art bell
Well, good morning, everybody.
We're about, I guess, soon to get a woolly mammoth, a full 60-ton woolly mammoth back alive again because they've got one in the ice with green grass around it.
They're going to take air dryers, detaw it.
They obviously are going to get a complete sequence of DNA, and before we know it, Wooly Boy is going to be back.
Oh my, isn't that good?
unidentified
One morning comes and you're still working.
I'm a black man to rest for darkness.
art bell
Great to be with you coming up shortly.
A man they have in effigy at NASA.
unidentified
So you have to stay on.
art bell
A one-time advisor to NASA.
unidentified
But the trumpet is dream.
art bell
You know what they do to effigies, right?
One-time advisor to Walter Tronkide and the Angstrom Science Award winner Richard C. Hoagland with a number of things we want to cover for you this morning.
Something so captivating about that song, Courtney.
Underway in a moment.
By the way, once again, website alert.
We have really got some interesting stuff up tonight.
So does Richard C. Holland.
He'll tell you about that in a second.
We have a photograph of a stealth ship in the ocean.
It's real.
And I've never seen a picture of it before, but it looks like the waterborne version of the F-117.
Damnedest thing you ever saw.
It's up there now.
With respect to a conversation we had the other night with Lori, you may recall we talked about three men and a baby and one frame of that movie showing a young fellow staring out a window, or by a window.
Somebody sent me that frame, that one frame, and is on my website right now.
And then, to add to it all, we have the king of all contrail photographs.
Absolutely the king of all contrail photographs.
And when you look at it, you will realize the message is simple.
The message is we lose.
Take a look.
By the way, the website, before the weekend ends, maybe, who knows, before the night ends, is going to roll over to 50 million hits.
We're coming up on 50 million, 50 million hits.
Here is the man in effigy in Pasadena and Florida and Houston.
And boy, they just love him everywhere.
Richard C. Oakland.
Hi, Richard.
richard c hoagland
Good morning, Art.
art bell
Hi.
richard c hoagland
Well, this effigy thing, we're going to have to work up another intro because it's kind of wearing a little thin.
art bell
Well, I don't usually use effigy.
I think I use hallowed halls and maybe bust in lining the halls or something like that.
Effigy is new.
richard c hoagland
Well, I've had feedback from listeners who actually think that you're serious.
I'm serious.
You know, I was astonished that people can't see firmly on the webcam, tongue in cheek, but some people can't.
art bell
Richard, you're not loved in much of NASA.
I mean, there is some truth in that, as you all know.
richard c hoagland
Well, there's a lot of people who are very confused, I think, in NASA right now because it's like a lot of people in government and in the country, what is really going on?
art bell
Sure.
richard c hoagland
We have people after the loss of Mars Orbiter who before would never use the word cover story and who've been talking about it as a cover story.
art bell
Well, that's true.
richard c hoagland
We had one on the other night.
art bell
Tom Man Slander.
Absolutely.
richard c hoagland
Tom, as you know, runs at work time from any hint of conspiracy.
art bell
Well, I didn't say whether you were right or wrong.
I just said a lot of them don't like you.
richard c hoagland
Well, I don't think it's a lot.
I think there's a lot who are confused.
I think there is a core, a cadre that definitely don't like us because we're pursuing, you know, doggedly and very persistently what is, in fact, going on.
art bell
Well, yes, but Richard, if your theories are correct about who they are, they're the ones that are in real control.
richard c hoagland
Yeah, but those people are very small and few and far between.
The ones that I'm concerned about are the middle of the curve.
Most of us who don't really understand that there are two agendas, there appear to be two governments.
I mean, Ed Mitchell, who is a NASA person in good standing, has been on your show and has said there are two governments in these United States.
art bell
That's right.
richard c hoagland
Duly elected and then the one that we didn't elect.
art bell
Right.
Well, one likes you and the other doesn't.
richard c hoagland
Well, but would you expect any less or any more?
art bell
Absolutely not.
richard c hoagland
And time will tell if we have been correct.
There's a lot of things that I want to get through tonight because we don't have a lot of time.
art bell
Richard, based on what's happened to the two of us over recent times, I don't have any doubt.
We'll leave it at that.
unidentified
Okay.
All right.
art bell
And that means not just you, but it means me too.
They don't come After you for nothing, Richard.
richard c hoagland
I don't think so.
unidentified
No.
Okay.
art bell
All right.
We do have a lot to talk about.
I do want to get your comments.
This amazing story now, just hours old, about the frozen body of a mammoth, a woolly mammoth, a full 60-ton adult woolly mammoth with green grass in the ice.
Scientists are going to take hair dryers and slowly, slowly, slowly melt the ice until they can get to the mammoth, and the grass for that matter.
And then they are going to obviously have fresh meat and they are going to get a full DNA sequence.
And we may get a woolly mammoth.
And I think you know more about how.
richard c hoagland
Well, I think this is an extraordinary step forward scientifically.
I heard you discussing with Linda there's a possible downside.
I don't see it.
In fact, I think this poor little guy, when he or she is born, little, well, they start little, is going to be definitely on the endangered list because A, there will only be one on the entire planet.
And B, since, I mean, let's go through what they're going to do.
They're going to try to get cells which will reproduce.
They will basically do the same procedure they did with Dolly, the infamous sheep in Scotland.
And they will then have to implant this genetic material in the nucleus of another animal, another kind of cell, to bring it to term.
And they have chosen, as I understand from the literature, an elephant.
art bell
An elephant.
richard c hoagland
Because that is the closest related creature that currently exists to the woolly mammoth.
art bell
Now, the audience should understand what would be birthed if it was successful would not be a cross between an elephant and a mammoth.
It would be a full-blown-town mammoth.
richard c hoagland
100% mammoth.
Now, here's the problem.
art bell
We'd only have one sex.
richard c hoagland
At the moment.
Until they find another mammoth and do this with another mammoth, and then you might be able to breed a herd.
But here's the interesting question.
You worried before about diseases.
Linda, last week, I believe, had a show where she was reporting on a group at Syracuse State University who are looking in deep ice cores for preserved viruses.
art bell
30 to 40 million years old, yes.
richard c hoagland
And the closer you get in time, the more viable the viruses are and the more potentially dangerous they become.
Well, this little guy, if they succeed in the cloning, will not carry any viruses because it will literally be from one cell.
And it will be a pristine virgin birth.
Here's the problem.
This little guy lived, or his parent or his clone mate will have lived between 15 and 20 some thousand years ago.
That means that any and all diseases currently alive on planet Earth will play havoc with this little guy's immune system because he will have lived at a time.
He faces an extraordinary danger, and they will have to keep him in isolation from even simple things.
art bell
What about, though, the unfrozen body of the fresh-meated woolly mammoth that they're going to take the DNA sequencing from?
richard c hoagland
Well, as the researchers, I would be very careful with their hair dryers because that is a problem.
art bell
Yeah.
richard c hoagland
All right?
No one so far has raised this, but given the viability of the cells, you know, the green grass, the chlorophyll, the resilience of the flesh, there is a potential problem of, you know, other toxins, not toxins, but, you know, viable organisms, viruses, bacteria, whatever.
And I would think this all would have to be done in a clean room with overpressure from the outside.
art bell
It sounds good.
I know what you're saying, obviously.
They have to be very careful.
But remember Reston, Virginia.
richard c hoagland
Oh, of course.
I mean, it just seems to me, I've been watching this story now for the last couple, three days on, you know, CNN and MSNBC and Fox, and nowhere has anybody raised the problem of containment.
Because if you thaw this guy out, there is the excellent possibility of viable organisms that will be released.
art bell
You bet.
richard c hoagland
That's a much deeper problem than the cloning.
The cloning, now let's get to one of the subjects that I want to move into tonight.
I'm intrigued with the timing.
We have had this technology before DALI.
I mean, DALI was kind of the visible news of it, but it's been around for a few years before DALI was successful.
There have been mammoth carcasses found.
Not a whole mammoth, but you don't need a whole mammoth.
I mean, how many cells in a cubic foot of mammoth meat would you have to experiment with before you get one that would be viable?
art bell
Well, I don't think you'd need that much, but it would certainly have to be viable.
richard c hoagland
In other words, for the last several decades, going back to the 20s, we've had stories of mammoths, you know, in Siberia, mammoths when they were putting in the Alaska Highway.
We've had lots and lots and lots of reports of samples from the northern tundra, the northern permafrost, and a lot of these are still in freezers, all right, as samples?
art bell
Yes.
richard c hoagland
So I'm intrigued with the timing.
Let's just imagine that we're looking back, that we're looking back to conditions that existed here on Earth between 13,000 and 27,000 years ago for a reason.
art bell
An ice age.
richard c hoagland
An ice age, or in the middle of the last ice age.
We have a lot of data indicating that our history, our ancient, ancient history, is not exactly as it has been portrayed.
I'm thinking, for instance, of Charles Hapgood and the so-called Pira Reis map, which was found many years ago in the 20s, they actually found a copy of a map by this British, not British, Turkish admiral, Pira Reis.
And none other than FDR and the Secretary of State got really interested in the 30s at the discovery in Turkey of a version of this map.
And Hapgood published in his book, which has been reprinted by Dover, a series of letters going back between the administration of Franklin Delano Roosevelt and the Turkish administration trying to get hold of the map.
So there was a lot of interest around the 30s in this ancient window on an ancient technology which was stunningly more advanced than any navigation on this planet up until the 1800s, which of course is one of the solid evidences that we have that maybe we're not the first, maybe we're not the first high civilization to exist on this planet.
Well I find it remarkable that this fawing and cloning of this huge, amazing beast that disappeared, went extinct at the end of the last ice age, should be in the same timeframe that we discover other evidence that we may, in fact, not have been the first.
And I'm referring to the glyphs.
art bell
Richard, why would the woolly mammoths go extinct, just as a matter of curiosity?
richard c hoagland
Well, the prevailing theory, the mainstream theory, is that Stone Age hunters on the North American continent were such efficient killers and hunters that they literally hunted them to extinction.
Even though the climatic conditions were conducive to them thriving even after the ice melted, because we know they existed in very deep ice regimes, they apparently disappeared when conditions got a lot sunnier, a lot warmer.
art bell
Well, let me put it this way, Richard.
I hope that theory is correct and that there was not something that killed them all that's still there.
I rest my case.
richard c hoagland
You're talking vivirial or bacteriological?
Yeah, well, that's a very interesting consideration.
art bell
And it's not like we've not had viruses that have jumped species even recently.
richard c hoagland
Exactly.
What I would recommend, given who you are and given what this audience is, is that you make an effort to get hold of the researcher.
I believe he's in the Midwest at one of the universities there and get him on the show and go through the story and point out some of these downside dangers.
art bell
I wonder if he'd want to talk about that.
richard c hoagland
He seems to be interested in doing television.
I'm sure he might want enough time to, I mean, he talked, when I saw the brief interview today, he talked as if this was the magical completion of the goal of the lifetime.
So I don't think he would be hesitant to discuss, you know, his hopes, his dreams, the fruition, the plans, etc.
art bell
Oh, well, I'm sure that a Nobel Prize is glittering above his head.
If you imagine a cartoon, you know, it's sitting up there above his head.
richard c hoagland
Well, you know, if this works, there's a potential for bringing back a number of extinct species.
art bell
Oh, shit.
richard c hoagland
And it gets more extinct.
art bell
Dinosaurs.
Dinosaurs.
richard c hoagland
Well, I mean, the problem with dinosaurs, at least the conventional problem is you're dealing with creatures that are at a minimum 65 million years of age.
art bell
That's right.
richard c hoagland
And the problem there is the viability of actual blood cells.
I mean, you can't clone a fossil because you're basically substituting minerals for the active organic ingredients in the cell structure.
art bell
Unless they can find one that got roughly instantly frozen in the same way this mammoth did.
richard c hoagland
Well, as a matter of fact, a couple three years ago, there was a story that came out of Montana along about the time that the dinosaur named Sue became kind of controversial.
art bell
I remember Sue.
richard c hoagland
And there was a young grad student, I don't remember her name, it may have been Helen, but she was working with one of the chief paleontologists who I think was the consultant to Spielberg on Jurassic Park.
This is all dim memory.
The point is that we found through an interesting series of inquiries and phone calls that this young grad student on opening the femur of one of these Tyrannosaurus rexes which had been found in Montana or Wyoming.
art bell
They're the real meme ones.
richard c hoagland
Had actually found in the center of the bone.
The femur of a T-rex is a huge mass weighing hundreds, if not a thousand pounds.
art bell
They find viable DNA?
unidentified
They found viable blood cells.
art bell
All right.
Well, that would do it then.
Somewhere in some lab, somebody is about to produce a T-Rex then.
richard c hoagland
Maybe.
Maybe.
Maybe this is just foreshadowing more interesting things to come.
It is a brave new world, or is it a brave old world?
art bell
Well, I've seen all the Japanese monster movies.
All right, Richard, listen, what I want you to do is hold on.
When we come back, we're going to talk about the recent interesting behavior of our president, if we can, all right?
Okay.
Stay right where you are.
Good morning, everybody.
I'm Art Bell.
Richard C. Hoagland is my guest.
A lot to get in in this hour.
unidentified
You showed me how to do exactly what you do, how I fell in love with you.
art bell
T-Rex.
unidentified
Oh, it's true.
art bell
Wouldn't that be something?
unidentified
Oh, I love you.
art bell
Don't touch that dial.
We'll be right back.
unidentified
You showed me how to say exactly what you say in that very special way.
art bell
You're listening to the Twin Cities Talk Station, AM 1500 KSTB.
unidentified
Twin Cities Talk Station.
It is a night My body's weak Thank you.
I need to run a bad thing.
I've got to ride by the wind.
Wanna take a ride?
Well, call Art Bell from west to the Rockies at 1-800-618-8255.
East of the Rockies at 1-800-825-5033.
First-time callers may recharge at 1-775-727-1222.
The wildcard line is open at 1-775-727-1295.
And to rechart on the toll-free international line, call your AT ⁇ T operator and have them dial 800-893-0903.
This is Coast to Coast AM with Art Bell on the premier radio networks.
What the long way to go?
Mystical, divided, like the wind, like the wind.
art bell
Riding like the wind.
Good morning, everybody.
I'm Art Bell.
Richard C. Hoagland is here.
And by the way, our woolly mammoth friend, perfectly preserved in ice, has been flown to guess where?
Arizona.
Now, Pat, I live in the American Southwest, as you well know, from the recent earthquake in Po.
And during the summer here, it can get to 118 degrees as it does down in Arizona.
And of course, Y2K is coming, and you know me.
I always tend to sort of look at the negative side of things, and somehow in my mind, I picture this 118-degree day.
unidentified
Uh-oh, Harry, better check it.
art bell
The power has failed.
unidentified
The power has failed.
art bell
Try to get in.
By the way, this coming Monday night, I am going to be here live because towards the end of the week, I'm going to be going to Mackinac Island in Michigan for the Somewhere in Time reunion.
So live with Ghost Ghost on Monday, and then Tuesday, Chris Carter, executive producer of Harsh Realm and, of course, X-Files and on and on and on, is going to be here in the first hour.
Second hour is going to be Eric Geller.
So I thought I would pass that on to you once again, Richard C. Holtman.
Richard, you're back on the air.
Hi there.
Hi.
richard c hoagland
By the way, you know, I live downwind.
Weather systems go from west to east, Art.
art bell
That's right.
richard c hoagland
Because it's coming this way.
art bell
At 7,000 feet, that'd be about the first place it would touch.
unidentified
Thank you.
art bell
You're very welcome.
But I mean, in Arizona, you know, Harry, the power's off.
What do we do?
richard c hoagland
Well, actually, this is interesting because it means that we can actually kind of eavesdrop and look over these guys' shoulders and see what's really going on.
Not that far away.
You approach him from the west, and I'll approach him from the east.
art bell
All right, listen.
Our president, and I've got a story here on it.
He's been acting, ABC story says Clinton cuts loose.
I've got that story, and it suggests that he's been acting in rather rather odd ways lately and getting very blunt and very I'm not sure what the right word to use would be here.
richard c hoagland
How about on edge?
art bell
On edge.
Yeah, that's, I suppose, a good word.
richard c hoagland
Did you see the press conference the other day?
art bell
No, I did not.
richard c hoagland
After the nuclear test span treaty was voted down, Clinton held a press conference, I guess, a day or two following.
And we can get, of course, the C-SPAN view or the C-SPAN repeat.
That's the beauty of C-SPAN, which I taped.
I mean, I kind of archived these things because you never know when something relevant to the things we're looking at will kind of slip in or pop up or whatever.
The most extraordinary thing happened.
This president has held, I don't know how many press conferences.
He has held press conferences with heads of state from all around the world.
He has, you know, held them by himself.
He has held forth in the Rose Garden.
He is the master of the extemporaneous remark.
He is, you know, at times he outreagens Reagan in terms of being able to handle himself on his feet.
Even the most difficult, awkward, embarrassing questions, somehow this guy, you know, he is the Teflon president.
art bell
He feels them.
And also, he really begins telling all when he's tired.
richard c hoagland
Yes.
Well, at the end of this press conference, where he was obviously, you know, aiming at the Republicans right between the eyes for what had been done to the tree, he ends it.
It ends on a solid note.
He turns to walk.
You know how they have the camera set up where you have the podium in front of that big, long hallway with the red carpet all the way up?
art bell
Yes.
richard c hoagland
The President of the United States, the 800-pound gorilla of the free world, turns, majestically walks back down the hall.
The C-SPAN camera pans out to give us this beautiful framed shot.
He then makes a sharp left-hand turn to enter the White House in the door that he entered to begin the press conference, and the door is locked.
unidentified
He cannot get into the White House.
richard c hoagland
And it's in full view, and of course, C-SPAN cameras are running, and they keep the audio running, and the buzz among the press, the world press gathered is, what the hell is going on?
The president has been locked out of the White House.
art bell
I figure it was Hillary.
richard c hoagland
In a few seconds, he moves further down the hall and goes out the end door.
Five guys come out of this door on the left and stand, you know, big guys, secret service type guys.
art bell
Probably with little earphones.
richard c hoagland
It was bizarre because it was so symbolic of some of the other abnormalities and oddities that have been going on around this president.
For instance, this president over the last several months has been ostensibly priming the pump for Al Gore, his, you know, to be successor.
art bell
Yes.
richard c hoagland
There was, however, a beginning of a bizarre twist to this story in Chicago a few months ago, and it continued tonight in Washington at a fundraising dinner.
art bell
Oh.
richard c hoagland
Because instead of, well, he showed up at this, I believe it was AFL-CIO meeting in Chicago in the middle of the summer, and everyone was primed that he would be giving a speech strongly in support of his vice president and his successor, carry on the work of the administration Al Gore.
Instead, he regaled the audience with a discussion of what it would be like if he could run for a third term.
art bell
I heard that.
richard c hoagland
And it was perplexing and confounding and dumbfounding to most people because, of course, of the, I believe it was the 25th Amendment.
art bell
22nd.
richard c hoagland
22nd.
He cannot, the 25th is his succession when the president is incapacitated.
He cannot, you know, succeed himself for a third term under any imaginable scenario except one.
If there is some national or international emergency and the executive orders for martial law go into effect, they're already signed in place.
art bell
Then William Jefferson Clinton, like FDR, the ability to sign is all in place.
richard c hoagland
Could remain in office until the emergency was over.
So I've been tracking the number of occasions.
I mean, this is the only president in modern history who has ever, at the end of his legal two terms, kept voicing the opinion that he would Love to run and that he would win if he could run and he'd like to stay on, etc., etc.
art bell
I agree.
He would win.
He would win.
richard c hoagland
Tonight, he did it again.
And there are stories now detailing all of what we're talking about on your website.
If you connect through my name or through Enterprise or go to Enterprise directly, you will see we've set up a whole page which is devoted to this Clinton bizarreness.
The most bizarre of which is the story that you referred to a moment ago about him going out Sunday night playing golf all by himself in the rain in the dead of night.
art bell
Playing golf by 18 holes, right?
richard c hoagland
Yep.
art bell
By himself, in the dark, in the rain.
richard c hoagland
This is the Dredge Report.
art bell
With reporters, President.
richard c hoagland
With reporters.
Get this, all right?
Drudge report for October 17th at 2307 E.T. Clinton golfs alone in rain and dark.
President Clinton played a full 18 holes of golf on Sunday evening, all by himself in the rain.
Clinton completed a full round in pitch dark at a deserted Army-Navy country club in Arlington, Virginia, in a development one Clinton insider called odd.
Quote, it was odd, it was strange, the Clinton insider, who has known the president for more than 20 years, told the Drudge Report on Sunday evening.
Quote, I'm worried.
It sounds completely out of character.
Maybe he is working off stress or he's using golf as a form of therapy or prevention.
He's promised Hillary no more cheating, said the Clinton insider.
Maybe he felt urges and went out to the golf course rather than give in to the urges.
Secret Service agents and news media were given only minutes' notice before Clinton departed for the club.
Quote, he was playing in the pitch dark.
He was swinging and wildly hitting balls everywhere, one pool reporter told an associate in the White House pressroom after the trip.
art bell
Maybe there's some metaphoric content in whacking balls that way, Richard.
richard c hoagland
Well, I am looking at anomalies that would confirm or deny what we're all very heavily researching behind the scenes, which is, is something major going to go down on November 7th of this year?
art bell
Rumor alert.
richard c hoagland
And I have been looking to Washington sources.
We have, as you know, been in touch with a former member of the National Security Council, who in fact has a couple of good Secret Service friends who he asked about this bizarre escapade.
art bell
I spoke to him earlier.
richard c hoagland
And the Secret Service guys gave a version of a story which with a wink and a nod, they basically told our source not to believe, that there was something else going on.
The ostensible reason was that Clinton was furious over a second treaty that we're attempting to have modified with the Russians, which is the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty, the ABM Treaty.
And we, in fact, have contributed a lot of money, many millions of dollars, to the development of a very high-power radar in the former Soviet Union, it turns out, in return for their acquiescence in the modification of this treaty.
And it looks as if the Republicans are going to stymie that effort as well.
So that was the ostensible reason, according to these three conservative sources, except they then turned to our source and said, but don't put too much stock in that.
So what do I think is going on?
art bell
Well, let me add one more thing and then tell us what you think is going on.
richard c hoagland
Okay.
art bell
There is also another rumor, underlying rumor, that the president intends to address the nation on December 31st at 11.50 p.m.
Now, gotta wonder what he might say.
richard c hoagland
10 minutes to midnight.
art bell
Yeah, 10 of midnight.
Anyway, what do you think it all means?
richard c hoagland
Well, obviously, we don't know.
We are looking for clues.
We are looking for sources.
We are looking for confirmation of some kind of event that appears to be coming out of the shadowy dark.
Now, our NSC source weeks ago, as we started intensively trying to track through what he knew and who was talking to him, mentioned October 17th as a critical day in this run-up to November 7th.
He said that November 17th, a major set of events would be set in motion.
One scenario was that there would actually be something that would precipitate the, how should I say, questioning of certain people who are not friendly to official government positions on some of these issues.
art bell
You mean like you?
richard c hoagland
Well, I guess like me, okay?
The fact of the matter is that that was the date that we were told maybe, just maybe, something would be happening at the presidential level in terms of enactment of orders in the event that some of these rumors turn out to be more than rumors.
So when this report came to my attention that Clinton is out in the dark with the press go, remember, if a president wants to take it out on furniture or glassware or dishes, he's got a whole residential floor.
No one would ever know.
He could bust up the whole place and nobody would ever know.
art bell
That's right.
richard c hoagland
So what Clinton did was specifically, at the last minute, leave the White House and round up everybody who was in the press room on that Sunday evening and take them with him to watch him hit balls wildly in all directions in full view of the National Press Corps.
And people were looking and commenting on aberrant behavior.
Now, obviously, the president wanted this aberrant behavior to be noticed.
Why?
He has been making comments about a third term to be noticed.
Why?
There's one other data point.
No one can figure out why Clinton signed this release order for the FLN terrorists in New York City.
It just made no sense.
It made no sense in terms of his own administration.
art bell
Hillary was.
It made no sense in terms of that.
I know.
richard c hoagland
Well, because if you look at the polls, and Clinton has been driven by polls, less than 1% of the Puerto Ricans give a damn about independence.
They want to be part of the United States of America.
So there was no political hate to be gained on the part of the Puerto Rican community.
And you know that Clinton is not out of touch in terms of polls and pollsters and polling.
He has spent an incredible amount of money on polls to find out which way the wind is blowing.
unidentified
That's right.
richard c hoagland
My theory, and again, it's merely part of this shadowy thing We're trying to put together is that maybe this president is trying to tell us that he is really not running the system.
art bell
Lame dots don't care as much about polls, or for that matter, what they say as much.
But talk of a third term.
Now, that's a little disturbing.
richard c hoagland
Well, it's repeating.
It's over and over and over again.
I mean, I was startled tonight to find more references.
Two more references in the last couple weeks.
Now, let me tell you what I think is going on with this terrorist business in New York.
If there is some event, and remember ABC ran a full week of bioterrorism?
art bell
Of course, yes.
richard c hoagland
If there is an event and some on the inside suspect that it's being planned for the end of the year, and if they also suspect that there isn't anything they can really do about it, except maybe try to alert quietly those who are perceptive to take their own steps to not be in town when something untoward goes down,
it may be a way of calling attention to things that you cannot stand behind the podium in the East Room and talk to the world and the nation about because of the fear of panic.
Remember, there was a major discussion in that ABC series about how much can you tell the public how soon for fear of social disorder, social dislocation.
If we're looking at anything here, what we really need is more help.
We've got one solid source, a guy with impeccable credentials who is serious.
You talk to him, you know that he himself is clean.
We have concerns about the data he's been getting, about the sourcing he's been getting.
What would help us enormously out there tonight, everyone listening to us, is if somebody would call Art or fax me or call me or email Art or communicate in some way that they have solid information of whatever is planned, if anything is planned.
And again, we don't know specifically that anything is planned.
art bell
Do you want to give out your fax number?
richard c hoagland
Absolutely.
art bell
Do it.
richard c hoagland
Area code 505-771-0820.
art bell
All right.
505-505-771-771-0820.
0820.
And that's anybody with...
richard c hoagland
We've had, as you know, anonymous sources regarding this event.
We also had some intel sources I've dealt with over the years who have called and confirmed that something is going down, but even they are not sure exactly what.
We need more people like our NSE source who is willing to go on the air, on the record.
He's willing to talk to major newspapers, major television shows.
He's willing to talk to art.
We need more good Americans who believe in the Constitution.
And if they know that something is being planned, let them come forward.
Because the one thing I can tell you tonight is if it's being, if it's going to go down, it's being planned.
It's not an act of God.
And this includes up to the so-called meteor or asteroid scenario.
The technology exists on those STS videos, 48 and 80, under someone's control that's not from an outside source, some black ops project, to manipulate, maneuver, and deflect whatever is coming our way.
So the honest guys, let's assume for a minute that Clinton was briefed for the first time on Sunday night on what might be coming and the fact there's nothing that the Pentagon says that can be done about it.
A la Stephen Greer.
Under that scenario, I can imagine that he would basically take the press car out and whack balls in every direction because golf balls are a clear metaphor for projectiles landing willy-nilly in less than nothing.
art bell
Yeah, but Richard, the one piece that doesn't fit is if there's going to be an event that would precipitate the declaration of an emergency that would keep him in office, that is something he would like.
I mean, he's already said so.
So he wouldn't express that.
richard c hoagland
Art, has he said so because that's the one scenario he doesn't want?
In other words, if this president is a prisoner of a system and forces beyond our control, remember, Ed Mitchell, there are two governments.
Remember the first question this president asked when he came into office?
art bell
Just remember.
richard c hoagland
What really happened to JFK?
art bell
I know.
And UFOs.
Richard, for the record, how's your heart?
richard c hoagland
My heart is great.
art bell
It's in good shape.
richard c hoagland
It's in excellent shape.
art bell
All right, listen, we're out of time.
My friend, as always, thank you very much.
And you've got your fax number out.
We'll find out what shows up.
richard c hoagland
And stay tuned.
art bell
Stay tuned is indeed the term.
All right, good night.
Richard C. Hoagland, I'm Art Bell.
This is Coast to Coast AM.
When we come back, open lines.
