Time Text
AM 840, KXNV, North Las Vegas, the Valley's number one award-winning and accurate news, weather and traffic, right now.
PBS News, I'm Lou Maliano, live in Times Square, where they've just counted down the start of yet another new year, this time for Argentina and a rainforest adventure.
One and a half million here doing this for every time zone, every hour, everyone like Josh Plattelbaum with the same reason for being here.
I'm from Colorado and this is the place to be.
This is the only place to be in the United States.
They've been here since dawn and many vow to stay to the last time zone.
Rings in the new year with the high point just two hours away when the year 2000 arrives here in Times Square.
Now to the festivities on the Mall in Washington and CBS News correspondent Peter Mayer.
It is party time here, too.
Tens of thousands of people frame the majestic reflecting pool.
With less than two hours until 2000, you can almost feel the sense of collective anticipation in this crowd.
The Clintons and top administration officials and congressional leaders will be here for a gala show and a fireworks display that will turn the Washington Monument into a 550-foot-tall sparkler.
Now for the latest on computer readiness, here's CBS News correspondent Howard Ehrenstein at the Y2K desk in Washington.
The news is good from Transportation Secretary Rodney Slater.
Airports across the nation are not reporting any significant incidences.
Energy Secretary Bill Richardson says Russia's 29 nuclear power plants passed the Y2K test.
Fortunately also Ukraine's power plants have successfully rolled over and we've been concerned about those.
But Undersecretary of State Thomas Pickering warns... We should remain mindful that Y2K problems May appear as the business days begin in the new century.
Monday should be a key day here in the United States.
I'm Howard Arenstein, live at the CBS News Y2K desk.
With more now, here's Sam Litzinger.
Sounds like a lot of folks want to keep their feet firmly on the ground this holiday weekend.
Northwest Airlines has joined other major carriers in canceling some scheduled flights.
Why?
Not enough demand and a shortage of flight crews that want to work.
Rocked in the New Year in Rio de Janeiro with fireworks.
Millions of people dressed in white danced under an exploding sky.
Revelers sent flowers and floating candles into the Atlantic Ocean as offerings to a goddess of the sea who's zoned across Brazil on New Year's Eve.
Police in the Kansas City suburb of Olay say two women walked into a bank and have taken as many as six people hostage.
We believe the hostage takers are two females, possibly in their 20s.
And right now at least one of them is armed that we know of.
The FBI's Jeff Lonza says the suspects aren't going to get away, but they're both young and maybe they don't know that.
No reports anyone's been hurt.
Russia's acting president says democracy is still alive and well in his country despite the surprise resignation of President Boris Yeltsin.
Vladimir Putin says he'll protect freedom of speech, religion and the press.
On Wall Street, the Dow Jones industrials closed up just over 44 points in a short trading day.
This is CBS News.
What will you be doing on December 31st?
I'm not saying where I'll be, but I know I'll be drinking La Grande Dame from Champagne Veuve Clicquot.
Nearly 200 years ago, Madame Clicquot saw... In Buenos Aires, they've just begun celebrating.
Reporter Don Makinson is in the center of things there.
Hello, I'm standing on top of a 16-story high-rise in the geographic center of Buenos Aires.
Very difficult to hear because fireworks are going off all around me.
This is a city that gave up on one central party and instead dispersed parties all over the city for fear of rioting.
3,000 police are all over the city in case a any difficulties but in the meantime parties have started
up everywhere and instead of one central fireworks display there are hundreds of fireworks
displays going off all around me.
This afternoon in Buenos Aires the big fear was that a power shortage would take place shortly
after midnight so there are we are told that there are no candles left in the city.
Reporter Don Makenson, I'm Sam Litzinger, CBS News. I'm Dean DeBoer with the exclusive
Ankyo weather forecast partly to mostly cloudy overnight with below 30.
For New Year's Day, it won't be as mild with times of clouds and sunshine in the high 59.
Patchy clouds Saturday night below 35, Sunday breezy with clouds and some sunshine in the high 55.
With Ankiweather, I'm Dean DeBoer on V-Talk station AM 840 KXNT.
Hi, I'm Tommy Lasorda.
In baseball you get three strikes.
♪♪ From the high desert in the great American Southwest,
I bid you good evening, or yes, still in some cases, good morning, even as is our...
Across many, many time zones, commercially from the Tahitian and Hawaiian island chain, eastward to the Caribbean and the U.S.
Virgin Islands, plural, south into South America, north all the way to the pole, and worldwide on the Internet, this is Coast to Coast AM, and I'm Art Bell.
Most of you.
How's it going where you are?
The news across the world so far is pretty good.
Really good, actually.
The headline on the Associated Press is Y2K bug nibbles but doesn't bite.
The anticipated first bite from the Y2K bug was barely felt Saturday as computers around the world silently made the transition from 1999 to 2000.
I wonder if they expected screams.
The light stayed on in Asia and Eastern Russia's nuclear plants ran without a hitch.
In Japan, the failure of a computer linked to a nuclear plant monitoring device was not considered serious enough to shut the plant down.
They will assess it later.
Millions are staying home and marking it online.
Other millions are in Times Square and capitals around the world.
And I think that the most spectacular, by far, the most spectacular light show was in Gayle, Paris.
The Eiffel Tower really went up like a Roman candle.
That was something to see, wasn't it?
So, so far so good.
One quick warning, though.
Do not declare, based on what you've seen from the rest of the world so far, that Y2K is a complete non-event.
We're not going to know that until we get back to work.
First of the week or so, you know, until the world really goes back to work, and then you'll know more than you know now.
The only event that I was really concerned about tonight, and remain concerned about, by the way, whether it's by human hand or computer glitch, is the power, and we'll see.
As long as we get through the night with power, I think we're going to be okay throughout the weekend, and then when the business week begins, well, we'll see.
One other little item.
In the middle of the show last night, a real shocker, Boris Yeltsin has resigned.
Just, boom, like that.
Resigned.
Remarkable, incredible, unbelievable.
He just called it quits.
As of right now, I'm done.
Handed power over to somebody who's probably much more of a hardliner than he is.
And there has been very... In fact, I really haven't heard a Washington reaction.
I wonder if any of you have yet.
I'm kind of waiting to see what Washington says about it, and I'm not even sure they knew about it.
Well, coming up in a moment is what I believe is our nation's premier intuitive.
His name is Gordon Michael Scallion.
He comes to us tonight, despite the fact that he has the flu.
So many out there have the flu tonight.
Gordon has it, but he's going to be here nevertheless.
Lots and lots to talk about, so all of that lies directly ahead.
In three hours, when Gordon and I have been, all of you have finished, we will then open the lines and we'll do all sorts of various things and monitor what's going on out there.
At any rate, if you're here, welcome to a very, very early edition of what is normally an all-night radio program.
Well, it still is tonight, just we're starting a little early.
Well, maybe you are saying to yourself, food needs durable food.
Maybe you are.
Maybe you've already bought storable food.
If you haven't, we want it, we've got it.
The J. Michael Stevens Company is still lots of good reasons to store food.
The weather out there is just a little sour.
Boy, the weather has been actually unbelievable.
And is in the middle of a big change.
Anyway, J. Michael Stevens, after a hard year, has taken a break.
But you can still order food.
They have prepared, pre-prepared your supplies of food before they went on hiatus.
So call them.
1-800-377-0700.
That's 1-800-377-0700.
Now, this is a biggie.
You're not going to believe this.
That's 1-800-377-0700.
Now, this is a biggie.
You're not going to believe this.
The C. Crane Company is open right now.
They're going to be open until midnight Pacific time.
The next five hours.
And so we're going to advertise a number of products for you that you might want to snap up.
Now that you may not have to use your money for other important things.
How would you like a Zot, a Zot, a Zite radio-controlled wall clock?
This is hooked up by radio It's an amazing clock.
It's hooked up by radio to the atomic clock in Boulder, Colorado.
And they just got a brand new atomic clock in Boulder, Colorado.
You don't even know it's communicating, but this clock electronically communicates with Boulder and resets itself.
As a matter of fact, when you put the battery in and you first start it out, it goes around like an H.G.
Wells time machine.
And then, boom!
Stops.
And begins to tick.
And it is accurate to within one second in a million years.
One second in a million years.
If you look behind me on the wall, way back there, if you're looking at my streaming video or my studio cam, you will see a clock on a wall.
That's a Zeit clock.
I've got the camera tilted up a little bit for a nice welcome 2000 sign.
Got the studio, my wife kind of zipped up the studio a little bit for the celebration hours away here on the West Coast.
But the Zeit Clock is the first item we're going to advertise tonight.
Right now, Bob Crane is actually at work.
He is going to work.
That's where he wanted to be, I guess.
If the world was ending, Bob would want to be down there taking end-of-the-world calls.
But he's there taking, answering your calls right now.
So call him!
It's one of those rare times when the Sea Crane Company is open.
At this time of night.
I mean, they're never open at this time of night.
But tonight, they are.
The Zite Atomically Controlled Clock.
$59.95.
That's right.
$59.95 on sale, specially tonight.
For $79.95.

Buy two and get two free when you call now.
All right, just about every network television program that was doing its big New Year's
event tonight, as we are, invited Gordon Michael Scallion to be on because he is indeed probably
our premier intuitive.
you Gordon was a businessman one day,
Addressing at a very important business conference other business men about a plan and his voice went away.
And when I say went away, I mean mid-word.
It stopped.
They took him to the hospital where he had an experience that we have described previously on this program.
It can only be described as a paranormal experience of some sort.
Went through years of intuitive Growth, I guess you would say, began by actually diagnosing people who had various diseases, telling them what to do, trying to grapple and understand this power he had, and then began looking at the larger picture.
What's going on around the world?
What will go around the world?
He sees things As we have discussed in the past.
Much like you would imagine three television TV screens in front of you.
One of them appearing more contrasty, bright, with more vivid color than the others.
And this one would appear to have the events most likely, not locked in stone, but most likely to occur.
And he has honored us by being here on New Year's Eve.
All the way from the East Coast, in the middle of the flu.
Gordon, welcome to the program.
Happy New Year, Alex.
I hope I got that little first part right.
Happy New Year to you, too.
Yes, you did.
So, we've got, no doubt, a lot to talk about.
Here it is, almost 2000.
It really is.
It's got a feel about it.
You know, it feels like something's coming and of course something always is coming and that's why we have you here tonight to tell us what might be coming.
And I don't know where you want to begin.
I know that you know a lot of stuff about Egypt and some discoveries that may be made there here shortly.
Is that right?
Egypt is probably the one area that I have the most information on.
That and lost civilizations.
Did you know they were going to bring a helicopter in and drop a new gold capstone on the Great Pyramid, and at the last minute, virtually, they ruled against it, saying, well, it might harm the pyramid or something or another, but they would not let Dr. Hawass fly in the helicopter with a gold capstone, so that did not get done.
I understood two or three weeks ago, one of my connections in Egypt informed me that they were not going to be doing it.
It had more to do with, it wasn't just the thought that it would damage the pyramid.
There is another whole range of reasons why that isn't being done.
There have been some amazing discoveries there.
Are you referring to discoveries?
We know about some of the discoveries.
Fox had a show on this year and they showed a few scenes of it, a few clips of it.
Fox had a show on this year and they showed a few scenes of it, a few clips of it.
That's only the beginning of it.
In my book I describe that somewhere around 1995 they would find some hidden chambers
beneath the Sphinx and that would lead to further discoveries.
And eventually those discoveries would come to light probably in the year 2000.
And so we're now in that window, that cycle.
It's going to change the world.
I guess the only way I can describe it would be like when they released the stealth fighter, the 117, and they rolled it out and let the film crews take pictures of it, everybody was amazed.
They said, you know, is this wonderful?
I remember.
But it had been flying for a decade.
You know, we only get the information after the technology has pretty much gone by.
Much later, yeah.
Now, there's other things that are flying.
I did a paper on the craft that I believe is flying now, the Aurora.
And so, you know, when that finally becomes knowledge, it'll be something else.
It's the same thing with archaeology.
Lots of times when discoveries are made, There's a time period before it's released, because there's two major factors in releasing information.
One is, does it violate any kind of political agenda?
And two, does it violate or conflict with any kind of religious structure?
And both of these or even archaeological paradigm.
You are absolutely right and to punctuate what you just said,
I asked Dr. Hawass when I was at Giza, if he made a really major discovery, would we know about it?
Oh yes, he said.
Right away?
Oh no, he said.
He admitted that straight out.
Let me tell you what I believe they've discovered, and more importantly why.
I think we have to back up just a little bit.
I've devoted a significant portion of my book to it.
I'll try to just encapsulate it so that we can do it quickly here.
Okay.
The pyramid itself is believed to be some 4,000 years old.
In reality, according to my information, and others such as Edgar Cayce, We've all kind of targeted within a few years of each other as a date, and that date puts us back 12,500 years ago.
So right off the bat we're in conflict with just about everything that we know as far as age of people.
At that time supposedly we were still in loincloths.
We didn't have any organized systems.
We didn't have language.
But now we're finding, as we're making more and more discoveries because of technology, we're finding that there was, 10,000 years ago, societies.
We are finding a lot of them in Africa, in the Aegean region, here in the United States.
We have got archaeological sites that I have been to that have been dated to 4,000, 5,000,
6,000, 7,000 years.
You are so right.
That particular structure is presented.
I was fortunate enough to go to Egypt and I was very fortunate enough to spend three days
literally by myself inside of that great pyramid.
I was able to do a lot of inner work.
I wasn't part of a group.
It just happened to work out.
Three days?
I stayed.
There's a hotel right across the street from there.
That's right.
Something most people don't know because they never pan the camera around there.
I went down and I wanted to get a ticket to go in like normal people would go in.
This gentleman comes over to me.
Definitely an Egyptian, and looks at me, and hands me this ticket.
I think he is looking for a donation, because everybody is looking for money in that country.
Oh, yes.
Did you ride a camel?
Oh, yeah.
Those guys are really into money, and they won't let you off the camel until you pay them.
Absolutely.
Anyways, he said to me, do you want to go inside the pyramid, don't you?
And I said, yes.
And I looked at it, and the card was a pass.
And I said, oh, he's selling passes.
And so I looked at him, and I had a good feeling about it.
And I said, how much?
And he said, nothing.
He said, come with me.
And we literally walked in, and as it turns out, he was one of the guards there.
He wasn't really a guide.
He was like a guard.
And he stopped everybody and let me go into the chambers I wanted to go into.
And I stayed in the King's Chamber for about an hour.
And then I came back out and I was really confused about it because in my mind I'm thinking
what a bill I'm going to get when I leave here. I thought the meter was running.
And then the strangest thing happened. He put his hand on my shoulder
and he said, I remember you when we built this. Oh.
And I had these chills up and down my spine and I left and so the next day I come back and I don't see him so I go over and I buy a ticket because I want to go back.
Sure.
So I go up inside and there he is.
And he says, come with me.
He says, where do you want to go?
And I said, I want to spend some time in the Queen's Chamber.
And once again he stopped and I spent about an hour there.
Gordon, they must have known who you were.
I don't think so.
I've had some very phenomenal experiences, not a lot of them. Losing my voice
was one of them. Having other kind of out of body experiences was... And I have to place
this with it because I had no intention to go to Egypt and I had a dream one night and
said tomorrow morning, book And in the dream, he gave me the flight number and everything.
Really?
So I called, I called my travel agent and I said, is there a flight?
And he said, yes, it is.
Do you want us to book it?
And I said, yeah.
And so I, you know, got my passport and I was gone.
Literally.
I mean, we literally left at 24 hours.
Well, Dr. Owas rules that area with an iron hand, and for somebody to do what they did for you would be just incredible.
I don't know.
There were lines.
When I came back down the Descendant Passageway, there were lines there waiting to get in.
I mean, they didn't close the pyramid for me by any means.
They just, whatever room I was into, he simply allowed me to be in that room.
But while I was in there, you know, all the imagery of the purpose of that structure.
Now they were, you know, current Egyptology says that they are tombs.
And as you know, it's anything that's other than a certain date that they have placed on it, and whom it was, there's no room.
I mean, there's no room for any form of mysticism or occultism at all with Egyptian authorities.
But in my particular case, when I was there, it was really clear what it was.
And the structure was built as a giant observatory.
Observatory.
All right.
Hold it right there, Gordon.
As a giant observatory.
Now, where have I heard that before?
Echoes of guests past.
A giant observatory.
Something with which to observe the stars.
Something to launch spirits.
Not a burial ground, indeed.
I'm Art Bell.
Well, my guest is Gordon Michael Scalion, and we're here early on New Year's Eve as the New Year races towards the
Atlantic coast.
Music AMA 40, KXNT
KXNT's Alan Stock here for the TV Guardian.
As a parent, you're no doubt concerned about... The sight of the sand, the smell, the touch, the scenting.
Inside that we need so much.
The sight of the touch, or the scent of the sand, or the strength of an earthquake that moves deep in the ground.
You might need the refineries to be covered and then to burst up through tarmac to the sun again.
Or to fly to the sun without July, the meadow, the hill, the grass, singing birds and silly things in a memory song for the eternal love of Mr. and Mrs. Jones!
Memories of old, from the years of old, to now and to the future.
If I can't ride my six-door, take it right, I'll have to get it in the morning.

This is Coast to Coast AM with Art Bell from the Kingdom of Nile.
Doing an all-night marathon, actually.
Beginning now through 3 AM Pacific Time.
It'll be an eight-hour program.
Three hours with Gordon Michael Scallion, who's here right now.
We'll get back to the pyramids.
Back to New Hampshire and Gordon Michael Scallion.
Back to New Hampshire and Gordon Michael Scallion.
Gordon, you said an observatory.

principle or a measurement, right down to a time capsule of prophecies for the future,
religious prophecies for the future, and the history of man.
And it carried itself from the time it was constructed all the way through to the year
1998, and that's where the timeline of the prophecies that are contained in there stop.
If it was originally a high technological device of some sort, as well as a spiritual
device of some sort or center of some sort.
Then that means there was a civilization that had evolved indeed past our present point.
Let's say that we went the electrical route here in this country.
Right.
If we had gone with one of the technologies that Nikola Tesla had conceived, then our
technology would have went in a different direction.
We would have achieved very similar things, just as we can use oil or we can use coal
or nuclear.
There are different ways of producing electricity.
So in this particular case, they went a different route technologically.
Let me just read you one paragraph from my book, which I think will answer that question.
Sure.
This is from page 260 in Notes from the Cosmos.
The question that I had asked my dream guide was, who built the Great Pyramid?
The response was Atlanteans in conjunction with Egyptians and Darians.
The Algerians were a group of people that occupied portions of Russia and China.
They had moved into that land somewhere around 12,600 years ago.
Egyptians were already there as a culture.
The Atlanteans began coming into that land because their own lands were being destroyed
slowly by earth changes.
So there had already been some migrations into Egypt.
One of their prime spiritual leaders actually left Atlantis, or Presidia specifically, which
was one of the islands.
He came to Egypt and acted as the engineer for the site.
His name was Hermes, and Ra was one of the Darians, and then there were The Egyptians.
So the combination of labor and engineering and technology came together to create this monument.
The monument took a little less than 100 years to construct.
My next question was, how does this machine work?
The machine's purpose as constructed was multiple in design.
Bending time was its focus.
Bending time?
so as to provide a process for initiation.
However, the manner in which this was accomplished provided other benefits for its people.
These varied from increased crop yield, weather control, a form of electrical power,
and a learning institute for the study of the heavens, astronomy, astrology and cosmic forces,
mathematics, chemistry, inter-world dimensions, and the seven levels of initiation.
All of these were part of its design.
So, it would be kind of like polymer in one sense.
Um, and...
And in doing that, these people were, if we were to look at them with our eyes today, they would almost seem to be blinking off and on.
In my visions when I've looked back at that time period, they're not as dense physically in matter.
They're somewhat lighter.
The Atlanteans that I see on that site look very similar to Native American Indians.
That's the only way I can describe them.
A little taller, perhaps, and lighter colored hair, kind of blue-gray eyes, and a little taller, but very similar feature-wise to Native Americans.
What destroyed Atlantis?
All right, you said earth changes.
I mean, did it virtually sink beneath the sea?
What happened?
They went through several levels of changes.
The time period of its sinking, from my dream voyages and my inner work, closely resembles what Plato says in his book, The Critias, where he talks about the sinking of Atlantis in a day.
What I did, I did a lot of work in trying to figure out exactly where it was.
Originally it was a very large land mass that kind of straddled the Americas on the west, Africa on the east, extending, you know, Easter Island, not Easter Island, but the Canaries, and then moving all the way up into where the Med would be.
That's a lot of land.
Yeah, so it was a very large land mass.
In fact, at one time, The lowlands of Atlantis were parts of the Florida Straits, parts of New England, parts of Virginia.
And then the Mississippi kind of divided the United States.
There was a large inland sea there at one time.
Then Atlantis went through several destructions.
The first two destructions were caused by the technology they were using.
This was some 30,000 years ago when they literally used the technology they had developed in such a way as it released or it ignited large gas pockets underneath the plate that supported the whole little continent.
And that blew it apart.
You know, Gordon, there are stories that Tesla himself actually caused earthquakes, was able to cause earthquakes.
Now, it's hard to separate myths from fact when you research Tesla, but it is said, and there are witnesses to the fact that he did that, and that's the same energy you're talking about, isn't it?
It is.
And he discovered the same key that That's right.
And he was a spindly man.
I was a student at the University of Michigan, and I was a student at the University of Michigan,
and I was a student at the University of Michigan, and I was a student at the University of Michigan,
and he constructed 80, 100, 120 ton structures by himself.
But he discovered that same secret, the same technology, and Tesla did too.
And I have no doubt that Tesla knew exactly how the energy system of the Earth worked.
And unfortunately, he didn't figure out how to put a meter on it to charge.
He saw it as a gift to humanity.
Westinghouse, who was backing him, needed some way of making it possible.
That's really where the division was.
That's where his technology stopped.
In other words, if we can't get a meter on it, we don't want it.
Right.
My sources tell me that technology has been rediscovered and it's been in use now for 30 or 40 years.
Again, Dr. Hawass, at the Pyramids, when you ask him about Atlantis, he goes, oh, baloney!
Who built the Pyramids?
Well, the Egyptians built the Pyramids, and he will demonstrate how that was done.
But then when you get to the point where you ask him, well then, Dr. Hawass, How did they actually build the pyramids?
And he just goes silent, and he goes, ah, but that is a great mystery, isn't it?
We have no idea how they did it.
Well, he is a politician.
Yes.
And I have had conversations with him, and he loves his country, and he loves what he does, and there is a very strong religious control over what he does.
But regardless of that, this is all going to be Coming out in the year 2000.
We're going to see short pieces of it, because the entrance that they found on the Sphinx, and when they showed it on television, all you saw was nothing.
Everything was removed.
It was part of a sarcophagus there.
That's right.
But there was nothing there.
Everything else had already been taken out.
So everything had been taken out.
I believe that too.
And what happens is that, that in itself is not going to change history too much, but there's corridors, and in my book I describe what happens when they enter it.
I said somewhere between 95 and 97 they'll enter under the Sphinx, and when they do get there, what they will discover is passageways.
And these passageways are crucial because the passageways lead to pyramids, other pyramids, buried deep in that plateau.
Below the ground?
Other pyramids?
Below the ground.
Several hundred feet below the ground.
And so while the Great Pyramid is this enigma, you know, I have a lot of technical background.
I know you do.
I look at things from an engineering point of view, and when you go in there and you look at it, I think even if you were a lay person, you would realize that it would be physically impossible for us to build that structure today.
It's just a physical impossibility.
It is.
The Japanese tried it.
I mean, some of the best have tried it.
They can't do it.
No, we know that.
That's true.
You said, you intrigued me, to bend time.
Toward what end?
Why were they doing that?
It was a time of a spiritual high.
Atlantis was being destroyed.
The last time it was destroyed, it was destroyed because the plate that supported the last remaining island, and that island would have been perhaps the size of, maybe twice the size of Texas.
And it was on kind of a shelf.
And there was an upheaval in the earth that caused it to be a huge sinkhole.
They saw this coming?
They knew it was coming.
They didn't know when.
But they knew it was coming.
And migrations had already started going out to other lands.
And Spain was one of the areas they went to.
The Yucatan was another area they went to.
The United States was another area they went to.
In Egypt was another area.
So slow migrations had started.
But the people who left were people who wanted to have a different lifestyle.
Atlantis had become very corrupt.
And there was two factions there.
There was those who were following a spiritual path and the other who were following a material world.
Not too much different than what we find today.
That's what I was about to say.
They wanted to construct this temple of initiation where individuals could come and, through training, learn how to develop their, what we would call today, our higher intuitive skills.
The device itself would enable communications with other worlds, not only Other physical worlds, such as in the Cirrus Sun System, or the Pleiades, but other worlds on the Earth.
And so an Initiate would be one who would have perfected these seven levels of consciousness.
So there were various schools of training, various temples of training, and then when
you were ready you would go with one of the priests and you would enter into this chamber.
The chamber was not in the king's chamber or the queen's chamber.
Those were the operating rooms where the controls were functions and the ascending and descending
passageways and the grand hall.
All of those were part of the machinery that was in there.
But beneath the great pyramid were the control rooms for the operators.
And when the machine functioned, and this would function at certain key times, as recorded
The Queen's Chamber has a, has a niche in the wall, which they have not been able to figure out what it's all about.
It's a, it's a, it's a, it's carved into the wall, uh, and, uh, it looks like it was sawed into it, um, but it's one of those enigmas, what was this for?
Mm-hmm.
What it was for was to indicate the times when communications was possible.
So, the machine, uh, was charged with a gas, And the gas would fill these chambers, the instrument in the Grand Hall would function and tune itself, and it would then connect somebody down below underneath the pyramid, and if you were able to achieve the right vibration, the right meditative state, you would be able to enter in this time stream, and in the time stream you would be able to know
who you really were, who you were in the past life, eclipses of the future.
So that was one mode of this.
There were several other modes that it was used for as well.
One of those was what Carl Jung called the collective consciousness, the universal mind.
Your impression though is that all of this was created by beings, I guess the word is
indigenous to earth without outside help or was there outside help?
The outside help that came, came before.
The technology which was being able to facet crystals in such a fashion and to focus it
in such a fashion and align it in such a way that it would create incredible amounts of
energy.
Now that was given to them some 35,000 years ago by visitors who came from the Pleiades.
So this reads like a UFO science fiction novel, but I just pass the information through as
I receive it and in time eventually we will lead to whether there is any fact to this.
But many of the things that I received from those sessions have proven out so far.
As more and more discoveries are coming to the surface, we begin to see it, you know.
So then are you suggesting, apparently, that what they either have already found and haven't told us about, or will find shortly, will be these control rooms?
I don't believe they're into the control rooms yet.
I believe where they are, however, is into the chambers of science and mathematics and history.
I believe they have gained access to those.
So in those hallways, those hallways lead to these archives.
It's no different than what we're doing right now.
We're burying time capsules all over the planet.
Yes, we are.
And so imagine a civilization that is advanced, knows that there's great changes coming to the world,
and that because they are a spiritually based people, they want to leave something that's going to survive
thousands of years so that the people who come later, if they're intelligent enough to understand
and read the messages, can gain from it.
And so the construction was designed for that.
And in these rooms, they put the history of their world, where they came from, archeological items,
various placemats, if you will, showing kind of recipes.
Um...
These are in forms of tablets.
I counted 32 in one room.
Kind of look like a gold foil with an emerald cast to it.
And they're all in symbolic form, like hieroglyphs.
And so you've got these.
They've got some of the tools.
They've got the plans for how they built the device.
And then they also lead to where you can find other things.
So it's kind of like, once you get into these halls, You start getting clues to the puzzle, and then you can then go to the next stage and find some more.
They nevertheless, however, didn't make it.
I mean, they essentially became extinct, despite the spiritual and high technological level they had achieved with all their power, Tesla technology, and all the rest of it.
They're not around.
So when we get back, I want to ask Gordon Whether there's information, which many people believe, in these centers and in this library of knowledge yet to be uncovered, we think yet to be uncovered, that would tell us how to save ourselves.
How can we save ourselves if they were unable to save themselves?

CBS News.
I'm Dan Levine.
Live in Times Square, New York.
One hour to go.
Y2K means year 2000.
So far, no major Y2K problems.
The new year begins here and all over the East Coast in 60 minutes.
And an estimated million and a half people are here in Times Square to cheer the moment.
As a matter of fact, CBS News correspondent Lou Migliano, they've been cheering all day, right?
Ah, wigs of tinsel, a sea of colorful bouncing balloons as yet another cheering countdown and another exploding cheer for the arrival of the New Year this time, including the Caribbean Islands.
The latest of hourly warm-ups for the Times Square climax.
Coming less than an hour from now, the glittering ball drop and an incredible fireworks display.
For this, the party of the century.
Now let's go to the mall in Washington and CBS News correspondent Peter Mayer.
And with less than an hour until 2000, a huge crowd has packed the mall.
First Lady Hillary Clinton pointed to the statue of Abraham Lincoln and said, this crowd is celebrating on sacred ground.
Under Mr. Lincoln's gaze, we each stand taller and we all reach higher.
The President will speak in less than an hour just before a spectacular fireworks display at midnight.
2000 well underway in London.
...on the Thames was spectacular.
The sky lit up with colors, starbursts, spirals, and flares.
The tens of thousands marveled at the sight.
And, of course, warm embraces and an overriding feeling of optimism pervaded the atmosphere.
Dan?
That's Tom Rivers in London Times Square.
It's felt like part of the world all day.
Right now, the 18th of 24, time zone celebrations.
Every hour, performers on stage.
Now marking the start of 2000 in Puerto Rico, Bermuda, and other places just east of Eastern Time.
At the Vatican, Pope John Paul prayed with 130,000 young people in St.
Peter's Square, asking God for a millennium filled with joy and peace.
In Bethlehem, birthplace of Jesus, 2,000 doves of peace took wing as fireworks lit the sky over the Church of the Nativity.
In Russia, acting President Vladimir Putin took the reins of power from Boris Yeltsin after his surprise resignation.
And good news, no computer glitch caused anything weird to happen to Russia's nuclear reactors and intercontinental missiles.
Here in Times Square, New York, I asked one woman from Columbus, Ohio, why everyone in the big crowd seems so friendly.
Because no one's from New York today around here.
That's what the cop told us.
I said it was a good-natured crowd.
He said it's because there are no New Yorkers here to ruin it.
Well, there are plenty of New Yorkers live from Times Square.
This is CBS News.
I'm talking to a real-life GEICO auto insurance customer, Jackie Gelman.
Russia's welcoming in the new year with a fireworks display and some concerns about the future.
Vladimir Putin's the new man running Russia now that Boris Yeltsin has stepped down as president.
CBS News reporter Bill Gasparini says Putin has already appeared in public pinning medals on Russian veterans of the fighting in Chechnya.
This is a way for Putin to show that he's a man of action, paying homage to the soldiers who are serving in Chechnya, a war which many would say is the vehicle which has propelled Putin into the position he's in.
His hardline stand against Chechen fighters who are accused of terrorism has won him widespread support in Russia.
Bill Gasperini in Moscow.
Sounds like some people in Asia were actually hoping there would be Y2K problems.
They went to automatic teller machines today to see if maybe a computer glitch had put money into their bank accounts.
No such luck as far as we know.
Everything seems to be working normally.

This is Ghost to Ghost AM with Art Bell on the Premier Radio Network.
Millennium is now racing across the final stretch of the cold waters of the Atlantic.
Toward the East Coast, where millions, literally, up and down the coast are gathered, Times Square filled with hundreds of thousands waiting for the New Year.
My guest is Gordon Michael Scallion.
At the moment, we're discussing Egypt.
Well, that's not entirely true.
We're discussing what was on the Earth before the Earth was as we know it now.
That's what we're really talking about, but there's some pretty interesting stuff occurring in Egypt.
We'll get right back to it.
This is a special announcement.
The Sea Crane Company is open right now, tonight, New Year's Eve.

All right, back now to Gordon Michael Scallion, one of our nation's greatest intuitives.
He's been kind of a friend for years now and on this program tonight when he could have been elsewhere on networks and who knows where.
Gordon, the obvious question that I trailed with as we left the hour was, Somehow or another they did not save themselves despite this great technology, this spiritual level they had apparently achieved.
They're gone.
They are.
They are gone.
They did have a millennium of use of that technology and of that temple site that they had built there.
And then there was a great cataclysm when the last remaining portions of Atlantis sank.
And they created yet another flood for the world.
So, in that time period, their culture did reach high levels.
They did populate the world and moved people around the world, which then generated, like, sub-races of people, if you will.
And it's not too much different.
If we look at what we know scientifically, archaeologically, We can look at Greece, you know.
So in a way, they survive.
Rome.
Everybody goes through this point.
I mean, our nation is a relatively really young nation.
And looking at television tonight, the satellite coverage around the world, you know, even with my technological background, I'm in awe of it.
It's amazing.
It was like, you know, seeing this interconnectedness that's possible.
It shows our potential.
But even knowing all of that, There will be another cycle.
Everything has a cycle.
And it's a natural, rhythmic cycle of the Earth.
Yes.
Here's where I want to ask you a big question.
You know, the weather changes on Earth right now, Gordon.
Are obvious.
Obvious to almost everybody.
The Arctic has lost 40% of the ice depth.
The Antarctic has ice fields falling off.
The glaciers are melting.
The signs are everywhere.
And the weather, I mean, the storms that just hit Europe, for example.
Unbelievable storms.
What would have been Category 4 hurricanes, it should It is part of it.
time of year in the winter in Europe and yet they slammed into Europe with horrid destruction
and our own storms, our hurricanes, our tornadoes, they're all getting bigger and more frequent
and is that a part of this cycle?
It is part of it.
It's according to the American Red Cross, this is the 1999 was the most destructive
year in recorded history.
We had more natural disasters affecting more places on the planet than ever before and
so you know.
The Red Cross is one of those organizations that I support wholeheartedly.
In fact, the royalties from my book, Built in the Cosmos, are donated to organizations like the Red Cross.
They've had a lot of work lately.
We've got the unbelievable floods that just occurred.
Venezuela.
Yeah, and we have a count of 20,000 to 30,000 souls.
And then if we look back shortly after the time of the eclipse, we see the turkey quake and cyclones and then the floods we had in North Carolina and even in your state.
One of the things that I said last time I was on your show is that We would see water in Nevada.
You have those conditions in North Carolina.
We're seeing all of this.
Of course, if you look at what the media would tend to say, it wasn't El Nino and then it wasn't La Nina.
I know.
It just doesn't explain.
No.
But what does explain it is something that both you and I know, as ham radio operators, is this thing called SunSpot.
In fact, there is an aurora tonight, at least I've been able to see it from New England, where I am here.
You're seeing it in New England?
Yeah, it's not a very big one, but I was listening earlier on two meters, And I can hear that very familiar sound, that Russian white noise sound.
Sure.
And I said, oh, there's an aurora someplace.
So we had, you know, somewhere we had something in the solar wind, a flare, something happened.
Maybe not a big one.
This wasn't a very, you know, well-developed one.
But the key thing is that the cause of this, and this ties into the pyramids in Egypt as well, as well as Earth changes, The sun is the crucial instrument for all of this.
When I was on your show in February, we were talking about sunspots.
One of the things that I had said on that show was that this year we will see numbers that might hit 300, 400 or 500.
Not 150 or 200 as we recently experienced.
And as you know, we've been tracking sunspots for 400 years.
Yes.
And the highest number never reached 200.
And all of a sudden, bingo in June, it hits 340.
It did indeed.
And then again in November.
It punched over the 340 mark again.
And it's still climbing.
And we're not yet at the peak.
In other words, as the sun turns, we keep coming into it again and again, and it will happen again shortly.
They're talking about the month of January.
And we should get a real whopper.
There's no question about it.
But even at your latitude tonight, you're getting a slight aurora.
Yep.
Wow.
A very slight one.
It isn't a well-pronounced multiple color band, but the blues are there at least.
So I would say it's a very, very small one.
Well, surprisingly, even shockingly, I don't know if you caught this story the other day, but the chief U.S.
meteorological person and the chief in the United Kingdom both sent out an unprecedented joint statement saying climate change has now entered a rapid stage.
It's changing rapidly.
That's amazing for them to say.
It is, and utility companies now, when you get your bills, have little notes with them saying that due to this current sunspot cycle 23, that there may be outages.
And they go on to even tell you why.
The last time we had the cycle, the numbers weren't very high, but the grid network wasn't as interconnected as it is now.
And so we're very vulnerable now.
We have a lot of wire out there strung up like a huge antenna.
And so it's the sun going through A much larger cycle than its 22-year cycle, or what is known as the 11-year Sunspot cycle.
More cycles within cycles.
Exactly.
And in the Great Pyramid, they left that there as a marker to let people know for themselves.
And let them know when there was going to be changes in their land, so they knew it was coming.
And they also wanted to let future generations know when it would happen again.
So they knew the cycle was about 12,000 years.
About every 12,000 years, there is an alteration of the Earth's magnetic field at some level.
Sometimes it's a complete flip, sometimes it's very small, sometimes it doesn't occur.
But generally triggered by or precipitated by the Sun?
That is my belief.
There is currently no scientific evidence The only thing that we know scientifically is that when the Earth's magnetic field begins to collapse, which for the past 50 years has been, and when it gets to that point, it's at that point where it snaps and the magnetic field adjusts itself.
It's like the Earth is like a spinning gyroscope and it wants to remain stable.
The Star Trek equivalent of shields down.
Yeah, yeah.
But in that pyramid, if you look out, there's an ascending passageway and a descending passageway.
And those passageways were used to calibrate, if you will, the pyramid.
It would line up on a specific star And therefore, once they have an alignment, they could then plot, they can finish building the device.
So the first thing they do is they dig this long passageway into the limestone surface, going down hundreds of feet, so it's almost like a telescope.
And then they can sight exactly.
And then once they have that, they can continue building the structure.
But they also knew that by studying a fixed star, that they could tell if there was going
to be a variation in the Earth's orbit.
So they could tell very accurately when changes would come about.
And so they left that there.
And the actual angle of it is very important.
Another mystery of the pyramid was why do they build these ascending and descending passageways with the same angle.
It's a 26 degree angle.
And the reason that I believe it is, is because it indicates the offset of the Earth's axis.
The Earth currently has an axis of 23.5 degrees, and that varies throughout time.
But if it ever reaches 26 degrees, that's the critical point.
That's the point when we would see... A sudden flip?
Yeah.
A lot of people don't comprehend what that sudden flip might mean.
What might it mean?
There's several levels.
One is that the magnetic field itself of the Earth could shift, could change.
So where your compass was pointing north, for example, it might point to a slightly different direction.
And this could be a matter of a few degrees.
It could be 90 degrees.
It could be 180 degrees.
There's a lot of variables.
In our civilization, the variables are our technology, our global warming, all of that adds to the conditions.
I mean, right now we've got, as you stated, a massive melt-off.
It's unbelievable!
That is not caused by global warming.
It's just not even physically possible.
Even if you study the satellite photos, you see that the melt-off is coming Beneath it, not above it.
So, I believe what's happened is that the Earth's core itself has shifted its position relative to the mantle of the Earth.
Well, now you're right about that because they said the thickness of the ice at the Arctic is 40% less than two decades ago.
Now, that's incredible.
That's an incredible amount of fresh water suddenly going into the Arctic Ocean.
That's just an incredible amount.
And that should continue to increase until the Earth stabilizes itself again.
And the stability would be that, just like a gyroscope, it finds a new balancing point.
Once it finds that balancing point, it's okay.
So, is it the end of the world?
I don't think so.
But I do believe that the weather patterns that we have seen This year, which are off the charts, will continue next year and more so.
We've got a phenomena coming up here, which I'm sure you must have talked about on your show at one time, which is this planetary alignment that's coming up this spring.
May 5, 2000.
The alignment begins to take hold somewhere around March, we start to see some of the effects.
By April, it's swinging pretty close.
When we get it to May, we're sitting there with a grouping of planets.
We've got Saturn, Jupiter, Venus, Mercury, Mars on one side of the Sun, and then on the other side of the Sun, we've got the Earth and Pluto.
And so, all of those planets will affect Not necessarily the Earth directly, but I believe it will affect the Sun.
So as we're hitting this solar cycle 23 peak, where the Sun is really starting to go ballistic as part of its natural cycle, now you've got all these planets lining up.
You know, adding their own energies.
Boy, you know, I was about to jump on you and say, come on, the gravitational effect, even in that sort of alignment, could not affect Earth.
But I have heard so many people speak on angular momentum and the effect of the planets on the Sun, that that really resonates.
And this is what I believe will happen is that we will see starspot count that will
be 500 and up.
We are going to see major flares and those are the things that couple to the Earth.
Boy, six meters is going to be great.
Yeah.
And the auroras, of course, will be...
And if just one of these flares happens to go off when it's facing the Earth...
Actually, we had a narrow escape from one not long ago.
Yes, that's true.
For a very short little time, they thought it was headed at Earth, and it scared the hell out of them.
Actually, it was headed in the precise opposite direction.
But they said, had it been headed toward us, there would have been quite a surprise for Earth.
They were prepared to turn the satellites around and shield them.
A lot of those birds that are up there are older technology.
You remember when the cell phones all went down?
Oh yes!
Well, next year we're going to see that.
We're going to see that kind of communications drop off from the sun.
Even the cell phones, huh?
Well, most of those, you know, we're moving into a wireless society now.
And we're moving towards satellite-delivered communications.
This will be the, from the business point of view, will be the trend.
And even consumers.
If you go over to Europe, You know, everybody has a cell phone.
Oh, sure.
I know.
We're going to see more and more of those being delivered by satellite.
So, in other words, even the shielded satellites, if it's a big enough EMP, big enough flare or coronal mass ejection, even the shielded satellites might go down.
There's no doubt in my mind that they will go down.
All right.
The question is, how many?
How many?
Well, it won't take that many.
As you point out, we lost one, and nationwide, all the credit card machines wouldn't work and a lot of other things.

Well, I guess what I should be asking here is, we can all see the signs with regard to the weather.
There's hardly any argument left among the average person about the weather changes we're now undergoing.
And we know what's coming pretty much with the sun, although not to the scale described by Gordon.
But if this occurs, and if there is a shift, Anywhere from 90 to 180 degrees.
Most people want to know what that really is going to mean for us.
It may be much less than that.
It may be a matter of a series of... I've seen a series of 7 to 8 degree shifts.
Oh, so have I. But it wouldn't matter, even if you had a couple of degrees.
Well, what I've seen, what I've noted on the show, Gordon, is kind of a drift.
It'll drift seven degrees or so, and then it'll come back.
And that's been going on in the last couple of years.
Yeah, in my future map of the world, I said things to look for, that we would have these magnetic shifts of about seven to eight degrees, and there would be a series of three of these things that would occur.
What that means is that, should that occur, should we have a major or significant shift?
There's two kinds of shift.
One is a magnetic shift, where the pole shifts.
And we have lots of scientific evidence that that's occurred hundreds, if not thousands of times in the past.
We know that through core samples that they've drilled deep in the earth, studying magnetites, and they can tell the direction of the magnetic field.
So they know it has shifted.
We have no evidence whatsoever that the Earth itself has tumbled in space, which would be a geophysical shift, where the whole Earth itself kind of shifts over.
So, my information is kind of focused on the magnetic shifts being triggered by solar activity.
That's been a constant in my information.
What it means is that we would immediately change weather patterns in a matter of hours.
We could see a shifting of seasons, for example.
It could be that severe.
Well, how else do they account for the woolly mammoths with the green things in their mouths and bellies that they have found in the ice?
I mean, how else could you account for that?
Well, it depends on what scientific group is studying it.
There is no consensus whatsoever.
It's one of those enigmas like the Great Pyramid.
But, you know, you do know one thing.
One of the things they do know is they know when it happened.
I mean, first it was, well, the last ice age was at this date, you know, plus or minus 2,000 or 3,000 years.
Now, then they got it down to, well, it happened within a couple of years.
Now they're at the point where they know exactly, almost to the week, when those mammoths died.
And they knew that because the buttercups, the things they were feeding on at that time,
they knew when they would be in bloom.
So by studying the seeds, they were able to tell the month it would be in.
They were able to tell several things by studying many of them.
And from that study, they know that snow piled up so extensively that they just kept walking
on top of each other and stacking them up like cordwood.
And so something happened 12,000 years ago, 11,500 years ago, that changed weather patterns
to shift instantly.
I believe that what happened is that when the plate that was supporting Atlantis let go, it entirely disrupted the magnetic field And also the jet stream, or the Gulf Stream.
The Gulf Stream at that time would have went to the east and around Atlantis and up the African coast.
So immediately you changed the ocean currents, you changed the magnetic fields, and so you are now changing the weather and it just sucked in all the cold air from the Arctic.
It just drove it in and created a whole new ecosystem.
It has stabilized itself, and it's been that way ever since.
Well, except that it's not all that stable right now.
And as you look at the current signs that we know about and can document, what's your feeling with regard to where we are?
I mean, here we are moving along with all these signs we all can see.
Where are we with respect to the shift?
Well, the window that I published It's a good question.
and wrote about it extensively in my book was that there would be two time periods where
we really had to watch out for the triggers. A visionary or a futurist can see things very
clearly but to put a date on things becomes very difficult for any intuitive. You have
to either have a dream where you actually see a newspaper that gives you a date or you
have to study the signs that you are seeing.
You know, is it spring?
Is it summer?
Is there snow on the ground?
Can you see life in place?
You know, you have to look for things that give you a clue.
Sure.
The clue that I had was that between 98 and 2002, the four-year time period, it would be a high-stress area where we would see major weather changes.
I mean, it would just be off the stop the chart.
We're halfway through that cycle.
Then in 2000 and 2001, those two years, were the times where I saw the sun flaring up unbelievably.
And so that's like the first phase of it, but I see it continuing on in a lesser or
even a more advanced level all the way to the year 2012.
But the next two years are the crucial years.
This year, 2000 and 2001.
And since the sunspot cycle is peaking in 2000, since we have these alignments in 2000,
you know, there's enough logical things that we can look at, scientific things we know
are going on, to say these could be the trigger.
Sometimes triggers for events delay things.
Like we had the eclipse in August.
And I had said that wherever the eclipse passes through the Balkans, through Turkey, through
these areas, we're going to see earth changes.
And a week later, Turkey was hit.
Really hard, yes.
Oh, by the way, Gordon, I meant to mention, it went largely unnoticed.
Well, no, it didn't.
It was in the news.
There was a 7.0 earthquake very, very close to me, Gordon.
It shook the you-know-what out of us here.
I mean, it really scared us.
That was a big earthquake here in Perot, Nevada.
It was just out a little bit in the desert.
It scared me, but good.
One of the things I had said for 99 was that we would have to see a quake greater than 7 in South America.
Now there was a quake in Central America, in Mexico, and then very shortly thereafter that quake hit you.
But I'm seeing more weather-related changes than I'm seeing, and volcanic changes.
I think next year is going to be the year of the volcano.
Oh.
So I think we're going to see...
Volcanoes coming alive, especially after the spring, you know, as we get into the summer months.
I think we're going to see a lot of volcanic activity, especially between the topic of cancer and Capricorn.
There's a 60-degree belt there, 30 degrees above and below the equator.
I think we're going to see a lot of thermal emissions coming out of the ocean.
And of course, most of the Volcanoes are under the in the ocean so then to some degree
Gordon have you changed your mind?
You had a very strong vision of a series of earthquakes around the ring of fire
And I recall you said that if we had a series which damn near completed you about got it
Yeah.
It had to be four of them.
Four of them, yeah.
It was like a 12-part prediction.
And people say, well, you know, it never happened.
Well, most of it happened, actually.
11 of the 12 happened, but the 12th one did not happen.
It happened, but the yield was much less.
There was a scenario that was active during 97-98 and that scenario probably
still is active. I have not seen it recently but it says that if there is a quake in the Indian Ocean that is
greater than 7, then that triggers through the internal mechanism of the earth quakes that would
Yes, I followed her around.
then South America, then the West Coast of the United States.
Do you now think that scenario is less likely?
No, I think that scenario is still valid.
I don't know when, but the pattern happened three times.
I saw it, yes, I followed it around.
You watch it go bing, bing, bing, and then the last of it just kind of fizzled out, which
is a good thing.
I think it's still active, but the things that I'm seeing now seem to be much more powerful
visions than earthquakes.
And it deals with massive amounts of water moving around and fire, volcanoes.
So fire and water is what I see for 2000.
Boy, I hate to say this, but what you're saying now coincides with what a lot of other intuitives have said, particularly about the sun and about the current weather changes.
As you get closer to an event, you can get a room full of intuitives and you can talk about it and they may unanimously agree on a particular event.
Then when you start to look for the dates of that event, it can vary.
I don't know.
months, weeks, years, decades. But as you get closer to an event, it seems like the
psychic strength of the event gets stronger and more people begin to see it. So somebody
might see something 20 years out, a visionary like H.G.
Wells or somebody, sees something and everybody else says, you know, you are crazy. And then
all of a sudden as you get closer to that event, other people start getting the same
idea. So it depends on the training of the intuitive of how far off they can see that event.
Well, that's an interesting possible close in future for us.
The next question everybody asks is, so what do I do if I think this scenario is one that will play out?
Do I protect myself?
Do I go out and say, Whatever happens, happens.
Take me Lord.
Do you leave it to everybody's gut feeling?
What do you do?
Probably nobody has had as much feedback on this type of work as I have and seen as much as I've seen.
This is my 20th year in December.
In fact, as of yesterday it was 20 years since I received my first image.
So I played these out, and when I did, I finally went through phases myself.
The first phase was not to tell anybody anything.
Sure.
Total denial.
The next phase was that you start having dreams and nightmares, and so you say, well, I'll tell some of my closest friends, and then you do that, and they react.
In that case, not positively, but you withdraw again, and then the dreams and nightmares will continue.
I don't think so.
all of a sudden before you know it the information is out there.
Now for myself what I have done is I said I believe that there is no way to totally
protect yourself from anything.
I mean you can be in a city like New York City tonight celebrating and you can be in
a crowd and having a great time and somebody who just like attacked Harrison.
You just don't know what can happen.
Here he was with giant fences and 24 hour day guards and all the rest of it and it happened anyway.
The most important thing though is that if you get locked into fear then you're a goner because fear will take over and you're no longer able to take advantage of your God-given abilities of intuition.
Intuition is not something that you have to train for 10 years and do yoga, it's something that you
have and you just have to learn how to wake it up and then learn how to trust it.
But there are certain things that I believe, at least what I did for my family, I did the
first thing I said, well what if we, just like Y2K, I have a preparedness kit.
I have one in my car, I have one in our home, we are moving towards a total off the grid
as I understand you are now, if you haven't.
Yes, I am.
So we're moving towards that point.
And then having done that, I forget about it.
I just don't deal with it anymore.
I've done what I can do.
And then what I do is I make sure I spend my time trying to be centered and listening There are little urges inside that say, you know, don't do this or do this.
And sometimes it just says, don't do anything now.
That's the hardest part, you know, listening to the fact of do nothing, wait for the next cycle to come along, you know, for your next guidance.
So, you know, the final clue is that you have to really go deep within and you have to learn to trust what you're getting.
And if you're following that and you're following your path, Whatever you need, financially, health-wise, it will be provided.
Is your guidance about these events becoming more or less urgent than it was, say, a year or two years ago?
I would say that when I looked at it back two years ago, it was almost as if it was reading a story that somebody had written.
I'm reading it and I'm saying, Oh, that's kind of interesting, you know, a little scary, but interesting.
And now I look at it and I say, you know, I see the physical ramifications of what I said 10 years ago or 20 years ago.
I see the weather, the deviations of the magnetic field.
You know, I see all these things occurring.
So when they start happening like that, you know, the indications are that this window, The next 24-month window is going to be very critical.
I'm hopeful that we'll just pass through it and the flares will not be enough to trigger it, and we'll just move on.
Do you assign odds to something like this?
In other words, it does look like there are a lot of negative signs with regard to the next 24 months.
How negative?
What chance of passing through it unscathed?
50-50, you think?
Or what?
Oh, you know, I don't think anything is 100%, you know, but I would have to say that in the next two years we're going to see, you know, things that will change the maps of the world, and I would have to say it's 90%.
90%?
Okay, there are... That does not mean that it's the end of civilization.
It just means that we're going to see massive, you know, changes on the Earth, magnetically, weather-wise.
Because when I look to the future, I see people and civilizations, and people look a little differently, and the technology looks differently, but I see them.
I see communities, and so I know that we get through this time period.
Man continues.
Yes.
Alright, as he probably always has in one form or another.
Alright, we'll break it right here.
My guest is Gordon Michael Scallion, and I'm very honored to have him here this night.
And I'm very honored to have my wife here, who's in a strange-looking hat right now, of some sort.
She'll bend down for the camera.
And, oh, it's a 2000 hat.
Really nice.
Happy New Year.
East Coast, here it comes.
Happy New Year, everybody.
It's coming in about two minutes and 50 seconds.
never a report
kids and kids the
century and most would say happy new millennium Fireworks go off over Times Square, New York.
Packed in behind metal barriers, the crowd goes wild.
Unaware, the police just reported arresting one man nearby with a loaded unlicensed rifle, but no other trouble reported.
Our live coverage continues with CBS News correspondent Lou Miliano barely able to hear all that with all their shouting, hugging, and kissing.
What an absolutely incredible display.
A thrilling outpouring of emotion.
Every imaginable response to the climax of the party of the century.
An explosion of tears as that huge, descending, sparkling crystal ball emblazoned the brilliant 2000.
Confetti cannons are creating a blizzard of color.
Showering the hugs and the kisses and the tears down here on the street.
And over all of this, a spectacular fireworks display turning night into day with all of the hourly Time Zone dancers and huge puppets and pageantry returning now with this crowd going absolutely wild.
With more now, back to Dan Raviv.
That's Lou Maliano live here in Times Square.
And where did President Clinton speak?
At the giant Washington DC celebration on the Mall where CBS News White House Correspondent Peter Mayer is standing by.
Peter?
This is the crowning moment of the national New Year's celebration here on the Washington Mall.
President Clinton has just ignited a symbolic fuse that is turning the Washington Monument into a huge Roman candle.
Hundreds of small rocket-shaped sparklers are cascading, sending a fountain of fireworks off the sides of the towering monument.
It's called the midnight moment here as the memories of 1999 flow into the hopes for 2000 and beyond.
Reporting live, I'm Peter Mayer, CBS News, with the President at the Lincoln Memorial.
What about computer glitches?
Here's CBS News correspondent Barry Bagnato at the Y2K Center here in Washington.
Barry?
...and billions of dollars spent.
Officials here are surprised, pleasantly surprised, that no significant Y2K problems have been reported anywhere in the world.
Power and communication systems... ...of Olathe, say two women there walk into a bank and took hostages.
Six have now been released safely.
Police Lieutenant Joe Pruitt can't say yet if more are still inside.
We have two suspects inside the bank.
The number of hostages is undetermined yet.
The area is cordoned off.
Our hostage negotiators and the FBI are in contact with these people.
Police were tipped of the hostage taking by a frantic phone call from inside the bank.
He may be best remembered as the Attorney General who defied Richard Nixon over the Watergate investigation.
Elliot Richardson has died at age 70.
In 1973, Richardson refused Nixon's order to fire Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox.
Another look at our top story.
The crowd's going wild in New York's Times Square, where more than one million people from all around the world have gathered to say so long to 1999 and hello to a new year and a new millennium.
For now, that famous square is the center of the universe.
I'm Sam Litzinger, CBS News.
Feeling wrapped up.
Good morning.
The new millennium is on our shores.
Are you watching New York?
Incredible.
Only in America does the giant sign come down, the giant ball, the tetrahedron of the ball.
And as the new year, as the new millennium touches America, the tetrahedron touches the Discover card sign.
Reach our goal in the kingdom of Nye.

This is Coast to Coast AM with Art Bell on the Premier Radio Network.
That's who we are. Welcome to the new millennium on the East Coast and they're showing on the various networks all
the cities up and down the East Coast celebrating.
It's absolutely spectacular, but as I said, it's in a slightly cynical way.
As you look at Times Square, the giant ball with all these rotating tetrahedron things comes down and nearly banged into the discover card sign.
But maybe for us, maybe for us here in the West, that's just about the way it ought to be, huh?
Anyway, it looks like everybody's having a lot of fun and it looks safe so far.
Cross your fingers, knock on wood, it's still early.
But the new millennium is now on our shores, folks.
And it's headed toward us here in the West.
At the speed of the sun.
Anyway, we'll be right back.

And now the CEO for buyitnow.com.
Hello, we're so glad...
All right, as you well know, because I've explained it to you over a period of time,
I've started to take some pretty serious alternative energy steps.
Traditional alternative energy.
I have a lot of solar panels up and wind generators and that sort of thing.
We're facing an interesting situation in the very near future.
The next 40 years, the next two years aside, the next 40 years will see us run out of oil.
So we've got to begin to move toward alternative energy in a really big way.
I'm doing what I can right now, but that's all that's out there to be done at the moment.
Gordon, what's coming in the world of alternative energy?
A lot of the technology that's in the military right now, the black ops, that technology will find its way into the world.
I don't see it happening in short term, but I see it coming, you know, definitely in this coming decade.
It's possible that somewhere around the next five years, it could be sooner, we're going to see it.
And the technology that I talked about when I was first on your show years ago was that I saw the fuel cells as the next instrument that would come out by the turn of the century.
The kind of fuel cells that we hear NASA talk about in the shuttles?
Right.
And now they're delivering.
I'm on the list for one myself.
I expect to have it here shortly.
What are the claims?
What will it do?
There's several companies.
PowerPlug is one of the largest ones.
They're in there.
And basically, it's large.
It's the size of perhaps twice the size of a refrigerator currently.
And basically what it will do is it will produce up to 10 kilowatts of power using, it's a hydrogen based system.
So you know they put a, they have a container that they load you up with and you have your own little power plant.
Now the next evolution of this is They will have a heat reclaimer, so it not only will give you power, but it will also give you heating and cooling.
Why not?
Otherwise it goes to waste.
So by the time, you know, they roll out the first units, and they're claiming delivery in 2000, by the time they roll that out, engineering is already pretty much along the way for the second evolution, which will be half the size of the units.
So fuel cells And that technology, you can transfer it to cars.
As long as gasoline, as long as oil is cheap, as long as it's cheap, and here in the States, you know, it's really cheap.
If you go to Europe, it's a whole different ballgame.
But as long as it's cheap, the internal combustion engine will continue.
We'll make it more efficient, we'll reduce some of the pollutes from it, we'll accomplish all of those things.
will make vehicles lighter Therefore will increase the miles per gallon
But soon as oil changes soon as something upsets the oil Pipeline that's when you start to see
alternative technologies coming forward That's also when you see conflict
Yeah that In other words, are there wars in our future?
Are they going to be over oil, water?
What will we fight about if we fight, or will it all stop?
As an idealist, I would wish that this new millennium would mean that we would never have another war.
We would never have another terrorist.
We wouldn't see shootings in the schools of our children, my children.
However, I know that the speed that the planet is running right now is going faster and faster.
We're heading for some place in destiny where there will be great changes.
Wars have been part of our lifestyle forever.
In the future, however, if I look past the year 2012, I don't see that.
I see a time period where there isn't this kind of wars.
But I do... I still see a war... There's a screen of that war and it's still there and it doesn't go away.
You know, it starts off in Turkey and goes to the Middle East.
I don't know when.
I just see it as one of those middle screens which means that it hasn't gone away.
But that could disrupt oil.
But the next technology that will come After the fuel cell will be magnetic in nature.
Magnetically, devices that are magnetically driven, but they're induced by an energy system contained within the Earth.
It's like riding on the Earth's magnetic field, if you will.
Right, right.
And so, since the magnetic field is all over the Earth, it's a simple matter of riding it And coupling to that energy.
Okay, well that begins to move toward what we began with tonight, Tesla technology.
Yes.
Uh-huh.
And I believe it is the same thing.
I believe it's this standing wave technology that he was referring to that's always present and it's there.
It's a whole different system.
I mean, you know, if you watch lightning storms and you see what really happens in this New and incredible photography, this high-speed photography.
You watch this bolt from the Earth go up to the cloud, and then a strike coming back down.
That's correct.
And so, you know, there's a potential difference between the cloud and the Earth, but the Earth itself, as Tesla found out, is full of electricity.
It's totally, I mean, we think of it as ground Earth, but it's really, relative to the atmosphere, it's highly charged.
And we will use that technology, that magnetic field technology, to power devices in the future.
Before the decade is out, that technology will be in place.
And it could come earlier.
Crises seem to bring on technology faster.
Yes, it does.
We are in the longest sustained economic boom In our nation's history, we have never seen anything like it.
People refer to it as now the endless economic boom.
And is it really endless?
It certainly does seem that way, doesn't it?
Right now, here it is.
It's January 1st in the East Coast.
It's a new year.
And which means that half of the people who predicted that the market was going to go down were wrong.
No, no.
The market ended up at a record high.
The Nasdaq crested $4,000.
I mean, it's just crackers out there.
Right.
That's what I'm saying.
The people who said that it was going to go down, you know, went down.
The market went up.
And I was one of those who felt that the market would do a correction near the end of the year.
But it didn't.
It didn't.
And it's defying things.
But if you follow any cycle, I mean, there will be a correction.
What's driving the market, which is becoming an international thing, of course, is the technology stocks.
And, you know, you've got a few stocks that are heavily weighted, you know, the Qualcomm's and the Microsoft's.
I mean, you've got these few stocks here who are moving so fast, and yet there's nothing solid.
I mean, if you ask, if they had to liquidate, The value is not there.
It's so overinflated.
It's all based on potential.
But I see the technical market continuing to race ahead.
I do see the Fed stepping in next year a couple of times.
So, in other words, the interest rates probably will bump a couple of times.
I think a couple of times before we even get to the summer.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Trying to cool it down.
Yeah.
And I still see this correction.
I still see it there.
Don't know when it's going to happen, but it's...
I still feel there's going to be a correction.
Everybody has always asked about the market, and so when we're at 2001, which a lot of purists suggest is the real new millennium, although they've lost that battle, what do you think the market will be like there?
It is entirely possible that next year, even with a correction, that we could see a jump $3,000, $4,000, $5,000 on the dial, for example.
Wow!
We could see that kind of a jump.
Holy smokes!
Yeah, I think we're going to... You know, the NASDAQ is the one to really watch.
That's the one that's kind of pulling everything else along.
Now, if there's a... You know, a lot of people didn't pull out of the market or take their profits yesterday because of factories.
You know, the market was high.
Y2K wasn't looking like it was going to be a big thing, which you and I both said it wouldn't be.
But as soon as we click off until the next business day, when Monday comes along, we
probably will start hearing about the Y2K problems with software.
We'll start hearing little problems.
But I think at that time, you're going to see some profit-taking.
Thank you.
It's really interesting, Gordon, that the mass media is reporting everything is hunky-dory.
Which it is right now, as midnight crosses these various time zones.
But when they do go back to business on Monday, there's going to be a significant, I believe, amount of disruption.
Not world-ending, but a lot of companies are going to have a nasty surprise waiting for them.
I think we're going to see more of that in You know, third world countries, you know, Russia put a lot of work on their defense system with U.S.
assistance, and they also did it on their oil fields.
We did the same thing in Saudi and other places.
But, you know, those countries, there's a lot of old technology.
And I think that that's where you're going to see the disruptions.
And then that in turn will eventually, which may take months, affect us in imports.
You know, we may see these changes now.
So Y2K is not over.
Because everything's okay at midnight 2000?
We need to look over a period of several months.
There will be problems that will come up.
But it's not a disaster, end of the world event.
Obviously so.
And it looks like the one thing that I was concerned about, which was the power, Apparently is going to be okay.
It might even be a little early to say that, but it does look pretty much as though it's going to be okay.
What about, I don't know whether you can look at this and whether you can see it, but human beings are, you know, we're in a kind of a strange, a lot of crime is less, has lessened, certain types of crime.
But as you well know, our young people are Just absolutely out of control.
I mean, horrid things are happening, Gordon.
And socially, what do you see ahead?
I see some major problems.
There are a couple of things that are just really accelerating now.
Manic depression, for example, is really raging.
The internet, with all of its wonderfulness, is like anything.
It has both sides of the coin.
It's very possible that it contributes somewhat, not exclusively by any means, but it sets up at least the conditions for people to lose sight of things.
The family unit has been in trouble.
Socially, I see the speed up of the earth driving changes in social behaviors and patterns.
We also can look to the family unit.
We can look to the fact that if we go back to when you and I were growing up, we were playing with ham radio.
We had a family.
Things were different.
Today, both parents are working.
Daycare is part of life.
It's very busy.
It's very competitive.
Everything is running very, very fast.
Everybody's on the Internet.
Ham Radio's dying.
As a matter of fact, by the way, they just restructured Ham Radio, the big announcement from the FCC, and they've reduced the code speed for any class of license down to five words per minute.
Gordon, did you know that?
I heard that the ARE had proposed it.
I didn't know that it had... The FCC just came out with a rulemaking.
I know that I had gone down and I have an advanced class and I had taken the CODAT back in the days when you could go down to an FCC station.
Same here.
So I understand that even that class is going to be discontinued.
That's right.
It's all done by fellow HEMS now.
So things are rapidly changing and they're trying to do this to draw people back into HEM Radio and I hope they do it because we need A technical base in this country.
People who know how to do things beyond pulling out one black box and putting in another black box to fix what's wrong.
That's not a real technician.
Right.
Although, anytime there's a hurricane, a flood, a cyclone, a natural disaster of any type, you will find a ham there with his radio relaying messages.
That's one of the, you know, I've been involved with the civil defense for 30 years.
And that's one of the parts of ham radio that I always felt very good about.
I felt that was a contribution that I could make.
You know, my station is here for our town if they need it.
That's right.
As is mine.
A lot of hams are, of course, standing by tonight.
All right, we're going to break here.
And when we come back, I'm going to open up the phone lines for Gordon Michael Scalion.
So if you have a question for our nation's premier intuitive, that's what we're going to do when we come back.
Gordon Michael Scalion here tonight All right and it's coming home

Now, I'm not talking about Y2K problems.
I'm talking about normal times, which by the way, they are right now.
And even in normal times, an awful lot of Y2K, awful lot of internet providers out there serve up something less than ideal.
Actually, Totally foul connections.
Slow speeds.
Non-connectivity.

But I'm too much of a gentleman.
Look at this.
The way you wanted me to build her.
She could take four compartments opened up completely.
But after that there's too much weight.
She's gonna come down at the head.
And all the pumps working.
Maybe we got an hour, maybe two.
And then she's gonna break.
Right here by the engine compartment.
Right there by the reciprocating engines.
That's where she's gonna break.
How do I know that?
Because I built the bloody ship!
I know how she lives, and I know how she's gonna die!
That audio spirit got me.
By the way, everybody, Gordon Michael Scallion's book, Notes from the Cosmos, is available, I would assume, in stores and Amazon.com and all the usual places.
Is that still true, Gordon?
It is true, and...
Last year when I was on, all the stores, the Barnes and Nobles, everybody sold out.
So this year they said that they were going to make sure they had them in stock so they can get them to the area.
If they're out of stock or they can't get it, they can always call my office and one of our staff would be happy to mail them out a copy.
Do you want to give out that number?
Sure.
This is Monday through Friday, 9 to 5 Eastern.
The office will be closed until Monday.
And it's 603-363-4164.
And the royalties from this book goes to charities.
And my prime one is American Red Cross.
The American Red Cross.
Notes from the Cosmos, area code 603-363-4164 or in bookstores, no doubt, across America.
All right, to the phones we go.
First time caller line, you're on the air with Gordon Michael Scallion.
Happy New Year.
Well, Happy New Year to you, too.
Okay, you're a little hard to hear, so yell at us.
Happy New Year to you both.
Thank you.
It's a real pleasure and privilege to get through, and my questions are about the visions in the future.
By the way, I'm from San Diego.
Okay.
My name's Donna.
Hi, Donna.
You mentioned a couple of things, if it's possible, I would like to know more about, if you can share it.
One, changes in maps.
Is anything hazy or fuzzy that further he could say about that?
And I was also interested that he said people look a little different when this is all over.
That's right.
All right.
Well, let's see if we can press him on that.
You have a map.
I have it out in my hot tub room.
It covers a whole wall.
It's beautiful.
It's a future map of the world.
And is there anything that since the publication of that map, Gordon, if you were to redo today, you would change?
No, it's remained the same.
Some of the windows of things happening, some of them are earlier than I thought, will happen earlier.
Some of them will happen later.
So there's a little time fluctuation there.
But the map remains the same.
I have seen no changes in it.
for the past three, four, five years.
Yes.
That's some map.
Alright, and the people, she's right, you mentioned they looked a bit different.
Any further clarification on that?
Yes, let me go back to the map for a minute.
In my book I do describe the kind of changes that will be going on.
So there's a dialogue in there that you can see it.
And if you go to my website, there's a map there that you can click on by continent.
It will give you a general idea of what the changes are like.
That website is www.matrixinstitute.com.
The changes I've seen in people... In 1988 I did a paper and distributed it and actually published it about these children that I saw that were coming in I don't know.
world that were different. I described them as children of the blue ray. These children
somehow had these very special unique gifts. A lot of them wouldn't eat meat for example.
They wouldn't eat it. They couldn't handle meat. They were very bright, highly intuitive.
They tended to almost...and now of course it's been several decades later where I meet
parents now and they remind me that they had heard that back in the 80s.
So you're talking about an evolutionary change?
It is.
It's another sub-race of a people.
And the changes of the race are due to the changes in our solar activity.
The position of our earth relative to the sun.
The axis angle is going to change and all of that is going to create Bring about changes, just like a tree will go through changes, or an animal, for example, in the winter will get thicker fur as part of its natural cycle.
If it's warm all the time, then the animal will change.
It will adapt, just as we will.
And so these children, these Blue-Ray children, are what I saw occurring in the 90s, and then as we get into the year 2012, 2015, We see these, the people who were born, not the people who are born now, but the people who were born at those years, if you looked at them they would look different.
Almost the pigmentation is different in their skin.
Whether you were black or white or red, it makes no difference.
The pigmentation of the skin would give it almost a cast of a very, very, you know, ever so faint blue.
But this is like the new generations, if you will, the new millennium children.
Well, we already have children in Australia who are required to wear headgear when they're outside going to school, whatever, because of the thinning of the ozone.
And is that the kind of thing that produces an evolutionary change?
That's one of the things that would do it.
And if the atmosphere was changed drastically, Where we were bringing more solar radiation in, that would do it.
I think what happens is that the sun changes, and therefore the earth changes, and then the vibration of the earth, the resonance of the earth, is actually going to change, I believe.
And that's going to modify our DNA.
And I think this is what brings about the change.
Yes, I would do it all right.
Wild Card Line, you're on the air with Gordon Michael Scallion in New Hampshire.
Hello.
Good day.
This is Karen in Houston.
How are you doing, Art?
Hi, Karen.
Hey, Gordon.
Hi, Karen.
I'm so glad you're on.
Thank you.
I really am.
In a nutshell, you're putting so much together, but my question is, how do we pack our nutshell?
I mean all of this that you are telling us, how do we draw it all together and kind of
put together what we had before, what you said about the pyramid in material, technology,
spirit?
How can we in baby steps like one, two, three, keep this going now that we have an understanding
of it?
We need to apply whatever we are made of to make this come about and it may be baby steps
that we can kind of lay a better path for those children you're talking about.
And I have witnessed some of these children that you're talking about.
That's why I'm asking.
How do we assist our future generations?
So that nothing fizzles.
We don't want to go backwards.
I don't think we will go backwards.
I think it's a natural process.
One of the things that I hear parents telling me is that their children, ages three years old, four years old, are really becoming the parents. You hear this over and
over again of how parents are learning from their children. Not only computers that they
can do, young people can master computers at young ages, 5, 6, 7, it's more than that. They
have an understanding. There is a lot of prophecies if you look at biblical Native
American, almost every culture talks about this millennium of peace that is coming which we have
just entered and you will in another hour or two.
This period of time, it's like the Earth gets bathed, if you will, in this spiritual matrix.
And what it does is it floods you with this incredible energy, and then you have a choice.
You can take the energy, take it in and work with it, or you can deny it.
And of course this is true with anything in life.
The vibration of this earth and the sun and everything that's going on now is happening so fast.
I mean, the changes that I've seen in the speed in the past two years is unbelievable.
And if I look back ten years, you know, or twenty years, I can just see we're like this freight train that's pulled out of a station and now we're starting to really roll.
What we have to do is, once you become aware of something, there's various phases we go through.
We can go through denial, we can go through anger, You know, eventually, depending on our path, we come to acceptance.
And there's only one thing that I have found that we can really do as a society, and that is that we have to be constantly taking some time every day to kind of go inside and ask those questions that are important to us.
And trust that there is a greater universe of intelligence.
There is a God.
And regardless of your race, your belief system, it's this universal force.
And the window for communications with this force is opening up wide.
And for a thousand years we're going to have this wide open window where it is going to be easy for everybody to be a visionary.
If we choose to take the time to listen, and that means that we can't one day say, I'm too busy, I've got to do this, I've got...
You have to make the time.
It doesn't have to be much.
I suggest, in my courses, I tell my students, take seven minutes a day.
And in that seven minutes, get a notebook.
Write down whatever questions, if your question, Karen, was that, you know, how can I be of service during these times to my family, to the friends, the neighbors?
and you do the seven minute exercise, and you do it every day faithfully at the same time,
it sets up a window of communications with spiritual forces.
Those forces are within you and without you.
It's a uniform energy system.
And when you start hearing things at first, you'll be amazed.
And you write them in your journal.
And I find that if people do it for 21 consecutive days without missing a day or a time,
that their intuition levels are off the charts.
It's almost scary.
I get letters from students saying, you know, I did this and now I'm really nervous.
And that's when you really have to trust.
You have to keep it going.
If you miss a day in the 21 days, then you need to start all over again from day one.
Well, I understand what you mean by trust because I do trust that a grand creator does not make mistakes.
So everything must be in place and so I feel like if we can really draw on that, Then we will be following the right lead.
Well, the Grand Creator may not, but we do.
We're capable of mistakes, and so that was good instruction.
East of the Rockies, you're on the air with Gordon Michael Scallion.
Hello.
Happy New Year from New York, Art.
Oh, how's it going there?
Things are going fine.
All essential services up and running.
I'm calling from Yonkers, which is about 15 miles north of Times Square.
We saw the fireworks go up.
It was very spectacular.
Oh, it really was.
I saw it, too.
It was gorgeous.
I'm listening to you, of course, on 77 WABC.
You may be interested to know that Curtis Leua broke in on you twice.
Oh, no surprise there.
Once for five minutes during your 10 to 10.30 Eastern Time segment, and then once again about an hour later for above five minutes, but he didn't last.
Well, he needs to get a life.
I'd just like you to know that you have a lot of fans, especially in Monmouth County, New Jersey.
Bob and Nancy, a lot of folks listening to you all over the East Coast, I'm sure, tonight.
Thank you.
I'd like to ask Gordon something, specifically referring to the continent of Australia.
Happy New Year, Gordon.
Happy New Year to you, too.
What is your name?
Something has tweaked my interest in Queensland, near Cooktown.
I wondered if you have any impressions concerning that part of the continent.
In 1979, one of the first series of visions I got was from space looking down on the Earth.
I don't think so.
In fact for the first probably month or so all I saw was the South Pole and Australia.
Every time a vision would come up I would write it down.
Then I had a series of dreams that told me why I was seeing New Zealand and Australia.
It was because in the future New Zealand in particular was going to be a major communications
hub of the world.
It was going to disseminate information of a spiritual nature not religious nature.
Areas such as Queensland were going to become almost like sacred spaces.
Speaking of sacred spaces that is the reason why I called you.
My name is John by the way.
There is an enigmatic pile in Queenstown called Black Mountain.
It is a pile of boulders a thousand feet high and several miles long.
Which has strange significance to the aborigines there.
There's no way to account for a half-billion-ton pile of boulders.
And I just wanted to know if you had heard anything about that, or if that affected you perhaps the same way as the Great Pyramid of Giza might have.
Ayers Rock did.
Ayers Rock, the red rock, had a great effect on me.
The pile that you're speaking of, I did have a whole series of visions about that part of the world.
And what I saw was this great deluge that took and moved huge boulders and stones and just packed it into canyons and then it was like open plains, it would just dump it wherever the water would end.
And I'm quite certain that what you're talking about is that area.
Well, given its proximity to the coast of Australia, it's only about 50 miles from the coast, so that might jive with the Oceania, the Lemuria extinction phenomenon, perhaps.
I believe so.
All right.
Thank you very much.
Okay, Gordon, thank you.
We don't have a whole lot of time left, Gordon.
We could take calls for a million years here, or at least another thousand, but let me do it one more time.
Your book is Notes from the Cosmos, and it's available in bookstores, we think, nationwide, certainly Amazon.com, and or you may make a phone call and get a copy on the way.
It's area code 603.
3-6-3, 4-1-6-4.
And with that, is there anything else you'd like to tell everybody?
I mean, it is a fairly momentous, the new millennium's about to crash over the Midwest time zone in a few moments.
Anything you want to tell everybody?
I'm very, you know, especially tonight watching CNN go through the different time zones and seeing that, you know, for these moments there's kind of a It's an international unity that goes beyond politics and religion.
It's a universal celebration.
I'm very hopeful about things that I'm seeing.
I do know that we are going to make great spiritual strides in the next year.
Amazingly so.
It does not mean that everything will stop.
It's the end of a cycle.
We're going to see challenges and difficulties.
But the potential for personal growth will be greater than it's ever been in our lifetime.
So in other words, there is more than just a date change.
Correct.
Gotcha.
Gordon, I really want to thank you for taking time.
My pleasure.
On this night to be here.
Happy New Year to you.
I understand your wife is here.
Happy New Year to her and to all of my students.
Happy New Year to you as well.
Happy New Year.
Bye bye.
Bye bye.
Coming up on midnight.
Central time.
Central time, that's right.
All right, folks.
Get ready to celebrate in the middle part of the country because the Millennium's about to cross over your head.
And it is more than just a date.
You can feel it.
You can really feel it when you're watching the coverage.

It's a lot colder.
But you've walked away, and Mayor Daley is playing host to two people from almost every country on Earth.
And here, fireworks are going off in many, many different directions, and the Laser Light Show continues.

We got clear skies, the stars are big and bright.
It's midnight, it's parked with a laser light show and 20 minutes of fireworks, all hotter than a chili pepper.
Across North Texas, no Y2K problems so far.
So far, people are welcoming 2000 Texas style with lots of hootin' and hollerin'.

Confetti cannons have just showered the hundreds of thousands of people gathered here in the French Quarter
in confetti, we're waiting for a huge fireworks display, and there it goes!
Happy New Year from New Orleans, where things are absolutely wild!
A massive crowd, shoulder to shoulder, packed into the French Quarter, having a wonderful time!
Now it's time to dance with Eve in Times Square!
And here in New York, the crowds are dispersing.
Some people are still cheering.
Police said they arrested one man about 10 blocks away with a loaded, unlicensed rifle in his car.
But otherwise, not much trouble for disorderly conduct arrests.
The lights have stayed on.
More on the national picture at the CBS News Y2K desk.
Correspondent Howard Arenstein joins us live.
Dan, some minor problems, but mostly tonight it sounded like this from the FAA's Monte Belger.
We can't say with certainty that we've had absolutely no safety problems, no breakdowns or interruptions in any of our active air traffic control systems.
Cash is still spitting out of ATMs, water is still flowing through the pipes, and computers are still working.
Officials say the transition appears to be successful, but they warn problems could still emerge.
Live at the CBS News Y2K desk, I'm Howard Ehrenstein.
President Clinton led the New Year celebrations on the Mall in Washington between the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial, where huge screens showed a documentary film made by Steven Spielberg, in part narrated by Mr. Clinton.
People all over the world seem to be having a happy New Year so far.
Here's CBS News reporter Elaine Cobb in Paris, where 12 o'clock came seven hours ago.
The show is over now.
It's time to go in search of a party.
An estimated 1.2 million people thronged the Champs-Élysées for midnight and a stunning 90-minute music and light show.
Eleven giant Ferris wheels lit up the avenue.
The Eiffel Tower danced its way into the year 2000 with a dazzling fireworks display.

This is Coast to Coast AM with Art Fell from the Kingdom of Nye.
Interesting time to be alive, isn't it?
It's here, and it's coming to where I am shortly.
In the Midwest, in the East Coast now, you're in a new millennium.
How does it feel?
Do you feel any difference?
So far, so good.
Y2K-wise, a few minor glitches thus far.
And for those of you who think I might be disappointed that there's not more, I'm not.
I could not be happier.
And if you prepared for Y2K, good for you.
Stay prepared, because there are interesting times ahead.
As far as the new millennium is concerned, so far, boy, I'm telling you, so good.
All across the world, it's been pretty smooth.
We'll see what happens first day back at business.
At any rate, we're going to kind of wing it for the rest of the show.
We may bring in a few people that we know here and there.
I have a word or two with you.
But we're going to continue taking predictions, of course, as we Roll out the final opportunity to make predictions for this new year.
Then we close out the list of predictions and, of course, we review them as I'm about to review some in a few moments for you made last year for $19.99.
Batting record?
1999. Batting record? So-so.
If you're on the internet now and you have a provider, then well, you know what it's
If you're not on the internet yet and you're, you know, maybe you got a computer for Christmas, well, why don't you start out the right way and you'll not be disappointed with the way things are?
Hmm?
The way you can do that is by joining MindSpring, as I have done.
If you want to email me, that's how you do it.
I'm artbell at mindspring.com.
Why am I there?
Because they have good ass connections.
Because they've got friendly people.
Because they've got the Spaminator.
Takes all that junk email out of your email box.
All the same reasons you ought to be there.
And then, of course, a deal.
The deal you can't refuse.
You call them.
I'm going to give you the number here in a second.
You can call them right now.
Use my name.
And by one month of service.
And when you do, lo and behold, they will level upon you two months of service.
Free of charge.
Now that's a really, really good deal.
So call them.
Here's the number.
Call now.
1-888-677-7464.
It's a toll-free number.
8-6-7-7-7-4-6-4. It's a toll-free number. 1-888-6-7-7-7-4-6-4.
1-888-677-7464.
And now, the Sea Crane Company, this may happen once a year, if that. They're open
right now, this minute. And we have a whole bunch of new Millennium Specials for you,
going on, that you can purchase now.
You know, this is impulse buying time.
The Zeit Atomic Clock, discounted to $59.95.
The Beijing Classic Radio with a Lite 109.
95.
The Sanjean ATS-909 shortwave receiver, and so much more, discounted tonight to $239.95.
The CC Expedition light, a light even the military is now using.
It's so damn good.
Discounted, well the price is $59.95, but tonight you buy two at $119.90 and you get a free CC Trek light, a $34.95 value.
And now, The CC Radio.
This is the best radio in the world.
There's no discount on this tonight.
Oh, now, wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
Yes, there is.
It's still $159.95, but if you buy a CC Radio tonight, lo and behold, you get a free CC Trek light A $34.95 value!
Aha!
So, that's tonight only, folks, and going on right now, because the Sea Grain Company will be there for about another hour and 45 minutes or so.
So call them!
The best radio in the world, without qualification, is the CC Radio.
Go for it!
Tonight only, you get this big bonus!
The number is one, 800-522-8863.
That's 1-800-522-8863.
The Sea Crane Company.
Now, let's see.
I've got a couple of other things that I've got to get done.
This is confusing.
All of these hours.
We've got so many hours.
Eight hours we're going to be on the air tonight.
But I'm glad to be here.
And now, the CEO for BuyItNow.com.
Hello!
Where's our guys now?
All right, let me see if I can decipher my own handwriting and we'll look at a few of the other predictions made.
Let's see.
Number 30 made in 1998 for 1999 was terrorism from Iraq in 99.
I'm going to put a question mark because that is a question mark.
We never know, do we?
Number 31 is Hillary runs for president.
Bonk, but close.
Close, but no cigar.
Sorry about that.
I couldn't resist.
Close, but no cigar.
She's running for the Senate, apparently.
Number 32.
We will all finally receive pay for our widgets.
Our money back for our widgets.
Remember the widget guy?
Well, bonk.
We have not, although he tried to contact me recently, and I said, well, have you followed through on your promise?
And I get nothing in return.
On number 33, Area 51 is found to be nothing but a smoke screen.
Bonk.
It's still there, and it's still doing its thing.
Number 30, in fact, if anything, we kind of dug up a little piece of proof here recently with a telephone adage we had.
Remember that?
We've got that document up there.
Go look yourself.
It says Area 51 along with Pahrump, a little of Las Vegas.
Number 34 was invasion of the Middle East by the USA.
Bonk!
We did not do that.
In fact, things are looking rather peaceful over there at the moment.
Number 35, an entire family of Bigfoot.
Or would it be Bigfeet?
Or Bigfoots?
Would be discovered.
Well, either way.
Bonk.
Wrong.
Number 36.
The air war with Iraq continues all year long.
Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding.
Ding.
A big ding on that one.
Number 37.
Our blessed Constitution to be done away with.
Bonk.
That one's made every year, and, uh, sure enough, the Constitution remains in full force.
Number 38.
Y2K, a general fizzle.
Ding, ding, ding, ding.
So far.
Alright, somebody caught that one.
I think.
We'll know more about that next week.
Now, number 39.
Air Force One will crash, bonk.
It did not crash, although it had a close encounter.
A very close encounter.
Number 40.
A major city destroyed by a weapon of mass destruction.
Well, we've got a little time to go yet, but so far, bonk.
And we're going to leave that as a hopeful bonk.
Now, let me see.
Number 41 is Harley Davidson.
Somebody's going to buy Harley Davidson.
Now, I'm going to have to put a question mark by that.
I don't think anybody's bought Harley, but I heard something about Harley.
I can't recall what it was.
A number 42.
Star Trek.
The final year for Star Trek.
Bonk.
Star Trek is never going to end.
Star Trek will go on all our lives.
Number 43.
A change in our Constitution.
Bonk.
No change that I know of, unless you consider the continued erosion of it, perhaps.
Well, now that's a different story.
Even if the ding I gave as the general fizzle is true, was it the story of the year?
At the beginning of the year it certainly was, later on not.
So I'm giving that a ding and a bonk.
It was kind of both.
And then 45, and I'll stop here for a while, the prophecy, or a prophecy, no, a single prophecy of Edgar Cayce comes true.
I think that's a bomb, but I don't know.
I would have to talk to the Cayce Foundation.
I'm putting a question mark by that one.
Maybe some of you can help me out.
So, there you have it, and we will continue to go through the list from last year shortly.
But I will now commence to take new predictions.
And I will resume that at number 44.
So if you have a prediction to make when you call with whatever you want to say, I will record it, assign it a number.
Remember, you can make only one prediction.
It can only be made on the phones, not by email, not by fax.
Not by carrier pigeon.
You've got to make it here on the phones so everybody can hear it.
On my international line, you're on the air.
Hi.
Hello.
Hello.
I'm calling from Israel.
Israel?
Yeah, the sun is up here.
Birds are singing.
My electricity still works.
And the world has continued.
Yes, just as I sort of expected.
What time, sir, is it now in Israel?
It is 8.19 here.
8.19 in the morning.
In the morning.
And that would be on Saturday?
Saturday morning, right?
Saturday morning.
Okay, so what do you think is going to happen though when we get to the business day?
Well, that's interesting you bring that up because Israel has the workweek.
The Starks Funding ends on Friday.
We have our weekend on Friday and Saturday, not Saturday and Sunday.
So in other words, you're going to find out early.
You're going to find out early.
We'll be the first country in the world to start their business week, so I understand it.
I'm sorry, where in Israel are you?
I am calling from a place called Beersheba or on the maps you will find it as Beersheba.
The Negev Desert is the southern half of the country.
My climate here is like yours in Peru.
We are both in the desert.
And we both have things buried in the desert too.
Yes, in a sense, you're right.
Yes, I know.
Well, it's great to hear from Israel on this night, and I watched the Middle East celebrations, and thank God, or Allah, or whoever you want to thank, it all seemed to go peacefully well.
Yes.
I prepared for Y2K.
I was one of the only people I knew who was preparing.
Although it turns out reading the newspaper the past day or two, a lot of other people have been secretly preparing as well.
And I had neighbors over, the clock struck midnight, the lights stayed on, they all turned and looked at me like, you chicken little you, the guy did not fall.
But we'll see.
In another couple of days, we'll see if I was right or not.
That's right.
I think a lot of people are concluding because it's going well at midnight, that means it's going to go well.
Well, Y2K is not going to be over, and we can't really sigh relief until days, if not weeks, have passed.
Yes.
I've realized that.
Most things will fully degrade, I suppose, if they're going to.
If something really weird happens there, like a giant snowstorm, you call me for sure.
Oh, all right.
It is in the realm of possibility.
We're having a terrible drought here, two years in a row, here in the desert.
We haven't had enough rain to germinate annual seeds.
I know.
The desert usually blooms in the winter, just like the winter rains you have there.
I know.
The world's weather, sir, without question, is in the middle of a change.
I don't think anybody is arguing about that one anymore.
Yeah.
All right, well listen, um, wonderful.
I just wanted to tell you, I don't know many other people here in Israel that listen to you, but I was in the States in 97, driving around on a great tour I took with my daughter.
I listened to you at night while we were driving great distances.
You changed our lives here.
You had Philip Corso on then.
That's right.
And light bulbs went off all over the place in my head as I heard him explaining transistors and optical fibers and mylar and all this stuff.
All of it made so much sense all of a sudden.
The world hasn't been the same since I listened to that show in July.
He was an amazing man.
There's no question about it.
An amazing man.
And I wanted to thank you.
It was a real honor to have... I had more hours of interview of Colonel Corso than anybody in the American media or the media anywhere for that matter.
Thank you so much, sir.
Just wanted to let you know the world keeps turning and the sun will come up soon where you are too.
Good night and good luck to you in Israel.
Yeah, this is a really good night, by the way, for the International Line.
So I guess I ought to plug that, huh?
If you would like to reach us from any exotic spot in the world and give us your report, the way you do it is get hold of the AT&T operator.
and then have her call 800-893-0903.
Now I realize that Canadians can call that line, but if Canadians would sort of leave that alone and come in on one
of the other lines tonight, we'll try and see what parts of the world we're
able to hear from.
Now, Israel is a pretty good start.
So, if you're out there in the middle of wherever, South Africa, Asia, up late listening to the program, get hold of the AT&T operator and give us a call.
8-9-3-0-9-0-3.
What's for the Rockies?
You're on the air.
Hi.
Hi, Art.
Air Force veteran dittos to you.
Oh, well, dittos to you, sir.
Prediction, sir.
All right.
Number 44, it shall be.
The Pope will expire, unfortunately.
I fear you may be right, but you know, You've got to give it to him.
I think, as I said last night, sheer willpower seems to have kept him alive to the year 2000.
He wanted to see it.
He wanted to see it.
I think that was fantastic.
Just willpower.
Yep.
I mean, you could see the man is as frail as a man can be and still be alive, and it's a testament to the willpower of man.
Oh, yes, sir.
I put your prediction down.
Thank you, sir.
Thank you, and take care.
East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
Hi.
Hi.
Hello.
Hello.
Can you hear me?
Yes.
Turn your radio off.
Okay.
Yes, holding while you do that.
Yes.
Yes.
Who's this?
What's your best guess?
Are you wiped out?
Is that your final answer?
Yes.
No, I'm Harry.
Hi, Harry.
Happy New Year.
Happy New Year to you, too.
What's on your mind?
Um, I wanted to talk to Art.
Well, this is Art.
It is Art?
Yes.
A little Harry, but Art.
Turn off the radio!
He said turn off the radio.
Yeah, come on, turn it off.
You know who did that?
Yeah.
Ken Sander.
Really?
Yeah, do you know him?
Bad, Jen Sender.
Bad, bad, bad.
Anyway, listen, we don't have a lot of time, so what's on your mind?
He keeps killing him.
Okay, well Ken wanted me to ask you if you know him.
No.
You don't?
No.
He says he doesn't know you.
Okay, that's all I wanted to know.
That was it, huh?
Well, pretty much.
Alright, well I appreciate your call.
Thank you.
Do I know somebody?
Ken Sander, not that I know of.
I'm still kind of thinking that in New York, where the ball came down, it was kind of Americana.
I mean, the ball came down with all these tetrahedral swirling things, and when it came down, it looked like it came down right over the Discover card sign.
And I thought, yeah, that's us.
West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
Hello.
Hello, Art.
Hi.
This is Ron from Nevada City.
Hi, Ron.
And, excuse me, I've got to pull my headphone out.
Yes, you do.
Same radio thing.
No feedback, but definitely brain-confusing there.
Okay.
Well, thank you very much.
Happy New Year.
And to you.
And I want to really praise you for hanging in there and giving us the truth as you see it throughout these times, or at least It's just a big open forum.
That's it.
Yeah, and that's the only way we're going to find out the truth is if we're given the information to figure it all out with.
Do you want to make a prediction?
Yes, I do.
All right.
Number 45.
It has to do with part of your problem of being a media person and presenting the truth.
People are going to take pot shots at you, so to speak, with propaganda and such.
I think the whole Heaven's Gate snail bop thing was a perfect example of that.
Misinformation and really casting doubt upon you.
You must have read the Denver Post article.
No, I didn't.
You ought to read it then.
It's on the website now.
It's a real winner.
It's not a pot shot.
It's like a shotgun blast.
Long time listeners know your stance on that and know you had nothing to do with that.
We've got to go.
So what I predict is going to happen here in the year 2000 is that the real truth about
Hale-Bopp is going to come out.
And I actually think that probably you, in the major, might be the one to be the media
or the forum to present that truth.
All right, sir.
I appreciate the call.
Thank you.
We've got to go.
We'll be right back.
AMA 40, KXNT.
you.
Okay ladies and gentlemen, here we are in Times Square and the ball is dropping as we speak

New Millennium here on the West Coast.
However, coming up in about 25 minutes, now less, the Mountain Time Zone is going to greet the new Millennium.
Are you all ready there in Denver and elsewhere?
I guess parts of Utah, I guess I'd have to look at the map, but the Mountain Time Zone coming up in about now 24 minutes as the Millennium is racing across the U.S.
I'm Art Bell, and this is an extended version of Coast to Coast AM.
The Sea Crane Company is open right now, and they're going to be open for the next hour and 24 minutes.
They actually are there, staffing ready, taking orders on specials.

They are there right now.
2 2 8 8 6 3. That's 1-800-522-8863. They are there right now. To make this commercial more
believable... Alright, my wife Ramona has made a prediction which I am recording as
prediction number 46.
Bye.
I'll tell you, I'll choke if she wins, if she gets a ding on this one.
She is predicting for the Super Bowl coming up, the St.
Louis Rams versus, get this, Kansas City.
And she predicts Kansas City wins the Super Bowl.
Any of you making bets based on her prediction should not address me when they lose their money.
They should write email to Ramona Bell at my email address.
Actually, don't any of you go out and bet based on this a Kansas City?
You know, it's not that I don't like Kansas City, because I do.
No, that's not true.
I really don't like Kansas City, because I have lost more money betting on it.
You see, we can bet out here.
Every time I bet on Kansas City to win, they lose.
Every time I bet on them to lose, they've got this great big, great big defensive and offensive front.
I mean, those guys are monsters.
It's like... Anyway, they always foul me up, so...
I actually had a dream that I was... I'll tell you about that dream later.
I was on the Kansas City team.
It was incredible.
She is predicting Kansas City to win the Super Bowl.
Number 46.
We'll see.
In the meantime, here's a voice you'll recognize.
Somebody to wish you a good Happy New Year.
He is about, let's see, 17 and one-half minutes away from The New Millennium sweeping across the mountain upon which he perches.
Richard C. Hoagland.
Hey, Richard.
Good morning, Art, and good morning, America, and Happy New Year to everyone.
Oh, indeed.
Actually, we extend beyond the confines of the continental United States, you know, north of the pole and south and west and all that stuff.
It's really astonishing because if you sat and watched any of the coverage today on ABC or CNN... Oh, I did.
It really felt like a planet, Art.
Together.
It really was one.
And everybody's saying, oh, we're making such a big deal of a trivial date change.
It's arbitrary anyway.
If we have time, I want to go into a couple of reasons why apparently it's not arbitrary.
But the thing that came across today was everybody kind of I mean, the last time I saw an event like this, it was in the control room of 42 screens, sitting behind Cronkite, watching Neil and Buzz and those guys land on the moon.
Because the planet was one doing one thing, thinking one thought.
You're right.
And that other thought today was, we're all diverse, we're all different.
But we're really all fundamentally the same.
I mean, it was extraordinary.
Absolutely extraordinary to watch this.
And tomorrow morning, for those who missed it, apparently Sam Donaldson on ABC from 8 to 11 Eastern Time is going to have three hours of the highlights.
The best of the best of the transition today.
Did you see the Eiffel Tower?
Yes.
With Barbara sitting in front of it.
It was absolutely astounding.
Yes.
Amazing.
When you consider That thing was supposed to come to the United States originally.
That's true, isn't it?
Yes, it is.
And then I really love the New York ball going down and hitting the Discover card sign.
Oh, don't get me started on the New York ball.
If you go to our website, Enterprise Mission, or you go through Arts, to me tonight as a guest, you will see a close-up set of images of the Waterford Crystal New York Times Square 2000 Gala Ball.
All six feet of it.
It was composed of nothing but redundant tetrahedrons.
And there were 504 of those little rotating suckers on the surface.
It was really awesome.
I mean, I've got video.
They've been doing kind of tests the last couple of days, and the Fox had some really good close-ups.
And these things are spinning their little hearts out.
And of course, the whole thing is called the Seven Rays Star of Hope.
Well, as we say in the web piece, which if you go to it, it's the, you know, official Hyperdimensional New Year new post we have up there at the top.
There's no doubt in anybody's mind, there can be no doubt, that whoever planned these ceremonies is totally plugged into this whole idea of the hyperdimensional tetrahedral, you know, Sirius Celebration, because the star was meant to represent the star Sirius.
And if you look at the tarot, you know, anybody who's a tarot expert out there in the audience,
go to a pack of tarot cards and you will see that there is a tarot deck which has the star,
has a seven-rate star of hope, and it's called Thoth, T-H-O-T-H, which was the, you know,
Egyptian god of wisdom and writing and academics and knowledge and all that.
And they're supposed to have built and constructed the Great Pyramid as part of the Egyptian mythos.
So even though we didn't have the crowning of the Great Pyramid with the capstone, you know,
Zahi's gold capstone...
You know, earlier tonight, Richard, I heard an explanation about why they wouldn't let them do that.
And they said, and I don't believe, that they were afraid they would damage the pyramid.
Oh, come on.
Oh, what a bunch of crap.
Now, I was at the pyramid.
They weren't going to damage the pyramid.
And if they did, they would have fixed it.
Well, but you can't really damage it because there is, as you know, this big iron spike sticks a yellow tripod up in the center, which goes to the presumed height.
kind of as a lightning rod that sticks up to where the 480-some feet pyramid would come
to an apex, to a point.
And they had planned this thing, I think it was aluminum superstructure and it was covered
with gold foil and it was going to be lowered by a helicopter with some lasers for positioning
and guys up there would carefully set it down.
So that was not the reason.
The real reason is somehow lost in the labyrinth of this secret stuff that's going on beneath
the surface we're not supposed to know about.
Well, Gordon Michael Scallion spent a good part of three hours telling us about what's
below and there is a lot below and it's about to be discovered and or already has been.
Well, you know, it's so extraordinary and of course I did listen and amongst, you know, doing a bunch of other stuff here tonight to Gordon.
The station we normally get that comes from Tennessee, TRN through satellite, did not
carry you in the first three hours.
So I had to pick you up with the old-fashioned AM radio on KOB here in Albuquerque.
It works.
There's a big mountain between me and KOB, and I have been replacing all our lamps with
fluorescents, just to save energy.
So you have noise.
Well, unless I position the radio just right and stand on one foot and kind of point my head towards the... Anyway, I was able to hear, and it was extraordinary, what Stallion was saying, which comes, as you know, from his visions and his sources.
And what we have figured out from the science and the due diligence and the elbow grease And there's an extraordinary overlay art.
I was absolutely fascinated.
And in the coming weeks and months, as we do these things, as we get ready and post things on the web, people will be able to see a remarkable correlation between some of the things that Scallion was saying tonight and some of the real history that we are unearthing as part of the Enterprise science do-it-by-the-numbers research.
All right.
Listen, Richard, wonderful having you here.
The new millennium is about to crash upon your head there.
Would you like to make a prediction for the year 2000?
A prediction?
Yeah, sure.
Well, given the fact that we can now substantiate that this year is not arbitrary, in other words, everyone thinks, and you know, getting into calendar stuff tonight was much too complicated, but go to the web and take a look at that tetrahedral ball in Times Square.
Right.
We can now document that the actual positioning in time of the 2000-2001 transition was carefully calculated and was part of Pope Gregory's 1582 reformation of the calendar.
There is a Russian website, which is linked now to our website.
There's a couple of Russian investigators named A.T. Flamenco.
This is a Hoagland prediction, all right.
And G.V.
Nosyovsky.
Nosyovsky.
Oh, by the way, continue, Richard.
Well, they believe that there's about 400 years of made-up history that they have discovered
that's been kind of cloned in terms of modern history books looking back at the history
of Europe, particularly the history of England.
Figures.
And the question would be, why would you make up 400 years?
And they actually believe it was pulled from the Byzantine Empire.
Oh, I know the answer to that.
And they got to cover up what happened during that 400 years.
Among other things, but also to cover up the fact that the calendar was off by something like 400 years.
Now, how can a calendar be off if timekeeping is arbitrary?
There's no way it could be off.
In other words, at some point you start the clock, and you just keep rolling, right?
Right.
Well, but suppose there is a bigger clock.
Suppose there is an absolute clock.
Suppose there's a fundamental clock, like the atomic clock at Boulder, to use an analogy.
The new one.
The new one.
And that you have a watch, and you discover somewhere, some week, some day, that your watch is off, let's say, by four hours compared to the absolute clock.
And you reset your watch to be synchronized.
Right.
But then you have to make up a story for what happened in those four hours.
I see.
Well, that's what the Russians think has gone.
And what's interesting is that we came to the same conclusion from a totally different route last year.
We've been quietly looking at this in terms of our good old, you know, computer program Redshift.
And we discovered that the clock, the absolute clock, Had to do with the positioning of the star Sirius, critical in the Egyptian mythology, on the meridian, at Giza, at midnight, as the century changed.
And so, that I don't break into tears, your prediction is?
The next year, between 2000 and 2001, when the real millennium transitions, all kinds of absolutely extraordinary revelations ...are going to come falling out of the closet, and they began tonight with this overtly hyperdimensional tetrahedral sphere, lowered, representing the star Sirius, in Times Square, to kick it off.
All right, Richard.
True, even down to your prediction, you're incredible.
Thank you, Richard, and we'll do a show soon, of course.
Happy New Year, everybody.
Take care, my friend.
And he is now about as you are in the Mountain Time Zones.
I am about seven and one-half minutes away from the Millennium as it continues to flash across our continent.
Not just America, but Canada and the Americas generally.
It is a very exciting time.
Boy, I'll tell you, just nothing but good news so far.
Lots of partying.
No lights going out.
No crashing.
No terrorist actions that I can see.
Absolutely nothing.
I mean, a really good thing is happening.
And let us all cross our fingers and see that it continues to happen.
On the international line, you're on the air.
Hi.
Hi, Art.
Yes.
My name's David.
I'm in Osaka right now.
Osaka, Japan.
Yes.
How you doing, David?
I'm doing fine.
So far, so good.
Let's see now.
It's been the new millennium in Osaka for quite a while.
Quite a while.
It's 4 p.m.
Are you getting any local reports there in Osaka?
No, I have not heard anything.
I was just talking to a gentleman that was on his way to Los Angeles.
And he's heard of some ATMs going down, but I'm not sure if he meant in the United States or over here.
Well, I can tell you that there, in Japan, there were a couple of minor incidents at nuclear plants.
Oh, there were?
Yes, there were.
Can you be a little more explicit on that?
Well, if I could find it.
Nothing serious, nothing that would cause them to shut down, but I think a couple of sensors, or something or another, due to Y2K, Uh, quit working and, um... Wait a minute here.
Let me see if I can find it.
I'm sure you'd be, uh... Yeah, here it is.
Uh, let's see.
It says, the anticipated first bite from the Y2K bug was barely felt Saturday as computers around the world suddenly made the transition from 1999 to 2000.
Lights stayed on in Asia, and Eastern Russia's nuclear plants ran without a hitch.
In Japan, the failure of a computer linked to a nuclear plant monitoring device Wasn't considered serious enough to shut the plant down, but they say it's still too early to assess the impact, so there is a little something there in Japan.
Interesting.
Well, I'm about to get on a 747 headed for Detroit.
Going to Detroit, huh?
Yes, we came over here.
I'm with the band Kansas, and we played on a military base on New Year's Eve.
You're with the band Kansas?
I'm not in the band.
I'm the lighting director and the keyboard technician.
Well, have you enjoyed your trip to Japan?
I certainly have.
I wish I could have spent more time in Japan, but we came over Friday, so I've just spent a lot of time on aircraft and saw some airports.
Well, have you noticed the prices there?
The prices?
Yes, the prices when you buy things.
I inquired about gasoline, about $1.20 a gallon.
About $1.20 a gallon?
Yes.
Well, that's not bad at all!
Uh, not bad at all.
They also do something interesting over here as far as your vehicles.
You pay taxes on your vehicles according to the displacement of the engine.
In other words, the more it pollutes, the more you pay.
The bigger the engine, the more you pay?
That's right.
Hmm.
Well, I don't know how I feel about that.
Uh, well, I wouldn't enjoy that either.
I have an 81 Camaro Z28.
You do?
My wife has a Camaro.
I've got a Firebird, a Trans Am Firebird.
Oh, what year?
Uh, 98.
98, yeah.
Mine's an 81.
The midnight blue or black, almost blue-black color, it's really... Yeah, those are nice vehicles.
Oh, they are.
But they displace a lot.
Well, I've got to get on this airplane.
It leaves in 15 minutes.
I've been a long-time listener to your show, and I just read your book.
Your book you wrote with Whitley Striever.
Oh, you must have bought that before you left.
I bought that in Florida.
I was in West Palm Beach visiting family for Christmas.
And it's an excellent book.
Very interesting reading.
Thank you very much.
It is.
And take care.
From Japan.
All right.
Listen here, everybody, in the mountain time zone, you got about, I don't know, about three minutes, and the new millennium is going to come roaring across the Rockies.
That's my wife, and I think she's getting in the picture.
Wait a minute, let me ensure that she gets into the picture.
There you are.
All right, we just took one.
That's remote.
Kansas City?
Are you kidding?
Kansas City?
I mean, I could... St.
Louis, yes.
Kansas City, maybe.
But Kansas City prevailing?
Good luck everybody out there following that.

The U.S.
Air Force, checking more than 60 bases worldwide, has found four minor problems.

President Clinton led the celebrations in Washington.
If we want the story of the 21st century to be the triumph of peace and harmony, we must embrace our common humanity.
And our shared destiny.
There on the mall, CBS News White House correspondent Peter Mayer took it all in.
This massive fireworks display is the finale to Washington's National New Year's Party.
The red, white, and blue rocket's glare is turning night into day in the first hour of the year 2000.
It's what President Clinton calls the dawning of the new millennium.
Many people in this party crowd say it's a rare moment to celebrate, to ponder the past, and consider the future of a new century.

Let's go live to CBS News Los Angeles correspondent David Dow on the Paramount lot.
David?
It may be the eve of a new millennium here, but it has the feel of a Hollywood premiere, replete with searchlights in the sky.
A black-tie crowd has gathered in the historic Paramount Studios to await a huge light and laser show at what may be the city's best-known landmark, the Hollywood sign.
There are city-sponsored celebrations at five other sites, where thousands will watch the show on giant television screens.
Rain has kept down the crowd somewhat, but not the enthusiasm.
With more on the nation's celebration, here again is Dan Ravine.
David Dow live in Los Angeles.
Here's an ironic Y2K computer glitch.
The nation's official timekeeper, the U.S.
Naval Observatory, on its website reported the date the year 19-1-0-0.
They fixed it now.
From Times Square, New York, this is CBS News.
Um, excuse me.
This ain't buenos dias to the new century in Puerto Rico.
Reporter Gary Twoman of CBS affiliate WOSO in San Juan says some people are celebrating the new year by living dangerously.
What goes up must come down.
That's been the real fear here in several neighborhoods as people fired off hundreds of rounds of bullets into the air to welcome in the new year.
So far, no reports of injuries.
That could come later.
In the capital, San Juan, the celebration of thousands of revelers not at all dampened as the rain began to pour just at midnight.
And what many are surprised at, there have been no Y2K rollover problems.
Don't bother wishing San Francisco artist and writer Duane Neutron a happy new millennium.
He and about a dozen other folks took to the streets of San Francisco to protest what he says is millennium hype.
Neutron says the millennium doesn't really begin until next year.
Besides, the whole calendar thing is entirely arbitrary.
He says this Y2K hoopla just makes people spend and drink too much.

If you're outside the country, way far away somewhere, we've got a special What's this?
Pentagon reports temporary communications problem?
CNN's area.
Now what's this?
Pentagon reporting a temporary communications problem with what?
With who?
Now they're not smiling as much on CNN.
What's going on?
Hmm.
Hmm.
The Pentagon is reporting some sort of communication problem.
And I don't know what that means, but they're looking fairly serious about it there.
Whatever it is.
Well, here we are anyway.
Whatever it is that is happening, we'll get word to you shortly.
If you're outside the country and you would like to report how it's going out there, We have a special number for you, and we are asking tonight Canadians to come in on the east or the west of the Rockies line, which you can use, leaving the international line open for great distance.
And that number, you call the AT&T operator and have her call 800-893-0903.
Call 800-893-0903.

Oh, I see they're clapping.
That's good, I guess.

West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
Hello.
Hey, Art.
This is Tyler in Oregon.
How you doing?
I'm doing pretty good, man.
How about you?
Just fine.
All right.
I'd like to make a prediction that I think World War III is going to break out.
World War III?
Yeah.
During this next year?
Yes, sir.
During this year, I guess I had as well.
It's not this year here yet.
Why do you think that's going to happen?
Well, just how everything is going right now, man.
Just look at it.
China has given us that Panama Canal and all this, man.
Well, the Panama Canal, wrenching as it was to give it up, it went smoothly.
China is going to have some sort of contract to run it.
I don't much like that.
I'm a little concerned about Mr. Yeltsin.
You know, chucking it in right at the Millennium.
So, all right, I'll put you down.
That's clear.
World War III.
On the International Line, you're on the air.
Hello.
Hello, Art.
Hi.
How are you doing tonight?
Pretty good.
Where are you?
I don't know.
I heard sort of half the announcement of I'm calling from Saskatchewan.
I hope that's far enough.
Well, I was kind of trying to hold the International Line open for Beyond, but I'll take your call.
Oh, well, thank you.
You're welcome.
It's Mike calling from Saskatoon.
Saskatoon.
Yes.
We had no problems up there and everything seems to be going off without a hitch.
Can you say Saskatoon, Saskatchewan three times fast?
Uh, yeah, I can.
Let me hear it.
Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.
Alright, fine.
Did I pass that?
I couldn't do it.
Yeah, you passed that one, but now I've got one you can't do, I bet.
It's even easier.
And you're going to fall all over yourself.
Are you ready?
Okay.
I want it three times fast.
All right.
Unique New York.
Not bad.
Well, anyway, you got your own country, right?
Excellent.
All right.
Number 49, if you want to make a prediction.
I sure do.
Okay.
I didn't hear the earlier part of this show because our perceptor doesn't carry it.
But I'm going to say there's going to be a nuclear exchange between Pakistan and India this year.
Yeah, that's possible.
Well, I would say that's probably probable.
In fact, you know, there's so much tension there right now with this last little hijacking incident.
I would say it's a powder keg waiting to happen.
I gotcha.
I don't like it, but I gotcha.
Alright, you're down.
What number was I again?
Number 49.
Excellent.
All right.
Thank you very much, sir.
Thank you for the call, and I would just ask that the Canadians free up the international line so that the Israels and the Japans and the Malaysias and the Australias and so forth can get through.
Because there are a lot of you, I know, to the north in Canada.
You can use the other lines, incidentally.
International line, you're on the air.
Hello.
Sorry to call you.
I'm calling you from Canada, but if you're keeping an eye on CNN, they just came through with a report out of the Pentagon that they're having some Y2K problems at the Pentagon with their military intelligence system.
That just came on the air about five minutes ago.
Their military intelligence system?
Correct.
Uh, and Bernard Shaw, I think that's his name?
Yes, yes, Bernie Shaw.
Who's, who's on CNN, asked a reporter from the Pentagon, don't you think it's rather odd for this sort of thing to appear?
And they couldn't give any response, but I just wanted to phone you to let you know that that just happened right now.
They didn't specify what was going on, but Bernard did ask.
It, it seems that this is happening tonight.
And given last night with, uh, With our President Yeltsin resigning coincidentally, and now this?
Yeah, yeah.
Change report?
Yeah.
Happy evening.
Uh, yeah.
Thank you.
Same to you.
Of all the people to be having a problem, you know, we expected private sector problems, but, uh, good Lord, the Pentagon was the one that you would expect they would have down, uh, cold, and it's the first source of a big report of a problem.
Uh-huh.
Well?
It may be an interesting evening, yeah.
Why would they report it?
Why would the Pentagon report that, do you think?
That's the kind of thing you would think they would not report.
I sure hope it's not a problem in communication with the new setup they've got going to Russia.
They're showing scenes now on CNN of Boise, Idaho.
Kaboom, kaboom.
As the Mountain States, the Mountain Time Zone States, celebrate like crazy.
East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
Hello.
Hello.
Hi.
Is this our pal?
It is.
Good morning.
I'm a longtime listener.
I've only called once or twice.
How are you today?
Just fine.
Where are you?
I'm from Rochester, New York.
Rochester, all right.
Yep.
And I just called first to wish you a Happy New Year.
I've been listening for a long time.
Thank you.
And I appreciate the show.
Okay.
And I have a prediction for you.
It will be rounded number 50.
Okay.
What is it?
The prediction is that during the upcoming year, wars are going to break out in certain Middle East countries.
And the United States, like they usually do, is going to try to come in to make peace.
But that's just going to cause more problems.
And there's going to be turmoil around the world.
But it probably won't be settled.
At least I hope so.
So war is in the Middle East, huh?
Yeah.
Okay.
I appreciate your call, sir, and I hope you're wrong.
I hope so, too.
That wouldn't be something we would want on the Middle East.
We heard from Israel a little bit earlier.
International Line, you're on the air.
Hello.
Hello there.
Hello.
Hello?
Yes, hello there.
Hello, is this Art?
Yes, this is Art.
Where are you calling from?
I am calling from Melbourne, Australia.
Melbourne, Australia.
Well, well, well, well.
The new Millennium has been in place down in Melbourne for quite a while now.
It is quarter past six in the evening.
Quarter past six in the evening.
All right, well listen, what kind of reports are you getting locally in Australia?
How are things going down there?
Is everything smooth?
Everything is Y2 OK.
Y2 OK.
Everything here was Y2 OK until a few minutes ago, and we got kind of a worrisome report about the Pentagon.
Maybe it's nothing.
I just saw that on CNN.
Oh, you did?
Yeah.
Doesn't it strike you strange?
There goes the ball I see on CNN hitting the Discover card again.
Doesn't it strike you as strange that the Pentagon would be the one reporting problems?
Oh, it does, yeah.
It seems a little strange, but I guess, I think they just said it was some type of communication problem, but I think that they said it was, they said temporary communication problem.
Yeah, but what kind of problem?
Like, Boris, Boris, are you there, Boris?
Boris, what is it?
Boris, what is it?
It could be anything.
It could be anything, but I just wanted to tell you I've been a big fan.
I've been listening via the internet for a couple of months now and keep up the good work.
I just love your show.
All right, my friend.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Happy New Year.
Good day, mate.
That's Melbourne, Australia.
We're at SWAT 6 at night and well into the end of the new year.
Can't hear you, Boris!
Speak up!
What did you say is in the air?
First time qualifying, you're on the air alone.
Yeah, hi.
This is Mitch from Columbus, Ohio.
Hi Mitch, how are you doing?
Good.
I just wanted to call and let you know that at 12.02 Eastern Time, we lost power here in the west side of Columbus.
What?
Yeah, and it was reported on the news that it was not Y2K-related.
The whole west side of Columbus, Ohio?
Yes.
And it wasn't Y2K-related?
No, they said it was just an equipment problem.
Do you personally believe that?
No.
No?
No, but the power has come back on, so they fixed whatever it was.
Whatever it was, they either worked around it or whatever.
I wonder how many other areas of the country had sort of failures like that.
I don't know, but they got it back on.
It was on for about an hour, then it went off for a couple minutes, and then they got it back on again.
Uh-huh.
But it's not due to Y2K, according to the power company.
So they say, huh?
Yeah.
Well, do you want to make a prediction for the year?
Well, I predict that our power will go off again a few more times.
We'll just put down power problems.
Okay.
All right?
Thank you.
Thank you very much for the call.
Take care, Columbus.
But it's not Y2K related.
Yeah, it occurred at 12.02, but it's not Y2K related.
Now, here is something that I do wonder.
How much are we really hearing about?
How much are we really hearing about?
Do I imagine that our media might hold back from us?
No, not our media.
They wouldn't do that, would they?
Sure they would.
You bet they would.
I don't know that they're doing that.
I mean, it's been pretty good up until now.
But anybody out there who thinks that the Y2K The problematic time is over because we've raced around the world without serious problems so far.
You're wrong.
When the world goes back to work again, we're going to get another little bit of a jolt and we're going to find out a whole lot more.
We'll see.
There's somebody on CNN with a Hollywood sign.
At least it's still lit up for now.
West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
Hello.
Is this ARP?
Yes, it is.
Extinguish your radio, please.
Okay, just saying.
Holding on for that.
Wherever it is you are.
You should have that radio close so you can do that right away.
Okay.
All right, where are you?
This is Brother Billy from Seaside, Oregon.
Our power just blinked here.
Yes, hi, Brother Billy.
How are you doing?
Good.
I was calling to let you know that everything seems to be okay so far.
Of course, we haven't hit midnight yet.
That's right, we haven't.
Did you hear the guy from Columbus?
Yes, I did.
He said the whole part of Columbus lost power at 12.02 and they immediately said it's not Y2K related.
Oh, it's just a coincidence.
I do have a prediction I want to give you, but first I want to say I would really like to have you bring on a couple of guests.
Sir Lawrence Gardner.
Familiar?
Sir Lawrence Gardner?
Yes.
I should know that name, but I don't.
I'm a genealogist, I guess you would say, for the 33 royal families.
Oh, really?
Yes.
Okay.
And I would suggest him and David Hudson.
Okay.
Alright.
Okay.
Anyway, the prediction would be that everything being somewhat okay for Y2K, not the big problems that everyone assumed, The economy is going to pretty much soar initially.
We're going to see the stock market go up, might even reach $15,000.
And then?
Of course, it has to correct itself.
What goes up?
Must go down.
So, a market rise and then a correction?
Yes.
How much of a correction?
I don't think it'll be as bad as it was in the depression, but I think you'll see a considerable drop.
Okay, gotcha.
Possibly $15,000 is what it'll go up to.
Ah, well that would really be something, wouldn't it?
$15,000.
All right, thank you very much for the call and we'll be right back.
Here's one from Debbie of California.
Well, now that is dated copy.
Just a few more days until Y2K.
Well, actually out here just a few more minutes.
Actually, and across most of the nation already has occurred that's dated copy, but the concept remains sound.
Of course, I am just over the hill from Las Vegas, Nevada, which is probably going to be the next focus as I come out here to the West Coast.
They're going to look at Las Vegas.
And right now on the Strip, man, I'll bet you it is ripping.
And they're going to be showing photographs of that.
There's going to be a lot of people on the Strip.
That's going to be a wild time.
Just over the hill from me.
All right.
We are taking predictions and doing whatever else.
If you're somewhere far away, get hold of the AT&T operator.
And have her call 800-893-0903.
That's 800-893-0903.
And we'll take your comments on what's going on.
West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
Hi.
Hi, this is Anthony in Spokane.
Yes, sir.
Yeah, I've been listening to Christian Radio tonight.
take your comments on what's going on.
Really?
Yeah.
Why?
I think they wanted their Y2K.
They wanted trouble?
Yeah.
Yeah.
You know, I find that hard to believe.
I mean, I guess there are some religious groups that want trouble and will be saddened if this is not, you know, I guess some thought, well, you know, God's coming back.
He's going to do it now.
Well, yeah.
Y2K means imminent rapture to a lot of Christians.
I always thought that the Bible said that nobody is going to know the time.
Isn't that what Christians really believe?
That nobody is going to know when?
Yeah.
None of these people were saying that they knew the exact time, but they were looking for signs.
uh... you know encouraging you know of imminent deliverance
on other words this could have been one of those moments but it was
yeah and uh...
the actually were uh...
working thing that it might be necessary to
uh... well that's really sick That's the kind of stuff the FBI is looking at.
I don't believe that's mainstream Christianity at all.
These are just callers.
See, these are whack jobs.
Absolute whack jobs.
We've done enough that might go wrong by itself without some idiot bringing it on.
They should have screened those calls out personally.
Oh, it's true.
Oh, I love you.
You showed me how to say exactly what you say in that very special way

Good morning everybody.
We are greeting the new year.
At the new millennium.
And we're doing it all together.
And it's kind of neat.
So stick with us.
Are we out of the woods entirely yet?
No, not entirely.
but things are going pretty well.
The Sanjean DT 200V is a really, really, really cool radio.
It's about the size of a pack of cigarettes.
It's black in color.
Beautiful.
It's got a white digital display.
It operates on two AA batteries and goes and goes and goes and goes until the Energizer Bunny's on his back with all fours in the air.
I mean, this sucker really goes.
It has It has the most amazing AM sensitivity for something this size that you've ever seen in your whole life.
It rivals big radios.
It has FM with FM stereo.

In fact, you've got to call the Sea Crane Company.
They're going to close at midnight tonight, Pacific Time.
That's 23 minutes from now.
So you can call and get the Sanjean DD-200V right now.
You can get the CC recorder.

All of these things you can get for the next 23 minutes at a bargain price.

They've got something going with everything.
The number to call is 1-800-522-8863.
That's 1-800-522-8863.
The C. Crane Company.
They're still there, they're up right now, and they await your call.
With so many vitamin C's out there, my patients often ask me which one I recommend.
Dr. Ronald Hoffman, physician and nutritionist.
When it comes to vitamin C, the answer is simple.
I recommend Ester-C.
Vitamin C helps maintain bones, cartilage...
Now, what would the new millennium be without hearing from the pagan side of things?
I know a real witch.
You heard her before.
Her name is Evelyn Paglini, and here she is.
Evelyn, hi!
Hi, and Happy New Year!
Oh, the very same to you.
Well, you're in California, right?
Yeah, we're just about ready.
About 20 minutes.
Bring in the Year of the Dragon.
Is that what it's going to be?
The Year of the Dragon?
Yes, it's the Year of the Dragon.
And you know what, Art?
Because it's got a double zero, I'm looking at it as snake eyes.
I think we better strap ourselves in and get ready for a very bumpy ride.
I'm going to put that down actually as a prediction.
Well, thank you.
Gear of the Dragon.
And you think it's going to be a bumpy ride, huh?
Very much so.
I feel that this winter and spring, the weather severity is going to cost us plenty.
And I also feel that there is going to be a wonderful find.
That will be uncovered in the Antarctic of an ancient civilization that will tell us a little bit more about our roots.
You probably mean as the Antarctic continues to melt.
That's right.
All of a sudden, one day they'll look out across the ice and they'll be at the top of a building, a skyscraper.
Yeah, absolutely.
I wish, you know, normally the year of the dragon can be very fortunate, but I'm feeling more chaotic I'm feeling people are going to come out and assert themselves, but in a negative, not in a positive way.
And so I'm very worried about this year.
Nothing is going to be in concrete.
It will shift in an instant.
One day will be phenomenal and we'll be very optimistic, and then you're going to get hit with a thunderbolt.
Come on.
Right out of nowhere.
Out of nowhere.
So that's why I'm saying strap yourself in.
Well, I have some of the same feeling, but you know, as I watched TV earlier tonight, everything was going so smoothly around the world.
Oh, yes.
And to some degree still is.
It felt hopeful.
Oh, I want to be optimistic.
I think it's wonderful to see the entire world all at once shake hands to the year 2000.
Well, I guess that's going to happen, but maybe it's like we're fighters.
Shake hands, you know, just before you come out sparring.
Yeah.
That's what I'm really worried about.
I'm going to say again, the year of the dragon, fire is going to breed, and the double zero snake ice.
Well, I want to thank you for all you have done for me and my family.
Oh, thank you.
I want you to have a wonderful, magical New Year.
I will, and I wish that to you and your entire audience.
Okay, hon.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Good night.
That's Evelyn Paglini, and she's a real McCoy.
A witch.
So we're sort of spotting the night with people, as you can tell that we know.
I've got something I want you to hear.
Now, this is the Dana Ray Band.
Do you remember the Dana Ray Band?
They sang a Y2K song.
Remember that?
Remember the Y2K Dana Ray Band song?
Well, the Dana Ray Band has now done, in view of, you know, the way things are going right now, at least most of them, the Dana Ray Band has prepared a special piece for you tonight with a bit of a different slant on things, and here it is.
Why was I so worried about Y2J?
Now there's a thousand cans of tuna fish standing in my way.
I'm tripping to the bathroom.
It's like walking through a maze.
Wish I'd never worried about New Year's Day.
It seemed like such a good idea in my mind.
Stock up on some food and water while you still have time.
You remember that old story?
The grasshopper and the ant.
They say the future's hard to see.
Well, I got news you can't.
What the Sam Hill was I thinking?
Was I just paranoid?
Now I'm hunkered in this bunker, trying to avoid the awful truth, it's over and everything's the same.
The jerk that wrote that other song, he's the one I blame.
Why was I worried about Y2K?
I was betting that the IRS was just gonna go away.
I maxed out all my Visa cards, thought I'd never have to pay.
Shoulda had a backup plan for a non-eventful day.
You should know, worry not, why 2K1.
It may lack a timex, but it's a long way.
Be prepared for the worst, it's really sad to say.
The Millennium is here, and everything's okay.
The world didn't stop, on New Year's Day.
Wait, there's more!
Sure glad I bought that generator and a hundred cans of gas.
Paid for with a rubber check.
Now I feel like such an asteroid's my only prayer.
Lord, please send one down.
Otherwise, they'll hang my picture up all over town.
The media stirred the people up.
I hope they're happy now.
I quit my job a week ago.
Even called my boss a cow.
My bridge is burned.
My goose is cooked.
I'm screwed in every way.
It's true, my world ended.
On New Year's Day.
Why was I so worried about Y2K?
There was a flaw in my theory.
My logic went astray.
My one chance for adventure is there's no dragons left to slay.
I wasn't the only here before.
On New Year's Day.
Why was I so worried about Y2K?
The world never really changes, and now there's hell to pay.
The weak old man will take my army surplus hangaways.
I'm changing my identity.
He's got no races left to play.
It's clear I had to disappear on New Year's Day.
I know, I'll leave a note to say I was abducted by the Greys.
Hey buddy, wanna buy a barely used bazooka?
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha That is the Dana Ray Band
And that is their After The Fact song Of course, they sang a very different tune, so to speak, during this last year, which we played any number of times, and that is their New Year's Day Retraction.
West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
Hello.
Hi, how are you doing, Art?
Okay, sir.
This is Robert in Boulder, Colorado.
Hi, Robert.
It's a pretty uneventful night down here.
So far so good, pretty much.
Yeah, I was just watching the guy on the news try the ATM machines and I think the big news around here is going to be how few people actually went out on New Year's Eve.
whether or not they're just anticipating trouble or they didn't feel like going out or whatever.
Actually in spots all across from actually from New York to Las Vegas to the spots where large
crowds were going to show a lot of people showed up but a lot of people stayed home and I think
you're right about that. A lot of people said, you know, I think I'd rather bring this in at home.
Yeah.
Hey, you know, Art, I never regretted buying some food because one time I decided to try some and the stuff I got was pretty good.
Oh, I know.
And I just kept on eating it until it was gone.
Well, you know, that's exactly... Well, you might have gone a little early here, but that's what I told people.
You're never going to go wrong stocking up on food because you can always eat your investment.
I mean, big deal.
Especially if you buy the good stuff.
That's right.
Yeah, no, that's exactly right.
Oh yeah, and I got a prediction, I guess.
Number 54 it shall be.
And it's sad, but I think we might see one sometime in January.
We'll probably see another school shooting.
Just the way the trends have been going.
Yeah, that's unfortunate, but I bet we're going to see a year of it too.
Yeah, and I think people sort of stopped talking about it while the Y2K was coming up here, but we'll be hearing about it again shortly, I'd imagine.
Let's hope that the millennium brings some sort of change to us all that stops some of the madness, because it has been madness.
It's really madness.
Well, have a happy New Year's, Art.
And to America, too.
You take care.
And everybody out there on our international line, you're on the air.
Hello.
Hi, Art.
Hello.
I'm calling from Winnipeg.
It's Mark.
Winnipeg.
All right.
Well, we're trying to hold our Canadian countdown on the international line just so we can hear from the rest of the world, but OK.
Oh, I just wanted to wish you a happy New Year.
Thank you.
And it's been New Year's here for about an hour and 40 minutes.
And everything goes well?
Yeah, everything's fine.
Obviously, your telephone is working.
Yeah.
Your lights are on.
Yeah.
And I'm watching you live on the Internet.
And you're watching me live on the Internet.
You know what, though?
There is something going on.
The Internet is very, very slow right now.
The Internet is moving at a snail's pace.
Yeah, I've noticed that.
But I think, you know, it's just because of the amount of traffic.
Yeah.
I would suppose.
All right.
Well, listen, thank you and Happy New Year to you.
Happy New Year.
Take care.
I'm trying to hold that line open.
For anywhere in Europe, Asia, Africa?
Wouldn't it be fun to hear from Africa?
I wonder if they could get through.
Somebody in Africa, give it a try.
Now the number is, you call the AT&T, you get the AT&T operator.
It's a free call, no matter where you are in the world.

West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
Hi Art!
This is Lance from Sand Falls, Oregon.
Hi, Lance.
Hi, how are you?
Awaiting in about ten and a half minutes the new year, as you are.
Ten and a half minutes.
Okay, I've got a prediction for the next millennium.
Okay.
I predict that we're going to see a... Okay, you've got to turn your radio off.
Okay, UFO going by California.
California, all of California?
Yes, from the south to the north, all the way up to Oregon.
Okay, south to north.
Got it.
Okay, I want to wish you and your wife a happy new year and good luck with everything else.
Just good luck to us all too.
Okay.
All right, see you later.
Good luck to us all.
About nine and one half minutes.
It's really racing toward me right now.
Well, you know, I can say no matter whatever else happens, I made it to the year 2000.
I bet there's a lot of people out there saying that.
You've got to think about it.
You've got to sit back and relax a little bit and think about it, that there are not many human beings who get to experience The thousand-year change.
I mean, there just aren't.
You are a very privileged group.
We are all a very privileged group to greet the year 2000.
To see it come and go.
It's an eventful thing for humanity, for all of us.
West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
Hi.
Hi.
Hello.
Who am I calling?
Well, now, with regard to who you're calling, you would know more about that than I would.
Oh, well, no, I was just dialing a number.
You were just dialing a number randomly?
Well, no, I was trying to reach Art Bell.
Uh-huh.
Well, who do you think you've reached?
Oh, I have no idea.
Um, guess for me.
Take a big guess.
Um... I don't know.
You really don't know, huh?
Well, you wanted what kind of piece of...
What kind of pizza?
Oh, I don't want any pizza.
No, thank you.
You did order one, anchovies, right?
Uh, no, no anchovies.
I can't stand anchovies.
No?
No.
Alright, well, alright.
Are you sure you're canceling this order, then?
No, no pizza.
Alright, well, alright, fine.
On the international line or on the air?
Hello?
Yeah, this is Dave from London, Ontario calling.
Dave, we're trying to hold this line for you.
Yeah, I just wanted to tell you about a Y2K clutch.
Oh, really?
Woodstock, Ontario.
Woodstock, Ontario?
I'm in London, Ontario.
My cousin just called me a while ago and said the power was all out in Woodstock.
It's about 50,000, 60,000.
Oh, no kidding.
Really?
Yeah.
So that's quite interesting.
When did it go out, did he say?
Well, I just talked to him and he said it was out for about, it's been out for about two and a half hours.
It's 2.52.
So I'm in London, Ontario, Canada here.
Oh, my.
So in other words, just after Just after midnight sometime.
Have the local authorities said it is not?
I haven't heard.
I'm just checking on the local news here to see if I can see anything.
We'll see if they say it is not Y2K related.
Yeah.
That seems to be the general comment tonight on most of the outages so far.
Okay.
All right.
Thank you very much for the call.
Well, that would be Woodstock, Ontario, huh?
You see, we just had a pretty good glitch here, too.
That's interesting.
Well, it may be that the grid is doing a little adjusting and so forth.
Ball card line, you're on the air.
Hello.
Hello, how you doing?
I'm doing okay.
Hey, I got a prediction for you.
You do?
Where are you?
I'm going across Illinois.
I'm a truck driver.
My name's Todd.
Okay.
And what do you predict for the year 2000?
Okay, I predict all the truck drivers are finally going to get together and go on strike.
You really think so?
Yeah, I think so.
I think it's about time they start standing up for themselves again.
Alright, well, are you trying to organize that by saying this or are you actually just predicting it?
Probably kind of both.
What is it that the truck drivers want?
Uh, I don't know, quite a bit.
Uh, I don't know, it's kind of, seems like there's just kind of, everybody's starting to go against us a little bit, and... Oh, no, no.
We, we, uh, we love truck drivers.
I live out here in the middle of the desert.
If it wasn't for truck drivers, I wouldn't have a damn thing out here, even toilet paper.
We need you.
We need you, yes.
Well, I mean, there's, you know, just like there's a few bad truck drivers, there's...
You only hear the words of the ones that are... The only bad truck drivers are the truck drivers that, when there's only two lanes, there's two trucks, and they go side by side.
Those are bad truck drivers.
With about a million cars behind them, and I know that they're talking on the CB going... You've never done that, have you?
I can't really tell you if I have or not.
Yeah, right.
Alright, well, good luck with your strike.
Thank you very much for the call.
Sure.
Yeah, take care.
You ever run into that on the road east of the Rockies?
You're on the air.
Hello?
Art.
Yes, turn your radio off.
I did.
Okay, where are you?
I am in Orlando, Florida.
Orlando, yes sir.
Orlando.
Yes.
And we did not get any of the stuff with Gordon Michael Stallion tonight.
Are you going to repeat that any time soon?
Oh, I'm sure we will.
And of course it'll be available on the net.
Do you have a computer?
No.
Well, then you have nothing that's going to fail, do you?
No.
Okay.
Well, all I can tell you is I'm sure they will repeat Gordon.
They always do.
When Gordon speaks, everybody listens.
Right, and we were dying to hear what he had.
Maybe you could give us a few highlights.
And just what was it that the Orlando affiliate was doing that was so important?
They were covering Lake Eola's fireworks.
That's all right.
We'll get a repeat on for you, all right?
Or give us a couple of highlights, even tonight.
That would be exciting.
Let me think about that.
Okay.
All right.
I think I want to play this for Mr. Harrison.
The Millennium approaches, folks.
It's on the way to the West Coast.
Just minutes, about three minutes now, and It'll sweep right over the West Coast into the Pacific Ocean, headed toward Hawaii and Alaska.
Happy New Year!
I'm Art Bell.
And Ramona Bell.
My sweet love.
Mmm, my love.
I really wanna see you, really wanna be with you, really wanna see me love, but it takes
so long to follow.
I see you.

The Hollywood sign is lit up in multiple colors.
It is the Hollywood sign as never seen before in this city.
Lit up by lasers and lights and the cheering of people here at the Paramount Studios in Hollywood and across the city at civic celebrations all over this bar-flung city.
Hollywood in Technicolor, lit up, dotted with color and lasers as this city has never seen it before.
The new millennium has reached Hollywood.
With New Year's festivities on the Las Vegas Strip, here's Steve Butterman in Las Vegas.
Well, they're celebrating here as well on the Las Vegas Strip.
You may hear the crowd in the background.
The Las Vegas Strip has been shut down for several hours as tens of thousands of people gathered here.
And when the final seconds were being counted down, you could hear the crowd chanting 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
Some fireworks went off, but just a celebration going on here in Las Vegas.
Now, last year, there were some disturbances after the new year began.
So far, though, police say there have been no problems.
There have also been no computer problems, major computer problems, that is, anywhere throughout the world.
Let's get the latest from the Y2K desk and CBS News correspondent, Barry Bagnall.
The crisis that wasn't.
That's what Y2K has turned out to be, at least so far.
Some power plants experienced glitches, but nothing major.
In fact, no American utility has reported an outage.
Trains and planes are operating normally.
ATMs are dispensing money.
White House Y2K coordinator John Koskinen warns developing countries may not yet be out of the woods.
I will not be surprised, and I don't think anybody should be surprised, if we start to see problems reported.
In the next three or four days in some of those countries with their operating systems.
Live now from New York's New Year's hotspot, Times Square, here's CBS News correspondent Dan Raviv.
All went well three hours ago when the multicolored ball made of almost 700 halogen lights plus mirrors came down the pole high above Times Square.
New Yorkers and out-of-towners totaling around one and a half million people filled the square.
We drove down from Canada, 10 hour drive to get here, so we're in here for the long haul.
What's it been like?
What's it been like?
Well, it's kind of crushing in from the back here.
It's a little tight squeeze, that's all, but yeah, it's a lot of fun.
Taste the animal.
Yeah, taste the animal.
It's worth it.
Definitely worth it, because it's the millennium.
Once in a lifetime.
Similar story in Washington, D.C., where President Clinton, his wife Hillary, and daughter Chelsea joined over 100,000 people enjoying fireworks.
The sky above Washington's stark white landmarks.
The Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument looks like a giant sparkler.
Streams of blue and gold fireworks and red, white and blue laser beams are filling the first morning of the year 2000.

My credit report from FreeCreditReport.com showed me an open account I'd forgotten about.
Just call... It's all over peacefully in the Kansas City suburb of Olathe.
A female suspect who'd been holding several people hostage inside a bank has surrendered.
She was taken into custody.
There was a weapon involved.
No one was injured.
Police Lieutenant Joe Pruitt.
We just believe it's a bank robbery gone bad.
Authorities plan to charge the woman in a few hours.
Speaking to a huge crowd of young people in St.
Peter's Square in Rome, Pope John Paul II has summed up the century that's now coming to an end.
What suffering, what dramatic events, but also what incredible achievements.
They've been pretty busy at a help hotline in Pittsburgh, taking calls from kids who were worried about Y2K.
Officials say many children don't quite know what all the fuss is about.
One seven-year-old boy called to say he was afraid to go outside because he was worried terrorists were coming.
The counselor reassured him.

It certainly is and it is here.
The year 2000.
Well, we made it here on the West Coast.
How about that?
Listen, I've got two things for you.
One is I took a remarkably cool webcam shot right at the moment of There's a lot of zeros in there, I'll tell you.
That was pretty close.
So, check it out.
Check out the photo on my webcam right now, it's kind of cute.
I think that I'm going to leave it up there.
Other than that, the streaming video continues, and I might add, I've got this little guy, this little fuzzy animal, and when you squeeze his right hand, I don't know if you're going to be able to hear this or not, I'm going to try, you squeeze this little I don't exactly know what he is.
He's a millennium creature of some kind, I suppose.
It's a Tickle Wiggle.
A Tickle Wiggle.
Alright, watch this.
Listen to this.
It's not going to do it.
It's not going to do it!

Welcome to the YouTube Event!

All of this from a little, a little tickle wiggle, whatever in the world it is, emanating
from his belly here.
Take him away.
Oh my God, he's going to do it again.
Happy 2000!
Happy 2000!
No, I will inform everyone that we are making our own time capsule of all this Millennium stuff.
And we're going to bury it really deep.
We're going to bury it really, really, really deep.
Alright.
Thanks.
That's a cute picture we did.
So if you get an opportunity, take a look at the studio camera.
And I have had one glass of champagne.
So, uh, that's all.
So it should, uh, should be a remaining, uh, interesting remaining portion of the show.
Now, uh, they're showing a shot on CNN of somebody in Seattle.
It looks pretty windy in Seattle, I would say, right now.
And, um, she's got a big jacket on, and I wonder what's going on.
Well, what's going on in Seattle?
You tell me.
West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
Hi.
Hey, Art.
Hey, there.
Good to be, uh, We're out in New Mexico, and everything seems to be fine.
But I just really think there's going to be a terrorist act out in Seattle.
Oh, you do, huh?
Well, apparently Seattle thought so, too, because, of course, they called off the major celebration there.
Yeah, and I'm from the San Francisco Bay Area originally, and I'm kind of glad I'm not there as well.
San Francisco?
Yeah.
The thing about terrorism is, thank God we haven't had it yet, but it can happen anywhere.
You know, the last place that anybody thought that a building would blow up would be in Oklahoma, and that's where it happened.
So I don't know, I wouldn't say anywhere is safe.
Well, I was... And all of us have got to stay on the alert.
Yeah, I was commuting on that bridge that collapsed and left town right before that happened back in the big earthquake.
You were commuting.
I'm hearing something.
What's all that in the background?
Oh, it's our little party.
I'm in the other room now.
You know, when that superstructure collapsed and all those people were trapped in the... Yes.
...in that highway.
Yes.
That's where I used to commute to work on a daily basis.
Right around that time I would have been on that highway.
But you got out of there before that occurred.
Yeah, I moved out of town and I just have a bad feeling now about the Bay Area.
Well, everybody's always nervous about the Bay Area.
Everybody's always nervous and they have reason to be because there's a big thought line there and every now and
then it hiccups To make this commercial
Okay, um, very good.
We have got to get our little sound on there and And then we'll be back underway.
Little Sound, where are you?
All right.
West of the Rockies, you are on the air.
Hi.
Hi, Art.
Hello.
This is Doug in Burlington, Wyoming.
Hi, Doug.
How are you doing?
Oh, pretty good.
I would like to make a prediction.
It will be number 57.
Okay.
We're listening to you on three different stations, by the way.
That's past stereo.
Well, my wife's on one end of the house, a buddy of mine's on the other end of the house, and I've got the radio on in the living room, and I'm here in the back.
Oh, I see.
All right.
Gordon Michael Scallion hasn't missed over about 94 percent, if I remember right.
Yeah, he's got a very high rate of hit.
Oh, I would say he's going to make about 96 to 98 the next year.
In other words, you agree with what you heard?
Yes, sir.
We've been listening to you since the minute you came on.
My wife and I listen to you every night.
This is going to be my first eight-hour program.
I used to do six-hour programs as a matter of course for about ten years.
Yes, sir.
But this will be my first eight-hour job.
We wish to the good Lord above that you do eight hours every night.
You must be a Wiccan.
Uh, no.
I'm just kidding you.
I work nights.
I'm a heavy equipment operator.
I work nights and my wife listens to you whether I'm home or not.
And we've listened to you, I've listened to you for years.
Well, thank her for me, please.
Oh, she's listening on the other radio on the other end of the house.
You just did.
What's her first name?
Benny.
Benny.
Alright, well, you just said hi to her.
Okay.
Thank you.
Thank you, sir.
And a Happy New Year to you.
Well, now Hawaii and our Alaskan friends await.
I understand that finally it is so cold in some parts of Alaska with ice fog that they're not going to be able to fire off the fireworks.
Is that true?
Remember, on our international line, if you would like to reach us from somewhere else in the world, simply get hold of the AT&T operator and have her call 800-893-0903.
And on the first time call our line, you're on the air.
Hi.
Hi Art, how are you doing?
three and on the first time caller line you're on the air hi hi Art how are you doing all right
Great.
This is Chris from Orlando, Florida.
WDBO 580.
Hi, Chris.
Hi, how are you?
Okay, let's see.
My prediction is that Ramona will have a spiritual experience this year that will be life-changing, in my opinion.
That's what I think.
And I love your show, and here's a Y2K update from Central Florida.
All right.
Our crossing arms for the train here in DeBerry. We're just bouncing up
and down last night and this afternoon. And we should... You're kidding? No, uh-uh. Just
the lights were going and the arms were going up and down and kind of bouncing. Well,
how do you get across that?
I kind of drove around.
I drove through.
You're sort of waiting for the right timing and you dash across?
Yeah, I inched up and I looked both ways.
It looks safe, though.
But it's probably not Y2K related.
You know, I've watched CNN since 5 a.m.
this morning, so I sound a little tired.
It's going to end up all day, but...
Everything, every glitch that's gone wrong, they've said, and it's not Y2K compliant.
I know, related.
Yeah, that's right.
I know.
Right, related.
Including some pretty big power outages, too.
Yeah, that's what I've heard.
That I've been hearing about.
All right, thank you very much.
Yeah, that's true.
I guess there's a kind of a bias to... toward not reporting problems, but surprisingly, then, earlier, the Pentagon was reporting some sort of communication difficulty, which I found...
Really surprising, because if you're going to avoid reporting things that are occurring in the general population that are really not so serious, why would you go to the Pentagon and why would they report something?
Odd, huh?
East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
Hi.
Art Bell.
Yes, sir.
I'm so glad to hear from you again.
Glad you called me.
I didn't call you.
You called me.
Gosh.
That's weird.
I just thought you wanted to talk to me.
Well, anyhow, I bet you'd like a report on the Santa Fe Railroad.
Railroad, wouldn't you?
Oh, what's going on with the Santa Fe?
Well, I'm in Wellington, Kansas, about a half a mile from the very main line of the Santa Fe Railroad.
Yes, sir.
There hasn't been a train through all night long.
Usually.
So, in other words, they actually stop traffic.
They shut them down.
Well, that'll prevent a glitch.
That'll prevent a train wreck, anyhow.
Yeah, no trains are not going to wreck.
Anyhow, I thought you'd like to know that as a precautionary measure, they just shut the line off.
Yeah, you're right.
I mean, a lot of things have actually shut down.
A lot of transportation.
I know the airlines are operating between 20 and 35 percent below averages.
They've shut down some communication.
They've shut down some computer systems and blah, blah, blah.
A lot of things are shut down.
Usually about every 15-20 minutes we have a mile long break.
You go east or west here blowing your whistles with great vigor.
They do that in the middle of the night and wake your butt up.
It keeps the population constant here.
I can understand this.
You have 30,000 people in Pahrump and one traffic light.
I know we have another coming soon.
We've got 9,000 people in Wellington and probably six or seven traffic lights.
Do you really?
Yeah, but the railroad has kept the population stable here for 40 years.
Wakes people up at night, nothing else to do, so it keeps the population stable.
Well, apparently your town council must have nothing else to do.
They just keep buying traffic lights.
At least we're making improvements.
They took two of them out.
I've got a prediction.
What number will it be?
59.
59.
Well, the Messiah will not return in the year 2000.
And what do you base that on?
Bible studies.
But in the Bible it says nobody will know.
So it could as easily be 2000 as not.
Yeah, but by the same time, it says that if you see clouds coming out of the west, you know there's a storm coming, when the wind blows from the south, you know it's going to be warm.
It gives you several things to look at as a sign before the Messiah comes.
These signs are not in place yet.
Okay.
All right.
That's what I'll base it on.
No Messiah in 2000.
I got you, sir.
Good to talk to you, Eric.
Thank you.
And the trains are not running?
Yeah, I think they've done that, actually, with It was quite a number of systems that they were concerned about.
They simply shut them down.
Now, will there be problems over the next few days?
Yes, I suspect so.
But you have to admit, the early going, with regard to the Millennium, has been damn good.
I mean, you've got a whole world to worry about out there.
And there are going to be some sporadic problems, and we're having a few of them, but nothing too serious yet.
Once in the Rockies, you're on the air.
Hello?
Yes, turn your radio off.
Okay.
Turn it off, please.
All right, sir.
Okay, where are you?
Anchorage, Alaska.
Oh, Anchorage, huh?
Yep.
How cold is it up there?
Oh, probably about ten below.
Ten below?
Yep.
Um, I guess it must be a lot colder in Fairbanks, because I'm hearing they had to cancel the fireworks.
Oh.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
I heard it was colder.
I don't know about the fireworks, though.
What can I do for you, sir?
I have a prediction for the New Year.
Alright, number 60.
What is it?
Are you familiar with the rock group Milli Vanilli?
Oh, Milli Vanilli, yes.
Yes.
One of them overdosed or something and he died.
And so my prediction will be that aliens will bring him back on the 5th of September next year.
And they'll do a reunion tour.
Really?
Yes.
Will it really be Milli Vanilli this time?
I believe it will be.
Well, they'll have an alien-enhanced voice.
Goodbye.
First time calling the line, you're on the air.
Hello.
Hi, Art Bell?
Yes.
How are you?
Pretty well, thank you.
And Happy New Year.
And the very same to you.
Thank you.
I'm calling from, like, Tip City, Ohio.
Okay.
And I just had a little funny observation tonight.
Nothing happened, of course.
Everything's cool.
The world didn't blow up.
And I was going to pick up a friend because when the world didn't blow up, we decided to go have a donut and a cup of coffee.
It was our big excitement for the night.
Are you in the police force?
No.
No, not at all.
But there were eight law enforcement officers in a little town called West Carrollton, Ohio, that surrounded one car.
And I thought, my God, what did this person do?
What did they do?
Uh, had a flat tire.
The eight policemen had a flat tire?
Yeah, it was a little bit of an over-response, maybe.
I don't know.
Did they change the tires of the person?
No.
No, they just, they all were standing looking at it when we left.
They were supervising?
Yeah, I think so.
Yeah, I think they were bored.
I really think that they expected more, you know, to be going on in the world and nothing was going on.
So they went, hey, you guys, this guy's got a flat tire.
Looks like I'll go over there.
They did.
Oh my God, a flat tire.
Code 3.
I have a prediction for you too.
Yes.
On the 186th day of the year 2000, I predict that all across the United States, in every state, in every city, in every little town, People will be celebrating with fireworks and picnics and eating hot dogs and... Fourth of July!
What do you make me?
I'm not going to write that down!
That's not a prediction, that's a sure thing!
Well, yeah, that's the kind of predictions that... You're like the guy who watched Boris Yeltsin resign on CNN and quickly called me last night and said, Boris Yeltsin's going to resign!
Well, I'm sorry.
I just... I wanted to go with something that I could, you know, be pretty sure of.
Well, it's a sure bet, all right.
Okay.
I wish you and all of yours the best.
I enjoy your shows so much.
You're a breath of fresh air in this world.
Well, I'm here anyway.
Thank you.
Take care.
Wild Card Line, you're on the air.
Hello.
Hello, Art Bell.
Yes.
Happy New Year.
Same to you.
This is Damien calling you from the... Ah, Damien, the evil one.
Yes.
Well, not so evil now.
It's been quite joyous looking all around the world.
Everyone's having a good time.
You mean even Damien is having an uptime tonight?
Yeah.
Well, obviously it was kind of sad for me because... Haven't you pushed anybody down the steps or anything to brighten your night?
No.
I've got other levels, other parts of me that is more benevolent, believe it or not.
Not?
Not.
Anyway, what's up?
Well, I wanted to make a prediction.
A Damien prediction?
A Damien prediction.
Okay.
It'll be number 61 because I blew off the 186th day.
Oh, my.
I was hoping to be number 66.
Of course you were.
But, okay, the prediction is that you, Art, and I are going to meet in person.
Sometime between January 1st and December 31st.
Somewhere during the year?
Yeah.
You and I will meet in person and as we look into each other's eyes.
As I see your glowing red eyes bearing down on me.
Your life will come to enhance for the better.
It will enhance me for seeing your beet red eyes?
Yeah.
Your glowing red eyes?
Those glowing red eyes will enhance your life even better and greater.
And at the same time it will enhance my life too.
Forever?
A mutual exchange of energy.
Positive energy.
You know, I don't know about positive energy from somebody with a name like yours.
Well, there's many people with my name and there's also exceptions.
To the general rule that all Damians are... Right.
Push old ladies downstairs and stuff?
Yeah, right.
All right, Damian.
Well, you never know.
We just might meet.
That's true.
You're not in New York City, are you?
I'm in Massachusetts.
Massachusetts.
Well, I'm going to be in New York City pretty soon.
Well, I'm moving to New York City pretty soon.
Damian, I was supposed to already be there, as a matter of fact.
All right.
Later.
What's that song you're playing?
Do you remember it?
Can you name that song?
Let me see.
Come on, you gotta do it now.
Uh, I'd like a Roy Orbison.
Roy Orbison?
No, no, no.
Come on.
No, no, no.
Four Seasons!
I would have guessed that.
Is that your final answer, Damien?
Come on. No, no, no. Four seasons.
No, four seasons. I would have guessed that.
Yeah, you would have guessed that. Is that your final answer, Damien? Goodbye.
I don't want to be breaking up. Hang on, hang on, hang on.
Do what we got.
Do, do, do, do.
You say you're gonna go and call it quits.
Gonna jump in on and break our love to bits.
Breaking up. I wish you'd never say.
Breaking up.
AMI.
Look back on your... Let me be, why don't you, baby?
Get out my life, why don't you, baby?
Cause you don't really love me, you don't keep me hanging on.
It's here everybody.
Year 2000 has arrived.
How do you feel?
Do you feel any different?
I do a little bit.
Then again, that might be the glass of champagne.

This is Coast to Coast AM with Art Bell on the Premier Radio Network.
You know, it occurs to me that I've done all these oldies and...
I think I've got $100 for anybody who can name every single Oldie on any one of my CDs.
For example, the CD I've got right here.
And this gives you a lead because it's on right now.
But anybody who wants to call and thinks they want to take the $100 challenge, I can afford $100.
For just naming every song, when I play a few bars of it, now you miss one, that's it.
I'll let a couple of people try that.
I'll put a $100 bill at risk.
So if you think you're really good, and I mean you'd have to be really good, you let
me know and I'll let you take the Art Bell Year 2000 $100 challenge.
To make this commercial more believable.
you Oh
Well, I'm very sorry to be reporting a fatality in Las Vegas.
It seems a young man fell off a light pole and died instantly, I'm told, in Las Vegas just over the hill.
And I guess there's going to be some of that sort of thing going on.
There have been some arrested and so forth and so on.
But that's kind of a yearly event in Las Vegas.
Usually people don't die who fall off light poles.
But it depends, I suppose, on how you land, so that's very sad.
Yeah, that's it.
Anybody can do this and name every song on any given CD, and I have selected one here.
You've already got one of the songs on it.
If you can name the others, I will send you a personal check, an Art Bell, a Motabell, personal checking account check for $100.
Do I feel safe?
I hear my wife laughing in the other room.
It was either a laugh or a scream.
I can't tell which.
Do you think anybody could do that?
I don't.
That's what I think, too.
Money's safe.
First time caller on the line, you're on the air.
Hi.
Hello.
Hello.
Art Bell?
Yes, yes.
Hi, my name is Beth Cohn from Southgate, Michigan.
Southgate, Michigan.
Turn your radio off.
Okay.
That's what you've got to do when you get on the air.
Oh, I hear a little one there, too.
Yeah.
And that little one doesn't sound too happy.
Um, I heard earlier someone called from, I believe it was Columbus, and said that the power was out.
They did, yes.
Yeah, well, around 20 after 1, also here in East Point, the East Side of Detroit, the power was out.
Oh, it was?
Yeah, it was on the news.
They said it also didn't have anything to do with Y2K.
With Y2K, of course it didn't.
That's a lot of power failures that have nothing to do with Y2K.
That's what I said.
Well, would they lie to us?
You want to know the truth?
Yeah, absolutely.
Yeah?
Yeah, they would.
You're right.
You want to make a prediction?
I can't really think of anything.
I think that there's something going to go on with Russia within the next 90 days, but I don't know what it's going to be.
Well, probably nothing very good.
Alright, thanks for the call.
Take care.
Wildcard Line, you're on the air.
Hi.
Hi.
I just wanted to take the challenge.
You really think you could do it?
No.
But I would try.
Are you good?
I'm not terribly good, but I'm not bad.
Does that make sense?
Well, I don't know whether it does or not.
I mean, how old are you?
I'm 50.
Just turned 50.
Well, you might be able to do it.
All right.
What the heck?
Here we go, you ready?
Uh-huh.
You miss one, you're out.
Okay.
All right, here we go.
You only get a few bars, see, of each one.
Okay.
Okay, here it comes.
Got it?
Yeah.
Oh, well.
Oh, I have no idea.
No idea.
All right, well, others will now have an idea.
They now have probably two, because a lot of other people will have that one.
I mean, it wasn't that hard.
Really?
Is that what you think?
Nah, I wasn't even close.
Not even close.
Let's try it again.
Now listen, I'll give you a little more this time, alright?
If I give you too much, it's going to give you the title.
In fact, it will.
You still don't have it?
No, I sure don't.
You're one of them.
I am?
You are.
Now listen.
American woman, gonna miss you.
Wow, cool.
That's a really great old version.
Yeah.
You shouldn't have missed that one at all.
No, I shouldn't have.
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to take the time.
All right, American woman.
Thank you.
Sure, bye.
See you later.
My hundred's safe.
East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
Hello.
Hey, Art.
Hey.
All right, I think I can take the challenge.
I'm 27 years old, but I've got a pretty good idea of music.
Well, all right.
Fine.
Here we go.
And this is going to seem very repetitive, but... That's American Woman.
Okay, fine.
Good vibrations.
What is it?
Good vibrations.
Good vibrations?
Oh no, California Girls.
Alright.
Alright.
Is that your final answer?
Yeah, California Girls.
Alright.
That's right!
That's right!
That's right.
Alright, here we go again.
Day Tripper.
Day Tripper?
The Beatles?
That's your final answer, right?
Yeah.
Alright.
Oh man.
That one's got ya, huh?
You're gonna be sick.
Yeah, I know.
Oh man.
Don't let that buzzer sound.
All I can say is it was good talking to you.
I've been trying to get through for a million years.
Well, now I'm going to really make you sick, because that's the one that I played going into the last... It's called Working My Way Back to You by the Four Seasons.
I even named it, and that's the one you blew.
I know.
Well, what can I say?
All right.
Thanks for the call.
All right.
Bye.
Take care.
Now you have one, two, three, four, five, no, four.
You have four of them.
So I'm not going to let you have those.
I'm going to start at number five if somebody else wants to challenge.
On the international line, you're on the air.
Hello.
Hi, Art?
Yes.
I'm just wondering if you checked your email yesterday, or if you did.
If I checked my email when?
Yesterday.
Yeah, sure I did.
Yeah, um, I sent you an email, the youngest listener.
Um, yes, I saw your email.
Yeah, what'd you think?
Um, I thought it was, it's still there.
I mean, I haven't cleared it out yet.
It said your youngest listener.
Yeah, I started listening when I was ten.
Yes.
Yeah, I got hooked on your program.
And now you are how old?
Thirteen.
Do you want to make a prediction?
It's your one opportunity.
Okay, uh, what number will it be?
Sixty-two.
Sixty-two.
Yep.
Um, that you're going to be in the hospital?
Or abreast near death or something?
That I'm what?
You're gonna be in the hospital.
I'm gonna be in the hospital?
Yes.
Why?
I don't know, that's... I had a dream last night.
Really?
That, that you were in a hospital bed.
I was sick, huh?
Yeah, something.
That's pretty...
Downer prediction.
From my youngest listener.
Yeah.
All right, well listen, we'll see.
Okay.
All right, take care.
I've had worse.
I've had predictions that I will die, usually that I will be off the air.
That's been going on for the better part of 15 years now.
You're on, eventually they'll be alright.
You're on the air.
Hi.
Hi.
Yes.
Hi, how are you?
Fine.
Happy New Year.
Thank you.
I want to make a prediction.
It will be number 63.
Okay.
Following my being in the hospital.
Okay.
I hope that doesn't happen.
Yeah, me too.
I predict that society will be told about something serious and they will go into mass hysteria.
Oh, you mean like E.T.
presence, that kind of thing?
Um, I don't know.
Just something.
Just the way I saw people react today to just thinking of Y2K and the way they were in the stores.
Just was unbelievable.
How are they?
Where are you again?
I'm in Bakersfield, California.
Bakersfield.
And what were the stores like?
Crazy.
People were buying bottled water by the cart full.
There was no water.
They were arguing.
They were buying it right down to the individual bottles in the cases.
Really?
And like last minute, I just went to do my regular shopping and I stood in line for maybe 25 minutes just to go through the grocery line.
The gas lines were crazy.
I couldn't believe it.
It was unbelievable.
I'd never seen anything like it before.
Well, I know that a lot of people think it's all over now, but it's not.
No.
Not by a long shot.
No.
Actually, until we get into the business day next week, we're not going to know.
What we do know now is the power didn't go tumbling down, which is a good thing.
But there's still going to be a lot of disruption and it's going to begin next week.
Mark my words.
And people should have been prepared already, not wait until the very last day.
You're quite right.
I couldn't believe it.
It was scary.
I was really scared.
Well, people get a little strange when they get worried.
I guess.
I wasn't really worried.
I just went to do my regular shopping.
I was already prepared.
Yeah, but people can worry you.
Yeah, they did.
I was wondering, should I get more water?
I know.
Well, that's how it works.
Do you know that once Johnny Carson said that there was going to be a nationwide shortage of toilet paper?
And this is serious.
Everybody ran out and bought toilet paper.
They thought he was serious.
And there did become, you couldn't get toilet paper no matter what.
Oh my goodness.
It actually happened.
And the media can do that?
Yeah.
Yeah?
Yep.
It's strange.
Even I could do it.
I don't know what I would do it with, but... Well, I know that you can make it rain, so I'm happy with that.
No, no.
I didn't do that.
We did it.
You're right.
You did it.
All right, dear.
Thank you.
Okay.
Happy New Year.
Take care.
Wild Card Line, you're on the air.
Hi.
Yes.
Hi.
Hello.
We're from Portland.
How are you doing?
Fine.
Hi.
I'd like to take your challenge.
I've got every one of those songs so far.
Yeah?
Yeah.
All right.
I'm not going to give you the ones that I've already done.
No, that's OK.
I'm going to start you with a balance of this CD.
Just don't hit anything from the early 50s.
I'm good after 58.
Yeah, you get hit with what you get hit with.
All right, here we go.
You ready?
Yeah.
I saw her again.
You're good.
All right.
Monday, Monday.
Monday, Monday.
You're good.
You're scaring me here.
Hey, little girl.
Oh, my God.
You got it.
That's right.
It is little girl.
Look at this, folks.
This is a rare one.
I'm so sure he'd fall down on this one.
Hey, little girl.
You don't have to hide nothing no more.
All right.
Here we go.
Term and Hermit.
One second.
I'm going to hide with my loneliness.
Is that your final answer?
Yeah.
I don't know.
I know it's not the name, though.
It's still my 100.
What's the name?
Is that it?
That's it.
I got a prediction for you, too.
All right.
It'll be number 64.
I say that this year you're going to become the king of the herb-infused flavored oil pizza empire, and you're going to market and make a million.
I know you won't give the recipe away but I wish you would because I'm dying to try it.
I'll tell you what I'll do.
Which is the most incredible... I wouldn't eat pizza without that in a million years.
As a matter of fact, my wife has to make more. She can't keep me in the stuff.
Well, you know, I know you won't give the recipe away, but I wish you would because I'm dying to try it.
I'll tell you what I'll do. I'll have some made up, and we'll send it out to selected listeners and get their opinion.
Okay.
That sounds great.
Also, I'm sorry I missed Gordon earlier.
I was the guy I called on the West of the Rockies at the end.
Yes.
You know what I wanted to ask him was what he thought would happen if they actually put the capstone on.
Why they stopped him.
They must have been scared.
Try it.
The machine would turn on.
Yeah.
Alright.
And what was it that Daniel said?
Something about changing the Earth's magnetic field?
Uh, you mean, uh, Gordon?
Yes, well a lot of people are talking about that.
Oh yes, that there is a magnetic shift imminent.
That there's one that's going to occur.
And by the way, what Gordon had to say earlier tonight resonated with what Ed Dames has been saying now for about a year and a half with regard to the sun.
It was really close.
Everybody sounded alike.
It was starting to get scary.
You know what scared me more than anything else?
What?
You getting all those songs right.
Well, I'm 43 and you shouldn't have got me on that one.
I should have known the Hermann terms.
You have a happy New Year.
Alright, see you later.
Bye-bye.
Actually, it was Peter and Gordon.
We ought to do that.
We ought to make up some Pizza Punch and send it out to some people.
It's so unique.
It's so good.
We might try it.
It's just something that we have never somehow gotten around to.
But maybe we'll do that.
It is incredible stuff, folks.
Well, yeah, for a while.
They'll never get through all this.
There's no way.
You think they're going to make it through that, for example?
Or, say, that, for example?
No way.
They're not.
No way.
West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
Hello.
Uh, yeah, this is an update from Anchorage.
Yes, sir.
Um, I guess there was a bomb threat at downtown Anchorage about, uh, 30 minutes ago.
There was a bomb threat in Anchorage?
Yep.
Um, do you know anything about the nature of the threat?
Um, it was at the TAC downtown.
I guess they're gonna have, like, some, uh, bombs flying there, and somebody called in a bomb threat, and they evacuated the whole downtown area.
Oh, brother.
I'll take one first.
Yeah, apparently so.
I take it that no bomb has been found.
It's just somebody wanted, apparently, to ruin the night.
Probably.
Yeah, they haven't said anything more about it.
Well, I'm sure sorry to hear that.
Yes, me too.
Okay, thank you for the report, sir.
All right, thank you.
Take care.
You know, of all the major cities that have gone by without a problem, to have a problem like that in Anchorage is amazing to me because Anchorage is a pretty Well, of course it's changed since I was there, but it's generally a pretty closed community.
What do I mean by closed?
Well, not really closed, but I mean close.
A close community, or at least it was.
Now, I guess Anchorage is now really a big city, and so I guess you can expect it like anywhere else, but I'm sorry to hear that.
West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
Hi.
Hello, Art.
Hello.
Turn your radio down, please.
I'm terribly sorry.
That's all right.
First off, I'd like to say thank you very much for your service to our country.
Sure.
Whatever that has been.
Well, it's inspired me anyway.
I'd also like to say Ramona sounds like she's having just entirely too much fun back there.
Yes, she is.
God bless her heart.
And the other thing is, my dog just, now this sounds funny, but my dog has predicted that Central California is going to have an earthquake.
How did he do that?
I mean, was it sort of like a six point earthquake?
Well, no, I can't say exactly what point it's going to be, but she just freaks out.
She did last time.
And she did it again tonight.
Okay.
Dog predicts earthquakes.
I mean, when?
How soon?
Within the next few weeks.
And I predict you will be the king of the next big pizza chain across the United States.
And the other thing is, if you would have run an ABCD.
Yeah.
I probably still couldn't have got it, but I really would like to hear the clip.
Well, that would be a giveaway.
I mean, you can't run one group, and then you get a groupie of that group who just names them right off, and there goes my $100.
What kind of deal is that?
Well, it's kind of a sure bet.
Yeah, for you.
Art, I want you to have a very merry New Year.
You too, sir.
Thank you very much.
Take care.
On the international line, you're on the air.
Hi, Art.
Hello.
Oh my God, I actually got through?
Well, let's see, where are you?
Canada?
Canada.
Well, that's why you got through, because we're trying to hold this line open for people elsewhere, but go ahead.
Where in Canada?
Oh, sweet.
I'm from Calgary.
Calgary.
Alright.
Yeah, I listen to you, like, all the times when I get up in the night.
Okay.
Pretty good show.
Thank you.
Well, I just thought I'd tell you that down in Vancouver, British Columbia.
Yes.
They had Lou Vega playing.
Yes.
And I just thought I'd tell you, he did really terribly.
He did?
Yeah, he was the worst singer ever.
Why?
Well, I don't know.
He was stoned or something.
Well, maybe he was just celebrating the New Year.
Maybe he was.
A little early, I guess.
Well, look, even in Las Vegas right now, some of our television anchors, we have observed, are weaving around a little bit.
Uh-huh.
You know, you don't get to the year 2000, actually, ever.
Yeah, right.
Right, just once.
Right, yep.
We know their names.
Yeah, we have their names.
I weave too, but I'm on radio, so it doesn't count.
I've got to go, hon.
Right.
Alright, see you later.
We're going up on the year 2000 in Anchorage, Fairbanks.
Anchorage, Fairbanks.
Are you sure?
I thought they were two hours, or just one hour?
All right.
Well, if that's really right, you're about to greet the millennium in Alaska.
I thought it was two hours.
But at this time of year, it may not be.
We'll see.
Somewhere where she's never been before.
More than phrases and lying gazes won't get you where you want to go.
No!
Words of love, soft and tender words.
AMA 40.
KXNT.
How much longer are you gonna wait?
CBS News, I'm David Dow in Los Angeles.
The big light show is over, but the celebration goes on.
With a flick of a ceremonial switch, Mayor Richard Reardon and talk show host Jay Leno lit up the famous Hollywood sign in blinking Technicolors.
The show was viewed on big screens by crowds from the Los Angeles harbors to the San Fernando Valley, and here at the Paramount Studios at a black tie gala.
The first real rain of the season held down crowds somewhat and caused some power outages in the city.
But none of the outages was thought to be Y2K related.
I'm David Dow in Los Angeles with more on the nation's celebration.
Here's Kerry Anderson in Anchorage, Alaska.
Finally, it's Alaska's turn to ring in the year 2000, one of the last places on earth to do so.
After a night of indoor cultural events, ranging from Middle Eastern belly dancing to native Eskimo drumming, thousands of people are gathered now outside on the streets of Anchorage for the fireworks display near Town Square.
It's minus 5 degrees here, so the dress code is parka, hat, warm boots, and gloves.
For CBS News, this is Terry Anderson live in Anchorage Town Square.
Now with more New Year's festivities, we go to Seattle and Patti Lane of Acilius KIRO.
A terrorist threat closed Seattle's center...
A terrorist threat closed Seattle's center, but many came out to the hills and buildings around it
to catch a few of the fireworks being launched off the landmark.
While the excitement mounted and the countdown changed, revelers were disappointed after only five minutes of firework.
Live in Seattle, I'm Patti Lane with more on the Millennium Celebration.
You go to CBS 4 Exponded and Dave Reveve in Times Square.
This is Dan Reveve in Times Square where right now on both sides of an outdoor stage,
about a thousand watched the 22nd of 24 performances, one an hour for each time zone.
Alaska Eskimo music in this show, four hours ago, was the big one.
Midnight here, one and a half million people cheered as the brightly multicolored ball came down a pole high above the square and... Lights are on.
The lights didn't go out on Broadway.
What happened to Y2K?
It didn't happen.
It was a flop.
It was a flop.
Why did UK fail?
What can I say?
Police report 14 arrests in this area, but no disruptions.
A good-natured, huge crowd.
A nice start to a new year.
Live in Times Square, I'm Dan Reveve.
Now with more CBS News, Sam Litzinger.
Big welcome to the new year in a big way in Washington, D.C.
Fireworks, music, huge crowds on the Washington Mall.
No major Y2K problems to report either.
The man in charge of checking for them says he actually expected some, but they just didn't show up.
Officials say Y2K problems were not a factor in the controlled shutdowns of three nuclear power plants in South Carolina, Georgia, and Pennsylvania.
They say the troubles range from a transformer problem to distribution troubles.
This is CBS News.
Friends, this is Larry King.
Most of you... Some of the rich and famous and some of the not-so-rich and famous are welcoming in the new year in Acapulco, Mexico.
CBS News reporter Adrienne Bohr.
The fireworks are exploding over Acapulco Bay and tens of thousands of people are lining the beaches.
Watching the show, there are dozens of boats with their mastheads lit up floating along in the bay.
And on the hillside at private parties like this one in the past Las Risas neighborhood, people are dancing, hugging, and wishing each other a Feliz Año Nuevo.
Happy New Year!
Dozens of women hoping to have Australia's first baby of the new millennium were beaten to it by a woman who wasn't expected to give birth until January 8th.
Boaty J. Ella didn't want to wait and was born just 30 seconds into the new year.
1999 is officially dead and buried.
Thousands of people took part in a traditional jazz funeral in New Orleans.
They played tunes and marched through the city's French Quarter.
I'm Sam Litzinger, CBS News.
Nonsense.
Alright, here we go again.
Let me read some more of the predictions made in 1998 about 1999 and see how people did.
Get my pen so we can judge.
Not that I'm going to get them all right, but I'll do the best I can.
Now, see, I've lost my pen.
Don't comment.
Pens go to the land of the lost.
I mean, they just occasionally do that.
Maybe I took it out of the room, but I don't recall doing that, so it's gone.
My pen is gone.
Well, when going gets tough, the tough get a pencil.
And I've got a pencil, so here we go.
Number 46.
That the United States would go to war with Russia.
Bonk.
Number 47.
That I would not be on the air this time next year.
Bonk.
I'm on the air.
Number 48.
That I would write another book in 1999.
Ding, ding, ding, ding.
I sure did.
And by the way, it's the coming global super storm.
Plug time.
And we're going to be in New York in Manhattan at Barnes & Noble.
At about 12.30 in the afternoon on the 12th, Whitley Strieber and myself signing this book, and talk about a prophetic book.
It's scaring the hell out of me.
With what's going on with the weather right now, this book will scare you.
It is fiction, it's drama, it's entertaining, and I'm afraid it may be true.
It's called the coming global super storm.
You can find it at Amazon.com where they give you 35% off.
Or your local bookstore.
Number 49.
A huge turmoil.
World War III.
Bonk.
Have not had World War III.
50.
A major shift in power.
I'm going to give that a ding ding ding ding because just prior to the millennium, Boris Yeltsin quit, and that's a major shift in power in Russia.
I give that a ding.
Number 51, insurrections in the United States.
I'm giving that a bonk.
It's been pretty quiet.
Number 52, that we would go under martial law.
Bonk.
No martial law yet.
Number 53, Hillary punches Bill on camera.
Bonk.
If they had said in private, I might have dinged that one.
Number 54.
Jonathan Reed.
Alien in the freezer.
Dr. Reed exposed as a hoax.
Bonk.
He certainly has not been.
A number 55.
That I would get a new cat.
Bonk.
I have three and want no more.
Number 56.
That a Bigfoot would be caught either dead or alive.
Bonk.
So, there you have it.
Let's see what else do we have.
I don't think the Euro's done that well, has it?
It's almost even with the American dollar.
Ding ding ding ding.
Number 58, that Europe, the Euro dollar surpasses the American dollar.
I don't think the Euro's done that well, has it?
It's almost even with the American dollar.
I'm going to put a question mark by that one because I'm not really sure of the answer.
And number 59, that I would be blamed for Y2K suicides.
Well, uh, Bonk, I don't think we've had any.
And, let's see, number 60, Curtis smokes art.
Now that refers to Curtis Sliwa.
Curtis smokes art.
Well, he has not smoked me.
In fact, I smoked him.
Uh, Bonk.
on number 61 that the NBA would go on strike and that the whole thing would destroy the
National Basketball Association bonk it did not do that and number 62 that the common
cold will be cured bonk so I would have to say so far we're running at about a 20 percent
success rate 18 to 18 to 20%.
Not too good.
We've had better years.
Well, Sir The Rockies, you're on air.
Yes, sir, Mr. Bell.
Yes, sir.
Yes, I'm calling from Honolulu.
Well, hello there.
Yes, I've been listening to you for years.
And you've got about what, 40, about 43 minutes left or something?
Yes, sir, just about.
Yeah.
No, usually we live in Kalihi Valley, but we are afraid of all the smoke.
Do you ever spend New Year's out here?
Do I understand what?
Do you ever spend New Year's out here?
I have never been there at New Year's.
No, I haven't.
Oh, it's like a war zone.
Everyone, everyone has fireworks.
Really?
Yes, yes.
It's like, it's unbelievable.
It's like the whole island is Chinatown on New Year's.
Have you been watching the fireworks around the world?
Yes, but this is all individual.
In other words, everybody has their own... Everyone has their own.
That's why we came to Waikiki.
So we're in the middle of Waikiki right now, because we couldn't handle the smoke and all the noise in our Kalihi Valley.
Well, I would think Waikiki would be worse.
No, because it's mostly tourists, and there's so many police around.
I see.
So you're comfortable with the protection of all the police?
Well, I wasn't worried at home either, but it's, uh, it's nice to get away.
Gonna have a nice air-conditioned room.
But it's, uh, it's just wild here.
Just, everyone's running around.
There's fireworks everywhere.
I can hear some of it.
Oh, it's surrounded by smoke.
It's quiet now.
Well, wait about another 41 minutes or so.
There's some more going now.
Yeah, I heard it.
Over the hills in Makiki.
We're right between Kuhio Avenue and College Tower.
Are the trade winds blowing?
No, everything is quiet.
Well, then you're going to get a lot of smoke.
Oh, yes, sir.
Yes, sir.
It's going to be like fog every year.
But this year is supposed to be worse.
Well, listen, good luck to you.
Do you want to make a prediction?
I predict that they're going to outlaw fireworks in Hawaii next year.
Is that a prediction or a wish?
Both, sir.
All right, I gotcha.
God bless.
Thank you.
I predict outlaw fireworks in Hawaii.
Okay, well, we'll see.
First time caller line, you're on the air.
Hello.
Yes, hi.
I want to attempt a TV challenge.
Oh, you want the challenge.
I want the challenge.
Are you up to it?
I think so.
Now, ask yourself this before you really take the challenge.
When I was playing these earlier, were you naming them as quickly as... I knew it was The World Without Love, Peter Corden.
You did?
Yeah.
Alright.
Alright.
What the hell?
Here we go.
You really think you're that good?
Well...
We'll wait and find out.
Yeah, that's right.
I can see for miles.
I can see for miles.
He's right.
Alright, here comes the next one.
You got your troubles, I got mine.
Fortunes.
Oh, you're scaring me here.
He's exactly right.
Alright.
Uh oh.
Ah!
Oh no.
Oh no.
You want to take a guess?
No?
100 is safe.
You give up?
That's a yes?
I can't identify that one.
Alright.
Man, I play it all the time!
Yeah!
Good try, sir.
Well, it was amazing.
See you later.
I don't know if I'm a goose anymore.
I mean, I'm already halfway through this thing and I've blown away five people.
I'm going to have to think about it.
Let me find another CD here.
Something that I can really trick you up.
you up. Let's see. It's something old, but risky. This hunter is conducting.
Let's see...
Stash...
These worry me.
These guys are pretty good.
Gotta have one here that's pretty good.
Oh, here she is.
Ah, there's no way you're gonna get this one.
I got it. I've got it.
I've got one you can't possibly do.
All right, this challenge, this $100 challenge, is good to the top of the hour.
After that, the offer is off.
The predictions, however, will continue.
Bless for the Rockies.
You're on the air.
Hello.
Oh, hi, Orville.
Um, I'm from Fairbanks, Alaska.
Uh, Fairbanks?
Yeah.
How cold is it up there?
50 below.
It's 50 below zero?
Yes, a nice fog.
A 50 Below Zero with an ice fog.
We heard earlier somebody said they had to cancel the fireworks celebration because it was so cold.
Uh-huh.
We had to call the fire station and ask.
50 Below Zero is unreasonably cold.
Why would a person, most Americans would ask, choose to live in a place where it gets to be 50 Below Zero?
I don't know.
I was just born here.
I don't know.
So in other words, you've never known anything else.
Um, yeah, because I was born here, so... Have they ever taken you on a vacation down to Hawaii?
Uh, not yet.
So, in other words, you're Alaskan through and through.
Yep.
Well, you gotta be hardy.
Because at 50 below zero, that's cold enough you can go outside and throw liquid up into the air and it comes down in ice crystals.
26 cold, that's telling me to go to Hawaii.
Or there.
Would you like to go to a warm place?
Um, not really, because I don't like the air.
It's like there's ice in your blood.
Yeah.
Okay.
Well, do you want to make a prediction, or what's on your mind?
Um, I don't know.
Just say Happy New Year to you, because we couldn't get through.
Well, you've made it through.
Yeah, we made it through once, and then they said disconnect, and then you party twice, and everything.
I know, I know, I know.
They do that.
All right.
Thank you very much for the call, and stay warm.
You too.
Okay.
50 below zero.
Now, I've been in those kinds of temperatures a couple of times.
I lived in Anchorage, and occasionally, you know, like a couple of weeks during the year in Anchorage, it'll dip down to those sorts of temperatures.
I believe I saw 54 degrees below zero in Anchorage, and I saw 70 below in the Yukon.
And that scared me.
It's like, you don't stop the car.
You know, you just keep going.
And those were the days on the Alcan Trail when, you know, you could go a couple of hundred miles between gas stations and you were always hoping the next one was going to be open.
Scary stuff.
What's to the Rockies?
You're on the air.
Hi Art.
Hello.
Hi Art.
I am your winner.
I can win.
Oh no you can't.
Yes I can.
I've beaten Dick Bartley's quiz man and I can beat you.
Who is Dick Bartley's Quiz Man?
Oh, you've never heard of it?
Dick Bartley runs a syndicated oldies show called American Gold, and he has a contest called the Quiz Man, where he plays just a couple of beats of three oldies.
Yeah.
And if you name all three, you... You've got to do my whole CD here.
Uh-huh.
You really think you're up to that, huh?
I really do.
All right.
Uh, listening to it over the phone might make it a little harder, but, you know... It might, but I mean, you'll hear it pretty well.
You ready?
Uh-huh.
All right.
Okay, here we go.
Uh, Rick Nielsen, Travelman.
That's right.
That's, uh, that's one.
So you're playing older stuff now, too.
Okay, yeah, here we go.
And that is...
Rockabye Baby, but I have no idea who it's by.
No, that's sufficient.
You're right.
It's Rock-A-Bye Baby.
I thought you'd blow that one for sure.
Yeah, because Bieber gave you the title right away, yeah.
Uh, Little Peg Barton.
I will follow him.
You're scaring me, sir.
All right.
All right.
I'm going to have to hang up on you.
You've got me on.
Really?
Yeah.
I'm gonna have to hang up on you.
Heart.
Huh?
Oh.
Ah, you got me, huh?
Really?
Yeah.
You're gonna be sick.
Oh.
Not too much, yo-yo.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Good shot anyway, sir.
If you had kept on with the 60s stuff, it would have been no problem.
I know, but I was beginning to see my 100 fluttering away.
I know, yeah.
I'll see you later.
All right, bye.
First time caller line, you're on the air.
Hello.
Hi, Art.
Hi.
Happy New Year.
Happy New Year to you as well.
I have some news and a prediction.
News, huh?
Okay, what is the news?
What's the news?
I'm in San Luis, Texas, which is right by Brownsville.
You're in what town?
Santa Maria.
Santa Maria, okay.
Yeah, it's right by Brownsville, Texas.
Yeah, which is way down there.
Yeah.
I spent my New Year's at my cousin's house, and we had several things happen.
Like what?
First of all, when the Clock for twelve on the cell phone.
We were using one cell phone and it went out.
And none of the cell phones found your work.
Really?
They all stopped working.
They can't call each other.
The home phones work, but the cell phones don't work.
You can't call two of them and they can't call each other.
Well, sounds like the cell phone company has a little work to do.
What is your prediction?
Because I don't have a lot of time.
We will find that Al Gore will have a mental illness.
Really?
Yeah, but I was gonna have some more, more things happen at midnight.
Uh, we're not gonna have time to cover, or, well, quickly, what else?
Okay, street lights don't work, uh, lights went off for 20 minutes, and all the computers set their dates to January 4th of 1980.
All the home computers.
Uh, but otherwise, none of that is Y2K related, they're saying, right?
Yeah.
You have a good morning, sir.
You too.
All right, take care.
We'll be right back.
It's the bottom of the hour.
I'm Art Bell, and this is Coast to Coast AM.
and even through the 2000s and 2001s, don't break that chain.
Thank you.
Porter.

You know what this is?
This song?
I've played it for years.
7 5 7 2 7 12 95 to recharge 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.
You know what this is? This song? I've played it for years.
I think I've been playing this song now for I don't know, 10 years.
It's a very special piece.
It's called Little Ballerina Blue.
It's by George Fischhoff.
And a couple of years ago, George Fischhoff contacted me, and I was desperate.
I had an old tape, you know, and it was from something very scratchy, but I would play it anyway because I love the piano so much.
Somehow George Fishoff in New York got hold of me and thanked me for playing the record and said, I said, send me, you've got to send me a copy.
And so he said, well, there aren't any.
Well, maybe a couple of 45s.
So he found a new 45 of it and sent it to me.
And I got it.
And I realized I don't I don't have a record player.
I don't I don't have anything that would play a record, a vinyl record.
But my network did.
So I sent it to my network and they, of course, Preserved it for me on a better medium.
And that's what this is.
George Fishoff at Little Ballerina Blue.
I'm Art Bell, and it's a new millennium.
And it looks like it's going pretty well out there, folks.
All these years I like that.
All right.
Let us now examine some of the somewhat pathetically incorrect predictions made for 1999 in 1998.
Number 63.
China marches into North Korea.
Bonk.
Number 64.
Denver wins the Super Bowl by three.
Now I'm not sure about this one, but as I remember It was more of a knockout than that, so I'm going to give it a bonk.
If I'm wrong, somebody correct me.
Number 65, the 49ers by 14.
Well, bonk.
Number 66, a device to stop interrupting yourself will be devised.
Ding, ding, ding, ding.
You know what?
As horrid as it is, This stupid little sound actually has prevented me from interrupting myself.
See, I can stop it like that.
But it has done that, so you've got to give that a ding.
Number 67.
Matt Drudge to go to work for the Enquirer.
Bonk.
Number 68.
Ken Starr indicted for abuse of power.
Bonk.
He was, uh...
I believe investigated, but not indicted.
Number 69.
Major drug bust in Menlo Park.
And I believe there was.
Ding, ding, ding.
I'm going to call that a ding.
Number 70.
Prince Charles dies in 99, Bonk.
Number 71.
Big UFO sting at Area 50.
Oh, sighting.
I'm sorry.
At Area 51.
Not really.
I mean, there's sightings all the time, but not a big one.
Number 72, a nuclear reactor melts in South Korea.
Oh no, somewhere in the world.
Oh, nothing melted.
Number 73, in April, a 15% drop in the Dow average.
Now, you know, that might be a... I'm going to ding that one because we had... didn't we have the Asian crisis about then?
I think that's about right.
I'm going to give that a ding.
Number 74, A device to help blind people to drive would be invented.
And I'm going to put a question mark by that because I don't know of one, but it may be.
Number 75, on New Year's Eve, predicting now for 1999, it would be wild, crazy, and rioting.
Well, there sure was in Las Vegas.
Ding, ding, ding, ding.
Number 76, there would be an advance in alien knowledge.
I've got to bonk that because there may be, but I just don't know about it.
Number 77, the Pope dies.
Bonk.
He, in fact, made it, folks.
The Pope made it.
I really didn't give him a big chance, but you've got to know that man had intestinal fortitude and he just pushed himself to make it.
Number 78, grocery stores to require membership.
Bonk.
That would have to be at least the majority of them.
So that brings us to number 79 as we continue in last year to take new predictions.
And on the first time caller line, you're on the air.
Yes, this is Bill from Anchorage, Alaska.
Hi Bill.
Do you know anything, can you confirm or deny some earlier caller said there had been a
bomb threat up there?
Yes, there has.
Oh, there was one, huh?
We had approximately, or news were estimating 10,000 people in the city of Anchorage.
They had nine blocks, nine blocks blocked off for the entertainment for the New Year.
Right.
And they, at 11 o'clock, They had a bomb threat in the Performing Arts building.
Oh, brother.
And they evacuated the Performing Arts and the Egan Center.
And the fireworks were to go off at midnight.
They postponed that until ten minutes after.
Oh.
And still did not let anyone in the building.
Oh.
Well, at least nothing actually happened, right?
No, nothing did.
Just a prank, evidently a prank call.
It's still being investigated and if they can catch the culprit, he will be prosecuted to the fullest.
Yeah, unusual to have that happen.
I said earlier that Anchorage is kind of a close community.
Yes, it is.
It's now a bigger city than when I lived there, but still.
Sorry to hear it.
Anyway, welcome to the program.
What's up?
Well, I wanted to let everyone know that I heard you call the last time when you had a lady from Fairbanks call, and why would we live in Fairbanks?
That's a bitchin' blow.
Well, she, of course, has lived there all her life and knows nothing other than.
Well, I lived there in 1964, and my oldest son was born at 75 below.
Really?
25 below where I brought him home.
25 below where I brought him home. And thought him out? Yes.
And I stayed there until 1967.
And what drove you away, finally?
Nothing.
I'm in Anchorage.
The only thing that drew me away from Fairbanks is the flood.
Oh, come on.
Anchorage is the banana belt compared to Fairbanks.
Oh, yes, it is.
But see, I got washed out during the flood.
Oh, I see.
They said it wasn't going to be any problem when the snow melted.
It moved the river, which is on First Avenue.
It moved it to 6th Avenue.
Actually, a lot of people don't know this, but Anchorage is not, except for a couple of weeks maybe during the winter, not that bad.
Really, you get more snow in Wisconsin and places like that.
Yes, you do.
And on average, it might even be colder.
But I have seen it just about, well, between now and about the middle of February, it can get down to 50 below in Anchorage.
I've seen that.
Well, it hasn't the last...
Fifteen, twenty years.
I've lived in Anchorage since sixty-seven.
February is the coldest.
I can remember back in all the early eighties, it got down to twenty-five below in Anchorage.
I remember fifty-four degrees below.
Now, I was outside of Anchorage, but... Well, yes.
Not that far out.
If you were at Eagle River or down at Girdwood, yes, you get... Yeah, but that's not very far out of town.
No.
All right, well listen, do you have a prediction for us?
I predict that your listening audience will double within the next year.
Listening, that would be really something.
I'm not sure there's that many people in the world.
Well, you produce a show that is right on and really makes people think and question.
It does do that.
I hear a little tutoring in the background there.
Yes, yes, I have a friend of ours Well, I thank you for the call and all that obvious support.
Thanks so much.
Thank you, sir.
Take care.
Alright, that's Anchorage, Alaska.
As a matter of fact, that's what she gave me for Christmas this year.
And last year she gave me the beige in and gave my wife the light that my sponsors provide.
Well, I thank you for the call and all that obvious support.
Thanks so much.
Thank you, sir.
Take care.
All right, that's Anchorage, Alaska.
Well, I guess then they did have a bomb threat.
Shame.
So many cities down here in what they call the lower 48, they say they're in a state of panic.
They call it other things down here too.
We went through it without being scathed, basically.
Keith tells me the Naval Observatory clock screwed up.
Now that would be something.
That apparently a report on a website about the Naval Observatory clock.
So there's, you know, there's going to be a lot that's going to happen over the next few days.
East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
Hi.
Hello, Warren.
How are you?
Fine.
This is Tom from New Jersey.
Hi, Tom.
Do you want to hear my prediction, or do you want to play the game first?
Well, I tell you, two o'clock is a cutoff, Tom, for the game.
Oh, okay.
The $100 challenge.
Okay, well, I'll just give you my prediction.
Alright.
Well, no, it's not 2 o'clock here yet.
Oh, okay.
So, I mean, you're still in the ballpark.
Let's hear your prediction.
My prediction is that the biggest new internet service provider will be Kmart when they offer it for free.
You think they're going to do that?
Yes, they are.
As a matter of fact, I know they're going to do it, and I think they're going to do very well.
Believe it or not, it's going to be called BlueLight.com.
You know what?
I think there's going to be a lot of that, a lot of free service.
It's not exactly free.
In other words, there's going to be advertising.
Yeah, and I'm sure you have to answer questionnaires and stuff.
Yeah.
So you want to try this, huh?
Yeah, I've got one more thing I want to tell you.
I know you played that song, Highwaymen, when Willie Nelson was on.
Yes.
Did you know that Jimmy Webb wrote that?
Uh, I think I did, yes.
Yeah, it's very unusual for him, I think.
It's a very unusual song.
Yeah.
All right.
So, uh, yeah, hit me with your rhythm stick.
All right.
Here it comes.
Listen very carefully.
Oh, that's Runaway by Del Shannon.
Oh, boy, you said that awful fast.
That worries me.
How many times do I have to get it?
That worries me, alright.
Swayze Riddle.
Okay, that's, um, you Swayze Riddle, Wiggle, when the wiggle, when she walks.
I think it was the freshman, but I can't be certain about that.
Well, I'm not gonna require you to get the, uh, the artist right.
Okay.
So, alright, here we go.
Oh, oh, that's the fourth season, Sherry Baby.
Oh, you're all right.
I tell you what, instead of the check, I'll take a signed book.
Well, we're not done yet.
You haven't won.
You've got to get all the way through the CD to make it.
Go ahead.
All right.
Here we go.
Oh, God, it could be a billion things.
Let me see.
Let me give it to you again. Alright, that's a pretty big piece there. Okay, I want to say,
it's a little too fast, but is it like Bobby's Girl? I want to be Bobby's Girl. No, you know
what it is? No. Do you, it was sung by, I'll give you a hint, it was sung by twins. Twins? Oh, um,
twins. Uh huh. What do you think?
It's a group called the Kaelin Twins and the name of the song is When.
And you lose.
What year was that?
A long time ago.
I was like in the 50s.
Well, I'm a 50s old man.
I didn't mean to make it easy.
You know what, I wanted to ask you one last thing.
Did you ever hear that One Last Kiss version by Pearl Jam?
Oh, yes.
Yeah, I've been wondering if you ever get around to playing those back-to-back.
Well, sure, probably I will.
Okay, listen, we're going to have a good New Year, and best of luck.
Thank you so much, same to you.
West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
Hello.
Hi there, I want to try the Oldies Challenge.
You do, huh?
Yeah, I sure do.
We're coming up on the deadline.
You've got eight minutes, and so I'm going to take you through the rest of this CD.
Let me start you... Yeah, I know.
Let me start you right here.
You're a diamond by Jimmy Jones.
Oh, man.
You're a dangerous one, I can tell right away.
All right?
And then he kissed me.
Oh, my God.
you may be the one.
I can tell I got you.
Can you play the beginning of it?
Because you faded that in a little bit.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'll give it to you.
All right, here we go.
I'm Diana.
Oh, man, you got it.
I shouldn't have given you a second chance on that.
Yeah, I know.

You only got a few to go here.
Okay.
All right.
Honky-tonk woman, the stones.
Wendy.
Wendy.
That's right.
Wendy. Wendy is right.
I had the center of your mind, the journey to the center of your mind.
You're killing me here.
Green Tambourine? Green Tambourine, yes.
Is that your 511 piper? Yeah, but your 511 piper's here.
Now listen.
You're killing me here.
There's a lot of yellow silver in my Oh.
I think.
I don't think it's Green Tambourine, is it?
I thought it was Green Tambourine.
We both put it right here.
Look.
Oh God, you're right.
Alright.
so far. My green tambourine. Oh God, you're right. All right, here we go. Light my fire.
Alright.
Summer Song.
You just won $100.
You just ripped me off for $100.
Thank you very much.
I appreciate that.
All right.
Hang on the line.
I'm going to have to get your name and address.
All right.
I can't believe it.
I can't believe it.
In the last minute, I get Mr. Genius.
There goes $100.
Well, what the hell.
It's a millennium.
There goes a hundred bucks.
Well, what the hell. It's a millennium.
I'll send him a check.
You got to admit, that's... Don't hit me!
I don't think she's real happy about that.
You gotta admit he's good.
I don't think she's real happy about that.
No, he's not real happy.
You gotta admit he's good.
He's good.
The guy's good, right?
Alright, well you get to take his name and address and run it right out the check.
No I don't.
I can't believe it in the last minute here.
If it were my contest, I'd be taking a nap right now.
No, no, no.
I'm just kidding.
I can't believe that guy. He was really too good.
You're going to be free in a few months.
Honolulu, yes, coming up.
And also... And down in the Tahitian Islands.
Coming up.
Alright, well...
I don't feel like saying anything else.
I just lost a hundred dollars.
Yeah, you got it.
But we will indeed send him a personalized check, which he can either... He can frame it.
He can frame it or he can cash it.
The one I caught him on almost was Journey to the Center of the Mind and Green Tambourine.
Nobody's that good.
Nobody's that good.
He's a ringer.
Anyway, we'll be back.
There goes my money.
Yeah, you're a long way.
And it hurts me to say goodbye to you.
Wish you didn't have to go.
No, no, no, no.
And when the rain Beats against my windowpane,
I'll think of summer days again.
And dream of you.
Everytime.
AMA 40, KXNT.
CBS News, I'm Steve Kathan.
It's the year 2000, now being welcomed in Hawaii.
Reporter Kai Maxwell of affiliate KGU joins us live from Honolulu.
Aloha Steve and haole makahiki ho, which means Happy New Year in Hawaiian.
The parties started early out here in Honolulu.
Public parties in Waikiki on the waterfront and in the middle of town.
Professional fireworks set off by several hotels over Waikiki, but as you can probably hear, there are a lot of amateur fireworks going on as well.
Fireworks sales are legal here in Hawaii.
Even so, the Honolulu Police Department seized 14 tons of illegal aerial fireworks in the last week.
Firefighters got about 99 calls today, 77 of them fireworks related.
Lots of people opted to stay home this year.
Hotel prices doubled and tripled because of the Millennium Celebration, but we're happy to say that there have been no Y2K problems.
Power, telephone, emergency services, hospitals, everything is still working.
Reporting live from Honolulu, I'm Kai Maxwell for CBS News.
The new year is still very young in Hollywood, where CBS News correspondent David Dowd joins us live.
Here in Tinseltown, they welcomed the new millennium by turning the Hollywood sign into a giant blinking Technicolor marquee.
At Paramount Studios, a black-tie crowd danced to the music of a famous Hollywood name, Frank Sinatra Jr., and raised $2 million for children's library books.
Downtown, the new Staples Center featured the Eagles and other name entertainers, and at five locations scattered around the city, there was free food, drink, and entertainment.
David Dell, CBS News, Hollywood.
Two million saw him in the new millennium in Times Square.
I'm breathing, but I'm lucky, and I'm very happy.
He saw the big ball drop, which was followed by a street party that's still going on.
CBS News correspondent Dan Raviv says it was, for the most part, a safe and secure event.
Security was unusually tight for such a public event.
8,000 police officers were on duty in and around these crossroads, keeping a close eye on people, while also having friendly conversations with them, like a micro version of community policing.
If someone did look odd, and keep in mind a lot of beer was consumed, police asked questions.
And in this area, they did arrest at least 14 people, including a man who allegedly had a loaded rifle in his car.
In the nation's capital...
Trumpets and fireworks along the Washington Mall.
President Clinton was there, too, to ring in the 21st century.
All around the globe, the power's on, the phones are working, computers are churning out information, and ATMs are dishing out money.
No major problems Y2K related.
This is CBS News.
A familiar sound at midnight in London.
Big bends, thunderous chimes rang in the new millennium along with fireworks high above
the River Thames.
In Paris, there was a big light show at the Eiffel Tower, but power problems, blamed on recent storms, not Y2K glitches, blacked out the big countdown clock.
A Y2K terror scare at the Alexandria Bay, New York border crossing with Canada.
Border post was shut down for about three hours last night after a possible chemical residue was found in a car.
Experts were called in, but there were no explosives in the vehicle.
A lot of planning went into marking the millennium, and there was plenty of planning for cesarean births at Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis.
Jacob Wallman was born just after midnight, and his sister Jordan was delivered a minute after the stroke of 12.
Similar events with twins taking place at hospitals in Seattle, Fairfax, Virginia, Enid, Oklahoma, and Berlin, Germany.
Steve Kafe and CBS News.
Nonsense!
AMA...
This one is for my wife.
and I'm gonna miss you baby, I'm gonna miss you baby.
You know I need your love.
You've got that hold over me.
Long as I've got your love, you know that I'll never leave.
When I wanted you to share my life I had no doubt in my mind
It's been you, move on, right down the line I know how much I lean on you, only you can see
The changes that I've been through, I've let them all go me You've been as constant as a northern star, the brightest
light that shines It's been you, a woman, riding it down the line.
I just want to say this is my way of telling you everything I could never say before.
Yeah, this is my way of telling you everything.
I love you so much, love me, could you believe that?
It really does say it all. And believe me, we've been through some dark nights.
She's been right there. That would be Ramona.
Anyway, that's the same Ramona, by the way, who just bopped me on the head for losing $100.
To a very, very talented Bob Fetty of Denver, Colorado.
Unbelievable.
In a million years, I would not have imagined anybody could have nailed all of those.
But he did it right down the line.
Congratulations, Bob.
I'll be writing out a check for $100 when I get off the air.

There's just one more to go now.
Samoa.
And we'll close it out.
That's all the way around the globe and that's in about 15 minutes.
Samoa in about 15 minutes.
So, we've kind of taken it all the way around.
Well, not all the way around, but, uh, the majority of it, anyway.
Back to the lines, we're taking, uh, we're taking predictions, and I guess I better read a few more of them to you.
Now, let's see.
We finished up that page, alright.

Bonk.
Thank God it did not.

Well, you know me.
I'm going to ding that one.
Ding, ding, ding.
There have been a number of things that I would consider strong evidence.
Well, I didn't interview him on the air, but in fact, I met him in person during the year.
So I'm going to give that a ding.
Ding, ding, ding, ding.
I've got a picture with him, too.
Number 84, I'm not going to give on the air.
Number 85, on September 12th, the King of Terror will arrive.
Must have been Curtis, but short now.
So I'm going to have to give that a bonk, actually.
Number 86, Microsoft will be broken up.
Well, The fight is on, but it hasn't happened yet that I'm aware of Bonk.
Ah, let's see.
Number 87, I'm not going to give that any airplay.

Ding, ding, ding, ding.
A lot going on in that area.

Except up in Fairbanks, where they've had even more than that.

New Year's postponed in August.
I don't know what that means, but it's a bonk.
Number 93.
First over Unity device demonstrated.
I give that an absolute bonk, and I know I will get all kinds of mail on that, but I have yet to see one demonstrated to me.
Uh, number 94.
The title, he didn't, did he?
No.
He didn't.
Or did he?
I really don't know.

Well, not yet, Bonk.
Number 100, Al Gore, not elected president.
Well, you've got to give that a ding.
There's an opportunity for there to be an election.
Coming to the end of them here, number 101, Year of the Angels.
I'm going to give that a ding.
I mean, angels have been really big this year.
And then, number 102.
Oh, would you look at the last one on my list.
Weather record-breaking.
Record-breaking weather in 1999.
Ding, ding, ding.
Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding.
Alright, that's it.
That completes the list of predictions made in 1998 for 1999.
in 1998 for 1999.
Now, to get on my list, you have only 45 minutes to register your prediction for next year.
West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
Hello.
Hello.
Art, it's great to talk to you.
And, oh, hello, Ramona.
You know what?
What?
I just thought it'd be great to call you and tell you that, well, in a way, I'm kind of bummed that nothing happened here in Portland, Oregon.
My name is Sandra.
You're bummed about it?
Well, only slightly.
Well, look, Y2K, if that's what you're bummed about, is not over by a long shot.
I think a lot of people around the country think that because nothing happened at midnight,
for which I'm thankful, that means Y2K is over.
Well, wrong.
I know, which I totally understand and agree with you.
But I have a lot of people that have been giving me a lot of, well, you know what.
Yeah.
And the thing of it is that I just kind of wish that at least the lights would have blinked a little bit here in Portland.
But it's okay because I keep telling them that if they aren't ready for anything, I mean, two years ago I was ready and we had a snowstorm and a freezing rain like crazy and I was ready.
Yeah, there we are.
Everybody else was.
Right.
It's good, no, it's good to be ready.
No matter what.
That's right.
Because inevitably what you don't expect is going to happen.
Exactly.
So don't be bummed out.
No, I'm not really bummed out.
Actually, we should all be rather joyful that there wasn't trouble right at the New Year because it would have been real trouble.
Well, of course.
Because I also have a daughter expecting a baby in another time zone and so I was kind of getting a little hyper here.
But other than that... Do you want to make a prediction?
Yes, actually I would.
Number 70.
All right.
I feel that more people are going to go to more natural... How should I put this?
I keep trying to figure out how to put this.
Maybe Ramona could help me.
How about people will become more spiritual?
Oh, well, yes, but see, I'm into natural herbs and I plant and I gather.
Evelyn Paglini, when I heard her tonight, I was so excited!
It was awesome.
Well, she's awesome.
She is.
So, alright, fine.
So people will gravitate more toward natural remedies and potions.
Exactly.
Okay.
Thank you very much, Art.
You're very welcome.
And Ramona, you, both Al and your son, have a wonderful New Year.
Thank you so much.
Oh, you're very welcome.
Take care.
All right.
First time caller line, you're on the air.
Hi.
Hello.
You would have been.
Wildcard line, you're on the air.
Hello, Art.
Chris.
How you doing?
Oh, it's 50 below.
Really, 50 below?
Yep.
I threw coffee outside and it turned into brown snow.
Yep.
At this, let's see, at this time of night, there would be, at this time of year, there would be no, virtually, no sun.
Well, we got about three hours of sun today.
Three hours of sun, huh?
And I'm giving it the benefit of the doubt.
I don't know if it was the sun or the moon.
Well, as I recall, the sun kind of comes up to the horizon and then quickly goes down.
That's pretty much what it does.
It waves as it flies by.
Right.
And it goes up two degrees?
Just about.
I've got two things for you.
One is a cat story I think you'll get a kick out of.
Alright.
My parents picked up a 15 pound tomcat.
It's an outdoor cat.
Right.
And about two months ago it got attacked by three dogs.
So they took it to the vet because its rear end got torn up.
Well, about a week or two ago They hear this racket going on outside.
My dad's outside looking around.
He sees this tomcat, O'Malley, jump on top of a full-grown black Labrador retriever and attack it.
Oh, I like stories like that.
Cats usually lose, but I'll tell you, if a cat can get on a dog's back, it's going to be a ride.
Well, the vet said this thing is the size of a bobcat.
So, I'll give you an idea of how big it is.
Well, cats rarely win, so it's interesting to hear such a story.
Yeah, my dad had to pull him up before he hurt the dog.
I've got some pretty big cats, but nothing like that.
Well, my prediction is that by the end of this year, there's going to be some new technology to replace fossil fuels for a power system.
And it won't be solar, and it won't be wind.
It'll be something better.
Really?
I hope you're right.
You better be right, because things are changing fast.
Yeah, it'll be nice too when it happens because it'll get us off.
Everybody up here in Alaska is worried about oil and stuff, trying to base the economy on fossil fuels.
Luckily the university is trying to push it for a like satellite launching system.
A lot of people in the lower 48 here don't understand that people who live in Alaska for a certain amount of time get a check every year, an oil royalty.
Are they still doing that?
Yeah, and thankfully they've moved away so much from oil, now they're investing in the stock market and investing in other markets.
So most of the money now, they're trying to get it away from the oil and put it into other areas so we can still get their residual income.
Wow.
Yeah, so they're actually starting to think ahead now, which is pretty impressive.
They were trying to cap it this year, but they voted against it.
This is really something.
What's going on with population in Alaska?
Is it continuing to increase or decrease, or remaining roughly stable, or what's going on?
Well, I guess the acreage is increasing pretty much, but up here in Fairbanks it fluctuates.
One year it's larger, one year it's lower.
It depends on how many people are at the military, how many are up at the college.
Well, I would really like to come back to Alaska, and I told my wife I wanted to come to Alaska, and she said, well fine, buy me a fur coat, and if you buy me a fur coat I'll go.
And so I bought her a fur coat, and I really ought to book a flight up to Fairbanks.
Actually, later this month or early in February is the best time to come up here.
When she's hovering around 60 or 65 below?
Oh, no.
It won't get down that low this year.
No?
We had a Chinook last week that got up to 34.
I heard that.
Everybody actually was complaining.
Yeah.
Well, it got up to 50 above in North Pole.
A friend of mine lost 50 below, so he was kind of upset.
Actually, 50 above at North Pole is pretty scary.
Yeah.
I appreciate your call, sir.
All right, thank you.
Thank you, and that was prediction number 71.
East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
Hi.
Hello, Mark.
Hello.
How are you?
Oh, quite well.
Okay, first of all, I've got to tell you of some kind of freaky thing that happened here in Portland, Maine.
White whales came into the harbor, and that's the first time in like... Are you saying this occurred when?
This occurred the day before the time changeover to the new millennium.
Really?
White whales came into the harbor and just at that same time the whole street, this is towards the waterfront in Portland, Maine, dogs were barking.
Well, that's really odd.
Yeah, that is strange.
Something about your type of music that you listen to, and perhaps I'll talk to you off the air about it, if we can go on hold or something.
I have a gentleman that's up here that's like the Bob Crane, only he's in music.
He's been a disc jockey.
I won't mention his name or anything, but he can get you anything, either on vinyl, Listen, I have sources you wouldn't believe.
I'm fixed up there.
But anyway, my prediction is that you will double your finances due to winnings.
Winnings?
I just lost $100.
I just lost a hundred dollars.
No, I mean, I mean, like, a good gamble.
Good gamble.
For a good gamble.
Well, I've been known to gamble.
Not the type of gambling that goes on here in Nevada, but other kinds of gambling.
Well, thank you.
It's better than ending up in the hospital.
That's one I had earlier.
And by the way, my daughter, the one that referred you to the name as... How long was it now?
She referred you to the Desert Rat.
Oh yes.
As to you living in the desert and she assumed that you had like dune buggies and stuff.
She laughed.
She quite frankly laughed a lot about the fact that you were going to send this Daryl guy from the TV station home.
That's what she was telling all her friends.
She says, uh, they could kick a toolbox clear across the floor and, and he was going to send this guy home.
All right, sir.
I've got a scoot.
As a matter of fact, I didn't do a break and I either catch up here or they, they send somebody to get me.
So let me take care of it.
Commercials are more effective if you use real people.
So, on the line is Angie McPhee, a GEICO auto insurance customer who saved over $300.
This is not an actor we hired to play Angie McPhee.
It's THE Angie McPhee.
So, in your own words, tell us.
Are you Angie McPhee?
Yes!
There.
Unmistakable proof that GEICO customers are real and save money.
In 15 minutes, you could save 15%.
Call 1-800-947-AUTO.
1-800-947-AUTO.
GEICO Direct.
The sensible alternative.
Oh, and Roger, please don't gobble all the popcorn.
Not to worry, Margaret.
Yes, I really like these movie nights at Tom and Rosie's.
Me too.
Okay, then.
Okay.
Wait.
What?
Can you smell that?
Hey guys, I just popped up.
Oh, Roger!
I can smell it through the mail shop!
Get off, Roger!
Yeah!
She's not adorable, all right!
Hey, guys!
I just popped up!
Swerve!
Watch your fingers, Rosie.
Only one popcorn is this irresistible.
Only one.
If you only like them, only with Oregon.
Can we still come in?
Friends, this is Larry King.
More on the show at the end of this video.
Most of you know me as a straight shooter, so when I endorse a product or a company, it's because I actually use their products.
Products like the dietary supplements from SunSource, the people who make Garlic, Rejuvex, and New Repose.
I've relied on SunSource products for over 10 years, and I trust them because of their stringent, high-quality standards.
Garlic helps maintain my healthy cholesterol level with the most potent garlic available in any tablet.
And with my heart history, that's really important.
New Repose, the SunSource Stress Relief Supplement, combines kava to relax stress away, Siberian ginseng to revitalize, and magnesium and vitamins B and C to replace nutrients lost to stress.
For women over 40, there's Rejuvex, the SunSource Menopausal Supplement, recommended by leading nutritionist Ann Louise Gittleman.
Look for these SunSource products at food, drug, or discount stores.
And to learn more about the full line of SunSource products, visit sunsource.com.
And look, make SunSource your source for health.
You know, that reminds me, we just had a commercial by Larry King, the first one I've ever had on.
I was on Larry's show, and he promised me he would come on my program.
A promise he has not kept yet.
So any of you with connections to Larry King, Email him.
Write him.
Remind him he promised to come on my program.
And he's been back trying to get me back on his program again.
And I sent a message back to the producer, now a new person, and said, Larry promised to come on mine.
So if you have any sway with Larry, remind him he promised to come on my program.
And I promised to play this record.
So here it is.
Couldn't let the night go without it.
I'm Art Jalas.
I was a highwayman.
Along the coach roads I did ride.
With a sword and pistol by my side.
Many a young maid lost her marbles to my trade.
Many a soldier shed his life blood on my blade.
The bastards hung me and were spraying off what he'd buy.
But I am still alive.
I was a sailor. I was born upon the tide.
And with this fee I paid a fine.
I sailed the sea.
KXNT.
AMA 40 KXNT. The Dow's up.
Send your camel to bed.
Shadows faint in our faces.
Traces of romance in our hands.
Heaven's cold and our hair blue.
Shining just for us.
Let's slip off to a set to rest in.
A kiss of brittle dust.
Come on, can you see the bed?
We'll walk that way.
Come on, till evening.
Till evening.

This is Coast to Coast AM with Art Bell from the Kingdom of Nine.
Well, this absolutely marks my longest show.
It's going to be an eight-hour show in about 24 and a half minutes.
And it will be the New Year in Samoa, which is the last time zone at the top of this coming hour.
And we will have gone all the way around.
And I think I'll take a bit of a break, as we all will, and then we'll see what next week brings.
It's going to be an interesting week this coming week.
It may well be that a lot of what we didn't notice tonight, we will notice next week.
Actually, we want to hope not, but I know some of that is coming for small business.
So, it could be a bit of a bumpy ride as we all try to resume business next week.
But that's still a long way away.
All they hear is a...
All right, here we go.
The final segment and the Millennium racing toward its final destination on Earth, Samoa.
First time caller line, you're on the air.
Hi.
Hi.
The Impeccable Art Bell.
How are you, sir?
I'm reasonably well for a guy who just blew a hundred bucks.
Yeah, I heard about that.
That's too bad.
Sorry.
This is Chris from Peoria, Illinois.
Yes, Chris.
A couple of different things.
First, I'd like to convey a hope for the new Millennium as well as a prediction.
First of all, my hope is that the people of the United States will realize that the legalization of marijuana is a necessity.
Oh, I think the people of the U.S.
have long now realized that.
Or at least, I don't know about necessity, I'm not sure that's the right word.
Well, maybe it is.
Maybe it is necessary to revisit the whole question of marijuana.
The trouble is, we came up with a president who had that stupid remark, Yeah, I see where you're coming from.
I thought the first Democrats that came along would legalize marijuana and then Clinton
comes along and says, boys, you didn't inhale.
Yeah, yeah.
I see where you're coming from.
Just from a medicinal standpoint, I believe that marijuana should at least be legalized
from that point of view.
Well, of course, there have been ballots, ballot initiatives, as you know.
And there probably is going to be more of that.
I mean, eventually it's going to move that way.
But we just can't seem to cross the line to get it finalized.
Yeah, I hear you.
As far as the prediction, this may have been mentioned earlier, I'm not positive, but in the year 2000, I believe that the first human clone will be perfected.
I don't think it's been mentioned.
Somebody did predict that for last year and I bonked it because we don't know about it.
This will definitely be the year.
But you're saying it will be a public matter?
Yes.
It will be in the public eye.
The time has come for the people to actually see the benefits of the cloning also from a standpoint of of giving people extended lives from donated organs from your clone.
Exactly.
And not a lot of people consider that to be a big benefit.
I mean, you do if you need a liver, for example.
Well, yes, sure.
But the clone is its own individual person.
Even though it's identical, it will have, because of environmental considerations and everything else, it'll be a A human being.
True.
As far as we know that's true.
Well, yeah, ripping its organs out on need or request is not going to go over real well with that person.
I think the problem that a lot of people have is they assume that the clone will automatically be enabled with a soul.
By looking at it that way I can see where from a vantage point of religion it's a touchy subject for people.
Right.
Well, I know if it was me, I'd say, I have a soul.
Keep your hands off my liver.
Sure.
Sure.
But I do agree with you that we are that close and we probably will clone a human.
For better or for worse, we're going to clone a human.
Oh, I hope so.
I hope so.
All right, sir.
All right.
Thank you and take care.
Wild Card Line, you're on the air.
Hello?
Hi.
Hi.
Turn your radio off.
Very important.
This is Dave from Kingdom of Night.
From where?
The Kingdom of Night.
Oh, here in Pahrump?
Yeah, gotcha again.
No kidding.
Uh, welcome.
Proceed.
Uh, I predict, uh, for the population of Pahrump to increase 30,000 more.
30,000 in one year?
Double.
Oh, man.
You could be right.
The freeway.
The freeway is why.
Yeah, I know.
Population of Trump doubles in one year.
That would be too much.
Yeah.
You could be right.
Yeah, it looks like it's going that way.
Me?
You know what I want?
What's that?
Walmart.
Where the hell is our Walmart?
If we had a Walmart out here, life would be complete.
It's supposed to have been on its way a couple of times.
I know, I know.
I've heard all the rumors, but I don't see any ground moving around for a Walmart yet.
I think that's where the population when it comes in.
That's what will come with it.
I appreciate your call, sir.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Oh, by the way, that's number 74.
Maybe you can get that Pizza Punk.
It's marketed for next year.
We'll see what we can do.
Okay.
All right.
Take care.
Use of the Rockies, you're on the air.
Hi.
Now that did not sound good at all.
What the hell was that?
Yeah, happy New Year Art.
Same to you.
This is Arnie in balmy downtown Fairbanks, Alaska.
I have a prediction.
I believe that you and Ramona will be involved in a highly successful business venture centered around the design and marketing of a line of casual clothing.
Yeah, based on the night people theme.
This will be very popular with the younger generation.
I really just have a gut feeling that it's going to be here.
Well, Ramona might certainly do something like that, but when it comes to me and clothing, if I didn't have Ramona, I'd be wearing the same thing every day.
Well, so would I if I didn't have my wife.
That's an interesting prediction.
It's number 75, by the way.
Oh, thank you.
So we'll see.
Thank you, Art.
All right, take care.
Me?
You know the piece of punch I do have?
That's all over my clothing.
First time calling a line, you're on the air.
Art, how you doing?
Happy New Year.
And same to you, sir.
Where are you?
Buffalo, New York.
Buffalo?
Yes.
Hey, I was wondering, did you happen to hear about the reference to yourself in the February issue of Guitar Player Magazine?
No.
What did they say?
Well, I did an interview with Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top.
Oh, yes.
And apparently on their new album, CD, whatever, they have a song called Treadmine Boogaloo.
They do indeed.
I've got a copy of it here.
OK.
And they use Ross Mitchell, my announcer, east of the Rockies, west of the Rockies, wild guard line.
OK.
Well, it says that the name of the song is based on the reggae expression dread, which means feared or cool.
So a drudgman is sort of a dude in the know.
That part of the title was inspired by Art Powell, who is the host of a late night AM
radio show we tune in after working in the studio.
I was so honored by that.
I mean ZZ Top, that's a sort of a way of being immortalized.
Sure.
So I was very honored.
Sure thing.
I'm pleased that he has such good taste.
Does he listen to the same radio as I do?
Oh, that's kind.
But I did not know it was in that magazine.
Oh, yeah.
I'll be darned.
Okay?
Yes, sir.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thanks for the information.
Wild Card Line, you're on the air.
Hi.
Hello, Art.
This is Tony from Gary, Indiana.
Hi, Tony.
And I wish you a very, very good New Year.
Thank you.
And I hope none of this bad stuff comes up for you.
All good.
I'll get right to it.
I do believe that in this year there will be a nuclear exchange.
Oh.
It may only be in one direction, but there will definitely be an aggressive use of a nuclear weapon.
Yeah, you've got to believe we're getting closer and it's going to happen eventually.
It's frightening, but I think things are getting out of hand and I think there's enough time and it just seems to be running that way.
It may not be major, but It'll be enough to really stir things up, because it's only happened once before.
I appreciate your call, sir.
And that's number 76.
And you know, I don't necessarily disagree with this caller.
Probably India and Pakistan.
Possibly North Korea.
And possibly something we don't even imagine.
One of the suitcase nukes.
Who knows?
But with a little bit of luck, There'll be a small loss of life if it occurs, and it will remind the world again why you don't use those things.
But I have a sneaky feeling the scholar's correct.
East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
Hi.
How you doing?
Okay.
Turn your radio off, please.
Yeah, just turn it off.
I'm in, my name's Sean.
I'm in Delaware.
Yes, sir.
And I'm also here in Monterey.
I was, when Sky was on, Yes.
Talking about the sunspots?
Yeah, he was right, by the way.
There is a storm going on right now.
Yeah.
Well, when the sunspots increase, doesn't the radio wave propagation increase?
Yes, as a general rule.
As the number of sunspots increase, propagation gets better and better on the shortwave bands, yes.
Prediction.
I predict that there are going to be more and more UFO sightings and possibly landings.
Oh, I'd agree with that.
More UFO sightings and maybe a landing, huh?
Yeah, I'm just a technician right now, but I'm working on the upgrade.
Well, they just, um... I heard about that.
You heard about that, huh?
Yeah, they recently... Five words per minute.
Yeah.
I know the code, but I just haven't had time to go up there and take the darn test.
A lot of older hams are going to really raise hell about that.
Yeah, I know.
But you know what?
They're wrong.
They're wrong, and I appreciate your calls, sir.
What the Commission has done is to reduce the code requirement for all classes of license, including the highest, to five words per minute, which is very, very slow and very easy to obtain.
And I'm glad they've done it.
It will increase the number of hands And I don't think the fear of the quality of the people obtaining licenses will be justified.
I think that you'll find that we'll still get a good group of people, and the technical test is still there, so they've got to know what they're doing.
What's to the Rockies?
You're on the air, huh?
Hi there, this is Olin in Culver City.
Yes, sir.
I think that Boris Yeltsin stepped down to let a younger, more energetic leader for winning the war in Chechnya and building the New World Order.
So I predict that Russia will conquer the Chechen oil fields next year.
Well, I'd say you're probably right about that.
This is a guy pursuing A victory in Chechnya, and I'm sure now he will really have his way, and there's going to be, who knows what's going to occur over there.
Well, that's right.
I understand that he's a military leader, so that could be bad.
Do you find it, as a matter of fact, he's a former KGB spy, do you find it strange that there has been no U.S.
reaction yet to the fact that Yeltsin just I don't even think they knew in Washington that it was going to happen.
Well, a lot of these things are done when there's something else taking up all the news headlines like Y2K and New Year's Eve.
So whatever did happen got buried in the Y2K New Year's Eve celebration.
Well it did, you're right, but in a way it also, it scared the hell out of me.
I mean here I was the night before and the millennium was just breaking when Yeltsin went on TV and resigned.
And do you think he resigned or was resigned?
Well, I think that he was resigned because they need to win that war in Chechnya and get those oil fields.
And if we're going to have a new world order next year, we need a younger, more energetic leader of the Soviet Union.
I mean, we're not going to have a new world order.
I hope not.
I think you're right about Chechnya, but I don't think you're right about the new world order.
Well, thank you very much for doing this.
Nevertheless, your prediction is registered, number 78.
Oh, is it?
All right.
Thank you.
You bet.
International Line, you're on the air.
Hello.
Oh, hi, Eric.
Hi.
Colin from Canada?
Yes, sir.
Vancouver Island.
Okay.
Has anybody mentioned the Royal Family tonight?
No.
Okay, well, I'm going to say that Prince Charles becomes king.
Prince Charles becomes king?
Yeah, and I'm not going to call him the Antichrist.
With a cup of tea or something?
No, I think he's a false prophet.
Really?
Not the Antichrist.
Yeah, I don't think he's the Antichrist either.
You remember the Brookings Report?
Of course.
Well, I think the problem still exists.
Look at how people have started freaking out about Y2K.
Actually, people, by and large, really didn't freak out about Y2K.
It was done rather smoothly, I thought, and you've got to give The authorities, some marks, good marks for that around the world.
They did pretty well.
Yeah, they handled it pretty good.
And so what about the landing?
What better person to tell the world that the aliens aren't that bad than a non-threatening person like the King of England?
A lot of people respect him.
A cup of tea.
Yeah.
Have a good one, Art.
Right, you too.
First time caller line, you're on the air.
Yeah, Art.
Yes.
This is Ron from Dead Man Lake, Alaska.
Hi, Ron.
I do that too.
I do it in the back, but I occasionally fly it.
I think we've got the French flag up there right now.
You don't remember me sending you that video then?
I vaguely do, but... Yeah.
I do that too. I do it in the back, but I occasionally fly it. I think we've got the French flag up there right now.
You don't remember me sending you that video then?
I vaguely do, but...
Yeah. Well, anyway, we've got about 62 below out here for the last two days now.
62 below?
62 below.
Where exactly are you?
We're towards Manly Hot Springs.
That would be about 80 miles west of Fairbanks.
West of Fairbanks?
Oh man, you are out in the middle of nowhere.
Yeah, well I live on a fly-in remote lake.
In fact, I don't have anybody around me right now for 10 miles away.
So, you're using what?
You obviously don't have a telephone there.
No, actually, you know, I used to have a radio telephone and I bought this cell phone and I bounced off of the mountains and picked the signal up from the tower near Fairbank.
No kidding?
Yeah, no kidding.
Well, it's working very well.
Actually, you sound better than a lot of people who are using portable phones down here.
Yeah, isn't it amazing?
Yeah, absolutely amazing.
Yeah, well it is.
Well, I'll tell you, Art, if you ever get up this way, you'll have to come out to the real bush.
This is the way to live.
You're in the real bush, all right.
No electricity, no running water.
Chop a hole through three to five feet ice to get my water.
And how the hell do you keep warm?
Right now, I got my wood stove put to 400 degrees.
It's just people stuffing the wood in there.
Me and my three cats.
You have three cats?
Yeah, three cats.
I imagine they stay pretty close to that wood stove.
They do, yeah.
Cats love warm places and cats.
Oh, they do.
And it's so great to talk to you, Art.
I just, you know, I know a lot of people out in the bush listening to you.
And you'd never hear from them because most people don't have communication out here.
I hear you.
Listen, I've got one last number 80 prediction if you would like to make it.
Yes, I would.
And I predict that the stock market is going to take a big rise.
How big?
I think it's going to go through the roof.
I think it's going to be fantastic this year.
Especially since this Y2K thing didn't turn out to be as bad as everybody thought.
I think you're making a really, really good point.
Yeah, in fact, another prediction I predicted after this cold snapped over, I'm going to go to Hawaii for Opie.
In other words, even for a hardened Alaskan, 62 below is pushing it a little bit, huh?
Yeah, well, I've been out here for six winters now, so it's as cold as I care to see it, you know.
I hear you.
Well, listen, you qualify, I think, as my most remote caller of the night.
Well, thank you, Art, and it's great talking to you, and keep it up.
Well, listen, tell everybody from the middle of nowhere goodnight, because there's... Well, you know, we were going to have a big New Year's party tonight, but everybody had to cancel because it was too cold for the snow machines and the dog sleds tonight, so... We were going to have a log cabin party about 15 miles from here, and...
My friends Bill and Cheryl cancelled out.
Well, tell them goodnight.
Okay, Art.
Goodnight.
Goodnight.
That's it, folks.
That's eight hours in a row.
Boy.
Long haul.
Long haul.
But it was fun.
Happy New Year, everyone.
Happy New Year, everyone.
Happy New Year to Samoa.
Yep.
Samoa is about to welcome the millennium, and that will make it complete all the way around the Earth.
That'll be Oh, about two and a half minutes from right now.
For me, that's it.
From the high desert, Art and Ramona, good night all.
AMA Portage, KXNT.
Ever wanted to see some local news?
We bring you the world.
CBS News.
I'm Bob Suss live in Appia, Samoa in the world's last time zone.
It was a long wait here on this South Pacific island, but midnight has just arrived, and people here have joined the rest of the world in welcoming the year 2000.
Outside, fireworks are going off over the South Pacific, while here inside the Chisapela Hotel, the party's going strong.
Samoa's just a short distance from the island of Tonga, where midnight first came 25 hours ago, the extra hour because of daylight savings time.
Here on the other side of the dateline, the arrival of midnight means the entire globe has now entered the 21st century.
I'm Bob Ross live in Apia, Samoa.
Now for more CBS News, here's Steve Kagan.
The new year is an hour old in Hawaii.
Fireworks in the 50th state marking the new millennium.
The big year 2000 party was in Times Square and CBS News correspondent Dan Raviv was there.
It all went well when the multicolored ball made of almost 700 halogen lights plus mirrors came down the pole high above Times Square.
The lights didn't go out on Broadway.
What happened to Washington?
It didn't happen.
It was a flop.
New Yorkers and out-of-towners totaling around one and a half million people filled Times Square.
Kind of crushing in from the back here.
It's a little tight squeeze, that's all, but it's a lot of fun.
Yeah, taste the animal.
It's worth it.
Definitely worth it, because it's the millennium.
Dan Raviv, CBS News, Times Square, New York.
In Washington, the ball was packed with people for fireworks and singing.
President Clinton toasted the 20th century and he looked ahead.
Never before have we had such a blessed opportunity And therefore such a profound responsibility to build the more perfect union of our founders' dreams.
In London, CBS News correspondent Kimberly Dozier watched the celebration there.
It's a sea of faces looking straight up.
A million people are down here waving sparklers and millennium flags.
We're right in the middle of the fireworks display over the River Thames.
This is the biggest fireworks display London has ever seen, and a fitting way to bring in Y2K in Britain.
Kimberly Dozier, CBS News, London.
The Millennium Bug didn't bite all around the globe.
Things, for the most part, seem to be working normally.
Just minor problems here and there.
No blackouts, no ATM problems.
And Transportation Secretary, Rodney Slater, says people are having no trouble getting around.
There have been no significant interruptions or Y2K-related difficulties in aviation, or for that matter, In other modes of transportation, rail, maritime, highways, transit, and pipelines.
There was a problem with time at the U.S.
Naval Observatory.
Right after the year 2000 was welcomed along the East Coast, the webpage for the observatory claimed the year was 19,100.
But there was no problem with the master clock at the Naval Observatory, which loses a second every three million years.
This is CBS News.
Friends, this is Larry King.
Most of you know me as a straight shooter, so when I endorse a product or a company, it's good.
One person glad to see the year 2000 is Matt Sanders.
The 23-year-old Texas college student survived for nearly a week on a Swiss mountain.
He found shelter under a rock, protection from hurricane-force winds and sub-zero temperatures.
He's in a hospital now.
He's okay, but he may lose some toes because of frostbite.
In Olathe, Kansas, a woman who said she was upset over losing her job took hostages at a bank.
The standoff ended an hour after midnight.
When the woman surrendered, no one was hurt.
A lot of people rang in the New Year traditionally with champagne, but in New Orleans, it was a Bloody Mary, and there was plenty to go around.
We have enough Bloody Mary to serve 15,000 drinks.
And DeConn Abbey helped serve it out of a 10-foot tall glass.
Nobody has ever created a Bloody Mary this big.
And in New Orleans style, typically they said goodbye to 1999 with a jazz funeral.
Steve Cape in CBS News.
Nonsense!
Who says you can't eat the food you love?
Hello, this is Art Bell.
What you are about to hear is a special New Millennium tape featuring futurist Gordon Michael Scallion and technical remote viewer Ed Dames, Major Ed Dames.
Now, I've interviewed Scallion several times in the past.
He's the real McCoy.
His predictions for our future leave most of us underwater or with beachfront property.
Be forewarned, much of the content of this program may be disturbing and is not meant for the faint of heart.
Let's find out who Gordon Michael Scallion is and what may be in store for us.
Gordon Michael Scallion in the middle of a business meeting, in the middle of a presentation.
They took him to the hospital.
He had some serious experiences in the hospital.
He saw visions.
He saw a woman who told him certain things were going to happen within 30 days.
They did happen.
In successive years, he treated as many as 10,000 people with what he saw and was able to see about these people, medical things, what was wrong with them, what might correct it under some conditions, about two-thirds of the time.
And then that phase ended, that predictive Medical help phase ended and another phase began Gordon saw things the easy way to explain it is three TV screens with three possible futures for an individual or for a
a continent or I suppose the world and one of these screens would be
brighter than the others or perhaps there would be gradients between them and the brightest would be the most
likely and so forth I think you get the idea at any rate the phase with helping people
personally ended and then what happened Gordon?
Then I began to have a series of nightmares again I had this
one dream where I was told that that part of my life that work I was doing was over and that I would
very shortly have a new series of things that I would be doing and would need to do
and And it was very vague.
So the second night I began to see the earth as the same way that I would see people.
I would see three different earths, and each night I would see things happening, such as volcanoes would erupt.
And then I would look at a city, for example, and I would see the city in one color, and the other two screens would be different colors.
One would be very vibrant, the other would be almost gray or black.
Just the way you... Same way.
And it was at that point that I... it just hit me.
I mean, I should have known this all my life as a child.
I just didn't.
I didn't get it.
I realize that the earth was sentient.
It was a living entity with its own consciousness.
Obviously different than ours, but yet able to communicate just as we do if we only took the time to listen.
And I think the natives peoples of the world have always done that.
And I just think in our busy society we have just shut down so many things of our awareness.
I'm just a lay observer with regard to the weather, but it's obvious there is a profound change underway.
Now, the only question I have as a casual observer is, is this change we're in short and cyclical or long and profound and serious?
What are we into?
More tornadoes?
You were right about that.
You called that one on money.
And violent weather all over the place.
What are we in for?
Where are we going with this?
Is it going to get better or worse?
We're actually... This is part of a cycle.
El Nino is a cycle, but it's forced scientists to rethink cycles.
It's forced them to look at things much differently because they were much longer, much more intense than they ever have been before.
And it seems like we've been in this cycle For years now.
And what we're seeing is each year we're seeing an increase in the amount of weather-related destruction.
You know, in December of last year, from my predictions for 99, the key things that I saw, at least for the United States, was record numbers of tornadoes and floods that far exceeded the floods that I had predicted for 93, the Mississippi floods, far beyond that.
And so we're going to see this year, weather-related issues, massive floods, and the tornadoes are going to continue.
What's happening to us, Gordon?
The trigger for all of this, I believe, can be found in the core of the Earth.
I believe, I address it pretty thoroughly in my book, Notes on the Cosmos, where I talk about how The core of the Earth has shifted its position ever so slightly.
But that's set into motion a lot of changes that's forcing magma to change its directions and it's literally outputting more heat, if you will, or allowing more heat to exit through the various layers.
Since the Earth is predominantly water, it makes sense logically to me that that heat is going to end up in the oceans.
So this is energy coming from within?
Coming within.
And I believe that this is the true cause of El Nino.
I believe that the winds and the current scientific theory only drives it, but the source of it, the initial source, is coming from within the Earth.
Now, coupled to that is something that both you and I know from our ham radio experiences, that the Sun also goes through a cycle of approximately 22 years.
We know it as the 11-year Sunspot Cycle.
Yes.
And we're coming up to cycle to 23, I believe.
As a matter of fact, Gordon, 48 hours ago, for the first time in the Ascension portion of 23, we hit a solar flux index of over 200.
Yeah, that was another prediction that I had made in my book and also had said later last year, I said it in my predictions for 99, was that things to watch for was that we would start to have massive amounts of solar emissions.
That in turn feeds back to the Earth and causes more heat to come out of the Earth as well.
So it's like a symbiotic relationship that's dancing back and forth.
All of this is caused by the precession of the equinox or the cycle of our Earth's rotation in the Sun system.
As we go through the ages of... Most people are familiar with the astrological ages of Aquarius and Pisces and so forth.
That grand cycle is approximately 26,000 years.
And at the extremes of that cycle, approximately 13,000 years, there is massive devastation on the Earth.
The last one we had was approximately 12,500 years ago, where we had all the weather changes on the planet.
It was global.
That's where they found the thousands upon thousands of animals frozen in Russia and strident.
The 13,000 year mark, is that a precise mark, Gordon?
I don't think it's as precise as some of the people who follow this and believe in this concept.
I think from a geological or even an astronomical point of view, it's relatively accurate, but accurate to within 100 years, 50 years.
I don't know, but I know that they've done core samples, and through those core samples, they're able to date times that the Earth's magnetic field has changed its positions.
Now, that's something that in our lifetime we haven't experienced, but through cores, we can see that there's a cycle there.
That cycle seems to be running about 12,000 to 13,000 years.
Research that I've heard about all of this, Gordon, seems to indicate now that these changes, they originally thought, occurred over very long periods of time.
Now, they're beginning to say, well, you know what?
Maybe, according to the core samples, the changes occurred quite rapidly.
The information that I follow, at least the scientific papers that come across my desk and are mailed to me, A lot of these are by people who are with JPL or NASA.
There's a very large scientific body who send me things very quietly, some anonymously and some actually put their names on it.
Right.
And they tell me that, you know, when I started doing predictions even in the early 80s, it was thought to be, like you said, maybe over 150 years time period this thing could have happened.
Right.
Because of our technology today and our more accurate way of dating, we went from 150 years to maybe 50 years to maybe 10 years, and now they think they've got it down.
They definitely have it down to the actual month and probably the week in the month that it happened.
Wow.
They're able to do this by digging up some of the mastodons that were frozen in stride and they still had buttercups in their mouths.
They were still digesting food.
And by looking at the flowers, they could tell what time of the year it was.
They knew exactly what time of the year it was, and the same flowers are growing today in that same area.
So they know that part of it.
Now the next part of it was how to get it down.
So they're down now to less than 10 years when it could have happened, and they're probably thinking this thing could have happened within months.
Eventually, it'll be known that this thing happened literally in days.
In days, my God.
Well, you know, some thousands or hundreds of thousands of years from now, whatever it is, they look back at us with the amount of preservatives that we put in food right now.
They'll be able to look into the mouths of woolly human beings and it'll be very well preserved, whatever it is.
Anyway, so the changes that we are now in, that we're experiencing right now, I mean I could open up the phone lines and take report after report from Canada to Mexico and all the way across and everybody would say something is wrong with the weather.
I mean really wrong with the weather and so obviously we want to know where it goes from here and how fast the current cycle of changes will put us into a strange position or worrisome The last year, as you know, the last time I was on your show, I had, I think it was July of last year, I had said that I really felt that there were great changes coming up by November, weather-wise, and that it wouldn't surprise me if we had some massive solar flares and also I felt that the temperature of the planet had just increased and we were probably going to break a record.
So last year we did break a temperature record.
I expect that that's going to happen again.
Doesn't make sense.
The scientific community is saying no.
The reason that I think that the weather changes are just beginning, not trailing off as being reported, is because we now have another cycle adding to our own Earth core shift.
And that's the solar flare cycle that we're into now.
And these flares Are going to be much higher.
And the magnitude is such that it's going to cause shifts in the jet stream.
So we're going to see incredible amounts of moisture that's going to come to the deserts of the United States.
California.
Nevada.
Nevada.
You're going to see that.
Arizona.
Massive amounts of water is going to be dumped there.
Also Mississippi again.
Down in Missouri.
Throughout the the states. So we're going to see all that water as that
jet stream changes and the currents are that are driving change. As flares continue to occur,
if many of these regions happen to be pointed in the right direction or perhaps it's the
wrong direction and the Earth takes some major hits, these hits are going to not only disrupt
electrical. I mean, everybody's worried about Y2K, but the grid is what we really should be
worried about.
And that's what I see, uh, happening.
So, you know, the night, tornadoes, hailstorms, I mean, the size of softballs.
I mean, massive amounts of damage from hail.
And then, uh, the winds that will pick up, not only tornadoes, but just very strong I'm a little concerned.
Now, I kind of know where you're going here.
I know a little bit about this, Gordon.
You're now talking to the proud new owner of a hundred foot steel tower above his head.
Wins, huh?
Yeah, but I'm sure you put it up so it's good for at least 150 miles an hour.
I did.
You're all good.
I did indeed.
But I'm a little concerned.
Now, I kind of know where you're going here.
As we, I know a little bit about this, Gordon.
As we get hit with flares or ejecta from the sun, we are ostensibly protected by our magnetic
field.
But there have been disturbing reports of fluctuations in the magnetic field lately,
and I've had some people say we could get hit with such a big one that it would, that
the Earth's magnetic field would somehow not quite protect us from it.
And the results of that would be quite catastrophic.
Thank you.
It could be the trigger for a magnetic pole shift.
In fact, my visions have indicated that that's exactly what will happen.
Not necessarily this year, though it may begin in some small level this year.
When those flares hit, and the magnetosphere just bulges out, and when it couples into the Earth, and we get what we know as auroras, aurora borealis, when we couple that kind of energy in, it creates not only disturbances electrically at the poles, but that same disturbance ...becomes part of the electrical system of the Earth and the magnetic field of the Earth.
Now, one thing that is going on now, and has been going on for some time, is that the Earth's... the strength of the Earth's magnetic field has been declining.
And it's been declining steadily.
That's what I've heard.
Now we know in the past, due to these core sample tests that they took all around the
world, they knew that just before the poles shifted their position, the magnetic poles
now shifted their position, that the magnetic field dropped.
And so we're in that cycle as well.
So this is just like another thing that we can look at to say what kind of things are
really going on that may have some past credibility.
We study the past scientifically so that we can then predict the future.
And so I believe that we're going to have some whopper flares and before the Y2K hits,
the flares will have already hit.
If there should be a virtual cessation for a period of time of the Earth's magnetic field, which could occur, and many people are saying may, and we were to get hit by a large flare, that would do the trick, wouldn't it?
In other words... It could be.
A way of looking at it is, remember those little Scotty dogs, one black, one white magnets they used to put on your refrigerator?
Absolutely.
And if you took the two scotty dogs and you pushed them together, they repelled each other.
And if you turned it around, they would attract each other.
Standard magnet that you play with.
Sure.
And it's a really good experiment for people to do, to go in some kind of a hobby shop or a radio shop or someplace and pick up some magnets and just kind of play with them.
And because when you have it in your hand and you see what it does, you then can have an understanding that the Earth is just this big, huge magnet.
And as a result of that, You can clearly see that there's a point where if it's not in balance or in harmony, then it's susceptible to shifting.
That flare, when it does occur, I believe will be the trigger.
And it will flip the magnetic field.
I don't see a complete reversal.
I describe it in some detail again in my book, but basically what I say is that I see the magnetic field Shifting towards the West.
Not all magnetic shifts, pole shifts, have been 180 degrees.
There have been various amounts.
The ones that I see going 6 or 7 degree increments to the West, or towards the Pacific Ocean, for example, with reference looking at the United States and Canada being at 12 o'clock, it moves to the West.
Seven degrees, six to seven degrees, three different times before it stabilizes itself.
Oh my, Gordon, we've had that occur already.
If we went through a shift, a partial shift, the kind you described a little while ago, what would happen to us?
Even a permanent shift of a few degrees would be catastrophic.
What happens, definitely, we shift all the elements of the Earth.
Uh, we're going, it'll, it would create, uh, the, the steering winds of the planet, uh, would shift very abruptly.
Uh, if it was seven degrees, um, like I see happen three times, or a total of, you know, uh, twenty-some degrees, um, that would be significant enough so that the weather of the entire planet would change, and it would happen almost instantly.
The first thing that would happen is that The shift would occur, obviously electrical devices are going to have, you know, the grid is going to have a problem, especially if it was triggered by a solar flare.
That was the cause of it.
Right.
Immediately, high and low pressure points of the planet change, and winds would start probably within minutes, and build in force, and so we would see winds uh...
two three four two miles an hour uh... that would
move at different places on the planet uh...
the other thing that were not seen typhoons here south pacific islands and the sudan ones i lived on one of
the build flat concrete houses because of the winds
uh... three or four hundred mile an hour when gordon would uh...
was in my food actually flatten islands completely and take every structure off
Poof!
Gone.
Like it doesn't exist.
Three to four hundred miles an hour.
There wouldn't be anything left.
Even more difficult is, since our planet is a majority of water, we're going to see water being pushed everywhere.
So water movement would be incredible.
We would see tsunamis.
That could be, could reach, you know, Empire State Building kind of heights and beyond.
Somewhere that energy has got to be dissipated.
If we look at it as an energy being released, it's like the magnetic shift is like, you know, letting off lots of nuclear bombs and that energy is going to spread out and it's going to take up, move into different portions.
So it's, the planet itself is always trying to seek a balance.
And the most probable scenario would be is that such a shift, of course, is going to move the plate tectonic system of the planet.
So then you're going to have that energy moving.
We today, scientifically, do not know what creates the magnetic field in the Earth.
That's true.
I'm sorry?
That's true.
You're right.
We don't know.
It's one of those mysteries, you know.
You know, you go back and look at textbooks of things you learned in college, and it just isn't true.
I mean, these are theories, and there's two or three different theories that are out there.
I've shared my theory in my book of what I think it is, and that's that the Earth itself has boundaries or layers.
It's almost like a solid-state device.
That's the only way I could describe it.
And it's these boundaries that indeed create it, and it creates it as a result of an electrical connection between the Sun and the Earth.
In other words, as we go around the Sun, the Earth is sort of like a motor.
You could think of it like a motor, and there is energy generated within the Earth itself as a matter of this rotation.
Is that fair?
I think in part it's fair, yes.
The Sun, because of its Of its mass and its dynamics, you know, it has poles, too, and it's going through its own pole shift, I think, currently, right now.
You bet.
And that energy, you know, comes to the Earth.
We're more familiar with it as sunlight, you know, and so we see that, and we may know a little bit about cosmic rays and things of this nature.
But what is not understood is that the Earth receives that energy And then it sends it back.
It's sinusoidal in form.
It's a wave that comes to the earth and goes back and forth.
And it's not only heat and light, it's gravity and magnetism and color and sound.
I mean, there's seven layers or bands or rays that's exchanged between the sun and the earth.
So anything that goes on in the sun is going to go on in the earth.
Makes sense.
What do you know, or what can you tell us, about what you believe to be the makeup of the inner Earth itself?
There's much argument about that.
We've talked about it before, but it bears touching on.
In other words, what really is down, going toward the core of the Earth?
Can you draw a picture of that?
Again, it's one of those things that scientifically we do not know.
Right, that's right.
So the only thing that we do know is, you know, there's a lot of research being done by sending Various waves to the Earth, and by doing that, we know some things.
We can speculate that the Earth core moves at a different speed, which is one of the predictions I had made years ago that just was proven out last year.
It moves at a different speed than the outer crust.
I remember that prediction.
What I see, and again, what I describe in the book, is that there's an incredible amount of heat You know, that's generated.
I mean, the heat is hot enough to melt rock.
But, you know, in my visions and discussions with my guides, as we get closer to the core of the Earth, some theories are that it's a solid iron core.
Iron core.
That's our magnetism.
That's not what I see at all.
What I see is a plasma.
It's like this energy, and if I can describe it as an energy, and the word that my guide said is, it's a plasma.
It's under incredible pressure from the heat.
The heat wants to escape out of the thing.
The Earth is cooling.
It's slowly cooling.
Very slowly cooling.
But it gets rejuvenated because of the sun's energy that comes to it.
So it's constantly being rejuvenated.
But over billions of years, we could say the Earth is slowly cooling.
And the outer crust is more solid than the inner crust.
If your question was, is there a hollow core Earth theory, is that true?
Not by my visions.
So you envision a plasma at the center?
A plasma at the center.
A high-intensity plasma, and that as you move out from the center core of the Earth, we have these layers.
Scientifically, I think they've identified what they believe to be 5, 6, or 7.
I see 7 of these main layers, but I see 49 total layers as I go from the core out.
Each of these layers have a different polarity.
So it's like a series of magnets.
North-south, north-south, north-south, north-south, and so forth.
Engine.
An engine.
Virtually a generator.
Yeah.
Actually a generator, really.
And, of course, engines are generators, or motors are generators.
I should have said motor, really.
And that's what we are, is a giant kind of motor, I guess.
I remember you saying that you thought there had been a shift of magma or plasma.
I'm not sure which.
I'll ask you now.
The shift, I believe, was significant.
occur Is it a very tiny shift with giant results for us or what
the shift I believe was significant One of the one of the long-standing
Predictions for for cataclysmic events on the earth that Casey published
Was that That when certain volcanoes became active and he talked
about Italy being coming active and he also talked about Pele
very specifically in Martinique specifically in Martinique.
He talked about those two.
He said if each of those become active, then mega-earth changes would occur.
And then he said something to the effect that somehow they were in harmony together.
He passed over in 1945, so we didn't have the ability to go back and ask him what he meant, or if he could update that.
Because since he said that, there has been activity in Italy, of course, many times during the war.
There was significant activity, such that they bombed the volcanoes to keep the smoke out, so the bombers could get to their missions.
What I see is an actual passageway, if you will, or conduit, that goes between Uh, South America, the Caribbean, it's like a Y there, uh, and all the way under the Atlantic Ocean, and then up where Italy is, in particular, uh, Etna and Vesuvius.
So, if you can see, like, an underground river of magma flowing between those two places.
My prediction was that, um, I think things have changed since Cayce's time, and, uh, I felt that if there was ever any significant activity in the Caribbean, um, So, and at the same time that there was activity at Aetna,
if they both simultaneously became active, very active, then that was kind of a key to me that that prediction
about the underground magma connection was true, and that we were getting real close.
This is the end of side one.
Stop the tape, flip it over, Rewind and begin again.
Now when you have visions, I thought you described them so well once on the program
as three television screens.
Two being sort of a black and white or weak color and one being a very contrasty I couldn't have said it better.
That's exactly as I see it.
I think it is a very good question. I think it is a very good question. I think it is
a very good question. I think it is a very good question. I think it is a very good question.
I think it is a very good question. I think it is a very good question.
I think it is a very good question. I think it is a very good question.
I started having a series of dreams.
Each night I have at least five or six that I can recall and then in the morning when I get up I take notes about the ones that I realize that are just about my life and my health and what I need to be doing and ones that relate to the earth and things that I need to pay attention to and if I don't pay attention the dream will repeat itself until I finally do.
Now once I do, once I say okay there's something here Then I'll see these three images.
It's like going to an electronics TV showroom where they have all these TVs playing except that there are three of them.
I can look at it one day and then I can go back a month later and call up that same image.
Once I see the image, it's like a database.
It's locked in there.
I can always recall it instantly.
What information do you actually get?
Do you see the disasters as if from space here on Earth?
How does the information appear to you?
It had various ways.
In the beginning, it was from space, looking back, and then seeing it as a distance, so I got the overall picture, and then future visions would show me a little closer.
A hundred miles instead of 10,000 miles out.
So that would be the first go round.
Then later, when I started seeing these movies, it would just depend on how much time I wanted to spend.
If I stay in it too long, the headaches come, and then I lose everything.
Then I'm usually in bed for a day or two.
So I've had to learn how to pace myself.
When these visions start, I very quickly look for key things.
Sometimes the visions Uh, move very fast.
It's like watching a movie that's running at high speed.
Um, and then I look for elements, like, uh, uh, the place on the planet it might be.
The time of the season, you know, the leaves on the trees.
Is it a warm climate?
Is it a cold climate?
Sometimes I'll even see a newspaper.
That's what happened with, uh, with Northridge.
Uh, I knew, you know, I saw the newspaper, I saw the month of the newspaper, and I knew that the month and the year it would happen.
On rare occasions the newspaper will stay for a second or two and I can actually get the actual day.
That's a rarity.
Usually I get the month and I can see the year and the month of it.
Some of the predictions that I published this year I received in 1983.
So I had to wait all these years for these things to unfold.
Sometimes they change.
It's like the three images.
I can look at the image, see these three screens and say, wow, it looks like this is really going to happen.
I can go back a year or two later and look at the same three screens and they may change.
The one that looked most probable, the bright colored one, may now be a muted color.
And the little screen, which would have been weaker, may be stronger.
When I asked you how inevitable, if we go back to the screens that you see, when you began to look at the near-term changes, when they began to seem very near-term, as in beginning in July, how definitive were the pictures you were getting?
I was hoping you were going to ask that one tonight.
Each December, I do a special meditation with family.
Sometimes some friends, for predictions for the upcoming year.
It's a very deep trance state.
As you know, I'm limited to my own physical strength these days, so I have to take it easy.
At that time, one of the questions that was asked to me was, what did the screen show?
The response that came back from one of my guides was that, of the world. I have a lot of friends who are in the
business of making money. I have a lot of friends who are in the business of making money. I
have a lot of friends who are in the business of making money. I have a lot of
friends who are in the business of making money. I have a lot of friends who are in the
business of making money. I have for watching.
The variables in there will be the exact position of the coastlines.
How did you know that?
You told me.
Did I tell you that?
Yeah, I can't take credit for a futurist thing like that.
You told me.
But that, it's really close to that.
The variables in there will be the exact position of the coastlines.
You will lose up to, pretty close to a third of the United States landmass.
Is this going to be as the result, I mean, the weather, the wind, the tornadoes, the hurricanes, the earthquakes, all of this is occurring, but what you're describing would take probably a pole shift to accomplish.
Yeah.
Again, you're right on.
Let me just read a very short paragraph from Notes from the Cosmos, my book, which kind of summarizes your question.
This is the paragraph that my dream teacher, or my guide, asked me when I was thinking about doing the Earth Changes report.
When I was thinking about Earth Changes at the time, I was seeing these visions and I wanted to know, I went to bed that night and said, Why am I saying these things?
Here's the response.
A magnetic pole shift is already underway.
It began in the mid-1930s as a result of a shift in the position of the Earth's core relative to the pole star, which would be Polaris, currently.
Just as earthquakes and volcanoes are caused by electromagnetic forces, so are pole shifts.
Plate tectonic movement is only a reaction to these forces.
What you have seen in your visions can aid the many.
Others shall come forward now to increase awareness.
Here's your Hopi friends coming forward to you.
Increase awareness of the coming procession and the solar cycle and the beginning of a new age.
This is to be a millennium of peace and greater light for all.
And yet, as has been indicated to you often, if community is born anew, if there is a spiritual ideal for each entity, if intuition is followed by each, Then indeed, such a cataclysm as you have witnessed can be lessened.
I responded in my guide, I said, well, can it be eliminated?
The response was, all things are possible.
You have witnessed the most probable future Earth.
Whether it comes to pass depends upon the people.
Warn the people now.
So that passage from Notes on the Cosmos was the impetus for me to eventually release the information that I had had for years, but was afraid to.
And it is directly related to a pole shift.
That this was something that had already begun and that it would manifest itself in very significant ways.
In other words, we would literally know that this is going on.
It is my belief, through my phone conversations with people at JPL and NASA and other people who quietly call me who are working on the Soho Project and others, from what they're telling me is that it is known That there are magnetic changes in the sun and the earth currently going on, and they're studying it.
That's the response.
That's all they say.
Yeah.
Now currently, the magnetic field of the earth has been in a constant state of decay.
It's part of a normal cycle.
Right.
But usually what's happened in the past is when it's decayed, it's like getting ready to flip to a new direction.
Now, when you say flip, there's very little or no disagreement in the scientific community that pole reversals take place.
Is it your view that they take place when that final moment comes nearly instantaneously, or is it a longer period of time?
I think much of it depends upon the particular energies at play during the cycle.
For example, About every 12,000 years, we have some kind of a magnetic shift.
So it's like the stresses are in place.
How the Earth responds can vary.
I mean, in the past, I think ice was responsible for a pole shift, not necessarily just a magnetic pole shift, but an actual geocentric shift.
The beginnings of those, I believe, occurred in the 30s, and then I believe it occurred again in the late 80s, and I believe it occurred again the mid 90s, so I think we've seen three very small shifts,
little jolts I would call them, and then a quiet time period and now it's getting prepared
to do, I think, its first jolt, which again will occur sometime within the three-year
window.
And when this comes, there will be high winds, there will be volcanic action, I guess,
there will be tectonic movement.
Correct. Tectonic movement, as I just read from notes in the Cosmos, is directed by magnetic forces.
Electromagnetic forces is what is the driving force.
All of this, in turn, affects the basic elements.
Earth, air, water, fire.
When those things are put out of proportion in any fashion, any one of them, you then
increase pressures and then tectonic plates move.
Of course, anywhere in the world where there is stress, you get it.
Of course, most of our populations are on coastal areas.
That's right.
So you are going to see it.
Most people, at least in the United States, tend to think that these things are out on
the West Coast.
It's not going to bother me here in Texas or it's not going to bother me here in New
York.
And yet, that's not at all what I'm seeing.
I'm just seeing that it occurs first on the West Coast because it's the most stressed area.
Right.
But it will affect the East Coast as well as other continents.
Well, you must have looked at your own situation, selfishly at least.
New Hampshire?
Yeah.
I would like very much to tell you and your listeners that I made this conscious decision years ago as a result of what I saw.
Unfortunately, as I state in my book, that's not what happened.
I had a series of dreams that showed me a map and told me to go to this specific area.
It didn't say why, it just said you need to go to this area.
I didn't pay any attention to it and then it just repeated itself.
Finally, I drove up.
Basically, I've always lived in a city and a rural life was not something that was part
of my plan.
My plan was to be on the water always.
So I came up here and I looked at it and I said, no, this is not for me.
This is way too isolated.
It never stopped.
and then it never stopped. The dreams were at least once or if not twice a week. So after
about a year we found that things in our lives had changed and we needed to move.
And so I said, well, this is the perfect opportunity to go back to the Gulf Coast of Florida and live there.
Even though I had that experience there, I still felt good in the sun and I enjoyed the salt water and enjoyed sailing.
I wanted to go back with my family.
And doors just weren't open to me.
And then finally, in desperation, we had sold our house and in desperation we went We're back up here and drove by a place and all of a sudden I found myself turning up in the driveway not knowing why.
The person came out and I said, do you know of any land or property for sale?
He said, yeah.
He said, this place is.
So looking back with hindsight now I can see the reasons why.
This helped me learn about community, self-sufficiency, gardening.
It led me to live the things that I would in the future be talking about.
So instead of just talking about it, I actually lived these things.
When you and I did a show previously, you said you saw on the West Coast visions of shattered glass.
You saw thousands or millions of refugees coming from California over the mountains.
Does that vision remain the same?
Yes, and even in a non-visual sense, if we just look at recent occurrences that have occurred in cities, we can see what happens when the ground shakes.
You can get a building to sway if you've engineered it correctly, like in Japan and some of the new construction on the West Coast, that they can take a force, you know, 6, 7 or even an 8 earthquake.
Although the quakes I see are going to be 10, 12, 15 in the future.
So when these buildings start swaying and you get winds that whip up to two or three hundred miles an hour, you're going to see these glass panes popping out.
And I would see them in the streets.
They would fill up the streets and you couldn't... they would bury cars in shattered glass.
And then I saw caravans of cars, lights on, at night, heading over the desert, heading from California into what I call tent cities.
Is this likely to begin to occur with the first shift?
in Nevada and there were just streams of traffic on the highways and just tents set up by,
Yes.
you know, like the military was bringing in huge tents, you know, thousands of tents.
Is this likely to begin to occur with the first shift?
Yes.
Yeah, it'll occur.
There'll be some major shaking quakes that will occur first and more than likely, it
Gordon, when will the West Coast go underwater?
At least the quakes will begin this summer.
The actual date of the shift, I'll have to wait until I get something that's more definitive.
I just know the window of it.
But I'm quite certain that we're going to see major, major quakes, things that are going
to be greater than seven.
All right.
Here's a blatant question for you.
Gordon, when will the West Coast go underwater?
Will there be any warning?
The warnings have already been given.
Before the water actually comes and the coastline gets changed and California becomes what I call, in my book, the Isles of California, about 150 of them, before those happen, the major cities, San Francisco, L.A.
and San Diego, down to the Baja, Those things get shaken literally to the point where it's like watching a movie.
I escaped to L.A.
or New York.
It looks like that in my vision.
So those things occur shortly before the water comes in.
Water and inundations may actually occur in that line from Salt Lake to Bakersfield as well.
We may see water being displaced as land masses shift before that.
The next quakes that are going to come are going to be big ones.
The warning signs of the smaller ones, the ones that we predicted, such as Northridge and others, those have already occurred.
So I fully expect now that the next ones will be the big ones.
And by big ones, the ones that their epicenters are right in the cities of L.A.
and San Francisco and San Diego.
So that's the West Coast.
And that will occur first.
The first one that I have seen is actually in the New York area.
New York, Long Island, Connecticut.
That's the first one that I've seen.
It's a massive shift.
but does go in gordon foresee this danger for all of the northeast in other words boston
as he does for new york
the first one that i have being is actually uh...
is in the new york area near or not connect at the first one that i've seen
it that the massive uh...
shift in the uh... something to do it for the for the summer
off in that area whether it's the will release at that time or the warning
but i'd like very concerned about that but
the the east coast have uh... like a black boston boston in philadelphia or
do people know about it have had
probably massive earthquake in the past hundred years ago
like a new madrid you know but there populations were very low then
And we weren't building our skyscrapers and homes on landfills.
Things were different then, and even so, those were massive earthquakes back then, A-plus range.
So, we will see technonic movement that will affect, you know, if we were to take a line, for example, and drew a line from New Brunswick and swung that line from New Brunswick down to, you know, somewhere around Augusta, What about our central landmasses?
Just do a general line along that path.
Along that path we are going to see a lot of landmass changes and water.
Generally if you are on the water or close to the water you are at high risk.
Just watch the hurricanes and you can see that happening and floods which are coming
too very soon by the way.
What about our central landmasses?
What about the middle of the country?
The middle of the country fares fairly well.
Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, most of Texas, New Mexico, the central portion, Montana, southern Canada, those do not change.
They go through effects, but as far as massive land mass changes, where you see land sinking and water levels rising, I don't see those in the air.
I mean, I see Earth movements.
I mean, you can't move a tectonic plate without shuddering the whole planet.
And so, you know, when these things happen, you won't be able to stand wherever you are on this planet.
You won't be able to stand?
You will fall to your knees when the shuddering... It's the shuddering effect, even though the event may be affecting you a thousand or five or ten thousand miles away.
But the central portions do a lot better.
There are a lot of portions in between where the New Mississippi will be and the East Coast.
There is a lot of area in there.
The easiest thing that I was able to do was to create a map of it.
How big is that map?
The map is five feet by four feet.
Five feet, that's giant.
So many people have said, why can't you just put it on an eight and a half by eleven?
On the website you get an idea of what it is.
You can literally see the impact of what I'm talking about.
But when you're talking about the world, it's very difficult because people really want
to know where they are relative to the map.
Of course.
I took at least a period of five to six years before I ever considered.
I had made maps for myself, but I never released it for years.
First, people weren't ready to hear it.
Second, part of me was in denial.
I was really hoping that this was Well, I understand why you're torn.
The Hawaiian Islands and Alaska, I always get berated for not asking you about those.
part of me says I probably waited too long and the other part of me says the fact that
I did it was probably the correct thing to do whenever I did it.
Well, I understand why you're torn.
The Hawaiian Islands and Alaska, I always get berated for not asking you about those.
Of course, the Hawaiian Islands are born of volcanism.
There's constant...
It's one of the places around the world where you can actually watch islands being built
and real estate increasing.
So it's logical to assume that that is going to increase.
I see most of those islands being severely inundated.
I think there will still be some areas at the high elevations that will survive.
Uh, but most of them, uh, the biggest problem I see is, um, is water movement.
Um, you know, when Krakatoa went off, you know, it sent a tidal wave around the world several times, and the shockwave reverberated for, it seems like ever.
Um, and they talked about these mile-high waves that were regenerated from that one volcanic eruption.
So, here we've got, you know, changes in the west coast, Changes in Japan that I'm predicting will begin this year, and so that's going to create waves.
I think they're very high risk to wave motion.
There are early warning systems in place to warn of a tidal wave.
You could have advance warnings of five hours, maybe even ten hours in some cases.
Unfortunately, I don't know where you would go, except for the higher I think everybody should.
My suggestion is everybody should, wherever you are in the world, you should just think about what would you do if it happened tomorrow?
What if a hurricane came?
What if a major earthquake?
Where would you go?
What would you do?
Plan that out accordingly.
That's what we've done.
I have an emergency kit that I keep in my car.
We've developed a very strong community here in our neighborhood for growing and watering.
We can get off of everything and survive here for quite a while.
You know what, Gordon?
I think that people are suddenly, and I bet you're getting it in your mail and your email too, all the communication that you get from people, thousands and tens or hundreds of thousands of people.
The Sea Crane Company sells this emergency radio with a light.
All of a sudden, about three weeks ago, It went unaccountably crazy.
I mean, when I say crazy, I mean totally beyond all reason.
And the ability of them to keep stock or even manufacture it at a fast enough rate.
And people started ordering.
Now that tells me that people are, you know, even for the thicker folks out there, the less sensitive, I'll be kind, it's beginning to sink in.
Intuitively.
You cannot turn on Yes, you're right.
Intuitively, more and more people are getting the message, but the other part of it is the real world data, which is what I look at, and that is that you can't turn on television without seeing some kind of a disaster show that's based on real fact and the nightly news.
I mean, 22 tornadoes in one 24-hour time period all around the country.
That's unheard of.
I know.
So people now are saying, you know, wow, I've got to do something.
And so those are the first Then there was the NBC piece the other night, when they said that the weather appears to be permanently changing, and it's as though, for a lot of America, Gordon, they don't believe it until Peter Jennings, Tom Brokaw, or one of the big guys says it.
When they say it, then it's true for them.
Well, it's now.
It's not in ten years or five years.
It's now.
It's now.
You have just heard what Gordon Michael Scallion has envisioned for our future.
On tape two, you're going to find out what Major Ed Dames has to say about these upcoming earth changes.
On tape three, you're going to find out what Major Ed Dames has to say about these upcoming earth changes.
On tape four, you're going to find out what Major Ed Dames has to say about these upcoming earth changes.
On tape five, you're going to find out what Major Ed Dames has to say about these upcoming earth changes.
On tape six, you're going to find out what Major Ed Dames has to say about these upcoming earth changes.
This is part two of the New Millennium special.
Many of you out there are familiar with Major Ed Daines from my program, Coast to Coast AM.
What Major Ed Daines has to say about future earth changes You'll find very similar to what Gordon Michael Scallion said.
Find out why people call him Dr. Doom.
Several years ago, now, and a lot of time has passed, Ted Koppel's Nightline did a program that shocked the nation.
They revealed the existence of a military remote viewing program to the nation in a 30-minute nightline broadcast, and they said that for 20 years the United States government had had in place a so-called remote viewing program, and that we had spent millions of dollars on it.
And that there had been a group of these remote viewers, and we'll try and explain the quick one-on-one version of remote viewing, because I know we have new listeners in a moment, and that they were discontinuing that program and announcing it, making the fact that we had, as a government, been doing this for 20 years, now public.
It was, to say the least, a shocking revelation.
Since that time, we have had many opportunities to interview many remote viewers.
One of the most controversial, without question, is a man that was dubbed, during that time, Dr. Doom.
His name is Ed Dames, retired now Major Ed Dames, who started a company called SciTech, in the private sector, in order to take what he had learned in the military, modify it to some degree, and what he does is called technical remote viewing.
From the Hawaiian Islands, here is Major Ed Dames.
Ed, hello.
It's a pleasure to be back, Art.
Before we launch into very much about, you know, the operational side of either the military program or what you're doing now, we should do, I know, the painful thing for you, because you've done it so many times, but just a very short version of what technical remote viewing is.
For those who might be tuning in tonight for the first time, they're going, what the hell is remote viewing?
In essence, I'll start by using a term that you've used before.
A remote viewer is a trained psychic, but trained to the degree that the data that is produced about a target, a target being a remotely placed person, place, thing or an event, the information that's produced about that target is extremely accurate and consistent, so consistent and accurate That we and the Department of Defense were able to use such psychic data in support of military operations where when we went, for instance, to natural psychics, we could not use that information because the natural psychic, number one, was not consistent in their data, and number two, the natural psychic did not know when they crossed the line into imagination.
That the information that they were writing down, or talking about, or sketching, was no longer connected with the target.
The signal had crossed over back in the day.
So, in other words, in a way, the government was saying, we believe in psychic ability, but the government always wants, of course, to be able to control and do science, which is being able to repeat things again and again and again.
They want a regimen.
That is our military.
I was in the Air Force.
Everything is regimented, and so they regimented psychic ability.
I guess you could put it that way, couldn't you?
It had to be validated.
The Secretary of the Army at the time, John O. Marsh, was visionary enough to allow seed money to be put into this program and to the tune of millions of dollars, but that was provisional, provisional to the point where We had to be able to validate the usefulness and the accuracy of these methods in military operations before real money would be put forward.
So the $20 million that you hear thrown around, part of that $20 million that funded the program was of course research.
Only when we demonstrated that it was a militarily effective tool that could be used to support military operations, only then The first money was seed money.
The first money was research money.
Research money can be thrown at just about anything but only for a limited period of time.
and really the first one it was seed money first money was research money now i think money can be
thrown in just about anything
but but andy's but only for a limited period of time and and
unless you validate in terms of the department of defense and let you validate
something as a weapon or defense system or intelligence collection system
usefulness of that you're not going to get any more money
That's a very good point, Ed.
And you know, the fact that it went on for 20 years, I could understand that it would go on for a year or two or three or four, even.
But if there were no results worthy being yielded, they absolutely would not have kept going 20 years, in my opinion.
No.
No, it was...
Well, there was another reason it lasted so long.
The reason that the unit was so close to hold that very, very few people in the government knew of its existence.
I dare say that if that had not been the case, we would not have lasted as long.
Well, here's a point.
We would have been cut off at the knees.
Yeah, exactly.
But frequently people say, look, There can't be ETs.
There can't be UFOs.
The government is incapable of keeping secrets.
That's baloney.
They are capable of keeping secrets.
They kept the remote viewing secret for 20 years.
They kept... Well, no, it leaked out.
It did leak out.
In fact, in my business, we knew that the general rule of thumb art was that a secret could be kept for no longer than eight years.
Eight years.
Yeah.
That was the general rule of thumb.
Now, that's been exceeded.
I mean, there have been programs that many countries have had.
China is a good example.
They can keep a lid on something for decades.
But in America, before Internet days, it was generally eight years.
One of the best examples was the stealth program.
That was effectively protected by this country in the U.S.
Air Force.
The Manhattan Project?
Well, the Manhattan Project, that was...
That was secrecy beyond, I think, anything.
The very few programs had that kind of secrecy.
But the fact that plutonium was given to children and pregnant women, that was kept secret.
Those were the dark ages of America.
The Joe McCarthy days.
Those were America's dark ages, for sure.
And the dark days are over?
Generally speaking, they're over.
There's a lot of oversight.
And I'll tell you why.
Because the press is so effective.
The press is so effective in this country that they can generally penetrate just about anything.
It's pretty hard to keep a secret from the American press.
Here, here.
But said again, remote viewing is the ability of somebody to administer to another person, the remote viewer, a number, a simple number, a series of numbers, or whatever, and the remote viewer would then, for example, be able to locate A gas canister in Iraq, or any number of other things.
Remote viewing is in a realm that defies or eclipses time as we understand it.
You can look into the future, you can look into the past.
It's in the fifth, it's operating in the fifth dimension.
Fourth dimension being time, fifth dimension being mind.
Precisely.
So we are, think in terms of a universal mind, where all patterns of information are stored.
So in that arena, what the universal mind is remembering the future as well
as remembering the past.
All the information is present there, accessible.
So it becomes a matter of turning one's unconscious attention towards one of those infinite patterns
of information.
When you get a student, Ed, in the days that you actually had classes going on, how did
you train the imagination out of a person's report?
It's part of the process.
There's about 400 steps to learning this process, just like cooking a pineapple upside-down cake in the kitchen.
You just have to go through one step after another.
If you do all those steps correctly, you have a fine cake at the end of a couple of hours.
That's right.
The discovery, the real discovery of remote viewing, is how the unconscious part of ourselves communicates these very detailed bits of information to conscious awareness without this overlay of imagination.
Those steps, that process was the breakthrough discovery.
That's been refined in SciTech to be able to use remote viewing as not only an information
collection process but a process of discovery.
As a predictive tool, remote viewing is difficult.
We can't nail time down.
One of the toughest things that it seems to me after interviewing you so many times, Ed,
the toughest things for you to do with respect to anything that you say is going to happen
or that you have seen coming is specific timelines.
That's correct.
As a predictive tool, remote viewing is difficult.
We can't nail time down.
The best that we can do in terms of a future event is to say the next event will be this.
But we can't pinpoint the next, where we are in time.
How do you do timelines at all, even rough timelines?
How do you come up with them?
We look at current states of affairs worldwide, on the globe, and we see how close we are juxtaposed to our information, the event that's been described in the information.
A good example would be Korea.
It's been about two years now, two and a half years, Since we were sure that the next use of a nuclear weapon would be Korea.
So, looking ahead, we didn't really have a clear idea about how long that would be.
We knew it would happen before the solar kill shot, because we can place events, bracket them in time, and juxtapose them one before another.
So we knew that that would be before the solar event, but we didn't know how far down the road the solar kill shot would be.
So we didn't have a standard for our timeline.
It's very difficult to do that.
Now you can see that the situation in Korea is becoming very hairy, very fast and it's
a fait accompli that something is going to give in Korea very fast.
So now we get a better idea of when this event might occur.
That's why we are watching the situation so closely and we are getting more details because
we are closer on the horizon to the actual event.
So when we build a remote union itself, there are other things, caveats here that we have
to be careful of.
In technical remote viewing, you're sitting at a table, you have pen and paper in hand, in a very attentive state, going through a set of rigorous attention management techniques, and you're building up on your canvas, on these pieces of paper, you're moving into the target.
Actually, you're bringing it into your own conscious awareness.
In a very gross way from the gross to the general to the specific to the detailed description and sketches of the target.
This takes at least 45 minutes and a series of remote viewing sessions.
So it's like building up the target like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle.
We know and we knew in the laboratory when we made these mistakes.
People are still making these mistakes of getting caught up in the drama of the target.
There's a murder going on that you're looking at.
Could be in the past, could be present time, if there's a battle going on.
If you cross a 50% line where 50% of your awareness is now at the remote target instead of in the room where you're jotting down all this information and following these rigorous taught protocols.
If you cross that line, the flow of information will stop.
Remote viewing is not an experience.
It's an information collection tool.
So for instance, what good would it do?
Let's say your mother had a breast tumor.
Yes.
What good would it do if remote viewing were an experience where you finally experience your mother's breast tumor?
As opposed to, where is the position in the breast?
How large is it?
What's the makeup of the cells?
Is it benign or malign?
Sure.
Those kinds of things.
We don't want to stop the flow of information.
So if we get caught up in the drama, It becomes an oh-wow experience, which we can do, by the way.
But technical remote viewing precludes that from happening.
Ed, you on my program are one of the most loved and hated guests that I have.
And a large segment of the people out there love it, and a large segment of the people out there hate it.
Actually, hate you.
And you bring that on.
I mean, if you read in the news groups and you read the faxes and email that people send, when somebody does not like you, there's very little neutral about Ed Dames.
You either like him or you hate him.
I'm giving you an honest assessment of the responses I get from my listeners.
I mean, there are people out there who just hate your guts, and mine too, by the way.
I'm very much aware of that.
What do you think, what is it about you or what you say or what you do that brings on this vitriolic side of people?
Whether or not people feel that my company's conclusions are factual, truthful or not, what we're doing is telling them something they do not want to hear.
That was my experience in the military, too.
It was my experience at the Department of Defense level, National Intelligence Agency level, and in the White House.
Don't shoot the messenger, but this is the way it is.
I'm going to continue that, too.
In fact, I'll be talking about something like that tonight.
It will be very similar to things I've talked about in the past.
That is what they do.
They shoot the messenger.
And they shoot me that way all the time.
I deal in not just what you have but what a lot of my other guests have.
And it's like they love to hate me.
I get these vitriolic Ramblings against what I do, despite the fact that I say constantly on the air, I present this to you as an audience, an adult audience.
You can accept it as entertainment.
You can accept it as information you believe.
You can say, gosh, what a bunch of BS.
You can do whatever you want with it.
I just present it.
But nevertheless, they take their high-powered, metaphorically, of course, rifles, and put constant bullets through my head for what I do.
And yet those individuals are free to turn that dial or turn the radio off.
The fact is they love to hate you and me.
That may be, that's exactly right, they love to hate us.
Alright, well now that everybody I think pretty well knows you in the first place and we have
explained what remote viewing is, I think when I reflect on the years that you've been
doing programs with me, your most accurate work seems to have been in the area of the
I mean, that's my own personal view.
There's a reason for that, and that is because, you know, what we know in my business is that the unconscious part of ourselves, of our own mind, is our best friend.
It tries to keep you alive.
And if you're too busy in the daytime to pay heed to it, that little tiny signal, that little tiny voice, it will get you at night during dreams.
You'll have premonitions about disasters or something like that.
These are big spikes in time.
These kinds of things.
The spike that tells you don't be here because something is going to happen.
Don't be involved in this city at this time because there will be an explosion.
It's our best friend.
It tries to keep you alive.
When you have a catastrophe that takes a lot of lives or affects a lot of people, those are very big spikes that stand up through the background clutter, the background noise.
I just don't even know what to say about the weather.
You years ago talked about the changes in the weather.
There's nothing more to say as far as I'm concerned.
to take many lives indeed.
I just don't even know what to say about the weather.
You years ago talked about the changes in the weather.
There's nothing more to say as far as I'm concerned.
Two and a half years ago I tried to warn listeners on your program as well as in written reports
to institutions and institutes that we are not going to shortly, we are not in North
America going to be able to grow crops the way we used to grow them.
You absolutely said that.
There will be no seasons, there will be no distinction between seasons and some parts
will be a no man's land.
We're going to have to move crops into field environments and these environments will become
templates and humans will begin to migrate into them and they'll grow.
But the technology must mature for this to be effective.
We've got to start doing this now, otherwise many people will lose their lives.
You also said the jet stream would come down onto the deck, and people chuckled, and I've heard I don't know how many weathermen say the jet stream actually came down and touched the ground, and that accounts for the straight-line winds that destroyed such-and-such.
I mean, just again and again and again.
You were dead flat right about that.
And here in Salt Lake City, a tornado, Ed, a tornado, an F2 tornado touchdown in the center of Salt Lake City, Utah, killed one person, injured dozens of people, and did an extensive amount of property damage.
It was the damnedest thing anybody ever saw.
Well, and I mentioned before the tornado season that the mother of all tornadoes was coming, and you saw that hit.
That's right.
I have to warn you again, there's going to be more of those, and in places that have never experienced tornadoes before.
So when, for instance, I warn people in the Denver area about Rocky Flats, there's no more nuclear material, waste material, stored in Rocky Flats, but there's still a very big problem.
The top layer of the soil around Rocky Flats, down to about a centimeter or so, is contaminated.
So if a high wind or a tornado rolls across that land, it's going to be a fallout city for Denver.
It's tantamount to fallout.
Yeah, a tornado would obviously pick up a great deal of... It would pick up all the contaminants and drop them on populated areas.
I wonder if they've thought about that.
I don't think anyone has ever expected the Rocky Flats area to have a tornado, but things are changing rapidly as we speak.
Nobody really ever expected one in the middle of Salt Lake City, either.
And in terms of sanctuaries and survival information, the other thing that my company has been trying to warn people about is water.
If you are not near a large source of fresh water, you are in trouble, and increasingly so.
That is why I've been directing people towards the western part of Glacier National Park.
We have a huge, some of the cleanest water in North America is there, and that's one of the few places in the continental United States that's going to be safe because it has a lot of water.
What a surprise it's in there.
That certainly would make sense.
But then in the northeast, we have drought emergencies now in almost every northeastern corridor state.
I believe all of them now.
And the southeast is a disaster.
Here in the west, Ed, The Southwest, where I live, I'm telling you something is really dramatically wrong.
Every day my wife and I have been commenting on it.
We moved here about seven years ago to this house, and on the day we moved, it was 117 degrees.
Now, that's normal for out here in July going into August.
It's not getting above 90 during the day now, and it's going down to 60 at night.
Ed, something's really wrong.
Well, again, water.
The question is, got water?
Because that is the key right there.
You can stockpile all the food that you want and all the rifles and ammunition that you choose, but if you are not near a source of plentiful fresh water, you are in trouble.
Now, that surely does make sense.
The question, I guess, is that most people would want to know.
I mean, at this point, Ed, most people agree we are in the middle of a weather change that people have tried to explain in various ways.
El Nino, La Nina, all the rest of it.
But it's more serious than that.
And I think most people now know that.
The question is, how much worse is it going to get?
That's what I think most people would want to know.
It's going to reach a point where people begin migrating from populated areas.
Out of the cities?
Out of the cities, yeah.
This is a denouement here and it's going to result in the disintegration of a lot of social systems because of no water.
Even food!
Look what will happen first, though.
Food prices will rise.
There will be crops that will not be available for cattle.
So cattle will die.
And then food will be controlled by governments, local at first.
It is true.
Food has been always extremely plentiful here.
there may not be enough food to eat so people may be uh...
particularly socially many things will change people will begin to start we're
very spoiled by society
as americans and that's about change we're going to get a handsome pain
it no it is true food has been always extremely plentiful here
no matter who's a lot of yeah americans don't really understand what it's like
not to be able to get food It's an impossible concept, because we have never experienced it.
Really, never.
Now, we've grown very complacent about a number of things, and that's going to change.
It's changing right now in those parched areas of the East.
But, well, yeah.
Look, in parts of the Orient, North Korea, they are starving to death.
There has been reported cannibalism in North Korea.
It's horrible.
Absolutely horrible.
So, it doesn't take a great Change in our climate to produce a dramatic change in the ability to grow food, does it?
No.
In fact, when you think about it, food that's subject to the vicissitudes of climate and weather these days, it's a crapshoot.
It's like playing Russian roulette with food.
It's got to be done a different way.
The different way has to be a hermetically sealed or a controlled, environmentally controlled environment.
Our company in the past has produced reports to disaffect and delivered them to some very high-powered think tanks.
There are certain individuals and wealthy people who have taken action and are doing this for themselves, but it must be done at the community and township levels, minimally, in order to have sustained food.
Ed, I had a very, very well-renowned psychic on the air, Sylvia Brown.
And she said a couple of things that really caught my attention.
She said, number one, in 50 years, people will be living in domed cities, and this will be as a result of the environment.
the second thing she said was she was on the montel williams show
and he had her looking ahead twenty years fifty seventy years
as you can get that finally uh... you had a look as far as the year twenty one hundred
and she saw absolutely
nothing Bye.
Now, that reminded me of the time you talked of the discontinuity, what you called at that time the discontinuity, a kind of a barrier past which you couldn't see.
And she has a barrier past which she cannot see.
She's not a remote viewer, but she is certainly a natural psychic.
Any reaction to that?
Well, I think our company has to stand by the work that we've done with regard to the sun.
There is going to be a sunburst.
Something is going to happen to the sun, a major coronal mass ejection that will plasma, that will be delivered up to Earth, almost down to the deck on Earth's surface.
And that will result in one of the largest catastrophes probably in recorded history.
Here's a fax from Dave in Wisconsin.
He says, Solar flare activity is supposed to increase dramatically according to scientists in the first few weeks of next year.
Please ask Ed if this is what he's been predicting for the last few years.
In other words, death and destruction to some portion of the planet and its inhabitants due to the sun.
This is what we know.
We know that people look up and the next minute later something hits them.
That's all that we know.
And this something is attributable I'm not a solar physicist, so I don't know if that's plasma, x-rays, or whatever, but it's something that can be seen in the sky.
It's an effect, or an epiphenomenon, as a result of solar action that actually produces an effect in the sky.
So you can see it coming.
You can't get out of the way, but you can see this coming, and we know that it's produced by the sun.
How many of these kinds of kill shots are there, we don't know.
But the sun is going to result in a massive loss of life, even far more than the general weather conditions will produce.
In many parts of the world, it's much worse.
So you stand by the kill shot or kill shocks prediction?
That's correct.
our sun is going to result in the largest loss of human lives that
that we have seen as remote viewers in the past or in the future.
This is the end of side one.
Stop the tape, flip it over, rewind and begin again.
Scientists know that our magnetic field here on Earth is weakening.
They can actually measure it.
They are measuring it.
That's occurring.
Gordon Michael Sky in the other night, and others I might add, and now you, are suggesting the possibility of an event of a magnitude that would cause a polar shift.
Is that what we're talking about here?
When you talk about polar shift, this term that has been so often used over the decades, the only thing that we as remote viewers, professional remote viewers, At SciTech, have ever construed as a polar shift is a magnetic pole shift.
Yeah.
We're not certain that there's a shift in the axis of the Earth.
We don't know that.
Oh, no, no, no.
Just a magnetic shift.
What was north becoming south or some gradient thereof.
Magnetically.
We think that there's going to be, when we actually go through the causal, Agent, there seems to be a big glob of molten iron or something at the Earth's core that the iron does not seem to be distributed equally.
There seems to be a big glob that all of a sudden moves.
And then that is what causes, in our minds, this magnetic shift.
And then of course there's a lot of movement on the surface, the coefficient of friction between the Earth's mantle And the crust is different, and there's a different coefficient of friction between the crust and the atmosphere, and so there's a time delay, there's a time lag, but this eventuates in when it hits the atmosphere in very high winds, very high winds indeed, and of course a lot of tidal action as well.
Did you hear portions at least of the Gordon Michael Skyen show the other night?
I did.
When he was describing the realm in which he is able to view events in the future, It sounded an awful lot to me like descriptions you have given to me of what you do in the past on these shows.
I think that Mr. Scallion's descriptions are more connected with visuals.
They are.
He calls them visions and I think they're visuals.
Where our work, visuals are just one very small aspect of what we do.
We download very accurately and rigorously ideas.
And sometimes those ideas trigger a visual memory, but many times they don't.
They simply become ideas that are expressed in terms of words.
Yes, but is it not communication probably from the same realm?
My guess is yes.
Also, I'd like to mention that since the last time we talked, Father Malachi Martin has passed away, and that was a great news.
That was very hard for me, Ed.
Father Malachi Martin and I had a number of private conversations aside from what we did on the air.
And so I guess I can't talk about them.
But he did say something on the air about the third secret of Fatima that will always be with me.
And that was, he said, Art, if you could imagine the very worst that mankind could face, it's worse than that.
And he has read, he had read the Third Secret Epitaph.
And I always kind of wondered if there was a parallel to what you saw.
We, we, the best way we could describe it in terms of remote viewing the Third Secret is the opening of what in Revelation is called the Sixth Seal.
If you read that, you'll see how bad it can be.
And you believe that the sixth seal has been opened?
Yes.
Let me start in on this.
Let me start in on this.
Essentially the revelation at Fatima beginning in 1917 was three parts, two parts of which
the Catholic Church made public eventually.
The third part, also called the Third Secret of Fatima, they did not.
Even though the apparition, which was judged to be a miracle by the Catholic Church, even though the apparition that generated the original information, requested through one of the girls, I can't remember the name, requested that Does a third part be made public no later than 1960?
And it was not, by the Catholic Church.
According to Fr.
Martin, the Popes who have been in place have read it, and individually have decided not to release it, going against the advice from the Apparition itself, for whatever reason.
I presume you know why.
Well, I do now.
At first I thought it was rather arrogant.
And that, you know, why would that information be withheld?
I'm sure it generated a great deal of anger and ostracism on the part of many of the faithful.
Why should they keep information from the public?
Yes, why?
Which was one of the reasons I accepted the task, why I chose this task.
Why would they hold back God's word as if the church thought it knew best?
Didn't you approach this with some trepidation, though?
You know, one of those things of, do I really want to know this?
No, I didn't.
I approached it with the same verve and enthusiasm as I did with most projects.
However, I've changed my tune now that we've completed it.
In fact, it's changed my life permanently.
The third part of the revelation, lowercase r, the Fatima Revelation, is an announcement.
It's an announcement that heralds events described in the Revelation with a capital R. That's why the Catholic Church did not feel that it was necessary to comment on it, because it would only have been saying what had already been said by a higher authority.
That is, it would only have been a commentary on the Word of God.
I'm going to get real specific here.
But you're saying the third secret is revelations.
I'm saying that the third secret is indeed what is the end time prophecies themselves.
The beginning of the end time prophecies.
Specifically, the heralding of events connected with the opening of the sixth seal.
In other words, the scroll.
You know, in Daniel chapter 10, 11, Gabriel, the angel Gabriel, shows Daniel the prophecies that concern the last generation.
These are the end time prophecies.
Yes.
Contained in a sealed scroll of revelations.
Yes.
That scroll has been unsealed.
And that third part of Fatima essentially says that the scroll has been unsealed and the next up is the sixth seal.
Very, very serious earthquakes and volcanism, war.
I'm not going to sit here and educate the people who know more than I do about Revelation.
I'm going to tell you what I as a professional remote viewer downloaded from this.
I was a simple Christian until now.
I did not really take the Bible seriously, but I do now.
In fact, I take it very seriously.
It appears to be dead, specifically dead.
Father Martin has always said, there will be an unquestionable sign from the sky.
That's something the Father has said.
I am telling you, that specific revelation, that part of the revelation, was specifically the opening of the sixth seal.
And that is why the church, I'm sure, decided not to say anything.
Because if you read Revelations and what that means, why say it again?
It doesn't need to be talked about anymore.
If it happens, it happens.
I don't know what else to say about that.
We're talking about war.
We're talking about tremendous earthquakes and volcanism.
And we're talking about the events being accompanied by a lot of meteors falling from the sky.
Now, what has come out of this for me is some very serious life changes and something that I've decided to do, a project that is the most important project that any remote viewer, anyone who learns technical remote viewing or SciTech can do in my mind.
And this is the project that I dedicate to Father Malachi Martin.
If you look forward in time, along the revelations timetable in the Bible, the most important
thing that technical remote viewing can do for generations to come is to identify what
the mark of the beast is and who the beast is.
Because if we lose our lives in the travails ahead, that's one thing.
But if we accept that particular mark, then we lose our souls.
We lose our souls.
And that is why it's imperative for us right now to begin to identify exactly, in terms that we can understand today, at the end of the 20th century, what that mark is and who the beast is, specifically.
That is the new project, and that is the one I'm dedicating to Malachi Martin.
Is the third secret itself specific beyond... so specific that it would have created a worldwide panic?
In other words, it is revelations, but as you read revelations in the Bible, it's specific and at the same time rather non-specific.
Is the third secret Very specific.
What reason would there be other than duplication not to release it?
I mean, I think for the reason you just mentioned or glossed over, worldwide panic.
I think that that was a wrong decision.
I mean, this is my own, this is Ed Dane speaking.
I think that that may have been a mistake on the part of the Catholic Church.
To hold it back.
To hold it back, yes.
And I'll tell you why.
Knowing this now, albeit through technical remote viewing, has changed me.
It's redirected and reordered my priorities in life in a way that I think is very important.
I think that that knowledge would have done the same thing to many believers, at least Christians, had it then promulgated when the apparition said, not later than 1960, when the apparition So my advice is if you don't have a God to pray to you
better go out and get one.
Make sure it is the right one.
Get your internal house in order.
You need some role models to look at some for minds and lives and the actions of people
that are good role models.
Jesus Christ, Mother Teresa or even Jimmy Carter will do.
The sixth seal is open.
The opening of the sixth seal that is connected with the third part of the Fatima Revelation, also called the third secret of Fatima.
That's what's connected with that.
That's what that secret was.
That is what the Catholic Church held back.
Could SciTech locate the sixth seal?
It is not a thing, Art.
It's not a thing.
It's an idea.
The seal itself is a set of circumstances and consequences.
It's not a thing.
All right.
Like the Ark of the Covenant or the Holy Grail.
I've got you.
Yes, it's esoteric.
It's supernatural, what we call supernatural.
It's natural if your horizons are wider, but it's supernatural in terms of us menial human beings.
That's really frightening information.
We selected the beast of Revelation 13.
We wanted to determine, using today's lexicon, what the tool of technical remote viewing could download, looking at the idea of the beast of Revelation 13.
And the beast, we thought, might equate to an individual, but it did not.
It is the animal nature of man, as opposed to the divine nature of man.
That's where they feel this anti-Christ idea.
They feel that that finds resonance.
That's the beast.
That is what we derive by looking at that term.
The term 666 is a symbol for the beast in Revelations, but it's also the number of a man, if you remember.
And what 666 amounts to, I've mentioned this once before, we did some further study on it to elaborate it.
It is in essence, we end up sketching and describing actual physical money and we end up describing situations where possession, greed, money and lust are involved.
It's the vehicle by which the beast, this idea, rules the hearts of men.
It exercises the people.
Power is really exercised over people because of money, the root of all evil.
The vehicle of money is used, the pursuit and the fixation upon worldly things, so that's what that equates to.
But the Mark of the Beast was the most interesting of all, because in prophecy it specifically states that women who are nursing children and Woe to the woman who is nursing or with child.
Because a heavy price is going to be paid by infants.
I remember you were saying this kind of, it has to be what, three years ago?
About two and a half years ago.
Two and a half years ago.
Okay.
We weren't sure.
We thought, remember we thought at the time that we were dealing with a bovine age?
Yes.
Oh yes, I recall.
It isn't.
It is this.
It is this vaccine.
But that was so close.
Well, that's not good enough for us.
But that's still very close.
It's AIDS, or a form of AIDS, and it affects babies and children.
Ironically, it's the vaccination itself that is defective in some way.
There's an advocacy group that's pushing the government.
They want the government to hurry.
They're accusing the government of erring on the side of caution.
Well, look... And there's a consortium that's putting this out on the street.
I think, though, Ed, sensible people, if presented with an AIDS vaccine, who understand their sex lives, what they're doing, and what they're not doing, will act accordingly and will not exactly rush down to get something they don't need.
They have no choice, Art.
If you're a child in school, you will not be able to go to a public school without being administered this vaccine.
You are a government employee.
You're saying it's going to be mandated?
I'm saying you're compelled to take it.
It's going to be mandated.
Over my dead body?
Well, I mean... I don't mean that, over my dead body.
Look, I understand how I conduct myself sexually.
I'm monogamous, and I know that I'm okay.
I know my wife's okay.
That's it.
I'm not going to take... I don't care what they do.
I mean it, over my dead body.
I would not go and take it.
Well, there... Again, harking back to Revelations, it is described that the people that refuse this mark will be essentially excommunicated.
To what?
In Revelations' term, the desert of the nations or the wilderness of the people.
Well, you know, I can actually see how that would occur.
In other words, the mark, as you call it, would make you socially acceptable.
The lack of the mark would make you virtually an outcast.
Well, it goes deeper than that.
You're actually compelled and coerced, actually, to being vaccinated because you simply can't travel.
You can't get a good-paying job, or perhaps any job, if you don't have that vaccination, because AIDS becomes such a terrible epidemic.
Look at Africa today.
And these are all young adults, the most economically important group, that are dying, for the most part.
And that's the group that the United States, at least, can't afford to lose, because those are the ones that are going to pay Social Security for you and I.
That is why this idea of the desert of the nations was so important, because what do you do if you're trying to escape the domination of a new world government?
You have to go somewhere.
It turns out that the wilderness of the people are physical sites that are not pre-designated.
They're just places that congregations of people who do not want that mark end up being together, like-minded like-minded people, spiritually oriented and like-minded.
There is a sorting out, this is sort of an exodus that occurs to these spots, a sorting
out that is difficult to understand, essentially supposedly led and executed by angels.
The Psytech has called these spots sanctuaries.
They are sanctuaries in terms of geophysical events too.
And lastly, the people at those places are to receive what Revelation calls the bond
of the covenant.
Now when we review this, we might as well be Nostradamus trying to describe a skyscraper
or a Cadillac today.
It is something that I do not have a lexicon for.
The closest that I can describe this particular event, again that is called, that is termed
bond of the covenant in the English language is something like...
the fundamental particles of nature coalescing into a cloud above these people.
That's all I can do with that. I don't have the thesaurus, the personal memory bank,
the lexicon to be able to deal with what is happening here.
Is this why sometimes you're close, for example, the bovine AIDS and now the Mark,
the vaccination, but nevertheless the AIDS and still the children.
In other words, you see a result, but you don't quite see the mechanism that brings it about.
Because we don't have the lexicon installed yet.
When we were looking for instance, when we were looking at the idea of age as a disease,
the HIV virus turning into a full blown pandemic wasn't there yet when we were trying to determine
what was killing these children.
And when our lexicon is loaded, when our memory banks have this information, when we perceive
an idea, an abstract idea, it's a right brain type of activity, that idea has to find a
label in our memory banks.
If it can't find a label, we can't express it as individuals.
What TriTech in the past described as huge, as a kill shot, a solar event of such magnitude
that much of earth will be affected and many people will be killed, we are now able to
put into a time frame because of our work in the last two months on revelations.
Those events, the Mark of the Beast for instance, occurs as an event within the seven seal events.
It is one of the events that is described in terms of the opening of the seventh seal.
Also under the seven seal is an event where one third of Earth's population will die.
One third?
In a horrible catastrophe.
That happens to be the kill shot.
So now we have a timeline, not only an event line, what event follows another, which event follows another, but we have a timeline now too because the AIDS vaccine will be on the street in just over three years.
That's the mark of the beast.
Right?
Right.
So, just about that same time frame will occur this massive solar event.
Now we know that we're talking about 2001 for this kill shot.
So the kill shot is 2001.
So you finally put a date to it.
We finally have a date that we're comfortable with.
That we're comfortable with.
More and more scientists now, Ed, ...are suggesting that the dinosaurs received their own very special kill shot.
I have talked to a number of credentialed Ph.D.
types lately who have said that kill shots of the kind you describe, they believe, instead of the Big Bang Theory, are responsible for the creation-destruction cycle That mainstream science is now beginning to embrace.
So, what you're suggesting is now believed by many.
Well, it's interesting to be alive.
When we consider how short the generation of man is, it's interesting to be alive at this point in time.
To actually bear witness to these kinds of things.
That there's the horror, and all of the other attendant human emotions.
Nevertheless, it happens to be a very unique, synchronistic time to be alive, I think.
It is that.
This is Art Bell saying thank you and good luck.
