Coast to Coast AM’s 2010 Predictions—hosted from Manila—feature wild claims like Israel attacking Iraq’s nuclear sites in December, gold hitting $2,000, a Paris hydrogen bomb, U.S. barter systems, and Obama revealing aliens on NBC. Callers also foresee bee colony collapse impacts, Mojave Desert volcanic eruptions, a Mayan 2012 "dimensional shift" in 2010, and even U.S. military undermining terrorism myths by burying bodies in pigskin. Most predictions missed, but economic desperation-driven crime and nanotech breakthroughs for paralysis were recorded, blending fringe speculation with tangible concerns about societal collapse and technological disruption. [Automatically generated summary]
From the Southeast Asian capital city of the Philippines, Manila, I bid you good morning, good afternoon, good evening, whatever it may be, wherever you are around the world.
I'm Art Bell for George Norrie, and it's the end of the year, so it means a lot of things.
We're going to do a couple of days of prediction shows, and I'm going to sort of do a preamble to that.
But first, I want to note something very worrisome.
Rush Limbaugh, Rush, who is my co-worker, was in Hawaii on vacation.
And according to a Honolulu television station, paramedics apparently have Rush to the hospital in Hawaii, near the resort where he was staying.
I guess he had chest pains.
This is according to KITV, and we're waiting for any further details, of course.
The station, citing unnamed sources, so always be careful about a story like this, said 58-year-old Limbaugh was taken to Queen's Medical Center in, I'm quoting here, serious condition.
So, Rush, what can I say, buddy?
God, 58, pretty young for that.
Of course, as you know, he had a lot of extra weight and trimmed a lot of that away and sort of changed his lifestyle.
Unlike me for the most part, changed his lifestyle, and you just wouldn't expect this at 58.
Very vibrant, but a very hard worker, too.
So take care of Rush.
And if there are any additional details, I'm going to watch the news, but I'd appreciate any updates by Fast Blast, which I will then check out before airing.
All right.
Very somber note to begin this kind of a program with.
Very somber note.
As you know, Rush and I work for the same company and have for years and years and years and years.
Take care, buddy.
I hope you're okay.
Now, every year, at the very end of the year and just before the new year begins, we do something called predictions from all of you.
Predictions of what will occur in the year 2010.
2010.
You know, I never thought I'd get to see the year 2010.
I never thought I'd get to see you the year 20.
2000, really.
By the way, all the ABs are very well indeed.
And we've got a Christmas picture of Miss Asia on the website.
If you click on it and follow along, click on the second one, it gets bigger.
So you can see a pretty good picture of Asia.
She's turning into quite the young lady, I'll tell you.
And the last piece of personal news is my antenna project is still passing through the bureaucratic nightmare that we have here, but it's going to get done.
I have some confidence, some confidence anyway.
All right.
Here's how it works.
This last year was really something, wasn't it?
Oh, by the way, volcano update.
We have a volcano here at the Mayan Volcano.
And it has sort of started to get a little quieter.
Not as many earthquakes, not as much lava, but that worries them because it means, according to the scientists, that the lava is now building up in Mayan and as opposed to being ejected through the most perfect volcano hole in the world.
That's what it's famous for, by the way.
Very perfect cone.
And they're afraid it's getting plugged up now, and that's what, of course, causes an explosion.
You know, it's like, I don't know what it's like.
It's like shaking up a Coke bottle or something.
Anyway, so we're all watching the Mayan Volcano very carefully.
No worries here.
We're in Manila, about 300 miles.
The volcano is about 300 miles south of us.
All right, so predictions.
Let me give you the rules.
There are some simple rules, but they are very, very important.
You must follow them, or you will become ejected.
Now, I'm going to do open lines.
That means no screeners.
And no screeners, unless I run up against real serious trouble, and then I'll bring in a screener.
But I'm not going to do it.
We're going to have open lines.
And what that means is you dial the numbers that will appear on your radio shortly and just let it ring and let it ring and let it ring and let it ring.
That way you are not charged for being on hold and waiting if you're calling one of the pay lines.
That's first important to understand.
But here come the rules.
Most importantly, most importantly, these are psychic predictions.
Not, by the way, professional psychics, although they're not barred from calling.
I will not have a professional psychic guest.
But if they want to call and declare themselves a professional psychic, I'll put a little P by their prediction.
And then we'll see if they do any better than any of the rest of you.
Because I think everybody's kind of psychic, frankly.
And so this is your opportunity to dig deep into your psychic center.
Really try and envision what's going to happen in 2010.
Now, listen to me very carefully.
I don't want any predictions based on your political hopes, hates, wishes, desires, whatever.
None of that.
And if I detect it, I will eliminate the prediction and go on to the next person.
Only one prediction Per caller.
Only one caller per two shows tonight and tomorrow.
These are all very important rules.
Not many of them, but very important.
Again, the most important, I think, is that it really be from your psychic center.
I mean, take a minute.
We've got some commercials to do and all the rest of it.
And think really hard about what you think might happen in 2010.
And during the year, there's people who keep these lists, including me.
They are stored in the Bell Family Vault during the year.
And then we look at them, you know, next year, same time, and rate them, which we'll be doing during the course of this program.
No predictions of political assassination.
Now, I shouldn't have to tell you that, but I will tell you, as I do every year, that if somebody makes, some little old lady in Missouri makes a political assassination prediction, that without any doubt and absolutely for sure, the Secret Service will come and knock on my door.
And I'll tell you, it's happened so many years in the past that, you know, here I am in the Philippines, in Manila.
They would come to the Philippines and they would knock on my door, and they would be pretty upset having to come all the way to the other side of the world to knock on my door.
So I will, you know, I have a seven-second save your butt button here, and I press it so it'll never get on the air.
But don't even try it.
And then I'm going to number.
As you give me a prediction, I will assign it a number so that we can remember it and remember you.
Okay?
No email predictions, no fast blast, only here, only during open lines.
And I'll repeat these rules every now and then, but that's sort of the basic idea.
In a moment, we'll review some predictions made last year for this year.
I don't know what kind of year it's going to be.
It's probably not very good because we were in the middle of such a deep financial crisis last year when we did this that I think it affected people's predictive ability.
They were very worried about it.
We'll take a break and be right back.
Again, my best wishes and hopes for healing for Rush Limbaugh in the hospital in Hawaii.
There is, you know, the recent news, of course, I get to come to you sort of after a lot of news has happened, volcanoes here and, I don't know, people trying to blow up airplanes.
Oh, yeah.
We had the guy with the shoe, right?
Trying to blow up the airplane.
Now the guy, they ought to call him the fancy pants bomber.
The fancy pants bomber.
Now there's been an attack in Yemen, by the way.
The Yemenis are trying to clear out al-Qaeda.
Good luck.
All right, looking at some of the predictions you made last year for this year, let's see how you did.
Number one was aliens land in Memphis.
I didn't notice that occurred.
Did any of you?
So we're going to call that bonk.
See, that's the kind of thing that, I mean, fine.
If you really, really, really think aliens are going to land in Memphis, Tennessee, then fine.
But, you know, if you make that kind of prediction, you know, it's probably going to be a bonk.
Number two, nuclear device detonates in the U.S. We've had that prediction every year.
That's a big bonk.
Three, new monarch on the English throne.
No, bonk.
Number four, let's see.
Something about a representative from Congress would be hypnotized and report a UFO sighting.
And I think that's a bonk, but if that happens, somebody let me know.
Remember, you can go to the website and fast blast me.
Number five, a major earthquake in a West Coast city.
Now, you would think that that would have been a ding because there almost always is some kind of major earthquake, but I'm bonking it because there really wasn't.
Number six, U.S. and Canada become more socialist.
Yeah, I'll give that a ding.
That was the first ding.
Number six, U.S. and Canada become more socialist.
And I'll do that without comment.
Economy, number seven, economy flounders slash depression.
Well, yeah, I guess I would have to ding that.
It certainly floundered.
I don't know about a depression, although it was close.
Number eight, if you're unemployed, certainly it was a pretty depressive.
Number eight, harsh winter, food shortages?
Well, that's a tentative bonk, I think.
The winter was about average, I guess, and I don't think there were any food shortages that I'm major ones that I'm aware of.
Number nine, nuclear device goes off in the Saudi oil fields.
That would have been a big one, and that's thankfully a bonk.
That's number nine.
Number ten, Obama honeymoon over by October.
Okay, I'm going to give that a ding because the approval numbers for Obama certainly by October were plunging.
So I think that's a tentative ding.
Number 11, proof that Bigfoot exists.
Bonk.
Bonkity bonk.
Number 12, Coast Listeners form Insomniacs Club.
Well, Coast Listeners are an Insomniacs Club, but that's a bonk because I know of no club formation.
Number 13, the year of the homicide.
I actually took the time to check on this, and that's a big bonk because homicides actually went down in the United States.
In fact, I should tell you a little story.
I'll hold it.
No, I won't.
I'll tell it now.
Let's see.
We were watching a movie last night here about some pedophile.
You know, it was a typical story, like so many movies about a pedophile in some part of the U.S., a little girl, and it was a very sad story.
And we started talking about that kind of crime, and then crime in general here, where I am, for example, in the Philippines, versus the United States.
And so I went to Google, and I started looking, trying anyway, to look this stuff up.
First, pedophilia, because it doesn't really go on here.
I'm not saying there isn't any, but it doesn't really, as a general rule, go on here.
There has been a lot of human trafficking and that kind of thing.
But in terms of, can I call it personal pedophilia or that sort of thing, it really doesn't go on here.
And then I started looking at general crime statistics.
And I think there's a very, you know, there's a big impression out there that the Philippines is crime-riddled.
Well, it's not.
It's really not.
The crime stats here are extremely low.
Now, there are other areas where I don't know that you'd want to say this country excels, but graft and bribery and that kind of thing, there's a ton of it here.
But in terms of crimes, crimes against property, crimes against people, crimes, murder, robbery, those sorts of crimes, very, I mean, just very, very, very much lower than the United States.
Not as low, for example, as Japan, but not far away.
You can look it up on the web.
And I was pretty shocked.
I, too, thought there was, now, of course, there are terrorists here.
And if you go down to the southern part of the Philippines, you could lose your head or something.
Down to Mindanao, there's been quite a bit of trouble.
We had the Apatuan slaughter down in Mindanao, that kind of thing.
But as a general rule, crime, crime, you know, breaking into homes, stealing cars, that sort of thing.
Very much lower here for some reason, whatever reason.
I guess it's I don't know what it is, frankly.
It's worth pondering.
All right, we're going to start taking predictions.
That's what I got down to number 13.
Number 14, commercial real estate folds.
That's kind of a ding.
It didn't die as badly as some people thought.
Number 15, 15% inflation by the third to fourth quarter, bonk.
No way.
Not even close.
All right.
Once again, it's going to be open lines.
You know the numbers.
If you don't, you should.
Well, let me give them to you.
We haven't given them out yet.
West of the Rockies, 1-800-618-8255.
East of the Rockies, 1-800-825-5033.
First time caller line, we've got a bunch of those.
One of those, rather, 1-818-501-4721.
Wildcard lines.
We do have a bunch of those.
Area code 818-501-4109.
The international line from anywhere in the world.
Contact the AT ⁇ T operator and tell her you want to call 800-893-0903.
And again, I will assign a number to each prediction.
So who will get the honor of making prediction number one for the year 2010?
And there's also sort of a general knowledge about how many nuclear devices Israel has buried in the desert.
unidentified
Right.
But I think that on that, answer that question about them saber-rattling and why they're not going to do anything too major is that Russia is going to talk to them quietly behind closed doors and say, you're not going to do this.
I think that's where that will end up with them, and they'll back off.
I think there's no doubt terrorism is going to be on the rise, and it's going to probably, you know, if I were to make a prediction, I'm not going to, but I think it's going to sort of escalate, but then de-escalate from the big 911 kind of attack down to smaller, kind of thing you're talking about, subway attacks, maybe individual aircraft, that kind of thing.
unidentified
That's right.
Remember in Japan in the early 90s when this terrorist man, I cannot remember his name, made a move on the Tokyo subway.
It's going to be a typical to the same thing.
And I would urge the United States and Homeland Security to tighten up those forces because it's going to be planned.
If it's not protected and guarded heavily, it's going to take a strong toll of human casualties.
Okay, Brian, you have the honor of prediction number three.
unidentified
Terrific.
Well, listen, I'm not prone to vision.
You know, I'm not a psychic or anything.
But about five years ago, I had a vision where I actually was awake and my eyes were closed, and I saw a city.
I was flying in this vision.
I saw like a flicker of light in my eyes, and then I looked at the light, and I saw like a city underneath.
And it was like shaped, all the streets were shaped like bicycle, like a bicycle wheel.
And I looked up and there were seven to ten skyscrapers up the front, and I saw like a square-shaped building, looked like a picture frame, and then I saw a bomb go up, like a hydrogen bomb.
And I've been following it on the internet.
I've been using Google Earth for like the last five years, and I've watched the skyline in Paris form this exact picture.
And this year, I looked at it earlier this year, a couple months ago, and I saw that the skyscrapers that I saw in this vision are there now.
And there was an atomic bomb went off in Paris.
And I not only thought, I saw it three times.
I had the same vision three times, but from different perspectives.
I mean, look, if it descends all the way to the barter system, and I'm not saying that couldn't happen, but that would be pretty near economic doomsday.
unidentified
It would be equality for the people who can't have cash.
I mean, it's like the first thing you have to do is turn your radio off, right?
So if NSPD 51 was initiated, what would happen?
unidentified
I think it's just nicknamed Dictator Directives.
And it's a kind of a Bush got it put through in 2007.
And it's in case of an emergency, natural or man-made, president can take over without going through Congress and initiate whatever martial law, whatever executive orders.
My prediction is that one of the top stories of 2010 will be a black American male is going to receive a double hand transplant, and the donor is going to be a white male.
As you know, there is a virtual epidemic of autism, and nobody really knows what it is.
There are a lot of people who think it's immunizations.
Of course, doctors say that's nonsense.
But, you know, it was interesting as Asia began to get her immunizations, just to play it safe, instead of letting them, you know, load her up as they tend to do with two or three at a time, I said, you know, what's the harm in spreading it out?
So that's, as a parent, we discussed it, I discussed it with a doctor, and we sort of spread them out a little bit more, and she's through just about all of her immunizations now.
She's now at 2.5 years old.
And by the way, once again, there is a picture taken at Christmas of Asia on the website, and you can click on it and then click again, and it gets bigger.
So take a look.
That's now Asia at 2.5 years of age.
If there would be help for autism, that would indeed be a wonderful thing.
I don't know if you followed it in the news or not, but we had martial law imposed not here in Manila, but down on Mindanao during the Apatuan massacre, the alleged killing of a lot of people.
It was 57 they finally settled on.
It was kind of a it wasn't an al-Qaeda deal at all.
It was a political family feud, a political family feud.
And so the president here imposed martial law down there for it only went on for, what was it, two or three weeks, something like that.
But it was weird.
I mean, you know, I was here in the Philippines last time there was martial law.
I was here when Marcos was here a very long time ago.
And so this would be the second time I was in country during martial law.
And you didn't notice any change here in Manila, of course, but down there it was pretty rough.
Yeah, last spring I had a vision, and I've never had anything like this happen to me before.
This is Andy from Alcard, Illinois.
Yes, Andy.
Anyway, I went to lay down and take a nap, and all of a sudden it was like a video turned on.
And I just pictured this my son-in-law running into the bedroom saying, Dad, Dad, get up, get up.
Do you need to see this?
And I walk out, you know, go running to the front door.
And the ground is just opening up and geysers of dirt and debris shooting out of the ground.
And the sky is just bright orange.
And clouds are just flying by.
And it was, I thought maybe it was that spring, but because my grandson looked to be about the age he is now.
And I believe it was this spring.
Just massive earthquakes and just the sky was bright orange.
And it was just something massive going on.
And then about three nights later, my wife and I both had the identical dream that we were in town and a particular hospital that we both used to work at was collapsing.
And I think they're tied together.
But, you know, we both had the identical same dream.
My prediction is that after a particularly deadly attack on a freighter off the coast of Somalia, an international force of international Military Force will launch massive strikes into Somalia and take out the bases of the Somali pirates.
Yeah, it's getting a little old, isn't it, these attacks by the pirates?
unidentified
Yeah, and I have a feeling that all it's going to take is one particularly deadly attack, or even worse, an RPG taking out a super freighter and creating an environmental disaster.
And I think that will turn the tide, and there will be a massive airstrike and so forth.
I read this sort of joke thing about Somalia not very long ago.
I don't know if you heard it, where there was a cruise company that would guarantee, what they'd do is they'd cruise by Somalia fully armed, and you could get a gun, machine gun, or any kind of gun you wanted, and they would guarantee to cruise by the coast of Somalia as many times as it took to get some pirates to attack, and then you could shoot at them.
unidentified
Yeah, I heard that, too.
I didn't realize it was a joke.
I thought it was one of those Oh, seriously.
I remember hearing that, too, and I remember thinking it was one of these extreme tourist things.
My prediction is that we will have the biggest one-year drop in the financial markets that will be caused by a default of one or more states going bankrupt, basically.
Yeah, but I mean, is it going to be an intelligent species?
unidentified
It's going to be something more than just like a one-celled animal.
It's going to be something that they just think to themselves, how did we, you know, how, you know, they're going to say, why didn't we find this before?
You know, it's not going to be on Galopolis.
I mean, it's not going to be on the island where it's all isolated.
It's just going to be something that comes along and it's going to be a positive, wonderful thing for 2010.
It just, to me, it was just one of these things where I just, I do a lot of out-of-body work.
But this was one where I was just sitting there and the movies are going on and then I'm thinking to myself, oh my gosh, you know, something is going to happen really Big, and then I thought that.
I didn't see a vision, but I just, it was in one of my times when I was meditating and I was feeling very serene.
Better than one-celled, but apparently not fully intelligent, not threatening to us.
She says it'll be a wonderful event.
Predictions for the year 2010.
That's what we're up to from Manila in Southeast Asia and the Philippines.
I'm Art Bell.
We own the night.
Hi, everybody.
I'm Art Bell.
For George Nori, who is taking the week off, I guess.
I've heard he's taking a week off, and that's nice.
You certainly need it when you do the show every night of the week.
We're doing predictions for 2010.
2010.
Can you believe it already?
2010.
Sarah in Fairbanks, Alaska.
Hey, Sarah, says, hey, Art, I'm going to suggest to the TSA, Transportation Agency, right, that they incorporate medical testing into their full-body scans.
It'd be great to get a mammogram on the way to Mexico.
Of course, you'd probably want to get the results on the return flight.
National security slash Obamacare.
Not bad, Sarah.
All right, reviewing a few more of 2009 predictions.
Number 26, the end of March, unions fall.
Bonk.
Well, they didn't, really, did they?
And again, you can correct me on Fast Blast if I get these wrong.
I prayed and prayed forever to get through to you, and I didn't know what number to call, so I had to press my cell phone on recorder to get your phone number because I can't remember because I got to say it.
Okay, well, that would bring a lot of people back to religion.
There's no question about it.
I mean, people getting up out of wheelchairs and suddenly walking, it would be a miracle that I think a lot of people worldwide could look at and suddenly begin to believe.
You know, you've got to sometimes wonder in modern times why we don't have a miracle like that, a worldwide miracle.
Wouldn't it have been amazing to be alive?
I guess my greatest wish for time travel, for something that I could do that would be in the paranormal realm, would be to return to the time of Christ, to be able to see some of this for myself, and to see some of the miracles that are documented in the Bible.
And that would make believing so easy.
I'm kind of on the side of science.
I'm not a disbeliever, but I am kind of a scientist.
And for somebody deeply embedded in science, it makes belief, it makes faith a difficult thing.
So to be able to actually go back and see it would be amazing.
Or, barring that, to have a modern worldwide miracle that could suddenly restore faith for so many people would be just absolutely incredible.
All right.
To the first time caller line, you are on the air.
My prediction is that sometime in the springtime, which would be between March 21st and June 21st, a tornado outbreak will happen in the United States that will surpass the super outbreak of 1974 of 148 tornadoes in two days.
With global warming and the collision of hot and cold air that we always get in the Midwest in the springtime, starting in the south and then moving up toward the Midwest part of the country.
Yeah, it's entirely possible.
unidentified
They say that an event like that could, it's possible that it could happen every 100 years or so, a 100-year storm, but you never know.
As I said, I kind of think that what is going to happen is that there are going to be fewer of the very large 9-11 kind of attacks and that we're going to get more of the smaller, you know, mall kind of attacks where you have people with automatic weapons, that sort of thing.
And a lot of people wonder why that actually has not yet occurred.
Well, anyway, that's prediction number 18.
Okay, to our, well, let's make it east of the Rockies.
And I do not want this to be like you think I'm stealing from you, like plagiarism or anything, but I think there's going to be a superstorm, but nothing like your book.
I think it's going to be like a hurricane or a typhoon that doesn't quit.
Well, that would actually break some of the laws of physics.
If, for example, a typhoon or a hurricane hit land, substantial land, and were to keep growing, it would break the laws of physics because a typhoon or a hurricane needs the moisture to continue.
So how would that happen?
unidentified
Well, you've had James McKinney on before in the past, Professor James McKinney.
In other words, it just keeps growing, even though it hits land.
That's a fascinating.
These really are pretty good predictions.
Congratulations, particularly on the first hour.
It's gone very well indeed.
We are predicting for the year 2010 immediately ahead from Manila in the Philippines.
I'm Art Bell.
Here I am.
Good day, everybody.
How you doing?
Or good night or afternoon, whatever it is, wherever you are.
I am following the instructions of many fast blasters who want me to correct prediction number 33, a bloodbath on the Mexican border by April.
I'll give that a ding instead of a bonk because I know there was a lot of trouble on the Mexican border.
It continues, in fact.
And enough of you felt that there was enough of it to justify a ding, and therefore number 33 is a ding, improving the average at least a little tiny bit.
Not a very good year last year for this year.
Number 37, stock market under 7,000 and car companies crash.
I'm going to give that a ding.
I don't know that it specifically got below 7,000.
I can't remember what the low was, but what I do recall is that the car companies crashed.
That's fair to say.
Number 38, July 24th will bring world peace.
Sorry, that's a bonk.
Number 39, North America Union declared this year.
Bonk.
No, didn't happen.
Number 40, hotel fire, a high rise with a high loss of life.
That also, thankfully, is a bonk.
And number 41, a blimp will crash.
And as far as I know, that's a bonk.
And again, if I get these wrong, I'll look at number 42.
That's such an easy bonk.
U.S. government overthrown.
That's definitely a bonk.
All right, well, I'll stop there.
In a moment, we will continue with predictions for the year 2010.
And listen to me now.
These need to come from your psychic center, not political hopes, hates, wishes, whatever, but real predictions for the year 2010.
Only one prediction per caller, only one caller for the two days.
No predictions of political assassination, please.
Predictions only on air, and they're numbered.
No email, no fast blast predictions, and it's all done with open lines.
In other words, just call and let it ring.
I will answer, and that way you're not charged for trying, as you would be if you're put on hold.
So that's the deal.
Predictions for 2010.
We continue in a moment.
As I do every year, I would like to register a complaint about cell phones.
Now, while I personally own a cell phone and actually like them, I really want to complain.
And here is my complaint.
They sound like crap.
You know, most cell phones really sound crappy.
And it need not be away.
Here's what I would like to request of the cell phone industry.
As a talk show host and one who takes calls on the air and has to put up with these cell phones, and I understand that the world is converting to cell phone use, I would like to request that the cell phone companies try to lobby the government for more spectrum availability.
Now, let me explain what this means.
Right now, they have so little spectrum available that they make the signal very narrow.
Let's see if I can get you to understand this.
The signal is very narrow.
It's digital, of course, but very narrow.
And it would be possible for cell phone companies with more bandwidth to make the cell phones actually sound good.
Just about as good as a real connected line type telephone.
So since the world truly is converting to cell phone use, let's make more spectrum available and let's have the companies not be so stingy with the amount of bandwidth that they assign to a cell phone call.
Now, if you would do that, they would suddenly sound good.
And I'll just bet you, instead of being able to hear a pin drop, sort of with a fuzzy little, you'd actually hear a pin drop.
So that's my hope and my wish that cell phone companies would get more bandwidth and would use it so that the calls actually sound good.
That would take cooperation of the cell phone companies and the various governments.
All right, I have a prediction that the, I guess I'm not sure if he's a producer, but the show UFO Hunters with Bill Burns will develop a, I guess, a sister show or maybe an additional live segment.
I'm not sure which it is.
And what it'll do is people will call in live like they are doing on your show, Coast to Coast, with their direct UFO stories.
And they will, you know, take them as they hear them and investigate them whether or not they think they should be or not.
But it'll add a new flavor to the show.
And I absolutely love that show.
I do believe they're stepping on toes because they're playing the show differently, not as continuous as they used to.
So I do suspect that they're getting bullied.
But as a result, I think they will get extra funding.
And for 2010, they will have a new segment, a live segment, or possibly just a sister show.
Well, I don't know if it's very good, but it's interesting.
Develops a new segment, UFO honors.
Well, that was a fairly decent cell phone.
Most of them are not.
I guess some are a little bit better than others, but as a general rule, as I said, they're allocated very little bandwidth, and they're digital and squeezed.
And that's what makes them sound that way.
If they give them more bandwidth, then the competition could begin.
And, you know, the companies could start to say ours sound better.
Not that they, you know, can you hear me now?
Can you hear me now?
Well, yeah, I hear you, but you sound like you're underwater or something.
Well, I was stationed at Area 51 when I was in the Air Force for 11 and a half years.
And I read Admiral Byrd's diary, his one supposedly that was missing.
But this one here was the original.
And I read it, and I read the message that was given to him by the Arianians of the hollow earth, of the city of Eden.
And also, when I was back when I was in the Air Force, just before I got out, I was up in the Arctic doing on my last mission flying between 25 and 30,000 feet above the Arctic Circle.
And then we saw, something else caught our vision, and we looked and we saw a formation of six glowing disc-shaped craft going in and out of this opening.
So, yeah, we believe we know it's there.
We just have to prove it and rediscover it.
And I know it's going to happen by September of next year.
It seems to me to have this kind of spiritual awakening, there would have to be some truly incredible event that would cause people to begin to wake up.
Or do you think it just would happen naturally?
unidentified
Well, I'm a strong believer in that our angels, our personal, individual guiding angels, are able to break barriers to reach us.
And usually in times of great distress, we reach more to spiritual things like God, religion, prayer.
And that's when we can hear our angels and they'll be able to communicate much more efficiently with us.
It's basically going to be a real interesting effect on the political system.
There's going to be a group of people that are going to come out of nowhere, and they're basically going to volunteer to take a lie detector test on a regular basis in order to give us peace of mind.
And these people are going to go zooming right into office.
We're going to have basically a whole new government full of honest people by 2012.
And it starts in 2010 with the elections coming up because there's going to be a lot of honest people that are going to give us peace of mind by saying, you know what?
I'll take a lie detector test.
I know they're not 100% reliable, but neither are congressmen and senators.
If 2% to 10% of the population can fool a lie detector, all that means would be that 2% to 10% of the population, I mean, the Congress and the Senate would be able to put one over on us.
One of our military personnel in Afghanistan is going to steal a body of one of the terrorists there after a terrorist attack and bury the body in a pigskin.
It's going to become well known, and terrorism is going to drop off.
And another soldier is going to do the same thing.
And it's just going to stop the terrorists dead in their tracks because they won't get their 77 virgins.
And they're going to get the idea because at the turn of the century, the American folks...
Yeah, well, they did the same thing in the Philippines back at the turn of the last century.
But what I wanted to predict was in 2010, whatever is supposed to happen by that Mayan calendar in 2012 will happen in 2010 because I truly believe that our calendar runs two years behind the Mayan calendar.
Let me see.
And in essence, next year is actually 2012 by the Mayan calendar.
What do you think, just a matter of curiosity, will actually happen as a result of the Mayan calendar date coming up?
unidentified
Well, I'm not exactly sure, but I've heard so many different stories, but the one that really stuck to me, I heard a lady speaking on you guys' show, and she said it was going to be a dimensional shift.
In other words, when the Earth supposedly have a polar shift, it was actually going to be a dimensional shift.
And the people, all of the, per se, good people were going to, you know, that were pure in heart and everything, they're going to transfer over to the new earth.
And the people that's evil and bad and warmongers and stuff like that, they were going to remain here and suffer the wrath of God.
Yeah, so I was under the assumption, not assumption, but I was under the information that this, the impression that this was just a wildcard line I could call in.
Okay, my prediction is that I think within a few weeks of the new year that there's going to be chaos in the United States.
I think there's going to be, I'm predicting a major either terrorist or war is going to unfold, and oil is going to go up, and it's going to totally shut down our economy, and it's going to happen really quickly within the next month.
Well, you know, that one caller you had that said a bunch of terrorist activities within the United States, like shooting, I believe that is a possibility.
I think it's going to happen when we attack Iran or when Israel hits Iran.
My prediction is that Planet X will become completely visible for all to see, and that will maybe be the thing that brings the enlightenment to everybody.
Well, there's a lot of them I don't like, but, you know, I live with it.
unidentified
I'm going to have to predict that in the year 2010, we're going to find out that the terrorists and the CIA, well, all the government officials, we're going to all be working together for the New World Order.
You know what shocked me, and it really does shock me, that they now are allowing same-sex marriages in Mexico City, and that's just amazing.
I mean, that's a predominantly Catholic country, and for them to have done that just blew me away.
unidentified
Yeah, and like, that's why, like, I wouldn't think that this would happen because it seems like everything's becoming so much more accepting, but I think that it won't be the government necessarily that'll be anti-gay or whatever.
It's going to be, like, like the population, the masses.
I'll tell you, here in the Philippines, which I believe is 87% Catholic, it's a very, very Catholic country, the number of gay people here seems to be astronomical.
There are so many gays here in the Philippines.
And what is amazing, and I'm scratching my head over it, is that they are accepted without the blink of an eye.
Now, how does that happen in such a Catholic country?
I just, I don't get it.
This is a young country that I'm in.
The average age here, I think, is about 22 years old.
That's a nationwide average.
So it's a very young country.
And there are, or there seem to be, an astronomical number of gay people here, which is...
Boston gets the big hurricane, probably with a girl's name.
And if you can have it as a roly, I hope it's bonk, bonk, bonk each year, but it's going to come, and it'll have to be the perfect storm with the Yankees, the Red Sox, and the Patriots in Boston.
So the president moves toward the legalization nationwide, I guess, of marijuana, an industry that would bring half a trillion dollars to the economy.
I'm Art Bell.
That's where I am, all right.
Manila, Philippines, other side of the world.
From most of you, it is and continues to be an absolutely amazing feat that Premier Radio is able to accomplish to bring, to allow me to sit here on the other side of the world and do a long-form talk show.
It's just, it's astounding.
Really, truly astounding.
All right, let's look at a few more of the predictions made last year for this year.
Number 43, George Norrie marries this year.
And that's a bonk.
That's a bonk, Although the year's not quite done yet.
You never know.
Number 44: In Phoenix, a rain gauge measures 8 tenths of an inch or more five times during that year.
You know, I have no way of knowing whether that's true or not.
I'm going to just put a question mark by that.
Maybe somebody in Phoenix can tell me.
Number 45, artificial manipulation of oil prices.
Well, you know, I'm going to give that a ding.
I think that that would be a whole nother show, but I'm going to give it a ding.
Number 46, auto production cuts by one half.
Auto production cuts by one half.
I'm going to ding that.
In the U.S., I believe that might be true.
Certainly might be true.
Number 47, NAFTA and GATT changes by Obama.
I don't think that there have been any major changes yet by the Obama administration in that area, so we'll give that a bonk.
Number 48, Obama brings peace to the Middle East.
That's an easy bonk.
Nobody does that.
Number 49, America turns its back on Israel.
Hmm.
No, I'm going to give that a bonk as well.
Number 50, all currency loses value.
That's going to be a bonk as well.
That certainly has not happened.
And I guess one more, I'll take one more.
Terrorism in Northern Europe within one month.
That means within a month of the new year.
And I think that might be a ding, tentative ding.
Now, if I'm wrong on these, I'm just trying my best to recall.
But I think that's a tentative ding.
All right.
In a moment, we'll return to predictions for the year 2010, reminding you, folks, that you only get one prediction for both shows, so place it very, very carefully.
No predictions of political assassination predictions only on the air.
Numbered predictions that we will review next year.
Only ones that are done right here on the air during our open line, no screener type show.
Coming right up.
Once again, predictions for the year 2010, directly now ahead.
So the prediction is that 35% of pest control operators in the United States will use non-toxic pest control solutions in their businesses by the end of 2010.
Gosh, I'm not sure, but just I think it's going to be in the realm of affecting people that have some sort of paralysis.
And maybe I don't know if it's going to be able to re-stimulate the nervous system or help nervous system regrow, but something that's going to be able to help paralysis people get movement back.
You know, they've printed so much money that nothing good can come of it that I can see.
But, you know, if I had been in their place, I don't know what else they could have done.
I think if they hadn't done it, if they hadn't gone ahead and printed all this currency and done all this bailing, or at least a lot of the bailing, that we would have had a severe depression.
I know you're a Chargers fan because you've always kept track of them, and they've always, every last few years, they always just get so far, and they just don't do it.
And if you've been watching Phillip Rivers, Phillip Rivers has just been fantastic this year.
I've been, I know you often ask where they come from.
I dream very vividly, and I've been seeing a major blackout in a city that feels like Las Vegas to me.
Like there's a major power blackout like there was in New York a couple of years ago that covered a stretch of the country.
So I'm going to say my prediction is for a power blackout, a major power blackout like that in the southwest part of the U.S. But I think what I've noticed is it's entirely possible.
So I saw that, but I figured I thought it was a mixed bag because I think it's going to be like a long power blackout that might last like days and cause a lot of problems and chaos.
But I think from that, we're going to realize that we need to pay more attention to what's going on with our electric grid.
A lot of the casinos, of course, have generators, and they'd fire them up, and a lot of the people sitting playing would barely even notice what's going on.
On the international line, you are on air.
Hello.
unidentified
Oh, hi, Art.
You might remember for the years I claimed a big streak, 10-0, 11-0, 12-0, to name me a few.
I said an actress murdered, a wrestling tragedy, Chris Benoit, race riots, and I said it'll be a year for school shootings.
This year, my streak ended, I believe, but I wanted to kind of plead my case.
Let's see how your streak, well, of course, your streak is over, but perhaps you can reestablish it.
It's prediction time for the year 2010.
And these have been some very, very intriguing predictions thus far.
If you've not managed to get yours in, hang in there because we're doing another show tomorrow night, so there'll be another opportunity from Manila in the Philippines, Southeast Asia.
I'm Art Bell.
We'll be right back.
We're doing the annual prediction show tonight and tomorrow night.
So if you have a prediction for the year 2010, a well-thought-out psychic prediction, we want to hear from you.
And by the way, I've got email.
If you'd like to email me, I do my best to answer emails, but getting to them all is very, very difficult.
I've really been putting some effort into it.
But if you want to email me, I'm Art Bell, A-R-T-B-E-L-L at mindspring.com.
That's A-R-T-B-E-L-L at MindSpring, M-I-N-D-S-P-R-I-N-G.com.
More predictions for the year just ahead in a moment.
I guess there's a group of people calling themselves the goons listening who want to shout out.
I'm sorry, we can't do that kind of thing because then everybody would want it.
It's just the way it is.
We're doing predictions for the year 2010, and this is your opportunity, but not your last opportunity, because we'll be back tomorrow night to finish it up.
And then, of course, it becomes sealed again in the Dole Family Vault.
And my prediction for 2010 is that in the wake of the recent terror attacks, it will force the government to tip its hands and reveal what has up until now been a top-secret form of transportation.
I'm not sure if it'll be teleportation or just a smaller form of really fast transportation that will basically eliminate the need for commercial airline passengers.
Actually, you know, I read the book first, and I really enjoyed that.
And then the movie, wouldn't that be neat?
I mean, just like that, and you're wherever you want to be, or if you've got a picture of it or whatever, you can remember, and then you're there, top of the Edifle Tower.
Okay, well, my prediction for 2010 is that as the geovibrational vibrations of our planet, the electromagnetic vibrations that everything that has matter in it puts out, as it increases, the harmonic vibrations of people themselves are going to increase along with it because we're all part of that field.
We live within it.
We are an integral part.
We all flow together.
And as that increases, the latent abilities that people have are going to start coming out, such as psychic abilities.
People are going to start being more open to the influences around them and things going on.
And I'm not quite saying that it's going to come out in the open.
Not everybody's going to be comfortable with what they're going through.
There's going to be people whose inner vibrations aren't quite up to the correct level.
But as most of us start getting up there, we're going to start seeing us as a species start to come around that corner.
Okay, well, it'll be a prediction number rounded off at 50 for you.
What do you think is going to happen?
unidentified
50.
The front page of all newspapers will read, at least in the United States, Obama gets Osama.
Huh.
You know, it very well could be true.
Yeah.
But right now, what's happening, it's horrible.
Obama said the worst thing.
He wants to shut down the war.
And you remember the military complex, industrial complex, they're more powerful than the president.
So he's up against a big team right now.
They're probably going to really try to force him out of the White House if he really tries to shut down this war because there's trillions of dollars at stake.
So that should be some satisfaction for the military-industrial complex.
unidentified
But what he's doing, he's building up the forces so he closed in on Osama bin Laden, shut down their network, decapitate the snake, so to speak, and then get the hell out of there.
That's what he's doing.
He wants to rush in there, take care of that, and get out of there.
Yeah, you know, that is a very likely outcome in 2010, and certainly he's going after him and them in Afghanistan.
And we should have done that a long time ago.
We instead, of course, went to Iraq, and I won't really comment on that, but I mean, going to Afghanistan and neighbors, because you know we're doing that.
When they run away to adjacent countries, we always go after them.
We may not publicize that, but it occurs that's the right thing to do.
Why didn't we do it before?
As far as I'm concerned, it's the right thing to do.
I don't know if this would fall under the good prediction or bad prediction, but my prediction is that George Norrie will be replaced as the host of Coast to Coast AM this year.
And the law enforcement is going to be trying to Washington to give them grants and more money so they can hire more officers and everything to take care of it.
And just in the last couple years, there was an attempt to revive it up on the Lakota Nation.
And there were some very sad things that they felt was a consequence of it.
But it's going to come off reservation.
It's going to be among young white people, teenagers, 20-somethings.
And this is part of a bigger prophecy of Indigenous people in North America of the return of the ghost children.
The buffalo have already been returned.
There is a designated white buffalo woman that has appeared to the Lakotas, and she has come with the buffalo, and she has carried the sacred pipe during the sun dance in the previous summer.
