Default 'Shell Game' author Steve Alten facing harrassment

before the week is out, i'm done here.... so i'll part with my swansong... a link to a story that capsulizes it all... it's very long, but very important, and very revealing...

this piece caught my eye immediately because it mentions Michael C. Ruppert...

Michael C. Ruppert is a former LAPD narcotics officer, patronized CIA recruit and fearless investigative journalist, NYT award-winning author, Web host ... and a true hero and patriot... his work immediately after 9/11 is the best there is, and where most of it all eminated from... it's also one of the two key influences that crystalized my belief system regarding the lies leading up to Iraq .. he's now fighting for his life in Canada due to a mysterious case of liver toxicity his doctors can not identify (web reports are vague, and amazingly sparse since he was chased out of the country and his web site vandalized)...

so it has happened to Gary Webb (dead) and Michael C. Ruppert (dying), and now it's apparently happening to Steve Alten (?)... if our masters had nothing to hide, why would they make life so miserable for investigative journalists, and now even fiction writers?

anyhow, here we are... 'the Shell Game'... a brand new 'fiction' novel about the near future, and the path we seem to be heading toward with confrontation with Iran...

what follows is an op-ed:

Quote:
What Do a Renowned 9/11 Physicist and a N.Y. Times Best Selling Novelist Have in Common? Harassment by Dis-Information?

by Bill Douglas Page 1 of 4 page(s)


In the last 48 hours, N.Y. Times best selling novelist, Steve Alten, author of, "The Shell Game," was recently shocked and dumbfounded that he’d become the victim of harassment, when someone not only put a map of his home and his personal private phone number and home address up on the internet, . . . but also either remotely accessed or intercepted personal private email between he and his publicist . . .

. . . and all because of the impending release of his new novel, "The Shell Game." http://theshellgame.net/ (See 9/11 truth links in the “911 Links” section of his site, to learn why this impending block buster novel may be causing such actions).

Having been a patriotic citizen working to expose the deceptions leading us to war, I’d personally become fascinated with Alten’s new novel, “The Shell Game.” I’d contacted him through his website after a high school English teacher told me about “The Shell Game,” because it dealt with oil, war, and deceptions leading us to war.

So, when I learned this novelist had become increasingly a victim of bizarre harassment, I suspected “why” this may have happened, and then decided it might be instructive to explain it to others. So I wrote this oped this morning. For this, in my opinion, represents yet another event in the chronology of a movement for truth that has been attacked and maligned for years now.

For the novelist who wrote, “The Shell Game,” it’s just a bizarre experience, for he’s just trying to write a good novel, and from his perspective, well if it happens to spur discussion of important issues, well that’s about as American as apple pie.

I think most people will think, if this novel has caused him to be targeted for such harassment, even before its release . . . well, it must have something “very interesting” to say. And in my opinion it does.

However, the bizarre harassment of this best selling author, from my perspective, is part of a long time pattern of harassment that those of us who’ve been working along side the 9/11 families who have demanded a new independent 9/11 investigation, have experienced over and over again. Even the Jersey Girls, the 9/11 widows who fought Washington to get the 9/11 Commission, were victims of it when Anne Coulter said they enjoyed their husband's deaths.

This best selling novelist may have set off to only write a good novel, but it has cast him into a world of intrigue and duplicity that many good people have lived in for years now.

So who does this story involve? The title of this OpEd, “What Do a Renowned 9/11 Physicist and a N.Y. Times Best Selling Novelist Have in Common?” actually would be more appropriately titled, what do a former Los Angeles Police Department detective, a N.Y. Times best selling novelist, a mild mannered respected physicist, an equally mild mannered and equally respected architectural design engineer, and concerned citizens demanding a new 9/11 investigation, all have in common?

This is the story of the 9/11 truth movement, and perhaps the story of how all great movements for truth and justice are deliberately sabotaged by those powers who have an interest in keeping truth from the mass public.

He thinks the same guys who put plutonium into the Russian ex-KGB guy's Earl Grey are after him.

Only one problem: wrong country. Tin-foilers always like to equate the U.S. with Russia.

Delusions of self-importance.

My TV doesn't get porn, by MY choice.


And, talk about "drama queens"!! Oh, I know: you got tapped as Kucinich's "Minister of Information", so you will not be able to converse anymore on plebian websites. But, wait a minute, does he even have a campaign anymore??? Or did you jump back onto the Ron Paul "band"(???) wagon??

Enjoy the ride!! See you when you get back!!!





PS: what out for the "Morning Thunder". It's quite "explosive", rumor has it.
