The 9/11 Truth Movement is organizing a "Week of Truth" to try to promote The Shell Game, a fictional book that exposes all the truth about 9/11.

I agree that a piece of fiction is the best way to spread 9/11 Truth. The average person is too self-absorbed to be bothered by the facts. Or, to put it more benevolently, stories are the best way to help people learn, and to reach those who are not touched emotionally by facts. This is why Oliver Stone's JFK was so effective; it follows textbook screenwriting tactics (strong protagonist embarking upon a heroic journey; incorporates a subplot revolving around relationship with his wife; protagonist and his wife have a clear character arc).

But I've heard that this book is somewhat of a limited hangout, as it still pushes a globalist agenda. Also, I'm starting to think 9/11 Truth is tapped out; the people that aren't awake now don't want to wake up. They won't wake up until they feel the pain -- i.e. inflation, poverty -- or until we deliver the solution instead of just talking about the problem. Both of which will happen, rest assured.

But still, I am all for supporting the Movement, so I think it's worth talking about this initiative. -- KM
