As stupid as Steve Alten, NY Times best selling author, is to assume such mega handles somehow he is not working with all the spark plugs attached.

What I got from this ...

... was that Steve Alten seems to - possibly - use the handle Meg82159 in some forum. Which probably means he, or a wife called Megan, was born on 21st August, 1959.

Is that it?

This would make him or her a Leo, on the cusp. (So - watch out!! Dangeroso!!)

Errr ... Rick has read the book and thinks it's great.

However I read the synopsis (thanks to Amanda, I think it was) and it looked like utter crap.

I'm obviously missing something.

I did not read or love it

I think the "quote" was from Alten who is Meganblahblah. I will go back and add a tag so you can tell easily.

I read the synopsis as you did and understand the problems with fictionalizing for tension release that is used by Hollywood and MSM. Gee, MSM and Times Best Selling Author seem to go together. This is not being sold as a non-fiction and that should be noted by a "truth" organization. But the 911truth pushes such fictions as 911mysteries so there you go.

Meg82159

Meg82159 is derived from Steve Alten's book "MEG" and his date of birth.

If there was any doubt as to what "The Shell Game" memeplex is, watch this.

(In reply to Steve Alten's order to read "The Shell Game", I said, " When I wish to be entertained by fiction I'll watch television news programing.")

Mass Media Attack

Wow, that video was slick! There is a lot of money behind this book and the marketing. They are so intent on making people embrace the fiction and release the pressure for change to move from the government to their own fears.

No one makes a better loyal subject than one whose fear for family drives him to loyalty to the powers. What happens if they turn out the lights? Better get with the program.

That spot must have cost a huge amount. I am intrigued how they are using truthers to embrace the fiction. I guess after embracing the fictions of 911 mysteries and loose change 1, 2, 2.5, FC, FC1, FC1.4 they are used to embracing "retrospective fallacies" as truth to rally around. Look at Arnold fly to the mars, you saw it right? There is life there!
