West Palm Beach, FL, — Only days after Obama appointee Van Jones resigned his post at the Council on Environmental Quality for signing a petition years ago to reinvestigate the events of 9/11, a new book makes its debut that provides hard evidence just why a new investigation may be needed.
The Shell Game, written by NY Times best-selling author Steve Alten, deals with conspiracy fa cts that are hard to argue and the book names names. At the center of the storm is former Vice President Dick Cheney. Alten says “Cheney was in-charge of wargame exercises that were being conducted the morning of September 11th that purposely diverted jet-fighters guarding the Northeastern Air Defense Sector (where all four hijackings occurred) sending them over Iceland, Greenland, Canada, and Alaska.
One of these exercises, named Vigilante Guardian, was a hijack drill that actually mimicked the real events while inserting twenty-two false blips on the FAA and NORAD radar screens, confusing the air traffic controllers.” Cheney had been placed in-charge of wargame exercises in May of 2001 by a special Presidential Directive. According to the author, who references dozens of sources, the events of 9/11 were a false flag event that neoconservative members of the Bush Administration wanted to succeed, giving them the “Pearl Harbor” event needed to justify an invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq.
The Shell Game extrapolates these factual details to illustrate a new threat — one Vice President Cheney has been predicting since last May — a nuclear suitcase bomb detonating in a major U.S. city. After reading an advanced copy of the book, Paul Craig Roberts, former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury under Ronald Reagan stated, “Steve Alten was more alert than the media. Realizing fantasy is one route by which Americans can be brought to face the facts, and hoping to preclude any such real wo rld event, Alten wrote a thriller predictive of our future between now and 2012.”
Cynthia McKinney, a six-term Congresswoman says the book is an absolute “must read.” The duress of writing the book took its toll on the author’s nerves. Three months after turning in the manuscript to his publisher, he was diagnosed with Parkinsons Disease.
Since then, he has received threatening phone calls from “radical 9/11 truthers” and “unidentified sources” who have violated his family’s privacy.
The Shell Game on sale since September 11th, 2009.
