Listener Verde submits a cleaned transcript of an intercepted Art Bell ham radio chat where Bell declares he will never return to broadcasting due to severe stress and threats. The fragment reveals Bell's frustration with intruders, his decision to call police regarding past events, and a friend's chilling advice that if "they" kill him, it is preferable to family violence, suggesting no further need to bug his wife. Ultimately, this raw exchange exposes the intense personal danger Bell faced, contrasting his public persona with private desperation and unresolved conflict. [Automatically generated summary]
Last night, this is sent in by an individual who goes by the name of Verde.
Last night, while in the Art Bell chat room, someone claimed they picked up Art talking to friends on a short wave, the ham radio.
He posted the following in the chat.
I had to clean up the spelling errors so it was legible as he was typing as fast as he could while listening.
Excuse me, so this was taken down apparently on the fly.
I know it's more fuel to the fire, but it's interesting nonetheless.
It's allegedly a ham radio conversation monitored and typed by someone who was listening.
Art says, a little bit of a fragment here and there.
Art answered, I have to tell you that the overwhelming response is amazing, but due to stress and all, all I can say is no, I will never consider coming back to radio ever, period.
As far as what's happening, all I can say is watch for my press conference.
Exclamation point.
That was apparently said with some emphasis.
Don't know why they decided to come to my house to do, oh damn, glad I caught myself.
Yeah, anyway, they're a bunch of idiots.
I didn't, geez, got to go before I say too much.
Call me.
They said, oh, you're safe, yeah.
Right then, how come I had to call the police again?
Right.
Then how come I had to call the police again?
I'm sick of the crap, all for something 20 years ago.
Damn it.
It's not me who they are.
There I go again.
Got to learn to stop before I let it out.
Oh, Jeffrey.
His friend said, if it was me, I'd just go somewhere where I'm allowed to defend myself since they and the police won't.
Friend said again, piece of advice, let it all out.
If they'll off you, they'll off you better than your family, right?
Then they got no reason to bug her anymore.
End of alleged ham radio transmission as transcribed by a listener.
Very alleged.
That sounds really rude, but remember that lift I saw earlier?
