Babel.
And suddenly the success of the book took on a whole new meaning. You see, THE SHELL GAME represents the truth∑only it doesn't bash its way through mainstream America's front door, it sneaks in the back door∑as entertainment.
To the 9/11 Truth movement, to those who demand we get off the fossil fuel needle for green renewable energy, to those who demand honesty and accountability among our elected officials∑let the book be the instrument that delivers the message to mainstream America during the most important election in our country's history. YOUR EFFORTS can launch the book onto mainstream America's best-seller lists! YOUR EFFORTS can bring the conversation into the light∑on shows like Letterman and Leno, on morning shows like TODAY and GMA, and in major newspapers across the country. Let the book serve as a universal tool that rallies YOUR EFFORTS into one UNITED MESSAGE:
THAT WE demand accountability! THAT WE demand new 9/11 investigations! THAT WE will not be silenced any longer!
And yes, the enemies of truth will come forth as they always have. Right wing political pundits will accuse me of being a conspiracy theorist ˆ part of the "left wing wackos." In truth, I am a registered Democrat, but I am far from a liberal and the Dems feel my wrath in the story as well as the Republicans. To my delight, this book was published by a Mormon conservative group out of Utah ˆ a traditional red state.
Red states, blue states. Utter nonsense. We are all proud Americans. So let me introduce to you two colors that better define the line of separation in the United States and the rest of the world:
Black is the color of oil and coal and the carbon dioxide it delivers into our atmosphere every day - 70 million tons of it. Black is the ledger of the oil companies, created by billions of dollars in profits that support Middle Eastern governments (kept in place too often by our foreign covert policy (ie Syrianna), who care little about their own people. Those same billions allows the fossil fuel industry to lobby and coerce our politicians, who in turn, allow them to continue to pollute. Black is the color of cancer and death; the color of minorities who perished in New Orleans because it was too costly to fix the problem, and the color of blood as it bleeds from a bullet wound and mortar fire. Black is the heart who loses a loved one in a war they know is unjust. Finally, black is the date that will appear on the calendars of all those who witness the blackest date in our history. . . when a nuclear device explodes in one of our cities, incinerating tens of thousands, radiating millions, and staining what remains of our civilization forever, and the increasing probability that that attack won't come from so- called enemies abroad, but from within, to cow us into endless war.
Green is the solution that can prevent the catastrophe. It is the color of clean energy and the new economy it brings. It is the color of our environment as we reverse the effects of climate change, reducing CO-2 emissions in the air, soothing our planet's temperature.
Green is the color of money, which is why green will never be allowed to positively impact our civilization as long as oil is black.
Six years and four months have passed since the crimes of 9/11. The guilty remain free, the whistle-blowers troubled, and YOU, the patriots of truth, have been battered and threatened and punished just as our constitution has been trampled upon. HELP ME HELP YOU! For the first time YOUR EFFORTS can be quantified on a weekly basis. When The SHELL GAME peeks its head onto the NY TIMES best-seller lists, YOU WILL HAVE STRUCK A BLOW FOR TRUTH. When the book hits #1∑ America will be listening! All of YOUR BOATS shall rise with this tide, all of your bloggs and websites and videos and DVDs shall be watched by a new audience∑an audience that read the book and DEMANDS MORE INFORMATION. Your rallies shall be new launching points for real change and new investigations∑IF WE REMAIN UNITED. Let the book rally the tower of Babel so that mainstream America finally hears your message in a focused, deliverable venue∑A NOVEL!
And may your united efforts strike down the imposters who attempt to stand in our way.
The time is now! Spread the word! Stand united! And let the truth right our floundering nation--
ˆbecause look where red and blue have gotten us. . .
