It’s time to get out of that activism rut you and your fellow activists have put yourselves into! There are more ways to spread Truth then standing on street corners with a bullhorn. There are many things you can do in your every day life that gets the word out in easy and potentially effective ways.

Here are just a few ways to shake things up…


Deception Dollars
I take Deception Dollars with me everywhere I go. If you crumble a Deception Dollar up and leave them in grocery stores, on shelves, at gas stations between isles, on the ground, in the park, etc. people will slyly pick them up. You can watch people pick these up and quietly pocket what they think is real money. Cool thing is all those Truth websites - chock full of information is now in their hands. Another thing I use Deception Dollars for is to toss them into open vehicle windows in parking lots. I never touch the vehicle inside or out. I merely drop them through open windows. If you have teenagers with even a tiny bit of activism in their blood, give them a stack of Deception Dollars to take to school. Their friends will think they are cool and ask for them. Deception Dollars are versatile in use because they look so real to an unassuming eye.

Pre-paid Return Envelopes
We all get these with nearly every credit card offer and utility bill etc. The ones you tend to throw away can be used instead for a great cause! How? Simply insert some Truth flyer into the pre-paid envelope, lick it and send it back to the company. Real people open those envelopes. Ask your friends and family members to save their return envelopes for you as well.

Prayer Requests
Submit a prayer request at your place of worship (whether a church, synagogue, temple, mosque, etc).
Please pray for: 9/11 Truth
Comments: Please see 911Truth.org for more information (or whatever website you feel appropriate)

9/11 Post Cards
Stick these inside magazines in the checkout isle. Magazines like Star, People, Time and Readers Digest are excellent choices however, any magazine will work. They already come with lots of inserts so people expect to find them. They won’t necessarily know the publisher didn’t include yours. These post cards also fit well into Hotel/Motel tourist information brochure slots.

Bracelets
Those black (or other colored) cause bracelets are great. I wear a black one that says,
“9/11 was an inside job”.
I wear it everyday, wherever I am. Can you imagine me in a business suit with my 9/11 bracelet? I get a lot of questions about it and as we all know questions deserve answers.

The Shell Game and Other Books
Books that you have already read that pertain to the events of 9/11 can be left in waiting rooms (think doctor’s offices, hair salons, etc). Most people will leaf through waiting room books and leave them there for the next person to browse through.


These are just a few ‘out of the box’ ideas to get the word out. It takes many different angles to spread the Truth and we should do whatever it takes to get the message to those who need it.

What creative things do you do to get the word out?
