Jim Berkland, a geologist with USGS and Santa Clara County ties, warns of a possible major earthquake within days, citing electromagnetic anomalies like missing pets in L.A. and satellite disruptions in China. His 1978 study linked quakes to El Niño’s water weight, estimating millions of tons straining faults beneath Dodgers Stadium, where a 6.5–6.8 magnitude event could strike soon due to tidal forces. Berkland’s accurate 1989 World Series earthquake prediction led to his suspension, while NASA’s "face on Mars" photo—allegedly degraded from 258 to 7 shades—fuels claims of data suppression. His preparedness advice and frustration over scientific dismissals underscore a pattern: when anomalies align, authorities often downplay risks, leaving the public vulnerable to underreported dangers.

This is going to be a very, very interesting night.
In a moment, we've got coming up Jim Birkland.
Jim Birkland is a member of the Geological Society of America and eight other professional organizations.
For 10 years, he worked for the Department of the Interior and the USPS, the U.S. Geological Survey, and the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation.
And I'll tell you more about him in a moment.
But he's going to be commenting on a number of contemporary things like the Base on Mars imaging, the resolution, what it means.
And as you may or may not know, I have a really, really strong feeling for whatever it's worth, which may be absolutely nothing, that there is a substantial earthquake about to occur in somewhere in the next three to seven days.
and i wouldn't begin to tell you where We'll talk to him about earthquakes because that would be right down his alley, maybe deep holes, too.
So all of that coming up.
Listen, if you will hightail it up to my website right this minute, Robert Ghostwolf came through with his promise and he sent me the photographs that he took.
And I re-scanned what I consider to be the critically important photograph, and I mean critically important.
And I came in a little closer on what I consider to be unambiguously in the Rocky Mountains of the U.S. a Sphinx.
And so the rescanned photographs, the ones I scanned that he sent, kindly sent to me, are on the web now.
And I'm showing you, it'll take you, you know, they're about 200K files.
So it'll paint slowly down your screen, but the resolution is, of course, much, much higher.
And if that's not a Sphinx, then I'm not a ham operator.
And I am, by the way, W6OBB.
So you've got to go take a look.
You've really got to see this.
I mean, it's in the Rocky Mountains.
And by the way, it was perhaps unfortunate, though I understand why he did it, that he said these were taken at the 14,000-foot level.
They were not.
That was an intentionally misleading statement.
He doesn't want the site desecrated, and I understand that perfectly.
A Sphinx in our Rocky Mountains, our Rocky Mountains?
Yes, I think so.
I'm telling you, go take a look at the new photographs.
And if you don't think that's a Sphinx, well, fine.
But to me, it jumps right out at you, and the response I've had thus far on the rescan photographs is really, really good.
You go take a look.
That's one item.
The sounds from hell have also been put up there, and you can either download them or listen to them online.
So having said all of that, which I wanted to get out to everybody, be sure you've got it, all of that is at my website, www.artbell.com.
That's A-R-T.
And then Bell, like the one that rings, all lowercase.
www.artbell.com.
Now, Snappy, you've got nothing to lose but the fat.
All right, now comes Jim Birkland.
So you know who you're listening to.
He is a fellow in the Geological Society of America and a member of eight other professional organizations.
During his 10 years of college and university geological education and his 35 years in practical applications, he's had a broad base of experience in field geology and underlined this aerial photographic interpretation.
That's very important, based on essay.
He worked more than 10 years for the Department of the Interior, about equally divided between the U.S. Geological Survey and the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation.
He is a registered geologist by the state of California, certified as an engineering geologist.
As a matter of fact, number 58.
A major part of his career has been more than 20 years as the first county geologist for the most populous county in Northern California, that'd be Santa Clara County.
In addition, he has taught geology at the university level on both coasts, including engineering geology, geomorphology, oceanography, general geology for science teachers, and has published more than 50 scientific papers in geology and has had a lifelong advocation of astronomy.
That makes Jim Birkeland uniquely qualified to comment on all kinds of things that we have questions about.
And then about, oh, 1992 or 3, I finally Says, why am I not hearing from my colleagues in this?
This obviously is face-like, and I'm tired of hearing so-called experts saying it doesn't look like a face, it's just a funny-looking hill.
And from my experience with geomorphology and aerial photographs, I can say there's nothing approaching it on the face of the earth except that the Sphinx and maybe Mount Rushmore.
I went over and I downloaded it, made a little picture of it here, and I'm looking at it right now.
And it definitely is quite face-like.
I would say its nose is in better shape than that of the real Sphinx, because I was over there, too, with John Anthony West just a few months before you were.
And so I finally, I wasn't sure if I heard about Professor Stanley McDaniel.
First I heard from Hoagland, Richard Hoagland.
And he was about to, he was in San Francisco and was being interviewed on a radio station out here.
And he said that he was going to speak at the West Coast headquarters of NASA at Mountain View.
And so I had just given a talk at the Director's Colloquium a few months earlier, and I thought that would give me a little in and I could hear his talk.
And so I called over to their program manager, and he said, I don't know what you're talking about.
And I said, well, I heard Richard Hogland say he was going to be speaking here on Tuesday, and I would like to hear him speak.
Can anyone else go in there other than just NASA people?
He said, I don't know anything about it.
I'll look into it and call you back.
About two hours later, close to infuriated, he called me back.
Richard Hogland is not a member of NASA.
He's never been a member of NASA, and he's trying to come in through the side door.
It turns out that the retired NASA people had invited him to speak in one of the buildings at NASA, at Mount View.
Now, I was one of those invited back to Cody, Wyoming to the Moon Mars conference.
I gave a talk there, heard from two other geologists, which was most gratifying to me that finally a couple of others in my field were recognizing this didn't appear to be a natural feature.
And I heard from religious leaders and architects, historians, engineers, a little bit of everything attended that conference, and it was really heartwarming and revealing.
And then I waited for more information to come out, especially when that last Mars observer blew up, just as it was about to enter orbit.
That was most discouraging.
But then we knew that this was coming up.
And all of a sudden they came with this new program to air brake it instead of normal landing.
And that gave them more time to kind of figure out how they were going to reveal this to the American public and the world.
When those first shots came out, as you noted, almost entirely black.
I did compare it with your satellite shots of the weather station.
People are saying, by the way, that that is an unfair comparison because obviously an Earth orbiter is close by, whereas this other spacecraft is all the way out at Mars, and so there is going to be more noise.
I have contention with that.
I believe that with the large dishes, they have perfect full quieting transmissions from that spacecraft.
And the first strips, when they finally had something you could see, they had stretched the features so that circular craters were quite Elongated into long ellipses.
Either an atom bomb went off, completely destroying the whole damn thing, or my analogy, when I first saw it, I said, man, it looks like cat box to me.
Yes, and in Carlado's latest book, The Martian Enigmas, A Closer Look, he shows how statues are almost indecipherable under certain lighting conditions.
And how the face on Mars, through a Martian day, based on models they've made, most of the pictures are very ambiguous.
And it's only towards when the low sun angles come in that it becomes very clear.
You know, you've just given me a really good idea.
Somebody could go out and play a game by imaging in different lights statues that we know to be not natural, statues formed by the hand of man and photographed at different angles in different lighting.
That would be a very interesting experiment.
And then submitted to somebody and say, here, look, this is a photograph of Mars.
What do you think?
Well, certain groups out there would say, no matter what, obviously, tricks of light and shadow.
Yeah, we've been hearing that from the very beginning.
And this does explain, though, why suddenly Dr. Mallon and NASA became so cooperative and said, oh, yes, we really want to show everything there, and we will show it to the public immediately.
Instead of before, they said, we're not even interested in Sidonia.
And if we do take pictures, we're going to look through them and we'll let you know in a month or two.
Do you think, under the circumstances, that what we got was an accidental poor resolution and rendition of the phase on Mars, or do you think that it was an intentional?
You may have noticed, Jim, as I did, that the first photograph that they somehow pulled from this black strip, the one that looked like a cat box, now that was the one that got shown to all the world on television that day.
It was on the front page of newspapers, the cat box.
Dan rather proclaimed it nothing but a pile of rocks.
And that is exactly the impression the great unwashed were left with.
And what you're telling me is we've been hoodwinked.
You cannot, if you take a picture of the face from 1976, as shown on Carloto's and Hoagland's and McDaniel's books and a few others, and then you look at this rock ripple that they produced with this recent photograph, you can't get there from here.
The two don't jide.
They are not congruent, as we hear about reverse speech.
I would like to get some of these people on record and hear how they sound in reverse.
Well, as a matter of fact, we have done some of that with Michael Malin and others.
What about Professor McDaniel?
Now, I had him on the air the other day.
Professor McDaniel wrote and wrote and wrote and wrote profound suspicions about NASA and the whole face on Mars thing.
And then, just like two or three days, actually two days I think it was before the imaging, Professor McDaniel seemed to turn 180 degrees around after all these profound pronouncements about what he thought was going on inside NASA.
Well, since my website at this moment is more or less crippled because everybody's rushing up there for the news stuff we've got, give out your website and go to it directly or go through our link if they correct my site.
And it means lining up of the sun, moon, and earth, such as at a time of an eclipse or any newer full moon, but an eclipse is a perfect syzygy.
And once you get off that S-Y-Z-Y-G-Y, put my initials, j-o-b.com, and you'll go right to my website.
And it would take, about like yours, how small remnant of it is the shadow word, but it would take somebody about four hours to go through all the links and things that we have on there.
I'm able to publish a lot of things I couldn't publish with peer review.
I put them out there, and I had five papers in a row rejected after having 15 in a row inducted because I started writing about earthquake predictions.
Jim, we were discussing ridicule, and you are uniquely in a position now where you can say whatever in the hell you want without fear of retribution because you're retired, right?
might have been a little more uh circumspect circumspect yes uh-huh because people that have a career ahead of them uh Well, a mistake like I discovered in 1979 that literally thousands of people died in the 1906 earthquake, and all of the textbooks were saying a few hundred.
And I talked to five eyewitness accounts.
One man was 102 years old.
This was back in the early 80s.
I got them all transcribed on oral interviews.
I wrote a brief summary of this, submitted it to the state of California, and it was just sent back to me very quickly saying they had the official numbers and this was just too hypothetical.
But I've been vindicated.
Just about three years ago with the latest list of U.S. earthquakes, it says that the San Francisco earthquake caused at least 3,000 deaths.
Well, I think it was more like 10,000, but it's far better than the 277 or the 315 or the 452 or the 498 you see in official publications.
I can't put words in their mouths, but that's what I imagine they would be.
I had a little talk a few moments ago during the break with Keith Rowland, trying to find out if our suffering website was going to live.
And he mentioned, you know, Art, Richard said there were about two-thirds of the grayscales missing, but by my count, and Keith does a lot of good computer work, it's more like four-fifths of the data missing.
And after the great Cody conference and hearing everything developing, and that we're finally going to have cooperation, and we see this trash come out from their camera, which is supposedly finely tuned.
And then we find out it was detuned.
It was degraded.
You know, we're told that our satellites can shoot down on our cities, and you can read not only the headlines of newspapers, but the subheads.
I, as you all know, because I put a strip up there as an example, I get photographs from the NOAA series of satellites, our satellites, and there's a whole series of Russian satellites up there as well.
And the detail available from the Russian satellites is far, far better than NOAA.
NOAA is good for weather, but the Russians allow whatever detail and resolution that can be shoved down to be shoved down.
And you can zoom in on cities with the Russian photographs.
It's true, so that some little third world country can't use it as a missile guidance system, they said.
So, I don't know.
We don't have a lot of honesty from government, whether it's earthquakes, photographs from Mars, satellite constellations that are supposed to help us navigate.
I would think, Jim, that the scientific presumption would be that one earthquake could trigger another, not the other way around.
In other words, if you have pressures that are building between two moving plates and something is sitting on the edge of going and something else jolts it from far away, I mean, this is not rocket science.
Although back in, I heard Dr. Bruce Bolt give a talk at the University of California at Davis back in 1981, I believe.
And I mentioned to him that in 1906, on April 18th, when the 8.1 hit San Francisco about 5.13 in the morning, that afternoon, 500 miles to the south, on the San Andreas Fault, there was a 6.5 that did severe damage down in Brawley.
So in essence, it was an aftershock.
And I mentioned that to Dr. Bolt.
And, of course, because it was 4.30 in the afternoon, it ends up as the next day, Greenwich time, where most earthquakes are reported.
So the significance didn't come out to most people.
Gee, that was on the same day as the great earthquake in San Francisco.
So Dr. Bolt thought for a moment.
He says, well, yes, I have recognized that.
And it does open up the possibility of a superquake.
No, it's not very likely Because in the middle the fault is creeping and relieving most of the strain as it goes.
But there's no question in my mind, and I guess in his, that that strain was propagated along for 500 miles, that it popped up, you know, eight hours later, ten hours later.
This is Coast to Coast A.M., and I've got so much in line for you coming up in the next few moments.
Something, I think, in the line of breaking news.
My guest is Jim Birkland, a geologist all his life.
I will give you a run by his credentials again in a few moments.
But we do have breaking news from Richard Hoagland.
Stand by for that.
I've got a couple of things I've got to cover.
One is Robert Ghostwolf, for those of you joining at this hour, came through and sent me the photographs he said he'd send.
And I have rescanned them, and they are on the website right now.
I did two.
One at a medium distance and one fairly close-up of something that I think in the U.S. Rockies, to me, unambiguously jumps right out as a Sphinx.
Now, these are fairly high-res photos, probably about 200K to download.
But boy, if you can get to a computer.
He called this the Archangel.
To me, this is the Sphinx.
It may be a matter of words and labeling.
I don't know.
But I did rescan this one photograph, and you've got to see it.
It's on my website at www.artbell.com, as are the screams from hell.
If you want to record or download those, you can do that.
In a moment.
Now, Jim Birkland has used some very, very strong words to describe the images, image from Mars of the face.
And he thinks it is an intentional fraud.
I don't know what else, what other words to use, an intentional fraud.
And he is using those words.
This is an accredited geologist.
In a moment, Richard C. Hoagland with some rather shocking news for you.
Dr. Dark.
All right, I'm getting word now that Michael Malin, Dr. Malin, is saying that apparently that there was dust, that there was something obscuring the Sidonia region when he took the photograph, and that accounts for the horrid quality of the photograph that we all told you about.
We told you and told you and told you.
And of course, people didn't believe it, and they took the word of those who said a high-res image of a bunch of junk.
Right?
Well, now Dr. Malin is talking about clouds and haze and stuff like that.
Well, here with kind of a special bulletin for you from the mountains of New Mexico is Richard C. Hoagland.
We have been working, Jim, for the last 24 hours on basically a smoking gun.
This data has been cooked.
It is a fake.
It has been altered.
It has been tampered with.
It is not raw data, and we can prove it.
And the proof is so simple and so elegant.
And before I limit out, I want to give a special credit to a gentleman named Frederick Hadeck, who took my recommendation the other night on your show art when I said that this raw image had a series of streaks down the length of it.
Well, what he did was follow my recommendation, and he went back in Malin's own files on his website, which is also linked in the healing frequency section of Enterprise.
And he found an image on orbit 30, 8003.jpg, which had the same streaks.
And he then spent, he must have spent like a day matching meticulously the geometry of the scan of this earlier picture with the geometry of the scan of the Sidonia shot.
And he made an astonishing discovery, and I want to give Fred full credit.
What he discovered is that if you go to Malin's own site where he lists the specs of his camera, he says very clearly, and it's on our post now, which Keith will have up there momentarily, that the full CCD resolution of the array is supposed to be 2,048 pixels.
That is, think of it as kind of like a comb.
And the motion of the spacecraft at right angles to the width of the comb, the little detector elements in the CCD, produces the picture as the CCD is continually being interrogated about the light values it is recording.
So what Fred did is he matched the fingerprint of the Sidonia strip that we've got, the raw image given to us Monday morning, with the full scan image from one of Malin's previous orbits, and discovered a really shocking piece of news which is totally verifiable, totally reproducible, and is a smoking gun of tampering.
Because it turns out that somehow between the spacecraft and Earth, the full scan 2048 array image got reduced to 1024.
So what you have here is lousy grayscale information, so you can't see anything.
You have lousy resolution compared to what the camera can give us, so you can't detect anything.
And it's not a raw image.
Every press release JPL has put out around the world claiming this is a raw image is an absolute fabrication because you can't get a 1024 raw image out of a 2048 raw scan orbiting Mars.
Now, what's really shocking is I have been talking with national media for the last couple of days about this.
And tonight, I won't tell you who, but I got a report from one of my sources at one of the major networks talking to one of the key network correspondents.
Now, we can care who Bill is sleeping with, but when it comes to verifying the potential revolution in civilization, the discovery and confirmation of alien or other ruins on another planet with a mission which we as taxpayers are paying for, this corresponds that there is evidence that a major scientist involved in the mission is faking and altering data.
If you look at the graph I prepared, I have a series of scans which Fred prepared of one of many, many images, high-res images that Malin has on his website.
The one we chose was 8003.jpg from orbit 80 about a month and a half ago.
All it takes is apathy on the part of most people.
Jim eloquently, you know, labeled the giggle factor.
My problem today, when I was discussing with people at Time and Newsweek and the Washington Post and National Public Radio and many others, is I can't seem to get over the idea, come on, you don't take this seriously.
It's like we're holding ourselves to two different standards.
We hold the President of the United States for possibly having an affair to one level, and we hold NASA who's spending $150 million of our money and who could make a discovery that would change the course of all future history to come to a totally different standard.
Well, I think what you have said tonight, Richard, demands an explanation from Dr. Malin and or perhaps look carefully at what you've got on the website.
I had facts this morning from a representative of another grand jury in another county who has offered now to help me put this investigation together in this county.
And this is a responsible public official.
He is sewage and waste control and all that.
And he's been fighting a fight on another issue.
But he listens to you every night, and he was so supportive in terms of helping us get this off the ground.
He said I could probably get enough signatures to get this before a judge in a day or next seed with the legal venue of holding these people accountable for spending our money and lying to us.
I mean, if what you have told us holds up, Richard, and it sounds like it's going to, then you may not have to go through the legal hoops, which would be very difficult and take a long time because of the public outrage.
Now, let me ask you this, Richard.
Can the average person, the non-geologist, non-scientist, non-rocket scientist, can they go up there and see what you're saying easily, reasonably easily?
Well, given the fact that one correspondent basically said today, I don't care, and given the fact that this technical priesthood thinks that they own the universe because no one else can understand them, I think the arrogance of power may have given us a slight edge here in that somebody simply goes and looks.
This is the equivalent of a smoking gun.
Jim, correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't this sound pretty conclusive to you?
Now, Richard Hoagland has made a very, very serious allegation.
He's saying the Mars photos were hoaxed, tampered with.
They are a lie.
Now, the information is in Keith Rowland's hands right now.
He's my webmaster.
He's also the webmaster for Richard C. Hoagland.
However, my website is so jammed right now that even Keith can't get in to post them.
So all I can say is bear with it.
Everybody just sort of relax for a little while.
Stop hitting the site.
Let Keith get in and let's get this stuff posted.
I want to see it too.
So I know everybody's going up after the picture of the Sphinx and the audio from the sounds from hell and all the rest of it.
Please give it a break for a few minutes so Keith can get in.
It's so busy.
My own webmaster can't get to our own website.
So please, everybody, just sort of lighten up for a few minutes.
All right.
We'll get this information up there and then you can flood it again.
All right.
Remarkable news from Richard Hoagland.
Breaking news.
A direct charge with proof to be posted the minute we can get it up there, Richard says, of a fraud committed on the American people.
A fraud.
An outright fraud.
And so this is the first time we've certainly heard anything like that with proof to be offered.
Now, let us go back to Jim Birkland.
Jim Birkland all his life, a geologist, worked for USGS.
Well, as a matter of fact, let me go through it because I know some of you have joined since the top of the hour.
He is a fellow in the Geological Society of America, a member of eight other professional organizations.
Ten years of college in university geological education, 35 years in practical application.
He has had broad experience in field geology and aerial photograph interpretation.
He worked 10 years for the Department of the Interior and about equally divided between the U.S. Geological Survey and the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation.
He is a registered geologist by the state of California, certified as an engineering geologist, number 58.
A major part of his career has been more than 20 years as the first county geologist for the most populous county in Northern California, Santa Clara County.
In addition, has taught geology at the university level on both coasts, including engineering geology, geomorphology, oceanography, and general geology for science teachers.
He's published more than 50 scientific papers in geology and has had a lifelong advocation of astronomy.
This tonight has the same sort of stimulating intellectual stimulation that discovering new minerals, new fossils, or new geologic formations has had in the past for me.
This is going to be tough to go to sleep after this tonight.
Now, some people joined at midnight in the Los Angeles area.
Even before Richard Hoagland came on tonight, we had a full hour in which you virtually suggested the exact same thing with very strong words regarding the imaging from the face on Mars of the face on Mars.
The world has not seen a quake that strong ever since.
And it came on the day of the full moon.
Now we're on the day of the full moon of Passover, the 11th of April, and it's the opening of a secondary seismic window, which I don't stick my neck out on.
I wait for the primary window, which will be with the new moon on the 25th of this month.
April has always been one of the top three months for earthquakes on the West Coast.
The two biggest ones, in Seattle, the 6.5 in 1965 and the 7.1 in 1949, were both in the month of April, as well, of course, the April 18th, big one in San Francisco.
I've had a deputy sheriff tell me that from about 50 miles away from Koalinga in 1983 when they had the 6.7 Koalinga quake, that morning he couldn't get back to base with his radio transmitter in his car.
And I've had this from a number of other people.
You do get unusual radio interference prior to quakes, and that's one of the things that Jack Coles looks at.
Now, I know one of the things that you look at, you watch very carefully newspapers for missing animals, animals that have, for some unknown reason, run away.
That came out in 1984, complete shock to most people.
And it's over our pineal gland in the middle of the forehead where the mystical third eye is supposed to be.
So it appears we do have a sixth sense of direction, and most of us have, however, forgotten how to use it.
But I've had 11 people now call me that get really bad headaches just before local quakes.
And the headaches usually disappear just moments before the quake itself, so they have an advance warning.
And they often wouldn't even talk about it with their spouse.
You know, it's too weird.
And then finally, when they heard that I was doing this kind of thing and that I was willing to take the brick bats, they called me and shared the information with me.
The one thing that was so quiet in California in March, often you get a quiet before the storm.
And again, we've had El Niño time after time.
Our El Niño years had been big quake years.
Really?
Yes.
I thought I came up with that on my own.
It turns out that four scientists at the USC published on this back about 1978.
And they showed, here's their statement.
Every single six-magnitude quake in Southern California since 1900 to about 1978 had occurred following one or more years of drought, followed by an excessively wet year.
Here's Larry from Cambridge, Massachusetts, WRKO country says, Arnhart, if you think of it, please ask Jim whether the weight of all the water which has rained down on California with El Niño could or might have affected the various geologic faults.
One square mile of water, a foot deep, weighs in at nearly a million tons.
The combined weight of the recent rains must be tens of millions of tons of weight added.
And hadn't heard anybody else come up with it, but I put it on my website.
And I've talked about a section on El Nino and past earthquakes.
I feel full strongly that by end of this summer, we're going to have at least one six-plus magnitude quake in California.
Based on all of these factors, this is a year in which we're having four cases of Pirigian spring tides, where the closest approach of the month of the moon is on the same day as the new or full moon.
In this case, it's the new moon, and that's coming up on the 26th.
Well, it would certainly be worse than the World Series earthquake, which was some 60 miles away from San Francisco.
And in fact, the Vision Park Fault intersects with the Newport-Inglewood fault, which gave us the Long Beach quake in 1933 on the day of the eclipse of the moon.
That was March 10th.
And it was discussed in that wild movie about the volcano erupting in Los Angeles.
They described the Elysian Park Fault and the Newport-Inglewood Fault.
But the idea of a volcano erupting is totally out of the picture.
Well, I think it didn't do anyone any service how the press jumped on an article at a local convention by a couple of scientists from the USGS that, well, they'd recalculated and there was no shortage of earthquakes, earthquake gap in Southern California, that a deficit that compared to last century, this century had a big deficit in quakes.
Now they've re-evaluated and said there is no deficit, and the next big one may be decades away.
This goes back to the earlier topic of the face on Mars, but I've got to read this.
It comes from an engineer regarding deep space probe transmission errors.
Art, the argument that the poor picture quality of the Mars Global Surveyor pictures is due to transmission noise is just plain wrong.
NASA space probes, including the Mars Global Surveyor, incorporate the use of forward error correction in data transmission.
The fact that the Mars Global Surveyor is a great distance away from Earth only affects the speed of the data transmission.
Further away the probe is, the slower you have to transmit the data.
You eventually, though, will get the data.
But its error rate will be very low after correction.
And I believe this man to be right on, and that's why I put the strip up there so people might know what horrid little trash we got claiming to be original stuff.
And I have no way of knowing what my discrete healing of an earthquake might or might not mean, where it might occur, how big it might be, or even if it's going to happen.
I have no idea.
But you would generally agree that before the summer ends, and possibly even soon, there is going to be an earthquake somewhere.
I was asked to give a talk at the annual meeting of the Foundation for the Study of Cycles at the time I was just back from suspension from my county geology work for predicting the world's earthquake and naming it in the paper three days before it happened.
Well, at that meeting at Irvine, I had just picked up the L.A. Times, and at the end of my talk, I said I wanted to save time for questions and to show them my concern about a five-plus to hit the L.A. area within three days.
And I unfolded this long list of lost animals, which was suddenly at 58, one of the highest totals I've ever seen, and has arisen from around 20 in just two days' time.
One of the fellows in the rear of the audience got up, left the room.
I never saw him again.
But 10 days later, I got a letter from New York saying, congratulations on another hit.
I didn't want to share in it.
I checked out of the hotel and took the first flight back to New York.
He was talking about the 5.5 that hit Upland three days after I made the statement.
And that was on videotape.
And a very strange thing happened on that videotape that I made, that they made of me.
There were two days of talks, and all of the talks came out very, very clear.
But midway through my talk, there suddenly became an aberration, an electronic glitch that the Panasonic people could not correct.
And we still don't know why that interference wave occurred while I was predicting the quake.
I told, after I saw, instead of four or five missing cats, I saw 27 ads in local Mercury News.
A whole new plateau.
And instead of the 20 missing dogs I've been seeing normally, there were 58, similar to what happened in Los Angeles.
So with that combination and the fact we were having the highest tidal force in three years, I couldn't contain myself and I called a newspaper reporter and said, I really am 85% confident we're going to have a World Series earthquake.
The following is apparently from the Malin Space Science System site.
Malin says Mars face photo bad because of clouds and haze.
Listen to this now.
We now have an explanation from almost black.
Remember?
You remember I told you again and again on the air that it shouldn't have been that way?
And people wrote to me and said that I was a wide-angled shot shows significant cloud cover.
This explains why nothing was visible in the raw image.
And even the enhanced image shows very poor detail.
Furthermore, cloud cover might mean that some of the whitish areas of the face might be clouds and not actual surface features.
Oh my God.
How about that, folks?
How about that, folks?
One other piece of news.
Richard Hoagland with a very serious allegation and proof.
It's now up on his website.
That's the Enterprise Mission website.com.
I think that's, I hope that's right.
It's also available through my site at www.artbell.com get in proof up.
It's up there now.
So we've got a whole array of things on the website, probably too many at one time, and that's why it keeps getting shut down, for you to see the enhanced, re-imaged, re-scanned ghost wolf photographs, which are astounding.
The sounds from hell.
And now very, very importantly, of course, the link to Richard Hoagland's site and the proof, I said proof, of what Richard alleges is a fraud perpetrated on the American people.
Now we begin to get messages from Dr. Malin indicating that clouds and haze account for the black strip.
I complained mightily and strongly and repeatedly about that black strip.
And we should not have been luck that there would not have been data loss, that there was error correction.
Indeed, we should have seen a strip much like the one that I put up there.
So I was right about that, obviously.
And now we're beginning to hear about the worth of the photograph itself.
Oh, my, my, my, how things change.
Back to Jim Birkeland and his reaction to all this in a moment.
Well, a lot of the analysts have been strangely really silent.
And they've made some very tentative statements like let's wait and see and so forth and so on.
And tonight, it's breaking wide open.
I mean, it's really breaking wide open.
I wonder if this seemingly incontrovertible evidence comes back or whether they will just do as they have so many times and ignore new evidence, strong evidence.
This was deliberately done by scientists, my colleagues, and they wanted to get me out of the way.
And the best way was to have me fired, and it came very close to that.
And when they found they couldn't find any smoking gun of the common hand for these two and a half months, and finally they came up with charges that just when the county needed me most, I wasn't available.
And I suppose you're going to get a lot of questions like this for Jim, but I was just wondering if I'm about 080 miles from Seattle, so naturally I'm sort of interested in what might or might not be going on up there.
And I had some very nice letters from people thanking me for alerting them to that period.
One lady said, I didn't let my kids go to the kingdom last night to see the baseball game.
And of course, they stopped the game and evacuated the stadium.
And an officer for emergency services said, I'm sure glad I got your newsletter because you talked about the importance of maintaining equipment, not just having it.
And I realized we hadn't done a thing with our generators since the floods a couple months earlier.
So I went out and I greased them up and gassed them up and oiled them up and they're all ready to go when the power went off that night.
That's what I hope to achieve, to demystify earthquakes.
Get people to do something about preparedness.
Preparedness is far more important than prediction.

Are you forecasting anything for the near future for up here?
So let me ask now, you said the numbers were going berserk in L.A. Now you're saying they're going kind of crackers up there where this caller is in Washington.
What about, is this all along the West Coast or what?
I called you on Wednesday, December 31st, 1997, when you were taking predictions for 98.
And my prediction was that there was going to be a major earthquake in the U.S. by the weekend of April, Saturday, April 18th.
And I based that on the last two previous major earthquakes near major cities, because I think this is going to be an earthquake that hits at least a semi-major city, and it's going to be in the news for the destruction it causes.
There was the October 17th, 89th, San Francisco, and Los Angeles.
And if there is indeed a quickening, as I agree with you going on, by Saturday, April 18th, it has to come within a shorter interval than those last two ones.
And this, I didn't get any feeling about where at the time, but it was, I think I said it was going to be probably above a 7, like maybe a 7 to a 7.5 in that neighborhood.
The last two things, and I'm not saying this as an absolute prediction as part of it, but I'm starting to get some vague feelings about Portland, Oregon, and particularly this Sunday, April 12th.
I don't know if your guest has any feelings about that city or that day in particular.
Well, it doesn't take anything to get him chasing those bottles around.
So this has been known for 100 years as a plastic on Galileo, his superior, and said, you know, I think the tides and the seas have something to do with the moon.
And Galileo shut him down and said, That's nothing but astrological nonsense.
And I'm going on this Egyptology cruise in May with you and the gang.
And so that's part of the limitations of quakes.
We're not going to slide into the sea.
Earthquakes are not going to last for 10 minutes.
It's not the end of the earth.
Although that Alaskan earthquake in 64, Good Friday, lasted for three and a half minutes.
And they know that because a radio announcer was practicing at home with a recorder.
And his comments went on for three and a half minutes.
He couldn't stand.
So let alone the instrumental measurements.
But that was a practical one.
You can just time that.
Secondly, that we count on won't be available.
So first of all, you should prepare yourself and your family to, say, camp out in or about your home for a week.
And primarily, you have to make sure you have enough water.
If you have a well with a pump, you probably won't have any electricity.
So one little thing that I do is take my milk cartons, flush them out after I'm done with them, and fill them nine-tenths full of water and put them in the freezer.
And when the power goes off, you have a big icebox.
And it's so handy, too, if you have some sudden guests, you need some extra ice cubes, just make sure you slide this, pour a little hot water on it, and it slides out and you can reuse the same carton.
And at the office, we couldn't even sign off the final building permits.
And I said, oh, I've got a light stick in my briefcase.
So I went over, and I suddenly realized I had demonstrated it at a talk a couple of days earlier, and we had no light.
So we had to send the people home and ourselves.
Got home, and here's the family sitting around.
Stanton Friedman was a visitor.
His family.
And they were sitting around with a candlelight.
And I said, wait a minute, I've got a Coleman out in the garage.
And so I got my Coleman out, and I started pumping it and pumping it.
It turns out the generous, lately I bought a second Coleman lantern and a couple of spare generators and a couple of spare mantles and another can of white gas, and so I'm ready.
But it's way better.
So it's very handy to have these extra supplies in the trunk of your car, maybe foodstuffs, slide them under the bed in a box where they're out of the way, and then rotate them.
If it's something that, you know, don't have enough room in the freezer, then you put a couple of drops of bleach in a gallon of water, and that'll last for a couple of years.
So often it's been the water situation that's been the most desperate.
As water mains tough, you're walking the little reservoir back of your tub, and you've got some on your hot water tank if it hasn't toppled over.
Mr. Bell, I did visit your website this afternoon, and I looked at those pictures, and, you know, it looks to me like that latter picture of the Sidonia area is simply sanded in, like a big sandstorm blew across it and covered up a whole lot of stuff that covers so much clearer in the earlier Viking.
I got that book right off, and I called him on one occasion when our power went off.
unidentified
Yeah, and then he talks about this Professor Gordon McDaniel from the Institute of Geophysics at UCLA.
And then this Professor McDonald talks about using the environment as a weapon system and weather manipulation, climate modifications, polar ice cap melting, ozone depletion, and earthquake engineering.
Dr. McDonnell, Professor of Philosophy at Sonoma State University, that's the name that I is certainly knowledgeable about HAARP.
And I'm very, very suspicious about what the government tells us their plans are about HAARP.
I do know when they first tried it about a quarter, the process, what's it going to go to, 2 billion watts, some incredible number, when they did it like a quarter, the power went off in about seven western states and parts of Alaska, and an AWACS plane that was checking what happened to radar over the horizon, It crashed.
And that's...
Well, yes, if you're talking about Tesla.
Yeah.
And that's certainly a whole new topic.
I believe that story about him devising a little oscillator that got in tune with a big building and it began to build up so that the building might have collapsed, given enough time.
Well, whatever it was, they finally got some thoughts at the time where we have devised this incredibly wonderful grid system for loads.
But another important aspect of the grid is to provide fire doors or, like on a sub-waterproof doors, so that if one cabin floods, you don't lose the whole thing.
In regards to his projections for an earthquake, my question is, how is that going to affect as far as tidal surges and tidal waves along coastal areas?
Well, any large earthquake on the floor of the sea that has mainly up and down motion is capable of Andreas can't produce a tidal wave because it's sideways.
It's something like if you by the edge and just pull it out, no problem.
If you pick it up and move it straight up, full face, it's going to flood out and you sink.
So that same thing happens on the floor of the ocean in 1764 with the Alaskan quake.
47 feet of differential motion or ones were changed.
So in Long California, our main concern about tsunami are from South America and from Alaska.
