Art Bell’s 2004 Coast to Coast AM predictions show—amid calls on Saddam Hussein’s assassination (pre-execution), China’s moon landing, and a "nuclear-proportion" Bering Strait blast—highlights gold-plated tungsten coins, a Paris dirty bomb, and Bigfoot’s highway collision. Callers also warn of January/February terror surges, Arctic-linked disasters, and a UN collapse, while Bell dismisses televised executions and political chaos. Some tie events to biblical themes (e.g., "mark of the beast" via microchips) or corporate greed, though Bell questions systemic fixes. The episode blends fringe theories with plausible geopolitical risks, framing 2004 as a year where conspiracy and reality may collide unpredictably. [Automatically generated summary]
Now, just in case you missed one of the prior programs in which I beseeched you to not treat these predictions that we're going to do tonight, Wednesday night, during open lines, I might add.
Open lines for anything you want to talk about, but we are going to do predictions.
Now, this is the only place and time when you can make an official coast-to-coast AM prediction, which then, when we're done on Wednesday, will go back into the Bell family vault for another year.
Now, I've asked that you not just take something right off the top of your head, but that instead you think it through a little bit.
Take a little bit of time, even now if you must, turn the show off, you know, whatever.
And take a couple of minutes and just let your mind relax completely and go as blank as possible.
A shorter trip for some than others.
And try to manifest in your mind something that you can see or feel is going to occur in the year 2004, some large event.
Now, the only thing I don't want predictions on and will not accept predictions on are assassinations of presidential figures.
U.S. presidential figures.
That gets me in trouble.
So, you know, somebody will knock on my door and I'll say, hello, sir.
That's a nice gun you have there, both of you.
And they'll come in and they'll have a talk with me and I'll say, but it's just a radio program.
And they'll say, but it's the president.
So let's have some more details here.
No, sir, I don't know who did it.
It was number 64, sir.
That's all I know.
And, you know, we'll have that kind of conversation.
And so to avoid that, I will not take predictions of any presidential assassinations.
That's the only rule that we live with on this program.
I mean, aside from the normal, don't use bad language and all that baloney.
It's open lines, unscreened, untapped, unknown, truly unknown.
And all of that coming up in a moment.
First, looking at the news, wouldn't it be nice if just once you picked up the Associated Press news or the Reuters news or whatever, and it just said, you know, we've searched high and wide and we can't find any bad news today.
Nobody seems to have died in Iraq.
There were no earthquakes.
Nothing really much happened today.
And so here are the sports scores.
But alas, it's never that way.
Meat from a Holstein sick with mad cow disease, that tops the list, could have reached retail markets in eight states and one territory, but still poses no health risk, according to the agricultural department.
I chuckle because every time they say there's no health risk, look out.
Dr. Kenneth Peterson, an agricultural department veterinarian, said investigators have determined that some of the meat from the diseased dairy cows slaughtered December 9th in Washington State could have gone to Alaska, Hawaii, Idaho and Montana, and Guam.
Look out out there, Guam.
Earlier, officials had said most of the meat went to Washington and Oregon, with lesser amounts going to California and my state, Nevada.
So now it looks like they may have changed their minds.
At any rate, that's certainly not good news.
Roadside bombs in separate guerrilla attacks killed two U.S. soldiers and two Iraqi children on Sunday.
Two children, including an explosion that went off in a densely populated part of Baghdad.
In Bam, Iran, hopes of finding any more earthquake survivors in the ancient city of Bam are fading fast.
There may be more than 20,000 dead.
They really have no idea right now.
They have no idea how many are dead.
That city made of mud and brick just came down on top of everybody very early in the morning before anybody would have been out of bed for the most part and just crushed people instantly where they were.
A horrible tragedy.
Horrible.
At any rate, that's the kind of news you do get when you read it.
Well, if he gets what he wants, which is a picture from this new mission, assuming it succeeds at all, and that's quite an assumption, then surely we will find out.
But, you know, I'm kind of with you on this.
In other words, if I look at it and I say, sorry, Richard, cat box, he's going to say, oh no, but look at the lines up north and this stuff down on the southern face here.
unidentified
You have to remember the way the mason was.
It was taken from this angle and we need it from this angle instead.
A number of things on Richard's behalf, a number of the things that the guy has predicted about Mars and about the planets of Jupiter and stuff like that, it's come true.
You know, stuff that was outrageous, like, you know, water and all the rest of it, he was right about that stuff.
So there you have why I don't blow off Richard C. Hoagland.
unidentified
Well, I find sometimes he is just totally irritating.
But it comes, this irritation that you feel comes from the passion that Richard puts forth in what he does.
I mean, he is a true believer.
Don't you doubt it for one second.
Richard believes absolutely what he's saying, and you can't blow the guy off.
You just can't because he's been right about too many things.
So as much of a wild man as he may be, and that's considerable, he's got so much dedication and so much passion, and nobody else, nobody else is doing what Richard is doing.
Nobody.
So irritating as he may be, we continue to have him on because he is the one who is out on a scientific limb with regard to Mars.
Wouldn't it be better to invade North Korea before they detonate their first nuke?
unidentified
Well, you know, it would.
But at the same time, I think President Bush is going to want to have, because he's going to be re-elected, he's going to want to have a reason to invade.
And so I think he's going to let them do their test.
Well, maybe this will be the year that the Pope passes away, but he is an amazing man.
You can will yourself to live, as I believe you can will yourself to die.
And I think a lot of doctors, regular physicians, would agree with that position, that you can will yourself to live.
I mean, even if the body is giving out, the liver is going, the lungs are going, whatever it is that's finally giving out, and we all do at the end, right?
You can literally use the power of your mind to keep your organs functioning past a time when they should have.
everyone's going to be well aware of that we're not alone this year, why not stick your neck out a little further if you really want to predict that and tell me in what form you think contact will occur?
unidentified
I think everyone is going to see a firework display of alien life form in the sky.
Like, whether it be a mothership the size of the one in Independence Day, let's say.
I mean, if there were that kind of a display in our skies, people would have heart attacks, they'd fall over dead, other people would run and get shotguns and shoot at the thing.
unidentified
Well, I think the people that couldn't handle it are the people that are not evolved enough to inherit this planet.
We're doing predictions for 2004 from the high desert in the middle of the night.

The only thing is, you know, if there had been, and I said this, someone the other night, if there had been an ancient civilization that achieved space travel, you know, something that magnificent, right?
If they were making metal products and things that would last, I don't know, they say that the little plastic things that come with a six-pack of whatever, they'll last forever.
unidentified
Well, you know, you've had guests on that have put forth evidence of things that are totally out of place, technologies that weren't supposed to be there when these things were supposedly created.
That's true.
These things are already out there.
It's just, I don't think it's in that irrefutable proof.
Here it is.
This is it.
Accept it.
And it's going to change the way everybody thinks.
Well, one reason it would change the way everybody thinks would be that there have, you know, that would be proof that, yes, humans walked on Earth or, you know, beings walked on Earth before, perhaps many times, but certainly at least once.
And that means mass extinctions can happen and do happen.
And so our time may be limited.
unidentified
Well, you know, 2012, it could be the next time.
It sure seems like there's a lot of evidence pointing that way.
Well, I'm open to the prospect that there could have been beings on this planet that developed and, you know, went away, got hit by a rock, whatever, had the sun belch at them.
There could be many possibilities, but I'm a guy who needs proof, and I thought that's where last night's guest fell down a little bit.
When I finally got him to answer the question, the answer is there is no proof.
There is not one shred of physical proof that there was a civilized world that existed prior to the one that we know we live in now.
You know, if it gets too much electromagnetic or it's set, you know, there was a program called Planet Storm, which I saw on Discovery HD, you know, in high definition.
I watch a lot of Discovery these days because it's in high definition.
And they did this thing on the sun.
And they plainly said at the end, we have no idea how large a flare could occur.
We have no idea what's occurring.
Our magnetic field is weakening.
It is possible, they admitted during that show, that there could be a strike from the sun that would virtually sterilize the entire Earth.
unidentified
I agree.
I lit up when I heard that.
I said, that is another clue.
That's another sign.
That makes a lot of sense from what's happening today.
John Lear, by the way, claims that Whitley Streeber told him that.
unidentified
Well, I heard a man a few years back tell a story that he was in a crash, and he was on the other side, and he saw this bright light, and he started to go towards it, but he heard his wife call, and something said, don't go near there.
And he didn't go.
And he said, Hattie.
And he said, Hattie, he wouldn't have been, he's alive today.
But what if your wife wasn't there to yell at you from the other side of the world?
Well, man.
unidentified
But, you know, it makes, I thought, okay, because most of the people that I've talked with that have been with their loved ones when they're dying, there's always someone there or they saw someone that they smiled.
And it was like a mostly, everyone's like a peaceful.
And then later, he said, Well, you know, Whitley Streeber told me that, and I went to Whitley and Whitley said, Oh, you know, I don't remember saying that.
So, I don't know, but it haunted me.
Ever since John said that to me, it has preyed on my mind like a bad dream.
Is it really like partying most of the time in New Orleans?
unidentified
You can.
I have friends in New York that say eventually they shut it down, but down here they fight to stay up.
Even if it's the dinkiest bar on Bourbon Street, you'll find everyone heading towards that one once 5 o'clock runs around because we've still got to stay up there.
You're only allowed one prediction now, so don't launch into more than one.
unidentified
Okay, well, this is how I got to my prediction.
It was the morning that the earthquake happened in Iran, and I was on MSNBC.
Yes.
And they mentioned that the Eagle 2 didn't land yet.
And the lady anchor, she says, you know, there's some conspiracy theorists out there and astrologists that believe our human race actually came from Mars and that they have structures there and stuff.
And the male anchor looked over, and he said, you've got to be kidding me.
And she said, no, you've got to stay up late at night and listen to the radio to hear stuff like that.
That is about as big a plug you can get without actually having your name mentioned.
It will not be something so great that the mainstream, the daytime news, gets a hold of it, but it will be something that will point a finger or a direction towards the coast to coast to where coast to coast will be mentioned more in the mainstream.
It's something I never heard of until I started listening to you.
And that first time on MSNBC is the first time I actually even heard it talked about in a passive way.
And I do believe that something will happen to where something maybe that happens on your program, something that somebody mentions that will break.
And the guy that said you might be working more, if something that major happened and they needed someone from Coast to Coast to go on the Today Show and all that, you would find yourself working more in the upcoming year.
So it almost pretty much verified the only thing that I could come across my mind as a prediction is that something will happen to where Coast to Coast will break to where it will have more people listening.
That something that we've talked about very heavily on this program suddenly becomes mass media news.
And the Mass Media for a Change does connect what we have said or done or one of the interviews we've done here with something that actually occurs.
Well, guess what?
That's really already happening.
It's just that they won't make note of it.
For example, the increased storms, the radical weather change that's underway, which some years ago the mainstream media had a chance to chuckle about at my expense and that of Whitley's as well.
Well, they chuckle no more, of course.
But they also do not note that we've been talking about that for quite some number of years here.
Well, I can't write down a whole lot of stuff, so just give me the sort of the central core of it here.
unidentified
The terrorist slash war that's going on in the Middle East is going to get out of control As to where all our troops are going to be focused in that area.
And my prediction is the North Koreans, together with the Chinese, are going to either bomb or invade a U.S. territory or an actual state of the United States after the influx of military personnel and National Guard are sent to the Middle East region.
I think that won't happen because any nation on the face of the earth knows that if they were to actually, as a nation, attack, let's say, California, for example, the Chinese attack California, we would respond with nuclear weapons.
And we would blow their butts off the face of the earth.
And that's what I think will prevent that from occurring.
The MIDI spinning out of control, that could very easily occur, I'm afraid.
Thank you very much for the call and the dire prediction.
I think the first part of it's more likely than the Middle East spinning completely out of control with us in Iraq.
Sure.
That could easily occur right now.
The world's terrorist organizations are streaming people into Iraq as quickly as they can get them there.
Which is good and bad.
Bad because it's resulting in a continual stream of U.S. soldiers being killed.
Good because we get them all in one spot.
In other words, they stream in from Afghanistan and I'm sure Iran and Syria and no matter where, you know, they're just coming in fast as they can and they're going after U.S. servicemen.
The good side of it is we get, I guess, target practice would be a cruel word, wouldn't it?
I predict that this song, which I'm so enamored with, will be used on future episodes soon to begin of that incredible program on Showtime called Dead Like Me.
If you haven't watched that when it comes back on, do it.
It's really a cool program.
They've used this song on two or three episodes of it, actually.
And while I'm not given to wanting to be on TV at all, I would be honored to have my soul snatched by George.
I really would.
That's a very cool show.
Check it out.
It's on Joe Time Fix starting up again in January or something.
I'll tell you this: I think the two people who made the predictions about artifacts on Mars being discovered, whether it's us or the British or whoever, are dead on the money.
Whether it'll be the year 2004 or not, I don't know.
But I do think those predictions will ultimately be dead on the money.
It's better, but all those things ought to be put in one place and a bomb should be set off under them.
But go ahead.
unidentified
I predict that on your show, through the use of you, that it will be revealed to the world that there are advanced humans in just about every area of science that exist and throughout their lives chose not to reveal that and chose to do work privately which they could fund.
And at some point this year, I think one or two or perhaps several of them would come forward and reveal their existence on your show.
I know the whole thing is pretty weird, but even so, and I know I shouldn't say this because we are the United States and we don't kill rulers of other countries.
But I thought surely when we found him, there would be some sort of standing secret order that he should trip, you know, and probably hit the wall or some metal object real hard.
A situation, perhaps, like the Oswald situation, right?
Can Saddam really be allowed to live?
Well, I guess.
A trial?
Maybe.
But honestly, I admit, surprise to you, and that may show you the shape of my somewhat twisted mind.
And it is a little bit that way after all these years.
Surely a lot of you also probably felt as I did feel at the time, and that was that we wouldn't let him come out alive.
That there probably would be a fight, and at the very least, you know, he'd be shot or he'd run into something or have an unfortunate something or another happen to him, but he wouldn't end up alive and captured.
Well, I believe it will be one type of currency that will be for domestic economic transactions and a second type for the international balance of payments.
Over the year, we had two major setbacks that I think are related to our excessive spending with regard to our wars around the globe.
And that would be one, we've lost between 35 and 40 percent of the U.S. dollar against the EU currency over the last 18 months.
And the fact that in September and October, the negotiations with China over the U.S. dollar in the WA floating one currency against the balance of payments of another failed.
So I think we're going to see that and what it will mean is that we'll have basically two separate currencies, one for international balance of payments and transactions between corporations and nations, and one for the domestic savings and the money supply.
And they'll be able to be controlled very easily.
And sadly, another thing that happened in the last two weeks that I'm concerned about is the fact that the U.S. citizens having the right to own gold under the Patriot Act now, we have our John Ashcroft and also Tom Ridge now authorized to look into all of the gold transactions, the buying and selling of gold domestically in the United States.
I have seen all rumors and emails about gold, and there was some I'm not saying in the mass media there's been any word that U.S. citizens, again, would not be allowed to own gold, but there's some rumbling, you know, what's the right word?
There's rumbles going on on the internet about that sort of thing.
So I guess they are looking at something related.
And a dual currency, one to meet domestic demands and one to service foreign, is a very, very interesting idea.
You think they're all going the way of the Beagle and so many others?
unidentified
Well, I was listening to your Hoagland recap from the other night on Streamlink, and something from the Bible came to me about the angel at the Garden of Eden blocking the entrance for man to ever return again.
What we talked about last night with regard to the Chinese, I don't know if they'll have 100,000 Chinese wandering around on the moon or something, or even in space.
I would tend not to think that one would come true.
But the Chinese making it to the moon, yes, perhaps so.
They are driving their space program right now like a Mac truck, baby.
They're pouring a lot of money into it.
They've got a lot of Chinese, rather Russian hardware that they're buying and duplicating and improving.
And they have their mind set, their Chinese minds, on going to the moon and occupying space.
So we're back in the race again.
I mean, you've got to look at it that way.
And the U.S. administration has got to look at it that way.
Before, we never had the Chinese to worry about.
We had the Russians.
And, well, when the Cold War was going on, the race was good for space.
And it was good for the American space effort because it gave us motivation.
If for no other reason than, by God, we're going to beat the Ruskies, right?
And we did.
And then our competition went away.
So now we're going to get new competition, the Chinese.
And I think that will be grand for our space program.
It has a lot to do with why the president's about to make an announcement about a U.S. space goal.
I wanted to make a prediction on what a politician will do in 2004 as far as proposing legislation to Congress to televise the execution of Osama bin Laden if he is captured and sentenced to death.
We actually have politically considered televising executions in the past, and they've always ruled against it.
However, this caller could be on to something.
Bin Laden is generally accepted to be the person in power, except by a few, who was responsible for everything that happened when those airplanes were pointed.
And so all of America could, in a sense, be, I think, fairly judged to have a particular interest in seeing that execution.
That might be the first televised execution in all history.
and i'll tell you exactly why to it's because As Saddam potentially has a lot of really embarrassing things that he could say about us.
He could get in front of some tribunal, whether it would be in Geneva or ends up being where it ought to be in Iraq.
And frankly, he could say, you know, an awful lot of what I did, I did because of what the United States gave me back during the times when I was having a war with Iraq.
And I also, by the way, invaded Kuwait only after the United States sent word through a lower-level political person of some sort that it would really be okay that we'd wink and nod should I invade.
And so that's why I did.
I mean, there's a lot of embarrassing things that Saddam Hussein Could potentially say in a trial.
Very embarrassing.
And so I'm surprised that his health seems.
Of course, now he's with our CIA at the moment, and they're asking him really hard questions, probably with prejudice.
More and more people are actually turning to cell phones now as their only phone.
unidentified
Yes.
I predict that there will be a volcanic eruption in Yellowstone this year, but I don't think it's going to be the massive eruption that everybody's thinking is going to be soon.
You, no doubt, tooling down the highway, had lots of time to quiet your mind and think.
What have you come up with?
unidentified
Well, I believe after the miserable failure of these Mars probes that are going to Mars, what's going to happen is Lawrence Livermore Labs out in California is going to announce that they've developed the new like a kinetic hydrogen drive that will allow the space-time flight to Mars to be limited to about three weeks as opposed to the six to eight months it is now.
But anyway, so that would be one heck of a new drive system.
Overdrive, actually.
All right.
Excellent.
Thank you very much.
And it is prediction number 21.
And of course, that's possible, that it is indeed possible that one of these days we'll come up with a different way other than Nozzles and conventional hard fuel or liquid fuel or whatever in the hell we use today.
There's got to be a better way, and there's going to have to be a way to get up near the speed of light, or perhaps even fool everybody and fool the speed of light.
And I specifically chose that word, fool the speed of light, and learn how to travel great distances like that.
It will happen.
Either that or we won't be going much of anywhere.
If by chance we got him alive, let's say some horrid accident happened and we got him alive, would they televise the execution, as a previous caller suggested?
unidentified
No way.
That would be a political disaster for any George Bush who will be re-elected, much to my chagrin.
So I'm just saying, January 14th, I feel like something is going to happen that will create a moment of clarity, sort of like 9-11 did for the country.
Yeah, you know, I also kind of agree with the guy who called and said about the January 14th thing, but I also feel that it's going to be a little more having to do with the nature aspect, like how we've been having the earthquakes in like California and Iran.
I don't believe that it's going to stay like localized there.
I believe that the earthquakes and like bad weather and stuff might just come to us a little more heavy than we think.
Do you think earthquake, I mean, do you want to pin it down at all?
unidentified
Yeah, you know, like, I mean, I feel like both of those things, like, that's what comes to me with my prediction is like, I feel with the earth, you know, and like the nature aspect, like, the earthquakes are just going to get more rapid.
And then I also feel with like the people aspect with like the Saddam and his followers are going to get more agitated and they're going to start retaliating more.
You know, like all within like the next month.
I just feel like our world is about to be turned upside down.
Well, you know, I think what got my attention more than anything else during the year, we had two images up on the website of the North Pole, of the entire Arctic, actually.
I think, you know, we might be headed in that kind of direction if, you know, we all don't open our eyes now and maybe start realizing what's really going on.
Well, yeah, but your prediction is one of those things where if nothing happens, you can go, we took the right road.
unidentified
Uh-huh.
Well, that's because, well, for example, like for changes, it could be things that are above us, like atmosphere, weather, space, anything, or things that are on the ground even.
The implication is that we could do something to change it.
I mean, if it's as massive as something from space, like a big rock or weather changes that are happening, you really think that's in our control to change?
unidentified
It's going to depend on people's attitudes, how they look at things, the ethics of some things.
Yes, and I'm predicting in, not really predicting, but I'm more or less saying that in the year 2004, more people are going to be coming out, and you're even going to see on the news people have actually got abducted by UFOs.
So the mainstream news begins to report abductions.
unidentified
Yes.
And this is not a cover-up, and it's going to be where it's going to start coming out.
And Ripley and Richard are really going to be busy, and so aren't these chat lines on the internet.
Because I feel that this is going to happen, because for three days, when Iran, California, and other areas have earthquakes as well, I get these really bad headaches.
And I knew that California and Iran was going to have an earthquake.
And I'd just like to dive a little bit more into it because during Christmas dinner with a fellow American that's a part of our family, we were speaking about this, and I had a prediction, and I said that Osama, I believe that people in America, well, the president knows where Osama is.
Because you know how his name was kind of dragged in the mud a little bit, you know, from some people about the whole war and, you know, going in, you know, for weapons of mass destruction and they didn't really find many.
Do you know what I mean?
And then all of a sudden, Saddam is caught, you know, right after his name was kind of being dragged in the mud a bit.
And I believe that after his reelection, Osama will be caught and he will be alive.
If you believe that, let me extend the question that somebody else came up with, which I thought was a good one.
If we did catch him alive and he was tried, Would that be the first worldwide televised execution?
unidentified
I believe that if that were, I mean, I forget who had just called in, and he sort of laughed it off and said, yeah, you know, a lot of world leaders would get upset with that.
A lot of leaders, it would cause, you know, chaos.
I think that Ariel Trump is going to invade Palestine with a massive assault because of the terrorist bombings, and you're going to see Yasser Arafat assassinated during that assault.
And that is going to cause a eruption in the Arab world.
I think this summer, around August or sometime, we're going to, all along the West Coast, we're going to get a bad heat wave that's going to cause a lot of deaths all along the west coast.
I think because a lot of the fires and stuff, you know, it's really exposed a lot of areas, and maybe, you know, it's letting a lot of the pollution that we've already have in here is going to expand a lot more.
I would have been with you if Saddam Hussein somehow hadn't made it alive.
Because Saddam could potentially, I was saying this earlier, you must have heard me.
He could say a lot of embarrassing things about stuff that we did, you know, back when Iran and Iraq were at war, stuff we gave him, intelligence we gave him.
He'll rail and spin about the Kuwait invasion and all the rest of it.
I mean, he's going to say a lot of stuff that President Bush is not going to like, you know, if he ever gets to a trial.
And so I figured, boy, there's no way this guy's going to get caught alive.
And sure enough, he's yanked up out of some stupid hole.
So if Saddam Hussein's alive, Bin Laden might be taken alive, too.
unidentified
I can't see that happening because I'm sure the secrets that he could reveal are a lot more devastating than the blows that Saddam could ever lay out.
I get emails like that all the time, and I always go, oh, my.
You know, there's a lot of things that I'm willing to consider, and I try to be pretty open-minded about most everything, but I still have this stubborn, hardcore faith in the United States and misplaced probably, right?
The President of the United States, whether I like him at the moment or not.
I have this silly feeling that most men, when they find themselves suddenly in the highest office, do what's right for America and don't plot and plan against and kill their own citizens.
I'm old-fashioned that way, but so I go, oh my.
You see, I don't really believe that stuff, and I would rather not have my illusions shattered.
I believe we're going to see awakening with spiritual reality.
In other words, I believe that we're going to see people getting close to God because I believe that this year coming up, the United States will release a lot of stuff about U.S. also, life at the death, or things we didn't know before.
And I think, especially over there where the Pope lives, I think the Pope is black on the naked this year.
I think we're going to see giants that far religious circles pass on.
Something of such a magnitude That it would produce a spiritual awakening in the American people.
That certainly could occur, and to some degree did occur with 9-11.
There was a big increase in church attendance.
Did you know that?
After 9-11?
But I, again, am certainly unwilling to go far enough to be with anybody who suggests that our own president, our own country, had something to do with knocking down those buildings.
I guess I'm not going to believe that.
Perhaps a spiritual awakening in 2004.
Before what happened in New York happened, I would have said no, but one never knows now.
And, you know, I want to say right now, Madman Markham, Dr. David Anderson, and there's one other person that I've interviewed, but those two people are both in the world of the disappeared.
I mean, I'm serious.
Dr. David Anderson, I have turned over rocks trying to find Dr. David Anderson.
He was a serious scientist involved in time experiments.
And I'll tell you, baby, he's gone.
I'm serious.
He's gone.
His business, his home, he's not reachable at any of the numbers.
All right, I think the new or the next Pope, the next vicar of Christ, he won't be necessarily evil, but I think he'll have a lot of controversy around him considering two things, UFOs and his ties to the Freemason community.
The End By the way, with the next prediction we take, we will have taken as many already tonight as we took for the entire year of 2003, which was diverted because I was the last program, you recall, December 31st.
And then I was going to retire for the second or third time.
So let's look at a few of these, shall we?
Number five was that the war in Iraq would be delayed.
Well, delayed from that point, delayed ultimately.
No, I'm going to bonk that.
Bonk.
Number six, that China launches a manned spaceflight.
Well, you know, really from a technology standpoint, I really see the mark of the beast being implicated more this year than any other because we are becoming so technologically advanced that I do see the mark of the beast starting in this year.
But it also would have to get to the point where there would be no choice, where ultimately everybody would either have the mark, or the chip in this case, or they would not be able to function, couldn't go to 7-Eleven, couldn't go to the grocery store, couldn't live without the mark.
unidentified
Well, yeah, well, okay, we'll have this as a slight comparison.
For the company I work for, I won't mention names, the company I work for, they forced us all to direct deposit.
You can, but they prefer you to have direct deposit, or they will give you, if you don't have a bank account, they will provide you with a card, like a debit card, that your whole paycheck goes to that you can go to an ATM and withdraw all your money.
Wh when they come to you and say, look, sir, it's nothing.
We'll even give you a little shot of no cane.
Here we go.
And now we'll just put this scalpel down here and we'll just slice you just a little slice and we'll drop in this thing that looks like a little piece of pepper.
And that's all there is to it.
And so are you going to take yours?
unidentified
No, I, you know, hey, I live in Montana.
I will go to the mountains.
Whatever happens to me happens to me, but I will not take it.
And in the manner that he just described, it is a little unnerving.
Now, first, you have to believe that such a chip would mean the Mark of the Beast, although when you think about it and what it would do, hmm, it does seem that way.
And so what's going on right now, for a lot of people, you must understand, it's very unnerving.
When they see news reports of people passing their hand over the reader, the hair goes up on the back of their neck, and maybe with good cause.
More than likely, if it's going to be an explosion, if not, it's going to be If you're a terrorist, why are you more interested in bringing down the UN than you are in, I don't know, getting the White House or the Pentagon or a Statue of Liberty or, you know, something like that?
Why the UN over a big U.S. target of some other sort?
unidentified
Because the UN is ineffective right now, and they seem to be stirring up more crap than they're fixing.
And to have an organization that would be, or to join an organization that's more Middle Eastern-oriented might benefit them more.
I have to disagree with some of your callers on I don't see anything happening at all in Israel blaming the Jews for everything or using them as their excuse, but I do see a dirty bomb.
how they were even obstructionist with regard to our effort uh...
unidentified
in iraq so why would they But I do believe that if this does happen, I'd like to preface it by saying I hope it doesn't happen, but I do believe that they will retaliate.
And I do believe that they will destroy the holy mosque in Rihad, Saudi Arabia.
Basically, the dirty bomb in Paris is what I'm putting down here.
You know, I would like to discuss with you a little bit of what I've heard about a dirty bomb, because there is probably a high probability that there is a high probability that a dirty bomb will go off in a U.S. city.
It may not be the reason for panic that people will make it.
I mean, that's worth digesting right now.
From what I've heard, a dirty bomb would be more psychologically effective than it would be in actually killing anybody.
There would be a small radius indeed, if what I've heard is correct, a small radius indeed where anybody might get enough radiation to actually get killed.
This would be a psychological zinger, but not so much a killer, according to what I've read.
And the people I've talked to, these people could be wrong, but I don't think so.
What they say makes sense with regard to TNT-propelled plutonium or whatever it is they get their hands on.
So, you know, if you hear of a dirty bomb going off, you're going to want to do a little research.
It may not be the catastrophic event it sounds like.
It just, you know, we've had, I've been here since 88.
We did fill the Northridge quake down here pretty good.
You know, it wasn't as devastating as it was up there, but we still had damage out here.
But I think with all the earthquakes that have been happening in the recent years up around in the California area, I think that it's almost time for the San Andreas to go.
There was, I'll tell you, just a few years ago, there was a 7.3, sir, that was not all that far from me.
It was out in the California desert.
I don't know whether you remember that one or not.
It was out in the middle of nowhere, but it was close enough to somewhere, as in right here, that, boy, I'll tell you what, we rocked and we rolled big time.
unidentified
Wasn't it that, I think it was in Joshua Tree, wasn't it?
And then don't forget, part two of this, if you didn't make it in, comes up on Wednesday at the turn of the year, where we do that many more hours of predictions.
It's going to be a very good year, or actually based on the predictions we've received so far, it may be a very bad year.
Well, there is, of course, always the possibility that something tragic can occur.
And there is a lot of that sort of industry in that area.
That's true.
unidentified
A lot of old plants that aren't being maintained properly.
I also predict, and I only allow one, but I think food prices are going to go up, and I think that we're going to see a significant turnover to vegan diets.
I think people are going to start to understand the health effects of it, the environmental effects of eating animals, the moral impact of it, how it leads to violence, domestic violence, abuse.
Well, now, look, when several thousands of your citizens die because buildings come down in Manhattan, New York, what is it you do?
unidentified
Well, I think that we need to look further and understand why such events happen.
I think we need to understand that turning people into commodities and turning food into a commodity instead of a human right can lead to such events.
When we don't treat people right around the world, when we exploit people and all of their resources all over the world, such things are going to happen.
Yeah, I think it's the greed, and I think it's the way we're exploiting people, and the environment, and the way we exploit animals and treat them like objects, and the fact that we don't really have much compassion in this world.
really good really but remember where it's all known on a moment when you're going on a little no no no no no no no no no you missed what i was going to say I mean, we have freedom.
We have honest to God freedom.
Now, I know you can get down and argue some points, but compared to other countries, and baby, I've been in a lot of them, we've got freedom, and that's a biggie.
unidentified
Yeah, but we're also exploiting people all over the world in order to maintain this lifestyle.
We may have a few national karmic problems, but not on the scale you're talking about.
unidentified
Well, I think it's enormous.
I think we're destroying the Earth.
I think we're in the age of extinction.
I think right now we're in the sixth great extinction on the planet, and it's caused by human beings.
We're doing it by the way we treat the Earth, by the way we treat the environment, by the way we just suck resources out of the ground, the way we're mining the living biosphere, and we're not allowing it to recuperate.
We're taking it faster than it can grow back.
We're destroying it.
And in the process, we're going to destroy ourselves if we don't change.
I mean, there's every possibility that there's cellular-level life on Mars.
Every possibility.
And your husband thinks we're going to send a probe there and we're going to get some of it, bring it back here, and it's going to come down like the 1918 flu or worse.
unidentified
Worse, yeah.
Because he doesn't think that we'll have any defenses against anything that we're going to do.
Well, let me just say real quick, I've been studying this subject for a couple of years now, and I believe I might have found something that may point in what our near future may hold.
And I'm not a religious man by any means, but I study the Bible, Revelations, and I believe starting at chapter 6, it describes the opening of seven seals.
Now, we're going to have to shorten this up a little bit before we get to be reading the Bible here.
Right, I'll try and make it real quick.
Don't read to me at all.
Are you telling me the seven seals are going to be opened rapidly?
unidentified
Well, sir, I actually believe that four of them have already been opened.
We're going through the process right now of opening the fifth.
And as soon as Saddam Hussein, Osama bin Laden, and as it says in the Bible, their fellow servants and their brethren that should be killed, this should be fulfilled.
We're about to be reading a page or two of the Bible there.
Well, the seven seals being opened, that we are at number five right now.
And I do suppose that it could be interpreted that way by somebody who reads the Bible, that some number of things have already occurred that would lead them to believe that.
Your prediction, should you make it, will be number 46.
unidentified
Let's see here.
I've been giving this a lot of thought, and I still think that if George Bush's numbers go down to a certain point, that they're going to magically find where those weapons of mass destruction went to from Iraq.
I think they're over there, and I think they're across the border in Syria.
And reason being is he had an awful long time to get rid of that stuff before George moved in on him.
Suppose we got really good, hard, clear intelligence that there were masses of weapons of mass destruction that, in fact, had gone to Syria and are in Syria now.
What do you think the President of the United States would order with regard to action on that level?
Suppose we actually got Saddam and twisted his thumb to the left enough, so he told us they were in Syria.
What would we as a nation then do?
Would we attack Syria?
Would we demand they be turned over or else what?
unidentified
Well, I think we'd have to go and dig them up and prove to the world that they're there.
Well, it's already awfully expensive up there, anyway, isn't it?
unidentified
Yeah, it's right now today it's about 67 cents a liter.
It takes about four of our liters for your gallon, which puts it at $2.68 Canadian, and at about 30 cents on the dollar, it would be about $1.87, $1.88 U.S. Well, that's about what we pay here right now.
Well, I think if there is not some sort of blockade of the Straits of Vormuz or whatever that would stop the oil and then be an obvious reason for the people to say, okay, I understand why it's doubling.
If there's something of the magnitude of a blockade, people would accept it, and they'd know that we'd make military moves to unblockade it or do what we had to do.
But just doubling it, I'll tell you one thing, it would ruin our joint economies.
