Welcome to Art Bell, Somewhere in Time, tonight featuring Coast to Coast A.M. from the 19th of September, 1996.
art bell
From the high desert in the great American Southwest, I bid you all good evening, good morning, as the case may be in your time zone of all these many, stretching from the Hawaiian and Tahitian Islands in the west, on east, across this great land, to the Caribbean and the U.S. Virgin Islands, south into South America, north to the Pole.
And thanks to our good friends in Dallas at AudioNet worldwide on the internet.
Good morning, everybody.
I'm Mark Bellin.
This is Post to Post a.m.
unidentified
And as usual, we're about to do the unusual.
art bell
I've got a different kind of guest for you this morning, surprise guest.
His name is David John Oates.
And I'll tell you all about Mr. Oates and what he studies, which is reverse speech.
Not fact masking, but reverse speech, and we'll delineate the difference here in a moment.
And you will hear examples of it by the likes of O.J. Simpson, Bob Dole, Bill Clinton, and others.
It'll be interesting.
He's got examples.
I've heard them.
and we'll get to all that that uh...

First of all, I want to just thank you for bringing everyone out here to Corneaucopia just phenomenal knowledge.
I don't know of anyone else that I've ever listened to at radio that just fills my brain and stimulates me.
You know, I was listening to the show and I thought to myself, do you think, George, the common citizen such as you or I, really has any hope towards the future of any privacy or anything else?
I think we do.
I think eventually so many people will see the light, see what you see, see what I see, that eventually they're going to say enough is enough.
And I think that we do have a future and we're going to win in the long run.
It's going to be bumpy along the way.
It's not going to be easy, but we will get there.
That's my take.
And you know what?
As long as I can continue on the earwaves and tell people this, I shall.
You're listening to Art Bell, Somewhere in Time.
Tonight featuring Coast to Coast AM from September 19, 1996.
art bell
Music All right, a very brief bio on David John Oates.
He is Australian-born, an Australian native, so he's got an accent, an Aussie.
David John Oates is founder and developer of reverse speech technologies and has been researching, reversing, I guess reversing, researching reverse speech full-time for the past 13 years.
He proposes a theory that language is twofold.
This is very interesting, forward and backward.
By analyzing speech played in reverse, newly discovered voices from the unconscious may easily be heard by a trained ear and, frankly, an untrained ear.
David's next training course in reverse speech begins in January of 97 at San Diego County and will meet one week, weekend a month that is, for a year following that.
Now, we will give out an 800 number for you as the program goes on, but we're going to begin by asking David a couple questions about what reverse speech is.
David himself has a speech impediment.
He, on occasion, stutters.
And I spoke to him, you know, I did a pre-interview earlier in the day, and I thought this was a fascinating thing.
It is indeed.
And I think that David's own speech impediment led him into study of speech, which then, well, we'll let him tell you how that happened.
David, welcome to the program.
david john oates
Thank you very much for having me, Art.
unidentified
I really appreciate it.
art bell
Well, David, how in the world does somebody begin the study of something like reverse speech?
david john oates
Well, it was a series of coincidences, really, culminating in one single event.
I was the director of a halfway house for street kids in Australia and we had an evangelist from the United States travelling through and he was claiming that rock and roll was the devil's music and if you played recording backwards you could hear the voice of Satan.
Being a typical Aussie this was rather strange.
I went home that night and I just happened to have a tape player that played in reverse and so I caught a couple of my favourite album my favourite tapes and ran them back and much to my surprise I heard at the time what I thought were fairly clear and precise phrases.
I've been in amateur radio for many years and so I've got a fairly good ear tuned to sound and I know electronics fairly, fairly well.
art bell
Oh you're a ham are you?
david john oates
Yes I am.
art bell
What is your call?
david john oates
VK5ADO.
art bell
Well I'm W60BB.
Glad to meet you.
david john oates
Oh well there you go.
Well quite seriously Reverse Beach was born in my ham shack and that's where it began.
art bell
I see.
I love ham radio.
david john oates
Oh yeah.
Well I've been quiet now for several years.
You know I've been reverse speech has taken my whole time up.
I still have my rig sitting here on my desk and one of these days I'll get my antenna back up again and get back on the air.
art bell
Well one of the days the sun cycle is going to improve and it's going to be worth doing that.
david john oates
Yeah I hope so.
I've been out of touch for quite some time.
So you know so I've got a fairly good ear tuned to sounds and you know and I've been pulling out faint sounds out of the static for many many years.
When I started to hear these things in the verse they had a real genuine ring to them.
You know the first thing I looked for was superimposed soundtracks.
I mean that's obviously the first thing you're going to check.
art bell
Sure.
david john oates
And it was fairly obvious that there was no superimposed soundtracks.
art bell
In other words something inserted backwards.
david john oates
Correct.
Yeah and some groups do do that at the recording studio level.
You know that's been a gimmick now for many years you know.
And the next thing I checked was for imagination.
You know obviously you know it's like throwing and it's like throwing an ink blood against the wall.
You know you can see anything, anything, anything.
art bell
What do you see in that?
What do you hear in that?
unidentified
Same kind of thing.
david john oates
Right, yeah exactly correct.
So what I did for the first couple of months was I transferred all of these tracks backwards that I thought I was hearing and began playing them to friends.
And I set up several blind tests.
You know, I would initially I would just play them to and backwards and ask them what they heard.
Normally most people could hear one or two words in the reversal without prompting.
It's fairly difficult to get the whole sentence without being used to the sound.
So for that reason I will normally tell people first what the reversal says.
art bell
All right.
I want to ask a question, David.
I need to understand, I guess, what the theory is.
The theory is, is it not, that we say one thing consciously, driven to say it in a certain way or certain words by our subconscious.
david john oates
Correct, exactly correct.
I'm saying that all speech forms in the unconscious mind before it becomes conscious.
art bell
Well, it does.
unidentified
Right.
art bell
I'm sure it does.
I mean, I can feel the process occurring in my own brain and track it backwards constantly.
david john oates
It's fairly common in reverse to see what someone has said forwards to appear backwards prior to them saying it forwards.
I will frequently get a complete sentence in reverse and only to see that exact same sentence repeated forwards three or four, five minutes later.
And so you are actually tracking the unconscious, mapping, mapping, mapping out the thought processes and then transferring it to the conscious.
unidentified
All right.
art bell
That makes sense.
You, as is obvious now to the audience, have varying amounts of stuttering problems.
david john oates
Have you had that all your life?
Yes, I've had it all my life.
It was extremely severe when I was a teenager.
At high school, I could barely talk.
I could barely get one, I could barely string two words together.
It's actually one of the reasons why I got into hand radio, because I wanted to overcome this, you know.
And then when I started doing reverse speech and then had to suddenly find myself doing radio interviews, I was forced into a position where I just simply had to become bold and confident and just go and take them and just go and take it and run, run with it.
art bell
All right, sure.
So that obviously, because of your interest in speech, it would lead you naturally into a direction of studying speech.
unidentified
Correct.
Correct.
david john oates
I actually have always considered to be quite ironic that I have a speech stutter because the speech reversals themselves occur in the pauses and starts to the speech.
If you ever sit down and listen to someone talk for any long period of time, you will hear their speech full of pauses and stutters and tonal inflections and errs and r's and oohs.
And we generally take most of that for granted.
But it's those very fluctuations in speech that cause the speech reversal to occur.
art bell
All right.
I guess before we proceed, we're going to hear an example of this in a moment.
unidentified
Right.
art bell
But I would like to give people your website address.
Well, I don't even need to do that.
What we can do is we've got a link up on our webpage now to your web page, and there are audio examples of reverse speech, some of what you're going to probably hear right now.
unidentified
That is correct.
david john oates
I've got at least 100 examples of reverse speech on the website.
art bell
Oh, you do?
100?
david john oates
Oh, at least that.
All right.
It's a massive site.
It's about 300 or 400 pages.
art bell
Oh, my.
That is massive.
david john oates
Yeah, it contains a lot of my research notes and a lot of my technical tests and verifications.
I've really tried to research this extremely meticulously because I knew that once the time came for me to launch this discovery onto the world, I would have to make sure that all my I's were dotted and T's were crossed because I'm expecting a fair bit of flat once this begins to hit.
And I have ample research evidence to back this up.
And a lot of that is in my website.
art bell
All right.
Fine.
My website is www.artbell.com.
And if you go up there, you will see a link to David John Oates' website.
And if you want to go directly to it, it is www.reverspeech.com.
Reverse speech being one word.
That's www.reversespeech.com.
All right, so that we all get some understanding of what we're talking about, it's going to be a crude way of doing it.
You're going to hold the phone up to a recorder, but I listened earlier and it came through.
Okay.
Yeah.
What would be your first example?
david john oates
Well, let's start off with something fairly simple first.
This is Bob Dole resigning from the Senate.
Before I play this, let me just give a brief, just give me a brief technical description.
My claim is that reverse speech is a second form of communication.
As the brain is constructing the sounds of speech, it's constructing it in such a way that two messages are communicated simultaneously, forwards and backwards.
Now, reverse speech is also complementary.
By complementary, I mean that the forward and reverse dialogues directly relate to each other.
It will either confirm what's being said forward or deny what was being said forward or it will add extra information to what's being said forward.
art bell
In other words, if somebody is lying, David, that is then denied in what's heard in reverse?
david john oates
Correct.
If someone is lying forward, you will get the truth backwards.
If someone is hiding information forward, you will get that extra information in reverse.
art bell
And if they're telling the truth?
david john oates
You will get the truth in reverse.
Like this example on the example I'm about to play you on Bob Dole, for example.
You hear him resigning from the Senate.
So why don't I play that and have your listeners listen very carefully to what he's saying forward.
art bell
All right, fire away.
By all means.
unidentified
He does not lay claim to the office you hold.
It lays claim to you.
Your obligation is to bring to it the gifts you can of labor and honesty, and then to depart with grace.
david john oates
Okay, so he's saying, you know, he's got a fair bit of genuineness and passion behind his voice there.
art bell
Sure.
david john oates
So let's say what I'm going to do is isolate a small section of this and play it backwards at three separate speeds.
And I'll tell you initially what this says.
The reversal says it's an honor.
unidentified
it's an honor it's an honor it's an honor It's an honor.
david john oates
And that should, and that should have been fairly clear.
art bell
Very clear.
Yes, very clear.
So he said three times, and you did it at three different speeds.
david john oates
Correct.
art bell
To demonstrate, in other words, that it is not just a function of speed.
david john oates
Oh, right, correct.
Yeah, I do that for several reasons.
Yes, because as you vary the speed, the sound doesn't change, because all you're simply doing is reversing the syllables, you know.
I also run it at three speed too, because the sounds of reverse beat tend to sound different than normal forward speed.
As a ham radio operate, you would know the sounds of single sideband.
It sounds very, very, very similar to single sideband, because essentially what you're doing is you are removing the conscious information from speech by reversing the tape, and you're left with the sidebands of speech.
art bell
All right, well, that's very believable.
He said it's an honor, and I think that Bob Dolan, no matter what you think of him, and there are many varied opinions, but he served honorably in the Senate.
david john oates
Oh, absolutely.
art bell
And I'm sure that would have been his emotion as he gave that speech.
david john oates
Correct.
art bell
He would have been feeling it's an honor.
And that was quite clear.
david john oates
Yeah, well, these reversals are quite clear.
I mean, the most amazing thing to me is that someone hasn't discovered this before, because they are occurring as clear as this, once every five or ten seconds of speech.
Well, now, once again, it depends on the speech itself, because the reverse speech is a right brain hemispheric function.
Forward speech is left brain, and reverse speech is right brain.
So as speech becomes more emotionally charged, the speech reversals will increase quite dramatically.
So you could have a left brain situation like a public media broadcast or a politician speaking and you may only get reversals once every 20 or 30 seconds.
But as soon as you go into normal, relaxed conversation or highly emotional speech, they will increase quite dramatically.
And we've done many tests, for example.
I've just run a tape backwards and I've just noted the percentage of speech reversals that occur in any given timeframe.
And you can get a fairly good indication of what type of speech it is coming from without knowing what from the forward.
art bell
Oh, that's fascinating.
All right, why don't we do one more before the bottom of the hour?
david john oates
Okay, well, actually, I just queued up a famous soundbite.
I actually moved on to another one.
This is Neil Armstrong taking his famous first words onto the moon.
Obviously, a very highly emotional situation.
All right.
art bell
All right, Neil Armstrong.
david john oates
Neil Armstrong walking on the moon.
Oops, I'm sorry, my computer just glitched for one second.
art bell
All right.
david john oates
Get that back in.
art bell
All right, this is coming off a computer then.
david john oates
Correct.
art bell
All right.
david john oates
Yeah, correct.
I've got the two computers here, and I just draw on them all depending on what I have to do at the time.
unidentified
Okay.
art bell
Okay, would you believe?
david john oates
Neil Armstrong will not speak to us.
So let's try it again.
Okay, I've got it going now.
I just had a little glitch.
unidentified
All right.
That's one small step for man.
One small leap for man.
david john oates
Okay, now, when he says it's famous for his words, that's one small step for man, Backward that says man will spacewalk.
unidentified
Ooh!
art bell
Really?
unidentified
Let me hear that.
art bell
Oh my God.
unidentified
Be respectful.
Be respectful.
art bell
Oh, there's no doubt about it.
david john oates
And that's fairly clear, too.
And that is a fairly logical expression of his thought at the time.
As he stepped on the surface of the moon, he's obviously thinking about the future of humanity in space.
art bell
Can I continue?
May I, David, ask you to do one, make a request, special request.
Neil Armstrong made a statement in the White House, I think about a year ago, which was a very famous, very intriguing statement about going to places that will amaze us when the false veils are lifted.
david john oates
Oh, yes.
I've been trying to get hold of that speech, actually.
Oh, all right.
art bell
We'll see if we can find it for you.
But if you, boy, would I love to hear what's in that one.
All right.
david john oates
I have got so many mysteries for you guys.
I've been doing this for 13 years.
art bell
I understand.
David, hold tight.
David John Oates is my guest.
Reverse speech is the topic.
unidentified
We'll be right back.
You're listening to Art Bell somewhere in time.

art bell
Well, this certainly is fascinating.
David John Oates is my guest.
The subject is one you probably haven't heard about before.
Reverse speech.
unidentified
I mean, if we don't do it, who will?
art bell
More in a moment.
This is amazing stuff.
And David, I know you're listening online.
Get that Armstrong thing out again.
I've got to hear that again.
That was incredible.
unidentified
That was incredible.
You're listening to Art Bell, Somewhere in Time.
Tonight featuring Coast to Coast AM from September 19, 1996.
art bell
Coast to Coast AM Back to my most fascinating guest.
David John Oates believes reverse speech is, in fact, a message from the unconscious, our unconscious minds.
That if we are lying, the truth is revealed in reverse speech.
If we tell the truth, the truth is confirmed in reverse speech.
And there's every reason to believe that that's a pretty good theory.
That our subconscious minds drive what we say in both directions.
And there have been a couple of pretty good examples.
And David, if you wouldn't mind, I was so impressed with that Neil Armstrong thing.
Would you play it forward then, Rivers, again one more time, please?
david john oates
Sure, here it is forward coming up.
That's one small step for man.
unidentified
One stamp leaves per man.
david john oates
And now coming backwards, man will spacewalk at 3 speed.
unidentified
Man is grateful.
Man is grateful.
Man is grateful.
david john oates
And there's a very interesting thing about this example too, is Neil Armstrong actually had a pre-prepared script to say.
He was supposed to say that's one small step for amen, but he got his lines wrong and said it's one small step for man instead.
Now, had he said his prepared script, that speech reversal would not have occurred.
So it's my contention that his unconscious mind automatically switched his speech just prior to him speaking to it, so the reversal could appear.
art bell
But you know, I don't know if it relates, but of course I do nothing but talk for five hours.
And I have noticed that there are many times that in my mind I'm always a little bit ahead of what my mouth is doing.
unidentified
Right.
art bell
And I'm considering my next sentence or whatever, and there are many times when I will suddenly, no, I meant to say one thing, absolutely, absolutely, something else comes out.
david john oates
Oh, absolutely.
It happens all the time.
How many times have, you know, you've been talking to someone, for example, and you're thinking something, you are just about to say that, and then the other person in the room says it before you say it.
unidentified
Oh, yes.
david john oates
Because see reverse speech is a communication process.
We are all receiving the reversals of others all the time and I maintain that is a lot of what human intuition is all about.
We just get a gut sense.
We know and feel there's more to what's being said than what's been said.
And it's very common in reverse to see entire conversations backwards.
People are actually communicating in reverse.
It's that second form of communication.
art bell
David, the politicians are going to have you killed, you know.
david john oates
This will change the whole face of not just politics but the whole face of civilization once this hits because it essentially means the human mind is no longer private and every secret that has ever been hidden is stored on tape somewhere back in the archives.
People are going to go crazy because this will quite seriously propel society into a whole new age of truth and honesty because we now have no choice.
art bell
All right, let's move to somebody who might thought to be not telling the truth.
And of course there was great controversy about the O.J. Simpson trial.
unidentified
Right.
art bell
And I watched every minute of that trial or very nearly so.
I'm telling you I was glued to it.
And so this is of intense interest.
And you have some reversals, so to speak, on O.J. Simpson, don't you?
david john oates
I have some stunning reversals on O.J. Simpson.
O.J. Simpson is, I love doing his reversals.
He's so incongruent.
It makes you laugh, you know.
So let's start off with one.
This is pretty much, this is a fantastic example.
Considering what I'm saying about reverse speech as simply that now all we need to do to find out what someone is thinking is to record this speech and run it backwards, listen very carefully to what OJ is saying forwards in this next example.
art bell
Okay, here we go.
unidentified
The worst thing you can have, that you can ever have, is have your argument tape.
I would say, anybody out there that's married or that's in a relationship, just throw the tape recorder on, the next time you have an argument and play it back.
You will not believe that was you.
art bell
Maybe you should have said play it back backwards.
david john oates
Yeah, right.
I'll just play that one four section forwards again because that's how I've got it queued up in my computer.
So just listen to his forward words again.
Just play it back.
You will not believe that that is you.
art bell
All right.
unidentified
Turn a tape recorder on the next time you have an argument and play it back.
You will not believe that was you.
And backwards, he says, I skinned them all.
And I skinned them all.
I skinned them all.
I skinned them all.
david john oates
And what I want to do now is just play it forwards and backwards, forwards and backwards at the precise point where the reversal occurs.
And he says, oh, just turn a tape recorder on next time.
And that is the exact word that caused that speech reversal to occur.
So here it is, forwards backwards, forwards backwards.
unidentified
Just turn a tape recorder on the next type.
Not skin tomorrow.
Just turn a tape recorder on the next type.
Not skin tomorrow.
david john oates
And there's O.J. Simpson.
quite stunning stuff, hey?
unidentified
Yes.
david john oates
Yeah, I've been dying to one of...
I would love to do that.
art bell
I would love to see that.
david john oates
Yeah, I think that would be quite an amazing TV special.
art bell
Yes, well, he's busy now.
He's going back to court again.
unidentified
Yeah.
david john oates
Okay, so let's do some more on OJ, okay?
unidentified
All right.
art bell
Oh, absolutely.
david john oates
Yeah.
One of the things you see in reverse speech is past conversations repeated.
For example, if I'm telling you something I said to someone a week ago, the unconscious mind accesses that event, and if what you're saying forwards is not what was actually said, the speech reversal will say in essence what the real conversation was.
So in light of that, this is AJ talking forwards about what a lovely, compassionate man he is towards Nicole.
unidentified
When she had some very emotional issues with the men that she was involved with, she came to me.
I don't think a woman would do that if she felt that this person was insensitive or abusive and certainly not jealous or possessive.
david john oates
And now we'll play it in reverse, and he says, damn your lust, never see lovers.
art bell
Wait a minute, wait a minute.
Say that again.
unidentified
Fabulous.
Never see lovers.
art bell
No, no, I'm sorry.
unidentified
Canulus never see Volvades.
Canulus never see Volvades.
art bell
All right, David.
I missed it.
When you said what that was going to be, I missed it.
david john oates
Oh, I'm sorry.
Okay, let's get back.
unidentified
No, no, no, no.
art bell
In reverse, what is it saying?
david john oates
Damn your lust, never see lovers.
art bell
All right, now give me the reverse playback of that again.
unidentified
*Evil music plays* Damn your lust, never see lovers.
david john oates
That's right.
Now let's do another one on the same vein.
This is actually on my second computer.
And this is another conversation that he's repeating with Nicole.
Let's just cue this one up, and we'll run it forward first.
unidentified
Okay.
One, because at one point I couldn't speak.
I wanted to speak on the NBC.
And that is the only avoided interview.
david john oates
And backwards, he says, where are we?
Damn it, you see men, I give snow.
In this case, snow being a street term for cocaine.
art bell
Okay, now so damn it, you.
unidentified
damn it.
david john oates
You see, men, I give snow.
unidentified
is snow a street name for cocaine now I'm at the end of the evening I'll get to the end of the evening And there we go.
david john oates
And we'll just do that in one more speed again.
unidentified
There we go.
art bell
Okay, I heard that.
Not as clearly perhaps as some of the others, but it was discernible.
david john oates
Yeah, okay.
Okay, so let's look at some more in O.J. Simpson.
Reverse speech has a fairly peculiar complementarity.
What you're saying forward will generally relate to what's been saying in reverse.
So in light of that, here he is talking about the American institution blocking him from making some money.
unidentified
So here it is, forwards.
I've been a good American.
I'm just as innocent as any of them.
I should have the right to support my family and earn a living.
And they have been blocking me or attempting to block me in every other avenue.
david john oates
And backwards, he says, he cowed when you missed your aim.
He cowled my bayonet.
And what he's reliving is Ron Goldman blocking him from his knife swing.
So here he is.
This is actually a fairly long reversal.
He cowled when you missed your aim.
He cowed my bayonet.
unidentified
Right.
Huh.
art bell
All right.
David, question.
david john oates
Yes.
art bell
Two of them, really.
One, does reverse speech exist in foreign languages?
david john oates
Yes, it does.
I am currently training a student from Germany right now.
What we are finding is that the reversals are occurring in the language that you are thinking in at the time.
So if you are speaking in English, but thinking in German and translating, the reversals will be in German.
unidentified
Wow!
art bell
Now that's really impressive.
unidentified
Yeah.
art bell
That's really impressive.
Now, it must be tough for you because you can't be conversant in all these languages.
david john oates
We actually have quite a problem now because my German student is currently lecturing in German, Germany this week, and we're getting a fair bit of interest from there.
And so I have a problem on my hands because I have to go there next year to teach a training class.
And I don't speak German.
I'm going to try to coordinate with her and with her and myself.
art bell
All right, now have you studied yourself?
You're an interesting case because you do have a speech impairment.
All right, you stutter.
So does that affect the reverse speech in any way?
david john oates
Well, surprisingly enough, when I have my speech stutter, which is my speech impaired dement, I have very few reversals on my actual speech impaired dement.
But when I speak normally, you know, and I have the normal stutters and pauses that everyone does, that is where you'll find the reversals.
Yeah, and I've been doing my speech for 13 years.
It can be a pretty scary thing, you know, because we tend to live in a world of denial and create our own reality, what we think is real, and then to suddenly be confronted with your own voice.
art bell
All right, well, listen, let's move on and do another one.
Anything that you think is interesting from your files?
david john oates
Well, why don't we move on to some of the JFK assassination, Lee Harvey Oldwood?
Would you be interested in that?
art bell
Oh, I would indeed.
david john oates
And then after that, what I'd like to do is have a look at children, because one of the fascinating things I've discovered is that children are speaking backwards before they do forwards.
And language actually begins in reverse, before forward language begins.
unidentified
No, kidding.
art bell
All right, all right.
david john oates
So let's look at, we'll just look at a couple.
First of all, let's look at the live commentary of the President Kennedy assassination in Dallas, Texas.
This is a fascinating example because, like the Neil Armstrong, it's live and on the spot.
So this is actually catching his actual thoughts as the shooting was occurring.
And see, here we have it forward first.
unidentified
Barton Hospital has done a shooting.
Barton Hospital has been advised to stand by for a severe gunshot wound.
Suppose this car is now going past, please.
david john oates
Okay, and one small freshness of it.
Backwards says he's shot bad.
Hold it.
Try and look up.
He's shot bad.
Hold it.
Try and look up.
unidentified
Wow.
david john oates
while it sure does all there And that is his immediate logical thought that time.
Stop everything, look around.
What can you see?
art bell
Yes, that was quite clear.
david john oates
Yeah, that one's quite clear.
Well, see, that one was live and on the spot, too, you know, and some of the trouble with the O.J. Simpson ones is that he's on TV.
And, you know, he's like most people who are on the media, they tend to be a little bit nervous, and they switch into left brain.
Here is Lee Harvey Oswald.
Here he is being interviewed on radio two weeks prior to the JSK assassination.
Now this is actually quite a fascinating example.
So let's, and then I've got one on him just after the assassination.
So, here are you two weeks prior, first of all.
unidentified
"The sergeant, I did live for a time in Soviet Union.
It gave me excellent qualifications to repudiate charges in Cuba." And the fair place of the Cuba Committee is communist control.
The Fairfax of Cuba Committee, as the name implies, is concerned primarily with Cuban-American relations.
art bell
Boy, I can barely get that one forward.
david john oates
Sorry?
art bell
Really?
Yeah, That was hard to understand forward.
That was a poor audio clip, I guess.
unidentified
Huh?
david john oates
Yeah, it sounds quite clear here.
It could be the phone lines.
Well, let's play the reversal and see if you can hear it anyway.
We've got two reversals on this section, and one of them says, here then, wish to kill president, and the other one says, Oswald angry.
So you'll hear both of them together.
He is a wish to kill President Oswald Angus.
unidentified
Reckoning a person.
I'm not changing.
The laboratory criminal president.
I'm not changing.
The laboratory criminal president.
I'm not changing.
Was that clear or not?
art bell
It was as clear as the forward.
unidentified
Right.
david john oates
Okay.
Let's try one more on him and if it doesn't work, we'll move on to someone else.
We've actually done quite an extensive study on the can of the assassination reversals on most of the key players.
So here he is being interviewed just after the assassination.
unidentified
These people have given me a hearing without legal representation or anything.
He said the president, I didn't shoot anybody, not just fighting.
david john oates
Okay, we'll try this backwards.
He says the killer was careful.
unidentified
Yes, you know, I understand.
david john oates
Was that clear or not?
art bell
No.
No, I couldn't verify that that's what I heard.
david john oates
Yeah, okay, no, that's fine.
It's a radio in TV way back then.
Okay, well, look, let's move on to kids, okay?
And when I first wrote my theory of reverse speech, I wrote it in April of 1987, that essentially states language is twofold.
And in July of 87, my wife at the time gave birth to twin girls.
And I was not too sure what I was more excited about, the girls or a brand new research project.
So from the moment they came home from hospital, I began to tape them.
From as early as four months of age, I was finding simple single word backwards.
art bell
How to have little microphones stuck in their little faces.
unidentified
Exactly correct.
david john oates
And it's quite fascinating that you should say that what you just said because the example I'm just about to play you is when they were seven months of age and I was chasing them around the room with a tape player.
Yeah of course and one of the kids suddenly noticed the tape player and she reaches out for it with interest.
And so here is this sound forwards when she suddenly realised Dad had a tape player trying to get her to speak into it.
unidentified
All right.
and back when she says what's that uh...
art bell
Oh God, that's fascinating.
david john oates
Yeah, now that's fairly clear.
art bell
Oh, that's fairly clear as right.
david john oates
And the kids' reversals are just great.
I love kids' reversals because as I find out, as people age, their reversals tend to get less and less clear.
But when they're young, they are just so crystal clear.
It's just amazing.
art bell
Well, no, wait, no, wait.
We're here at the top of the hour, so we have to pause again.
So stay right where you are.
I wonder what that would come out like in reverse.
My guest is David John Oson.
We're talking about reverse speech.
What's that?
Man, that was really clear.
unidentified
The trip back in time continues, with Art Bell hosting Coast to Coast AM.
More Somewhere in Time coming up.
We'll be right back.
If you could take my place, I just don't want to take your place.
Get hurt by the little things like me.
I can put my back on your bed.
When it's alright.
I can put my back on your bed.
I can put my back on your bed.
Premier Network presents Art Bell Somewhere in Time.
Tonight featuring Coast to Coast AM from September 19th, 1996.
art bell
My guest is David John Oates.
He, for 13 years, has been studying reverse speech.
And it is trippy, let me tell you.
Reverse speech.
In other words, simply playing somebody's speech, certain portions of it, in reverse.
The contention being the subconscious mind drives in reverse certain things to be said that are not said when you listen to it in a forward direction.
Examples, stunning ones from Bob Dole, Neil Armstrong, Leah Harvey Oswald, to a lesser degree, but still very stunning, O.J. Simpson, and most recently David's daughters, and I know he's on the line, so David, cue the one on your daughter up again.
That one was really a trip.
We'll replay that one.
David has a speech impediment himself.
He at times stutters.
That obviously led to an interest in speech.
We'll get back to David in a moment.
You're going to find this really fascinating.
Believe it or not, it sure is fascinating.

Give me your perspective on where you think this is heading worldwide.
Is this all leading to a one-world government, a new world order, in order to contain what could very well be a planetary-wide uprising?
Well, yes, the governments are preying on the poor people.
You know, in most countries, the government is usually controlled by wealthy people.
You're seeing very much the situation that's set up to create a violent overthrow of countries.
You're listening to Art Bell, Somewhere in Time.
Tonight featuring Coast to Coast AM from September 19, 1996.
art bell
Back now to David John Oates.
And the last one really blew my mind, David.
It was your daughter.
And you say you have twins?
david john oates
I have twins.
art bell
And so being into the hobby you are, I guess a hobby now turning into a business?
david john oates
Oh, yes.
Well, I've been doing this for a living now for 10 years.
10 years.
I actually have quite a thriving practice in Sandy Ago, where I use this in therapy and counseling.
unidentified
All right.
art bell
Well, all right.
So you being so interested, and I know about being compelled to do things, I'm very much that way myself, followed your little daughters before they could speak, putting a tape recorder in their little faces and recording their sounds.
And if you would give us that example one more time, I mean here you were chasing them around the house with a tape recorder, putting in their face.
So what you hear in reverse is so logical that it gives you the heebie-jeebies.
This was before they could talk, folks.
Now, play it forward.
david john oates
Okay, this one was at seven months of age, and she was actually reaching for the tape player.
And the noise she makes is when she actually saw the tape player and reached for it.
unidentified
*crying*
david john oates
And backwards, she says, what's that?
unidentified
I'm scared.
I'm scared.
I'm scared.
art bell
And we should tell everybody, we play that in reverse at three separate speeds.
Now, somebody is asking a question from Indiana, Lafayette, Indiana.
Your art, there is no way the examples of reverse speech can be obtained by simply reversing the speech.
There has to be some other extensive processing.
What is that?
In other words, he's hardly believing his ears, and he believes you're processing this.
david john oates
No, I'm not processing this at all.
This is just straightforwards and backwards.
And if anyone would like to take this program and take the examples and go and put it on their computer, on the sound, and most computers you can reverse the sound, they will see that the whole, that all I'm doing is simply playing it backwards.
art bell
All right, you're not doing any speed.
david john oates
No processing whatsoever.
art bell
No echo, no.
david john oates
No echo, no nothing.
This is just straightforward and reverse.
art bell
All right.
david john oates
Yeah.
art bell
All right, and again, the contention is, if somebody, for example, is lying, the truth will be revealed in the reverse speech, which is going to make the politicians kill, David.
david john oates
Don't say that too loud, please.
I have a little bit of fear about when this thing launches.
Well, I'm launching now.
I decided six months ago that it was time to finally get this thing out.
I've been sitting on it for so long, you know.
art bell
Well, David, it's well-grounded fear.
unidentified
Oh, absolutely.
david john oates
It's well-based in fact.
And see, too, it's been well documented for years that the brain has reversing functions.
Like, sight, for example, is reversed before it's processed by the brain.
We have a condition of dyslexia where speech is reversed.
The left and right brain hemispheres mirror each other.
Chinese philosophy talks about the yin and the yang.
You know, the whole of creation is surrounded with opposites.
In point of fact, I actually think it takes more faith to believe that this doesn't exist than it does exist.
It's so logical and so natural.
And it's like any new theory that hits the planet.
The world is round.
I mean, how can you say that?
You'll fall off, you know, or the horseless carriage or whatever you want to think about.
Whenever any new discovery hits the face of the planet, we go, oh, no, that's crazy.
That can't be true.
And it's simply because it's outside of our realm of experience.
And the whole speech falls into the same cad degree.
art bell
It's true.
All right.
Let's try another example.
And again, I'm depending on you to pick out the ones that you find.
david john oates
Well, let's look at a couple more kids, okay?
Because kids are so clear, you know?
art bell
All right, all right, fire away.
david john oates
Here is my child.
I think she's 10 months of age, and she's sitting on my lap.
I'll play it forwards first.
alright And listen, this one's so clear.
I think you better hear this without me telling you.
Run it backwards at three speeds.
So very carefully, you can tell me what you hear.
art bell
All right.
unidentified
Daddy looks nice.
Daddy looks nice.
Daddy looks nice.
david john oates
What did you hear there?
art bell
Daddy loves something.
david john oates
Daddy loves mum.
And what you heard, the mum normally confuses people because it's the Aussie accent.
It's not Daddy Love Mom.
It's Daddy Love Mum.
unidentified
Let me play it again.
art bell
Your accent.
I understand.
Play it again, please.
david john oates
Here, here.
unidentified
Here, this is straight backwards with three speech.
Daddy looks like.
Huh?
Daddy looks like.
Huh.
Daddy looks like.
art bell
Yes, yes, I've got it.
And it is necessary to adjust for the accent.
david john oates
Correct.
art bell
She, of course, is listening to you, and her speech patterns are forming around you naturally, of course.
david john oates
And see, that's one of the great convincers about reverse speech as well, because you do hear accents in reverse.
It's quite easy to pick out an American or an Australian because the accents become very pronounced.
Once you get used to the accent of reverse speech itself because it's got this melodious sing-song tone to it, you know, and it tends to take...
And they're quite fast, you know, they're normally only one or two seconds long and they frequently occur in the high tones of speech.
And I think it's probably one of the reasons why it hasn't been discovered before, because it's like learning any foreign language.
You've got to sit down and get used to the intonation and get used to the words.
art bell
Well you pointed out earlier, we're both ham operators.
Listening to single sideband is a lot like that.
You've got to get your ear attuned to it.
It's true.
david john oates
Yeah, right.
And reverse speech is exactly the same way.
Let me do one more on kids and we can move on to some celebrities.
It depends on how long we've got.
One of the fascinating things about reverse speech, I'm currently only playing you fairly straightforward, simple examples of normal, forward, what are fairly logical stuff.
By far the greatest proportion of reverse speech speaks in metaphors or archetypes.
More than 90% of reverse speech language speaks in pictures and images because this is how the human mind at its deepest level processes.
And when we get into the metaphors of reverse speech is when the real power comes through because at the deepest levels, reverse speech is describing how human behaviour is formed and how personality is formed.
And the breakthroughs that it can offer in therapy are just mind-blowing.
But anyway, here's another one on kids.
This is, I think it's 14 months of age.
I just moved them from one room to another.
I was actually setting up a table to record, you know, and I just moved the kids from the lounge or into the kitchen and they were sitting around the table.
And you'll hear me shuffling papers in the background and then one of the kids makes quite a loud noise.
unidentified
Here it is.
david john oates
Okay, and that was a simple sound forwards and backwards it says, I now come here.
unidentified
huh, jeez!
art bell
Oh, yeah, quite clear.
david john oates
Yeah, that's quite clear.
And one of the things we see in reverse speech is the young mind processing and sorting out information.
This is a tree.
That is mum.
That is dad.
I've just moved from this room to the next room.
And what reverse speech can offer child psychology is just, well, it's just mind-blowing because we can now have a way to trace the cognitive processes of children as they grow up.
I do a lot of work with kids and I've had a couple of kids being brought to me who have been in fairly traumatic experiences and one of the problems facing child psychologists is what is this kid thinking?
I mean what is really going on inside this child's mind?
art bell
Sure.
david john oates
Reverse speech goes straight to it.
I mean you know exactly what they're thinking and exactly what they're feeling.
art bell
All right what have you got in good celebrities?
david john oates
Oh good filly.
I've got some great ones.
Let's go to Whoopi Goldberg first.
Here she is going to cue this one out.
Here she is talking about her latest movie and she's asked why anyway so let's play.
This is just coming online now.
Yeah I tend not to get into celebrities and politicians all that much quite frankly because most of my work is spent in my practice and I normally have the TV going in the background and if some interesting sound click comes on I whack it on.
So here's Whoopi Goldberg.
unidentified
How much fun was this film then to do?
Well it was a lot of fun you know because I got to play with all these guys.
david john oates
And this is a fairly long one but you should be able to pick it out now.
She says, see all the wealth that I got.
I suck the money.
See all the wealth that I got.
I suck the money.
unidentified
"You've also got a jack of money." "You've also got a jack of money." And that one should have been fairly clear.
david john oates
And anyone who knows Wilby Goldberg is going to know that's fairly typical of the and I have just lost my sound program and here it comes after me.
unidentified
Yeah.
david john oates
So that one was fairly clear too.
And see I need to stress these things are happening once every five or ten seconds of beat as clear as that.
And, I mean, it's a monumental find.
It's a monumental discovery.
And I firmly believe it's going to...
Correct.
art bell
Can you name which wire service that is?
david john oates
Gee, Wiz.
I don't know if Ten.
I know my publisher is listening to this night.
He might like to call in and let you know.
I'm not too sure.
My book's coming out in six weeks' time.
In point of fact, I've got four, I'm releasing four books for the next year that release all my findings.
And we've already contacted the wired services.
They have agreed to carry the story.
Maybe I'd like to put out my 1-800 number if anyone wants to buy the books, by the way.
art bell
Absolutely.
david john oates
So 1-800-231-1776.
That's 800-231-1776.
And you can get an advanced copy of the book.
Also, A Strange Universe filmed a special on Reverse Speech this week.
art bell
Oh, they did.
When will that air?
david john oates
That's going to be airing in about two weeks.
I don't have the exact view date yet, but they were up here for several hours.
art bell
Matter of fact, I saw Strange Universe earlier tonight.
They did a bit on the chupacabra that I was interested in.
And about a half hour prior to airtime.
All right.
Well, what else have you?
david john oates
This is Tom Cruise after his latest, after his last movie, talking about Mission Impossible.
I'm trying to keep these fairly tame.
You know, if I play some of my rough examples, I could get into a fair bit of trouble.
This one's bordering on the line just to touch.
So here he is talking about Mission Impossible.
i want my speakers Okay, we're going to try this one one more time.
We've got some slight technical glitches here.
unidentified
Just proud to be part of it right now.
I can't control what happens if this thing.
david john oates
We missed the beginning of them.
I'm just proud to be a part of it right now, is what he says.
Forwards and backwards, he says, I'll be vain.
art bell
I'll be vain.
unidentified
Ah.
david john oates
There we go.
And so you watch Tom Cruise over the next few weeks and months and just see how his demeanor changes.
And that's another thing that reverse speech does.
It has a whole category of reversals that I call future tense reversals that accurately predict what is going to happen over the next few weeks and days and months.
Because the unconscious mind, which has a wealth of knowledge, can with great accuracy predict what is going to happen in the future.
Some of my advanced studies with reverse speech indicate fairly strongly that a lot of what we call ESP, for example and intuition, psychic ability, is actually us hearing and responding to the reverse phrases.
art bell
At the subconscious level, so it manifests itself as well.
I understand.
All right.
david john oates
Let me move on to something a little bit different, okay?
Let's look at communication in reverse, because reverse speech is a communication process.
We are constantly having conversations forwards and backwards.
So I'll just lead into this slowly at first.
This is me conducting a session with a client who's attempting to give up cigarette smoking.
And partway into the session, I'm wanting to know her age.
So you'll hear me start to ask a question.
And before I can finish the question, she actually chips in and asks and answers it for me.
How long is it smoking?
unidentified
Since I was 17.
I'm 47.
david john oates
Okay, I'm just going to play one small session to pause again.
My sentence, where I said, and your.
And backwards it says, how old?
unidentified
How old.
Hm.
How old.
How old.
david john oates
So what I'm going to do now is I'm going to play the soundtrack forwards again and I'm going to splice the reversal right in the forward track.
So you'll actually hear the reversal mixed in the forward dialogue and you'll hear how she directly responds to my speech.
That's fine.
unidentified
Go ahead.
Yeah.
I will have a report.
In 2017, you are always...
I'm 47.
david john oates
You can hear that.
That's a very simple example of a conversation backwards.
Well, that's quite a simple one.
Let me play another simple one and we can get as complex as you want.
I've got thousands and thousands of these examples.
Every single tape I have ever analysed for the last 13 years, I have stored away with all the transcripts and reversals dumped.
I've got so much evidence to verify this is real.
art bell
All right, all right, David, hold on.
We're at the bottom of the hour here.
unidentified
Okay.
art bell
Just dig out some of your best, and we'll be back to you after the bottom of the hour.
David John Oates is my guest.
unidentified

Reverse speech.
Does it add meaning?
Is it straight out of the subconscious?
You listen.
You be the judge.
It's not manipulated.
It's simply reversed.
david john oates
That's it.

art bell
Art Bell Yesterday I had a fax from somebody who said they clearly heard their cat in a conversation, or actually another cat, who challenged their cat and kept saying, who are you?
Who are you?
Who are you?
Demanding to know, who are you?
You know, as two cats meet, it was really kind of cute.
And then the other cat said, clearly, you ugly.
Then there was a cat fight.
And it was just a cute fact to read.
But here's an interesting angle.
Dear Art, remember last night's facts from the man who claimed that he heard the cat speaking English?
Has Mr. Oates ever tried analyzing the sounds made by animals to see if there's any meaning in them?
It would be interesting, too, to compare domestic animals and pets who grow up hearing human speech with wild animals that have never seen mankind.
That's Ron in Birmingham, Alabama, and he says, by the way, here's a personal experience, he claims.
One day, one of my cats went to the back door, looked back from the door to me, and clearly said what sounded very much like out.
It was clearly not meow, it was out.
And that is, it's kind of far out, but it is fascinating.
David, have you ever researched animals?
david john oates
Well, no, not really.
I've done it occasionally.
I've been asked that question a surprising number of times in my lectures.
I haven't found anything.
I'm finding meows forwards, meows backwards, and barks forwards and bark backwards.
So I'm really, that's all I can tell you.
If they are speaking a language, then I can't translate it.
art bell
It's their own.
I've got it.
david john oates
All right.
art bell
Another fact says, come on, Art.
We're all dying to hear Bill and Hillary.
unidentified
Okay.
art bell
If you've got anything?
unidentified
Oh, what?
david john oates
Yeah, well, I have a wealth of information on Bill in particular.
I'm just having a massive debate here as to how controversial do I get.
art bell
Well, when it comes to Bill Clinton, I don't care.
david john oates
Yeah, well.
art bell
Do what you want to do.
david john oates
Let's start off slowly first.
Let me play a couple of tame examples, and then I will take a little bit of courage and get a little bit heavier.
unidentified
I mean, I've got lots of these.
david john oates
Okay, this is Bill Clinton talking about the day the an American plane was shot down just outside of Cuban waters a couple of months back.
unidentified
I remember that.
david john oates
Yeah, okay.
This is a fairly tame example.
unidentified
All charter air travel from the United States to Cuba will be suspended indefinitely.
david john oates
And backwards, he says, denounce this evil.
unidentified
Denpseable.
Oh, man, that was absolutely.
david john oates
Here's the nick.
Okay, is that fairly?
art bell
Holy mackerel, was that clear?
david john oates
Yeah, yeah, that's fairly tame.
And he's being quite congruent there.
Here he is on a campaign trail.
This was one I just jumped down last week, I think.
This is still fairly tame.
There's nothing personally incriminating here.
He's talking about an 82-year-old lady who has helped with the election campaign.
unidentified
Example.
There are a lot of people in West Virginia who embody the America I want to see.
Dorothy Slack, 82 years old, has given 1,300 hours to the Ronald McDonnell House.
david john oates
And backwards, he says, we used idiot.
Excuse me, I must start there.
unidentified
We used idiots.
Idiot.
Thank you.
all right Oh, my.
david john oates
Yeah, that's quite clear.
art bell
Yes, it is.
david john oates
Okay, let me find some stuff on Vincent Foster.
art bell
Oh, yes.
unidentified
Oh, please.
art bell
By all means.
Oh, by all means.
david john oates
Okay, and I mean, you know, I've got a whole bunch of stuff here.
You know, no one's heard these, but these have been in my files for years, you know.
Okay, here he is talking about the suicide and inverted commas of Vincent Foster.
Let me just see, systems loading up.
I'll just pick it up halfway in.
I think it's a fairly long forward section.
I'm not too sure how much I've got.
I haven't played this.
I've never played this one publicly.
We just debated here and I decided I would.
unidentified
When we were little bitty kids, he was a remarkable man, and I miss him.
The special counsel says he's going to look into that, too.
Is that fair game?
Well, I think, you know, because he had some files that were relevant to it, I think he has to look into what was there.
And whatever he wants to do is, you know, let him do that.
That's not my business, Carmen.
david john oates
Okay, and backwards he says, now this is fairly long, so I'll read it out to you.
It says, silly, silly, excuse me, silly hit, nerves are worn, they killed to stay, get out of it.
I'll say it again.
Silly hit, nerve the warn, they killed to stay, get out of it.
art bell
All right.
unidentified
Silly hit, nerve the warn, they killed to stay, get out of it.
"Sue hit, there are absolutely no one who takes you out of the system alone." "Sue hit, there are absolutely no one who takes you out of the system alone." Okay, now that one was not as clear to me.
david john oates
Right.
Let me, uh, okay.
Yeah, it's fairly long.
That's the trouble.
Let me, uh, let me just turn the treble up.
We'll do it one more time.
And see, when we get into to the long ones, it gets a bit tough.
Let's try it again.
unidentified
I don't understand the lord.
david john oates
No good there?
art bell
Well, the part that I could get clearly was silly hit.
unidentified
Right.
art bell
Silly hip.
That was very clear, and it deteriorated then, I guess.
david john oates
Right.
Essentially, while I'm getting...
art bell
I work for the County of Monterey, California as a 911 dispatcher.
And for weeks before they would allow you to begin work, they would require that you literally sit there with a pair of headphones next to a real dispatcher, a front dispatcher, and listen because, frankly, things were occurring so rapidly and you were trying to keep track of so much that your ear wasn't calibrated and you literally didn't hear things.
And so they had you sit there for weeks in training learning how to hear it.
david john oates
Right.
And that's exactly what I do with the reverse speech training as well.
It's literally sitting down for hundreds and hundreds of hours getting used to the different sounds of backward speech.
It takes a long time.
art bell
All right, for the sake of an audience that doesn't have a greatly calibrated ear, some of your earlier ones were just incredible.
You know which ones are most easily heard.
david john oates
Yeah, look, here's, yeah, I know which ones are pretty easily heard.
Look, this is the one I play in publicly quite a lot.
This is on Steve Forbes.
This is actually an example of an entire conversation backwards.
Okay?
So let's run this.
unidentified
We'll steer clear of Bill Clinton for a little bit.
david john oates
This is Steve Forbes talking about abortion.
unidentified
All right.
art bell
I want abortions to disappear in America.
I feel they're a tragedy.
unidentified
I think we can get a consensus today on banning them in late pregnancy.
david john oates
And this is a very congruent reversal.
This is when he's saying the same thing backwards as he is forwards and backwards it says her crime will rape the citizens that showed them.
It's got two words, two sentences.
So crime will rape the Citizen Show.
unidentified
I'm going to leave the Citizen Show.
art bell
That one's quite clear, yes.
david john oates
That one's quite clear.
Now listen to what the reporter says.
Now the reporter hears that and then responds forward.
unidentified
If a Republican Congress sent you legislation cracking down on abortion, would you sign it?
david john oates
And backwards he says, I now see you will show them.
So what's happened is he perceives that Steve Fawcett is being very conrunt in his statement and his reversal confirms that using exactly the same words.
He says, show them in Steve Fawcett and then the reporter says, I'll now see you will show them.
art bell
I've got you.
unidentified
And now I see don't show them.
And now I see don't show me.
And now I'll see don't show them.
art bell
I don't know, that's quite clear.
And it's interesting that you're able to demonstrate it in three separate speeds in reverse because it holds together.
david john oates
Correct.
Correct.
It does hold together.
One of the reasons why I do it in three speeds besides that is that when you run the tape backwards, the syllable count tends to increase.
And so you have the illusion that it's running faster.
And the reason why it increases is because reverse speech uses all the subtle intonations of speech.
So I might say a four-syllable phrase forwards.
I might say, I like this book, but yet I'll put an emphasis on books, and I might say, I, and so that will actually reverse to be two or three syllables.
So the syllable count nearly always increases as we continue.
art bell
All right, David, we've got about 12 more minutes, so hit us with some of your best.
david john oates
Okay, let's...
This one got me into a lot of trouble in Australia.
I'm just going down my computer screen now and just pulling out some simple sound shirts.
This is the Prime Minister of Australia just after he won the 1987 general election.
Now, he was a bit of a character and he's actually in the Guinness Book of Records as winning the World Beer Drinking Championship.
And as part of his election campaign he swore off Alfonso.
So he wins the election and a reporter very sarcastically says to him, well how do you plan to celebrate?
And he replies forward, several cups of tea.
unidentified
So here we are.
What do you celebrate, man?
david john oates
Oh, several cups of tea.
That was, he says, used to smoke the best marijuana.
unidentified
Yeast the spike will miss a wall.
art bell
Oh, my God.
unidentified
Yosta Spike will miss.
Oh, wow.
Yeast the spike will miss a wall.
Oh, my.
Yeah.
art bell
No wonder you're here.
Did they run you out of town on a rail?
unidentified
I got in a little bit of trouble for that one.
david john oates
Yes, I certainly did.
They had lawyers scrambling on that one.
art bell
Well, look, if it says what it says backwards, and anybody can do it, and you can do it with your own computer and come up with the same results, then they can't sue you.
david john oates
That's exactly right.
unidentified
That's exactly right.
art bell
I mean, it is what it is.
david john oates
Absolutely correct.
I mean, how bold do you want me to get here, you know?
Well, I could get into a bit of trouble if I keep on going.
art bell
Well, don't get me in trouble.
david john oates
OK, we're on a 7.
No, we'll...
I'm just...
art bell
but on the other hand don't don't don't really hold back either i mean if you Here's a man.
david john oates
How many times has people out there gone into business with someone and they've been completely ripped off?
Wouldn't you love to know what your potential partner is thinking?
Now, here's a man I was going to go into business with in Australia.
And so here's a small section of our business discussion.
art bell
Yes, I agree with you.
unidentified
I agree.
That way, if we contain sole rights to the book, the channel trust.
david john oates
Now, are there point away from you publishing this book?
art bell
All right, that was not very clear forward.
david john oates
Oh, really?
art bell
Yeah, no, it was not clear.
It was muffled, and it may have been the accents, I'm not sure.
david john oates
It might have been the accents.
Let me run it backwards, see if you can hear it.
It says, I'm so full of, and you can guess the last word.
art bell
Wait a minute, I don't want to have to get...
david john oates
Right, that's fine.
Well, then I thought I would.
art bell
Yeah, we better not do that one.
Okay, we won't do that one.
unidentified
All right.
art bell
That's quite all right.
david john oates
We'll pass on.
Okay, that's what I said.
How bold do you want me to get?
art bell
Well, see, that would have him full of one of the seven deadly sins on radio.
david john oates
You're right.
But we can make a very interesting point in that, though, because referring to speech is not polite.
art bell
I understand, and I wouldn't expect it to be.
In fact, it'd reveal, I'm sure, constantly the monsters from the id.
david john oates
Oh, absolutely.
This can get pretty scary.
I've had people in my office who have seen their reversals, and they have been petrified.
I actually just won a lawsuit.
I had a client sue me after she saw her reversals, and I won the suit.
But nonetheless, it brings out the whole, it brings this, this is a very scary thing.
Because essentially, you are probing the depth of the unconscious mind and seeing your worst nightmares.
art bell
Well, do you find that people, when confronted with your playback of their reverse speech, respond usually with great anger?
david john oates
When I first began to do this, anger was intense.
I have since learnt how to present it in a way that doesn't spark anger.
But I've had some pretty scary things.
I've got bullet holes in the walls of my old house in Texas.
See, I wouldn't kick it.
art bell
I told you.
The politicians will have you killed.
david john oates
Thanks, Art.
I really like speaking to you.
art bell
Well, I mean, there just is no escape for them.
And if the truth is to be revealed, they're out of the game.
david john oates
Well, the fact is this technology is out there now.
People know about it.
And my greatest, my fondest dream is that people around the country will begin to play tape backwards.
We have reversing machines here if anyone's interested.
But the way this technology is going to go is that there is a massive world of support.
Because this is so real and the United States and indeed the entire world needs this so badly.
We have gone so far off track.
We are lying and stealing and cheating and it's just become such a part of life that we have to come back to the way of truth.
We have to get on it.
There's no other way.
art bell
Well this would do it.
david john oates
Yeah.
And this is a technology that is so simple that anyone can do it.
You don't need to be a brain scientist.
All you need to do is to buy a tape and spend quite some time learning how to do it.
I mean, I would love for there to be a debate on TV.
We've got the presidential debate coming up now.
Let's put these guys to the test.
unidentified
What are you saying?
art bell
Let's indeed get our audience involved.
And there are many, many, many, many out there with computers who can reverse speech easily.
I can do it here.
And so we will begin to have our audience collect examples.
david john oates
And let me give you some pointers on how to find it, too.
art bell
All right.
david john oates
Okay.
unidentified
Yes.
david john oates
Oh, do you want me to do that now?
unidentified
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
david john oates
Right.
Very simply.
A few pointers you need to watch out for.
For a start, it's very easy to magine into the give, give, brish.
I have five checkpoints that all my students must follow.
art bell
And they are.
david john oates
And they are.
For a start, is the syllable count correct?
Are you hearing five or six syllables?
Does it match up with what you think it is?
Are the consonant and vowel sounds clear and precise?
Is it an O?
Is it an E?
Is it an O?
Are the beginnings and endings of words clear?
Now, most general reversals will be separated from the gibberish at least by a quarter to a half a second.
You can hear a gap, just a little faint gap before the reversal begins and before the reversal starts.
Now, the real key trick though is this, is that there is a distinct tonal shift in the backward case before the reversal appears.
You will hear this monotone type sound backwards and then the tonality shifts quite dramatically and it becomes very sing-song.
And the reversals themselves have a very unique sing-song tone to them.
art bell
I heard that in many of them, yes.
david john oates
Right, and that's very similar to single-side bands for the amateur radio operators out there.
So it's really the key things is to make sure the syllable counts there.
Make sure the vowels there.
Watch for the tone to shift.
art bell
All right, David, listen, we're out of time.
Give out your 800 number again for your books.
I want you to be able to do that.
david john oates
It's 1-800-231-1776.
art bell
231-1776.
david john oates
And they can call my office direct if they wish on area code 619-732-3097.
And my website is www.reverspeech.com.
art bell
All right, and we have a link up for you tonight and for the next few days at my website so they can jump across and they can hear many, many examples of what you've been doing tonight, right?
david john oates
Oh, yeah, absolutely.
art bell
On the webpage.
david john oates
Yeah, there's at least a couple of hundred reversals there.
We have a training class starting in San Diego.
art bell
Okay, David, we're out of time.
david john oates
Okay.
art bell
We're out of time.
Thank you very much.
david john oates
Thank you very much.
art bell
It has been a distinct pleasure.
David, John Oates, and we will be right back.
unidentified
The Trip Back in Time continues with Art Bell hosting Coast to Coast AM.
More Somewhere in Time coming up.
Music.
Tonight, tonight we're going to make it happen.
Tonight, we'll put all of the things right.
in this town and show me some of that.
Thank you.
Somewhere in Time with Art Bell continues, courtesy of Premier Networks.
art bell
All right, well, good morning.
David John Oates has been my guest for the last two hours.
I'm sure there's going to be a reaction.
My fax machine is burning up.
For example, Art, my first reaction to David's research was that statistically, in anybody's normal speech, there would exist a probability that if laid backwards, there'd be audible sounds to be heard.
What sold me that reverse speech may be legitimate science is that young children have reverse speech first.
What is the statistical probability that reverse speech would be more linguistic or audible and more detectable to the pediatric mind?
Probability must be very high.
Or this.
Dear art, I'm Chris from Normal, Illinois, and I was suspicious of David's speech reversal.
So I tried it myself.
I searched the net for a wave of the moon walk.
I found one on the Apollo 11 homepage.
I figured it was high quality, non-tampered with, so went into my wave studio software and played it in reverse.
There is no doubt this is the real thing.
Now, let's determine what it exactly means.
From Chris.
So it's been an interesting two hours, and sometimes it is our job here to expose you to things you have not been exposed to before.
That's what we just did.
We'll see how the reaction sets in.
If you want to know more about reverse speech, David's website is now available through ours.
So as usual, if you go to my website, you'll see right at the top of the very first item there will be a link to David's website.
There you can hear many more examples of what you heard in the last two hours.
My website is www.artbell.com.
www.artbell.com.
No space in there.
A-R-T-B-E-L-L, Art Bell.
All right, let's look at a little bit of the news, and then we will do open lines for the remainder of the evening.
The House has overturned the President's veto of a bill that would outlaw a certain abortion procedure, the awful one.
The vote was 285 to 137.
Now, it's called a partial birth abortion, and it's horrible.
It now goes to the Senate, and there the odds are the votes do not exist to turn it around, so the president is going to have his way.
The Pentagon, incredibly, is notifying 5,000 more Americans that indeed they now have information they were exposed to chemical agents in Iraq.
And a lot of vets are really damn angry about this.
They have a right to be.
For years and years and years, our government denied that this happened.
Denied it again and again and again.
There were no exposures.
All those chemical alarms that went off out there, they were false alarms, the Pentagon said, and now all of a sudden it's so anymore.
Now, either they just got new information, if you want to believe that, I'd they covered it up.
You tell me what you believe.
The head of our CIA, besides having to contend with his web page being tampered with, boy did they hack the CIA webpage, so badly the CIA pulled their web page down in complete embarrassment,
while the CIA head was sitting in front of Congress saying, in essence, Saddam Hussein, since the strike, is stronger than ever before, more in control of Iraq than ever before, and more of a danger to his neighbors than ever before.
So in other words, the mission that could not be discerned, the objective that wasn't, has resulted in more power for Saddam and a splintering of the coalition that opposed him.
A very, very interesting story about Korea.
Not running on a lot of the wire services.
Why I don't know NBC television ran it though.
There is really something going on in Korea.
A North Korean submarine ran aground in South Korea.
It was abandoned.
They showed photographs of it on NBC.
I mean just sitting there sloshing around in the ocean.
Those who were on board, of those who were on board, and they were heavily armed commandos, 11 are dead, thought to have committed suicide when it was obvious their mission was floundering along with their submarine.
They committed suicide.
Seven more have since been hunted down and killed by the South Koreans.
One was captured alive, and you could actually hear him being tortured on NBC.
They poured four bottles of Korean liquor down his mouth, trying to get him to talk about his mission.
You could hear him screaming as they did this.
Our Pentagon believes what's going on is one of three things.
Either it was an act of terrorism, a big one, or it was a destabilizing effort, you know, trying to destabilize the South Korean government.
Or the worst fear of all, it is a pre-invasion.
The Pentagon has said, and I will quote, prior to an invasion, quote, covert agent landings would be used, perhaps before the opening artillery fire, snipers would be assassinating, kidnapping, and interrogating key personnel or hinder allied operations and lower morale.
So the Pentagon is considering this may be a pre-invasion move by the North.
The U.S. immediately issued a warning to North Korea saying the U.S. will, in fact, defend South Korea.
So I don't know where this came from, right out of nowhere, but a submarine with commandos, heavily armed commandos on board, of which 11 commit suicide, 7 are murdered, and 1 is tortured on American national TV, and the Pentagon is saying it may be a pre-invasion.
unidentified
Holy mackerel.
art bell
And while the U.S. is giving assurances that we would go back and fight for South Korea, I have always wondered at moments like this whether in fact we would.
Whether you would fight to defend South Korea.
The military will do in fact what it is ordered to do.
So I guess I'm talking more to those of you who are not yet in the military.
I'm well aware the military will do it.
They will do as they are ordered to do.
But would the American people support another war in Korea?
I don't know about that.
Well, as I told you last night, it did occur.
The Clinton administration has now scrapped plans for the first manned mission to Mars early in the next century.
They're not going to do it.
This is a major reversal.
We are not going to Mars with man.
It is reasonable to ask why, is it not?
Art, here's the facts on it.
Is it any surprise the government within the government has put the kabosh on the Mars trip?
There is no longer a cover-up in my eyes.
Now, it's simply a situation where the existing powers are saying via their actions, yeah, we know all about it, Bifon Mars, Cydonia, Roswell, alien abductions, but we're not going to tell you the details.
Deal with it.
What are you going to do about it?
Who are you going to cry to?
Nobody.
So just sit there and take it.
And that may be a bit of the kind of attitude that we're looking at.
You know who I spoke to earlier today?
Denise Marcel.
She sent me a fax.
Major Marcel's granddaughter.
You know, you really ought to interview my dad, Jesse Marcel Jr.
unidentified
Doctor, actually, he's a doctor.
art bell
And so I'm going to pursue an interview with Dr. Marcel.
He is the young boy who, as a young boy, put his hands on the crashed Roswell materials.
And I've got a contact number for him, so I am going to certainly pursue that.
The shuttle has retrieved Shannon Lucid.
She'll come home, possibly facing disorientation, less bone, about 11.5%, 20% loss of muscle, possibly a shrunken heart.
We'll have to learn how to walk on Earth again.
Meanwhile, this is the old, it's an old sick joke, but in one of the rocket boosters that fell back to ground, they found inside, rattling around, inside the rocket booster, a five-inch wrench.
I'm not kidding.
A five-inch wrench.
And NASA said, we really shouldn't be flying like this.
Oh, kidding.
I mean, an organization that is so meticulous in every other way and wears clean suits in labs and is so careful, a five-inch wrench inside one of the booster rockets.
unidentified
Holy mackerel.
Wait.
art bell
Then NBC also did a story on global warming.
And global warming I've always been a little unsure of.
I rather think this ozone hole is real.
The depletion of the ozone across our continent is also real.
Global warming I've never been as sure of.
The World Wildlife Fund, though, says with regard to geese and songbirds, that their entire existence may be threatened.
Rising sea levels may wash away habitats for these animals.
Rising sea levels.
Changes in the start of seasons, in other words, when summer begins and fall and winter and so forth, are going to begin to confuse the migratory birds.
And for example, here in North America alone, one half of the ducks could die as wetlands across America succumb to droughts.
So you tell me, do you think this is real or something cooked up by the environmentalists to cause us to spend money and begin to cripple industry?
Or do you believe it may be true and we may be doing a dangerous thing with the industrialization that we presently have?
I don't know.
I don't know about global warming.
I haven't made up my mind about it yet.
Some days I think so, and other days not.
At any rate, stay where you are.
We'll be right back.
unidentified
open lines coming up.
You're listening to Art Bell, Somewhere in Time.
Tonight featuring Coast to Coast AM from September 19th, 1996.
art bell
All right, it's going to be open lines for the rest of the evening.
There is one other thing that I think you should know.
Zachariah Sitchin has expressed an interest in coming back on the program.
So I am also pursuing that interview.
I got a call from an associate of his, and so we are trying to set up an interview with Zachariah Sitchin.
I cannot tell you when it will occur, or even for sure if, but I would say there's a pretty good chance.
Wildcard line, you're on the air.
unidentified
Hi, Art.
This is Marty in Oakland.
art bell
Hi, Marty.
unidentified
Hi, I wanted to ask a question.
You know, you had Richard Hoagland on last Friday night, and he was talking about the superconductivity.
And I was wondering if I know that certain pest control companies use liquid nitrogen or whatever, and they pump it into the walls of a particular house.
And what I was wondering is, I wonder how it would work if you used, let's say, the superconductivity and the if they somehow found a way to mix the liquid nitrogen with if they could make the superconductivity material into a powder and somehow mix it and inject it with the liquid nitrogen into the walls of a particular house or and somehow wait a minute,
art bell
I think I'm with you here.
And then you take the 440 volts incoming to your house, plug it into the wall, and your entire house takes off.
unidentified
Oh, no, I didn't want to do that.
It sounded bad.
art bell
It sounded good.
unidentified
What I wanted to do was, you know, with dimmer switches and RFI and stuff like that, the wiring in the building acts as an antenna.
Basically, I was wondering if an end application might be to somehow negate that somehow.
art bell
No, I don't think that the whole idea was to negate RFI or radio frequency interference.
I liked my idea.
You simply get this powder form and you get superconductivity around the walls of your house.
You plug in whatever high voltage you can muster.
And like Dorothy's house, without the aid of the tornado, it rises and floats in the cloud.
Clouds.
I mean, and then on a nice day, think of the view you would have.
East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
Hi.
unidentified
East of the Rockies, right?
art bell
That's right.
unidentified
And good morning, Eric.
art bell
Good morning.
Where are you?
Rochester.
All right.
unidentified
New York.
art bell
Yes, sir.
unidentified
I still can't find the Mayo Clinic.
Living here 15 years.
Anyway, you know, I admire you so much that you don't have screeners.
art bell
Well, it's just more fun.
unidentified
Yeah, well, that's what I would say.
One of the things I was like, I'll give you a complaint about your program.
Sometimes you have a little bit of a screwballs on your program.
At the other times, though, if it wasn't for you, I don't think I'd be voting for Harry Brown this year.
art bell
Well, look, my program is literally different every night.
I do an experiment with all kinds of different things from the norm that you'll hear on political elsewhere, political talk shows elsewhere, to the unusual.
And that's what I do.
I mean, you can choose to listen or not.
unidentified
No, I do listen to you all the time.
Well, okay.
One of the things I wanted to ask you was I came in late from work one evening and I only caught two minutes of the program.
And you were doing an interview with Andrew McDonald.
art bell
I've never interviewed Andrew McDonald.
So not only did you come in...
unidentified
I think you did.
The Turner Diaries.
art bell
Oh!
Absolutely correct.
I don't think that's his name, though.
Andrew McDonald?
I remember the interview on the Turner Diaries.
I think you've got his name wrong.
unidentified
No, I don't.
I really don't.
art bell
All right.
unidentified
And regardless of what his name is, when you interviewed him, after that, a couple weeks ago, I was in a bookshop, and I picked up that book.
art bell
And?
unidentified
I was just wondering, I ever read it.
You did say that you read it.
art bell
No, I didn't.
unidentified
I thought you said you did.
art bell
No, I said that I saw the interview on 60 Minutes.
unidentified
Oh, okay.
I beg your pardon then.
I'm sorry.
But you did interview.
I was just wondering what sort of man is he?
I mean.
art bell
That's why I did the interview, sir.
unidentified
Yeah.
art bell
So that you could determine what sort of man he is.
unidentified
But he only caught two minutes of it.
Well, you didn't.
art bell
All right, I see.
Well, I would suggest to you that you order a copy of that program so you can comment intelligently on it.
That was the whole purpose you see of doing the interview.
The kind of man that he is can be reasonably well discerned from the interview that we did.
That's why I did it.
So rather than give you an assessment or my assessment of the man, which I think was obvious to those who listened between lines, even reasonably carefully, forget the reverse speech.
Just check out the forward stuff.
I think it'll be very obvious.
I still think that you've got it.
He had his name wrong, but I'll have to check into that.
It was an interesting interview in a lot of ways, and I did it in the spirit that I do a lot of the interviews I do, not necessarily because these are wonderful people or even good people, just because they are people with ideas that cause other people to think.
That's kind of what we do around here, and it's different all the time.
Otherwise, it would get boring.
unidentified

Let's take the word kook.
You know, that's what that caller said.
Sometimes you have kooks on.
A lot of times, the use of the word kook, when you examine it carefully, comes from somebody who simply is suddenly being exposed to a new idea that they don't understand.
So to them, it is kooky.
That doesn't make it kooky.
It just makes it kooky from your perspective or your lack of understanding.
So that's what we do here.
Sometimes we have kooky people on.
But sometimes they're really not so kooky after you, you know, you've had an opportunity to sit down and think about it a little bit.
You start to, you're provoked and you begin to think about it, and then all of a sudden it doesn't seem quite so kooky.
I love that kind of stuff.
unidentified
You know I do.
art bell
Art thought you might find this interesting.
I normally listen to Dreamland, but due to increased business, I don't normally listen during the week anymore.
I just can't get getting old, I guess.
Anyway, there was a news bullet handed to Rush this afternoon, and it's not verbatim, but it basically says the following.
The President, Bill Clinton, announced today a new space policy that will benefit all of the people of the world.
He announced a policy to put robot space vehicles on Mars by the year 2000, thereby expanding the space program and opening up Earth to, quote, free and fair trade with anyone or anything occupying other worlds, end quote.
Easy.
I wouldn't know how to respond to that.
Then he goes on to say, or maybe he's just about to declare Mars a national monument.
Now I think about it, it was Charles Wanton.
That is right, isn't it?
Turner Diary.
Somebody else helped me out there.
Charles Wanton, I think, was correct.
A very provocative interview and worth doing because it did reveal the nature of the man.
Now, I would not attempt to render to you my impression.
I just wasn't necessary.
If you heard the interview, which unfortunately you obviously did not, you would have garnered some knowledge on the subject of that man.
Wildcard line, you're on the air.
Hi.
unidentified
Good morning.
My name is Bennett.
I'm calling from Warner Robbins, Georgia.
art bell
Well, hi, Bennett.
How are you?
unidentified
Fine, sir.
And concerning the gentleman on the reverse, well, the reverse tapes, it's like you had on earlier.
art bell
Yes, turn the radio off, Bennett.
unidentified
Oh, I'm sorry.
Apologize.
art bell
That's all right.
It's a normal thing.
When you get on the air, you hear me answer.
Turn it down the right way.
Yes, go ahead.
unidentified
Okay, take a situation where a person who is being taped, maybe making a speech, maybe a certain politician who has the, you know, a defect situation like he's a psychopath, you know, a sociopath, which almost by definition almost has no, quote, conscience.
In other words, there's no steel little voice in there.
It's going to be correct in him.
art bell
Well, actually, you've pretty well defined politicians generally.
Oh, really?
unidentified
No comments, but I tend to agree.
But you see, the point I was getting at is that if a person has such a character defect, like this, you know, being a psychopath.
art bell
Well, but reverse speech.
unidentified
No, no, no.
art bell
Reverse speech, according to everything I just heard in the prior two hours, would reveal that because it comes not from the conscious, but from the subconscious.
unidentified
Okay.
art bell
So even the congenital liar has no sway over what he says in reverse.
unidentified
Okay, I had tried to catch almost all of the program, and I may well have missed a few minutes here than there.
So I wasn't 100% sure.
art bell
Yeah, that's the whole idea.
If you tell the truth in forward speech, according to my guess, that is affirmed in reverse speech.
If you lie, that is contradicted in reverse speech.
unidentified
Uh-huh.
All right, there's obviously the key point there.
Oh, listen.
Well, thank you so much.
I've been listening for kind of about three months to you.
art bell
Well, I appreciate that.
Thank you.
unidentified
I'm delighted.
I'm a patient, and sometimes I have some furial problems with insomnia.
Yes.
art bell
Thank you very much.
Glad to help out.
I've had some insomnia problems myself from time to time.
Maybe because of the hours that I work, I don't know.
I sleep in split shifts, and that's probably not good.
You know how I got started with that?
I used to sleep solidly during the day.
And you know who I am to thank for that?
O.J. Simpson.
Because I had to see that trial.
I was hooked on it.
And so I would sleep early in the morning, get up, watch the trial that generally would start around 10, sometimes 11 or 12.
They would delay it endlessly.
And I would watch the trial during the day and then go back to sleep at night.
And I got into that habit, and I am still not out of it.
East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
Hi.
unidentified
Hello, how's it going?
art bell
It's going.
Where are you, sir?
unidentified
Ah, North Battlefruit, Saskatchewan.
Okay.
And am I talking to Earthl?
Yes.
Wild.
Holy, do you ever sound different on the phone?
art bell
Nobody ever says that.
unidentified
Wild.
Yeah, I'd just like to talk about a few things.
Like about not going to Mars there.
What do you think of that?
art bell
Not much.
unidentified
Not much?
I don't like it much.
art bell
I wanted to go to Mars.
Well, not personally, but I wanted man to go to Mars.
unidentified
Oh, definitely.
They've got to be covering up something if they don't want to go there.
art bell
Well, you know, that is one conclusion you can come to.
That there is something there that they don't want us to meet face to face.
unidentified
Yeah, exactly.
And another thing, what is this with manoeuv technology or whatever it is?
art bell
Those are little tiny, almost cellular size machines that ultimately would be able to be injected into your body, as an example.
unidentified
Wild.
art bell
And go in and fix you.
unidentified
Wild.
Okay, well, thanks a lot.
art bell
Right.
Nanotechnology.
Fascinating stuff.
We did a number of interviews on nanotechnology and what it may eventually do, and it is really, really wild.
West of the Rocks, first time callers, area 702-727-1222.
No, wait, hold it, hold it.
Alan, you just committed a sin.
You're not allowed to use your last name on the air.
So let's begin again.
It's Alan in Honolulu.
unidentified
Right.
art bell
Turn your radio off, Alan.
That's the second deadly sin.
Sorry.
Great show, you've got.
Thank you.
unidentified
I'm sitting with my cat on my sailboat in Camy Lagoon.
art bell
You're in a sailboat?
unidentified
Yeah.
art bell
You poor thing, you.
unidentified
Oh, it's great.
art bell
In Honolulu.
unidentified
God, Honolulu.
art bell
In a sailboat, you know, rough.
unidentified
I have a cat named Ra.
You watch?
This is the Egyptian sun king.
Oh.
And he's sitting right here.
art bell
Has he said anything?
unidentified
Meow.
I'm talking to you on my cell phone.
art bell
I see.
unidentified
Well, anyway, this is great to talk to you.
You've got a great show.
Let me ask you this.
Do you believe Richard Hoagland?
art bell
With respect to what?
Every word he utters.
Oh, the items on the moon.
All right.
I think that if you look carefully into it, there is something to what Mr. Hoagland says.
He spent hours and hours with regard to the artifacts on the moon, and I think there is something there.
Oh, do I believe him with regard to what's on the moon?
I believe that he is sincerely convinced by his research.
I cannot claim to be as deeply into it, nor as convinced.
The Mars research is quite clear and quite compelling.
And there's been a lot of scientific backup work done to what Mr. Hoagland has said.
He wrote a paper on life on Europa 17 years ago, for which he has been now finally really given credit in the major media.
So I guess that would be my answer.
Wildcard Line, you're on the air.
Hello.
unidentified
Yeah, hi, Art.
My name is Wes, and I'm calling from Salt Lake City, Utah.
art bell
Yes, sir.
unidentified
And I really love the music that you play on your show.
art bell
Thank you.
unidentified
And I just wanted to know what was the name of the song that you played at the bottom of the last tower.
art bell
It's called Africa, and it's by Cusco.
unidentified
Okay.
All right.
Is that an older one?
Yes.
Okay.
Now, what did you play at the bottom of this hour?
Was that also Cusco?
art bell
Yeah, that was, I'm sure you're referring to this thing, right?
unidentified
No, I was talking about the one from The Hour Before That.
At the bottom of The Hour Before.
art bell
So now you're talking about The Hour Before That.
unidentified
Yeah, it sounds like, I think it was like from one of those classic rock groups.
art bell
Sing it to me.
unidentified
It has the kind of sounds like Water Dripping.
art bell
Oh, sure, that's Pink Floyd.
Pink Floyd, yeah.
unidentified
Okay, what's the name of that song?
art bell
I'm sorry, I can't remember.
Somebody will tell us.
unidentified
Okay.
art bell
All right.
unidentified
Yeah, that was great.
Also, I was wondering, do you still deal with the people from Luprina?
art bell
Not at the moment, but they're going to be back.
unidentified
Okay, because my wife has arthritis really bad, and she is also diabetic, and we're having really hard problems finding medications for her that doesn't mess with her stomach.
And I was wondering if that Luprina would be good for her.
art bell
Well, I'll give you the number.
unidentified
Okay.
art bell
It's 1-800.
unidentified
All right.
art bell
3084565.
unidentified
6-5.
That's great.
Okay, well, I appreciate it.
art bell
All right, sir.
Take care.
West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
unidentified
Hi.
Charlie and Riverside?
art bell
Well, made it back, huh?
unidentified
Let me tell you.
Yeah, I was kicking back for a while.
Let me tell you about these idiots in Utah and their five lousy electoral votes and how intelligent Bill Clinton is.
Bill Clinton has just grabbed the environmentalist vote today.
Yeah, I know.
And helped himself in the Northeast.
I know.
And you've got these idiots in Utah.
It's kind of funny.
Here they are complaining and threatening Clinton, like, we're not going to give you our five lousy electoral votes that we've never given a Democrat in the first thing.
art bell
Well, you're not demonstrating how brilliantly environmental he is.
You're demonstrating how brilliantly political he is.
In other words, he doesn't give a rat's behind about the people of Utah.
What he cares about is votes from California.
unidentified
Well, I think it's a little bit of both.
I think it's a little bit of both.
I think Al Gore is more of an environmentalist than Clinton, and I think it shows you that Al Gore does have Clinton's ear.
But I think the interesting thing, you know, here's a complaint that a lot of people have about the way American politics works in the Electoral College.
Very small states like Utah that only have five electoral votes or six or whatever it is, basically have no voice.
I know.
art bell
I live in a state like that.
Remember Nevada.
Remember the screw Nevada bill?
This is simply the screw Utah signature.
unidentified
So, well, the thing of it is that that's a negative to our system.
So, you know, these people who are crying for the end of the Electoral College, that is a major thorn right there.
Unfortunately, we're going to be stuck with this old worn-out thing until we have another election where somebody gets the majority of the popular vote and loses in the Electoral College.
art bell
I know you were talking about the president there.
unidentified
Let me say, lastly, though, is that we have to be concerned.
You know, and this is a major difference between we liberals and you conservatives.
We are concerned about the environment and concerned about the future.
You guys are concerned with big bucks and making money, period.
art bell
You know what, I really wish that I thought President Clinton did that for environmental reasons, but you and I both know better, don't we?
unidentified
Well, you know, this is why I love Clinton Gore.
Clinton is a political animal, a ruthless political animal.
art bell
Yes, he is.
unidentified
Gore, on the other hand, is a true liberal environmentalist, and they are a terrific team.
art bell
Charlie, I actually agree with you, but Mr. Clinton's decision to do what he did in Utah didn't have a damn thing to do with anything whispered in his ear by Al Gore.
It had to do with raw politics.
Here are the votes.
I can get them if I do this, and I can do this with my signature, so let me do it.
I doubt he even talked to Al Gore about it.
unidentified
You know what?
I don't have a problem that I have with you conservatives.
You know what?
You're probably 100% right.
And basically, I could care less about it.
Bill Clinton understands that winning reelection is the bottom line.
And as far as I'm concerned, if that helps in this end as far as helping us liberals, that's fine.
Because I'll tell you what, he's been very ruthless on the other end.
He signed that welfare bill, and he signed a lot of conservative things also that made us unhappy on this end.
art bell
I hope somebody's taping you, and they'll come and play you in reverse.
unidentified
Well, I think it's good to have an intelligent, because this is one thing I'll give you Republicans credit for.
The last 20 years, you guys have had the best politicians along.
Finally, we get a Democrat that happens to be a decent politician.
And it's a major, major relief, because I'll tell you what, we've had our Dukakis's, our Mondales, and they've been nice kind of.
art bell
That's like saying, when you're talking about a decent politician, those words just don't, it's like saying a decent second story, man.
unidentified
Well, you know it's a sad story because the bottom line is that to be a politician, unfortunately, you have to have some ruthlessness to your nature.
And a lot of guys who happen to be like Jimmy Carter is a terrific guy, nice guy, but he's soft-hearted as hell.
Same thing's true with Bob Dole.
And to be a good politician, it's unfortunate, but you do have to be somewhat ruthless.
art bell
Well, the difference is, though, Charles, if you look, for example, at Ronald Reagan, there was a man with great oratory skills.
There was a man who, I think even you would agree, had the ability to project a kind of a father image.
However, what he did have that Bill Clinton doesn't have is fixed ideology.
In other words, Ronald Reagan really believed what he said, regardless of how you feel about it.
He believed what he said, and it came from a core conviction that this president does not have.
And this president is a pure politician.
He has the political skills without the ideological grounding from which to make decisions.
So his decisions are based by wetting the finger, putting it in the air, judging the direction, and heading in that direction.
unidentified
Shabbat shalom.
You're listening to Art Bell, Somewhere in Time.
Tonight featuring Coast to Coast AM from September 19th, 1996.
art bell
Back to the lines.
Wildcard line, you're on the air.
Good morning.
unidentified
Hi, Eric.
art bell
Yes, sir.
unidentified
This is George Shir up here in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada again here.
art bell
C-A-G-D.
unidentified
Yeah.
But the problem is, is they don't carry you until, I think it's 2 o'clock your time.
art bell
That is correct.
unidentified
Three hours of your show I missed.
I didn't even get to hear that gentleman talking about reverse speech.
art bell
I know, and it was an absolutely awesome, awesome program.
Now, maybe they carry more of it on the weekend.
We'll have to find out.
In the meantime, it was such an unusual, interesting interview that maybe I'll figure a way to carry it one of these nights later in the show.
In the meantime, you guys call CHED if you want to hear more of the program.
unidentified
Hey, could I ask you one question?
Sure.
I'm just curious to know what came out when that baby said, what's that, about the video recorder there?
art bell
Okay, you've got it a little wrong.
If you'll listen on the air, I'll repeat it for you.
These were infants, and I believe it was a seven-month-old, his seven-month-old child, and because he is very interested in reverse speech, he was running around the house, he had twin girls, and recording, you know, baby babble.
Baby babble, and he was holding this tape recorder in front of his baby's pretty little baby face.
And she uttered some baby babble.
But reversed, reversed, it clearly was, what's that?
In a child's voice, what's that?
You know, obviously referring to the tape recorder being held in front of the child's face.
It stood your hair right up on end.
I guarantee.
I really don't know what to tell you except that, of course, our program is new in Canada, and they're sort of, you know, trying it out on you all to see how you like it.
And so if you like it, why call them up and tell them it sure would be nice if you would carry more of the program.
If you hate it, call up and say, get that crazy man off our airwaves.
West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
Hi.
unidentified
Art.
art bell
Yes, sir.
unidentified
Hi, this is Dennis from California.
art bell
Hello.
unidentified
Los Angeles, to be exact.
art bell
Yes, sir, K-A-B-C-Land.
unidentified
Yes, sir.
Hey, I wanted to know, do you know anything about what they sometimes call sleep paralysis?
art bell
Yes.
unidentified
Can you explain some of that?
Because I thought I heard you talking about it a while back, and I didn't quite catch everything.
What do you know about it?
art bell
Well, only that it seems to be a state in which people awaken or maybe they're in that sort of twilight between sleep and wakefulness, and they're in a state where they cannot move.
They can't budge a muscle.
Even forcing themselves to try to move, they are virtually paralyzed.
unidentified
Yes, that's something I suffer with probably about three times a month.
art bell
It would be frightening.
unidentified
Oh, it's horrible.
art bell
Yeah.
unidentified
It also, at first I thought it was like the beginnings of an outer body experience.
art bell
Yeah, do you think that when it occurs, you are fully conscious or do you think you're in some sort of transitional state?
unidentified
Well, Art, I'll tell you, I am fully conscious because sometimes my eyes will be like a quarter of the way open, and if I'm laying on my side, I can see things in my room.
I can see the window or the television set or the pictures on the wall.
art bell
That would be frightening.
unidentified
And there has actually been a time, the last time it happened, where I had gone with the flow, the feeling of it, and I just let it be.
And I stopped fighting it.
art bell
And what happened?
unidentified
It's a feeling of excessive acceleration.
I felt like my feet were being propelled towards my feet.
art bell
So in other words, you felt that if you had continued to let it go, something would have happened?
unidentified
Absolutely.
And what I'm getting to is it was the time where my eyes were actually a quarter open, and I could see my hand, and I was trying to move my fingers, trying to move my hand, couldn't do it, couldn't do it.
And then I felt like I was moving my hand.
art bell
Listen, I have a newscast.
Would you like to hold on?
unidentified
Absolutely.
art bell
All right.
Sleep paralysis, huh?
We'll be right back.
unidentified
You're listening to Art Bell somewhere in time.
Tonight featuring Coast to Coast AM from September 19, 1996.
Coast AM from September 19, 1996.
Coast AM from September 19, 1996.
You are listening to Art Bell Somewhere in Time, tonight featuring Coast to Coast AF from September 19th, 1996.
art bell
We're kind of in the middle of a conversation with a gentleman, and it is with respect to the problem called sleep paralysis.
It's very real, and it's very frightening, and he has it.
And we have not finished the conversation, and so you're going to get to hear that now if you're just joining us.
What is your first name again, sir?
unidentified
It's Dennis.
art bell
Dennis.
And where are you?
unidentified
I'm in Los Angeles.
art bell
Los Angeles, that's right, okay.
Dennis, this involves waking up in the middle of the night, or sort of waking up, we're not sure which, but generally awake if you can see items in the room, not being able to move a muscle or even twitch your eye, I suppose.
And it's a frightening, frightening feeling, and a lot of people have it.
And you said something interesting that one night you decided to just sort of let it go.
Right, because a lot of times you fight it because nobody, nobody wants to be out of control.
It's a terrible feeling.
unidentified
Right, so one night I decided, okay, I'm just going to see what happens because there's always some kind of a compelling feeling that there's something else that's going to happen.
So I went ahead and just relaxed and went with it.
And there was a feeling of propulsion at an incredible rate from my head to my toes and going, I guess it would be to the west is the way my bed would face.
So it felt like I was being propelled.
And once that stopped, there is a buzzing.
When the onset of this comes, there's a buzzing that the best I can describe it is from the top of your head to about the middle of your abdomen.
And loud ringing in your ears.
And so as soon as the propelling was done, the buzzing sort of subsided.
And I wanted, I could see my hand, because like I said, sometimes my eyes will be a little bit open.
art bell
Sure.
unidentified
And I could see my hand there on the bed and I wanted to move it, wanted to move it, trying to move it, can't move it.
And then it felt like it was moving, but it was still there.
My hand was still there.
And the way that I physically felt, I felt like I had raised my hand all the way up and extended my arm.
art bell
Like it was out of your body.
unidentified
Like it was out of my body.
Yes.
And I think that what this is, is the onset to an outer body experience.
art bell
It may be.
unidentified
Yeah, and as this was happening, the buzzing in the abdomen and up to the head, the ears, the ringing, all that had increased as the arm was being extended.
the physical arm was still there.
Now, I don't know how this sounds to some of your callers, but with the array of...
art bell
There are thousands and thousands of people who have it.
unidentified
Yeah, and if there's anybody else, I'd love to hear their story.
art bell
All right, well, that's an interesting one, and I certainly appreciate your telling it.
Thank you.
That's a really strange, disconcerting thing.
And I don't know that I could do what he did and let it go.
I'm really not sure I could do that.
I'm one of those control-freak kind of people, and I don't like the feeling of being out of control.
Not one bit.
unidentified
It's frightening for me.
Somewhere in Time with Art Bell continues, courtesy of Premier Networks.
*Music*
art bell
All right, well, here's another comment on this reverse speech thing really grabbed people.
Art, this is definitely real.
David was correct in saying that reverse speech reveals what you are thinking.
I experimented with my own speech, and I was flabbergasted when I found out that when I was talking about my current relationship with a woman that I believe I truly love, I said things in reverse that were not too pleasant.
I said, right now, I just don't understand.
I guess don't want to.
Just got upset.
Her relatives.
unidentified
Oh, boy.
art bell
It was a very interesting program.
We did a program on reverse speech in the first couple of hours of the show this morning, and it was fascinating.
We had clips from the likes of Neil Armstrong and O.J. Simpson and all kinds of people, even some children, and those were absolutely astounding.
West of the Rockies, you're on air.
Hi.
unidentified
Hello, this is Bill in Edmonton, Alberta.
Hello, Bill.
I'm just calling to you to tell you that I took your advice on calling Ted on airing your entire program.
art bell
Oh, well, thank you.
unidentified
And about sleeping paralysis, is it called?
Yes.
I myself experienced it once in my life and only realized it tonight.
I was totally relaxed, lying on my side in my sleep, but I was there, and I sunk through my bed, through my floor, into the basement.
But I didn't struggle, and like your frack, someone that faxed you said, if you don't struggle and just relax, you can get up and start moving around, I did that.
It was absolutely amazing when I think about it.
This was over two years ago it happened.
art bell
Well, maybe I'll think it over, and one of these days I'll muster up the courage, should it ever occur again, to let it go.
I'm just not the kind of person that can let that kind of thing go.
unidentified
Yeah, you just have to relax.
It is truly amazing.
art bell
I appreciate the call, sir.
unidentified
Okay.
art bell
And the word to CHPD.
You know, they're experimenting with us up there, and who knows what the Canadian people are going to think of us crazy Americanos.
unidentified
No doubt.
art bell
Wildcard line, you're on the air.
unidentified
No, I just want just sleep paralysis.
art bell
Yes.
unidentified
I've suffered with this, too, and I thought maybe I was the only one.
art bell
Obviously not.
unidentified
But, boy, it is really something because you're conscious, you know what's going on, or I do, but I cannot get up.
I can't move.
art bell
Can't even move a finger.
unidentified
And it just drives you crazy because you can hear things going on.
You know what's going on, but you cannot move.
And it's the honest truth.
I just can't believe that so many people felt this.
art bell
Obviously so.
unidentified
But anyway, I just want to share that and wanted to say one other thing.
art bell
Well, before you do, have you ever let it go or have you always fought it?
unidentified
I fight it and fight it and try to get up.
And I think, well, if I can just get up, it'll go away.
So I fight it, but I cannot get up.
So I just relax and just try to stay relaxed for a while.
And then it seems like after 30 seconds, 45 seconds, then I can, if I try to move suddenly, I can see not sneaking.
art bell
You can snap out of it.
unidentified
I don't know what it is.
It's so weird.
art bell
That's very interesting.
unidentified
It is so weird.
It is so weird.
It's such a weird thing.
I feel for anybody that has it because it just drives you crazy.
art bell
I understand.
I appreciate your call.
I'll tell you something.
I saw a movie a number of years ago, a lot of years ago, called Johnny Got His Gun.
If you ever get a chance to see that movie, if it can be rented, go rent it.
It's probably the ultimate horror.
It concerned, I'm trying to remember now, I think it was during the Civil War era, but it was a fellow who was wounded, shot almost critically, and went into a coma.
For all the world to see and know, he was in a coma.
Only imagine the nightmare, the horror.
unidentified
He really wasn't in a coma.
art bell
He could hear everything going on around him.
He could hear the doctors and the nurses.
And this went on for years.
Could hear everybody around him.
And it dealt with his inner feelings as he went through this and the horror of that.
To be there and to not be there.
To the outside world, you're in an irreversible coma.
Alive and dead.
But in fact, conscious enough so you're hearing everything.
Unable to move a muscle.
Unable to open your eyes.
Unable to communicate in any way with the outside world.
And yet to be conscious and to hear what's going on.
Imagine the horror of that.
I think it was called Johnny Got His Gun.
That just came to mind.
A kind of a long-term sleep paralysis.
Wildcard line, you're on the air.
Going once.
Going twice.
Gone.
First time caller line, you're on the air.
Good morning.
unidentified
Hi.
art bell
Hi.
unidentified
Is this that Bell?
It is.
Well, oh my goodness, I'm listening to you talking to someone else on the radio.
art bell
Well, now, dear, you know the instruction is to turn your radio off when you get up.
unidentified
Well, I just did, but you were speaking with someone else as I was talking about.
art bell
That's because we have a time delay, my dear, and that's why you're instructed to turn down the radio.
unidentified
Okay, well, it's so great to speak with you.
I've been trying so long to get a hold of you.
And please wish Ramona my very best.
I think she's a sweetheart.
art bell
I will.
unidentified
Okay.
And, God, I was listening to the fellow that you had on the air a while ago, just named David John.
art bell
Yes.
unidentified
And he was talking about playing things backwards and dyslexia.
art bell
Yes.
unidentified
And as a child, from about one to three, I was extremely dyslexic, and everything I said was backwards, and nobody understood me.
art bell
You know, I wonder if dyslexics can hear reverse speech.
unidentified
I don't know.
I heard what they said.
It made sense to me.
But nothing that I said to them made any sense at all.
But it made perfect sense to me.
art bell
I wonder if a dyslexic speaking could be put into a computer and reversed, and it would make sense.
unidentified
Well, that would be interesting.
I think maybe it could.
art bell
You never know.
unidentified
But eventually I learned to turn it around by myself by copycatting what they were saying.
And I had an interesting story I wanted to share with you.
art bell
Yes.
unidentified
It would probably be more apropos on one of your ghost stories days, but a friend of mine, when we were in California, went to the Tahunga Canyon.
art bell
Right.
unidentified
And there were these little flat rocks that sat about, oh, two feet above this little pool of water, and there was a little stream that went down into the pool, and then on, you know, on its merry way.
And I had just had a very extremely traumatic experience.
I had been raped, and I was telling my boyfriend about it.
And we both were just very traumatized.
art bell
Of course.
unidentified
And suddenly every sound stopped.
It was like we were in a vacuum.
art bell
Yes.
unidentified
N um d uh usually the crickets there deafening.
Nothing.
Nothing.
And the air was in a vacuum.
And um I looked down into this little pool of water and I saw this little tiny baby, maybe nine months old with a little white dress on laying in the bottom of the water.
Now she wasn't there when we sat down there, you know, just talking and looking into the water.
And I looked off to my side and I saw two little shoes with little socks rolled neatly in them.
And I became extremely frightened and I screamed at George, George, get up, get up, I want to go, I want to go.
And he was just like mesmerized.
He was just like stuck where he was.
He couldn't think or even hear me.
art bell
Was he seeing this too?
unidentified
Yes.
But at the time I didn't know that.
And then finally I shook him and he came around.
He jumped up and literally picked me up my feet and ran up this little sandy incline and we jumped into the convertible with the top down and started driving up out of the canyon and I said, why did you carry me?
And he says, because there were snakes and lizards crawling all over your feet.
And as we were going up out of the canyon, I heard the first sound.
And it was like a clip clock, clip clock, clip clock.
And here came a man on a black horse that looked like Abraham Lincoln with the hat, the cape, all black the whole bit.
art bell
Maybe it was Abraham.
unidentified
And that was the only sound we heard.
art bell
So what do you make out of all that?
unidentified
I don't know.
I've talked to a lot of different people, and they said that I'm a sensitive, that I may have seen something from the past.
You weren't pregnant, were you?
art bell
No.
So it wasn't something from the future?
unidentified
No, I was only 16.
art bell
All right, I appreciate your calling.
I don't know what to make out of that.
I don't know what to make out of that.
And apparently you don't either.
Maybe it was just a result of the trauma that you described.
unidentified
I don't know.
art bell
What do you say about those things?
It's not yet October.
West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
unidentified
Good morning, Ark.
Good morning.
I enjoyed your guest, David John Oates.
art bell
Yes, wasn't that something?
unidentified
It really was.
It's one of the only guests I, and I've listened to a lot of your guests.
They gave me goosebumps.
art bell
It gave me goosebumps, too.
You know the one that really got to me?
I mean, there were many good ones, but the one that really got to me was a child.
The child that said, what's that?
unidentified
Yeah, and actually the first one, the Bob Dole, it's an honor, got to me.
Yeah.
The sing-songy portion of it, that's what made me uncomfortable.
You can tell the sing-songy.
art bell
You can tell when you're getting a reverse speech message.
Boy, I'm having trouble myself.
Because it is sing-songy, and yes, I clearly heard that.
unidentified
And that made me, it just about had a, I don't know, an evil ring to it.
And I don't want to, that's the only kind of, that's the only words I can come up with, or an uncomfortable, it made the hair on my arm stand up, the sing-songy portion of it.
art bell
Yes, I understand.
unidentified
Very uncomfortable.
I wonder if any of the other listeners got that.
art bell
All right, we'll ask.
What about it?
Did any of the rest of you get the same feeling?
I did.
I did.
I was a little in doubt of doing this interview tonight, frankly.
I was a little in doubt, but I was intrigued enough to go ahead with it.
And I now feel that I was absolutely correct to have gone ahead with it.
No matter what you think of it, it was intriguing, very, very, very intriguing.
And there are certain aspects of it that ring true to me.
And the one with the baby got to me, I'll tell you.
It stood there up on my arms, too, because that is exactly what you would expect a child to say.
What's that?
I mean, you're holding a tape recorder in front of its little gurgling face.
And so if it were to say something, that would be what it would say.
The natural curiosity of a child.
No, it was absolutely fascinating.
And I bet a lot of other people feel just about the same way.
You know, it's first exposure to something new.
Wildcard line, you're on the air.
unidentified
Hi, Art.
This is Mike in Kansas.
art bell
Hi, Mike.
unidentified
Hi.
Great interview there earlier.
art bell
Yeah, thank you.
unidentified
About the sleep paralysis, I used to suffer from that.
art bell
And was it as he described?
unidentified
No, my symptoms were somewhat different, although some of them were the same.
For instance, I do think it had something to do with astro projection.
I used to hear a hum and be able to actually feel a vibration at the top base of my spine in my head.
art bell
Now, you know, a medical doctor might say it's a form of sleep apnea, that your heart is skipping beats, that your blood pressure has undergone a sudden change.
That would account for the humming and the vibration you feel.
What do you think?
unidentified
I don't think so.
A couple other different symptoms I had, I wouldn't ever be able to see anything, but I could hear.
You know, like if the radio was on, I could, you know, make out what they were saying and be able to repeat it when I woke up.
art bell
Sure.
unidentified
And as far as mooding goes, it seemed like I either had a choice.
I could drift back off into sleep or I could fight it, you know.
And if I really, really concentrated on one body part, I could move that one body part, but it would take everything I had.
maybe you just have partial paralysis no I could move that one body part.
art bell
That would frighten me.
You see, though you were able to do something, he was not.
No matter how he tried, you recall he said he couldn't move.
And when he finally did get some movement, it wasn't real movement.
His hand stayed in place, and it was as though he was lifting his arm or his hand out of its physical structure.
unidentified
Well, when I first encountered this, it was very scary, but I was able, you know, like if I was laying on a couch next to the edge there, if I concentrate it real, real hard, I mean, you know, it seemed like it would take forever to do it.
I could concentrate real hard and say, I'm going to throw myself off this couch and catch myself, you know, in order to come out of it.
You know, I had to, it was such a, I wanted to come out of it so bad, but yet I couldn't, you know, move.
You know, if I concentrate real hard, I could throw myself off the couch and, like, catch myself and then wake up.
art bell
Very scary.
unidentified
One time I did remember to catch myself, landed right on my face.
art bell
All right, my friend, thank you.
I've not had sleep paralysis, but I have had the falling dreams, and I don't like those.
I don't like those at all.
I bet a lot of you have had those.
You're suddenly falling.
It's like you just jumped off a cliff, and I've never hit bottom.
I've had a couple people call me and tell me, I hit bottom and died.
I don't think I'd enjoy that in a dream.
unidentified

Quickening.
This is quickening material, and if you have children in the room, get them out.
I'm serious, get children out of the room.
I'm going to read this to you because it comes from a legitimate newspaper, the Orange County Register.
But it is, it's horrible.
unidentified
It's really horrible.
art bell
And if this doesn't exemplify what we're going through as a society right now, I'll just read it.
It's entitled, Woman's Death Caused by Explosive in Body.
A naked woman found lying along a highway near Syracuse, New York, was killed by an explosive device that had been inserted into her body.
The district attorney said, quote, this was a horrible, horrible way to die, end quote.
William Fitzpatrick said all that on Tuesday.
Carol Ryan, 42 of Syracuse, was found September 1st in Jamesville outside Syracuse.
She died at a hospital.
An explosive had been inserted into her vagina and then detonated.
Emergency workers who treated her were given counseling.
Police said they had no suspects and asked for the FBI's help.
Now, you tell me that we're not in one sick society who would do such a thing.
Was the Rock user on the air?
unidentified
Hello, Arch.
art bell
Hi.
unidentified
Hey, it's Matt from Idaho Falls.
art bell
Hi, Matt.
unidentified
KID MANDER.
art bell
Yes, sir.
unidentified
A couple things.
The reverse speech stuff was fascinating.
art bell
Oh, yes, it was.
unidentified
I was kind of got into listening to a little bit of, you know, back when the big rock music scared and all this satanic stuff.
art bell
The masking, yes.
unidentified
Yeah, that was Stairway to Heaven had a couple interesting things that were quite clear.
Yes.
But that was really interesting.
The other thing, the main thing I wanted to touch on was living out here in conservative land, I'm kind of a rarity of a lot of my friends, but I really applauded his deal to put aside some land in Utah.
And I support that.
And I also supported the, oh, he kept that New World Mind from Northern Yellowstone.
art bell
Look, I'm not totally oblivious to environmental concerns, but I can't say that I know enough about the land in Utah to know that all of that should have been put away.
I know Bryce is one beautiful place, so I wouldn't want to see it hurt.
unidentified
And back on the thing about the reverse speech, don't you think that sing-song quality, if you listen to it, doesn't it sound suspiciously like a whale song?
art bell
Yes.
unidentified
If you listen to it?
art bell
Yes.
unidentified
It's, you know, perhaps maybe, you know, scientists are going to have to look at the origins of speech going back a lot further.
art bell
I think this is going to open up a line of research.
And I really think there may be something to this.
After listening to it, and after hearing reverse speech in that sing-songy fashion, there's something about it that rings true.
unidentified
Well, like you said, the ones with little kids, you know, you listen to it and you think, oh, you know, what a bunch of gibberish.
But it was so queer backwards.
And again, that sing-songy quality to it was, boy, you know, my thought was, boy, that almost sounds like a whale song.
art bell
It's a good observation.
It's a good observation, sir.
There's a lot of things.
Thank you.
And a lot of people who tuned in late aren't going to know what we're talking about.
But it was the most remarkable couple of hours.
If you don't get the first part of the program, you really need to contact your affiliate, whoever you're listening, whatever radio station you're listening to right now, contact them and ask them to carry the first part of the program because there are many times when we do that kind of thing.
And this was one that should not have been missed.
So contact your affiliate and politely request they carry more of the program.
East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
Hi.
unidentified
Hey there, Art.
art bell
Hi.
unidentified
What's up?
I'd like to ask you if you're familiar with two different people and one organization.
I'll start with the two different people.
One is a guy named TrueX a while back that was trying to build his own rocket, put a guy in space, and I never heard from him again.
art bell
Maybe he became his own test subject?
unidentified
No, he was written up in Omni magazine and a couple other publications.
He was buying used parts from the government.
art bell
I don't think it's lawful to launch your own spacecraft.
unidentified
You know, I think that's what he ran into.
I think that's probably why I never heard of him again.
art bell
Yeah, I think that NASA actually shut down a couple of efforts like that.
unidentified
We were talking about why it has no private enterprise done that.
A caller was the other night asking about that.
art bell
Yes.
unidentified
And I just thought I'd mention his name again and see if anybody knew what happened to him.
The other person is, I'm not sure if it's male or female, but there was someone named T.B. Palwicki that wrote a book called How to Build a Flying Saucer.
art bell
There was an article that appeared on the internet, and I've got a copy of it.
It's called How to Build a Flying Saucer, and by God it tells you how to build one.
unidentified
Yeah, and I had read it like a long time ago and had stuck the copy away and didn't think very much else about it.
It's basically armchair physicist type stuff.
But there's some interesting things in there about the pyramids, and there's also some interesting things in there about relating back to the disk and arts parts, the laminated disk of magnesium and bismuth.
Really?
Well, no, not directly, but he does talk about rotating disks and mass moving in eccentric orbits.
art bell
So in other words, you related it to what we know about arts parts so far?
unidentified
Yeah, well, I went and picked it back up and read it again, and I'm not so sure if he knew what he was hitting on.
I mean, we as humans with this technology, at least I feel kind of like a gorilla trying to play a violin.
But it did interest me that the eccentric, erratic, supposedly erratic movement on the generator that this, with the last test you did, the fact that the motion, she was describing the motion.
I'd like to see that video if there's video of it because I would like to know if perhaps it's doing an eccentric all right.
art bell
Well, I'll tell you what we'll do.
Thank you.
That video, I talked to Linda Howe earlier today.
The video that was done at Redstone in Alabama is in Linda's hands.
It is being sent to me by a very fast method.
Linda just got back home.
And I will have that video in my hands shortly.
The experiment done on the materials that were sent to me allegedly from the 1947 Roswell crash.
It is a striking video, I am told.
When I get it, I am going to create some AVI files.
I can do that.
And try and get them uploaded to the webpage.
I hope they can do that.
I trust that it can be done.
Nearly anything can these days.
And I will create those AVI files and put them up there so you can all see the results of this experiment for yourself with One Piece of Arts Parts.
So I should have that in the next couple of days and might be able to get it up, let's see, today.
Well, today is Friday, actually, isn't it?
So I may not get it up until next week.

You're listening to Art Bell, Somewhere in Time.
Tonight featuring Coast to Coast AM from September 19, 1996.
art bell
Music West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
unidentified
Hi, Art.
This is nonpartisan Tim with San Diego.
art bell
How you doing?
unidentified
Long time, no talk.
art bell
It has been a while.
unidentified
I wanted to discuss this whole thing about marriage, same-sex and otherwise.
art bell
All right.
unidentified
I think one of the problems, the main problem that we're running into is the non-separation of church and state again.
And we've got a marriage that's defined by religious definition.
art bell
Holy matrimony.
unidentified
That's right.
And I think you said that you felt the courts would ultimately decide that same-sex marriage should be legal.
art bell
I believe they will, yes.
unidentified
I think you're probably right.
If you look at, if you remember, Rock Hudson, who turned out to be gay, and after he died, his partner, you know, was awarded by the courts the same type of settlement that a heterosexual couple would have been awarded.
Yes.
art bell
So I don't see how the courts can...
I mean, if you look at the inability of the court in Hawaii to come up with any reason why it should not be and they're challenged back to the state to either come up with a reason why it should not be or in effect saying it will be, then I think you're going to see the U.S. Supreme Court with the exact same problem.
unidentified
That's right.
That's right.
Like it or not, I think ultimately the courts are going to decide that homosexuals have the same right to form.
art bell
But for me, the answer will remain not.
I will not like it.
unidentified
No, I won't like it either.
I personally don't like the whole idea of any couple being able to reap all kinds of special benefits because they decide to get married.
art bell
Well, that's what you see, really the academic argument's on their side because they will not receive special benefits.
That is to say, not any more special than you receive for being married, if you are, or any heterosexual couple receives.
They simply want equal benefits.
And the academic argument is really on their side.
The lawful argument ultimately may be on their side.
And the only arguments against them, frankly, are prejudicial, emotional, conditioned, and very real.
unidentified
But they just don't hold water in court.
art bell
First time caller line, you're on the air.
Hi.
unidentified
Hi, Art.
art bell
Yes.
unidentified
I can't believe I'm talking to you.
art bell
Well, you are.
Where are you?
unidentified
In San Diego.
art bell
Okay.
unidentified
First time caller line.
art bell
AFMB.
unidentified
Yes.
Yes.
That's the sleep paralysis.
art bell
Yes.
unidentified
I have suffered from that for as long as I can remember.
And within the last year, I decided to experiment with it because I was frozen there anyway and couldn't do anything else.
And I started having that floaty feeling.
Well, the buzz in the head and that.
art bell
Really?
You too, huh?
unidentified
It's sticky.
So I went with it and I started leaving my body.
And I'd get up to the ceiling of my bedroom floor and I'd be afraid to go through it.
So I'd pull back.
But then the next time it happened, I decided to go all the way and I just went.
I don't know where I went and came back and decided I really didn't like this, so please don't do it to me again.
And I really haven't had it.
art bell
Well, that's amazing.
See, on the one hand, you want to say it's a kind of a seizure.
Some doctors will say that, grandma or whatever.
But from what you've just said, that's something different, fascinating.
You say you don't know where you went?
unidentified
No, it was more kind of a dark place, I guess.
There were like colored things.
I thought that I was just having terrible migraine headaches because that was the result of it afterwards, with that intense buzzing and vibrations, that that's how I felt with this real bad migraine headaches.
But listening to people, I've never heard of anyone else having it.
I thought this was uniquely my own experience.
I'm like, wow, there's others out there, too.
It's been illuminating to me since that's.
art bell
I appreciate the call, and I can only relate to it in one way.
This is kind of an interesting story.
Many years ago, I had had some dental work done, and this is the only way I can relate to what you're saying.
I had had some dental work done, and they gave me some codeine, and I apparently have some sort of allergy to codeine.
And the dental work was all done.
It was fine.
And that night I went to a drive-in theater, and I had taken one of these codeines, and I passed out.
But in the process, it's the only time in my whole life, as a matter of fact, that I've passed out.
In the process of passing out, I had that same rushing feeling, that same sort of vibrational rushing feeling that almost brought on, frankly, nausea.
And then I passed out.
And the young lady who was with me at the drive-in theater, I mean, boy, talk about screwing up a date, went, of course, immediately and they called an ambulance.
And the ambulance, you know, I don't know if you recall about drive-in theaters, any of you who are old enough to remember drive-ins.
They are still out there, but not many.
The ambulance came roaring in.
You remember those things that come up out of the ground so that if you drive over it, your tire is shredded?
The ambulance came in the wrong entrance, and all four of its tires got shredded.
All four of them.
And by then, of course, I was recovered, and I said, no, I don't want to go to the hospital.
I'm all right.
But here were these poor ambulance drivers sitting there with all four tires totally shredded.
I mean, they just flew over that thing.
And you can imagine what it would do to a tire.
And Zoe, I don't know why I just told you that, but it's the only time that I felt for several instants what these people seemed to be describing.
And it was the period between consciousness and unconsciousness.
And it was totally, totally frightening.
East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
unidentified
Hi.
Hey, good morning.
Good morning.
I'm Jane from Tennessee.
art bell
Well, glad to have you, and I like your accent, Jane.
unidentified
I want to make two, three comments.
The reverse speech, that was very, very interesting, but like a previous caller said, I got goosebumps also.
I missed the first hour, and I want to ask a couple of quick questions.
Did he say that his stutter led him into that line of work, like to study speech?
art bell
That's correct, yes.
Obviously, he would be very, very interested in speech patterns.
And so that's what led him there, sure.
unidentified
Yeah, okay.
And then another caller said something about rock music and backward masking.
Did y'all talk about that?
art bell
We did, but it is not the same thing.
unidentified
Not the same thing.
art bell
Most back masking is done intentionally.
unidentified
Yes.
I really hated that I missed the first hour.
Okay.
Also, I wanted to ask the sleep paralysis thing.
Recently I heard a show on sleep disorders and the lady was saying that when you're in the REM state, the dream state, you are paralyzed.
She said because if you didn't, you would get up and act out your dream.
So I don't know if that's the same thing that your other callers are talking about, but maybe they're just dreaming.
art bell
I don't think so.
unidentified
I've never had it.
I hope it never happens to me.
art bell
It's not fun.
It's very disturbing.
That's all I can say.
And I just told the story about myself.
unidentified
Yeah, that was interesting.
art bell
Interesting.
unidentified
And then one other comment about the reverse speech when I think it was a fax, they said, did he ever study animals?
Yes.
And I have a parrot that talks, and it says he said that the reverse speech was in metaphors.
Didn't he say that?
art bell
Yes, he did.
Well, sometimes it is in metaphors.
Sometimes it's quite clear, and we heard examples of both.
You ought to record your parrot.
unidentified
Yeah, that'd be fun.
That's all I had this morning, and it was a really good show.
Maybe you could have him again.
art bell
No doubt.
Yeah, Polly Wanna Cracker really means dumb stupid human.
I'm hungry.
East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
unidentified
Hi, this is Kristen Seminole, and I'm going to say that I'm out and about quite often, but usually I don't recognize it until I'm already out there.
But I've found that it helps quite a lot to move your neck if you feel the need to want to move much more quickly.
art bell
Well, a lot of people can't move at all.
unidentified
Well, this has helped, but I've found that moving my neck does it much fa sooner.
And it said that the energy comes in through your medulla oblongata at the base of your spine, or the base of your neck, I mean.
art bell
Well, sir, what did you think of the man who talked about the motor part of your brain and sleepwalking versus the intellectual part of your brain and sleep paralysis?
unidentified
I don't know, but I believe your astral body re-synchronizes with your physical body, and you just need to give it time.
art bell
Well, right now, my physical body has got to end the program.
unidentified
Oh, thank you.
art bell
Because that's it.
So, you know what the honors are?
unidentified
I believe so.
art bell
All right, well, let's hear your best shot.
unidentified
Oh, good night, America.
art bell
You've got it, Dad.
All right, well, that's it.
I'm sorry.
Clock says we've got to go.
If you get a repeat of the first hour, trust me, you don't want to miss what's coming up.
From the high desert, I'm Art Bell.
