Art Bell’s Predictions 2010 episode features wild calls like a comet passing Earth (John Enrino), 9/11 evidence leaks, and a cashless U.S. shift (John from Roseburg). Callers speculate on Israel-Iran conflicts, ozone-layer gas releases (Blair), and a Mars mission announcement, while Bell dismisses some—like the New World Order or a trillion-dollar train project—as unlikely. A caller predicts a nuclear reactor detonation without cause, and another ties the Saints’ Super Bowl win to apocalyptic signs. The night’s 110 sealed predictions reveal a mix of fringe theories and plausible trends, underscoring Bell’s platform as a hub for both conspiracy musings and mainstream curiosity. [Automatically generated summary]
From the Southeast Asian capital city of the Philippines, Manila, over here on the other side of the world, from the majority of you.
I bid you good morning, good afternoon, good evening, whatever the case may be, in whatever time zone you reside in.
I'm Art Bell for George Norrie, who's got the week off.
And this, ladies and gentlemen, is prediction night number two, and the last one.
After tonight, we take the predictions made, seal them up in the Bell family vault, and drag them out again next year to see how you did.
Now, last night, I thought, was full of some pretty darn good predictions.
Interesting predictions, as opposed to the previous year.
I don't know, just sort of offbeat and interesting.
Now, we do have rules.
There's rules for everything in life, right?
Before I get to that, there is a new photograph up there.
I don't know whether it's made it to the Coast website or not, but it is a picture of myself and Asia by a great big Christmas tree in an area, a beautiful, beautiful area called Surendra, not very far away from us.
So you might take a look at that when you have an opportunity.
Not as cool as the close-up yesterday of Asia, but the two of us together anyway.
The New Year was celebrated a little more than 14 hours ago here.
And the custom here in the Philippines is to go out at midnight and it's fireworks.
You know, like July 4th for us.
I mean, it's fireworks.
When I say fireworks, you know, we live in the middle of a very urban area here with a lot of very large buildings.
And fireworks here, a number of people in the Philippines always die.
And this New Year's, unfortunately, was no exception.
And there are fires because everybody sets off big fireworks.
And I'm telling you now that what it sounded like going outside last night at about 11 o'clock as we headed toward the local display was nothing short of what it sounded like a few days prior to the fall of Saigon.
I mean, I mean it sounded like a war zone out there.
It was pretty impressive.
Fireworks, big ones going off everywhere.
I guess they're relatively inexpensive over here.
You know, we're close to China and, by the way, about an hour's flight from Saigon.
So I never heard of Ho Chi Minh City of Saigon.
So it was really something.
And I realize that right now, the new year is sweeping across North America.
And I suppose it's a couple of hours away from the West Coast.
So sweeping across the middle part of America right now.
So what we're doing is a prediction show.
It's your opportunity to be a psychic or to be as psychic as you can.
And you never know.
You might bring up triple sevens and hit one right on the nose.
All I ask is that you give me a true psychic prediction, not something dredged up from your political hopes, hates, wishes, nightmares, whatever.
Don't do that.
You know, don't do that because I won't accept those.
Okay, that's a rule.
Only one prediction per caller per day.
This is day two.
So if you called yesterday, you're not allowed to call back today.
No predictions.
This is very important.
No predictions of political assassination.
As I mentioned, every year that used to happen until I started making it a rule.
And then the Secret Service would, you know, come knock on my door.
And I would say, I have no idea who it is.
This is a talk show.
And they would say, well, we have to investigate anyway.
And of course, if somebody were to make a prediction like that here, and then they would have to come to Manila to talk to me.
And, you know, those guys in suits with the bulges, they probably would be intensely unhappy after a 15-hour flight to get over to this side of the world.
And they really do do their duty, believe me.
So no predictions of political assassination.
I'd have to zap it out anyway.
Predictions only here on the air, which are numbered.
No predictions by email.
No predictions by Fast Blast.
Nobody slipping a note under my door.
Not that that can be done here, but none of that.
It's got to be on the air.
So everything's on the up and up.
But if you hit it, boy, you get the credit.
Now, this is going to be very important for tonight.
It's open lines.
And I realize that a substantial portion of the country is getting happy right now.
So I have a little talkaholic meter here.
And if you tip it too far when you call, you get disconnected.
Try and if you're going to party, just go ahead and party.
If you're going to be sober and make a prediction, then call me.
Anyway, that's kind of what we're going to try.
And I'm just going to hope that it's going to work.
It's open lines.
I'm not going to screen you through somebody back in California.
I'm going to just let the lines be the lines.
Now, let me give you the numbers.
I'm going to open the lines right now.
Remember, let it ring until it's answered.
The cool part of that is that you don't get charged for just ringing.
So, you know, if you don't get through right away, just try again.
Here are the numbers.
West of the Rockies, 1-800-618-8255.
East of the Rockies, 1-800-825-5033.
First-time callers, and we love them.
Area code 818-501-4721.
The wildcard lines, we have many of them.
Area code 818-501-4109.
And if you're outside The country, the United States.
We have an international line for you.
Gee, I could call it, you know.
You get hold of the ATT operator and tell her you want to call 1-800-893-0903.
That's 1-800-893-0903.
So in a moment, we'll come back and review some of the predictions made for last year and launch into the predictions for the year that is now racing across North America.
Stay right there.
All right.
Continuing to review some of the predictions made for 2009, I'll begin where I left off.
Number 52, deflation worsens.
Deflation worsens.
That is going to be a ding, ding, ding.
It certainly did during the year.
53, in February, they thought, and I'm going to give them a little latitude on this one, a meteor hits a small area.
Well, we sure did have a meteor, didn't we?
It was in all the news, so I'm going to ding that, giving it a little latitude on time that happened during the year.
54, U.S. breaks into regional countries.
In other words, the U.S. breaks up.
Well, didn't do that yet.
Anyway, we'll call that a bonk.
55, Hoover Dam breaks due to an earthquake.
Thank God, that's a bonk.
56, the beginning of the end of the Mayan calendar.
Beginning of the end of the Mayan calendar.
Interesting.
But a bonk.
Number 57, armed rebellion in the United States.
Yikes.
Bonk.
58, the economy gets worse, but the World Bank saves us.
Number 73, unity in the United States by removal of illegal immigrants.
That's a bonk.
Number 74, Ramsey case news.
Ramsey case news.
You know, before I dinger-ponk that, on the illegal immigrant thing, if you've ever dealt with the USCIS, I probably shouldn't say this, but if you've ever dealt with the USCIS in any way in terms of trying to become a legal immigrant,
you will understand the absurdity of the whole process because those who walk across the border or swim across the border or however they illegally enter the United States are eventually inevitably granted asylum and given what others have to work their buns off to get and probably end up not getting.
In other words, legal immigrants, it's a very big sore point with me and a lot of other people.
Immigration really, really, really needs reform.
And that's not to say there aren't a lot of good people working it, but it's just such a big government bureaucracy like everything else that, frankly, walking across the border is a process that probably is easier than attempting to do anything legal.
It's a sad situation.
That's how bad it is.
That's really how bad it is.
And I'm certainly not encouraging people to walk across the border, but I'm telling you, immigration needs reform.
And I think even those who work in it know that.
Number 74, Ramsey Case News.
I don't think there was anything too serious.
Bonk.
75, New mechanical toys.
Well, that's going to be a ding.
Of course, there are new mechanical toys.
Ding, ding, ding.
And 76 Obama tested soon.
Well, sure.
Ding, ding, ding.
Every president gets tested very quickly.
This president was no exception.
All right.
We're now going to proceed.
You see, last year was fairly dismal, frankly, in terms of the success rate.
Hopefully, this year will be better.
We're going to begin with number 56, and I think we'll start right here on the first-time caller line.
I'll tell you what, if something like that happened, if there was actually a small to medium tsunami and it washed ashore a new species, you would be triple sevens all the way.
And we'd have to have you on the show for, I don't know, four hours and explore your mind.
unidentified
Yeah, this is something I had to, you know, I had to reach deep within myself to come up with this.
So I don't know if I could do it again.
I don't know if I could pull it off again, but I think it's a ding next year, Art.
I think that Bigfoot, there will be undeniable proof that there are Bigfoot or Big Feet, however you want to say, living in Arizona, Arizona, California desert.
And I think that there's a real good possibility that Area 52 will be broken wide open by a young journalist.
50.
And the fact that they are maybe breeding these things underground out there will come to light.
You think the enemy, and you look again, and it's Bigfoot.
Oh, my God.
From Manila in the Philippines, I'm Art Bell.
Coast to Coast AM continues in a moment.
Here I am.
A lot of people are saying they can't see the new photograph of myself in Asia.
Well, it'll probably take the website a few minutes to grab the new picture from the place where I put it, which is how it works.
And so that eventually, if you check back in the next hour or so, I would imagine it will show up.
All right, we are doing predictions for the year 2010, now rapidly approaching the West Coast.
And we'll do predictions throughout this show, then seal them up for the rest of the year.
Remember, only one prediction per caller and no predictions of political assassinations and other rules that I won't bother going over again right now.
It all continues in a moment.
All right, here we go.
Let's just sort of launch right into it.
Let's go to the...
If I miss a line, it's because they're not labeled over here.
But I feel if it isn't, you know, the beginning of the year, mid-year, the end of the year, sometime this year we will have to pay notice to some major changes.
Wouldn't that be something if Madman came back and claimed that he did time travel and then he made it back?
So far, my concerns about time travel are pretty serious because, well, as I mentioned, most of those who claimed to be able to time travel, there was even a Ph.D. who did it, and they're gone.
They're just gone.
You know, it makes you think, I mean, suddenly gone.
And we did some serious investigation trying to find them.
A lot of predictions are kind of like gloom and doom and that kind of thing and kind of like disasters, but I have one that will actually be kind of one that'll be cause for celebration.
Okay.
I think that 2010 will finally be the year that we in the United States will get our 51st state.
You know, we should establish some kind of prize, seems to me, for somebody who hits something.
You know, the real triple seven prediction, that kind of deal.
What I will tell you is this.
If we get somebody who hits something just astronomically, unbelievably, remotely possible and yet hits it, we'll have them on as a guest and explore their mind and see what else they know.
I mean, there really are, you know, there are people out there that are capable of doing this kind of thing.
Now, how many of them get thrown the lines, I don't know, but there are people, you know, very capable of accurate predictions of the future.
Okay, let's see.
West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
Good morning.
unidentified
Hello, Art Bill.
Jordan calling from Victorville here in the high desert, listening to you on 960KIXW.
So if there really is time travel, in other words, the future people understand that the collider could be the end of everything if a black hole eats Earth and they keep sabotaging it.
It's actually a legitimate, if somewhat wild, scientific theory out there, and so you never know.
So you think, again, something is going to go wrong with the collider and stop it cold?
And I'll tell you what, if it happens, the theory that's getting stronger out there each time something happens to the collider is going to gain a great deal of credibility.
Anyway, I remember you running the raw there as far as radio is concerned.
I kind of have a gut feeling about something here.
Is that there's going to be a few more of them emails that are starting to kind of crack the lid on the global warning thing.
And what I think is going to happen is some of these are going to start actually start to blow the lid off of it.
And basically it's going to come up to my prediction, what it's going to come up to.
My prediction is when more of these emails start leaking out and start working onto this post of the global warming thing, that will eventually work towards an indictment of several key people in the cutting credit scheme,
which will probably make Bernie Madoff look like he got caught cheating in a poker game.
And I think Numero, who knows who's going to get indicted on this, is part of a global war.
For all these people that think global warming is baloney and pollution is, you know, there are a lot of people, frankly, religious people, who think that it's okay to treat the planet anyway at all because pretty soon it's all going to end and we're going to get raptured.
And so what difference do it?
unidentified
That's not right.
If you've seen the new movie Avatar, it's very environmental.
And I'm not going to really say good luck because if the ocean were truly to begin dying or the process were to accelerate, I don't think we'd be far behind.
I really don't think we could exist.
We could subsist without the ocean, without life in the ocean.
And it is at risk.
The green movement, by the way, for those of you who don't do a lot of world travel, is becoming worldwide.
It's here in the Philippines.
And you see it on TV.
You hear people talking about it.
Even here in the Philippines, they're beginning to separate trash and do all that kind of stuff.
So it's not just in the U.S., trust me, it's very, very much worldwide.
And nobody has ever talked about this, but I believe that when an earthquake is happening or a tsunami is coming, the animals start to leave the area before it hits.
That's right.
And I believe that because their hearts are sending out the same messages that a human heart can do.
Boy, I think you're on to a very, very important discovery, I would say.
Excellent.
It's number 66, and I think you're dead on.
I mean, really dead on.
I had never for a moment considered that, but maybe it's, let me take a moment out here.
I know that a lot of you who are not animal lovers will scoff at this, and I know that The Bible supposedly says that animals don't have souls, but I am convinced in my mind and my heart that animals have souls.
Dogs, cats, souls.
And so it would make sense that random event generators would be influenced by animals as well as human beings.
In fact, perhaps even more so by animals that operate on sensory input that is more sensitive than ours.
And so if that's true, that caller hit it right on the mark.
And I hope somebody involved in this research considers what was just said on Coast to Coast AM.
We're, oh, I don't know, about an hour's flight from Saigon, about an hour, maybe an hour and a half to Hong Kong, and close to Cambodia, and, you know, look it up on the map.
It's kind of an interesting and very, very exotic place.
And I'm right in the middle of it, here in Manila, in the Philippines, and taking your predictions for the year 2010.
Now, a lot older here than it is there.
Let's see.
Yes, getting very close to the West Coast now, I think.
It's getting a little hard to keep track of time, but one, two, three, four.
So about an hour away from the little less than an hour away from the West Coast, mountain states already have it, or just had it.
So happy new year.
We will continue taking predictions for the year 2010 and reviewing those made for 2009 in just a moment.
Well, okay.
Back to it we go, trying to get as many in as we can reasonably do.
And I have a nagging feeling that they're going to find out that from the mid-18th century, 19th century to the early 20th century, they're going to find that many silver and gold coins have been counterfeited.
I mean, people's wealth is, there's no question about it, at risk.
When the government begins printing the kind of money they had to print to keep us from going into a serious depression, there are side effects to that.
And one of them is inflation.
And when it begins, it's going to begin, I'm afraid it's going to be pretty bad.
And people's wealth, if they have not protected it in some way, is going to vanish.
And so gold is a place to go, as we know.
You can see it by the price.
And so people will always take advantage of other people.
And so you're right, sir.
unidentified
Well, bless you, sir.
And hope you have a good, and everybody else has a good year this year.
These really are seemingly well-thought-out predictions we're getting this year.
I'm very proud of you.
First time caller line, you are on the air.
Hello.
unidentified
Hi, this is Judy in Atlanta, and I would like to predict that there's going to be a major outbreak of a very virulent form of flu next year.
I don't know if it's going to be a variant of H1N1, but I feel like there's a very strong potential for a recombination event, especially now that it has been found in birds.
Not only that, but the guy who said the random event generators, if affected by human minds, would be affected by animal minds as well, perhaps even more heavily by animal minds.
That was a really cool thought.
unidentified
Yeah, it really was.
Well, I'm listening on KFI tonight.
They're back up.
I'm on the Mendocino Coast in Northern California.
Well, my prediction sounds similar to some that you've already gotten, but I've had this in what I would call flashes of premonition, where I just feel the Earth just move catastrophically.
And I'm talking like eight plus.
In Mendocino, off the coast, there is a, what do they call it, a methane plume under the water along the San Andreas right now.
The geysers have been going off.
And all the way to Reno, we've had all kinds of volcanic activity under Mount Rose, I believe it is, Steamboat Springs.
A lot of movement, as you know.
By the way, I used to live in Southern California.
It's very possible that the Mojave Desert could have one of those volcanic cones that are out there today off Old Route 66.
Those could reactivate.
And with all the activity, now with Puerto Rico also, Mount Mount Serrat is going off.
Does a feeling like that for somebody like yourself get strong enough that you would move?
unidentified
Well, you know, it seems like there's so much happening all over the place.
I mean, we've heard the predictions in Wyoming and just about where are you going to go?
Alaska had one in 1964.
And by the way, this feeling that I get, I had this feeling prior to the 89 earthquake that Jim Berkman predicted, the Big Bear Landersquakes in Southern California.
And when I was a kid, the 71 earthquake in New Hall, Saugus.
And it's just sort of like when you're going over whoopy-doos or when a plane is descending to land, you get that feeling in your gut.
Yeah, and as you know, Jim Berkel uses that as a major predictor.
And we've had a rash of more dogs and cats reported on our radio station up here, our community radio station, that are disappearing or people have found dogs and cats wandering where they're not supposed to be.
Again, that's a very, very interesting prediction.
And number 69, and I am certainly beginning to see what I would consider to be a trend for predictions for 2010, and that would be a West Coast earthquake, whether it's tsunamis or earthquakes.
A lot of people are talking about that.
A lot of people seem to feel it's going to occur.
So if there is a major earthquake along the West Coast, I think we can say that we've had enough predictions of it that it's meaningful, that the predictions are indeed meaningful.
It's a very, very interesting point you bring out.
I mean, to stop aging is going to soon be a possibility.
I just wonder what the, I mean, the implications are incredible.
The Earth couldn't support the numbers of people who would suddenly be around.
I suppose selfishly, those who had stopped aging would begin calling for birth control that would make China's control look like, you know, jaywalking.
unidentified
Well, it would change the mindset, this consciousness that we all feel.
It might unite us finally.
It's going to give the world hope and possibly destroy it at the same time.
If there was a medical breakthrough that stopped people aging and you were in control of it, would you release that or keep it secret?
unidentified
If I owned the rights to it, I might be inclined to keep it secret so I could at least make enough money to become a professional volunteer, which is my heart's desire.
But if I didn't own it and couldn't do that, then I would be really upset if it was not released to the public.
Although, I have to say, at my age, I'm ready to lay back and retire a little bit and do the things that I want to do and enjoy life in general.
And if I lived to be 800, I might have to keep working forever, you know?
I had a dream, a very vivid dream, a couple of weeks ago, and so I'm going to make this prediction.
I had a dream that there was a fairly major battle in Afghanistan near the Pakistani border, and that as a result of this battle, we finally learn the whereabouts of Osama bin Laden, and it is announced that he is deceased.
I don't remember, you know how you'll forget things when you wake up from a dream.
I don't really, I only have a sense that in the revelation it was that he had been dead for some time and that the information came to light because of someone that was captured or whatever records, documents that they had.
Or it may be that he was killed as a result of the battle.
But I just think we finally figure out where he is and that he will be deceased once we find out.
Now, my prediction, the trouble is I have these dreams, and my problem is in really trying to analyze what they mean.
So I will tell you it.
I'm out in the sunlight, and my seven neighbors are standing and watching like spider webs falling out of the sky, landing on the ground so it looks almost like frost.
I am going to interpret this as meaning the World Wide Web breaks down.
My prediction was going to be something in the order that they were going to announce their plans for a multinational venture that would go to Mars next year.
And first, I wanted to thank you for changing my life.
I mean, that seems so preposterous, but from just listening to your show, I have an incredible, cool, eclectic library.
I've been to the Monroe Institute twice for the Gateway, a Gateway and Lifeline program.
And if I wouldn't have discovered your program one night, I wouldn't have been able to do that.
Wow.
And I've been getting a feeling about fresh water wars.
And I think somewhere very soon down the road that when we talk about oil and resources that people will go and bring up arms for, it will be fresh water.
But they do have ballistic missiles for sure, and they can reach Israel.
So, yeah, I'm kind of with you.
I mean, if Israel attacked Iran and Iran responded with something nasty like, I don't know, a biological weapon, for example, Israel, I think, would pull out a nuke from their stash, and God knows where it would go from there.
unidentified
Unfortunately, what would happen with Iran attacking Israel?
Are their guidance systems accurate enough to hit Israel, or are they going to hit neighboring Arab countries?
They think that this is going to be the year that Iran is attacked by Israel.
And there aren't very many ways that works out well unless Iran simply does not respond.
And I don't see that happening.
Kind of like that lady.
I don't see that happening.
They would certainly do something.
And if it was in the biological arena, you could fully expect Israel to yank a nuke and send it their way.
So there sure are a lot of dangers that remain in the world, aren't there?
I guess there always will be.
How many of you think there will be a day that will come that truly will, you know, as every beauty pageant contestant would hope or wish, world peace?
Doesn't it strike you as more than strange that cattle mutilation has been going on now for years and years and years, decades, actually, and we've never discovered who's doing it?
I mean, that really is weird.
unidentified
Yeah, very weird.
And I was listening to the show the other night, and it was just weird how, you know, you had these old farmer guys coming on, and they were just like, you know, a couple of them were really mad, actually, you know, and they kind of brought that to my attention.
But I think that we're going to find out something this year what's going on with that.
And I'd like to understand how or what process you think could possibly bring world peace, considering the current situation with terrorists everywhere, terrorism increasing, people with bombs in their underwear and shoes and stuff like that.
Yeah, it would really have to be because the world has seen so much crime and violence and things don't seem to be getting any better.
And people don't need to really look at world peace in that particular way, in a bad way.
I think it would be in a great way.
Because I think the only intervention and the only thing that's going to bring about any type of world peace is not through mankind because they can bring about peace, but they can't stop death.
And they can't, you know, you're talking about the world being overcrowded.
And I think in a biblical way that could be accomplished.
I feel that people from Latin America are going to start, there's going to be a lot of murders coming from people from that part of the world up into North America.
I think it's going to be a lot of the drugs and stuff, but I believe that it's going to skyrocket the murders along the border and into the United States in the next year.
Now, of course, the drug situation along the border is one thing, and that may well escalate.
However, following the economic downturn, I don't know whether you're aware of this or not, but a lot of people who had been crossing the border into the United States, you know, searching for work and money actually began going the other way.
The economic downturn caused an awful lot of people to return to Mexico and other South American countries, those who were here illegally.
I wonder what happens when somebody goes the other way.
In other words, when they've been in the U.S. illegally for some substantial period of time, and then they go back to Mexico.
Well, probably not much, because my recollection of the Mexican border going in is that they just sort of wave you in like, you know, welcome to Mexico.
Going the other way is a little more difficult.
Well, from Manila in the Philippines, Southeast Asia, I'm Art Bell.
Here I am, and I would like to wish a Happy New Year to Mackay, a very good friend of Aaron's and married to Ben in Salem, Oregon, And to Sharon, her sister, in Arkansas.
So happy new year.
See, I can break the rule, I guess, because I'm running the show, so I can break the rule.
Anyway, happy new year.
We're doing predictions for 2010.
They are, without question, the most interesting predictions we've had in any year since we've been doing this.
Absolutely fascinating, and it's going to be an awful lot of fun to review them next year and see how well you did.
I guess I'll take a look at a few more of the predictions made last year for 2009.
Number 86 would be California does not sink into the ocean.
I know it's rather morbid, and I apologize for the morbidity of it.
But that leads me to my prediction.
I'm predicting whether it be a celebrity, a sports celebrity, or perhaps somebody who's an actor or an actress, somebody, you know, some celebrity of some sort is going to be exposed as engaging in acts of cannibalism this year.
I guess one could be more prone to think it would be a sports celebrity because isn't the myth that if you consume the flesh of a human, you also garner that individual's strength?
The number of earthquakes around the lake, and when we've been up there many times, if you just stop and look around, it really looks like the crater of a volcano.
What is it about this year that's bringing on these rational, interesting, well-presented Predictions.
I don't know.
I'm really meditating about this.
Maybe those who have been talking about a sort of a wake-up, a general wake-up, are hitting the mark.
I don't know.
It's really fascinating.
I mean, normally, when you would take these sorts of predictions, particularly on New Year's Eve, you would not expect the well-behaved audience that I'm obviously getting.
Let's go to the international line.
You're on the air.
Good morning.
unidentified
Hello, Art.
Well, it's very great to hear your voice all the way from the Philippines.
My name is Angela, and I'm calling from British Columbia.
Yes.
I predict that the word homosexual will be changed to the word homophile for the purpose and distraction of them who are now already consummated and married to the church.
As I mentioned yesterday, there's an abnormally large number of gay people in the Philippines, and it's just sort of part of the culture, and nobody blinks twice here.
It's very unusual, and yet it's an 87% Catholic country.
Just impossible to understand.
I appreciate your call.
Thank you very, very much.
And it does feel.
There's some different feel about this year, isn't there?
Some very different feel.
First time caller line, you're on the air.
Hello.
unidentified
Well, Happy New Year and Happy New Decade to you, Mr. Art Bell.
Take the one you think most likely to become true and lay it on me.
unidentified
Okay.
I had this sense that there was going to be, we need to keep an eye on the space sky, even though the TikTok world and news world would tell us that, oh, no, no, no, there's no money in the budget for space programs.
I saw an international global event to where, whether it's Russia or the United States or whoever that has their secretive space programs, that there was going to be an international global need to avert something,
whether it was an asteroid or a comet or space junk, or I even saw the International Space Station floating, and I didn't necessarily feel a terror, but I did feel a great concern that would all of a sudden make the news and all eyes would be watching.
And then I saw, and I don't know if it's actually in 2010, I know the space thing is real strong in 2010, but I have felt since 2005 there is going to be an asteroid that hits a water away.
There's some kind of water, and I see this going in.
I can't tell you if it's a full asteroid or a piece, but I know I see it and then I see a wall of water.
But for this year, for 2010, I asked my holy guides, and they said the whole space dynamic is going to be activated, and it will surprise everyone.
Well, it's interesting and ominous at the same time, because the only thing that I can imagine that would activate the space program in the way you're talking about is the looming possibility of an asteroid or something else about to hit Earth, something we tried to stop.
unidentified
There was an urgency to it, Art.
There was a sense of an urgency, and I tend to be an optimist because I just, you know, I believe the faith is important.
And I tend to be an optimist, and my overall sense of it when I ask my guides is, well, can you give me the outcome?
I mean, I don't want to see anything and put any energy to anything negative.
And they said, well, what you're going to be right on, not that I need to be right, but what's going to be right is the space, you know, like clamoring for the space.
I like all the people watching, what's going to happen with this?
You know, what's going to happen with this?
And then it felt like it was okay.
The thing falling into the water, I've sensed since 2005, and I don't feel I've got the full vision of that yet, but it keeps coming every year when I start to sit down with that.
And that would be, I think, the only real reason that we would suddenly have the space program come alive and suddenly get funded from an otherwise nearly empty fund.
We need it.
And by that, and I've said this for years, I, of course, was very much alive when we went to the moon.
And I saw what it did to the people.
I saw the hope and the right word.
I don't know.
There was sort of a national pride, a really, really big, overwhelming feeling of national pride.
And, you know, a trip to Mars or something big in space, I think, would bring that about again.
And it's something we could really use.
I don't know if the Obama administration's thinking that way.
Probably not because of the tight financial times.
But what price do you put on that kind of national pride and that hope that suddenly is put into so many people?
I don't think that a sudden release of methane, if that's what you're talking about, would be other than the methane gas.
unidentified
And basically, I think it has to do with the Jose Arguellis lensing effect that he wrote about in the Mayan factor.
When our solar system and sun lines up with the center of the galaxy, you know, the refracting light that goes through a magnifying glass upon magnifying glass from the center of our galaxy Mother Earth.
And I think it might replenish our ozone.
Matter of fact, I'm booking a flight yesterday to Cancun, Mexico to see Graham Hancock and Jose Arguellis at a conference.
I worked with him about 15 years ago when he came to Dallas, and he was being videotaped for the Eglectic Viewpoint when his Fingerprints of Gods book came out.
He and his wife, Santa, sat in my office before they were videotaped.
And really sweet man and very, very brave man, too.
I hope you're right, but I fear that any gas released from the ocean would be instead methane, which, depending upon your point of view with regard to global warming, could be an absolute disaster, a sudden methane release from the ocean.
You may recall, and I don't remember where it was, I think it might have been in Africa.
There was a release from a lake of methane that killed an entire village.
You know, everybody was asleep.
The methane was suddenly released, and then everybody was suddenly dead.
Okay, to the first time caller line yet again, you're on the air.
Hello.
unidentified
Hello.
My prediction is that in August, the worldwide financial collapse, or there will be a worldwide financial collapse, and it will be the prelude to getting a one-world currency.
Just that it'll either happen this coming August or the one after that, because everything that's happening in the world now is kind of leading all up to a one-world government.
And once they have a world currency, then it's a lot easier to say, okay, this is going to be a one-world government, because then they have the currency to back it up.
You know, I kind of wonder, if there became a one-world currency, how, for example, would the various conversions go?
In other words, you would have to convert dollars to the new one, pesos to the new ones, bats to the new ones, or the various currencies would have to convert to the world currency, and there would be vast differences in the exchange rate.
Well, there would have to be because the various currencies now against each other are all over the place in what they're worth.
unidentified
Well, if it collapses the whole world economy, then money is basically not going to be worth anything.
So that'll be their solution is to get a one-world currency so that it will give people some hope that things are going to get better and they're more likely to be able to do that.
For the first time, I think in all the years that we've been doing these predictions, I would give the audience to this point an A. And I mean, going back to school, we're talking Sirius A here.
It's been a fascinating session from Manila, the Philippine Islands, 7,107 islands here.
I'm Art Bell, and this is Coast to Coast AM.
Here I am.
Good morning, everybody.
It is a new year across the main continent racing toward Hawaii at the moment.
Sitting in my lap is none other than Miss Asia Bell, and trying to get her to say anything is tough, but we're going to give it a try.
Well, I've had stuff going through my head all year long, you know, and I don't blame you for thinking that this is the best prediction night that we've ever had.
Well, I think that because of the kinds of things that are happening in the world, everybody is thinking and everybody is concentrating more on those events and those, for want of a better word, call them confluence of eventuality.
And when people start doing that, I think we're all connected, but most of the time we're just distracted and we don't even know it.
But you can call it intuition, you can call it common sense, or you can call it a lot of things.
But I think that we are more aware of what's going on.
And I think the predictions are going to be more right on than ever before.
Okay, well, I've had some, you know, in technology and everything, but I think I'll go with the more generalized one.
And in consequence of, I think, several dramatic acts of nature and political unrest that will happen kind of sort of all at once in the political unrest in the Middle Ages in Europe, a domino effect will accelerate and greater activity in this confluence of eventuality will be more visceral than ever before.
And this will cause an unprecedented rise in religious fervor, causing more religious figures and institutions to appear than any time in history.
And a particularly pointed event will cause a worldwide circle of hand-holding to start.
And it will culminate in the biggest media event in history.
But it is beginning to feel as though we're sort of on the verge of something big.
And I guess there could be a big rise in religion.
I think, though, that it would have to be precipitated by some large event.
Wouldn't it be wonderful to have some sort of miracle?
Miracle.
Is that too strong a word?
I really mean miracle, some modern day, undeniable, irrefutable miracle.
And that has a strong chance, I think, of changing the world.
Okay.
Let's go to the international line, I believe.
It would have been on the air.
Let's go instead to a wildcard line.
You are on the air.
unidentified
Hi, Art.
I have a prediction for south of the border in Mexico.
The drug cartels there are going to get so powerful that the Mexican government is going to lose the war on drugs despite any of the U.S. coming through.
And two things will happen.
There'll be a coup d'état there where the government will be toppled.
And the U.S. will be forced to consider whether to go down to Mexico to actually fight on one side to have the drug work to be toppled.
But what will ultimately happen is that as a result of it, there's just too much fear over getting into another war, and we will legalize all drugs in the United States as a result of it.
I don't know if you've, I'm sure you've heard of the Hubble Ultra Deep Field, the image with several different galaxies.
Yes.
I'm predicting that, I don't know if it would be with the Hubble telescope itself or the Webb telescope that they're going to hopefully, I think, launch next year or this year, that with advanced technology, we are soon going to get a picture a whole lot more clearer than the Hubble Ultra Deep Field.
And because the galaxies in that image are so far away, we're not only seeing a picture, we're seeing back in time.
I'm thinking that we're going to get a picture of something that's going to show maybe the beginning of time or more evidence for the Big Bang theory.
What I need from you is something that specifically you believe will occur in the year 2010.
That's just sort of saying another year will go by.
unidentified
Right, right.
Let me see.
How about the just like any cut or wound, I believe that the economy will get better because I believe that we, as a nation, have lasted now 236 years,
and we've came through a lot worse, the Great Depression, to name one, and what will come because we have, as Americans, the capacity within ourselves to do whatever needs to be done to ensure this, what I'd like to say, last bastion of freedom.
You know, again, this big crash we had, it seems to me that there were very few options.
If they had let the dominoes continue to fall, it seems to me we would have been in a very serious, not, you know, economic recession, but a very serious depression.
And the numbers of people who would be out of work right now would be in the 20 percentile, 25 percent, 30 percent.
I mean, it would be horrible.
So they almost had to do what they did.
But the consequences of that are yet to be realized.
Now, it is possible, I suppose, the economy will continue to improve.
Good morning, everybody, from Manila, which last night sounded like a war zone with all the fireworks going.
It was incredible.
I mean, you just would have had to have been here to hear it.
And by the way, regarding the Baba Baba Booy idiot who was on a little earlier, I've had this vision for some time now.
Actually, I've been having this vision, recurring vision dream, that you just don't hear Howard's name anymore except for when you get one of those callers.
And this dream has been just recurring that Howard with his head in his hand saying, why did I go to satellite radio?
Why did I go to satellite radio?
We'll be right back.
Well, okay, let's review the final predictions made for 2009.
Not a great year in terms of the number of hits, but what we're getting for 2010 holds great promise.
All right.
Number 92 last year was Rogue Wave hits cruise ship.
And as far as I know, that's bonk.
Number 93, people will create self-sustaining groups.
I don't think so, bonk.
Number 94, a new energy source.
And there's lots of new energy being used, but nothing newly discovered being used that I'm aware of.
So that's a bonk.
Number 95, a return to the golden rule.
I only wish that would be a bonk.
Let's see.
Number 96, Ledger wins Oscar.
I don't know.
I think that's a bonk.
Number 97, we capture Obama.
Obviously a bonk.
Number 98, young people start a movement, a secret society.
Well, if so, it's so secret I haven't heard of it, so I have to bonk it.
I'm sorry.
Number 99, Evidence of microbes on Mars.
Hmm.
I think there might be something to that.
I think.
Did we find microbes?
I'm going to say, I'm going to ding that, but it might be a bonk.
Number 100, seeds and garden products sold.
Well, yeah.
Okay.
Ding.
No big deal.
Number 101, disaster will bring fascist government.
Bonk, even though I know there's a lot of people out there saying, well, yeah, look, we got it now.
And number 102, Art Bell Returns to Radio.
Bonk.
Well, I never really left, so we'll leave it right there.
And that's it for last year.
All in all, not a good year for predictions.
This year, however, is an entirely different story.
The next prediction to be made will be number 92, and it's going to be made by somebody on the first-time caller line because, hi there, you're on the air.
Well, there are many people, as you know, and many shows that have done pieces on these containers and what they're actually able to check and what they're not able to check.
Hopefully, our Nest people are good enough to find that sort of thing before anything nasty happens.
So certainly it's entirely possible, and I hope you're right, and it's sound.
And I think it means that by the end of the year, the economy is actually going to be overheating a little bit, which means it's going to be good news because the Fed will be able to rake back in some of that excess cash that's out there.
Yeah, I don't know who it will be, if it's someone at the top or someone in the middle.
But I just feel like they have so much information owning YouTube, and they have videos people post of themselves, and things that people search for, and Google Maps, and Google Ocean, et cetera, et cetera.
And my prediction for 2010 is that I think that it's getting real close in time now to when the computer designers are going to come up with one that's smart enough that it will have its own intelligence and be able to talk to the guys.
Well, I think they're up around the three gig range right now for processors, and I'm sure they can make them faster than that.
But, I mean, generally, you can go out and buy a three-gig right now.
Hmm.
What impact do you think that would have on the world?
If a computer actually became intelligent, one day it will happen.
What impact do you think it would have?
unidentified
Well, I think that it might be something as interesting as if you go back to the old movie there, 2001, A Space Odyssey, and you pay attention to what the HAL 9000 computer had to say and do.
Well, I've been listening to you for 15 years, and I finally get to talk to you.
How about that?
I have a prediction for you.
And you had a caller earlier that was talking about change in religion.
I think this may help clarify that, hopefully.
I have a feeling that this year there will be a church that is not considered part of the mainstream that will make a major archaeological discovery that will help vindicate its teachings.
I'm thinking more like archaeological proof of maybe a city that they consider to exist that not too many other people believe in that may result in it growing, that church growing exponentially because of that discovery.
I suppose a church, if they were to make a discovery of that magnitude, would suddenly grow.
And, you know, very interesting.
unidentified
Yeah, I'm thinking, you know, one of the churches that might be considered one of the Christian churches, but is considered more of the outside of the mainstream.
I think in the year 2010 that there will be a nuclear device that will be detonated either in the United States or another problemate country in the road, you know, somewhere in Europe, maybe U.K. All right.
What I'll do is I'll put down nuclear device detonated somewhere.
It's going to happen eventually.
It is going to happen eventually.
And I suppose if it's severe enough, it will finally possibly teach the world to stop doing this sort of thing.
All right.
Let's see.
Prediction number 100 is coming up.
That's an interesting one.
Wildcard line, you will be prediction number 100.
Hello?
unidentified
Yes, hello.
Okay, great.
Glad to know you're talking to me.
Okay, here's my prediction.
I am predicting that the Chinese government is going to start making strategic plans for an invasion of the Philippines and other countries in Southeast Asia starting this year.
Now, the invasion won't actually take place for a couple decades, maybe 10 years or so, but this year you're going to see certain events come to the public's attention throughout the world that show that the Chinese government is seeking regional hegemony.
And behind that will be strategic war gaming within the Chinese government.
I certainly agree with you that they are going to begin taking over the region, and it will begin occurring in the next decade.
There's no question about it.
But if they venture past Taiwan, Taiwan is inevitably going to be first, and they were to venture, for example, to the Philippines or Vietnam or Cambodia or whatever in the region they might think they want, then they would encounter the United States' wrath.
I doubt the United States would sit by while the Philippines were invaded by the Chinese.
What do you think?
unidentified
Do you think it's possible, though, that the United States of America could drift towards isolationism here in the next decade or two?
And if we do, would that open the door to Chinese hegemony in Asia?
Yes, I'm not pointing status quo and whatnot, but you know, every year there are crises and there are major advances in science, medicine, and computer science and all that kind of thing.
Not mellow, but you know, in the years past, there's just been some phenomenal things in medical research and the DNA things and just incredible.
You know, because there's so many smart minds here in America, and gratefully, there's a budget to keep those guys, you know, doing what they should be doing or what they're good at.
Sadly enough, there are going to be a great many deaths.
You know, I mean, I wonder what the body count really was in Iran and Iraq and all that kind of stuff.
I mean, I'm not saying that it's a government cover-up or anything, but I mean, no facts have really been laid out other than just what the government's been telling us.
We need the tapes from the boxes and everything like that to fully understand what really happened that day.
Well, what do you think really happened that day other than airplanes plowing into buildings?
unidentified
Well, I understand that happened and everything, but I mean, I want to know what really happened, like who hijacked the plane, because I mean, they could say that somebody hijacked the plane without any concrete evidence of somebody actually surviving on the plane.
Then how do they know they really did that?
They're not releasing any kind of the chatter from any kind of any of the communications they had.
I'm not ready to go actually back and ding those yet, but, you know, it is a very unusual night.
unidentified
Yeah, well, I went back.
I mean, I had 29 last year talking about the power of intention.
It was more along the lines of the global consciousness movement, and Lynn McTaggart's doing experiments, frequent coast guests, and the Friday Night Prayer Line is all part of that paradigm.
But I see what's going to happen this year is the dichotomy between good and bad.
It's going to be a swing year, and I think there's enough positive people from the light side of the force that are on the end of the tug-of-war line here that I think it's going to pull over in our direction to the point where it swings in our favor that we won't be going back.
We'll be moving forward to a new paradigm.
And it's similar to, you had a guest in 2005, the fall of 2005, that said by the end of 2006, our destiny will be set.
So we have that amount of time to change things.
And once the end of 2006 happens, our destiny will be set for either good or bad.
And I think hopefully we've got it on the good side.
Do you think the pendulum has moved so far or is in the process of moving so far that JC will find inner peace?
unidentified
Actually, to tell you the truth, that's part of the spiritual movement that one of your callers mentioned, too, of the religious movement, is there's going to be a bigger spiritual movement as well.
It's going to spread like a warm current in a cold ocean.
And what the prediction I have is that there's going to be more, what I would call not really whistleblowers, but people that are into sacrificing their own benefits for the benefit of mankind.
I think it'll be the year of the self-sacrificing whistleblower, I guess.
Actually, this is John from Roseburg, Oregon, but I do have a prediction for you, sir.
Okay.
Now, probably not this year, but I think within the next year or the next few years, I honestly think they're finally going to get us to a cashless society.
I really, really do.
The way everything's speeding toward it, you know, and the credit, everything, the way everything's in our lot.
I've just had this feeling for some time and I wanted to share it with you.
He said that that should have been an immediate trigger.
unidentified
Oh, oh, we won't even.
It would take us a week sitting here for everything that should have been done and shouldn't have even had to.
I mean, that's a whole nother show, you know.
I mean, it's so ridiculous.
The list that he should have even never, ever been anywhere close, you know, and for the FAA and the NTSB and all Homeland Security to say, and basically what they're saying, Art, is, well, we didn't know.
I mean, what's it going to take?
You know, I pick up, I turn on the news in the morning, and this guy's on an airplane, and he had Pet and I know.
Well, I suppose that occurs every time he comes on the air in a way.
And, you know, I will, again, give Ed Dames credit for always sticking to his guns, as it were, particularly over the issue of the sun and what he calls the kill shot.
The sun has been acting very, very strangely.
Not that it's been erupting strangely, but there has been lack of any action from the sun.
I did what you told me to do, and I meditated, and what I got was that there's going to be a nuclear reactor that detonates, quote unquote, on its own and in somewhere in North America.
And the whole, like, on its own thing is probably the cause for more worry, because what's going to happen is I feel like they're going to not have any evidence of a security breach, no evidence of tampering.
And so it's going to be like this mysterious unknown that actually shakes people.
