[CitizensTruth] RARE OPPORTUNITY THIS WEEK!

[Connie Smith]

This week is a rare opportunity to force mainstream media to serve American citizens' interests instead of their chronic kow-towing to the global gangsters who are running and ruining our nation and wrecking our world.  

If a thoroughly documented thriller novel reaches The New York Times best-seller list this week, the articulate author will be our voice on the major talk shows -- where "seldom is heard" the truth -- the truth of how deceptive and dangerous "our leaders" have been for quite some time, and what horrors they're up to next.

If you've longed for the Bush administration and some previous, equally guilty government hacks to be exposed and hauled off to prison, the widespread purchase of the book, "The Shell Game," could blast that door wide open this week. 

"Is it fair" to organize a purchase campaign in order to promote a book?  I don't know -- I just know that the likes of nazis like Anne Coulter would already be in the dustbin of history if her book sales weren't pumped by right-wing purchase campaigns.  

It's time to turn their tactics back on them for the sake of American safety and freedom -- and all you have to do is spend $17 on a really good book.  Hopefully you will even consider buying multiple copies for your friends and family, those who are not yet clued in to 9/11 Truth and the danger we're all in from another plot like 9/11 -- only worse -- to take us into expanded war, likely martial law, and almost certain cancellation of elections. 

If the book is successful, author Steve Alten has pledged $5,000 a week to a fund for the ailing and dying first responders at 9/11.  But even if he hadn't done this -- even if he just wanted to have an extremely successful book -- he would deserve it.  The intellectual work he's put into tying together mountains of eye-popping FACTS into a page-turner story of urgent timeliness is reason enough to thoroughly reward this man -- not to mention to financially support him, since the stress of this project-for-humanity triggered his Parkinson's Disease diagnosis.  

Below is my review of "The Shell Game," and trailers, etc, if you need further insight into WHY this is a must purchase during this week.  But if you already "get it" and are rarin' to go, just below is the link to the website where the purchase automatically donates to 9/11 first responders.

Or you can order from Amazon.com, or go to your local major book retailer -- to which the NY Times refer in order to create their make-it-or-break-it bestseller list.

Please participate in this rare opportunity to break through the mainstream media blockade that has totally enabled the drastic circumstances we find ourselves in now!

Why I Strongly Recommend "The Shell Game"
by Connie Cook Smith

Background:  My own work on 9/11 research came about almost immediately. I simply could not believe Muslims would do a one-day attack on America and therefore provoke invasions of their lands!  Seemed suspicious right from the get-go, especially when early reports from Mohammed Atta's neighbors in Florida made it clear that he and gang (their wild life-style) was NOT that of "Muslim fundamentalists."

And indeed, for all who have looked into it, that's how the evidence has played out.  

Also, knowing how egregiously and murderously Muslims have long been treated by the West, it has been hard for me to see much fault on their part, on the geopolitical scene.  The ones who are actually terrorists just didn't decide to go out and commit mayhem one day -- they have been threatened, displaced, and humiliated beyond endurance -- and like many desperate peoples, they end up taking violent action.

That being said, though, I've reluctantly learned over my lifetime that there are good guys and bad guys in every faction on Earth.  There ARE wholesome and spiritually minded soldiers in the American military, from the grunts to the generals.  And there ARE outright murderers/rapists/evildoers.  There ARE wise and kind and peace-working Muslims in each sect.  And there ARE aggressive and theocratic blowback people who are bent on doing great harm.

What I like about Alten's book is that -- well, frankly, some Americans would call him a traitor because of how thoroughly he exposes the all-too-seldom-told tale of American evil-doing (and warns of more to come if we don't stop them -- Americans who are ACTUALLY traitors)!  And how sympathetically he tells the back-stories of the plot's bomb-carriers from Iraq, whose lives have been ripped apart by American aggression.  (Which has been totally unjustified, because Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11.) 

The author also presents some Shi'a and Sunni dialogue that is highly educational on those particular differences, which even becomes amusing, at times, in a human-endearing sense.  In other words -- if it were you, Dear Reader, you too might consider what they've decided to do.  Whereas most American literature demonizes Muslims, he humanizes them.  I feel he has done a great service in this regard.  

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, just as he does not 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 main character does not hesitate to call an aide to war-mongering 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 riveting novel has no requirement to present "what really happened" on that September day in 2001 -- especially not ALL that really happened.  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 LEARNS:  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 in our government blocked the intel warning 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 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's negative comments 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.

Some say his premises of peak oil and global warming are artificial constructs.  I will say that even though Steve Alten is deeply earnest and well-documented in his concerns on these fronts, and even though I was fascinated throughout the book with his excellent problem/solution oriented characters' dialogues and political speeches on these topics -- some speeches are quite visionary! -- I personally 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, in fiction and in reality.

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 -- I can see that 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.

Such solution-oriented thinking 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.  Please consider buying multiple copies before this week is over!

Respectfully,
Connie Cook Smith
