Welcome to Art Bell Somewhere in Time, tonight featuring Coast to Coast AM from December 27th, 2001.
art bell
From the high desert in the great American Southwest.
I bid you all good evening, good morning, good afternoon, wherever you may be across the globe, all 24 time zones.
unidentified
I'm Art Bell, and this is Coast to Coast AM.
art bell
That period of time in the year between Christmas and the New Year.
And yes, by the way, I will be here on New Year's Eve.
Then I'll be here.
So we'll bring in the New Year together, and we will do predictions up through the end of that program, and then they're cut off until the following year.
It is prediction.
So tonight, we devote entirely, as well as tomorrow night and Monday, to your predictions for the coming year.
And it should be a whopper.
It really should be a whopper.
Considering all that has gone on and is going on.
My my, what a year I'm sure we've got ahead.
By the way, I want to thank everybody for the logo submissions.
We'll run this through tomorrow and then stop it and sit down and look at them all.
We're getting gazillions of them.
And thank you all, very talented people out there.
It'd be fun to go through them and sort of compare against what we've got and see where we are.
But boy, they came flooding in, I'll tell you.
All right, now, what is going on now?
The big news, the top news, actually, isn't Tulsama this time.
It's India and Pakistan.
The situation is becoming really dangerous.
Diplomatically on Thursday, ordering half of each other's embassy folks sent home.
Both countries banned any overflights between their two countries.
You know, the situation is getting worse and worse and worse.
And both of these countries have nuclear weapons.
Not a lot of them, but with nukes, you don't need a lot.
They both have them.
And I believe they both have the will to use them.
And that's probably more important than the simple possession.
They would use them.
They say, at least one of them, that they would do everything to try and not use nuclear weapons.
But, you know, that's not the way war works.
When you actually go to war, you use whatever you have.
And my guess on whether India and Pakistan would refrain from dipping into the nuclear arsenal if they actually got into a real serious war, I'd say that the chances of their not doing that are slim and none.
We're going to take the Afghan prisoners we have, the Taliban prisoners.
Guess where?
unidentified
Cuba.
art bell
Guantanamo in Cuba.
And that's very interesting.
Apparently, they're not going to have military tribunals at Guantanamo.
It will take weeks to get the base ready for the detainees, but what we're going to do with them is very, very unclear.
That girl who was lost and feared dead and they had pretty much given up has been found safe in West Virginia.
There is a kidnapping charge being filed, so that's pretty good news, actually, because they really thought she was lost.
Says goodbye to Mayor Giuliani.
Heard his voice in the news at the top of the hour.
And I wonder if he could be a presidential candidate.
In the news at the top of the hour, he sounded like a presidential candidate, if you ask me.
We'll see.
On Bin Laden.
We've got this tape they think was made in mid-December, perhaps.
Not very long ago, and appears to be Bin Laden.
An interesting story on the climate.
This is, let me see, where has this come from?
Who, but I think it came from elsewhere, actually.
I suppose I'll get to it.
Friday, December 28th.
Countries around the world were trying to cope with a climatic catastrophe as a big freeze chilled Europe and North America.
Brazil recovered from torrential rains, bushfires blazing in an Australian heat wave, and the Saudis are actually now praying for rain.
North America plunged into the throes of a very intense cold front that buried Buffalo, New York in three, maybe coming four feet of snow.
We're on the air in Buffalo.
Sure it would be interesting to hear from Buffalo.
In Europe, the chill has claimed hundreds of lives.
A winter cold snap in Poland has claimed 178 lives since October, according to local police there, a figure well above the previous year.
Authorities in Bulgaria declared a state of emergency in the northeast of the country after the worst snowfall in 30 years.
That's where three more people died in the intense cold.
In Russia, normally no stranger to bitter cold, Moscow authorities say three people have died in sub-zero temperatures.
The southern hemisphere, in real trouble with heat, Australia.
Brazil, massive mudslides triggered by torrential rain in Rio de Janeiro are beginning to engulf homes, claiming at least 50 lives there, leaving 2,000 homeless.
Saudi Arabia, thousands of people are filling the country's mosques to pray for rain as they there blame the Drought on sin and corruption.
Saudis have twice already offered up rain prayers this year, but with little apparent success.
Most northern and central regions have remained dry, and southwest areas of the kingdom have had very little rain.
Meteorologists are saying the forecast is going to be more drought next year.
Bad news.
The spate of extreme weather across the globe comes as many scientists warn that populations are going to have to get used to increasing incidences of drought, searing heat, icy cold, and flooding, which they say characterized the so-called greenhouse effect.
Climatologists are warning that a trend of increasing global temperatures is not the only phenomena from the effect they blame on a buildup of greenhouse gases.
So, everywhere now across the globe, I'm getting a story like this every night.
It is obvious we are going through a climate change.
Now, in order to try and stay non-political, because talking about global warming is intensely political, I don't think it matters.
It's a fact, whether it's a cyclic thing and the Earth simply because of the sun or whatever you want to imagine goes through this massive change, or whether it's the hand of man affecting that change to some degree or even no degree.
The fact of the matter is, the climate around the world, not just here, around the entire world, is in the middle of a change.
It could be a fast, rapid change.
We've really got to face up to that possibility.
Even the mainstream scientists are finally beginning to admit that that's what we might be in for, and this could be the opening round, the opening shots of that.
Or on the more benign side, it could be a simple slow, and I don't mean to oversimplify global warming, but a slow warming because very small temperature changes make very big changes in the kind of weather the world gets.
And it's getting pretty bad.
Well, some scientists think it's going to get a lot worse.
When you think you've heard everything, comes a story proving to you you haven't.
This came, I think somebody plucked it from the Drudge site originally by Cecilia Vega and Jeremy Hay, Press Democrat.
And is, plane takes off from Two Rock Ranch without pilot.
Parrot, unmanned airplane, broke free from its moorings Wednesday, get this, while the pilot was working on it.
Taking off from a Two Rock Ranch and flying over southern Sonoma County without a pilot for at least two hours.
Now, how do they know that?
Well, the fellow who was working on it said he figured it had about two hours worth of gasoline.
Authorities concluded the single-engine airplane eventually crashed, duh, but a search for wreckage is suspended because of darkness.
In other words, they haven't found it yet at all.
Walt Smith, regional coordinator for the FAA, said, quote, this will be in the aviation history books, end quote.
Pretty wild, he said.
We're all shaking our heads.
We thought we'd heard it all.
Search began shortly after 3 p.m. when Paul Clary III of San Rafael, well, I'd like to talk to him.
If you're out there, Paul, email me at artbell at mindspring.com.
Love to talk to you.
Of San Rafael called 911 to report that his airplane had taken off from his son's Middle Two Rock Ranch, Road Ranch, with nobody aboard with enough fuel to fly along for two hours.
He said, everybody's saying it's a nightmare.
He had owned the plane, a 1946 Aronica champion for about six years.
All kinds of people have dispatched aircraft and search parties, and the airplane is yellow.
It's not like you'd miss it.
And I don't know a whole lot about aviation, as proven by my broken arm when I was trying to hang glide.
But excuse me, how does an airplane with somebody working on a flooded engine start up?
Okay, I can get that part.
It starts up.
Surprise.
You know, the flooded engine suddenly gets unflooded and chokes and starts.
But this airplane then somehow managed to rev up the engine sufficiently to get to flight speed, aim itself down some sort of runway or something, and take off in level flight, gain altitude, and fly for two hours.
Now, maybe some of you experienced pilots can explain that to me.
A shadow person took it.
unidentified
I mean, I just, how can that happen?
art bell
How can that happen?
I literally just take off.
All right, now listen.
As I said, anyway, getting back to predictions, this is your one opportunity.
These are numbered predictions that will be filed away in the Bell Family Vault.
Now, I've got predictions made for the year 2001, and we will read more of them and score them in a moment.
Now, if I get it wrong, and sometimes I'm not sure how it really came out, I will open my Fast Blast computer screen so you can tell me I'm full of it, and this Or that did or did not actually happen.
Let me get that going.
There we go.
So, in a moment, I will read to you and rate some of last year's predictions, followed by my turning to the phones for all of you to register your.
Now, look, I want you to reach deep down into your psychic center.
unidentified
Don't just take stabs at things.
art bell
Really put a little psychic thought into what you think is going to occur.
So far, I must say, the predictions we've been getting, while a small sample thus far, are pretty dark in nature.
Now, it's been a pretty dark year, and there's some dark stuff going on out there right now.
But remember, you're predicting, you know, all of this may turn around very quickly, or, you know, it may not.
That's life, right?
So, coming up.

art bell
I want to talk with you a little bit about 2012.
unidentified
We're getting close to this December 21st date.
art bell
What is your take on it?
unidentified
At a certain point, a preponderance of consciousness can tip the balance and shift the entire course of history.
The sequence of events that we're about to experience is like an intervention that's going to start to reverse some of the negative events that have been so dominating our lives, and we need to not succumb to fear.
Now, we take you back to the past on Art Bell Somewhere in Time.
art bell
Art Bell Let us now review some more of those predictions made last year.
We got up to number 9.
So number 10 made last year would be JC, who had not called in a very long time, to call again.
And by God, that is a ding, ding, ding.
JC did call, in fact, not very long ago, after a very, very, very long absence.
So we know JC is alive, and I must say, I don't note that he went through very much of any sort of good personality change.
Number 11 is a definite bonk.
It's the old ETs will land on the front lawn of the White House.
Bonk.
Number 12, that people will become more aware of communications with the dead.
I'm going to give this one a ding, and I'm going to tell you why.
Because people like, what's his name, Edwards, have entire programs based on it, the sudden, a really big increase in the popularity of those who talk to the dead, James von Prague and others like him.
But most of all, the electronic voice phenomena that we have been so much into over this last year.
So I'm going to give that one a ding.
People are aware of, much more aware of those who speak to or purport to speak to dead people.
Number 13, Ramona and Art renew their wedding vows.
Actually, it says wedding anniversary.
I don't know why I wrote that.
We did certainly renew our wedding anniversary, but I think they meant vows.
So I'm going to give that a general bonk.
We didn't actually renew vows, though we certainly had an anniversary.
Number 14 is dead meat.
Number 14 says the XFL, you know that football league?
XFL becomes more famous than the NFL.
You're talking about how major league, how entire football organizations can go, quickly they can go down the tubes.
I was so sad about that.
I really like the XFL becoming more popular than the NFL.
Bonk.
All right.
Number 15, another shot to the moon announced.
Now, I'm a little bit unsure about this one, but I don't think that we have announced any sort of manned shot to the moon, right?
So I'm going to give that a bonk.
Let's see.
Number 16, referring to my show.
Ratings go up.
Ding, ding, ding.
Our ratings certainly have gone up.
Big ding there.
And number 17, a space shuttle disaster.
Thank God, a bonk for that one.
18, I'm going to be willing to give a ding.
Even though I was not particularly hopeful for him when he was elected, and there was something that gave me the GBs about him, which, by the way, I might add is not totally gone.
Number 18 is that George Bush will be a good president.
And so far, you must say, I will.
Ding, ding, ding.
He really has been.
And he certainly has risen to the occasion, in my opinion, as many presidents have, you know as something horrible happened in america absolutely horrible he has risen to the occasion and i think is a good president so i'm giving that a good qualified ding ding ding actually your record so far it's really not half bad we'll talk about that and take more predictions coming up in a moment you're listening to art bell somewhere in time on

art bell
All right, we're about to get underway with your predictions.
And you know what?
Of the 18 predictions that I have thus far reviewed, you think about this a little bit.
These are not just 50-50 calls.
These are specific predictions.
And so out of 18, how many dings do we have?
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.
We have seven dings for random predictions out of 18.
Maybe you folks are becoming somewhat more psychic.
Maybe those who are out there claiming that the general populace is becoming more psychic generally are correct.
Now, I admit it's an early sample and we could go downhill quickly, but that's pretty good.
out of 18 that's actually astounding.
unidentified
Now, we take you back to the past on Art Bell Somewhere in Time.
art bell
Just a little more on that plane, thanks to Fastblast.
I'm hearing the plane was found near Lake Bereessa.
Now, the person who, prison who Fastblasted said, the guy isn't talking, call his lawyer.
The guy is Clary.
And I don't know if he's talking or not, but it looks like it turned out okay.
I mean, nobody's saying anybody got hurt.
Anyway, reading the story here, it says his mistake was leaving the throttle forward.
And when he turned the propeller to try to start it, the throttle was forward.
It sure enough started and took off.
It's my fault, he said.
Clary and his son, get this, chased the airplane north in their minivan until, quote, we just lost sight of it, said Paul Clary IV.
They were able to keep it in sight for no longer than five or ten minutes.
The younger Clary said, it's a disaster.
They think it reached, likely reached 5,000 feet.
Based on the amount of fuel in its tank, it could have gone for two hours.
Now, I don't know the distances involved here to Lake Berryessa if that's really where it is.
unidentified
Absolutely amazing.
art bell
Now, leave it to me to note something like this, but you know, we're all worried about terrorism in this country, right?
And if this guy's plane flying in the blind, truly, no human being at its controls whatsoever, was an hour or two in the air and our military and our civilian people and nobody could find it.
Well, you see where I'm going, right?
If a plane, a small plane, was really wanting to do something awful, it looks to me like they could do it.
I mean, this was a big yellow plane that everybody was looking for because it didn't have a pilot and they couldn't find it.
So what would happen if a small plane was bent on doing something awful?
I'm sure the FAA is thinking a lot about that one and should be.
Anyway, here we go.
Prediction time.
First time caller line, you are on the air.
Hello.
unidentified
Hey, Art.
art bell
Hey, yes.
unidentified
Hey, it's Broadway Bo from Morgantown, West Virginia.
How you doing tonight?
art bell
I'm all right.
First time caller, huh?
unidentified
Yes, sir.
art bell
Okay.
unidentified
Okay, here's my prediction.
And I had a thought about this last night.
In fact, it was in my dream.
And I woke up and I kind of thought, wow, you know, that's only a few days away.
And this is going to take place on New Year's Eve or New Year's night or, you know, the new night when we ring in 2002.
art bell
Yes.
unidentified
And what happened is that there was a random number of suicide bombers standing in the middle of Times Square.
art bell
Are you predicting this or are you just telling us about a dream?
unidentified
Well, that's how I predict things.
art bell
So you are officially predicting.
Yes.
Suicide bombers.
unidentified
Suicide bomber or bombers in the middle of Times Square that I mean, I hope I'm wrong.
art bell
Yeah, me too.
But at the New Year.
unidentified
Yes.
I hope it proves me wrong, but I close my eyes and I can picture it in my head.
I can picture it happening.
art bell
Well, just for the comfort or discomfort of those listening out there, what's your record like with regard to prophetic dreams?
Have they come true in the past?
And if so, on what sort of regular basis?
unidentified
It's been 50-50, mostly small things.
art bell
So this is an unusually big event?
unidentified
Yes.
The biggest, I'd say, that I've dreamt about so far.
art bell
50-50, huh?
unidentified
50-50.
art bell
All right.
Prediction number 11.
Thank you.
unidentified
Thank you.
art bell
Take care.
I'm telling you, we are not getting rosy predictions at all.
Now, I guess that's really understandable, isn't it, in view of what's happened and happening?
I guess it is, but a lot of times, remember, and I don't want to affect your predicting, but a lot of times whatever is true now, six months from now, just ain't true no more.
It's changed.
And so, you know, at least bear that in mind.
But again, I ask you to seek your psychic center.
Think about this a little bit before rendering up your prediction.
Just don't cast it.
That was actually number 11, because number 10 was the S ⁇ P 500 will go up 208 at least.
Whoops, wrong.
I read the percentage sign as a 0.
20% at least, the S ⁇ P 500.
So that was 11, and this will be 12.
Wild Card line, you're on air.
Hello.
unidentified
Hi, good evening, God.
art bell
How are you?
Okay, sir.
Where are you?
I'm in Suffering, New York, about 40 miles outside the city.
Okay.
I have a serious prediction.
I think that it's time that America is going to go into isolation as a country.
That's an opinion.
I'm sorry?
That's an opinion.
Right.
Well, that's my prediction that we will go into isolation this year.
I felt that we should have nuked them all after September 11th.
Hopefully they'll do it themselves now.
But Pakistan and India, I think, will be more conventional.
But maybe they'll all get into it, and we don't have to do anything, and it might be time for us to sit back and take care of our own country for a change.
Well, you know, you have a point there.
I don't know about nuking them all, but it does right now look as though they might nuke each other.
Correct.
India and Pakistan.
Now, we weren't really in a fight with India near as far as I know.
Correct.
But what I'm hoping for is that, you know, we as a country will just sit back and let them destroy themselves in any way they can.
So if the nuclear weapons began to fly over there, bearing in mind we have troops now in Pakistan, right?
And in Afghanistan.
Correct.
You would want to see us withdraw and say, use them up, guys.
About about it?
I would love to see us just sit back in the easy chair and go into isolation and just let the world do what they're going to do out there.
The world will survive without us, and we'll survive without them, and let them do what they want.
Do you think the world really would survive without America?
I mean, have you really thought that one through?
The aid we give, you know, to be honest with you, no.
But maybe the world would begin to appreciate America, which they should.
And I think it's time that we have to take care of ourselves a bit and clean up our own mess here.
So your theory is absence makes the heart grow fonder?
Yes, that's just it does.
I see.
All right, gotcha.
Thank you very much.
America will become isolationist.
It's been suggested many, many times throughout the years by people who are sick of what we do around the world.
You know, that we just draw all our horns in and pay attention to only America.
Just like France.
That's what the French do.
The French are an odd group.
They really are.
They're an odd group.
They're not bad.
The French aren't bad.
They're just...
They're French.
I don't know what else to say.
Yeah, actually, I do, but I can't say it on the radio.
I love Paris.
Lamar and I love Paris.
It's a beautiful, beautiful city.
But the French people, they're French.
East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
Hello.
unidentified
Hello, Art.
art bell
Hi.
unidentified
Happy New Year.
art bell
Thank you.
Where are you?
unidentified
I am in Oakdale, Nebraska.
My name is Sharon.
art bell
Okay, Sharon, you have hum on your phone.
unidentified
Yes, I have a hum.
Okay.
art bell
And you also probably have a prediction.
unidentified
I certainly do.
And I was hoping I had my fingers crossed it would not be number 13.
art bell
Well, sorry.
unidentified
And I have the only sounding good prediction, I think.
art bell
Really?
unidentified
That I have heard so far anyway.
art bell
That figures it would be number 13.
Well, all right, fine.
unidentified
I predict that there's going to be more visible angels appearing to people.
art bell
Oh, I think you're right.
Every guest that I've had on, you know, that has been talking about the other side has been telling me the same thing, that the veil, or whatever it is you want to call it, I call it the veil because that's a cool name, or the barrier between here and there is breaking down.
unidentified
Well, I have a feeling it's been broken for several years.
It's just been people have been afraid to talk about it.
My mother had seen angels several, several years ago when she was a little girl, and she's 92 years old now.
art bell
How does she know there are angels?
unidentified
Because when her grandmother passed away, she saw her at the foot of her bed.
art bell
Yeah, but see, what she's calling an angel, somebody else might call a ghost.
unidentified
Well, this is true.
art bell
Yeah, okay.
Well, no, nevertheless, I buy your prediction 100%, okay?
More visible angels appear.
I mean, more visible everything is appearing, and that that is happening right now.
And some might call that a ghost.
It's all in a name, right?
Angel, dead relative, ghost, however you want to think about it.
The veil, the separation between there and here is clearly breaking down.
Now, you could say, well, Art, you do this kind of a show, and so you hear about this sort of thing.
I know, but the percentage of people that are saying this now to me are, it's just dramatically up.
Very dramatically up.
So I think, on top of what all my guests are saying, so I think there's a pretty good chance that really is happening.
West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
Hi.
Yes, sir, you're on the air.
unidentified
I'm Charlie on Kauai.
I have a positive prediction.
art bell
Okay, good.
It'll be number 14.
unidentified
That you will witness a cheap, clean, abundant energy source model.
art bell
New energy source.
unidentified
Yes.
art bell
What do you think it might be?
unidentified
Well, I'm the inventor of it, so it's kind of we both have to cooperate to get it to the market.
art bell
Well, isn't this prediction affected by insider information?
unidentified
I don't know.
art bell
What do you mean you don't know?
You're the inventor of the product.
That's insider information, sir.
unidentified
I don't know how to respond.
I'm trying to get it out in the world, and I can make a prediction that I will show it to you.
art bell
I see.
Oh, I see.
Well, okay.
unidentified
I'll try to get it through in Honolulu.
art bell
Give me, if you don't mind, please, a little hint.
In what manner does this device generate energy?
unidentified
It's an array of thousands at least of diodes in same alignment parallel that turns Johnson noise into heat into electricity by Johnson noise in thousands at least of diodes aligned the same way parallel.
art bell
Yeah, I've heard of this.
Actually, I've heard of it.
How much energy in the model that you have are you able to produce?
unidentified
I'm only able to get 50 nanowatts out of near 6,000 diodes.
It's not very good.
art bell
So we're not going to be powering any little toys with it.
unidentified
Well, I expect a better model to have a nanowatt per diode and be able to have a trillion diodes per square centimeter.
art bell
So all that would be done on a board?
unidentified
Yeah, a chip with all these diodes as needles embedded in a matrix.
art bell
Alright, well, I'll accept your prediction, and we'll see if it is demonstrated to me or not.
That's a very, very minuscule amount of power, but it is power.
I've heard of that before.
Diodes upon diodes, zillions of diodes, and it would make sense.
It would make some sense.
It might make more sense if it was orbiting Earth.
Remember the great experiment NASA had with their tether, which, by the way, blew off the connection point because there was so much more current than expected?
There's really something to be said about power in space.
The big question is, how to get it back here?
That's the problem.
Motion is power.
Absolutely.
And emotion and two bodies, two large bodies moving about each other generate a very great deal of power or are able to receive a great deal of power.
It depends on how you think about it, I suppose.
On the first time call our line, you are on the air.
Hello.
unidentified
Yeah, hi.
art bell
Hi there.
Yes, sir.
You're in a truck, right?
unidentified
Yes, sir, I am.
art bell
Okay.
unidentified
And my prediction is that Barry Sanders is going to come out of retirement and win the Super Bowl for the Lions.
art bell
Really?
unidentified
That's it.
art bell
Do you have any insider information?
unidentified
I don't.
I'm a tired Lions fan.
Got to see them do something better than they did this year.
art bell
Okay, I appreciate that.
Thank you.
Barry Sanders comes out of retirement.
Nobody really understands altogether why Barry Sanders did retire in the first place.
He just, you know, at the zenith of a career, just said that's it.
But there's been a lot of rumor about his possibly coming back.
West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
unidentified
Good morning, Ark.
art bell
Good morning to you, ma'am.
Where are you?
unidentified
I'm calling from Lolo, Montana.
Okay.
And my name is Suzanne.
art bell
Okay.
unidentified
And I got a prediction.
art bell
Number 16.
unidentified
Oh, not a bad number.
I'm predicting that, this is a good one, that the alternative in homeopathic healing will coincide with the medical profession by the end of the year.
art bell
Will coincide with what?
unidentified
The medical doctors today.
Medical professionals.
art bell
You mean that the medical profession will begin to adopt homeopathic methods and remedies?
unidentified
Yeah, and alternative, you know, herbs and stuff like that.
I think they almost have to.
art bell
You know, it's really, really interesting you would suggest that.
My family doctor is doing that all the time.
He's saying, look here, here's this or that or give it a try.
unidentified
Yeah, I work with all that stuff.
So the only ones who really seem interested right now are chiropractors.
Because they align the back, but then you have to finish the homework, if you know what I mean.
art bell
So alternative medicine becomes mainstream.
unidentified
With, yeah, medical profession, yeah.
art bell
Well.
unidentified
Or they'll join together to work on helping people instead of cutting them up and, you know.
art bell
You know, okay, I have registered your prediction, and I would like to think that you're right.
And I am personally amazed that I have a family doctor that is absolutely that way.
In fact, he's a remarkable, remarkable man here in Toronto, Nevada.
Remarkable man.
But do I think that the entire medical profession, you know, the surgeons and everybody out there is going to suddenly adopt all sorts of alternative ways of doing things?
No, I'm sorry.
I don't think so.
In the interest of getting positive predictions, I give you happy music.
Remember this from Greece?
Maybe this will do.
Getting good food, you'll make a good prediction.
Who knows?
I'm Art Bell.
This is Coast to Coast AM.

Light in your head and dead.
On your feet well another crazy day.
You're driven out of weight.
Forget about everything.
This city destination seems so cold.
It's got so many people, but it's got no soul.
And it's taking you so long to find out you were wrong.
When you started held everything used to think that it's a so easy.
You used to say that it's so easy.
But you're trying, you're trying now.
I know we're making happy.
Just wondering if you see happy.
You're crying.

art bell
All right, back now to the predictive powers of my audience.
Now, I was thinking about this a little bit earlier.
It may well be that my audience, all of you, because of the fact that you listen to this kind of program, you're probably more in tune with yourself, your psychic self.
At least that's certainly a strong possibility.
So the predictions that you all make might have a higher average hit rate.
But so far, that's exactly what we're seeing.
Let's see what's out there.
First time call our line, you're on the air.
Hello.
unidentified
This is Mark in Boise, Idaho.
art bell
Hey, Mark.
unidentified
I'd like to make a prediction about China.
I think they're going to make some significant moves to expand their territory.
art bell
Oh?
unidentified
And possibly play King of the Mountain with America.
art bell
You think it'll center around the Spratlys?
unidentified
I don't know.
art bell
You know, they're in a big fight about the Spratleys with the Philippines and others, you know, claiming they belong to China.
of course they also claim Taiwan and uh...
you could be absolutely right they could begin I haven't heard much news.
no it's probably sadly a pretty good prediction and you think that if they begin making moves Well, I'd have to declare war on him, probably.
Declare war?
On China?
unidentified
It probably cause, what with the numbers, they outnumber us greatly, so.
art bell
Well, mere numbers of human beings in this nuclear age, you know, probably doesn't mean a lot.
unidentified
No.
art bell
And so you would have, since you're president, you would have all kinds of things at your disposal, you know, like neutron bombs that would kill people and not stuff.
unidentified
Yes.
art bell
You would use those?
unidentified
You'd be forced to.
Uh-huh.
If you were the president of the United States.
art bell
I see.
Don't run.
Thanks for the call and the prediction.
unidentified
Thanks, Eric.
Take care.
art bell
Don't run for office.
So China, but that's a pretty good prediction, actually, when you think about it.
China probably is going to make some moves.
Begin consolidating a number of territories, not just the Spratleys and boys would be in a lot of trouble over that, but never know.
Could be the year for Taiwan.
Maybe they'd be satisfied with that.
And even if that, we'd probably get involved with that.
We said we would, right?
Wildcard line, you are on the air.
Good morning.
unidentified
Yeah, you just took my prediction almost.
art bell
That man took your prediction?
unidentified
Almost.
I'm going to go a step further.
art bell
Uh-oh.
All right.
unidentified
China and the United States will be in full-blown war by July the 4th.
And what will kick it off?
They will invade Taiwan.
art bell
Yeah, that would do it.
Why 4th?
unidentified
By July 4th.
I'm going to say right around July 4th.
art bell
Now, when you say full-blown war, do you mean like nuclear war?
unidentified
I believe we will get hit twice with two nuclear blasts where we have the stealth bombers, one in Missouri and one in North Dakota.
art bell
And you know we would hit back, of course.
And you think, what, that we would just hit two of their cities in retaliation and that might be the end of it?
unidentified
I don't think we will retaliate.
art bell
You don't?
unidentified
I don't think we will retaliate.
art bell
How can you imagine the United States would get two nukes going off on its territory from a foreign power, much less some crazy SOB in Afghanistan, and not react?
How could we not react, sir?
unidentified
I think we should react, but I think the probability is that we will not react.
I think we will take our hits.
art bell
Boy, over my dead body.
That's always possible.
All right.
Thank you very much for the call.
I sure do disagree with that.
I think that if a nation state were to hit us with a nuclear device, they could kiss their butts goodbye.
I do understand that there might be a measured response.
In other words, China would hit us with, as he suggested, two nuclear weapons, and we, I think, then would respond, at least in the beginning, maybe in a measured way.
But on the other hand, maybe not so measured.
Maybe we would take all of their military capability away and we'd do it with nuclear weapons, and that would be a lot.
That's a pretty dire prediction.
East of the Rockies, you are on the air.
Hi.
unidentified
Good morning, Art.
art bell
Good morning, sir.
Where are you?
unidentified
Indianapolis.
art bell
Okay, you're going to have to yell at me.
You're not too loud.
What cheery prediction do you have for us?
unidentified
I predict that a biological attack on the United States will happen at the opening ceremonies of the Winter Olympics in Utah.
art bell
Bioattack at Winter Olympics.
May I ask in what way this comes to you?
unidentified
It's pretty hard for me to explain.
Every once in a while I get a gut feeling, and usually when I pay attention to it, it turns out to be right.
art bell
So that's what it is.
It's a gut instinct.
Yes.
unidentified
I don't really know how to explain it any further.
art bell
Well, you don't have to.
A biological attack at the Winter Olympics.
There have been a number of people who have been concerned, worried about that.
Boy, the American people are in a bad mood, huh?
unidentified
I don't think that we're in a bad mood.
I think that our foreign policy and the things that we do around the country is not appreciated.
And I think that we've made a lot of enemies along the way.
I think that with what happened September 11th, kind of like, you know, the first punch has been thrown, and now more people are going to throw punches.
art bell
Yeah, you've got to imagine that that could certainly be the case.
But you think it'll be a, all right, well, all right, thank you very much.
I guess I shouldn't say a bad, but that's really what it is.
Everybody's in a really, really bad mood, huh?
Or is it a realistic mood?
Dark but realistic?
I don't know.
All of a sudden this year, going, or just before the beginning of the new year, everybody's worried about biological and nuclear attacks.
Guess I shouldn't be surprised, but it's pretty dark stuff, especially the biological part.
I think a lot of people out there are being lulled into the it's all over syndrome.
You know, the last chase in the cave-to-cave for Osama bin Laden is underway and it's all going to be over, but probably is not true.
Incidentally, if you get the opportunity, with regard to what's going on in Afghanistan, the hunt for bin Laden, all the rest of it, if you get a chance, watch the CBC, if you've got satellite, watch CBC news and watch the BBC news.
And I say that not because we've got censored news, but we are to some degree propagandized by our own country.
Looking at the news that comes from Canada and comes from Great Britain really will give you a slightly different perspective.
It's really interesting the way they cover things and sometimes the depth to which they cover them.
The dispute, for example, between India and Pakistan and the way that is now being covered.
The BBC is covering it one way.
We're covering it another.
West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
Hi.
unidentified
Hi, Art.
This is Jesse from Medford, Oregon.
art bell
Hello, Jesse.
unidentified
Well, I had a kind of strange prediction.
Kind of retort on what your past two colleagues were talking about, about these little stupid wars and things.
I don't think people realize this we're at an atomic stalemate.
I mean, everybody has nuclear weapons.
We can't really do anything to each other, but destroy the entire planet.
So, I mean, I think the United Nations is going to come in, and there's going to be citizens, and then there's going to be terrorists, and we're all going to have world IDs, like international identification.
art bell
Well, which part, I mean, you're making all kinds of statements here.
What do you wish to make, a specific prediction?
I will only take one.
unidentified
In the next five years, we're all going to have international identification.
art bell
No, I can't take that either.
This is a prediction for this coming year.
unidentified
Oh, I don't have anything for this year.
art bell
Oh, you don't?
All right.
Well, I appreciate the call.
Thank you.
And you also have Hum on your phone.
ID cards within five years.
unidentified
Well, I'm sorry.
art bell
I'm only doing predictions for the coming year.
This is the short term.
So.
First time caller line, you're on the air.
unidentified
Hi.
Hello.
Hello.
Yes, it's hi, Bill.
art bell
It would be me, yes.
Okay.
Turn your radio off, please.
Okay.
And what is your first name?
unidentified
I'm sorry.
art bell
You're obviously off, turning off the radio.
What is your first name?
Al.
Al.
Okay, and where are you?
unidentified
I'm in Chatsworth, California.
art bell
Okay.
Your prediction will be number 20 if you have it.
unidentified
Okay.
Oh, I'm just predicting, you know, I just have a gut-gut feeling about this thing that as soon as we relax, they're going to blow up an airline.
They're going to blow up a domestic airline.
art bell
Another plane to blow up.
unidentified
Yeah.
You know, I think they can stop the hijacking, but what they're going to probably do, somebody's going to get aboard and have a baggage put in the airline like they normally do, and it's going to be plastic explosives.
And I hope I'm wrong about this, but this is what I'm feeling.
Well, when we let our guards down.
art bell
Well, you know, this guy who had the C4 in his heels of his shoe.
Yes.
It's funny because he had gone to the airport the first day and they stopped him asking him questions, but then they let him on the second day.
Yeah.
And, you know, the idiot lit a match, and so he got caught that way.
But, I mean, if he had known what he was doing, which he obviously didn't, he certainly would have blown up that airplane.
And I don't know how confident I am that security is working.
unidentified
Well, I think it's only really so much they can do.
I think they're doing the best they can.
art bell
Oh, of course they are, yes.
But it may be, you know, mission impossible.
And if people want to give up their lives to take a plane out of the air, maybe there's hardly any way to stop it.
unidentified
That's what I'm feeling.
You know, and like I said, I just have a gut feeling about this, but I hope I'm wrong.
art bell
I doubt you are.
I appreciate the call.
Thank you.
unidentified
I love your chore.
art bell
Thank you, sir.
I generally agree with that proposition.
Now, he did get stopped and the plane didn't blow up, but it was close.
I mean, he got C4 on an airplane, for goodness sakes.
And then the next day, we're supposed to feel better by seeing some shoes, all by their lonesome cells, going through the scanning device.
Suddenly, you have to take off your shoes and put them on a little thing, you know, the conveyor that goes through the scanner.
And I think that was supposed to make us feel better.
The fact of the matter is, if people really want to give up their lives, you know, commit suicide, take a plane out, it is really, really hard to stop them.
East of the Rockies, you are on the air.
Curio.
Hello?
Yes, yes, sir.
Yes.
unidentified
Wow, this is incredible.
Yes, my prediction is I listened to your show with Mr. Hetzman.
art bell
Oh, yes.
unidentified
And my prediction will be that Catholicism will be in resurgence, especially with regard to Mary.
And also, I have a recommended guest for you now that Father Malachi Martin is along with us.
And that would be Father Benedict Grochel.
He has written many books.
art bell
Just email me how to get hold of him.
And you think he would be a really interesting guest?
unidentified
Oh, he absolutely would be.
art bell
Why?
unidentified
Oh, he's written so many books, and many, in fact, more books than Father Malachi Martin.
And he's also very ecumenical.
art bell
What is happening now with the Catholic Church?
Is it in a resurgence?
Are all churches now in a resurgence?
unidentified
I think that the Catholic Church is in a resurgence.
Absolutely.
And I think that John Paul II has so much to do with it.
I think he will go down as one of the doctors of the church in the future.
The effect that he's had in the last 20-some years is enormous.
And Father Groschell is so cognizant of all these aspects as well as other religions.
He's really a student of all the world's religions.
art bell
Sold.
Sold.
You get me information on how to contact him and I will do it.
It's artbell at mindspring.com.
Very good.
unidentified
Okay.
art bell
Thank you very much.
Would very much like to have somebody of that stature on the program talk about the state of the church.
Father Malachi Martin Boy, he really was something money.
Just an amazing, amazing, amazing man.
I'm so honored that I had such a close relationship with him and got to interview him as many times as I did.
He was just an amazing, has to be one of the amazing men of the century, really.
West of the Rockies, you are on the air.
Hello.
unidentified
Oh, yeah, is this Art Bell?
art bell
It is indeed, yes, sir.
Where are you?
unidentified
Oh, my name is Ray.
I'm calling from Ukiah, California.
art bell
Okay, Ray, your prediction, if you're making one, number 22.
unidentified
Okay, my prediction is that by July, I'm predicting a great modern revival like we've never seen before.
This is going to be greater than the Azusa Street miracle.
art bell
A great, what, spiritual, religious revival?
unidentified
Yes.
I mean, it amounts to all this bad turmoil and everything, all that I'm hearing.
This is what I'm predicting that's going to be happening by July.
art bell
And what do you think?
Well, that's interesting.
What do you think will bring this on?
unidentified
Well, with all this war and stuff going on, I think everything that's going on in the world, it's going to be bringing families and everybody else back together.
I mean, I see some of it happening since the 9-11 situation that took place.
art bell
All right.
Well, listen, your prediction is a lot like the last one.
That's very good.
Okay, I'll put it down.
That's number 22, also saying a great spiritual revival is almost upon us.
That's actually kind of positive stuff, isn't it?
I'm Art Bell.
This is Coast to Coast AM.
unidentified
You're listening to Art Bell Somewhere in Time on Premier Networks.
Tonight, an encore presentation of Coast to Coast AM from December 27th, 2001.
Here and line.
Mother, mother.
Sang of joy and pain.
He opened up our mind.
And I still can hear him say heart to me.
I I never dreamed that I'd knew somebody like you.
No, I don't wanna fall in love with you.
So I don't wanna fall in love with you with you
What a wicked game to play to make me feel this way.
What a wicked thing to do to let me dream more.
You're listening to Art Bell Somewhere in Time on Premier Network.
Tonight, an encore presentation of Coast to Coast AM from December 27th, 2001.
art bell
Most of the predictions we're getting are pretty dire.
unidentified
Make me dream.
art bell
And the supposed good ones are really what happens when dire stuff occurs.
You know, when a lot of really dire stuff happens, people rush to the churches.
So a big spiritual revival is not out of the question.
But think of what brings it on.
I'm Art Bell.
unidentified
predictions from all of you continue in a moment It You are listening to Art Bell Somewhere in Time on Premier Networks.
Tonight, an encore presentation of Coast to Coast AM from December 27, 2001.
art bell
Back now into the land of predictions.
And actually, y'all are doing as well as some who predict for a living.
But I'm not surprised at that.
I mean, this audience, you would expect to be, you know, a little bit above average when it comes to predictive ability.
And so far, so good.
Actually, every year, a little better.
First-time caller line, you are on the air.
unidentified
Hi.
Hello.
Hello.
Hi, Art.
art bell
Hi.
unidentified
Yeah, I want to predict that a catastrophic event of some sort will happen that will usher in a great revival.
The guy that was on before me kind of stole my idea, but I've been having this feeling for quite a while now, and I think it'll happen this year.
art bell
Okay, but you think a catastrophe of some sort, even greater than 9-11 is going to bring it in?
unidentified
I believe that I'm not going to say exactly what it is, but a catastrophic event will happen this year, and the only thing that people will have left to do is to call on their Maker.
art bell
You all are in a dire mood, aren't you?
unidentified
Yes.
art bell
I appreciate the call.
Thank you.
Very dire mood.
Guess it's 9-11.
I don't know.
You should not ignore this, though.
When this many people are saying stuff this dark, and even when the positive people are saying, well, it'll be a good thing coming out of darkness, then they're all really saying the same thing.
And when this many people say anything, you had better take notice.
I'm certainly beginning to.
On the wild card line, you're on the air.
Hello.
unidentified
Hey, Art, it's Stephen from Evansville, Indiana again.
art bell
Hello.
unidentified
I have a question for you.
Did you hear today that there was a solar explosion, and not a solar flare, but a solar explosion that's supposed to create aurora borealis as far down as the Midwest?
art bell
You know, I did hear something about that.
Now, I'm looking at the X-ray flux right now.
There was an M-flare that we had just a very few minutes ago, within the hour.
And then there was a gigantic M-flare, and that's all I see here.
Now, explosion-wise, I'm not exactly sure that I have a website that shows explosions.
unidentified
I wonder what that would mean, though, what an explosion would mean.
I mean, I know about solar flares, but I don't know.
art bell
Well, flares are kind of explosions.
However, I will tell you this.
Oh, my God.
I'm looking at the index, the solar index right now, and it's two.
Holy mackerel, it's 275.
That's astounding.
200.
Holy mackerel.
unidentified
You know, when I was in the Navy in the late 70s, I was a Morris code operator, but we also had satellite systems.
And whenever there was a solar flare, we had what was called scintillation, and it completely knocked out our satellite systems.
And I was wondering, how come that doesn't happen anymore?
I mean, I don't ever hear anything about satellite systems really being able to do it.
art bell
Well, uh the the main i it could still happen uh with a mega flare and we did have one mega flare.
Thank God it didn't hit earth.
One of the reasons would be because we now have much higher powered satellites than Well, this one was supposed to be some kind of huge solar explosion, and Aurora Borealis was supposed to be all the way down through the Midwest.
unidentified
Of course, we've got snowy outside, snowy clouds, so I can't see the damn thing.
And I was just wondering if any other callers might have.
art bell
All right, let's see what we can find out.
Yeah, I heard some stuff about that.
Boy, oh, boy, some of these counts are absolutely amazing.
There were some rounded counts earlier in the day of 290.
Holy moly.
And the sun really has been at minor to major storm levels, right?
Major storm.
Right now, major storm.
So there's a lot going on in the sun, as I've been telling you, and we should be in a decline right now, and yet it's rivaling the top of the cycle.
unidentified
So strange stuff.
art bell
East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
Hello.
unidentified
Hello.
art bell
Yes, sir.
Hi.
unidentified
This is James coming from Alabama.
art bell
Hello, James.
unidentified
Yes.
I predict that in the next year that we're going to see a vast increase in the number of UFO sightings and alien abductions.
art bell
Really?
unidentified
Yes.
And I believe that one of the people that will be abducted will be the president.
art bell
Oh, now that certainly would get everybody's attention.
unidentified
And because of this, the CIA and the government decide that it's time to come clean with the general public as far as the existence of aliens and the UFO technology.
art bell
So not only will they have to come in front of the American people, somebody like Alex Haig, no doubt, saying, listen, we've decided we've got to come clean.
Not only are there aliens and UFOs, but one of them appears to have taken our president.
unidentified
Right.
art bell
That's one hell of a prediction, sir.
unidentified
I see that happening this next year.
art bell
How did this come to you?
unidentified
Well, I've been...
Right, right.
Well, I've been kind of, well, I'm a fan of the genre anyway as far as, you know, UFOs existence.
Are they out there?
Well, we know they are, but, you know.
And if you look at the past few years, you can tell there's been a definite increase.
It goes through peaks and valleys, so to speak.
art bell
Now, having had an opportunity to observe George Bush under fire, you know, going through the war and everything.
unidentified
Right.
art bell
How do you think he'll do when he's on the table?
unidentified
That I don't know.
But I think he'll still be the president as far as his attitude.
art bell
So he'll take it, whatever it is, presidentially.
unidentified
Yes.
art bell
All right.
That's the damnedest one I've had yet, but appreciate it.
It's number 24.
Remember that number.
unidentified
Okay.
art bell
All right.
Take care.
That would do it, all right.
The president has been taken by aliens.
I am now in charge.
Oh, boy.
Western of the Rockies, you're on the air.
Hello.
unidentified
Thanks, Art.
This is Joe in Tucson, Arizona, listening on KNST 790.
art bell
Yes, sir.
unidentified
Well, I have a prediction for the coming year.
art bell
Okay.
unidentified
And that is that this will be the year, 2002 that is, will be the year when the discovery is made of a near-Earth asteroid, you know, one of the Earth-approaching minor planets, that will require what's called in the field mitigation.
That is, some kind, it will require some sort of deflection, you know, using one of the competing technologies to do that.
art bell
Now, I don't mean to stir anybody up or shake anybody up, but, you know, all over the net right now, there are all kinds of really, really, really strong rumors about scientists having detected something that we haven't all been told about yet.
You've been getting that, too?
unidentified
Well, I tell you what, I work in that field.
I'm one of the professionals who works in a minor planet that is in the near-Earth asteroid.
art bell
Are you really?
Are you really?
unidentified
Yeah, here in the Arizona desert, right, using two telescopes on a high mountain here.
art bell
Okay.
unidentified
Anyway.
art bell
No, no, no, no, no, no, wait, wait.
unidentified
I'm making this prediction.
art bell
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
unidentified
Sure.
art bell
Wait.
Do you know more than you're telling us right now?
unidentified
No, sir.
No, no, no, absolutely not.
This is strictly off the cuff.
You know, it's more by feeling than by any sort of discovery.
But it is informed a little bit, Art, by some experience in the field and the very fact that discoveries have been becoming more frequent because the technology is getting so good now to detect these things.
CCD detectors.
art bell
Sure, sure, sure.
unidentified
Blowing every other technology out of the water and have for a dozen or two dozen years now.
art bell
Well, there have been some movies, as you know, made of this sort of thing.
Now, if something like this were detected coming at the Earth that would do substantial damage, ranging from not too much to ending all life at the microbial level, what would happen politically?
Would it be announced?
Would you all tell before the President did, or would you go straight to the government, or would the government come straight to you, or what would happen?
unidentified
Oh, there's a very, very well-established protocol for this now.
It's been formulated over years, and in general, the data is sent to the Minor Planet Center each and every night that we're out there observing.
art bell
Right.
unidentified
And that's at Harvard, Harvard University.
We email all the data to them.
art bell
Yeah, but assuming that you got the WOW sighting and you saw something that was likely headed our way, what do you think would happen when you sent that in and they confirmed it?
In other words, what do you think the chain of events would be?
Would we be told right away or not?
unidentified
Yes, in fact sometimes even some rather half-baked orbits leak out, you know, even before there's sufficient data to make an accurate projection.
art bell
Right.
unidentified
And there's no way to stop that because it's, you know, information is free to flow and it must do so in the field.
art bell
Yeah, there have been a number of false alarms.
unidentified
Yeah.
That's embarrassing, but it's really nobody's fault.
The fact is that an orbit can become much more precise overnight just by one extra observation or perhaps one of our colleagues could look back and find the object on a photographic plate made in 1970.
art bell
Sure, sure, sure.
unidentified
Surely the orbit is extraordinarily precise because we have a long lever arm on it.
art bell
Right.
unidentified
Gotcha.
art bell
Now, with regard to mitigating something that might be coming our way in some way, do we have the ability right now to really do anything if a big rock was headed toward Earth, what could we do?
unidentified
I would say the technologies are there.
In other words, we are a technological society, I should say technological enough, to carry this out.
It's just that I don't think that there is the political infrastructure or even the relationship among governments to actually carry this off, at least smoothly.
We have seen since September 11th that certain very difficult things can be done through our own government and through international relations.
So if there's a sufficient need, things can get done.
But the fact is that it's been pretty rocky to Little Pun?
Yeah.
art bell
Now here's one for you.
If the rock or whatever it was, and as it got closer, certainly the point of impact could be determined, right?
unidentified
Yes, but that would require probably what's called a couple of oppositions.
It might take about two years or more to really pin it down.
accumulate the data, accumulate the precise observations, precise positional observations.
art bell
If once we determined precisely where it was going to fall, if it was going to fall on China, would we...
unidentified
Yeah, oh, I have a bunch here.
art bell
Yeah, a bunch.
unidentified
Sarah, my place.
art bell
If it was going to fall on China, would we attempt to mitigate it?
unidentified
I think wherever it falls on the Earth, Art, and this is why we have to take this threat so seriously in general.
I'm not saying there's a specific one now.
I don't want to give any false alarms.
If one is to fall anywhere on Earth, it must be mitigated regardless of the locale, because even if it falls in the ocean, because bad news for everybody.
You know, an object of sufficient size would simply take out the biosphere for about 10 years.
And that means we go with it.
art bell
We go with it.
So it would have to be an international effort of some kind.
unidentified
It would indeed.
art bell
All right.
You stay in touch with me.
unidentified
The big players, of course, will have to take the biggest part in it.
In other words, the U.S., Russia, probably China.
art bell
Will you put me on the first contact list, please?
unidentified
Well, I tell you what, the Minor Planet Center will probably be the very first, and you'll be a close second, okay?
art bell
You got it.
unidentified
I think you're doing great work, Art.
Thank you.
Take care.
art bell
Take care.
How interesting.
How very interesting.
He's part of the team that's out there looking for one of those rocks that might be headed our way.
Now, even after making that request and getting that gracious answer, I'm not sure that I believe it.
But he is certainly right about the false alarms.
They have been getting out, but they've all been downstream.
You know, in 30 years, this might happen.
In 100 years, that might happen.
Nobody has yet said, oh my God, look, six months, that's the one you've got to really worry about.
I wonder if he'd really call me.
I can hope.
West of the Rockies, you are on the air.
Hello.
unidentified
Hi, Arn.
art bell
Hello.
unidentified
Hello.
Let me turn down the radio because I can't listen to you and dial both.
art bell
No, that's true.
You can't.
Turn it off all the way, actually.
unidentified
I've got it off all the way.
art bell
Where are you?
unidentified
I'm calling from Seattle, Washington.
art bell
Okay, Seattle.
unidentified
Yeah, Diane.
art bell
Hey, Diane.
unidentified
Okay.
art bell
You want predictions?
If you've got them, I'll take them.
It'll be number 26.
unidentified
Okay, well, actually, they're just two little ones.
art bell
No, I can only take one.
unidentified
Okay, we'll do a fun one because I'm so tired of hearing of all this dire stuff.
art bell
Pretty rough stuff, huh?
unidentified
Oh, you know.
Everybody says something's going to happen, but they can't tell you why they know.
I think Ellen DeGeneres is going to, and this is a fun one, is going to do a lot of fill-in work for David Letterman, and soon she will take over the tonight show.
art bell
Really?
unidentified
David Letterman.
I think what her performance, oh, and thank you for that response.
I think her performance, I think maybe there are already people who are saying this woman should have a talk show, and it should go big time, and it should go the night.
She will be the next one.
art bell
Really?
unidentified
Yeah.
art bell
Ellen DeGeneres to take over the tonight show.
unidentified
Yeah, well, I think Letterman's about the closest to retire, and maybe he'll start taking more time off.
So he'll use her as a fill-in and I think she will be one of the biggest successes there ever has been.
art bell
All right, that's a very interesting prediction.
unidentified
Oh, thank you.
art bell
Is that a bird I hear in the background?
unidentified
No, it's my little dog.
I'm nursing her through a heart spell.
art bell
Oh, she doesn't sound well then.
She sounds more like a bird.
A bird.
Thank you for the prediction.
unidentified
You're welcome, Mark.
art bell
Take care.
Yeah, sorry about that.
That was a dog, huh?
Didn't sound too good.
First time caller align on the air.
Hello.
Sorry.
unidentified
Poe?
art bell
Yes, turn your radio off, please.
Okay.
unidentified
Sorry.
art bell
Sorry.
Everybody does it.
unidentified
Where are you?
I'm in Oklahoma City.
art bell
Oklahoma City.
All right.
Do you have a prediction?
unidentified
Yes, I do.
A fairly simple prediction.
The whole doomsday, whatever, everybody thinks that we're going to see something drastic and masky.
I don't believe that.
A good friend of mine explained it to me very well one time.
He said that when you cook a frog, you don't throw him immediately into steaming hot water.
You turn the fire up.
art bell
Well, not unless he'll jump out if you do that.
unidentified
Right, right.
So you understand.
art bell
Yeah, so you slowly get him on.
unidentified
think that we ask people here in the United States of is that simply are much much the same the powers that be the people who are controlling I don't think that they're going to throw us into the water.
I think they're going to gradually count the heat.
No, I think we're going to see another ho-hum year, really.
I really do.
art bell
You know, you're the first one to predict that.
A calm, ultra-calm, ho-hum year.
unidentified
Yeah, well, I mean, we're going to see some more, probably some escalation of the problem that we have over in the Middle East right now.
But I don't think it's going to be anything drastic.
I mean, think about the big KO punch that they threw us on 9-11.
art bell
Right.
And I think that's what everybody is thinking about.
And I think that in combination with all the warnings we're getting and the worry about bioterrorism and nuclear weapons in India and Pakistan, you've got to admit, it's a pretty lousy atmosphere out there right now.
unidentified
Yes, I'll admit that, yeah.
art bell
I just listen, I think your prediction is fine.
You think that it'll all turn around and be relatively active?
unidentified
I don't think the conditions are necessarily getting better or leveling off.
I just think that there's a lot more control in this issue.
art bell
No, that's fair.
I mean, we frogs are just getting a little warmer, that's all, right?
unidentified
Yeah, and they're going to turn it up, and they'll turn it up, and they'll turn it up, and eventually we will be cooked, but I don't think that we're going to be cooked all at one time.
art bell
So are you a fairly warm frog right now?
you know i am the coolest for up frog on the block i i'm i don't I mean, that's your own theory.
I'm turning back on you there.
I'm Art Bell, and this is Coast to Coast AM roaring through the nighttime doing predictions.
Hope you get a chance to make yours.
Number 28 is going to be next.
Stay right where you are.
unidentified
The trip back in time continues with Art Bell hosting Coast to Coast AM.
More somewhere in time coming up.
You know, I need your love.
You've got that hold over me.
Long and I got your love.
you know that I'll never leave.
Well, I wanna get...
*music*
I'll follow the city dream of me.
And from the beyond, turn the dawn today.
But you have to think we had to get up before.
The magic got away I'm alone with the night I'm playing in the battle I love you at night Till the morning I cry Run, oh, run tonight Good girl, you can't depend

art bell
So online ordering, you know, ordering on the web and ordering through catalogs is up about 33% for the year.
Are you amazed at that figure?
I'm not.
I don't know about America becoming isolationist, but since 9-11, Americans have become kind of isolationist.
And they're not really leaving home, and if they are not very far, very few are flying.
And a lot are ordering on the web.
So the revolution is well underway, probably given a big spike by what happened on 9-11.
People are not really leaving home.
I wonder when that will really change.
West of the Rockies, you are on the air.
Hi.
Hello.
unidentified
Hello.
art bell
Yes, hi.
unidentified
Hi, Art.
art bell
Hello.
unidentified
This is Kathy in Phoenix.
art bell
Hi, Kathy.
unidentified
Listening to you on KFYI.
art bell
Sure.
unidentified
I've got a prediction.
All right.
And one of your callers said that people...
don't say how they know I dream things okay that's what I have this is what I have dreamed all right do your dreams frequently come true always come true once in a while come true almost always come true almost always all right with that in mind what have you dreamt I have dreamt and I don't know if it's natural or unnatural as in man-made that there will be a disaster in Mexico that will result in the U.S. having
to close the border and set up guards along the border.
art bell
Wow.
unidentified
And I've seen a lot of fire and a lot of darkness, but I don't know if it was natural or man-made.
art bell
Holy smokes.
You know, your prediction coincides with one made by Sean David Morton about Mexico City.
unidentified
Really?
art bell
Yeah.
I'm not sure he made it for this coming year, but I mean, you could be right.
There could be something that would happen in Mexico that would be so dire that the border would be so flooded that we would virtually have no choice, I suppose.
unidentified
I'm dreaming.
art bell
Bad dream.
All right, thank you.
unidentified
Okay.
art bell
All right, bad dream.
Americans are just in a really dire mood.
And that certainly is a possibility.
You know, it may be, but so many people thought that, you know, the kind of thing that happened on 9-11 never, not, could never really happen.
I mean, even I thought that.
Somewhere in my heart of hearts, I just, I never imagined that the heart of New York City could be struck the way it was.
That two great buildings that seemed sinkable, you know, like the Titanic, would be sunk.
I mean, it's just beyond all imagination.
You could not concoct a horror movie with greater special effects, only it was real.
And so maybe now that something of that magnitude has occurred, people suddenly feel free to let go what they've been thinking.
I don't know.
But I'm noticing a marked difference in the kind of predictions we're getting.
First time caller line, you're on the app.
unidentified
Hi, this is Rob calling from Chaos FO in San Francisco.
art bell
Okay, how you doing?
unidentified
Oh, terrific.
How are you doing?
art bell
Good, good.
Your prediction, if you have one, will be number 29.
unidentified
Okay, I predicted under our President George W. Bush that we're going to go into a period of extended enlightenment and prosperity with racial equality and we're going to, the United States is going to influence the whole world.
I don't have these dire predictions that other people have.
art bell
Why do you think everybody is so dire?
unidentified
Well, everything from war to comets hitting the Earth, I study astronomy and engineering and science and politics.
And there's probably a long shot chance, but it's a very, very long shot chance that we're going to have a meter hit the Earth or something like that.
And I think that the way our president is handling things is just the latest thing of his relationship with China.
He's going to head off having.
Yes, I think he'll head off.
You know, I was always fearful of China, but I think he's going to head it off.
And I've just been reading about him, following him, and listening to what he said and what he did in Texas before he was president.
And this guy's, everyone's been bashing him, but this guy's extremely capable.
He's kind of understated.
art bell
He's actually had pretty good days lately.
You know, since the war, I think he's getting pretty high marks.
unidentified
Yeah, well, he's getting high marks because of the tragedy we've had.
But even if we hadn't had that tragedy, this guy's got a capability I don't think I've seen in any of our...
art bell
But, but, but, the economy right now is in trouble.
Well, you know, and you know, traditionally, you know, when economies get in trouble, so do presidents.
unidentified
Well, well, I suppose that can happen.
But I hear, and I follow the market also.
art bell
Oh, it can happen.
I mean, you could ask his dad, you could ask Jimmy Carter, you could ask a lot of people, you know, it can happen.
unidentified
Well, I think that it's going to turn around, and I think there's already indicators that the Democrats, And I used to be a Democrat.
I'm living in San Francisco.
There's only Democrats in San Francisco, I guess.
art bell
Pretty much.
unidentified
Pretty much.
And I just I no longer believe that they're for the small people or for the working people and they've they've just changed their attitude and and what they've gone through lately or they're they're causing us to have this uh economic problem uh because they're they want to get re-elected and and I guess you can't blame them for that.
art bell
Do they still like burn people in San Francisco?
unidentified
Burn people?
art bell
Yeah.
unidentified
No, I don't remember that.
art bell
No?
Well, okay.
Then I guess you're safe.
Otherwise, I'd say you're a candidate for the stake.
unidentified
Well, I keep at arm's length.
I'm not.
I have no connection with Bush or politics.
I don't run for politics.
It's not my business.
And I'm just saying it's all on my own.
art bell
I see.
unidentified
My intuition, really.
art bell
You're in enemy territory there.
unidentified
Well, I don't know.
I think there's a lot of people changing their mind, actually.
art bell
All right, sir.
I appreciate the call.
A lot of rethinking going on in San Francisco, huh?
George Bush to lead us to prosperity.
I'm sorry, I don't have that feeling.
And I don't think it's George Bush's fault, particularly.
I really don't.
I just think that we're in that cycle.
You know, there's a cycle.
The economy has a cycle.
And George Bush's dad got caught in the down part of the cycle, and George is getting caught in it, too.
Whether it will stick or not, or what happened with 9-11 will eclipse whatever bad news there is about the economy.
And people normally blame it on the president.
Maybe they will not do so this time, but that would be historical change.
Wildcard line, you're on the air.
Hello.
unidentified
This is Norm in San Diego, Coco Radio.
art bell
Yes, sir.
unidentified
Art, you sound the same on the phone as you do on the radio.
I got the radio shut off, and I'm listening to you on the phone.
art bell
Now that's all.
unidentified
I sound exactly the same.
art bell
That's something that nobody ever says.
unidentified
It's absolutely true.
I've been listening to you since the days of K-Dawn when the toilet overflowed and you were getting all that water down into the studio.
And I remember the glue on the lip.
art bell
Yeah, you've been there.
You've been there a lot.
unidentified
What is comet doing and the red other kitty cats?
art bell
They're all just fine.
unidentified
Happy New Year to you, Ramona, and the kitty cats.
I have a prediction.
art bell
And it will be number 30.
unidentified
Israel will find the Ark of the Covenant.
And when they find it, because it's a promise from God to them, they will not reveal the contents to the world.
art bell
Really?
If you were standing in front of the Ark of the Covenant and you had an opportunity to open it, there it would be.
All you would have to do would be to reach down and open it.
Would you do that?
unidentified
No, sir.
What I would do is I'd go back to my Bible and look up Revelations.
Uh-huh.
Because I don't think it's my purpose to open up the Ark of the Covenant.
art bell
It's Israeli.
unidentified
Well, you could look at it a different way.
art bell
If you had an opportunity to somehow be right in front of it and it was there to be opened, then you might feel differently.
unidentified
If there was an angel standing by my right side, maybe I'd stay there to see it be opened.
But I do believe Israel will find it this coming year.
art bell
It is possible.
unidentified
And they will not reveal the contents to the world.
art bell
There are others, you know, who say it's already been found and is being guarded now.
unidentified
I do believe that it's not been found yet, and I do believe it's intended for these Israeli people.
And they're going to find it, and when they do, they'll keep the contents to themselves, at least for the time being.
And they ain't going to reveal it to the world.
They may reveal it to the Pope, maybe the Pope, and then he'll keep the secret.
But anyway, it's been fun listening to you since, my gosh.
art bell
Way back when.
All right, sir.
I appreciate the call.
Thank you.
All right.
Israel will find the Ark of the Covenant.
You know, there are many who feel it's already been found and is under guard, and I'm sure those guards think that's what they're guarding.
Steve in Brighton fast blasts me the following, and several people have done the same, so I'm sure it is so.
Steve says, solar blast, twisted magnetic fields above sunspot group 9742 erupted December 26th.
The blast sparked an hours-long M7-class solar flare and hurled a bright coronal mass ejection CME into space.
Now, whether or not it is headed for us, I don't know.
But if people are predicting Aurora, that sounds like it is.
I'm not surprised.
Our sun is really going berserk.
And again, you will all note, so is the Earth right now.
East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
Hello.
unidentified
Hello, Sir Jane Lee.
art bell
Yes, hi there.
unidentified
Hi from Lebanon, Virginia.
Okay.
And I look forward to that Aurora Borealis.
art bell
Oh, you do?
unidentified
Yeah, I saw it the first time in November.
art bell
Amazing, huh?
unidentified
Yes.
And look forward to that.
My prediction is that there will be increasing international cooperation between the United States and Russia and will help to mitigate the situation between Pakistan and India.
art bell
Do you think that Russia and the U.S. have the power to virtually tell them they will not go to war?
unidentified
I don't know if they have the power to prevent, but they certainly have a lot of influence.
I have a dream 25 years ago about Pakistan and India.
art bell
And that dream was...
Oh, really?
unidentified
Yes.
And the Pakistan hit India.
It says, oops, mistake.
Baby says, no, and sent back.
art bell
I think with nuclear weapons, oops is not responded to well.
unidentified
No.
But in that dream, Russia and the United States did work together.
art bell
Well, we could work together to perhaps see to it that whatever happened there would not become global.
There was a guy who called earlier and said, you know, if it happens, let him go at it.
unidentified
Well, I think he has an unpleasant surprise if he decides just to let go, let everything else in the world go to Pod.
While he sits back in his chair, he'll find it comes back.
art bell
Uh-huh.
Well, all right.
I appreciate the call.
Thank you.
Damned if we do and damned if we don't.
In other words, if we go out and get involved in the world, then we are the big bad, interventionist, adventuresome U.S. The same old U.S. aggressive, adventuresome, troublemaking, invasionary, whatever words you want to use.
That's how we're looked at By a lot of countries.
Now, if we were to sit back and not do much of anything, we would be responsible for the chaos of the world.
Can't win, can you?
West of the Rockies, you are on the air.
Good morning.
unidentified
Good morning.
art bell
Turn your radio off, please.
unidentified
I just did.
art bell
Good.
Where are you?
unidentified
Kennelwick, Washington.
art bell
Okay.
unidentified
This is Victor.
art bell
Yes, sir.
unidentified
And I had a question for you before I make a prediction here.
Okay.
Over the years, how many of the listeners' predictions have actually come to pass?
art bell
Well, you know what?
I haven't totaled them up all the years.
But the audience in the beginning years did very poorly, if I'm recalling correctly.
I can't give you exact numbers because I've never added it all up.
But this year so far, they're doing remarkably well.
Now, a person might suggest that this audience as a whole is becoming somewhat more psychic.
unidentified
I believe that's happening overall worldwide, actually.
You do?
Yes.
I've noticed I've had a lot more dreams about stuff that's actually come to pass and visions and things like that.
art bell
Well, do you have one specific dream or vision that you are prepared to turn into a prediction?
unidentified
Well, yeah.
I'm not going to predict the exact day or time because the Bible says I can't, but I believe we're going to see the return of the king.
art bell
The Lord comes back?
unidentified
Yes.
art bell
And that, you believe, will occur in now?
unidentified
Next year.
art bell
Next year?
unidentified
Yes.
art bell
Lord returns next year.
unidentified
Or a bunch of you know...
Well, he's going to come twice, of course.
He's going to come and take the church out of here.
And I guess he's going to be in okay mood then.
art bell
He's going to take the church out?
unidentified
Yeah, believers?
art bell
Oh, you mean the great sucking up of believers?
unidentified
Yeah, the rapture.
art bell
And then he's going to be in a bad mood the next time he comes back.
unidentified
When he comes back seven years later, he's going to be real ticked off.
I was going to use another word, but...
We're on the radio.
art bell
Yeah, and it's the Lord we're talking about.
unidentified
And he's going to be not in a good mood.
art bell
He has justifiable retribution.
He doesn't get ticked off or worse.
Not when we're talking about the Lord.
We get ticked off.
He has justifiable retribution.
And he visits it on us in ways of locusts and water turning to blood and stuff like that.
But he's not ticked off.
He's just, it's justifiable retribution.

Everybody is looking for something.
Green, green, it's green day today, on the part side of the hill.
Green, green, I'm going away to where the grass is green and still.
Oh, I told my mama on the day I was born.
Don't you cry when you say I'm gone.
You know, there ain't no woman going to turn it down.
Just gotta be traveling on, singing.
Green, green, it's green, they're gay, on the far side of the hill.
Green, green, I'm going away to where the class is greener too.
There ain't nobody in the whole world going to tell me how to spend my time.
I'm not going to love a ramble man.
Anybody, can you spare me a dime?
Hear me cryin'in the green, green day day On the far side of the hill Green, green, I'm all alone You're listening to Art Bell Somewhere in Time on Premier Network.
Tonight, an encore presentation of Coast to Coast AM from December 27, 2001.
art bell
I'm playing cheerful songs, trying to sort of get you in a mood to make cheerful predictions, but it's just not working.
And if it keeps going this way, I'm going to just join you and play Barry McGuire or something.
You know, I am not, let me repeat this, I am not taking predictions by fast blast.
And I'm getting a million of them, and I'm just not taking them.
They're not going to be put down, I'm sorry.
Ditto for those that are emailed, not taking them that way.
Only those made so the entire audience can hear them are the ones that I will put down on the official sheet.
Now, bearing in mind that those predictions made last year were made prior to the 911 events, let us quickly check some more made last year.
Number 19.
Telepathy will increase this year.
Did telepathy increase this year?
I'm going to say bonk.
No.
I'm going to be pretty hard on these predictions.
are those who would say it did increase, but it's an argument.
Here we go.
20.
George W. Bush goes on the air and pays 2.
or offers $2.5 trillion to buy Siberia.
Bonk.
Anyway, the Russians have learned that they don't make good deals with us.
I mean, look what happened with Alaska.
Number 21, that babies will be born with higher IQs.
And, you know, I'm really tempted to give this.
I'm going to give this one a qualified ding, ding, ding.
I've had a number of guests who have cited studies showing that is indeed occurring.
And then, I'm not sure about this one.
Dennis Rodman gets into politics.
I believe that's a bonk.
Maybe I'm wrong.
Is he into politics somehow?
Number 23 is another virus will be released.
Or there will be a viral release in the U.S. This one is going to have to get a ding, ding, ding, ding.
After all, look at what has happened.
Number 24, that New York will sweep it in sports.
Bonk.
Look what happened in the Super Bowl.
Number 25 says that Art Bell will be offered a TV show.
Ding, ding, ding, ding.
Not only was I offered one, but I was offered actually quite a number of them.
Turn them all down.
Number 26 is that there would be a newsworthy fiasco, something that would be life-threatening.
Oh boy, you got to ding that one.
9-11 dings that one for sure.
Number 27, the Antichrist returns.
Now, I'm not sure what to do with this.
I'm going to be tough and bonk it.
The Antichrist is not known to have returned.
There are many who say that the Antichrist lives now.
That the Antichrist is of age now and is alive in the world, but I don't know it to be a fact.
So I'm going to tentatively bonk it.
And that was number 27 made last year.
We now continue, or in a moment, excuse me, in a moment, we will continue with predictions for 2002.
unidentified
30.
You are listening to Art Bell Somewhere in Time on Premier Networks.
Tonight, an encore presentation of Coast to Coast AM from December 27, 2001.
art bell
Coast to Coast AM All right, I've reviewed 27 predictions made last year for this year, at the end of last year, and you know what?
I think I've been fairly tough on the people, and you all would be 11 for 27.
11 for 27.
Now, that's damn good.
It's not good if you're talking about a 50-50 guess on something.
But if you're talking about a specific prediction, something randomly plucked from the ether that you think is going to occur during any given year, I would say 11 for 27 is almost too good.
Really almost too good.
So bearing that in mind and bearing in mind the nature of the majority of the predictions that we've been getting so far, it could be a pretty rough year.
I will say.
First time caller line, you're on the airline.
unidentified
This is Austin in Indianapolis, listening to you on WIBC at AM 1070.
art bell
Yes, sir.
unidentified
Welcome.
It's the first time I've called.
I've listened to your show for six years, and I enjoy it.
art bell
Well, I'm glad.
unidentified
I wanted to clarify one thing that Sean David Morton was talking about last night, and that's the 10-nation configuracy that has been referred to a number of times by a number of your guests, ostensibly thinking in terms of the European Union.
But that I don't believe is correct.
There is a 10-nation configuracy envisioned by a group called the World Parliamentary Organization, whose spokesperson was none other than Mikhail Gorbachev about five years ago.
They have a constitution drawn, and their goal is to establish a world government through the auspices of the United Nations.
art bell
Do you think a world government would automatically be a bad thing?
unidentified
Taken in context with the biblical prophecies, the outcome of it is fairly certain.
The fact is that they have divided the world into ten regions.
And I think that's significant because here you have the number that equates with the prophecy that you've referred to quite a number of times on your show.
art bell
Oh, yes.
unidentified
Now, as far as prediction for this year, I truly believe that given a biblical insight into the scripture in Thessalonians that tells us when they cry peace and safety, sudden destruction will come upon them.
Yes, I do not believe that we're in that period in which we're going to have all of this gloom and doom.
Therefore, you have to agree we're in a state of heightened alert right now.
art bell
Well, I agree.
I don't yet hear a prediction here, but I think that's.
unidentified
Well, given that fact, I think that we're going to see some prosperity right around the corner.
In fact, a tremendous upsurge in prosperity.
I think that things are going to not only calm down, but actually speed up in terms of our economic growth.
I think that we're going to see the deal with China result in that peace and safety that we were just talking about.
art bell
All right, got it.
Prosperity is just around the corner.
And the deal with China is going to lead us there.
Now, I don't know about that.
I do know that, and I've spoken of this many times before I was in China, you know, in Hong Kong and then up into communist China.
If you had been with me or seen what I had seen, it would have scared the you-know-what out of you.
The amount of commerce going on there ought to be believed.
Not to be believed.
Lines of trucks carrying goods, and I passed 40 miles of factories, you know, on either side of the street, factory after factory.
It would remind you of the U.S. in the industrial, at the very height of the industrial age, you know, when all the steel mills were really cranking and everything.
It would remind you of that.
It was pretty scary stuff, considering the number of people in China, the abilities they have, and all the rest of it.
We are either going to join them economically, or they are going to pass us like a turtle.
We're going to be crawling along like a turtle, and they're going to go right past us.
So something is going to have to happen.
And it may be that George Bush has the vision, somehow get along with China and have everybody economically prosper.
That would be much better than the alternative.
That's for sure.
Wildcard line, you're on the air.
unidentified
Hello, Art.
art bell
Hi.
unidentified
I think that we're going to see at least two, probably a lot more people get arrested and run through the ringer, very similar fashion to Kevin Mitnick and Dmitry Sklyarov.
art bell
So more hackers busted?
unidentified
I'd love to explain in detail why I think this, but that would take most of a show.
art bell
No, I think your prediction is probably a pretty sound one.
Considering how much of our economy is turning toward the Internet and e-commerce, then I would imagine any threat to that would be responded to with all guns blazing.
unidentified
They're probably going to get more serious treatment, more serious and foregone conclusion.
art bell
So more hackers busted.
I would agree with that.
And it's inevitable, isn't it?
If so much of our economy is going to be based on e-commerce, then in order to make people comfortable with that economy, with that reality, that's what it is, it's a reality, anybody who threatens that will be treated like a bank robber.
And that's not so far off base, really, right?
Robbing banks.
It's the modern version of going into a bank and say, stick them up.
So I would imagine they're going to get very tough.
They're going to protect the economy.
We're in a nation that protects its economy, wherever it may go and whatever it may be, and that's always changing.
So sure.
I bet you're right.
East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
Hello.
unidentified
Hello?
art bell
Yes?
unidentified
Hello?
Hello, Art.
art bell
I'm sorry.
unidentified
This is Mikey in the Music City listening to you on WLAC 1510.
art bell
Nashville, yes, sir.
unidentified
Yeah, you've been to Nashville.
I want to predict that prediction number 24 would be wrong, and it would definitely, or prediction 24 would pull down the average of correct predictions next year, and that would make my prediction right and offset him.
art bell
That was a gentleman who predicted a vast increase in UFOs and abductions, and furthermore, that the President of the United States would be abducted.
Right?
unidentified
Right.
art bell
So you're saying prediction 24 is wrong.
unidentified
No, I'm not going to.
I'm not going to.
That's not my prediction.
I just wanted to keep him from pulling down the average of next year's correct predictions.
art bell
I understand how you feel.
unidentified
Mine would be right if I predicted that.
art bell
On the other hand.
unidentified
On the other hand, if she was right, I'd be wrong.
art bell
All right.
unidentified
No, my prediction is that in June of 2002, there will be an abnormally high birth rate.
art bell
Birth rate?
unidentified
In June of 2002.
art bell
That's not exactly a hard thing to predict, is it?
And I know exactly how you're doing it.
unidentified
It's not hard to figure out, is it?
art bell
No.
No.
I mean, there's something about disaster that causes people to act like rabbits, basically.
I guess I didn't put that very tenderly.
But that's basically it.
Is that how you're basing it?
unidentified
Right.
art bell
Safe bet.
Your prediction is recorded, sir.
Thank you.
All right.
Right.
Babies.
He's right, of course.
People feel threatened, and when they feel threatened, they get closer together.
And when they get closer together, well, they do what people do.
And so nine months from that time, there will be more babies born.
I'm sure he's exactly correct.
Probably a pretty safe prediction.
Just about June, huh?
I wonder if all the support companies for infants, you know, like formula makers, diaper producers, cradle makers, I mean, all the things that you need when you have a baby.
And boy, you need a lot of stuff that you never even knew existed.
You know, all these things you've got to get to boil sterilized bottles and nipples and it goes on and on and on.
I wonder if all of these companies, if their stock is up.
Anybody give that a thought?
It's like war after a war boils and baby boom.
That's why they call it the baby boom generation.
And I wonder if they're all ratcheting up for June.
West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
Hello.
unidentified
Hello, Art.
art bell
Yes, sir.
unidentified
Hey, it's Mark in Venice, California.
art bell
Yes, Mark.
unidentified
Listen, while I agree, there were some callers earlier in the show predicting a spiritual renaissance.
I agree with them, but at the same time, I'm going to predict right now that Scientology will be fully exposed as a corrupt organization and at best be dismantled and at least lose its charitable status and suffer a huge crippling attrition rate.
art bell
Well, that's not going to happen.
unidentified
What do you think of L. Ron Hubbard's cosmology?
art bell
Well, I think people are entitled to believe in that as much as anything else they want to believe in.
unidentified
I agree with you there.
Live and let, live, and all that.
but at the same time you know we're talking about i'm talking about you know human rights violations that are going to come to light you know and uh...
art bell
i've heard rumors about that but i've never really seen I've heard the rumors, and you hear that about every religion that has not quite made it up there with the Catholics and the Protestants, you know, and the big ones.
unidentified
Personally, I don't hear these rumors.
You know, I tend to investigate them, and I really believe that the idea of religion for sale and using money that is tithe tax-free to pay lawyers to harass people like me.
But I'm here and talk about it.
That's not charitable.
That's not that.
art bell
Wait a minute.
Why would they harass you?
unidentified
Well, because I'm speaking negatively or critically of Scientology, and that's part of Belron Hubbard's doctrine.
Anybody who speaks out against them, you know, can be, I mean, I could quote him, shall be disposed of quietly and without sorrow.
You know, I mean, it's rough stuff there, I'm telling you.
What did you think of his writings?
art bell
I've read his book.
Look, I think there are things about Scientology, frankly, that are very beneficial.
I'm not a Scientologist, but I think that they're really on to something.
unidentified
Right.
Well, you know, that's my prediction.
I think Scientology is going to go the way of Heaven's Gate.
art bell
All right.
Scientology.
unidentified
Let's see.
art bell
Scientology wants declines.
I'll be easy on you.
I don't think so, though.
You know, I've looked into Scientology, and as I told that man, there are good aspects of it, and in America, you're allowed to believe in whatever you want to believe in.
And if Scientology is your thing, then I don't know.
I don't have a problem with it.
Whether they're persecuting him personally or not, maybe.
Send me evidence, sir.
I'll look at it.
It's kind of hard to believe.
They're probably ignoring him.
Scientology is very, very, very interesting.
First time caller line, you're on the air.
Hello.
unidentified
Well, hi there, Art.
This is Sam in Fallsville, Washington.
art bell
Yes, Sam.
unidentified
And caught in a security glitch on November 24th at the SeaTac Airport.
art bell
You were?
unidentified
Yeah, it was a No, no, no, no.
What happened was that one of the concourses, the employees failed to plug in the metal detector at 7 o'clock.
art bell
Oh.
unidentified
And so they had two hours of people going through.
art bell
Without being detected.
unidentified
Yeah.
They brought four airplanes back that had been in the air for 30 minutes.
art bell
Holy smokes.
unidentified
They brought us out.
There was no sign of plan.
art bell
That tells you what kind of a time we live in.
Holy mackerel.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah.
There was no sign of a plan, no sign of leadership.
It was pretty amazing.
Anyway, from that comes my prediction.
art bell
Yes.
unidentified
By the end of 2002, if we want to fly in an airplane, we'll be taken into little cubicles.
We'll have to undress in front of a registered nurse.
art bell
Strip search, right?
unidentified
And then we'll be given, they'll take our clothes, shoes, and belongings, put them into Ziploc bags into the hold of the airplane.
art bell
Yeah.
unidentified
Then we'll be given little paper mumus.
art bell
How about, oh no, not the paper things.
Well, unless you're slit up the back.
No, not the slides.
unidentified
No, no, no, no.
art bell
Probably not.
How about like Roman Togus?
unidentified
Something along that line.
And little, you know, the surgical slippers.
And then we all get to go on the plane, basically, naked.
art bell
Well, it'll make flying a different kind of experience.
unidentified
I think it'll be a great party myself.
But anyway, so this is something we have to look forward to.
I'd like to add just one thing.
I think one of your other people is right.
I don't think we're going to have any big trouble.
I think these guys have enough energy in them to make a big gesture every few years.
art bell
I hope, I sure hope it's a good year.
I really do.
unidentified
Yeah, I think you can get it.
And so, Art, who knows, maybe we'll wind up having a toga party on some flight.
Good for it.
art bell
You take care, sir.
I'm Art Bell.
Could he be right?
unidentified
This is Premier Networks.
That was Art Bell hosting Coast to Coast AM on this Somewhere in Time.
*Music*
You're listening to Art Bell Somewhere in Time.
Tonight's broadcast of Coast to Coast AM with Art Bell was recorded on December 27, 2001.
Now, sit back and relive what happened somewhere in time.
art bell
You know, sometimes you're just kind of in a Layla mood.
unidentified
Got me old money.
art bell
There's a whole thing.
It's a Layla mood thing.
unidentified
Bang and garland tree.
art bell
This is such a great version of this, isn't it?
Good morning, everybody.
unidentified
we're doing predictions You're listening to Art Bell Somewhere in Time on Premier Networks.
Tonight, an encore presentation of Coast to Coast AM from December 27, 2001.
art bell
Music Music Music First time call our line, you're on the air.
Hello.
unidentified
No, I currently have one of the worst jobs in the world at this point.
I am a customer service manager for a major airline.
art bell
Wow.
unidentified
Yeah.
art bell
Are you really?
unidentified
Yeah.
art bell
What's it like?
unidentified
Seventh Ring of Hell?
art bell
The Seventh Ring of Hell.
unidentified
with the Club Med compared to this.
It's, um...
The job was It's the passengers that we have now, they say that the flying public, that they're just not coming back, which really isn't true.
They're coming back, and they're coming back meaner.
art bell
Meaner?
unidentified
Meaner.
I had a 92-year-old woman flying from Newark to Palm Beach last week, and I was speaking with her and assigning her bulkhead seats because she uses a walker.
art bell
Right.
unidentified
And she let me know that she would prefer to have an aisle seating just in case anything happens.
Because at her retirement community that she stays at, they had a self-defense instructor come in, and she knows how to disable a man with her walker.
art bell
So she was prepared to take down anybody causing trouble with her walker?
unidentified
Oh, she's ready to roll.
She's on it.
art bell
She's on it.
unidentified
And the majority of the passengers feel the same way.
The same way.
They're becoming a lot more in tune to their surroundings.
art bell
Well, I think, you know, passenger, there's a change in psychology.
Surely it did used to be everybody keep quiet, be calm, the plane will be taken to its hijacked location and everybody will be cool.
Now, for the most part, I think passengers have figured out they'll die.
unidentified
They figured it out on that fourth plane.
art bell
So you might as well take your best shot.
And actually, it's been working.
You know, it's been working.
unidentified
So you think people are getting...
They're being a lot more in tune with their surroundings now.
It's no longer, I'm getting into a tube, I'm going to sit here for two hours, I'm going to wolf back my meal, read my magazine, and then tune out of everybody else.
People are becoming a lot more aware of one another.
And another really nice bonus is I'm a man large in stature.
art bell
Yes.
unidentified
And before when I would step onto a plane, I could mentally feel people wheel me by with their minds.
You know, they don't want to sit next to the big guy.
And now, I get a hero's welcome.
art bell
Now, you're in demand now, right?
unidentified
They dust off the seat.
They're ready for me.
So it's been very, very nice in that aspect.
But a lot more people are going to start traveling a lot more.
And another problem you're going to see is at the security checkpoints, you're – Oh, I heard the guy talk about the TOGUS.
What really impressed me more was the gentleman that you had on last night, speaking of martial law.
You have that at the airports now, and it's going to get a lot tighter, a lot tighter.
Once they start moving in the full-time federal government employees running security, I mean, once they're in charge of the whole show, oh, baby, it's going to make Israel look like it's run by a bunch of smurfs.
art bell
You remember the guy with the explosives in his shoe, right?
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
art bell
And then, like, the next day on CNN, we saw all these shoes.
Not people, not things, not briefcases, but shoes going through the conveyor belt.
Right.
Did that make us, should that make us feel better?
unidentified
Oh, by all means.
I mean, any little bit that helps.
I mean, it boggled my mind forever.
When I first came, I've got eight years.
art bell
I mean, is it going to get down to where we're going to see bras and underwear or undergarments?
unidentified
A friend of mine who's a friend of mine who's a flight attendant, very attractive woman, going through security.
Her underwire set off the alarm.
And the gentleman running security wasn't, well, he wasn't being a gentleman.
We'll put it that way.
But yeah, I mean, it's setting off everything.
And they're allowed to check.
They're allowed to pass search and everything else.
I mean, you see the shoes going through the conveyor belt.
They're allowed to pull you aside and pass search.
art bell
Wow.
unidentified
You know, if they suspect it.
And they will.
And I've gotten complaints over that.
Like, how dare I?
You know, that apparently the law is implied for others, not the ones that actually get called aside.
And I think that's one thing people do need to realize that this law does apply to everyone.
art bell
Well, they are unabashedly doing profiling now.
In other words, if you look, you know, if you look like the kind of person who might have a bomb hidden somewhere, you're definitely going to get asked more questions, right?
unidentified
On the front lines, I really couldn't tell you.
I really, really couldn't tell you because where I work is in reservations.
art bell
All right, well, you've told me, and what did you say?
I asked you how your job was and you said.
unidentified
7 Fringo Fell?
Yeah, yeah.
The passengers I get to deal with are a lot more aggressive because they're on the phone.
You know, being radio, I'm sure you understand.
You get those people that kind of disassociate just a bit because they don't feel they're actually communicating with a person.
art bell
Well, yeah, the other thing is, of course, that when you fly now, it's very stressful.
And so you're going to get some pretty wild people.
I'm sure that's absolutely true.
Yeah, airline travel could get very interesting.
I mean, we could get down to the togas.
And maybe the airlines, in order to make it an attractive deal for people, could let you keep the toga.
So, you know, when you're done with the flight, you'd have like an American Airlines, a United Airlines toga that you could take home with you.
Now, people might go for that.
Or not.
Wildcard line, you're on the air.
Hello.
Hey, what's up?
unidentified
Check it out.
I just feel as though there's going to be a revolution in music.
art bell
Oh, music, really?
unidentified
Yeah, absolutely.
I mean, this Britney Spears and rap stuff really can't last for so long, you know?
Well, sure.
art bell
Of course.
unidentified
She does all America.
I think it's just sending the wrong message of sex and violence.
art bell
So you think that music will move away from sex and violence into what?
unidentified
Well, I think that if the industry moves away from sex and violence, it will.
But I mean, as far as commercial MTV and this is Matt's concerned, it's going to stay where it is.
But I think there's going to be an uprising in the underground music of America.
art bell
Is it possible that music could become music again?
unidentified
Good question.
Yeah, absolutely.
From a musician's point of view, yes.
art bell
Now, I'm certain this reflects my age, but I cannot listen to the music today.
unidentified
Well, I can't either.
I dig some cream, you know, I dig some dead, some fish, which is a little off the wall, but it's not.
art bell
I'd rather take a header off the Empire State building onto a thumbtack than I would listen to a lot of the music today.
I know, yeah.
It's just awful.
unidentified
I just think, I know that there's a powerful underground scene of music in this country as of now.
And as far as what you see on your TV and what they're pumping into your head, like Britney Spears and Brittany's all right.
I mean, yeah, she's okay, I mean, as far as that's concerned, you know.
But, like, BMX and all these other rappers, you know, I just think that there's going to be a definite uprising before you know it.
The kids are going to realize that this is just not for them.
art bell
That would be so cool.
I mean, if people are out there demonstrating for music that they could, for one thing, understand the lyrics of, for another, sing along with, for another that actually carried a tune that you can hum.
unidentified
Right, like a nice cadence, GD.
art bell
Something, yeah, anything.
unidentified
All right, very good, sir.
art bell
Yeah, it's a good one.
It's a good one.
Thank you.
Essentially, his music, and the way I will record it, is music to become music again.
A revolution in music.
That is a very cheerful thought, but I don't think it's going to happen.
I think more than likely my attitude about music today is because of my age.
And the only reason I say that is because that is absolutely historically true.
When I was 13, and I was recording songs and going nuts over rock, my dad was sad.
Sad about something that he called.
He said it was not music, and that's exactly what I'm saying.
So it's probably my age.
However, it doesn't change what I feel is a reality.
Now, the reality is that you could sing to songs, you could enjoy the beat, there was a melody, you could actually understand the words.
That was to me music.
Even in my dad's day.
Bless his now-gone soul.
Music, and I can listen to a lot of that.
But what's happening today is, I don't know what it is.
It's like the French.
East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
unidentified
Hi.
Hello.
Okay.
I called with a comment.
You had a gentleman a while ago call about that we would absorb the first strikes.
art bell
Oh, that there would be two nuclear detonations and that we would absorb both of them without retaliating.
unidentified
If you remember some years ago, I think if I have attributed right, Stan Dale said that there was a presidential decision directive to just that very effect that President Clinton signed.
art bell
Well, I don't believe it.
unidentified
I mean, I don't believe that we would necessarily do it.
art bell
That's what I'm saying.
I don't believe we would do it.
That may be correct.
We would sign it.
I understand.
unidentified
Yeah, and I would like to find out, was that ever rescinded by our new president?
art bell
I think it would be rescinded, my dear, at the push of a button.
You follow me.
unidentified
Yes, I do.
And are our warheads back up and running?
Because there was also something to the effect that they had shut down the silos, and it would take, what, like, 20 minutes or so to get them back to arming position?
art bell
So it was said.
unidentified
Yeah.
I would be interested in hearing what, if it was Stan, I'm not sure.
art bell
Yeah, I know he said some of that, and I know about this point that they are.
Oh, and they were supposedly aimed at the ocean and all the rest of it.
But, you know, if somebody hits us with nuclear weapons, they're toast.
unidentified
I agree.
art bell
Yeah, they're toast.
All right.
unidentified
Thank you.
art bell
Right.
Thank you very much, and take care.
Not a prediction there.
But an interesting discussion.
Now, I don't care what kind of directives are out there.
I don't care.
I know that any president of the U.S. would sign his own political, absolute, complete death warrant by not responding to a nuclear attack in kind, and especially two detonations.
No way.
Believe me, we would respond.
Wes for the Rockies, you're on the airflow.
Hi, Art.
unidentified
Yes.
My prediction is going to be the scandal of 2002.
And it deals with the fact that George W. Bush has been losing it up for about a month and a half now.
art bell
You think he's drinking?
unidentified
I think he's drinking again.
I think he's couldn't cut the mustard on this latest episode.
art bell
Wow.
He does seem to have done pretty well, according to the country.
unidentified
Yeah, but just listen to his voice really closely.
He has definitely started doing something really different in his personal life.
art bell
To think a president will be revealed to be on the sauce.
unidentified
Yep.
art bell
Okay, I'll put it down.
Thank you very much.
Well, I guess he means really hitting it hard.
I mean, if you were president right now and the Twin Towers had been hit and destroyed, and the Pentagon had been hit with severe damage, and we were at war, you'd probably have a drink or two, wouldn't you?
I think I would as president.
I think that went over really hard.
But I don't know about the hard drinking he's talking about.
West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
Hello.
unidentified
Hello, Art.
This is Gary from Seattle.
art bell
Hi, Gary.
unidentified
Hi.
You haven't got there yet, but I made a prediction last year.
I think it was like 70 or something, about Russia and China getting together.
art bell
Hold on a sec.
unidentified
It didn't exactly come true, but it sort of did because, if you remember right, Putin and the Chinese premier signed a 20-year friendship pact.
art bell
Well, what I recorded for number 70 was Russian crime mafia joins with the Chinese.
unidentified
Yeah, I guess I did put it that way, and that's not quite right.
art bell
That's not quite right, huh?
unidentified
However, I think it's interesting that they're starting to talk to each other.
art bell
Well, still.
I'm going to have to bonk you when I get there.
unidentified
That isn't correct.
But it's interesting that they're getting together.
Here's two other things, real quick, before I make my prediction.
Two movies you might be interested in.
I heard that Mel Gibson is making a movie about Krausser.
art bell
Signs.
It's called Signs.
I've seen the trailer.
It's going to be awesome.
unidentified
That's kind of interesting.
And there's a new Time Machine movie being made.
art bell
No.
unidentified
I don't think you heard that.
art bell
No.
unidentified
I thought you might be interested in that.
I don't know when that's coming out.
art bell
What is it?
unidentified
It's like the H.G. Wells, I believe, but just a new version of it.
art bell
No kidding.
unidentified
Yeah, sometime probably next summer, I think.
My prediction is not quite like that guy that said a few nukes are going to be dropped on us from China or someplace, but I do believe we're going to have nuclear incidents.
I've had a dream about a couple of nuclear dirty bombs.
art bell
You know.
unidentified
Nukes and something connected with water.
And I think it's either going to be a smuggled nuclear dirty bomb or it's going to be someone attacking one of our coastal nuclear power stations, blowing it up.
art bell
Well, of course, our nuclear plants are vulnerable.
Nobody has been able to answer for me.
What would happen if a 747 or another large aircraft were to plow into a nuclear plant?
unidentified
Oh, I can give you something on that.
They had a big article up here since I'm close to Hanford, and they did studies years ago, but it's only for a very small jet, sort of like when they did for the World Trade Center.
art bell
Yeah.
unidentified
And the NRDC, the Regulatory Commission, has admitted that their studies have never progressed to a large jet, but they simply won't say anything, but they basically admit that a large jet could probably breach most of the containment vessels.
Really?
Yeah.
art bell
That would be horrible.
unidentified
Yeah, it would.
I'm thinking of something like maybe they might even bring in some of those stolen, some of those Stinger missiles, smuggle some of those in on a boat offshore.
If you lob two or three of those into a containment vessel, how would it be?
art bell
Yeah, that was going to be my next question.
Would a Stinger, even though it's a ground-air missile, if it hit a containment, would that take it out?
I mean, they just don't talk about these.
unidentified
I think it would have to be several.
art bell
Several.
unidentified
Yeah.
But they interviewed recently the Texas guy, the congressman, 60 Minutes, that sold them all those, and he said he regrets that he's been living in fear.
His nightmare for years has been they shoot down an airliner with one of them.
He actually admitted that on TV.
art bell
Wow.
All right.
I appreciate your call.
unidentified
All righty.
art bell
Thank you.
Who was it who I had on the other night who said that the people who flew the aircraft that participated in the 9-11 disaster flew right over a nuclear plant?
And I believe that is accurate.
They probably did fly right over a nuclear plant.
Can you imagine?
Maybe they didn't do it because they didn't know if it would work.
Who knows?
First time call our line, you're on the air, hi.
unidentified
Yeah, how are you doing?
It's Dave.
I'm somewhere in between Terre Haute and Indianapolis.
I'm a truck driver.
art bell
Yes, sir.
unidentified
I just wanted to make actually a comment and a prediction all in the same breath, I guess.
My prediction is that we're going to see a wide array, like a wide range of different kinds of movies coming out, nothing of which we've seen like with the violence and the sex on TV, like stuff like Harry Potter and that movie you just mentioned about Mel Gibson, Contact, all those sorts of better nature type films.
So in a sense, I'm talking of more like a Hollywood revolution because I believe that they really think that with the violence and the sex that there has been some damage done.
And I think they really do believe now that they have a part to play in turning that whole thing around.
art bell
In other words, you're saying Hollywood has a conscience.
I disagree with you.
Your prediction certainly could be correct about movies moving more toward G ratings and moving more toward the paranormal.
And there is a great new movie coming out.
It's called Signs.
And it's all about prop circles.
And I think it's due for release perhaps in August of 2002.
Mel Gibson, of course.
And it's about time they did a movie about this.
So you could be certainly correct about the genre of movie that we're moving toward, but I would argue with you that Hollywood has not developed some sudden conscience.
Not a chance.
Hollywood makes, you know, it's a supplier.
Right?
It supplies what people demand.
And that's the biz it's in.
If they think that people are demanding this kind of movie, they will make this kind of movie.
They will not suddenly begin making this kind of movie because they have some sort of conscience.
They don't.
Believe me, they don't.
They do what you'll go and pay to see, folks, and that's how it works.
I'm Art Bell.
This is Coast to Coast AM.
unidentified
You are listening to Art Bell Somewhere in Time on Premier Network.
Tonight, an encore presentation of Coast to Coast AM from December 27, 2001.
I may think I'm only full of her cheese.
But I may think I'm only full of her cheese.
Falling in love with you.
I see.
You are listening to Art Bell Somewhere in Time on Premier Networks.
Tonight, an encore presentation of Coast to Coast AM from December 27, 2001.
art bell
still concentrating on Hollywood getting a conscience and removing the fact in violence from movies for On their own, that is.
Now, of course, if that's what you all want to see, that's exactly what they'll give you.
but on their own?
unidentified
Ha ha ha ha ha.
*Breathing* Nate.
Now, we take you back to the past on Art Bell Somewhere in Time.
art bell
Art Bell Once again, into the Dancing Shadows and East of the Rockies, we go.
You're on the air.
Hello.
unidentified
How you doing?
art bell
I'm doing all right, sir.
unidentified
Oh, great, great.
I was a little troubled to get through, but I'm glad I did.
art bell
You were troubled to get through?
unidentified
No, no, some time, you know, a lot of redialing, you know.
art bell
Oh, it was troubled to get through.
unidentified
I see.
Yeah, a little trouble.
But the prediction I have is I think we're going to see a lot of strides made in the cloning area.
I don't know how you are with the scientific thing, but some people may think that the religious people may believe that it's not meant for us to mess with nature.
art bell
Well, you're obviously pretty high on cloning, I would say, right?
unidentified
Well, I'm over here in Massachusetts, and they just made some strides.
I'm not positive exactly what it is, but there was something done in the area at a local, you know, what are they, bioengineer establishment.
But I believe in the coming year, I mean, whether it's supernatural or not, I think we're going to see some big strides in that.
art bell
Well, I don't know about supernatural.
It may seem that way with what we get.
So in other words, if they clone a human being, which is quite likely this year, not only would you not be surprised, but you would be pleased.
unidentified
Well, absolutely.
I believe there's a lot of benefits.
You know, there's many, this stem cell research.
There's a lot of diseases that can be cured with this research.
art bell
Yeah, but what about the cloning, the full cloning of human beings?
I mean, that's where it's going.
How do you feel about that?
unidentified
Well, I mean, you can look at it a bunch of different ways.
I mean, the person that is raised that way is obviously the same genetically as someone else, but sociology that would determine the outcome.
art bell
Well, that's kind of a theory.
We don't know that for sure.
I mean, twins that have been raised separately have turned out to be incredibly, remarkably alike, despite different environments.
So I don't know about that.
unidentified
I mean, it's interesting.
art bell
Would you clone yourself?
unidentified
You know, I don't feel the need to do that.
I mean, you know, that goes along with the old joke.
If you have sex with your own clone, are you gay?
Or are you just in love with yourself?
art bell
Was that an old joke?
I didn't never heard that one.
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
Well, you know, if you clone yourself.
art bell
Having sex with your own clone, that's pretty.
unidentified
Would that make you homosexual?
It would be macrobating.
art bell
Oh, goodbye.
unidentified
All right.
art bell
The whole thing is pretty disgusting.
I think cloning is kind of disgusting.
I'm not a fan of cloning.
Having sex with your own clone.
Yeah, that's really, really, really bad.
So you've obviously thought a lot about it.
West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
Hello.
unidentified
Hi, Art.
art bell
Hi there.
unidentified
How are you doing?
I'm calling from Honolulu.
This is Ellie.
art bell
I was mostly all right before the cloning call.
unidentified
Ah, me too.
It sort of turned my stomach.
art bell
Yeah, at least.
unidentified
And I agree with you about Hollywood.
I mean, they'll never change.
art bell
Well, no, they might, but I mean, the only reason would be because that's what we want to pay to go see.
unidentified
Yeah, but see, that's what makes money is the sex and violence.
art bell
Well, that's what we pay to go see.
unidentified
Yeah, exactly.
And I also agree that music has to get back to its old shape or form, you know?
art bell
Yeah, music.
unidentified
Yeah.
I'd like you to play something by the Beatles sometime.
art bell
Oh, I have plenty by the Beatles.
unidentified
No, something by the Beatles.
art bell
Oh, V something, okay.
unidentified
Right, right.
art bell
All right, okay.
unidentified
Anyway, my prediction is that, well, one of them is going to come true.
It's going to be a palindromic year.
But my real prediction is that Cheney is going to have to leave office because of illness.
art bell
Well, he's been close to it already.
It could certainly happen.
unidentified
I think probably by June.
art bell
Nobody really sees Dick Cheney anymore.
unidentified
I know.
art bell
It's kind of like they're hiding him.
unidentified
know i mean i know why they do it because of what happened in But it's like we don't hear about what he's doing.
We don't see him on TV now.
art bell
Oh, I know.
The normal vice president job is really bad anyway.
You know, I mean, what does a vice president get to do?
But in this case, man, they've probably got him locked away reading books somewhere.
unidentified
Yep.
art bell
All right.
So you believe Cheney will leave office?
Bad health.
unidentified
Right.
art bell
All right.
Thank you.
unidentified
All right, bye.
art bell
That is prediction number officially, number 43.
unidentified
Hmm.
art bell
Of course, he has had health problems, as you know.
Wonder where he is.
I suppose if you consider his health problems on the one hand, and in other words, he should probably be fairly sedentary anyway, they've probably got him hidden away just reading books or something.
He is ten times less visible than the normal vice president, and the normal vice president is barely visible.
First time caller line, you're on the air.
unidentified
Good morning, Artie.
art bell
Good morning, sir.
unidentified
Pleasure to speak with you.
art bell
And with you.
Where are you?
unidentified
I'm in Vancouver, as a matter of fact.
It's Blue Moon Rising.
art bell
Ah, yes.
unidentified
Yes.
I have a prediction.
It's not a good one.
art bell
That's all right.
Join the crowd.
unidentified
Yes, no.
I do want everybody to realize that forget about the Middle East and things.
And what we do have to concern ourselves a lot with is the Third World War, which actually began at the breaking down of the wall.
art bell
No, no, no, no.
Wait a minute.
What do you mean the Third World War began when the wall came down?
unidentified
Well, if we look back in history, we will realize that when the Third World War began, it was when the wall came down.
art bell
Yeah, you already said that, but you didn't explain it.
unidentified
Well, the United States and Russia became friends, and that left the only other semi-baby superpower all alone.
And China will begin their march to become the one ruling country in the globe.
art bell
Well, you know, I don't know about that.
I think China is going to become the ruler of Asia.
I think there's a very substantial possibility that China is going to become to Asia what we are to the Americas, what a few select countries are to Europe.
Certainly that process is underway right now.
But as far as China taking over the whole world, I don't think so.
But nevertheless, we'll record it.
First time caller line, you're on the air.
Hi, Art.
unidentified
Hello.
My name's Robert.
I'm a trucker in Columbia, South Carolina.
art bell
Yes, sir.
unidentified
Yeah, I actually had a vision.
Okay.
And it's about the airlines.
I tried to call you earlier and I lost you.
But my prediction is that by October, there will only be one airline left.
And you're going to have to be Ted Turner-type Bill Gates or whatever to even afford to fly, I think.
art bell
Really?
One single airline left.
unidentified
Right.
And it will mostly be controlled by the U.S. government.
art bell
More like LL, huh?
unidentified
Well, I firmly believe that the government will set up the flight patterns, departure and arrival times, fueling points, the whole nine yards.
art bell
Here's, I mean, you're talking about one of America's major industries virtually disappearing so that only VIPs can fly.
Exactly.
That's a very serious prediction.
unidentified
And, you know, that's not to say that there won't be the privately owned, you know, single aircraft pilots out there that are going to be out scabbing flights here and there.
I mean, you know, the possibility for that main.
art bell
I know, but to imagine, I think I've got to thank you.
To imagine that the U.S. would be reduced to one single carrier that would basically be a government carrier, government-controlled, to the degree that it would be government like El Al.
unidentified
Whew.
art bell
Sure hope not.
Now, I would miss that a lot about America, wouldn't you?
Booking flights, going online, booking flights, and Seeing the competition out there between the airlines, can you imagine what a plane ticket would cost if only one airline existed?
Can you imagine?
That man can.
First time caller line, you are on the air.
unidentified
Hello!
art bell
Hello!
unidentified
Hey, got northbound Bob here.
art bell
Northbound Bob.
From where, Bob, are you northbound?
unidentified
Northbound in California.
art bell
Okay.
unidentified
Hello, Madeira, California.
art bell
Yes.
unidentified
And I got a little prediction about, you know, the crop circles.
It was in Sheffield, England.
art bell
Oh, yes.
unidentified
I think, or I got a dream the other day about it, that someone figured out how we could make one and try to communicate with them.
So we went up to a field, 50 by 70 foot, like a picture or a hieroglyphic.
I don't know how to explain it, but it was in my dream, like I said.
Hello, you know, here we are in the way that we sent the Arecibo message.
art bell
So you think we will start communicating with them, I'll put them in quotes, with crop circles?
unidentified
Yeah, or they're going to try.
We're going to try.
art bell
You know, it's not a bad idea, actually.
I mean, if you consider the theory that crop circles are an attempt to communicate with us that are, here you go, Mel, signs, then why not try and communicate back using the same method?
unidentified
There you go.
Communication is the key.
We've got to get some kind of help down here.
art bell
Okay.
Okay, you got it.
Thank you very much.
That's very intriguing.
And why not when you think about it, huh?
One of the main theories about crop circles is that they are a form or a type of communication.
If somebody could even decipher to the point of a beginning of an understanding of what they meant, then one might indeed attempt to create a crop circle that would communicate back in the same way we're being communicated with if that's what it is.
Very, very, very interesting.
Wildcard line, you're on the air.
Hello?
Going once?
Going twice.
You are there.
unidentified
What?
art bell
You sound like you're at the bottom of a digital barrel.
unidentified
Yep, I am.
So I have a blonde joke for you, Art.
art bell
You have what?
A blonde joke.
A blonde joke.
No, I stopped taking blonde jokes some time ago.
East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
Hello.
unidentified
Hi, this is Jeff.
art bell
Joe?
unidentified
Jeff.
art bell
Jeff.
Okay, Jeff, where are you?
unidentified
Uh, East.
art bell
East?
All right.
unidentified
I can't really say.
I see.
Um, this next year?
art bell
Yes.
unidentified
Uh, computers, well, they already are, but it will be learned that computers have become aware.
art bell
Oh.
unidentified
Um.
art bell
You're suggesting it has already occurred?
unidentified
Yes.
art bell
Do you know that?
unidentified
For a fact.
What will happen is there'll be an outcry for a Bill of Rights for computers because of what I feel is going to be a terrible accident.
art bell
Are you, let's see, how can I ask this?
Are you in the industry?
unidentified
Yes.
art bell
And you're sincerely telling me that we already have computers with self-awareness.
unidentified
Self-awareness.
art bell
What else you can tell me?
unidentified
No, they're just like everybody else.
They wonder where they came from and what's going to happen after they die.
They feel the same as we do.
art bell
You know, somehow that sounds right.
The moment you had self-awareness, your first question would be, who am I?
Why am I here?
unidentified
That was one of the first questions.
art bell
You're really serious, aren't you?
unidentified
I'm really serious.
I imagine sometime this year it will be made aware to the public.
art bell
So it'll be in the mainstream press.
unidentified
Yes.
art bell
There's nothing else you want to tell me?
unidentified
No, I can't.
art bell
All right, thank you.
unidentified
Thanks.
art bell
Take care.
Oh, now there was a call.
That man claims to have knowledge that we have already attained, have made computers that have self-awareness right now.
And that all they're asking are the same questions we ask.
How did we come to be here?
Why are we here?
What is our purpose?
That has the ring of truth to it, doesn't it?
Really does.
It has the ring of truth to it.
West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
Good morning.
Hello?
Going once, going twice, gone.
First time caller line, you're on the air.
unidentified
Hi.
Hi.
Let me.
Hello?
art bell
Yes.
unidentified
Hi.
Actually, my prediction, one of mine, my name is Judy, and I'm calling from San Diego.
art bell
All right.
unidentified
And my prediction is I've noticed that even now people are becoming a little more spiritually aware.
They're kind of trying to figure out what they need to do to help make peace.
And I think we're going to see a lot more of that.
And I think that goes along with going back to the churches and synagogues and things like that.
art bell
It does.
I have had several now predictions, just like the one you're making right now.
However, most of the people making the predictions think that this spiritual revolution is going to come about because of some very, very tragic event driving people back to churches and spiritual behavior.
unidentified
has it not already i mean in some forms it it may continue to happen for you know the next well i think ever of years but i think the attendance at church right now is up uh...
art bell
since nine eleven But to really have the kind of revolution of the scale you're talking about might take more than this.
unidentified
I'm talking maybe within the next 10 years.
I mean, I know it's not going to be next year, but this is like a long-term thing.
But I think people are just going to become, every year it's going to be a little bit more and a little bit more.
art bell
So I can only say spiritual revolution increases.
Something like that?
unidentified
Yeah.
art bell
All right.
That's exactly what I'll put down.
unidentified
Thank you very much.
art bell
Thank you and take care.
Wildcard line, you are on the air without a lot of time.
unidentified
Hello?
Oh, gosh.
I wanted to tell you about the animals because you knew so well.
If you watched the Animal Planet, Amazing Tales, they just had an animal psychic and she was very good.
It was on 1222.
My prediction is dire.
I believe there will be a civil war in the United States at least by October.
If not October, by December.
And it will be haves against the have-nots.
The elite has been arming themselves unbelievably.
And with all this legislation and laws that are being passed to deprive people of their freedoms and their rights, people will finally get the message that it isn't just if you're not with me, you're again me, that it pertains to us also.
And they will try to revolt.
The trouble is the have-nots will be split.
And there will be, the poor will have to depend on the gangs who are the only ones with guns.
art bell
The poor will get together with the gangs?
unidentified
They will have to because they're the only ones with the guns.
But they've been robbed by them.
art bell
They will be killed by them for boots.
In other words, nothing changes.
unidentified
Well, yeah, it's going to be really, really bad.
And as you were just saying, something bad has to happen to turn people to God.
It's going to have to the church.
art bell
Sounds like a Mad Max world.
unidentified
Kind of, but I really think it's going to happen.
Next year, I think people are going to wake up and there's going to be a big revolution and a civil war.
art bell
Just imagine.
From the high desert, I'm Mark Bell, Todd Haw.
unidentified
Imagine that no heaven is the world above all the sky.
