This is Coast to Coast AM with Art Bell.
Now, here again is Art.
art bell
Well, good morning, everybody.
coming up in just a moment from uh...
unidentified
the new england is green green uh...
uh...
art bell
Good morning, everybody.
I just got a panicked, panicked call from Kent.
Kent of the interview last week.
And he believes his life is in danger right now.
And I'm going to try and work out what we're going to have to do about this.
And, Kent, if you're listening, which I know you are, again, get hold of Richard, and we'll take it from there.

The End.

you Wayne Green is a pioneer, a modern day pioneer.
He comes from a family of pioneers, a descendant of John Alden and Priscilla.
His great-grandfather was a homeopathy pioneer, a town doctor in Littleton, New Hampshire, where Wayne's father and Wayne were both born.
His grandfather was an inventor and founder of Sitco.
Wayne's father was an aviation pioneer, founding the first transatlantic airline.
As a youngster, flyers like Frank Hawkes and Amelia Earhart often were dinner guests.
I am I. Wayne has helped us have cellular telephones, personal computers, compact discs.
Now he's editing and publishing a journal on cold fusion, which he predicts will one day be the largest industry in the world.
Wayne's ham radio hobby, one that I share with him, has provided him with a lifetime of adventure as it has me.
For instance, it got him on a submarine during World War II as an electronic technician.
He's written a book about his submarine adventures.
Then it got him into radio as an engineer, announcer, and finally a DJ.
Then television, as a cameraman, then a director.
Then he quit all that to manufacture a completely new loudspeaker design, which within three years would become the largest selling speaker in the country with seven factories.
In the ham radio field, he was one of the first pioneers of narrowband FM, which is now the standard for most VHF communications.
Then he got interested in ham radio teletype and began a magazine to help share the excitement with as many others as possible.
This led to his being the editor of a ham magazine and eventually starting his own, 73, which he still publishes 38 years later.
He's pioneered slow-scan television, single-sideband, and then ham repeaters, which resulted in cellular telephones.
Wayne has visited hams in 132 countries so far, operated his own station from some really weird places like a desert island in the Caribbean, Beirut in Lebanon, Afghanistan, Syria, the Korean DMZ, Kathmandu, Swaziland, the Fiji Islands, the King's Palace in Jordan, and the famous U.S. Embassy in Tehran.
He organized an all-ham hunting safari in Kenya and an audience for 73 hams with the Pope.
unidentified
Wow.
art bell
Wayne's latest pioneering has to do with health.
We're going to pin him down on this one.
He's convinced that anyone can get over any illness and add at least 20 to 30 years of healthy living to their lives.
He's also convinced that anyone who wants, wishes to, can make all the money they want and even get other people to happily pay them to learn what they need to know to do it.
As a publisher, Wayne has started 25 successful magazines, with two of them getting to be the largest and third largest magazines in the country.
Vogue beat him out for second place.
Wayne's taking it easy these days on a 200-acre New Hampshire farm while still publishing two magazines and writing a series of books.
Here is Wayne Green.
Hi, Wayne.
wayne green
Hi, good morning.
art bell
Great to have you again.
Well, thank you.
Wayne, we're going to go all over the place tonight, but here's where I thought I would start.
You know, you're a big health nut, and you claim, as I just read, that any disease, virtually any disease, can be cured with the right kind of treatment.
Linda McCartney just died.
She died of breast cancer, Wayne.
She died doing all the right things, living the healthiest life you could imagine.
She was on a vegetarian diet.
She had the very best treatment available, and yet she died.
wayne green
Well, of course, we have to define the very best treatment available.
If she followed Lorraine Bay's recipe, I think she would have recovered just as Lorraine did.
And I was very impressed with your interview with her and I've been talking with her, and she sent me her books, and she is saying the same things that I have discovered after reading hundreds of books about this subject.
And that is that you can get over even cancer if you rebuild your immune system.
And that means stopping with the poisons, stop putting poisons in your body.
art bell
Well, she had done that.
wayne green
And number two is to give your body the nutrients that it needs, all of the missing minerals, and the you know, lots of water, which most of us don't do, and that's water without fluoride and without chlorine and dioxin in it.
And, you know, we have mercury in our teeth, and we kind of say, well, you know, gee, everybody has that.
Well, everybody's dying, too.
art bell
Well, yeah, we're all going to eventually die.
wayne green
Well, yes, but our cells are good for about 150 years.
art bell
Well, nobody's making that.
There was one lady who made it to about 120.
wayne green
120-something, right, yeah.
But even she was poisoning herself.
She smoked up until she was about 100.
art bell
I know.
I take great solace in that fact, by the way.
wayne green
Well, my father smoked until he was about 65 and died 20 years later.
art bell
At 85?
wayne green
At 87.
art bell
Oh, 87.
All right, that's a pretty damn good life.
wayne green
The last 10 years were on an oxygen bottle.
art bell
No, that's not so good.
No.
But there are lots of people who at that age end up on oxygen bottles anyway.
wayne green
Without smoking?
art bell
Oh, yeah, sure.
In their 80s or 90s, sure.
They begin to have lung.
There's plenty of people who get emphysema and even lung cancer without smoking.
Now, how do they get it?
wayne green
Probably the same way I might from breathing my father's smoke for years.
art bell
See, we're going to have an argument about all this.
I think that the death statistics from smoking...
wayne green
Oh, I agree.
Oh, I agree on that.
art bell
There's radiation that comes from the ground in certain parts of the country.
You could get lung cancer from breathing in your basement.
wayne green
That's right.
And you can also get ill just from the magnetism coming from water flowing under your building.
art bell
I'll be darned.
That I didn't know about.
But my point is, Wayne, that a lot of people, like Linda McCartney, sadly, though they do the best they can, and she really was into the health thing.
I mean, she really was.
Died anyway.
It did not save her.
So we don't know all the answers.
We know some of the answers, and we know sometimes things like what Dr. Day had to say work.
But Wayne, sometimes they don't.
wayne green
Well, I'll be more convinced if I knew more about it.
The books that I've read, and I've reviewed these in my guide to books, certainly seem to cover just about every aspect of this field.
And I've done an awful lot of research on this.
For instance, I just mentioned the magnetic fields from water flowing under the building.
And if you read Chris Bird's book, The Divining Hand, he goes into that quite well and points out that this is not just some mystical force, but it's been measured with electronic instruments.
art bell
I think one night you and I also talked about mercury in the teeth, right?
wayne green
Oh, yeah.
art bell
And I recall that we opened the line for some dentists or something like that because I told you my dentist said, look, that's baloney.
And a lot of dentists say that's baloney.
They would argue with you, and they would say that this is ridiculous.
A properly done filling does not leak enough mercury to cause you any problem at all.
wayne green
But they can't back that up with any research.
The book by Hal Huggins is good on that.
Another one by Lydia Bronte is marvelous on it.
And I have several more showing the research that's been done on that.
And it is just conclusive, all right?
art bell
Well, then why is it not conclusively embraced by dentists?
wayne green
Because if they embrace that, they open themselves for lawsuits for billions of dollars.
art bell
Another conspiracy, right?
wayne green
Of course.
Look at the conspiracies with the AMA and the various cancer cures that have come along.
unidentified
And these are pretty well documented.
art bell
Well, yes.
Of course, with Dr. Day and then with Bob Guccione, who I talked to, he's right in the middle of a whole lot of legal action in that arena.
Yep.
And so I don't, look, I don't reject the idea that there can be conspiracies.
There can be people for financial reasons hiding things.
I don't reject it, but I don't automatically embrace it either.
wayne green
Well, I don't either.
They have to have a lot of evidence before I say, well, I guess I agree with that.
art bell
But here we're talking about a guy who says we never went to the moon.
That's you.
You say we never went to the moon, right?
wayne green
I say that I've been convinced of that, yes.
How?
Well, it started out with Renee's book, NASA Mooned America.
And when that arrived, I said, oh, boy, here's another kook.
Because I get a lot of really weird stuff coming into me.
And I read it, and he made 30 really good, solid points in there.
And I said, golly, I think he must be right.
And then I read Bill Kaising's We Never Went to the Moon.
And then I read, let's see what was it?
Well, Moongate by Brian.
art bell
Yeah, if we never went to the moon, Wayne, then that's the biggest conspiracy of them all.
That is a corker.
No question about it.
Today, we're going through a big question mark with regard to the Sidonia pictures that we're supposedly getting delivered from Mars.
And a lot of people are screeching, conspiracy.
wayne green
Well, now, if you put yourself in the position of NASA, Where they were told by the president, by Kennedy, that we're going to go to the moon.
And they were budgeted $40 billion for doing that.
art bell
Yes.
wayne green
And then they discovered: hey, we can't do this.
We don't have the technology to do this.
art bell
So then the Russians also went to the moon.
wayne green
Oh, they sent probes.
art bell
No, well.
Yes.
Let's see.
That's right.
They never sent a man.
wayne green
No, they never sent a man.
And they wanted to be there first.
And they discovered that you couldn't do it.
So if you put NASA in that position, and now they allow pictures of Mars to show artifacts, the pressure is going to be on.
We've got to send somebody to Mars.
How are they going to explain to people?
art bell
Convince me, Wayne.
unidentified
How to do it.
art bell
How did we fake the moon thing?
Most of all, I guess, tell me why it's impossible.
wayne green
Okay.
Well, first of all, you look at some of the pictures.
Now, I have looked over every available picture that I could find of this, and there's supposed to be thousands of them.
And it turns out that there's about a dozen pictures that you can get, and that's all.
And when you look at those, number one, you'll see that not one picture shows any stars.
And there's a good reason for that.
art bell
I think there is, too.
It's because the camera didn't have enough light sensitivity to pick the stars up.
And that's not surprising.
Look, I can take my CCD one lux or better camera outside and point it at the stars, and I don't see a star anywhere.
The best I can do is get a moon.
wayne green
Well, when the astronauts first went out into space, they remarked on how incredibly bright the stars were.
art bell
Right?
They ought to be bright and steady without the atmospheric flicker.
wayne green
Exactly.
So none of these pictures show any.
Now, if you put yourself in the place of NASA, if they show stars, there's going to be some astronomer somewhere that says, well, now let's see if those stars are in the right place for those people standing on the moon at that particular moment.
art bell
Ah, I see.
I was going to say, if you were going to fake somebody being on the moon, you'd put stars in there.
wayne green
Right.
Only if you knew exactly where they were going to be from that position.
art bell
That's a good point.
But I honestly think that I'm right.
Now, they didn't have very good cameras back then, Wayne.
And if you take a good CCD outside right now.
wayne green
Well, they had Hassselblads.
art bell
Yeah, they had Hassselblads.
wayne green
They don't come much better than that.
art bell
Well, I suppose not.
But if you have a lighted item in the foreground, like an astronaut or like the surface of the moon, which they had lighted and was lighted, then you're not going to see anything behind it way out and very weak like stars.
They certainly got shots of the Earth.
wayne green
Yep.
Number two.
art bell
Well, but you went right over that.
How'd they get the shots of the Earth?
wayne green
Oh, heck, that's not hard.
We're taking pictures of Earth from our low-Earth satellites.
art bell
But they got it with the moon's horizon there.
Earth rise.
wayne green
That's not difficult to do.
They have that on the movie Destination Moon, which was, you know, what, 10 years or 15 years earlier.
art bell
All right, so let's leave that as a question mark.
No stars in the photographs.
wayne green
I know that's true.
One of the things that you notice when you're watching the, looking at the pictures or watching the videos of the moon is that they're kicking up dust and that they're making footprints in the dust.
Now, scientist Fred Whipple of the Smithsonian says, I don't believe you can do that.
art bell
Kick up dust?
wayne green
Right.
Why not?
art bell
Why not?
wayne green
Because, well, what they did at North American Aviation was run a test, and they evacuated a jar with dust in it.
art bell
Yes.
wayne green
And they dropped a steel ball on it, and it just barely made a dent.
It doesn't kick up any dust at all because it takes atmosphere between the dust particles to make it dust.
art bell
Well, yeah, but motion.
I mean, when you walk, there's kinetic energy.
Yes, but there's motion, and so it would kick it up, and the moon has, what, about an eighth, is it an eighth gravity or something like that?
wayne green
One-sixth.
art bell
One-sixth gravity.
So the dust would kick, some of it would go up and come down very slowly.
wayne green
The dust should, according to the tests that have been done, be like hard-packed dirt and not kick up at all.
art bell
Well.
wayne green
And a steel ball should just about bounce on it.
art bell
Why?
It's no more dense.
wayne green
Because there's no atmosphere to hold the particles apart.
art bell
Yes, but a steel ball, whatever weight it is, at one-sixth gravity, if there is dust there, is going to displace dust when it falls, right?
wayne green
No.
It's going to make a slight extent, but just a very slight one.
art bell
Well, nevertheless, there is some energy there as the ball hits the dust.
It's going to displace.
wayne green
But the dust is not going to kick up.
And when you look at the movies, they're picking up dust several inches high.
art bell
Well, they were, as I recall, they were hopskipping along, too, at a pretty good rate, weren't they?
wayne green
Yes, but not at the rate, or not at the hopping that you would expect at 1-6 gravity.
They have one place, one place on a video, where they are jumping up and down, and for some reason, that particular part of the video, the foreground is obscured by the limb so that you can't see what they're jumping on.
And it looks like they're jumping on a trampoline.
art bell
All right.
All right.
Hold on, Wayne.
We're at the bottom of the hour here.
I don't know.
I don't buy it.
I think we did go to the moon.
At least I think we did.
And I'll listen to the rest of the evidence.
It is one of the most controversial things Wayne Green talks about, so I thought we'd kick that one off right away.
Did we or did we not go to the moon?
Wayne says no, and we'll hear the rest of the evidence.
I'm Art Bell.
unidentified
This is Coast to Coast A.M. To
talk with Arkbell in the Kingdom of Nye, from east of the Rockies, dial 1, 800-825-5033.
1-800-825-5033.
West of the Rockies, including Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, and New Mexico.
1-800-618-8255.
1-800-618-8255.
Now again, here's Art Bell.
art bell
Once again, here I am.
This is some really good stuff, and I'm still not saying who it is.
A lot of you know, some of you don't.
unidentified
Soon I will tell, but come here.
art bell
Listen for a moment.
unidentified
Listen for a moment.
I was cold and breathless And you were moving out tonight The shadows of the sun The trees appear In this blood tonight That's good stuff, isn't it?
We've got to leave your midnight We've got to play it all the way What does that sound like here?
Let me tell you how to dance.
Let me tell you how to dance.
art bell
Kind of like an early Stevie Nix, I'd say, wouldn't you?
Remarkable voice.
New bumper music.
I'm Art Bell, and this is Coast to Coast A. And Wayne Green is here trying to prove to me and to you that we never went to the moon.
And we'll get back to him in a moment.
Once again, Wayne Green.
wayne green
Wayne?
art bell
Hey.
All right.
Back to the moon for a moment.
I really have trouble with this, Wayne.
I think we went to the moon.
I really do.
wayne green
Let me give you a couple of for instance here.
unidentified
Okay.
art bell
Sure.
wayne green
I have watched videos of the people, of the guys on the moon, and they are talking back and forth with Houston.
There's no sound delay.
None.
unidentified
Now, how'd they do that?
wayne green
How'd they do that?
It takes sound almost two seconds to make that trip.
art bell
That is correct.
wayne green
And, you know, I've worked moonbound, so I know what it sounds like.
art bell
Well, are you going back to when they originally did it or going back to coverage video that you've seen since?
Because obviously they could have taken the delay out for presentation purposes later.
unidentified
Right.
wayne green
Yeah, that's possible.
One other factor, or a number of other factors, a ham friend of mine, who has written articles for me and I've known for many years, wrote and said, look, I was the head of data processing for NASA back in the 70s.
And I was looking through one of the storerooms one day looking for a tape that I could use.
And I found one and I put it on to see what was on it.
art bell
Yes.
wayne green
And he said, it was the complete Apollo 11 trip, all of the displays and so forth.
And he said, I did a thesis on that at college, so I knew that trip very well.
And he said, the only problem with the tapes was that they were all, or the tape was that it was dated five months before the trip.
art bell
Oops.
Well, how about a simulator?
Sure.
Look, I'm just doing my best here to give answers to what you're saying, and that would be the obvious.
wayne green
Now, they brought back 800 pounds of rocks.
art bell
Right.
wayne green
And according to Rene, he says, these rocks, according to a number of experts that looked at them, look an awful lot like what we have down in Antarctica.
art bell
Right.
wayne green
I got a letter from a ham who said, look, I was in Antarctica, and I picked up 800 pounds of rocks, and I put them in crates and shipped them to NASA.
art bell
Are you serious?
Yeah.
wayne green
I published this in my editorial.
art bell
Is this ham alive?
wayne green
Yeah, sure.
art bell
Will he say that on the radio?
wayne green
I'll bet he will.
art bell
He did this at...
wayne green
Yep, to send them 800 pounds of rocks.
art bell
Why would they go to a ham?
Why wouldn't they go to NSA, CIAA, whatever?
Why wouldn't they go to a super secret agency who would go get the rocks and have them flown back secretly?
wayne green
I don't know.
But that's what he said he did.
And he didn't know what it was for.
And until I started writing about this in my editorials, it didn't connect for him.
Another thing, we've watched the videos, and there are several videos.
Sherry's doing a little project on this, and there are several videos that show both astronauts on the moon at the same time.
art bell
Yes.
wayne green
And the camera moves to follow them.
Now, how'd they do that?
art bell
Well, I'm trying to remember.
I think it was a...
At times...
Now, I have no answer to that one.
wayne green
Also, there's a visor photograph.
You can see the reflections in the visor.
art bell
Yes.
unidentified
Of two people.
How do they do that?
art bell
I don't know.
wayne green
Okay.
The amount of radiation that you have in space from the solar flares, according to the scientific estimates, once you get outside of the Van Allen belt, it takes about six feet of lead to protect you from that, so that you can stay alive.
art bell
To keep you from getting a fatal dose?
wayne green
Right.
Now, the LEM, the LEM, was made of foam plastic.
art bell
Now, I have a question.
Would this be under a condition of a flare?
Okay, well, they were rolling the dice on that one.
wayne green
Well, during the trip, it was very difficult to find the number of solar flares that occurred during their trips.
But persistence paid off because that was kept classified.
And there were a number of solar flares during the trips, a number that they really couldn't have survived.
The skin of the limb is foam plastic with two sheets of like aluminum foil, one on the inside, one on the outside, and not enough to protect the person from solar flares.
So the radiation out there, which is what the number of people suspect kept the Russians from venturing out beyond the Van Allen belt.
art bell
Well, I don't know.
wayne green
Well, then what's going to prevent us from going to Mars?
art bell
I'm not sure about that one.
And I have interviewed a number of astronauts who also really didn't have an answer for that.
What they said was that it was a roll of the dice.
They knew there was danger.
And had there been a significant flare, there could have been mortal danger.
They admitted that.
wayne green
Yep.
art bell
Now, their story was that there was no such flare, and you're saying that's wrong.
wayne green
I'm saying that there definitely were flares.
I believe the number is 26 flares during their various trips.
Well, because they have flares every day.
art bell
Why do you think the astronauts, the majority of them who went to the moon, who participated in the Apollo program, all have had desperate troubles, marriage troubles?
wayne green
Because they have to keep a secret from their wives and from everybody.
art bell
Drinking problems, really serious problems.
wayne green
And you recall, Mitchell told you that he didn't remember what happened when he was on the moon.
art bell
Well, no, what he said was that he didn't remember his emotions when he was there.
Yeah, I remember that.
wayne green
Yeah.
Another thing that Renee pointed out that I thought was interesting was the number of astronauts that died strangely just before the moon trips, with five of them dying in their own planes in one year.
art bell
Well, are you convinced, or is it like 98%, 99%?
wayne green
Right up in there, yep.
It would take a lot to unconvince me.
I've read the books that these people have written, that the astronauts have written, and they almost don't say anything about the moon.
It's all about the preparation and their lives and so forth.
And they have almost nothing to say about the moon.
art bell
That is true.
That really is true.
And when you ask them in person about the moon, they're very...
wayne green
Right.
I heard that.
art bell
You heard it.
And Ed Mitchell actually got to the point where he said he had an open mind with regard to the things that Richard said were on the moon.
Now, that really blew me away because if you were there and you had looked all around the horizon and you would look and you didn't see glass structures rising into the sky, there would be no doubt about it.
You wouldn't end up saying, well, I'll keep an open mind on the subject.
You'd say, hey, you're full of you-know-what.
I was there, buddy, and there was no such thing.
wayne green
Sure.
art bell
Right?
wayne green
And if you saw something like that, we would have so many trips going back there that it would be a shuttle.
art bell
But to imagine that our own government has conducted a conspiracy of this size, I mean, it's just, it's absolutely mind-boggling.
And then it makes smaller conspiracies like, well, gee, are we getting the real photographs of Mars seem very insignificant by comparison?
wayne green
The ET and the UFO thing, that's not very insignificant.
And you have documented that up and down the kazoo.
I agree.
art bell
Okay.
Well, do I agree?
I certainly agree, Wayne, that there are things that are traversing our atmosphere and flying in our skies that are totally inexplicable.
Now, that doesn't mean that I know first person that there are extraterrestrials piloting craft, because I don't know that.
wayne green
Well, we can't know everything firsthand.
We can't know about the atom, and we can't know about a lot of things.
We get so involved with things the way they look to be.
For instance, I can understand why everybody got upset when Galileo was saying that the Earth went around the sun instead of the sun going around the earth, because we can all see The sun going up and we can see it going down.
art bell
It caused big trouble.
wayne green
And we have a similar problem with the concept of time.
Time is linear.
We can feel it.
We see it.
art bell
We live it.
wayne green
And the idea that time is something else that, beyond what we can see, feel, and experience, is just awfully difficult to get to live with.
art bell
Well, look here.
I interview theoretical physicists, some of the best minds in America.
wayne green
Yep.
art bell
And they're telling me right now that they believe that time travel is indeed going to be possible.
I mean, they're going from one day when they said, impossible, not a chance.
Today, you interview the brightest minds in America, and they're saying, oh, yes.
Oh, yes, there's going to be time travel.
wayne green
Well, we have precognition.
art bell
Yes, I believe that.
I know that.
wayne green
And, well, not only know it, it is proven, thoroughly proven scientifically.
There's a book, The Conscious Universe, by Dean Radden that just demolishes any skeptic with the mathematical.
art bell
I have no doubt.
That's one I can give you firsthand.
I've known that.
Several occasions.
wayne green
The cases works.
That explains, or that brings up the whole question of what the heck time is.
art bell
It does.
It absolutely does.
wayne green
I had a fellow visiting me here who is an expert on dowsing just a couple of days ago.
And we got talking about this.
And I suddenly got the idea, look, if we think of time as being, you know, with us being so locked into the linear time, this explains how people can have angels, how people can have spirit guides.
art bell
Oh, I agree.
wayne green
And so forth.
And I suspect that angels and spirit guides are our own souls, for the lack of a better word, that are communicating with us in this timeless area.
art bell
That may be.
As a matter of fact, in the hour, before you were on, I interviewed a young lady.
I don't know whether you heard it or not.
wayne green
Yep.
art bell
Oh, you did?
Good.
Then you heard a terrifying account of some evil spirit tugging at her to the point where she had scratches on her legs.
Right.
And she is being pursued and has been pursued by this thing for years.
Now, you believe that?
wayne green
I think you did right to tell her to go to an exorcist.
Yep.
Because that may be some part of her that's doing that.
art bell
It may be.
It may have been her daughter, as I suggested.
So then you believe there are evil entities, there are good entities, or angels, or guides, or whatever you want to call them.
wayne green
I suspect that angels are ourselves.
art bell
I've never heard you talk about this before.
wayne green
Well, I haven't talked about it.
I haven't.
I've just started thinking about it recently, and you'll see it in my editorials.
art bell
Really?
Are you writing about this as well?
wayne green
Sure.
art bell
So, no.
Let me hear that again.
You said you suspect angels are ourselves.
wayne green
Are us.
art bell
Angels are us.
wayne green
Right.
And the spirit guides, Hilarion, Seth, and so forth, I think are the spirits of the people that are contacting.
Every major composer has said, the music comes to me from somewhere.
And, you know, John Phillips Sousa said that every one of his marches came to him when he was kind of meditating, and all of a sudden it came to him completely written.
And Mozart reported the same thing, as did Beethoven and many other composers.
Authors say, look, I sat down and the book wrote itself.
art bell
I've said that myself, Wayne.
wayne green
Exactly.
Well, I experience that every day here.
art bell
Yeah, you do a lot of writing, I know.
wayne green
Yep.
art bell
And it just, it actually, it was not true, Wayne, of my first book, I wrote an autobiography.
And it was incredibly painful because it was like going through a full-life review.
unidentified
Oh, sure.
art bell
It was horrid.
The second book, The Quickening, that one just came out.
wayne green
And you did a nice job on it.
art bell
It just came out.
wayne green
I've got it here, and you did a nice job on it.
art bell
Well, thank you.
That's very kind.
I'm not even trying to plug the book here.
I'm just trying to say you're right.
It just, you know, it just.
wayne green
Well, many of the things that I write, I just sit down and say, an idea comes to me, you know, from who knows where.
art bell
Yes, but we are creative beings, Wayne.
wayne green
are we not are you are are we really going to sit here and suggest that we are in effect channeling this information or this information is coming to us from some This is our consciousness, which is forever.
And part of our consciousness comes down to earth every so forth, or up or out or whatever, into lifetimes.
But when I hypnotize people, I used to be a psychotherapist, and I found that many times I had to go back into past lives to resolve present life problems.
art bell
Past lives.
So everybody has past lives.
You believe in reincarnation.
wayne green
Absolutely.
art bell
I didn't know that.
wayne green
Oh, sure.
art bell
I had no idea you believed in reincarnation.
wayne green
Oh, well, if you read any of the books on the subject, they don't leave any wiggle room.
art bell
But wait a minute.
The church, they've got quite a bit to say about that.
wayne green
Well, I have a little bit of argument with the church on a few things.
art bell
I'll bet you do.
All right, Wayne, hold on.
In celebration of this revelation, here you go, folks.
Listen to this one.
We'll talk more next hour.
I'm Art Bell.
unidentified
I was a highwayman, along the coast roads I did rise With sword and pistol by my side Many a young maid lost her marbles to my trade Many a soldier shed his white blood on my blade The bastards hung me in the spring of twenty-five
But I am still alive I was a sailor I was born upon the sky With the sea I did abide I sailed a scooter around the Horn of Mexico I went along to the world to make the little float
And when the yard broke off they said that I got killed But I am living still
I was a dam building across the river deep and wide Where steel and water did collide A lake called Boulder on the wild cloud of the road I slipped and fell into the wet concrete below
They buried me in that great room that knows no sound But I am still around I'll always be around and around and around and around and around
I'll fly a star ship Cross the universe This is an encore presentation of Coast to Coast A.M. with Art Bell from the Kingdom of Night.
art bell
All right, my guest is Wayne Green, a fellow ham, and I read his magazine when I was a youngster.
So he's got to be pretty old, long in the tooth.
You're pretty old, huh, Wayne?
wayne green
Well, I've been around for a while, 75 right now.
art bell
You're 75?
unidentified
Yep.
art bell
Yep.
As I was coming up, a young ham, beating my head against the wall, I used to read your magazine.
wayne green
Oh, good.
art bell
All right, listen, Wayne.
wayne green
My editorials have not changed.
art bell
It's true.
They're still real wordy and controversial.
You're not getting away on this reincarnation thing, but I got this facts, and I just don't believe it.
Let's bring this fellow on board.
His name is Terry O'Grady.
Is that right, Terry?
unidentified
Yes, sir, it is.
art bell
You don't mind your name being used, do you?
unidentified
Not a bit.
Hi, Terry.
Hi, Wayne.
art bell
Do you know each other?
unidentified
No, no, we haven't met.
art bell
Okay.
Terry, where are you?
unidentified
I'm in Oakdale, Minnesota.
art bell
Oakdale, Minnesota.
unidentified
KFTP 1500.
art bell
Yeah, that's a big powerhouse.
All right.
Laying on us, you claim that you brought back 800 pounds of rocks from the Antarctic?
Yes, we did.
When was this?
Under what conditions?
What ship?
unidentified
Well, it was the Operation Deep Freeze 3 or 4.
I'd have to check with the Association to find out which one it was.
I was aboard the USS Glacier AGB4 with the icebreaker.
art bell
Yes, sir.
unidentified
And we loaded five, I think it was five crates of rocks and about two or three hundred ice cores at the same time.
And we brought them back to the state.
Where they were going, I don't know.
I didn't see the bill on them.
We definitely loaded rocks from the Antarctic.
art bell
That's what Wayne said, five crates.
Didn't you say that, Wayne?
wayne green
I said about 800 pounds is what my informant told me that they picked up down there, and it was addressed to NASA.
unidentified
My wife is from Christchurch, New Zealand, Barbara Coulter, and she can remember us talking about hauling rocks back to the States.
art bell
And nobody, I mean, didn't somebody at the time wonder why you were doing that?
unidentified
No, it was a lot of scientific things going on down there.
We had Van Allen on the ship, and Von Braun was on it at one time.
So it was a big scientific expedition.
It was fabulous science.
As an aside, I don't know if Wayne knows this, but the Navy stood down from Antarctic operations about a month ago, and they turned it over to the New York Air National Guard.
wayne green
No, I didn't know that.
unidentified
At the same time, they announced they were building a new base at the South Pole for $265 million.
So there's something going on, Donner.
wayne green
Yep.
unidentified
Well, we hauled a rock.
There's no doubt about that.
wayne green
We used to be able to talk to the South Pole on ham radio.
art bell
So did I. Terry, Terry, I appreciate your coming on the air and telling us this.
unidentified
I'm glad to chip in.
Wayne, I believe the book.
Thank you.
art bell
All right, take care.
I still don't know that I do, but that is an astounding thing.
So they did bring back 800 pounds of rocks.
No doubt about that, I guess.
Holy mackerel.
Wayne, could we really have...
wayne green
Could we really hide the UFOs and the ETs?
Of course not.
It'd be impossible, right?
But they're still denying it.
art bell
I don't want to, yeah, but I don't want to couple them.
wayne green
They're both.
art bell
Maybe they are ultimately coupled.
Maybe they are.
wayne green
They're both cover-ups.
art bell
And what do you think about...
Now, in your opinion, we can send a robotic craft, a satellite or a robot to Mars, yes?
wayne green
Right?
art bell
Do you agree?
Yes, oh, yes.
wayne green
No, I don't think there's any big problem with that.
That can withstand the solar flares and so forth.
art bell
Do you believe that we are getting the truth from JPL and NASA with regard to the photographs that they've given us so far?
wayne green
Well, do you believe it after that fellow that you had on last night?
art bell
You mean Kent.
wayne green
Right.
art bell
I now have information about Kent that I can't talk about.
wayne green
Okay.
art bell
Late information in the last hour or two.
Look, I don't know what I believe.
Right now, I believe that Kent has a very strong story.
And I think it could be true.
wayne green
Well, it certainly fits in with all of the other information that you've had.
I like things to add up like that.
art bell
Yeah, but what it adds up to, along with what you're talking about, that we never went to the moon, is that we are profoundly being lied to.
Profoundly.
You're willing to accept that, buy that?
wayne green
Yep.
Well, you know, I experienced this early on, as I mentioned before, with Amelia Earhart.
60 years later, they're still covering up.
unidentified
Yeah, I think it's...
wayne green
Right.
Well, I knew that before she went.
art bell
You did?
Yes.
I guess I'm just old-fashioned.
You know, I don't want to believe that our own government, which after all is made up of us, greedy, self-centered, power-mongering, and all the rest of it, I admit it, when they get to Washington, that's the way they are.
But they're made up basically of us, that they could so profoundly lie to us.
wayne green
Well, they're made up of us, but us also includes Von Keredich and a lot of other uses.
unidentified
It includes the Tootsies and the Hutus.
art bell
Yeah, I know.
All right, well.
wayne green
That's us.
art bell
That's us.
All right.
Well, you said something that really did kind of blow me away before the top of the arrow.
You said you believed in reincarnation.
You have hypnotized people and taken them to prior lives?
wayne green
One of the things that I'm going to send you is my guide to books that you're absolutely crazy if you don't read.
And there's a couple in there on reincarnation and past lives and so forth.
And I think that you'll find, and I review these books in there.
These are not books that I sell.
These are books that I've read and I say, gee.
art bell
You just recommend them.
wayne green
If somebody doesn't read this, they really have a problem.
art bell
I can embrace the concept of reincarnation without a problem.
I've never seen direct evidence of a prior life.
I've heard an awful lot of evidence given.
I've interviewed a lot of people that have regressed people into prior lives and then actually gone back and checked records, and they've really come up with evidence that what this person said did, in fact, occur.
wayne green
How about Dolores Cannon and her books about Nostradamus?
She makes an awfully good case for it there.
By the way, I did call her and talk with her, and I've read her books, and they are fascinating.
Nostradamus, of course, puts the great calamity at 2028.
And I notice, have you read Mass Dreams of the Future yet?
art bell
I have, yes.
wayne green
Okay, that one says that it's going to happen in July this year.
art bell
You know, this is a different Wayne Green.
The Wayne Green that I have interviewed the last few times is a real hardware kind of guy.
You know, computers, computers.
wayne green
And I'm publishing a journal on cold fusion.
art bell
And, yeah, very hardware-oriented.
Now, the Wayne Green I'm hearing tonight is a really different kind of Wayne Green.
This is an almost metaphysical Wayne Green.
When did all this begin integrating into your personality?
wayne green
Oh, golly, early on.
I have always been interested in anomalies.
And I say, these are red flags saying, hey, there's something here you need to know about.
And, of course, the normal reaction for scientists is to sweep an anomaly under and say, yeah, that's an anomaly and not have to think about it again.
art bell
You early on, you published a magazine all about ham radio, and I remember reading it.
And then you were at the forefront of computers when computers came on the scene, man, you were there right away.
wayne green
I started a magazine within five weeks.
art bell
Well, actually, what you really did in the beginning, because I remember reading about it, you started writing and in fact getting ads and writing about computers in a ham magazine, which outraged a lot of hams.
wayne green
Oh, sure.
art bell
And they said, what the hell is Green doing?
This is supposed to be a ham magazine.
It looks more like a computer magazine.
wayne green
And then I started Byte Magazine.
art bell
Byte magazine.
That's right.
wayne green
But I had the same reaction when I was promoting FM and repeaters.
art bell
Yep.
wayne green
And I went around the country and held repeater conferences, got the repeaters all organized onto standard channels over everybody's dead body.
And I started a special magazine just on repeaters.
Yep.
art bell
And that became cellular phone technology.
wayne green
That's right.
But the ham reaction was, stop all of the repeater articles.
If you have another repeater article, I'm going to cancel my subscription.
art bell
I remember that.
wayne green
Right.
art bell
I remember that.
And frankly, I'm going to tell you, I felt that way at the time.
I said, what the hell is he doing?
wayne green
Then gradually I began to get letters saying, hey, boy, you're right.
Hey, these are fabulous.
art bell
Yeah, well, I bet it was a while before those came in.
Oh, sure.
I'm used to that.
Actually, somebody has written and asked, I think, the operative Question now.
Computers, of course, now I don't know where the world would be without them.
Maybe in 2000 we'll find out.
Anyway, the fact of the matter is, somebody wants to know if computers are killing ham radio.
wayne green
No, ham radio is killing, I should say, the ARL mainly is killing ham radio.
Computers are not helping a lot because it is so easy to get on and talk to people anywhere in the world via the internet.
It does afford a good alternative.
art bell
Now, there goes your picture down off the wall at the ARRL.
wayne green
Oh, my picture has always been behind a dartboard.
unidentified
I am...
wayne green
And I'm a 60-year member this year.
art bell
I think, though, that there is some truth to the fact the internet and computers are killing ham radio.
Well, look, if you're 12 or 13 years old, Wayne, and you have a choice between studying for a test to get a very expensive radio that probably costs, frankly, more than a computer these days, to be able to talk to somebody perhaps on the other side of the world as the sunspot cycle increases, versus a computer where you can see the guy you're talking to on the other side of the world and hear him clearly at the same time.
That's not much of a choice.
That's not really a hard choice to make, Wayne.
wayne green
That's right.
Fortunately, amateur radio provides a number of different hobbies.
You know, we think of it as one hobby, but it's a whole collection.
art bell
But there's no doubt about the fact that it's a dying hobby.
And it's full of older people, not younger people.
And when the older people die, the FCC is going to damn well auction off the frequencies for money.
wayne green
But they're already saying that these are on the chopping block.
art bell
Yeah, you bet they are.
wayne green
I don't agree.
Well, you're just saying what I'm saying in my editorial.
art bell
So what do we do?
How do we save it?
Or can it not be saved?
wayne green
What I propose is that we try to save our school system at the same time.
And our school system, as you know, is one of the worst in the world.
unidentified
I do agree.
art bell
They are connected.
It's all a matter of education.
wayne green
What I would like to have, and the model of a school that is fabulous, that is the best that I know of in the world, is this Sudbury Valley School down in Framingham, Massachusetts.
And I've got eight different books written about that school.
Now, that school has no curriculum, no grades, no mandatory attendance, et cetera, et cetera.
And their graduates can get into any college.
Their graduates are outstanding.
Now, what I want to do is have our schools have an eight-year course in the fundamentals of electricity, communications, and computers.
And have this course taught by a magazine, either monthly or bimonthly, so that it'll be up to date rather than a textbook, which is two to five years out of date by the time it comes out.
And in there, we will have columns about the various high-tech clubs or groups that people can have, like a column on amateur radio and what's going on.
We need youngsters in amateur radio to develop new technologies.
Good heavens, I helped pioneer Merriband FM back in 1946.
art bell
All right, now let me stop you right there.
Go for it.
Look here.
When I was young, I built my receiver.
I built my transmitter.
There were Heathkits available.
Things were of the sort that you could either build, homebrew, or if you bought something, you could open it up and fix it.
And I've got to tell you, even with as much electronics as I have in my background, I've got a 1,000 MP Yesoo sitting here.
And Wayne, if it broke, there's no way in hell that I would open that up and try to fix it.
It's going back to Yesu.
wayne green
Oh, I agree.
And I'm in the same fix now with handy talkies and so forth.
art bell
Well, of course.
We all are.
So how do we take a youngster and bring them up so that they can not only understand but participate in current technology?
wayne green
Well, we do have some kits that are awfully good and a lot of fun.
MFJ has some great ones.
Ramsey has some great ones and so forth.
But we can't go down to the corner store like we used to be able to.
art bell
They don't even have parts anymore.
wayne green
Exactly.
And there's a good reason for this.
They don't use parts for making radio equipment anymore.
They have modules.
unidentified
Yep.
wayne green
So there aren't any parts.
art bell
Even in the military, when people go through military tech schools, I can tell you right now, they're module replacers is what they are.
wayne green
Exactly.
No, the electronic technician that we knew 50 years ago is gone.
When I went through a radio...
When I went through radio school in the Navy, or radio technician school, we learned how to fix anything.
Yep.
And, you know, we could walk up to any piece of equipment, no matter what it was, and fix it.
art bell
Yep, that's it.
wayne green
Because we understood how everything worked.
art bell
Yes, but that's not possible.
wayne green
No, they don't have to teach that anymore.
Most of the equipment is self-servicing.
unidentified
It says replace module B. I know, I know.
art bell
I know, but that leads to a world where we don't have really technically qualified people.
wayne green
That's right.
art bell
Except some little cabal of individual experts who don't know the whole picture, even themselves.
They just do one certain little part.
wayne green
Well, this is reflected in our factories.
Now, I visited the American manufacturers of equipment, and we have Tentech down there, which is about the only one in America making equipment today.
And there's one technician, and he's an old guy.
And I go to the research, you know, the laboratory over in Yezoo, and I see a huge room with 50 engineers.
And they all come over and say, oh, W2NSD.
Oh, I'm J.A. So-and-so.
They're all hams.
art bell
And they're all Japanese.
wayne green
And they're all Japanese.
art bell
I know.
wayne green
And the same thing with the other Japanese manufacturers.
They have.
art bell
Kenwood, blah, blah, blah.
I know.
I know.
So we're in a world where what we did as youngsters is no longer possible.
Wayne, hold on.
We're at the bottom of the hour.
My guest is Wayne Green, and I am shortly going to open up the wines.
And the range of questions that you can ask Wayne is indeed very wide.
So we will continue this as long as it is interesting, and that it is.
I'm Mark Bell.
This is Coast to Coast AM.
unidentified
Oh, deep night this way.
I can't survive.
I can't take a life.
My father's alone.
Oh, baby.
art bell
All right.
Before we jump back where we were and I begin taking calls, there are a couple of things.
One, Robert from Makawau in Maui, Hawaii, I can pronounce that because I lived there once, sends the following that I want to respond to.
Dear Art, you're the best thing going on radio and I love you.
And thus I truly sympathize with you when I hear your long-cherished beliefs begin to fall prey to the quickening.
But just remember, beliefs are like belly buttons.
Everybody has one, and no two are the same.
More importantly, after we're born or reborn, we don't need them anymore.
Bless you, brother.
Aloha, Bob.
Bob, it's more serious than that.
long-cherished beliefs.
Long-cherished...
I still think we went to the moon.
And if I were to find out we didn't go to the moon, it would be more profound than just the crumbling of a long-cherished belief.
I'd cry.
I mean, I talk to people who believe in conspiracies.
I talk to people who believe that NASA's lying to us.
I don't want to believe that.
I don't want to believe that.
And I don't know that I do.
I listen.
This is an open forum, and I am fascinated by these kinds of things, and I listen.
But if I really believed that the people who lead us, or the cabal who supposedly secretly leads them, was doing this to us, I don't know that I can handle it.
How about that?
I'd just cry.
I mean, everything I know and cherish and have believed all my life is a lie.
That one just doesn't go down so easily.
I don't want to believe that about my own country.
I don't want to believe these things.
I really don't.
So, you know, it's more serious than just a belief crumbling.
It's everything I know and hold to be true suddenly being wrong and a lie.
And I just, I don't know that I would digest that very well at all.
Wayne, you're back on the air again, and here's a question for you.
Art, would you please ask Wayne what his take on sentient computers would be?
Is the internet going to birth something soon?
Dawn in Buffalo, New York.
And I, too, wonder about that.
I mean, we get faster and faster and faster, Wayne.
More memory.
When is it going to happen?
wayne green
Let me give you an answer, and I think you'll like this one.
art bell
Go.
wayne green
But I have a question for you first.
art bell
Sure.
wayne green
How can I get some of my books to you?
You need to read some.
They're not long books.
You need to read some.
For instance, my guide to books.
art bell
But Wayne, you know, books are like belly buttons.
wayne green
I know.
But my guide to books that you're crazy, if you haven't read, you at least ought to look through and see the reviews of the books.
Colonel Corso's book is in there.
Now, you're asking about night vision.
art bell
I've read Colonel Corso's book.
wayne green
Okay.
Corso says that we got that from ITTs.
art bell
I know.
wayne green
Okay.
And I have another book that I just put out.
It's a collection of my 1998 editorials, and it runs 92 pages.
And I'll be glad to send you a copy, and you'll see just what I've been writing for the last four months.
And I'm almost ready to put out the second issue for the next four months.
I'm that far ahead.
art bell
All I'm saying is that if I were to read, say, two or three books that documented why we didn't go to the moon, I would still be left with a terrible quandary because there are lots of good arguments about...
Look, here's one.
Here's one.
Art, we never sent people to the moon.
Ridiculous.
Of course we did.
The stars will be washed out by the exceptional brightness due to the lack of a significant atmosphere of the foreground objects, basic photography.
Air is required to make dust?
unidentified
Garbage.
art bell
Dust is simply small particles of rock.
The gap between the particles of dust on Earth is filled with air and filled with nothing on the moon.
The gaps are there because the dust does not fit together like a jigsaw puzzle piece.
If the moon started out as solid rock, which it did not, hits by meteorites would make the rock into dust in larger pieces.
The proof that the dust was being kicked up was in a near vacuum is because the dust fell to the ground at nearly the same speed as the astronaut did.
If there were air around when they filmed them, the dust would have taken more time to settle.
Faked the jumping on a trampoline?
And that was one monstrous trampoline.
I recall watching one of the astronauts skipping across lunarscape using very little muscle.
Observe the lack of balance of the arms.
So, in other words, Wayne, I could go on.
Yeah, but there's arguments, solid ones, on this side.
wayne green
Well, of course, I'm looking at a book that says that Fred Whipple of the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory in Cambridge, Massachusetts, contended that dust particles would become tightly packed together without gases to filter in between and separate them.
David Bowen did an experiment to verify this at the North American Aviation Company, and he released a steel ball into a container of fine dust-like particles, which promptly sank.
When the ball was dropped under the same conditions in a near vacuum, the ball stopped at the surface and bounced.
art bell
All right.
wayne green
The resulting crust consisted of dust particles so compacted that a semi-solid was created capable of supporting the ball.
Werner Brand Braun agreed in his 1970 one book, Space Frontier.
art bell
Well, all right.
And so forth.
wayne green
So we can trot experts out right and left.
art bell
Yeah, exactly.
wayne green
What I say is I've read a number of books on this here, and they have managed to convince me of this, and so forth and so on.
art bell
Yeah.
You know, it's so profound.
If what you're saying is true, then everything we know to be whole, we thought to be true, the beliefs, the really solid, profound, deep beliefs about our country, they're all wrong.
They're all wrong.
wayne green
Well, why is it that the ET cover-up hasn't struck you the same way?
art bell
The same way.
Well, at times it does.
At times it does.
But again, I have no absolute proof.
I really don't.
I've seen something myself twice that I can't explain.
But that's something short of, hey, I was abducted.
I was on a ship.
Hey, I saw some guys from somewhere else, something like that.
Believe me, if that happens, I'll have a different attitude.
wayne green
You've talked to a number of people who have been abducted, right?
art bell
Countless.
wayne green
And, you know, I talked to Michael Wolf here several times.
And, boy, does he have a, in the latest issue of Nexus, they have an interview with him.
And, of course, he's been high up in the government.
And he's been abducted all his life.
art bell
Well, I know.
I mean, I've interviewed Travis Walton.
I've interviewed countless people who claim abduction, but that's still not my experience.
And I'm not calling them liars?
wayne green
Well, you're in.
art bell
Because quite obviously, they believe.
I mean, people have had lie detector tests.
They certainly believe what they're saying.
wayne green
Now, wait.
Do you believe that the Earth goes around the Sun?
art bell
Yes.
wayne green
Have you seen any proof of this in your own eyes?
First person.
art bell
First-person proof.
No, I can't say that I have.
Okay.
Are you telling me it doesn't?
wayne green
No, but I'm saying that we have to accept other people's research on things on some things.
We can't personally see and feel everything ourselves.
art bell
Well, there is conventional scientific belief, and then there's conspiracy theories.
wayne green
Well, of course, as soon as you get into consciousness, you get into an area where conventional science research has a very difficult time and stigmatizes anybody that tries to get into that area.
art bell
Now, as for me, he refuses to research it.
I don't refuse to research anything, and I'm open-minded to everything, but I don't leap first at the conspiracy answer.
I leap first at what seems to be what mainstream science seems to say.
Now, I know I deal all the time with people who believe other things, but if I were to actually begin to get truly personally convinced that we've been lied to right down the line from the Apollo days, even maybe before into the Mercury days, through today and the Mars pictures and all the rest of it, part of life for me, Wayne, would crumble.
wayne green
Well, maybe we better not try to get that information to you.
I don't believe that anybody can read Renee's book, NASA Moon America, without being convinced.
I have been in touch with over 500 people that have read the book.
I've never heard from any of them that they weren't convinced.
art bell
You want to hear something cool?
You wrote about computers early on.
I have a serious love-hate relationship with computers.
I just have.
Yeah, that's right.
So this is going to warm the heart of just about everybody out there.
It seems that right in the middle of a computer expo demonstrating Windows 98 to the public, Bill Gates' computer crashed.
It seems one of his cohorts tried to plug a scanner into his unit.
Poetic justice, says Tom from Michigan.
And boy, do I agree, Tom.
I only wish I could have been there to watch Bill Gates' face as this sucker went down.
wayne green
Well, of course, I've known Bill right from the very first days that he got involved with all of this.
art bell
Well, this brings us back to the sentient computer question.
wayne green
Okay, on the sentient computer, one of the things that we know about life is that somehow our cells and the cells of all living things seem to have some kind of sentience.
art bell
Right.
wayne green
And when they take cells from a person and separate them and put them in a petri dish and grow them and put a meter on them.
art bell
Yes.
wayne green
And put a meter on the person.
art bell
Right.
wayne green
Those two meters will go in tandem.
art bell
That's accurate, I believe, yes.
wayne green
Right.
Well, the Secret Life of Your Cells by Stone really documents that.
And I ran across that by talking to Brian O'Leary and to Cleve Baxter and Christopher Bird.
And at any rate, we know from the Secret Life of Plants book by Bird and Tompkins, that plants are aware of what we're thinking.
art bell
I know.
See, that sounds like you're crazy as a loon, but there is scientific evidence to back up what you're saying.
wayne green
Oh, Lord, yes.
art bell
They have hooked up machines to plants, and they had this incredible experiment that I was told about here recently where a scientist came in and was adjacent to a plant, and he took a head of lettuce and took a knife and whack, whacked the thing in half.
Well, the monitoring units went absolutely berserk.
The plant reacted to that.
Now, as a control, the scientists then left.
And there were other scientists who came in.
The plant was reacting calmly and normally as they were there.
And here comes the guy who had sliced the lettuce in half.
This time he comes in the room without a knife, but the plant suddenly, when this guy comes in, goes nuts again.
Now, the implications of that are incredible.
It gets worse.
Or better.
I don't know which.
wayne green
I have a video on the secret life of plants.
And one of the things that they show is a Japanese couple that is teaching a plant to speak.
art bell
Say, what?
Yes.
unidentified
Teaching it to repeat sounds.
wayne green
And what they did was hook a meter to the plant and had it drive an oscillator.
And then they would make a sound and the plant would imitate it.
art bell
Oh, come on, Wayne.
wayne green
I got it on video.
And you can do the broadcast over television.
unidentified
Really?
art bell
Yep.
I have a very hard time with that one.
You heard a plant talk.
Wait a minute.
Come on, Wayne.
You heard a plant talk.
wayne green
That's what's on video.
It's there.
art bell
You actually heard it.
wayne green
Yep.
unidentified
Repeating sounds.
wayne green
Repeating the sound of words.
Of course, it was in Japanese.
art bell
Well, I know.
So what is we get a little Ohio gazaimas from the plant or something?
I mean, what did it say?
wayne green
Well, it started out just making a regular sound, and then the woman kept repeating the word, and the plant adapted to repeating that word.
That's very hard to believe You interviewed the woman who had a transplant and who had the feelings of the fellow.
Well, we have similar reports from people that have blood transfusions.
Both the transfuse and the transfuser seem to be able to be in communication in some way.
Well, getting back to sentience, somehow cells have sentience.
They have something that computers don't have.
And I don't think that computers are going to have it no matter how much memory and so forth that we give it.
art bell
Well, I guess it depends on how we define sentience.
unidentified
Awareness, consciousness.
art bell
Awareness of self, right?
So it's not just a matter of the proper number of neural connections and the speed of the processor and the amount of storage and sort of a totality of this all.
wayne green
Well, of course.
And with the brain, we have not located any place in the brain where memories are stored.
What we've located is switchboard that connects into things.
Memories seem to be stored in some other medium.
And since we carry these memories with us after death, whatever after death is, when you get rid of the concept of time, this is something that computers don't have and can't do.
art bell
All right.
Make sense?
Maybe, but I'm not convinced there will not eventually be a sentience because I don't know what consciousness really is.
We can say things like self-awareness, but we don't know what adds up to self-awareness, do we?
We don't really know.
wayne green
We don't know what consciousness is.
We have just barely begun to investigate it.
And I should say regular scientists do everything they can to prevent that and not fund it and ridicule people that do do that.
So it's been a very difficult thing.
But as you learn more and more about what is known about consciousness, it is amazing.
And of course, I've had experiences myself of telepathy and clairvoyance and enough to convince me so that no skeptic can ever turn my belief in that.
When I had a problem with my first wife who wanted to commit suicide, my mother called up and said, what's wrong?
I know something's terribly wrong.
art bell
Oh, I hear a million stories like that, Wayne.
wayne green
Exactly.
art bell
All right, we're at the top of the hour.
When we come back, I want to give the audience a chance with you, okay?
wayne green
Sure.
art bell
Wayne Green is my guest.
You're up with him next.
This is Coast to Coast A.M. I'm Mark Bell.
right where you are.
unidentified
You know I need to love.
art bell
You got a hold of me.
unidentified
I'll be talking to you.
You know that I'll never be.
I don't want you to share my life.
Who are you going to call a thing to get out of hand?
Who's going to be?
I fell.
The single of the travel travel comes to land.
Hey, I fell.
You've got the guests you can TV on the stars.
You got it.
I fell.
And who are the greats going to take tomorrow?
Hey, I fell.
This is an uncle presentation of the banking pool.
I got an air mega bike seat to your home.
Hey, I got an air mega bike seat to your home.
Pick up your phone.
Yeah, I fell.
Circle out and dab to the bone.
No, I fell.
Hear, I fell.
Hear, I fell.
Couldn't resist some of the souls of thank you for that.
And now, back to the absolute best of.
art bell
And that's it, folks.
unidentified
The End Once again, Wayne Green.
wayne green
Wayne?
Hi.
art bell
Hi.
wayne green
I've got two things for you on the Asian way of writing.
When you come into Seoul, the motto for Korea is the land of the morning clam.
And there's a huge sign as you come into Seoul that says, the land of the morning clam.
art bell
Well, I'm sure you've read a lot of the same manuals I have.
wayne green
And in Osaka, they had a pizza restaurant with a big sign out front that said, all the piz and flies you can eat.
art bell
Yeah, when the Japanese and the Koreans try to write in English and the Chinese as well, it comes out transformed.
Transformed.
And at any rate, Wayne, I want to expose you to the audience.
Who knows what kind of questions we're going to get?
It could range.
wayne green
Can I get an address in there so that you can find out about all these books that I've been writing?
art bell
You have a list of books that you're absolutely crazy if you don't read, right?
wayne green
Right.
And I have a guide, or I should say a list of the books that I've written.
One of them about how to make money, a beginner's guide.
art bell
Yeah, how many times have you been a millionaire, by the way?
wayne green
Oh, Lordy, I don't know how many times.
art bell
You know, in America, when a person gets to be a millionaire, they're supposed to stay that way.
You know, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer, but you get rich and poor and rich and poor and rich and poor.
Why?
wayne green
Well, on account of I don't really have any interest in money, and I just let other people take care of it, and they do.
And I'm interested in doing things and making things happen, and I do that very successfully.
And the money, I just don't really care a lot one way or the other.
You know, if you're going to manage money, that's a business in itself.
art bell
Well, I mean, you do write about how to make money.
wayne green
Oh, sure.
And hundreds and hundreds of people have taken my advice, and they write back and say, wow, it works.
It works.
Of course it works.
art bell
I know I've had the same reaction.
wayne green
Because as far as I know, I have never seen anybody else write this anywhere.
And I've never heard anybody tell about it.
There's a secret to this, and it's a very simple one once you understand it.
And it works, and it'll work every time.
And you can make all the money you want.
art bell
All right, so you've got that.
You've got your list of books.
And if people want all of this, how do they get it?
What do they do?
What does it cost?
wayne green
The list of my stuff costs a self-addressed stamp envelope.
art bell
That's it?
wayne green
That's it.
And the guide to books that you're crazy if you haven't read is a 36-page guide.
That's five bucks.
And that helps me buy more books.
I send that money right away.
art bell
All right.
What is the magical address?
wayne green
The address is Wayne Green.
art bell
Wayne Green.
wayne green
Hancock, New Hampshire.
art bell
Where?
wayne green
Hancock.
Like in John.
art bell
You know, that seems like you've moved.
wayne green
Well, I just changed to a different post office.
art bell
Oh, I see.
So spell it.
wayne green
H-A-N-C-O-C-K.
art bell
Okay.
Hancock, New Hampshire?
wayne green
03449.
art bell
I hope you've got a big box.
wayne green
Oh, sure.
And a very friendly post office.
art bell
So, anyway, let's hit it again.
wayne green
It's Wayne Green, Hancock, New Hampshire.
art bell
03449.
No, I didn't mean that, even though we'll hit that again.
I meant there's two things.
One is send a self-addressed stamped envelope.
wayne green
Right.
art bell
No more.
And you will return what?
wayne green
And I will send them a list of Wayne Green's stuff.
And please don't make it a little tiny envelope.
art bell
No, no.
wayne green
The list of my stuff runs about 22 pages.
art bell
Oh, my God.
Legal size.
Right.
All right.
All right.
And that's for nothing more than that, you'll send that.
wayne green
That's right.
art bell
22 pages.
And then if they want the list of books you're crazy if you don't read, that's five boxes.
Five bucks.
wayne green
And I have a guide to health here, which goes into all of the books that I've read on that subject.
And I think will help anybody get over almost any illness.
art bell
Isn't there like a P.O. box or something?
wayne green
Well, you can put a P.O. box, but you don't need it.
art bell
So they'll know.
Wayne Green, Hancock, New Hampshire, 03449.
wayne green
With Peterborough, I was getting mail to Wayne 03458.
You know, just the zip code in Wayne or the science man.
It didn't make any difference.
Green.
art bell
Do you know I've actually received mail?
Radio Guy in Nevada.
unidentified
Right.
art bell
Now, how can mail possibly...
Radio guy, Nevada.
wayne green
Right.
art bell
Not a town, not a zip code.
Radio guy, Nevada.
Right.
Crazy.
All right.
These people are waiting to talk to you, Wayne.
wayne green
Okay, good deal.
art bell
All right.
First time caller line.
You're on the air with Wayne Green.
Hello.
unidentified
Hi.
art bell
Hi.
Where are you?
unidentified
I'm in Busaris, Ohio.
Okay.
Listening 610W-TVF?
art bell
Oh, yes, indeed.
wayne green
Yeah, I used to be an engineer out there at WXEL.
unidentified
I'm not familiar With that?
wayne green
Well, that's Channel 9 in Cleveland.
art bell
Okay.
unidentified
Sounds good.
art bell
Do you have a question, sir?
unidentified
Yes, I was listening off and on this morning, and you touched on reincarnation.
art bell
Yep.
unidentified
So on and so forth.
art bell
Right.
unidentified
My first question is, sir, what is your religion?
wayne green
I don't have a name for it.
I certainly have a religion.
I have beliefs that I have developed after doing a lot of reading and with an open mind.
I'm a pragmatist.
I'm not a Republican or a Democrat.
I'm not any of the commercial religions, but I'm a pragmatist.
So I guess that's my religion.
unidentified
Does the Bible mean anything to you?
wayne green
The Bible is a very good source of information about ancient history.
Unfortunately, if you've read much about the Bible, you know that it has been revised and changed substantially, particularly in the early days.
And it is, you know, the original Bible was, do you know what language that was in?
unidentified
Greek and Hebrew, right.
wayne green
And mostly Greek.
art bell
A lot of it was Sumerian text, wasn't it?
wayne green
Well, we certainly, if you read David Horne's book, you'll get a lot of information on the early days of these religions and why we have religions.
art bell
What is the point of your question, sir?
unidentified
The point of my question is reincarnation is in severe contrast to what I get from reading my Bible.
art bell
Well, that's because it's not in there.
But actually it used to be.
Wayne really is right about that.
It used to be in there, and it was by man voted out.
Did you know that?
unidentified
No, I was not aware of that.
wayne green
Good for you, Art.
art bell
Well, I know that.
Even I knew that.
All right, I appreciate the call, sir.
No, it is true.
It was once in there, and I don't reject.
wayne green
I think it was about 55 A.D. that they voted it out.
art bell
Yep, something like that.
All right, Wildcard Line, you're on the air with Wayne Green.
wayne green
Hello.
unidentified
Yes, hello.
Good morning, Art.
art bell
Good morning, sir.
unidentified
Good morning, Wayne.
This is Mike in Philadelphia.
Wayne, it's an honor for me to speak to you to a hand radio pioneer.
wayne green
Well, thank you.
unidentified
i have one question for you and i i hang up has there any has there any bit ever Slow up and ask.
All right.
Has there ever been any two-way contact with extraterrestrials?
Any documented cases when I'll hang up from the instructor?
art bell
Thank you.
All right.
Not by me.
wayne green
I don't know of any by radio.
I don't think they use radio, but we have some fairly good documentation on contacts with ETs by mind and by tape.
If you've read about the Rhodes Tapes system, and there are a number of places around the world where they are doing this and having some amazing results.
art bell
Again, I was talking to a theoretical physicist the other night, and I've talked to people from SATI.
And, you know, even they agree, Wayne, that in the larger picture of any developing civilization, the amount of time that that civilization would use radio and television as a means of communication would be, in a larger scheme of things, the blink of an eye.
wayne green
Exactly.
art bell
And so contact by those means would be rather unlikely, making any reception by SETI rather unlikely, frankly.
wayne green
I've been editorializing on this, I'm sure, to their great dismay.
art bell
Well, I had a fellow on from SETI.
He was wonderful.
Great guy.
Oh, sure.
And he even really admitted an awful lot of this.
For example, Michio Kaku said, look, it's insane to imagine we're going to get any sort of analog signal.
Why wouldn't they send it by some sort of spread spectrum if they were going to send it?
wayne green
Why wouldn't they send it by mind?
art bell
By mind would be a notch further down the line.
You're absolutely right.
East of the Rockies, you're on the air with Wayne Green.
Good morning.
Where are you?
Good morning, Art.
unidentified
This is Jay from Oklahoma City.
art bell
Yes, sir.
unidentified
Great to talk to you again.
I just had a quick comment, question kind of deal for your guest.
Sure.
Wayne.
How are you doing, Wayne?
wayne green
I'm doing great up here in New Hampshire.
unidentified
Oh, I'll just kind of side with Art about this deal as far as if we've been to the moon tonight on what I've heard tonight so far.
And my question was, if NASA was really going to pull off such a great conspiracy over, you know, if we about going to the moon, would they really overlook such minute details?
And do you think they would be so sloppy about it?
wayne green
I think they were.
unidentified
Okay.
wayne green
Remember, this was, what, you know, 25, almost 30 years ago.
unidentified
Yeah.
wayne green
So, yeah.
unidentified
It'd really be a shocker if it was a conspiracy, though.
wayne green
Anytime you ascribe a great amount of intelligence to the government, I think you may be on the wrong foot.
unidentified
Okay, well, that's all I had for you.
art bell
All right, appreciate it.
unidentified
Thank you.
art bell
Thank you.
Bye-bye.
Here's somebody who writes, Wayne, ham radio is not dying.
The spirit is not dying.
It's the old parts that are dying, becoming salad keys.
As Wayne knows, you've got to get new, mostly younger members into clubs and make them into new 73 subscribers.
How about a better integration of electric fun magazine articles into 73 magazines?
More simple projects that can be done without a complete machine shop and laboratory.
Even some of us older hands would like some simple projects to build.
You already have part suppliers advertising in 73.
wayne green
And we have more simple construction projects than any of the other magazines.
That, as a matter of fact, is why I started 73 In the first place, because I felt there was a real need for simple home construction projects, and we're publishing a lot of them.
Heck, and we're going far afield, too, not just ham radio projects.
We've had two articles on the bioelectrifier so far, and we've got a couple more coming up.
unidentified
Right?
art bell
Well, I still say, and I'm sorry to say it because I have in my heart more love for ham radio than I wouldn't want to say anything, but it's been one of the major high points of my entire life, Wayne, but I see it dying.
wayne green
Well, of course, one of the things that I've had so much fun and excitement with on amateur radio is pioneering new things and going on expeditions to weird places.
You know, going to a desert island down in the Caribbean.
Oh, I know.
art bell
It's a blast.
I mean, all of that.
wayne green
I've been there twice.
art bell
But Wayne, that's you.
That's me.
I love it the same way you do.
wayne green
Sure.
art bell
But the kids, they go, I'd like to go to the island, but who needs ham radio?
wayne green
Well, it's kind of fun to talk to the people that you know all around the world from anywhere you are.
And it's the same people that I talk to.
art bell
Yeah, but how do we...
Sure, Wayne, but how do we infect the young people with what you and I know to be true?
The excitement, the incredible excitement of ham radio.
How do we infect young people with that?
If we don't do it, it is going to die.
wayne green
With advertising.
The same as you sell anything else, Art.
And the ARL is not advertising, not promoting, not doing anything about getting articles about amateur radio into any of the popular magazines, not doing a thing.
art bell
I do agree that the ARRL has been obstructionist, and that's a strong word, obstructionist in changing and modernizing, I'm not saying throwing away, just modernizing the whole concept of ham radio and the rules and regs that go with it and the licensing procedures that would bring young people into ham radio.
They have been obstructionist.
And I felt the same way.
And it's one editorial that you've written that I've always agreed with.
And I could go back to incentive licensing and start screaming on the radio right now, but I won't.
wayne green
Look, guys, you're a ham.
You have an enormous audience.
Now, how come the ARL hasn't been in touch with you and feeding you things about amateur radio to put on the air?
Why not?
art bell
Probably because I've heard some of what I've said about them.
I'm sure that's why.
I mean, how often do they write you fan letters?
wayne green
Because they don't send that information to anybody.
art bell
Really?
wayne green
That's right.
Now, when I first got involved in amateur radio, one of the first things I did was work all states.
And I got the certificate.
art bell
Yeah, me too.
wayne green
And there in the newspaper in the Brooklyn Eagle was Wayne Green worked all states.
And the ARL sent in the information to the newspaper, and they published it.
And they used to do that back in the 1930s.
They haven't done that in years.
In decades.
art bell
It's pretty sad, isn't it?
wayne green
Right.
And they're not pushing their clubs to do PR.
They're really not, you know, when clubs do something special, they should have the media out there to cover it.
And getting information from these clubs about what they've done is like pulling hens' teeth.
art bell
It's true.
And if I, I tell you, Wayne, if I could figure out any way to turn this around and put my head together with you, I would gladly give it lots of good PR.
But I don't quite have it figured out yet.
I really don't.
wayne green
Well, the ARL is getting the information and they're sitting on it.
For instance, you know, down in Alabama, they had the tornadoes, and the ham stepped in and provided all of the communications down there.
art bell
I knew.
But look, 73 has never depended for one second on its existence on the ARRL for its existence.
In fact, you have existed despite them.
wayne green
That's right.
art bell
And still, we are not in a growth mode as far as ham radio is concerned.
wayne green
So I'm a thorn in their side, that's for sure.
art bell
I know.
But how do we despite them?
Because they're a bunch of old guys who just don't want to see any change.
Some of them, I'm sure, find hams, but they're locked into the way it was, and they're going to go down with a shook.
So it's got to be up to people like you or me because of the forum that I have.
But I haven't figured out how to do it, Wayne.
wayne green
Well, we have amateurs in good places in different media.
Are you familiar with Dave Bell?
art bell
I know the name.
wayne green
Okay, W6AQ.
art bell
Sure.
wayne green
Just had a letter from him.
He is a producer of television videos.
Now, the ARL should be all over him with ideas for things and offer to help.
art bell
Remember the movie Contact Here recently?
wayne green
You bet.
art bell
We got some pretty good PR at the beginning of that movie, I thought.
wayne green
Sure.
art bell
All right, Wayne, hold on.
It's the bottom of the hour, and I promise we're going to concentrate harder on the phones.
Now, a lot of people want to talk to Wayne Green, but you're going to have your chance.
I'm Art Bell from the High Desert, where finally it's beginning to warm up.
This is Coast to Coast AM.
unidentified

art bell
All right, um, Ken in San Diego writes, uh, hi Art.
If your world would crumble by hearing that we did not indeed go to the moon, could it be possible the Brookings Institute report on the UFO issue is indeed correct?
Look, Ken, I don't know if my world would crumble, but what it would mean is that everything that we have thought to be true, everything that we have thought we understood about our country, democracy, the Constitution, would be would be trash.
And I don't know that my world would crumble, but there would be a lot within me that would crumble, to be honest with you.
And they could not lie about something like that without lying consecutively about everything they've told us that would follow from that point.
And I remember, I watched on TV as we allegedly walked on the moon.
So would my world crumble?
Well, yeah, I guess part of it might, you know.
Anyway, Wayne Green back in a moment.
unidentified
Wayne Green back in a moment.
art bell
Well, all right, back now to Wayne Green, and I want to give you Wayne Green's address if I can find it.
Yeah, here it is.
Wayne Green, Hancock, New Hampshire.
That's H-A-N-C-O-C-K.
Hancock, New Hampshire.
Zip code 03449.
Send the guy a number 10, you know, legal-size envelope with a stamp on it, and he'll send you back Wayne Green stuff, whatever.
wayne green
Or larger.
art bell
Or larger.
Even a manila envelope might be nice, huh?
wayne green
Sure.
art bell
All right.
wayne green
My booklets are all 6x9, so.
art bell
And if you want a list of all the books you're crazy if you don't read, plus more, that's five bucks.
unidentified
Right.
wayne green
You mentioned the Constitution.
art bell
I did, didn't I?
wayne green
That's already been trashed.
You know that.
unidentified
You know, like, the income tax is...
art bell
Well, the 16th Amendment, people will tell you, was not ratified.
Right.
Other people will tell you, well, yes, it was approved, actually.
wayne green
And we have federal judges ignoring the Constitution constantly.
But I have a number of proposals for improving our country.
Matter of fact, I just finished doing two dozen proposals for improving New Hampshire, and these would apply to almost any state.
We had a local competition here on what can you propose to improve New Hampshire.
art bell
Really, what did they come up with?
wayne green
Well, I came up with a way to have no taxes whatever.
We have no income tax and no sales tax in New Hampshire, just a property tax.
art bell
Well, we don't have income tax here.
wayne green
Right.
And, of course, I'm opposed to a property tax because fundamentally, what that means is you don't own your property.
You just rent it from the government.
art bell
In a sense.
wayne green
But anyway, I came up with a way for the state to make enough money as a business to make it so that there are no taxes whatever.
And I propose a way to do this.
If anybody's interested, one of the things on my list will be my guide to 24 ways to improve your state.
art bell
All right, but here's something that I want to fire back at you, Wayne.
I've traveled the world the world.
Right.
I've seen a lot of other systems, a lot of other governments, and been a lot of other places.
And for the most part, Wayne, compared to what we've got, they suck.
wayne green
Yep.
art bell
Now, look, we've got basic...
We have freedom of movement.
I can get on an airplane and go read you the Riot Act right there in person in New Hampshire without having to show a travel card or a pass.
I have basic privacy, although that's certainly been eroded.
I have rights if I'm to be arrested.
I have a right to a jury of my peers.
I mean, there are still a lot of things.
wayne green
Oh, we have a lot of good things going.
art bell
Yes, sir.
wayne green
We have a lot of problems.
art bell
So I wouldn't go so far as to say the Constitution is trashed.
The implication of that is there's nothing left of it, and there's a lot left of it.
wayne green
Okay, I can send you a list of the things that we have done to the Constitution, if you like.
unidentified
I'm sure.
wayne green
At any rate, we have not been guided by it, unfortunately, in so many ways, and it's unfortunate.
What I do is I say, look, for instance, you take foreign aid.
art bell
We're not pure.
wayne green
I say, here is a way that we can increase foreign aid substantially and make a huge profit out of doing it.
Every dollar that we send out in foreign aid should come back with $10,000 or $100 or $1,000 in return.
And I propose a way to do that.
I propose a way for any government bureau to cut itself in half in about three years and do it cooperatively and enthusiastically.
art bell
Well, I'm sure there are many good ideas and they're worth reading.
But the overall overarching point I was trying to make is that it's not all gone, Wayne.
wayne green
Oh, no.
art bell
It's still a wonderful place to live, and if you doubt that, travel.
wayne green
I have traveled, and I have not found any place that I would prefer.
But I can't help wanting to improve the situation that we have here.
art bell
I agree.
I agree.
I can't disagree with that.
Welcome to the Rockies.
You're on there with Wayne Green.
Hello.
unidentified
Yeah, hi, this is Russ from Bakersfield.
art bell
Hi, Russ.
unidentified
I'm now, apparently, as of listening to you on 9.40 a.m.
art bell
Jan Murray Adam Brezma okay but if you listen to I didn't know that.
Well, now you do.
unidentified
All right.
wayne green
Hi, Russ.
unidentified
About the moon.
Actually, the most conclusive data on the fact that we didn't go to the moon can be found in NASA's own data.
And it gets complicated real quick.
And the reader's digest version of it is, and maybe Wayne can help me on this, is that there's two obstacles to overcome.
First, you have to escape, there's a point where you have to escape the Earth's gravitational pull and then be influenced by the Moon's gravitational pull.
And then to back to Earth, you have to escape the Moon's gravitational pull and then become captured by the Earth's gravitational pull.
Yes.
Okay, now, the Saturn V rocket could not carry a payload large enough that could propel a craft that could sustain life of three people out of the moon's gravitational pole.
It could get you there, but it couldn't get you back.
And NASDAQ's own data shows it.
And I don't have it here in front of me.
I apologize for that.
It's buried away in some boxes, but I can get it to you.
wayne green
Bill Kaising covers this nicely in his book, We Never Went to the Moon, and he's backed up by William Bryan in Moongate, who gives the data on the distances that you have to blast.
What Bill Kaising points out is that the rockets that he used could not possibly loft the weight that was required to go to the moon in fact.
unidentified
So you agree?
wayne green
Oh, yeah.
unidentified
Well, that's all I need to say.
art bell
Well, I didn't say I agreed.
Wayne, then what did people see who stood down at Cape Canaveral then and watched the Saturn Vs lift off?
What did they see?
wayne green
They saw it going into low Earth orbit and without the astronauts in it.
art bell
Without the astronauts.
wayne green
Right.
art bell
Now, how about this one, Wayne?
If that was true, the Russians would have screamed bloody murder.
wayne green
Rene covered that pretty well in his book.
By magic, at that time, we increased our gift of food to Russia by about 10 times.
art bell
So we bribed them, is what's.
unidentified
Right.
art bell
Oh, God.
First time caller line, you're on the air with Wayne Green.
unidentified
Hello.
Maybe just serendipity.
Yes.
art bell
Hello there.
Where are you?
unidentified
Oh, I'm John from Toledo, Ohio.
art bell
Yes, sir.
unidentified
Mr. Greene.
wayne green
Yes, sir.
unidentified
That's an old Irish name.
Old Scotch Irish.
You recommended a lot of books tonight, sir.
And they all sound very interesting.
Can I recommend a book to you?
wayne green
Absolutely.
Always interesting.
As a matter of fact, most of the new books that I get are recommended by readers and listeners.
art bell
Uh-huh.
unidentified
Well, this book, you have to satisfy two requirements for this book.
You have to be under 16 years of age, or you have to be over 65.
wayne green
Okay?
I qualify at 75.
unidentified
I do.
art bell
I don't.
So I can't read it, but what is it?
unidentified
Well, I would recommend this to you, Art, too.
And also to Mr. Richard.
Well, you might...
The name of the book is The Human Comedy.
It was written by William Soroyan back in the early 1940s.
And when I say you have to be under 16 or over 65, you have to be of either young age or full age to really understand the message of this book.
And I don't want to appear mysterious or anything.
art bell
Well, all right.
unidentified
But it's a book that's very well worth reading.
It's called The Human Comedy by William Soroyan.
art bell
All right, well, and what is the basic contention of the book?
Can you give us a nutshell, at least a teaser, something that would make us want to read it?
unidentified
Well, yes.
Now, I'm going to quote Scripture.
Now, I know that may not be acceptable on this program.
I don't know.
art bell
No, I'd really rather you didn't.
Okay, though you can paraphrase it.
unidentified
Well, Jesus said something like, some folks have their eyes on the stars, but they fail to see the signs of the times.
art bell
Yes, sir.
unidentified
And this book is about what I believe life is all about.
And, you know, like I say, I don't want to sound mysterious or anything, but it's a very good book.
It's very worthwhile.
And after you read the book, you might want to rent the movie.
Hollywood made a motion picture version of the movie with Mickey Rooney.
art bell
Remember him?
Oh, of course.
All right.
Well, thank you very much.
I appreciate it.
We'll let the mystery stand, I guess, and people can go out and get the book.
Wildcard line, you're on the air with Wayne Green.
Hi.
unidentified
Hi, Wayne Green.
How are you doing?
I haven't talked to you.
It's been so many years.
I remember when there was CQ73s and radio news.
You remember that?
Oh, you bet.
So do I. And I can't give him a call, so I won't, but it's been a long time in the late 40s.
But anyway, you ought to be able to at least give Art a few reasons why he ought to not leave a time machine to sit there.
He ought to either use it or give it to me, maybe.
You know.
But anyway, no, the question I have, I have one of Wayne's stuff pamphlets here.
And I was wondering now, You seem to be quite a bit into this cold fusion.
Do you have something or a book, some literature that we could make a workable model of something that would be useful?
art bell
Oh, yes.
As a matter of fact, that's exactly right.
It is an experiment, and we'll have Wayne describe that.
Wayne, we don't have enough time to do real justice to the whole cold fusion business.
I know you believe very strongly in it.
I know that you can describe an experiment that people can do at home.
We've done this before, and I would like to do it again.
wayne green
A number of people have done this successfully, but what I highly recommend is that they get a sample copy of my journal, which has the patents in there printed in their entirety, showing the construction of the cells and so forth.
art bell
All right, but basically, here's the facts that I've got.
It says, Wayne says you can use two nickels, one glass of H2O, water, baking soda, a two to nine-volt battery, and this, the faxer says, DJ in LA, listening to KBC, this will eventually heat up to thousands of degrees.
True or false?
wayne green
False.
It will heat up more than the amount.
In other words, you'll get more heat out of it than the current that's going in.
But with nickels, they are so large and it takes probably two or three weeks before you will get the effect.
What they find is that if they use powdered nickel or thin sheets of nickel, that they get the effect much faster.
art bell
All right, so you use two thin sheets of nickel.
wayne green
Right.
art bell
And you get a glass of water.
wayne green
Glass of water.
art bell
You put how much baking soda?
wayne green
You put some kind of electrolyte in it.
art bell
A baking soda, probably.
Or a salt, even?
wayne green
Yeah, a salt.
Lithium salt is very popular on that.
art bell
All right.
wayne green
Because what happens is that you have a transmutation of elements.
This is why they're able to take radioactive material and take the radioactivity out of it in very short order.
And, of course, that's one of the things that is going to be very helpful to you down there.
art bell
Yes, I know.
That was demonstrated on ABC's Good Morning America.
But let's finish up here.
wayne green
Okay.
unidentified
You just take two pieces of nickel.
wayne green
Right.
art bell
You solder, I guess, some...
wayne green
You just clip wires onto it.
Make sure the clips aren't in the electrolyte.
art bell
Okay.
You clip the wires on and you attach a battery, a plus and negative, one to each side, right?
Right.
wayne green
And then what you do is you have a thermometer in there and a thermometer outside so that you can tell the difference in temperature that you're getting.
art bell
Yes.
wayne green
And you figure out how many, you know, how much heat is being delivered there compared to the amount of electricity that's going into it.
And you'll find that you're getting more heat out than the electricity that's going in.
art bell
All right.
That's a workable, you can do it at home experiment.
Is there any danger in that, by the way?
wayne green
Not if you make sure that the liquid doesn't run out.
art bell
Okay.
What would happen if the liquid runs?
wayne green
Well, then it can take off, and they've had cases where it's exploded.
unidentified
Uh-huh.
art bell
So watch your liquid level, folks.
wayne green
Right.
Keep the electrolyte in there.
art bell
And what voltage do you recommend?
Like a 9-volt battery, something like that?
wayne green
Yeah, that's a good voltage.
It doesn't make a lot of difference what voltage you use.
It's just, you know, it puts so much so many watts of power into it, and you get so many watts of heat out.
art bell
And how long will this go on producing heat, typically?
wayne green
Typically, 10,000 years.
art bell
my god you mean to say Oh, my God.
But, all right, here's the thing, Wayne.
wayne green
Yeah.
art bell
I've heard so many people, Brian O'Leary, so many others, talking about exactly what you're talking about right now.
And my response is always the same.
It's give me a toy, give me a toy, Any practical, anything that we can demonstrate over Unity.
wayne green
Right.
art bell
Where is it?
Why don't we have it?
What the hell's the matter?
It's been years and years and years and years since Pons and Flashman took off to England.
It's been years.
Where is our toy?
wayne green
Right.
This is the same thing that I'm hammering home in my journal, in my editorials.
I say, look, the big problem that you have, dear art, is that you have scientists, you have inventors, but we don't have any marketing people in the field.
And so we're inventing the heck out of things and coming up with patent after patent of things that are working, and we don't have a marketing agent in there saying, okay, here's how we put that on the market.
art bell
All right, but here's a challenge for you.
Now, the Japanese are damn good at doing what we don't do.
Marketing, they're good at that.
The Japanese took their best shot at cold fusion and came up empty, went belly bust on the project.
wayne green
There were mitigating factors there.
Like what?
Other investors, you know, other people that had money and other things had to say on what was going on.
And this is going to destroy the power industries, coal, oil, and the whole works.
art bell
So you're essentially saying they were bought off or shut up.
wayne green
Right.
And we've seen this a number of times.
There's a fellow that's invented a way to improve plant growth by about five to seven times.
And CITO looked into it and said, gee, this is great.
But then they had some of their customers were selling pesticides.
And they say, well, gee, once you do this, you don't need pesticides anymore.
So they dropped the whole thing.
art bell
See, that's the kind of thing that's liable to bring me to tears.
Again, everything money talks.
wayne green
It talks in Congress.
It talks in science.
It talks in research.
The researchers in the cold fusion field, almost without exception, are not funded by any of the normal funding.
Not by the government, certainly.
The government has set down a rule saying, look, if you're going to do, if anybody in your place is going to do any cold fusion research, you get no money from us for anything.
And this has stopped all the universities.
art bell
All right.
I have to go to the top of the hour here, Wayne.
You good to go for an hour here?
wayne green
Oh, sure.
art bell
Okay.
All right.
Wayne Green is my guest, and he will be right back.
I'm Art Bell.
This is Coast to Coast AM.
unidentified
Her hair is hollow gold.
Let's sweet surprise.
Her hands are never cold.
She got better days by cutting you back.
You won't have to think twice.
She called a view your love.
wayne green
She got bad days.
unidentified
She got bad days.
You're listening to a rebroadcast of Coast to Coast A.M. with Art Volks.
art bell
Wayne, you're back on the air again.
wayne green
Okay.
art bell
Have you ever seen a white LED array?
wayne green
No, but you know the LEDs came to us by way of the ETs, according to Corso.
art bell
That's what I've heard.
wayne green
Right.
You mentioned love of music.
Now, I have a little story.
art bell
Well, I'm wondering what in our brain, Wayne, does that.
In other words, 10 or 20 years ago, I fell in love with that Rafferty tune.
wayne green
Right.
art bell
And today, I play it again, and I fall in love all over again.
wayne green
Right.
art bell
And it's like I can play it and play it and play it until my ears bleed.
wayne green
I know.
I know.
When I saw the picture of the Sting, I heard Scott Jopla music.
art bell
Yeah.
wayne green
And I said, wow.
Where have I been?
How did I miss that?
And I bought every LT I could find with Scotch Applause music, and I played them endlessly.
And the more I played them, the more I said, these guys aren't getting it.
They don't get it.
Doggone it.
And one day, I was down in New Orleans and coming back from a riverboat jazz concert about midnight.
And I walked by this little bar.
Sherry and I walked by this little dingy bar.
And there was a piano music coming out.
And it was Scott Joplin.
And I listened for a minute and I said, wow, we've got to go in.
And we went in, and there was a youngster there called Scott Kirby.
And he was playing Scott Joplin the way I heard it in my mind.
So immediately brought him to New Hampshire, and I built a recording studio, the latest state-of-the-art recording studio, and recorded the entire Scott Joplin and put it out on four CDs in a set.
And that has changed ragtime.
When I first started, there was one ragtime festival in the country down in Missouri in Sedalia.
And now there are dozens of them, and they're over in Europe.
And Scott Kirby is the star on all of these.
And he has changed the way ragtime music is played because all of the big performers now are playing it the way Scott Kirby was playing it.
But that was, I just fell in love immediately when I heard that music.
art bell
That is what you do.
You fall in love.
Now, what is it, do you suppose in our brains that causes that to occur?
I'm probably asking an impossible question, but you're Wayne Greene, so what the hell?
wayne green
Well, we don't know, but we know.
You know, it's like we know it when we see it.
We know it when we hear it.
We know what's good.
You know, when I hear Gottschalk music, that's great.
When I hear Nazare music, that's great.
Beethoven's symphonies and so forth, well, most of them are great.
And you hear it and you feel it.
But like books, 99.9% of the classical music that's written isn't worth listening to once, much less twice.
And 99% of the books aren't worth reading.
But there are that little fraction in there that are just wonderful.
What I try to do is find those things.
When I was publishing the leading music magazine in the country, that's what I was doing, is helping people.
I was sharing my love of music with about 400,000 people.
art bell
It's really intriguing, and I guess I would need to talk to somebody who understands the workings of our brain to really understand what it is.
Good luck.
These are the things I want to understand.
All right.
wayne green
Well, it could tie in with past lives.
You don't know.
art bell
That's absolutely right.
wayne green
Or future lives.
Yep.
art bell
First time calling.
First time call our line, Wayne.
unidentified
Okay.
art bell
Yes, hello there.
Are you there?
unidentified
Hello, Mr. Green.
wayne green
Yes, yeah.
unidentified
Yeah, how you doing?
It's a great show tonight.
Very interesting show.
art bell
Where are you?
unidentified
I'm calling from Chicago.
art bell
Okay.
unidentified
Chicago area?
art bell
Yes, sir.
unidentified
In fact, I had a strange thing happened about the beginning of the show.
The WLS went out for like 20 seconds, 30 seconds.
Completely.
It just completely just shut down.
I thought my radio had actually turned off.
wayne green
I wonder what I said.
art bell
Radio stations don't like dead air.
unidentified
Especially WLS is a pretty major station.
art bell
Oh, yeah.
Seriously.
unidentified
Expect them to shut off like that.
art bell
It wasn't me, folks.
unidentified
Okay, just wanted to see if you knew anything about it.
My real question is, you've done a great job of using logic to sort of kind of persuade people to think twice about the whole NASA landing on The moon.
I like the way you think with the wood logic.
I sort of have two questions, and you kind of did it earlier when you're talking about the inspiration of musicians when they write songs and when they're creative.
And it seemed like you were inferring, Mr. Green, that the inspiration is not divine, not through God, but through themselves.
wayne green
Well, then, you have to define what God is.
And I'm not sure that God isn't all of us put together.
And I think Jesus said something like that, too.
unidentified
Okay, I just wanted you to clarify your actual...
Okay.
wayne green
For the lack of a better word.
Our English language is not handy on this.
unidentified
One of the questions someone has, you know, using logic, is you'd mentioned earlier that the Bible was translated through Greek.
And logically, why would the Greeks, if you're going to use logic, why would the Greeks want to promote that book using their language if they don't believe in one God, like the Bible says, like the First Commandment says, you know, thou shalt not honor any other God.
And the Greeks had many gods.
Well, if you use logic, why would they promote that?
wayne green
Some Greeks did.
unidentified
It doesn't make any logical sense why the Greeks would want to promote that, though.
wayne green
Well, I don't think there was a democracy to the effect that it would change what a group of Greeks thought.
unidentified
You're saying you don't think the power shrink of the Greeks?
wayne green
I don't think all of the Greeks agreed on what was there any more than all Americans agree on anything.
unidentified
Isn't that kind of illogical, though, if they don't believe in one God, why would they want to promote that?
wayne green
Well, you get down to who they is.
unidentified
The Greeks.
The Greeks and people.
wayne green
The Greeks are just as diverse as Americans.
unidentified
You're saying it could have been just one segment of Greeks then?
Sure.
And even you kind of, we talked about, you know, you talked about Paul McCartney in the beginning of the show and about the tragic death of his wife.
Yes.
And one of the things I really always felt about Paul McCartney was he wrote very subconsciously.
Even John Lennon used to mention that.
art bell
Or do I agree?
wayne green
Oh, sure.
unidentified
As long as Let It Be, he would say to like his partner, John Lennon, that he did not even know what he was writing about.
wayne green
Yep.
unidentified
And then Lennon would say, no, I know exactly what you're writing about.
Or like, hey, Jude, things like that.
He'd be writing very godly type songs.
wayne green
Right, yep.
unidentified
It seems very divinely inspired.
And I think Paul McCartney was very divinely inspired.
wayne green
Well, didn't Jesus say we were all divine?
unidentified
I think we have potential to be divine.
But right now, why is music right now so negative?
wayne green
Why is what?
art bell
Music is so negative.
I agree with that comment.
It may be because we're getting older and we just view it as negative trash because my dad viewed what I listened to as negative trash, that which I now declare my love for.
But it does, it really does, if you listen to the crap the kids are listening to, and that includes my 16-year-old.
It is horrible.
unidentified
Yeah, like Merwood and Madsen.
People are very destructive.
wayne green
But these things don't last.
The things that we thought were bad 50 years ago have not lasted.
The things that we thought were bad 30 years ago have not lasted.
unidentified
But I don't see any band that's going to touch people the way the Beatles did or some major force of good.
wayne green
I agree.
art bell
Today it's the Spice Girls, you know?
I saw a Spice Girls concert the other night.
unidentified
It seems to me like Art, it seems you're very in tune to songs.
A lot of the times certain songs you play seem very appropriate for the show.
Like Betty Davis' Eyes before it just really hit me when you played that.
art bell
Well, yeah, that's because I'm doing the picking, I'm doing the choosing, I'm doing the arranging for the moment, and I do what I feel like doing, and so that's why it comes out that way.
If I had an engineer or a board op or something, it wouldn't be that way at all.
unidentified
Yeah, I guess it's being like, see, I'm a songwriter musician myself, and I can say one thing.
When I write songs, I know that it's inspired through God.
It's not through me.
art bell
All right.
Well, look, I appreciate your comment.
I don't know that I fully agree because I don't fully understand the nature of God myself.
It may be a collective thing, as you suggest, Wayne.
I've heard many, many interesting theories.
I am convinced that there is a creator, that there is a creator.
I hesitate to use the word God because, you know, actually, Christians are the minority in the world, not the majority.
Even though you'd never know that here in America, when you travel, you know it very quickly.
And yet every major country and every major group of any color you can name all believe in something.
wayne green
One of the books in my guide to books is Evolution from Space by Sir Fred Hoyle and Wick Ramesing.
art bell
Yes, sir.
wayne green
And he covers this pretty well.
Worth reading.
There was another book that, if I could find it, somebody swipe my copy.
If I could find it, it would go in my guide called A Religion for Scientists.
And it's a very interesting concept.
He points out that each cell in our body has an awareness, an awareness of what's going on around it.
But it does not have, as far as we know, any awareness of the whole person.
So we put all those cells together and we have an awareness of the whole person.
And he says, well, now why doesn't that go to the next level and have an awareness of all of the people on Earth having an awareness?
The Gaia hypothesis, perhaps, of Lovelock.
And then we may have it so that we have an awareness of each galaxy, of all of the, and so forth.
So it's an interesting concept as you get into these things, which, as Lovelock says, we don't have any way to, they're ineffable, as he put it.
We're not things that we can investigate.
art bell
You know what?
It's been too long now, and I can't remember who said this to me.
Somebody will write me and tell me.
But there was somebody who said in the beginning, you know, people talk about the Big Bang and all the rest of it.
In the beginning, there was but one Entity, no space, no matter, nothing, just one entity, God, if you wish.
And this entity was lonely, and this entity blew himself up.
And that all we now are is what he was, or what this entity was.
unidentified
I shouldn't say he, could be a black woman, who knows.
art bell
But whatever.
All that is now, things, people, animals, all that we are is this entity.
It is a different way of saying that we are all or God is within us all.
wayne green
There's a problem with that, Art.
art bell
What?
wayne green
And it's right at the beginning.
You said in the beginning.
Now, again, you're looking at it from the viewpoint of time being what we perceive it.
art bell
I only said that so people might have a reference because otherwise, what could I say?
wayne green
Well, maybe there isn't any beginning.
If we have, if once we find out that time is just something that we perceive.
art bell
Well, Wayne, you know when time began?
Somebody else said this to me.
I talked to so many physicists.
When there were two objects, when there was only one object, there was no reference to anything.
When there became two objects or more, there then became a reference that we can call time.
wayne green
Right.
art bell
Because we can measure the distance between or the speed at which these objects are leaving or headed toward each other or whatever.
wayne green
Yep.
Yep.
So we can't really conceive of this whole concept of time not existing.
art bell
No, we can't.
wayne green
And yet we have scientific proof.
art bell
Okay, well, I might have said before time existed.
unidentified
Okay.
art bell
Wildcard line, you're on the air with Wayne Green and Art Bell.
Hello.
unidentified
Hello.
Hello, Wayne.
art bell
Hi.
unidentified
Hi, hi.
You know, as a kid, I read your magazine.
I never bought it as a kid.
I always went to the library, and they would have a huge stack of them.
And I would go through a couple years' worth.
Boy, I'd like to comment on the whole sort of internet versus ham radio issue.
art bell
Oh, good.
I'll tell you what, Color.
We're at the bottom of the hour, but I really do want to hear this.
Can you hold on?
unidentified
Yes, thank you.
art bell
All right, stand by.
I'll hold you right there, and Wayne will be right back.
And this is yet another song I fell in love with, as well as a gal who sings it who I fortunately got to meet.
Absolutely incredible.
This is Crystal Gale.
unidentified
It's been a too long time with an old peace of mind.
And I'm ready for the chance to get better.
art bell
Good morning from the high desert.
This is Coast to Coast AM.
unidentified
This is Coast to Coast AM.
I've got to tell you, I've been racking my brain, hoping to find a way out.
I've had enough of this continued rain.
Changes will come.
Don't move through the dirty line.
Take the long way home.
Take the long way home.
You never see what you wanna see.
Never played through the gallery.
You take the long way home.
Take the numbers.
When you're up one day, you won't believe it.
Unforgettable.
I'll tell you to hold you.
Then you're watching the big news.
And you're telling me.
I'm telling you.
Is there no way to go?
From the Kingdom of Nive, this is Coast to Coast A.M. with Art Bell.
From east of the Rockies, call Art at 1-800-825-5033.
West of the Rockies, including Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, and New Mexico, at 1-800-618-8255.
First-time callers may reach Art at Area Code 702-727-1222.
And you may fax ART at Area Code 702-727-8499.
Please limit your faxes to one or two pages.
This is Coast to Coast AM with Art Bell.
Now again, here's Art.
art bell
You know, it is kind of ironic and maybe a little embarrassing.
The quote that I had, I can remember who I was quoting when I talked about the entity or that was which was before time blowing itself up.
I just got a fact that said, Art, you know, you just quoted Courtney Brown from one of his remote viewing sessions with Ed Dames as a guide.
It was in his book.
Great book.
Too bad about him.
I think he was politically assassinated, Chris in Beaverton, Oregon.
Well, Chris, it's still just as good a quote.
And what I would say regarding the political assassination part is, no, Chris, it was political suicide, actually.
Political suicide.
Anyway, whoever said it, and it was Courtney, it was good.
And then one more little item here.
Art, I'll send you a free energy toy.
You can consider this a contract.
If you do not have a free energy device in hand in one month, I'll send you a $100 bill in its place.
To be perfectly explicit, this device will sit on your desk and perform work without any mechanical, electrical, or chemical connections.
It will have no batteries, no gears, or levers.
It will need no winding up or shocking or effort on your part to work.
It will have observable, continuous movement to give evidence of energy Being expended.
The shelf life will be 100 years plus.
Okay.
All right, back now to Wayne Green in New Hampshire, the live-free or die state.
How come you're not dead yet?
wayne green
Just obstinate.
By the way, on that gadget that the fellow promised, how about a clock that's run by atmospheric pressure?
They have those.
art bell
Atmospheric pressure?
wayne green
Right, the changes in atmospheric pressure.
Your pressure is changing all the time.
art bell
That's true.
wayne green
And they have clocks that are run by the energy from that.
art bell
Well, I bet that clock would poop out here in the summertime in the desert.
We've got a high sitting over us just about all the time.
Except in El Nino years.
wayne green
Right.
art bell
And that sucker would go dead.
wayne green
It could.
Yeah.
Oh, by the way, Arden, I want to send you, have you ever heard Scott Joplin's Solus?
I want to send you a copy of that.
art bell
Well, go right ahead.
wayne green
Because I think you're going to fall in love when you hear it.
Now, in my experience, Scott Joplin was the greatest American musical genius ever.
And I've listened to everything.
I don't think I've missed anybody.
And wait till you hear Solas is played by Scott Copeland.
art bell
Well, I love piano.
wayne green
Right.
art bell
I'm a serious fan of piano.
wayne green
This piece is going to make you cry.
art bell
Have you ever heard something called Little Ballerina Blue?
wayne green
I don't think so.
art bell
No?
It's by a fellow named George Fischoff, and it's really a remarkable piece of music.
This is it.
unidentified
This is it.
art bell
Now, you've probably heard me play that before, haven't you?
wayne green
I think so.
art bell
Just a remarkable piece of piano music, and it's unabail.
Can't get it.
I had to finally contact George Fischoff and beg him, and he sent me a 45.
And I had to send it up to the network to get it dubbed because I don't have anything that'll play a 45 here.
wayne green
Be careful, Art.
Just remember what happened to me when I heard music I loved.
started me recording and pretty soon I had my own labels.
art bell
Well, I'm afraid I'm involved in a path so deeply now that I'm You never know.
wayne green
I got involved with R ⁇ B. Ragedime and Bluegrass.
art bell
Yeah.
I thought, you know, you know something, Wayne?
I thought I hated bluegrass.
And I really did.
I hated it.
I thought it was hick, horrible music.
And then one time during my radio career in the early years, I went to work because I was hungry for a country and western station in Santa Barbara, California.
And I was determined to hate that music.
And I mean, really hate it.
And I had to go on the air and, you know, sound like I liked it.
And for two or three weeks, I hated it.
But pretty soon, pretty soon, all of a sudden there was one or two tunes that I was starting to really like.
And then three or four.
And then five or six.
And I thought, oh my God, I'm turning into a country hick.
And I fell in love with country music.
That's how it happened.
It was just exposure, repetitive exposure.
And pretty soon I started finding tunes I loved.
So it can happen.
It can happen that way.
Things you think you hate, when you finally taste them, you find out, gee, I've acquired a taste.
wayne green
All right, I'm going to send you a cassette, since you like those, of kukarooza.
And this is a Russian bluegrass group that I recorded here in my studio.
And you are going to just be astounded.
art bell
A Russian bluegrass group.
wayne green
A Russian bluegrass group.
art bell
Okay.
I'll look forward to that.
wayne green
It's incredible.
They came over here and recorded, and they went on to Grand Old Opry.
And, well, they're just an amazing group.
art bell
Indeed.
unidentified
Indeed.
art bell
First time calling line, you're on the air with Wayne Green.
wayne green
Hello.
unidentified
Yes, hello, Art.
Hello, Wayne.
wayne green
Hi.
unidentified
Hi, I'm Debbie, and I'm calling from the state of Washington.
First, before I get to Wayne, I have a real quick comment and a real quick suggestion for Art.
The comment is, we came up through Mexico a couple weeks ago, through Nogales and through Needles, California, on our way back to the state of Washington.
And the Mojave Desert is green.
For people who don't believe me, it is the most bizarre carpet of grass.
art bell
I've been telling them.
I've been telling people it's astounding.
You've never seen anything like it.
It's green all over here.
unidentified
That's right.
Well, even though I tried to pull you in on our Sanjin radio, I could not get you for the last six months, so I'm making up for it now.
art bell
I see.
unidentified
Anyway, on your time machine, why don't you take that thing away along with your Beijing radio and your food and stuff?
And then if things get really bad, you've got to use it if you want to.
art bell
I'm going back to 57.
58.
unidentified
See, but I wouldn't even think about it until you absolutely had to along with using your food.
art bell
Oh, by the way, the next time you go to Mexico, listen to AM 1200 WOAI.
They come in just fine down there.
unidentified
Out of San Antonio.
I tried.
I really did.
I don't know what was wrong with our reception.
We were way down on the Pacific coast, way, way farther.
art bell
I know.
I went down to Mausetlon, and they were as strong as any station in Mausetlon.
unidentified
Yeah, well, last year we could, but this year, for some reason, we just couldn't.
My question for Mr. Green was, Mr. Green, were you the person who sent Art the Facts that you have a voodoo doll with pins stuck in it?
Was that you?
Yep.
Well, in that fax, you suggested that his back wouldn't be so bad if he slept facing north or line, north to south.
That's right.
And what I know from that is I used to be married to a person who suffered, experienced not only sleep paralysis, but also what he termed astral projection or OBE that scared him to death.
And he was sleeping, we were sleeping east to west in the path of the moon as the moon rises.
When we switch north to south with our heads at the north, he never again experienced that.
art bell
All right, may I interject something here?
unidentified
Of course you may.
art bell
I sleep north-south.
unidentified
You always have?
art bell
Yeah, well, no, I didn't say that.
wayne green
Oh.
art bell
I have slept for years.
My bed is now nearly perfectly aligned north-south.
So you can pull that pin out of the doll.
unidentified
Well, try south to north.
wayne green
I had terrible back trouble.
As a matter of fact, it got so bad that I couldn't get out of bed for a couple of days.
But my bed was east-west.
I've never had another problem since I changed it to north-south.
Never again.
unidentified
Well, I will not sleep north to south.
wayne green
Just certainly just a coincidence, no doubt.
unidentified
Well, I just will not.
I will sleep north to south or south to north.
In fact, I find it more comfortable with my head south for some reason.
wayne green
I'll try it.
unidentified
But I do know that there's something really weird about sleeping in the path of the moon.
And I'm not a person that usually gets into that kind of stuff.
art bell
My head faces south.
unidentified
It does.
art bell
My feet to the north.
unidentified
Well, switch it around.
You've got to find your own compass point, I guess.
art bell
All right, all right.
Thank you very much.
It was good hearing from you.
I mean, pull that pin out of your dog.
What happens is, you see, folks, when I don't have Wayne on for a long enough period of time, his faxes get more vicious.
Isn't that right, Wayne?
wayne green
You bet.
art bell
Wildcard Line, you're on the air with Wayne Green.
Hello.
wayne green
Hello.
art bell
Where are you?
unidentified
I am in Berkeley, California.
wayne green
Berkeley?
unidentified
Yes.
And, boy, you know, I think, you know, on the whole issue of, you know, what is going to happen to ham radio versus the internet, you know?
art bell
Oh, yes.
unidentified
And, you know, I'll tell you, I come from a funny perspective, and I have, I'm, you know, I had a ham license as a kid.
Now I'm older.
I, you know, I have a job with the internet.
I see the internet all the time.
I got everything, internet, everything.
I got ISPN, like multiple machines, you know, every browser and thing in the world.
And right now, I find ham radio incredibly interesting.
art bell
I just, I'm desperately trying to figure out how to save ham radio.
It needs to be saved.
And how do we, if I could figure out a way to do it, I'd take this forum and I would use it to do that.
But I haven't figured it out.
Do you have any idea?
unidentified
Yeah, well, I'll tell you what my first, I think what the key thing about ham radio, to me, the key difference between ham radio and the internet is ham radio is physical.
You know, the internet, you know, it's sort of like, I don't think you can make a hobby out of, you know, clicking buttons to look at a picture of a country.
I think making an antenna and setting up a station and listening to a rare station, it's, I mean, I think it's the difference between, you know, you could click on a button and look at a picture of Egypt or you can fly to Egypt and set up a ham radio station.
You know?
Yeah.
That it's the difference between...
I mean, everything now with the Internet is so mental.
You know?
art bell
I know.
But you are not going to easily sell this to people into instant gratification.
And we've got a society into instant gratification.
Want to talk to Egypt?
unidentified
Boom.
art bell
Click the mouse button.
unidentified
Yes, but I would say that the point is that there's going to be a core of people who are going to be the geniuses of the next generation.
And they're going to be out doing wonderful things.
And they are the people who, I think they're people who seek out challenge.
And I would say that, I mean, it's the difference between driving a race car and riding in a 747.
You pay your ticket and you go faster than you go in a race car.
But it's not the same thing.
That's the challenge that makes it different.
art bell
I agree with you.
It's a good analogy.
But the trick is, and this is what Wayne needs to figure out and I need to figure out and you need to figure out, how do we impart this in an entertaining, exciting way?
unidentified
I think the space is part of it.
I think that has to be a component because I don't even think people just appreciate what you can do.
art bell
Well, you know, but Wayne, go ahead.
wayne green
Yeah.
If you tell people the exciting times that you've had and share the excitement and the fun and the adventure that you have with amateur radio, that will communicate itself to people.
And that's what I do, is I say, you know, I've had an incredible life because of the adventure that amateur radio has provided me.
art bell
It's never changed for me, Wayne.
It's still as exciting as it ever was when I, you know, even back in the beginning when I was, when it was CW, Morse Code, folks, and I was very new at it, and I was 12 and 13, and a signal was coming to me from the other side of the country, and then very soon the other side of the world.
That magic has never gone away.
In fact, doing this talk show, I know I'm on the air in a new place or in Canada, you know, and calls are coming from Nova Scotia and calls are coming from the Virgin Islands and from Hawaii and from Tahiti and from Japan.
It's a thrill all over again each time.
That never changes, and that's ham radio.
But I don't know how to, I don't know how to.
wayne green
Just talk about it.
Just talk about it.
Right now, the way we've talked has gotten hundreds, maybe thousands of people interested in finding out more about this.
And, you know, when you explain to them, look, it's easy to get a license.
We had kids four years old with a license.
art bell
Wayne, if it hadn't been for ham radio, I wouldn't be doing this.
wayne green
Well, me either.
You know, this is what has guided my whole life.
art bell
Ham radio to me, I would say, about 80% of the jobs that I ever got, ham radio.
wayne green
Yeah, well, of course, I, you know, started out publishing ham magazines.
It didn't start out that way, but I got into it.
And that got me into publishing the computer magazines.
That got me into publishing music magazines and so forth.
But each of these things were technical things that evolved from amateur radio for me.
art bell
But our educational system is not turning out people who have inculcated to them the kind of drive that it takes to go after all these things.
wayne green
Well, we have an educational system, and I can go on for hours about that, that was developed on purpose by our religious leaders about 150 years ago to provide just that kind of a result.
They took the Prussian military schools and replicated them over here.
And then when the Industrial Revolution came along, they said, boy, this is great.
We're able to take people, all kinds of people, and turn them out to be exactly the same.
This is just what we need to run to use in our factories.
But again, we're still doing it.
art bell
To believe this, it requires a belief in a gigantic, horrible conspiracy.
wayne green
Well, that's what there was.
art bell
See, there we are again.
wayne green
Right.
No, they did this on purpose.
art bell
All right.
East of the Rockies, you're on the air with Wayne Green.
unidentified
Not a lot of time.
wayne green
Hello.
unidentified
Yeah, hi, Art.
Hi, Wayne.
John from New York.
Last time I spoke to you, Wayne, I called you from my repeater in New York City.
You know, for goodness since then, I've moved upstate in New York.
You moved out of the city a long time ago.
wayne green
Yep, 38 years ago.
unidentified
Yeah, Wayne, I want to call about the moon thing, really.
But we need a magazine.
I'm in the repair business, you know, VCRs, TVs, and computer monitors, et cetera.
There is no magazine out there telling us anything about what's going on.
The only one that's out there is, well, you know who that's published by, I think.
wayne green
Yeah.
unidentified
And it's nothing.
I mean, they're telling you what a resistor is.
It's unreal.
wayne green
Well, there may be some people with entrepreneurial spirit that are listening.
unidentified
I hope there is.
I mean, all we need really is the manufacturer's literature, you know, from all the different manufacturers.
But getting to the moon thing, and I have, I'm going to have to go over it again.
I've got a videotape I made way back on an Ampex 1-inch machine as it happened, unedited.
But what's bothered me is that we just now found out there's ice on the moon.
art bell
That's true.
unidentified
Now, wait a minute.
We had three more flights we had scheduled, never went.
And they more or less told us, well, we know everything about the moon.
It's no bother.
Why should we go back?
art bell
That's true, statement.
unidentified
And here we are going into space with, well, right now there's another zoo up there.
We're raising fruit flies, looking how flames burn in space.
And there's the moon.
We definitely know now we have not thoroughly examined it.
And even back, the other thing that bothers me, either we are in space every day, which I kind of think, is that the X-Planes back in the 50s, they were wearing spacesuits, and they had to put thrusters on them because there was no air up there.
art bell
Caller, we're running out of time.
unidentified
Okay, we were so close to space at that time, you know.
art bell
I think the best evidence there may be that we never went to the moon is that we haven't been back in 30-something years, right?
unidentified
I think so.
art bell
I appreciate you, Call, sir.
That's giving you a little olive branch there, Wayne.
It seems impossible.
wayne green
John, thanks a lot for the idea on the magazine.
If we have any entrepreneurs, that's a good hint for them.
I have a number of magazines that people should be publishing, and I've written about them in my editorials and say, look, come on, fellas, get on the stick.
These magazines are needed badly, and they'll make all kinds of money.
art bell
Well, there you are.
Look, Wayne has a list he will send you of books that you're out of your mind, crazy if you don't read.
That's five bucks.
Or he's got a list of Wayne Green stuff that he'll send you for free if you send at least the number 10 legal-size envelope with a stamp on it.
And he'll send it to you for free.
And you would send it to Wayne Green, Hancock, H-A-N-C-O-C-K, Hancock, New Hampshire, zip code 03449.
Is that right, Wayne?
wayne green
You got it.
If they really have to have a box number, it's box 60.
art bell
Box 60, but it really doesn't matter.
wayne green
This is a small town of 400.
art bell
There's 400 people in Hancock, New Hampshire.
wayne green
Well, I'm living here on a 200-acre farm.
Oh, you.
art bell
Poor fellow, you.
wayne green
We have wild turkeys going out here every day, beer all over the place, and so forth.
art bell
Rough life.
Right.
200-acre farm.
All right, well, as always, my friend, it has been a great pleasure.
And we will do it again.
We will do it.
Don't send me nasty faxes.
We'll do it again, all right?
wayne green
I'll pull some of the pins out.
art bell
All right, good.
Good night, Wayne.
wayne green
Okay, good night, Art.
art bell
That's it, folks.
That's Wayne Green, the editor and chief cook at 73 Magazine.
And he has done so much.
If you want to do something interesting, just study the life of Wayne Green.
Some love him, some hate him, but he's quite something.
