Art Bell’s 2006 predictions episode features wild claims: callers foresee a tsunami off Oregon/Washington, Iran relocating uranium enrichment to Russia for bomb-making, Canada using nanotech in U.S. food, and Hezbollah firing a dirty bomb into Israel. Others predict WWIII by July under Condoleezza Rice, Bermuda Triangle discoveries, solar disruptions halting shortwave radio, and Fidel Castro’s death sparking Mexican territorial claims in Florida. A caller even warns of Bush’s non-fatal wounding, while another ties boomer cultural backlash to music and fashion shifts. Most predictions—like Bono as the Antichrist or aliens crashing due to magnetic anomalies—lean into fringe theories, though Bell humorously logs them all, revealing how speculative 2005’s "hits" (Katrina) and misses (Parkinson’s cure) set the tone for a year of unproven doomsday visions. [Automatically generated summary]
Now there are certain rules associated with what we do.
This is, I guess, a decade-long event now, or maybe now over a decade, well over a decade.
The rules are simple.
Only one prediction per customer.
And since you only have one, and by the way, no email, emails don't count, fast blasts don't count, only predictions made here on the air so all can hear and record them so everybody knows there is no monkey business at all so therefore you know please think very hard before dialing don't just call me to get voice on the radio become somewhat introspective my take
take on this would be that you, the audience of this program, are probably quite some bit more psychic, more in tune with the ability to perhaps predict the future, but it's going to require that you don't just blurt something out.
I would also ask that you don't make hopeful predictions.
In other words, I hope so-and-so happens.
These are things that come from deep inside your psyche, hopefully, and not something based on your political philosophy or what have you, just what comes from deep truly inside of you.
And so tonight and tomorrow night, we will go to the very inner core of the audience of this program and find out what you think is going to happen in the year 2006.
Now, reviewing, I have, of course, not carefully read all of the predictions that have come out of the Bell family vault for 2005, but I have them here, and we will read them.
But an initial read says you didn't do very well for the year.
There were a few pretty big hits, but not as good as the year before.
And I think what this has to do with is really taking that moment that I talked about.
Don't dial right away.
Sit back and think really hard.
And again, don't let your...
Try not...
You know, the remote viewers do this.
They can't let their own ego, their own political leanings and philosophies get in the way.
So try to reject those.
Try to get rid of any biased influence you may have.
And deep...
Dig very deeply into your psyche and try to come up with something you think is going to occur in the year coming up.
Again, only one prediction per customer.
We will number them.
So we will be able to remember your prediction and assign you credit or a bonk if you're wrong.
No emails.
No fast blasts.
I mean, you can send a fast blast, but I will not record any prediction made from that.
Only on-air predictions.
Therefore, all can hear and record them.
And most importantly, please think very hard before dialing.
Now, what have we here?
Tropical storm Zeta.
Zeta.
Albeit Zeta.
In the Atlantic.
In a surprising but non-threatening curtain call to the Atlantic's busiest hurricane season ever, tropical storm Zeta formed in the open ocean Friday, tying a record for the latest developing named storm.
Although the National Hurricane Center said that Zeta was not forecast to become a hurricane or even threaten land, Zeta's development was significant because it came one month after the official November 30th end
end to the unprecedented season now um i was unable to find a really good list all i wanted was a nice short list of the top news stories of 2005 i did find new scientists uh issued a list of the let's see newscientist.com's 10 news stories of 2005 going from 10 to one 10

Number two, Pentagon reveals rejected chemical weapons.
The chemical sex bomb designed to make enemy soldiers sexually irresistible to each other, thus destroying an enemy's morale.
God, that would do it, wouldn't it?
Number one, 13 things that do not make sense.
Our most clicked story of 2005, the placebo effect, cold fusion, dark energy, the wow signal, and bizarre homeopathy results were just a few of the mysteries that fascinated you.
So the most clicked on at New Scientists, the top 10.
Now, of course, without having a good list of the top 10 stories, I would say the weather certainly would be the top.
Katrina would be the top story of 2005, no doubt about it.
But I think looking beyond Katrina at the big weather picture, and by the way, have you seen what's going on on the West Coast?
Flooding?
Big storm on the way in.
I mean, really big storm on the way in.
Strange things going on above our heads.
The ionosphere is doing very strange things.
So I understand that Time magazine almost made the man of the year Mother Nature.
She was in contention.
Certainly it was a year of weather.
There is no question about that.
A very serious, very wild, very bizarre, unpredictable, record-setting weather.
And if I were to make a prediction for 2006, it would be, if Mother Nature didn't make it for 2005, she's very likely going to make it for 2006.
But again, you are the one to be making the prediction.
So let me give you the phone numbers, bearing in mind they're a little bit different when we're doing the show from here in Perromp, Nevada.
By the way, for those of you who don't know, I do the show from home.
And my home is located in Perromp, Nevada, a strange little, very quickly growing town west of Las Vegas and not far from the infamous Area 51, just over the hill from me here.
Let me give you the phone numbers, your one opportunity tonight and tomorrow night.
So if you don't get through tonight, don't worry about it.
You'll make it tomorrow night.
First time callers, Area Code 775-727-1222.
The wildcard line, area code 775-727-1295.
East of the Rockies, 1-800-825-5033.
West of the Rockies, 1-800-618-8255.
In a moment, the stage is yours.
The End I forgot there is one more rule, and this one is in my own best interest.
Now, there will be no predictions of assassinations of U.S. politicians.
Now, there's a very good reason for this, and that is that inevitably every year, somebody will predict an assassination.
Now, what happens in order every time is that Aunt Gertrude, somewhere in Missouri, hears it and calls the U.S. Secret Service.
And then the U.S. Secret Service calls me.
Actually, what happens is the Secret Service comes to my door.
Mr. Bell!
Mr. Bell!
And then they drag this out and they want to know where the phone call came from, which, of course, I don't know.
And then I explain to them that it was a prediction, a psychic prediction made by somebody in the audience and reported, no doubt, by somebody somewhere in Missouri.
Last time I think it was.
But, you know, nobody likes having guys with bulges in their coat pockets and, you know, IDs that scare you, and they never smile.
Well, they do after a while, but you get the idea.
Nobody wants a knock like that on their door, and it always comes.
So, as a result, no predictions of assassinations of U.S. politicians.
Foreign politicians, that'd be all right.
But not of domestic U.S. politicians, okay?
Here we go.
First time caller line, you are the first one on the air this year.
Do you think we're going to see one of the major car companies go belly up?
unidentified
It possibly could.
I just know that it's being real rough on the people that work there because they're getting to where it's worse and worse every year for the auto industry people that work there.
I spent a lot of this last hurricane season plastered in front of CNN and Vox and the Weather Channel and bouncing back and forth.
And there's a kind of a dark fascination as these monsters form and then move toward the continental U.S. There's a kind of an eerie, weird fascination to watch all of it occur.
unidentified
Yeah, I think we're only seeing we're only scratching the beginning of this.
It's going to get much worse before it calms down again.
The coming year in weather, I think it will top 2005, and that's saying quite a bit.
Again, though, I wonder how many of you sort of join me in the fascination of sitting down in front of the television and watching these monsters form and the speed with which some of them formed.
I mean, literally in hours, some of them went from cat one to cat five in just a few hours.
And will the Californians have any warning, or will the people in San Diego be sitting in their homes and then get up and look out and see water on all sides?
unidentified
I don't believe they'll have any warning.
I've had this.
It's been a reoccurring dream for at least two months now.
There are going to be a million programs that are going to have so-called pros on, you know, to do predictions, but this is the one program where all of you, who I think have a higher than average ESP or psychic ability, simply because you listen to this program.
It's one program where you get the opportunity to make the prediction.
Simple rules.
Only one prediction per customer.
No email, no fast blast, only on-air stuff is recorded, so it will be known by all.
Please think very carefully before dialing.
We want you to go to your psychic center.
No predictions of assassinations of U.S. politicians will be tolerated.
I will hit the button on that one so I don't get in trouble.
Reviewing a few of the predictions made for 2005.
Number one, 100,000 more troops go to Iraq.
Well, I'm going to give that a ding.
I don't know if it was exactly 100,000, but it was a hell of a lot.
So ding, ding, ding, ding on that one.
Number two, final exam for humans, as well as new energy discovered.
Well, I don't know about any final exam.
New energy.
I'm not so sure about that one.
A tentative bonk on that.
Number three, free energy, a definite bong on that.
We'll get plenty of predictions of that for this year.
Eventually, it'll be right.
Number four, white noise, a giant motion picture.
Well, it was pretty big.
I wasn't that crazy about it, frankly.
But it was a big motion picture.
I'm not sure how to rate that.
I'm going to bonk it.
That's on the line, I know, but I'm bonking it.
I'm being very strict here.
Five, solar flares, really hot, plus high west coast temperatures.
That one gets a ding.
It's been a crazy, crazy solar year.
Number six, Pope will die, and Black Pope replaces him.
Well, half-right.
We'll give that a ding and a bonk.
The Pope did pass, of course, but was not replaced by a Black Pope.
Number seven, Dick Cheney resigns.
Bonk.
Number eight, a major terrorist attack on the U.S. and Canada.
And I think a major terrorist attack.
That's a bonk.
Been pretty quiet.
Number nine, U.S. in bondage by Al-Qaeda.
Now, I don't know what to do with that one.
We are certainly very concerned with Al-Qaeda.
So I'm not sure.
I'm going to bonk that.
Number 10, Sunday legislation increases.
Well, I don't think that's occurred.
By the way, correct me on Fast Blast if I'm wrong on these bonk.
Number 11, Johnny Carson passes.
Ding, ding, ding, ding.
Number 12, Israel hits Iran nuke facility, and then there is a war.
We'll give that a bonk.
Number 13, Canadian people rise up to join the U.S. I'm not sure for what, but I don't think there's been any great rise, so bonk.
Number 14, a cure is found for Parkinson's disease.
Bonk, unfortunately.
And number 15, a national ID card.
I think that's bonk, too.
I don't think we have one yet.
So if I'm wrong on any of these, feel free to correct me by sending me a fast blast.
I could certainly be.
Back to it we go.
First time caller line, your chance to make a prediction for 06.
I can imagine, you know, with the weather turning the way it has and the hurricane seasons becoming so vicious, something like you've suggested you saw really could happen.
I could imagine, I mean, after seeing what Katrina did in places, and they had a kind of a pictorial analysis done on CNN the other day in which they showed buildings that were there prior to Katrina, beautiful buildings with landscaping, you know, big, solid buildings in the New Orleans area, and then the aftermath, and of course they were gone, and there was not even a trace left.
Not even a trace.
Occasionally, perhaps a couple of bricks of the foundation, a little bit of the foundation left, and that was it.
In other cases, not even that.
East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
unidentified
Yeah, hi, Art.
This is Dale from Oklahoma, listening to you on KFAQ out of Tulsa.
And my prediction is that in 2006 that South Korea, the regime is going to collapse, and the people in South Korea will attempt to reunite with South Korea.
And they'll try to reunite, the people will, with South Korea, but the red Chinese are going to invade, and that will spark a worldwide military huge buildup.
And again, if you're just tuning in, we're doing predictions, your predictions, for the year 2006.
We're numbering them.
We record them and then they get stored in the Bell Family Vault for the year and then dragged out to be reviewed and clapped or booed as we review them.
First time caller line, you're on the air.
Hello.
unidentified
Hello, R. Hi.
If someone is doing remote viewing and they see something and they're not quite sure what it means, is there any way that we could maybe get that on the list?
And again, I am asking that you don't just dial to get on the air.
You don't just, you know, lay something, anything on me, that you go into the center of yourself and think a little bit about what's coming up, what you see happening, and make it as unbiased as you can.
In a way, I seem to be instructing you in the way a remote viewer would.
In other words, suppress your ego, suppress what your ideology is, so that you don't make a prediction based on your own bias, that you rather make one just based on whatever psychic input you may have, psychic ability you may have.
Wildcard line, you're on the air.
Hi.
Yes.
First of all, turn your radio off, please.
Okay.
I'm going to have to cut that out, and we'll just make it Gregory.
If I say turn your radio off, you need to turn your radio off.
But I've got it.
I record it.
Nevertheless, number 11, Son of God revealed in 2006.
Well, that would make it quite a year, wouldn't it?
What do you think would happen if the Son of God came back?
What do you think the judgment of Earth, the current state of affairs on Earth, both with man and what man has done, how would that be reviewed by the Son of God?
number twelve by the way Brian in San Antonio says, hey, Art, it's not the armpit.
It's the Big Bend region.
Okay, fine.
Greg P. from Canada says, Art, you should ask for predictions, not wishes.
So many of these are just what someone wishes would happen, and they have no predictive value at all.
Well, I agree.
That's why I said try and do it in an unbiased manner.
Try and do it casting aside your own political persuasion.
And Ken in Louisville says if remote viewing has such a time frame problem, why should we all be concerned with any such prophecy?
Well, perhaps not.
It does seem to have value, certainly, predictive value, but the time frame bit is a great difficulty, though, of course, Major Dames claims to have nailed that down.
That, of course, could be proven by a number of accurate predictions on his part.
Well, that's history, buddy, and I wish we had it recorded, but we don't.
So make a prediction now for 2006 that we can record and then clap for you and say, hey, you did it.
unidentified
2006, something your listeners and you will love.
Nell Gibson is going to release a movie, one of the most controversial movies ever released.
This movie is going to part of the name of the movie is going to be Apocalypse Something.
This movie is going to be about this country being held hostage by fundamental Islamists with nuclear weapons.
And this war, actually this movie is going to be, it may not even be allowed to be released in this country because the national defense DOD people have reviewed information, I'm sure, of this movie.
Now, is this a prediction or is this something you have inside info on?
Tell the truth.
unidentified
It's a mixture of two.
I've heard rumors about people who are actually trying to stop this from happening, that this production, he's trying to release that some Middle Eastern people actually applaud this movie because it's really about us getting really in a bad way.
Well, certainly Mel Gibson has been making and releasing very wildly controversial motion pictures.
So that could well be a new Mel Gibson movie virtually about terrorism and the U.S. being held hostage by some terrorists.
We'll see another interesting prediction, and that one number 14.
These really have been rather unusual, with the exception of San Diegans floating out toward the Pacific.
The rest of them have been very unlikely.
You know, you get a lot of very typical predictions, and a lot of these have been very non-typical.
And so if they hit, you know, if we would get a ding on some of these, these people would be actually worth bringing forward.
I mean, they're so unlikely that if they were to actually hit them on the nose, we'd almost have to interview somebody and see what else they had for us.
Well, basically, I've been, I kind of believe this one scientist, I forget his name, but I believe when he believes, when they say that earthquakes tend to follow patterns along fault lines.
And it seems like earthquakes have been following the Pacific Ocean rift up through Asia, and now some volcanoes have been erupting in North America or becoming active in North America.
There's going to be several crafts that are going to crash, and this is going to be caused by a magnetic flux, which is possibly what the woman that was talking about earlier.
Yes.
These crafts are going to crash, and I feel this date is going to be June 6th.
All right, so a magnetic anomaly occurs, much like the lady suggested.
And as a result of this, extraterrestrial craft, which he obviously believes are navigating our atmosphere or just beyond it, will get all confused and crash.
And this will occur in a metropolitan area, causing the news media to no doubt take immediate notice.
I've been having a recurring dream, and it keeps showing the media saying that this was the year of the earthquake because it came in unusual places like from Boston to Maine.
I would think, honestly, now, if I began to have a dream, a repetitive dream like yours, and I lived in the area of question, after about the third or fourth time, I'd move.
I think that some type of satellite or man-made machine or something else-made machine is going to be tumbling towards the Earth, and we're going to be at desperate means to try and figure out what we're going to do with it.
I think it's going to happen that we're going to be able to block it away, but it's going to partially land and hit part of the Earth.
Some big object, whether it's from the past, whether it's from the future, but something's going to be, and they're not going to be able to cover this one up.
One thing clear in the predictions thus far, they seem to be, you seem to be, leaning toward the possibility of an alien craft crashing in the United States, somewhere in the U.S., due to some sort of magnetic anomaly or some other reason, but an alien craft crashing, and it's catching the attention of a lot of listeners.
So that's kind of interesting.
We'll see if it becomes more of a trend.
Again, looking at a few from 2005, number 16 was that there'll be a six and a half earthquake, 6.5, west of Los Angeles in August.
And I think that's a bonk.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
17, more stem cell research of the private type.
Ding, ding, ding, ding.
Well, that sure is going on.
Tony Blair, number 18, Tony Blair withdraws troops from Iraq.
I think that might be a ding.
I'm not sure.
So I'll tentatively ding it, and I could be wrong.
Number 19, a major earthquake in California in the desert, bonk, as far as I know.
Number 20, a computer breakthrough of the sort that would allow much, much faster computers.
That's a definite bonk.
In fact, I'd like to note that I think in 2005, there have been not the kind of speed increases and increases in computer efficiency, memory, storage, that sort of thing.
Well, in storage, we had a pretty big increase, but generally, not the kind of increase in computer technology that we've experienced in previous years.
Seems to be slowing up a little bit.
Number 21, that Mount St. Helens would erupt, and that would be a ding.
It wasn't a major eruption, but it did erupt, didn't it?
Ding, ding, ding.
Number 22, That a nuclear plant in Cleveland goes up.
Thankfully, that's a bonk.
Number 23, Bigfoot discovered.
Now, this is going to be controversial.
There were a couple of very big Bigfoot stories, but I think they turned out negatively, so I'm going to bonk it.
Number 24, Iraq elections.
Ding, ding, ding.
They certainly did have them.
Number 25, comet dust becomes bad news.
In other words, we get some dust back from a comet, something bad happens.
Bonk, thankfully.
Number 26, a semi-tractor blows up.
Well, certainly that is a big ding.
There were several semi-tractors that blew up in quite a spectacular fashion.
Number 27, aliens are proven not to be real.
Bonk.
And number 28, a cruise ship blows up.
A cruise ship didn't blow up.
A cruise ship was attacked and suffered from pirates, right?
But I don't think any of them blew up that I'm aware of.
So I'm going to give it a little ding and a big bonk, if that makes any sense at all.
In other words, understanding that something occurred, something major occurred to a cruise ship deserves some merit.
All right, back to predictions for the coming year.
A whole lot of flooding going on in the northwest, Katie.
I was watching the weather channel earlier, and they said, except for a couple of low-pressure systems that are off the coast, off the west coast right now, the jet stream would be on the ground with 100 mile per hour plus winds.
So there's some pretty rough weather headed our way, and certainly there now, I understand, water in the streets of Reno, a lot of areas flooding, and we've got a major storm.
Your prediction, Katie?
unidentified
I'd like to say that there's a fault line on the east shore of the lake.
And I think that there's going to be an earthquake, and it'll cause sort of like a tsunami, but it'll probably only go like 40 or 50 feet onto land, but it'll probably ruin about 1,000 houses up here.
I was going to make a prediction earlier, and I couldn't get through.
So I decided to go to bed and listen in bed, and I started to drift off, and something came to me.
I think Fidel Castro is going to pass away this year, and something's going to happen in Cuba, and you're going to see a new Las Vegas pop up down there.
I had visions of a tsunami, but unlike your other caller that was on, I'm getting the visions that the tsunami is going to be a large one and hit north of California between Oregon and Washington, somewhere in that vicinity.
Officially assigning that number 26, that the Iranians stop their enrichment process, but they continue withdrawing the raw materials, ship them to Russia, and that the whole thing ends up perhaps being an Islamic bomb.
And they're going to be causing a lot of trouble for us down here in the United States, and that's going to lead up to a lot of trouble for everyone else.
Well, do you think the Canadians are going to do something really horrendous, like, I don't know, shrinking Americans, exporting Canadian whatever it is that's grown up there that we eat that will cause us all to shrink?
unidentified
No, it's going to be something subtle.
It's going to be nanotechnology in the food.
It's going to be subtle to where not even very many people are going to notice it, but it's going to be the demise of the United States.
Made kind of in the near term, but what he says makes some sense, doesn't it?
If this giant storm should boil up even more somehow as it crosses the continental United States, as it gets to the east coast, it would dump, well, he says, feet of snow, and this will occur in January, very shortly.
My prediction for tonight is I've been getting a lot of kind of feelings about something happening with the Catholic faith.
Now, I'm not a Catholic, but I seem to get these images that Pope Benedict is really going to begin to assert himself and try and make the Catholic faith not only a major religious power, but also a major political power in the world.
And I think that we're going to see some transitions there that lead to something where most Americans kind of treat Catholics the same way a lot of Americans are beginning to treat Muslims with an almost instant distrust.
And we're going to get a little bit of that happening with the Catholic faith by the end of the year as well.
Got one that's not quite so unusual, more realistic, but I think Bush is going to start giving a little bit of details into an exit strategy for Iraqi soldiers.
Well, usually that's not done because, of course, once you announce an exit strategy, once you announce you're leaving, then those who oppose us, those who wish us dead, would have a date by which they could rejoice and know they could take over, right?
Yeah.
All right.
Well, thank you very much.
For that reason, I wouldn't think they would announce something of that sort until they're actually prepared, ready to do it.
But anyway, number 32, President Bush begins to give hints of an exit strategy for Iraq.
My prediction is that neither Sylvia Brown, John Edwards, James N. Prague, or any other self-proclaimed psychic will take Randy's $1 million challenge because they are all craven frauds.
I reckon that the northern part of Australia around Darwin, Keynes, Mackay, Rome, will be hit by worse storms than what we got now, and New South Wales and Victoria will get really dry.
And if everybody will listen carefully for the international number, we give it out, and you can reach us from any part of the world to register your prediction for 2006.
Well, obviously, I can think two things are coming forward thus far this year: the alien business, the possibility of a crashed alien craft, and certainly the weather is on everybody's mind.
And I'm afraid to suggest that what Whitley and myself wrote in The Coming Global Superstorm is absolutely coming true.
Not the final chapter yet, perhaps, but I would say we're pretty deep into the book.
My prediction is that just like warnings on cigarettes, cell phones from the government are going to have warnings for showing that brain damage affects serotonin,
which will mean more people will be on antidepressants because of cell phones, and also it will accelerate the cancer gene in men for prostate cancer from wearing it on their hip.
So, like a set of dominoes, California will go down.
unidentified
No, it won't go down.
It's just going to be a cascade effect.
And I don't know if they're going to be bigger or San Francisco will be smaller, but what they're going to find is that a set of faults that they never knew before is deeper than they ever thought.
In fact, somebody called earlier and said San Diego would be floating down the Pacific somewhere.
unidentified
I don't think that's.
I really don't.
I don't see that happening.
But I think it's really going to set everybody off kilter because they're going to be so big and they're going to think maybe it's one big one, but it's not.
It's a Cast Domino effect, and there are fault lines that are deeper than what they've ever found before.
My prediction is that a giant, I don't know if you'd call it a flock, or what it'd be called, a bats, will invade the southern United States from Mexico coming through Texas.
You now have the opportunity to make an insightful prediction for the coming year.
unidentified
It's kind of odd.
Well, Danny, the psychic communities online, the kind of homebrew-style ones, are either going to come together and stop the infighting or really, really start it up and create a lot of mess.
you know these groups online no matter how well and and well-intentioned they begin they always turn into fights so whether it's psychics or ufology people or any other special little group that's Yeah.
You know, when people start writing messages, they start pretty soon, it's well-intentioned, then they're ripping each other to shreds.
unidentified
It becomes the who, who's got the right answer and egos get in the way.
Now, I don't know specifics, but let me tell you what I'm feeling.
I've always felt a sort of temporary nature to the current Pope, that he is merely temporary or his position will be very short-lived.
And I do not sense him being in his position by the year 2007.
In other words, he will either be dead or we will have a new Pope.
I don't know if a Pope can step down or I don't really know that much about the Catholic religion, but I do not feel that Benedict will be Pope by the end of 2006.
Well, my wife and I were over there around the middle of this month, and just before we were going up the steps, I felt a little dizzy, and I looked down towards where the bishop's residence is, the cardinal's residence, and the trees were green.
And of course, there's no foliage on the trees this time of year.
And I got very hot and very warm, and then I saw a white flash.
And it happened within about two or three seconds.
But my wife grabbed my arm.
I had cardiovascular surgery in July, and she thought maybe I was having a problem.
And she asked me what happened, and I told her, I said, I've just got the strangest Feeling that there's going to be something happening in this cathedral sometime this summer.
I don't know if anybody talked about that Saddam Hussein trials, and I just kind of got an idea, just a feeling that sometime this year he might, during one of his court procedures, that going to get a group of people coming here to storm him and either going to kill him or get him out of there.
And they're going to start fighting back and saying it's time, you know, we're in the majority, we're the older people, we're the move-boomers, and we've always set things up.
Why don't we begin with music and demand that this what they're calling music right now be immediately stopped and anything that comes out has got to have a tune.
If it doesn't have a tune, then you could send it to the moon.
unidentified
But I really think that it's going to cause a change in the overall, what's the word, you know, just a sense of our overall culture in the country because it's going to have a little different pace to it.
And I think it's, I don't know if you'd call that really anything psychic, but I really feel like it's coming, and I think it's going to be a big surprise to a lot of people because we'll see a real change in feelings about fashion and music and perhaps spirituality.
I wonder, when do you think that the larger percentage of the American public begins understanding the size of the change in the weather that we're getting?
Number 46, I don't understand, big sucking sounds.
Now, I'm sorry, I wrote that down, but I have no idea what that means, unless it refers to the low pressure in the center of hurricane, so I'll bonk that.
Number 47, cold fusion rediscovered.
Well, certainly there's work going on, but I don't think a major rediscovery has been declared.
Number 48, a draft.
Thank God, a bonk.
Number 49, large life found on Mars.
Large life.
Well, bonk.
Number 50, fourth quarter collapse of a large corporation.
We'll have to ding that one.
Certainly, they've been going down like dominoes.
Now we get into a very interesting area.
Number 51, the Pope will pass away in May or June.
Not exactly right, but close enough for me to ding it.
He passed away April 2nd of 2005.
April 2nd.
Number 52, a celebrity has some sort of tree accident.
Now, I'm not sure.
I don't think any trees have fallen on celebrities that I'm aware of during the year.
53, Lisa Marie Presley has a hit.
That might be a ding.
I'll tentatively bonk that, but that might be a ding.
I sort of have a vague memory of something.
54, terrorist attack at one of our ports.
We'll give that a bonk.
Number 55, Iran and Iraq.
If I can read this, and Korea go into Taiwan.
Oh, I see.
China goes into Taiwan.
Definitely a bonk, but always a possibility.
And number 56, and we'll stop there.
Pope dies on the 15th of March.
And now technically, that's bonk, but it was April 2nd.
So a couple of these were remarkably close with dates with respect to the Pope's passing.
All right, my friend, you have a prediction, no doubt, for the year to come.
unidentified
Yeah, being from Phoenix, I have a, I keep getting this reoccurring vision, and it's of a terrorist attack in the downtown Phoenix area, I'd say it'd like a suitcase-type nuke explosion.
And so I believe there's going to be a terrorist attack in Phoenix.
You know, since you live in Phoenix, I would think such a prediction, you know, if it's a recurring vision, would be enough to cause one to go elsewhere.
unidentified
Actually, part of the vision is I'm actually driving, and I see the mushroom cloud appear on the horizon in the Phoenix area as I'm coming into Phoenix.
In the vision, the house is pretty beat up by the explosion, but my family is actually okay.
And in the vision, I actually call them, and I'm looking at the anvil going up, and I tell them to jump in the car as fast as possible and to drive in the opposite direction of the anvil.
And if I really saw something like that, I think I would get my family out of town instead of depending on the rest of the vision and telling them to drive.
But, hey, it's your vision.
So I've got it.
Number 49, it's registered.
unidentified
Thanks again for all the great years of entertainment.
I mean, these really have been pretty wild predictions tonight.
Not at all typical of what you would expect to get.
They've been varied, unusual, and many of them the kinds of things that should they occur, you really would want to have that person on and probe a little into what else they know.
Well, my prediction for 2006 is that we will start to see huge developments in what will commonly be considered the next major socio-political anti-discrimination movement in the U.S. What?
Well, this was kind of like a previous caller who suggested that the baby boomers, now getting around 60 years of age, will rise up and, well, seize power.
unidentified
Kind of a coincidence, but my take is a little bit to the opposite of that.
I mean, the youth rights movement, I think, will likely generate historic divisions in our culture.
So I can expect to maybe get a nose ring and have to wear baggy pants here.
unidentified
No, no, not necessarily that type of thing.
But I mean, through the heated debate that will ensue and the coming together of minds, new political policies, and I think the key is a major society-wide shift in thinking regarding how we view a person's age versus their degree of maturity and intelligence.
I think an excellent example of this would be some policies that move away from age restrictions or start to move away from age restrictions, such as 18 being considered the age of majority or adulthood, and closer to the acceptance of looking at young people as mature and intelligent individuals regardless of their calendar age.
And my prediction is not a very nice one, but I predict that the Iranian-backed Hezbollah is going to use one of their Katusha rockets to fire a dirty bomb into Israel next year.
Well, I think that what they would do is they would take over the Palestinian lands, and then they would be threatened by the Iranians, and it may escalate from there.
Well, I've been trying to tell the callers that, but they have this feeling that you're going to attack us with some sort of nanotechnology weapon, some small nanoweapon that'll eat us all up or shortness or something.
unidentified
Well, you can recognize a Canadian because when we bump into a piece of furniture, we usually end up apologizing to it.
It was that polite.
In any event, I really enjoyed this program for years, and I've never felt compelled to call or had anything to contribute.
Well, if you wouldn't mind me just giving a little bit of background, I am sensitive, and I usually am able to predict anecdotal things, but I've never had what some of your actual guests have had is a map drawn for me in a dream or a vision.
And at one time, about three weeks ago, I think, I saw a map of China.
And I'm not even familiar with the geography of Asia because it was neglected in my education.
We knew Europe and North America, but it's all kind of vague for me.
And I saw the map, and I saw something happening on the southeast coast of China, and then also inland, about almost three-quarters of the way to the Russian border.
I thought, first I thought tsunami, but I got a strong impression that it was some kind of nuclear wind.
I almost discounted it or thought that it already happened because then I saw a news story how the Russians were beginning to clean up from a toxic spill a few weeks ago because of the burning factories.
I thought, oh, that is what probably had happened.
But I still have this nagging conviction that it's a nuclear wind that is sort of airborne.
And when I check the map of China, I realize that there's a coast and there is a large conflagration of water around the Li Si River, inland China, and a rise in the topography that would block a wind again.
So I guess my prediction is there will be some kind of nuclear either accident or event, and the winds will sweep across southern China, yeah.
Be blown whether it's going to be a Korean-inspired test or something.
I really couldn't go that far, but that would be my prediction.
I'd like to predict that there's going to be a major earthquake that is going to be in New York near the mouth of the St. Lawrence River going downwards.
Somewhere in there, there's going to be a major earthquake.
I think this is going to be a year when the sun really does go totally berserk.
Music Let me emphasize for several callers how right they are about the sun and do a little plug for smeter.net at the same time.
The frequencies that I frequently operate are carried now on the net.
We actually have a receiver set up and we play it on the net.
And it's contained on a site called smeter.net.
That's smeter.net.
And if you go there, you can choose from, I don't know, four or five different shortwave receivers.
And listen, we've got one here in Perump, Nevada.
And you can hear what's left of shortwave.
And I say that somewhat facetiously because the sun has been acting so strangely that none of the frequencies we operate are being supported.
In fact, earlier tonight, the ionosphere was in such bad shape that in the northwest part of the U.S. and western Canada and ultimately out into the Pacific, what's called the maximum usable frequency had dropped down to one megahertz.
One megahertz.
That's in the broadcast band.
So some of you may have noticed that broadcast stations at the higher end of the dial that you normally hear, you weren't hearing.
That's how strange it's beginning to get.
It certainly underlines what several callers have said about the sun.
First time caller line, you're on the air.
Hi.
unidentified
Hello, Art.
This is Dan calling you from the edge of the Bermuda Triangle.
And definitely the Mideast is going to be part of the powder cake, but I think we're going to have weather and pandemic things all coming together sort of as Murphy's Law of the perfect storm scenario.
So space technology somehow gives us a breakthrough that does what?
A medical breakthrough that does what?
unidentified
A medical breakthrough that provides information for us at the cellular level.
I don't know if it's going to be related to the Human Genome Project or stem cell research or any number of ways that you want to look at us as a race on a cellular level.
I just woke up all 30 minutes ago and realized your show was on, but I was having a dream, and I've had it all two or three times the past three or four months.
And also, if you just woke up a half hour ago, buddy, then your prediction was very similar to another man who suggested there would be a kind of a ghost vessel found somewhere.
So I'm beginning to see a little bit of a pattern there as well.
And the person that takes over the power is going to align himself with Mexico, and they're going to declare parts of the Southwest and Florida their country.
