Time	Text
	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 and 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, alright?
	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, beautiful, beautiful area called Sorendra.
	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.
	Okay.
	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, 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 a 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, 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, 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's 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.
	So, that's the deal.
	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.
	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.
	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.
	time callers and we love them area code 818 501 4721 the wildcard lines we have
	many of them area code 818 5014109 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 AT&T 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.
	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, U.S.
	breaks up.
	Well, it didn't do that.
	Yeah, 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.
	Well, that's kind of... I'm going to technically bonk it.
	The economy certainly got worse, but the World Bank certainly didn't save us, so I'm giving it a bonk.
	Number 59.
	Obama health...
	Care goes through.
	Hmm.
	Well, it's not through yet, so I'm going to bonk it, but certainly it's moving like a freight train.
	Disney buys Christmas.
	I don't pre-read these.
	Disney buys Christmas.
	Bonk.
	That's wrong.
	Number 61, Obama is not a savior.
	Well, now that's a... See, that's the kind of thing that I would have not allowed this time.
	I guess people realize Obama's not a savior.
	Well, some have not certainly realized that.
	Some not.
	I'm going to bonk it.
	Number 62, national disaster pushes us over the edge.
	That's a bonk.
	We're close to the edge, but not over.
	Number 63, new green gadgets.
	That's a ding, ding, ding.
	They're all over the place.
	Number 64, rising death toll in 2009.
	Now, we know the homicide rate was down, and I don't think the death toll is up, so I'm going to bonk that.
	I'm being tough here.
	Number 65, a new currency, North American Union.
	Nope, that didn't happen, bonk.
	66, an earthquake in Northeast Ohio.
	Now, I'm going to have to think about that one, and I will accept anybody who would like to fast blast me on that.
	It's vaguely something about Ohio, but it wasn't a major earthquake, certainly, so that's a bonk.
	Number 67, the New World Order is announced.
	We get that every year.
	Once again, last year it did not occur.
	Number 68, an outbreak of food poisoning due to some sort of genetic mistake.
	I think that's a bonk.
	I don't recall anything like that.
	Number 69, an Obama scandal.
	Well, you know, it depends on your political point of view, I suppose, but it's a bonk, really.
	Nothing big.
	Number 70.
	A trillion dollars worth of train infrastructure.
	I wish that was true.
	Bonk.
	Number 71.
	A major earthquake at Yellowstone.
	That gets predicted every year.
	Next year is included, by the way.
	Number 72.
	That's a bonk.
	Number 72.
	A new member of the Bell family.
	Bonk, bonk, bonk, bonk, bonk.
	Number 73.
	Unity of the United States by removal of illegal immigrants.
	That's a bonk.
	Number 74.
	Ramsey case news.
	Ramsey case news.
	You know, before I ding or bonk 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 sad.
	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, they're 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.
	Top of the morning to you.
	You're on the air.
	Art Bell, it's an honor to speak with you, sir.
	And we're as well.
	What is your first name and where are you?
	My name is Marty, and I'm in Scottsdale, Arizona.
	OK.
	Turn your radio off, please.
	Yes, sir.
	That's for everybody, by the way.
	The instant I answer, turn your radio off, or there's a delay.
	You'd think by now I would know that.
	One would think, but I know.
	I understand.
	I'd like to wish you and all out in the Philippines a Happy New Year.
	We still have about just over a half hour to go out here in Arizona, so we haven't hit it yet, but we're getting there.
	Anyway, my prediction is I think we're going to discover life elsewhere outside the planet next year.
	I think it's time.
	I think we're going to find life somewhere out there.
	Somewhere out there, hopefully.
	Since you have said that, what do you think that life might be like?
	That's a good question.
	You know, you think in terms of more of a microbiology, kind of a small cell type of creature or critter.
	But I'm thinking it's going to be something in more of an animal form.
	I don't know.
	Maybe, I don't know, it could be four legs, two legs, like human.
	But I don't know.
	You know, with all the technology we have and everything out there and the research we have going on, it seems like NASA still has a pretty good budget.
	They keep sending more stuff up there.
	And I think we're going to run into something.
	I think we're going to find something next year.
	That's my hope.
	Do you think it will be friendly or do you think it will be, let's see how to put this, angry or not wanting us there?
	Or worse yet, hungry.
	Hungry!
	I hope it's not that big.
	I'd still like to stay on the top of the food chain, especially when it comes to something like that, that big.
	That would be a huge discovery, though.
	It certainly would.
	I'm hoping it would be friendly and accepting to the human race.
	I would sure like to see it in my lifetime.
	I would, too.
	That would be huge.
	I'm going to keep my fingers crossed, because I love space and astronomy and all that.
	It's one that I hope happens.
	And next year, I'm going to say it does.
	Okay, buddy.
	It's recorded.
	Number 56.
	56.
	Thank you, sir.
	Always a pleasure talking to you, and you have a great New Year.
	You too.
	Take care.
	Yes, that New Year is rapidly approaching.
	And let's see.
	First time caller line, you're on the air.
	Good morning.
	Hi.
	I thought this was the wild card line.
	Oh, you're absolutely right.
	I'm sorry.
	It is, of course.
	I didn't want to take away the big shebang for many first-time callers, but Art, it's good to talk to you.
	Happy New Year.
	This is your buddy Dan from Tampa, Florida.
	I think I've got a good prediction for you.
	It's going to sound a little crazy, but hey, it's coast-to-coast AM.
	What do you expect?
	That's exactly right.
	Okay, here it is.
	I'm going to predict for you that in California this year there's going to be a tsunami.
	It's not going to be anything catastrophic, but it's going to reveal a new species of underwater something or other reptiles, I think.
	Could be something along those lines.
	That's pretty specific.
	So there'll be a wave, not a giant wave, but a wave, and in will come a new species.
	Absolutely.
	They may even talk to us, Art.
	That's very cool.
	I like your prediction, and I'm curious how this came to you.
	Well, I just got thinking about it.
	I had to get in touch with my psychic self, and this is what I came up with.
	I think it's a winner.
	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.
	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.
	Okay, consider it recorded and I hope it comes true.
	All right, I hope so, too.
	You have a good New Year.
	Right, especially the part about the tsunami being relatively small.
	Okay, let's go west of the Rockies.
	Howdy, you're on the air.
	Hello, Art, and Happy New Year.
	Thank you, very same to you.
	I have a prediction.
	I think that Bigfoot, there will be undeniable proof That there are bigfoot, or big feet, whatever you want to, however you want to say, living in Arizona, Arizona, California desert.
	Right.
	And I think that there's a real good possibility that Area 52 will be broken wide open by a young journalist.
	52.
	And the fact that they are maybe breeding these things underground out there will come to light.
	Area 50, it's Area 51, right?
	Well, Area 51 is in Nevada.
	Area 52 is about 30 miles north of Wendon, Arizona, between Wendon, Arizona and Alamo Lake.
	That's my prediction.
	That is an absolute psychic prediction.
	You're airing classified information here.
	Sorry about that.
	I mean, there's slips here and there.
	So, Area 52 is near you and you think they're harboring Bigfoot.
	Yeah, Bigfoot, Yeti, Sasquatch, whatever you want to call it.
	They're about 8 feet tall.
	They're dark colored, hairy, very fast, real big.
	And what is the military doing with them?
	I'm not sure.
	Or is it so terrible we don't want to know?
	Maybe they could be used as weapons?
	Weapons?
	Weapons.
	Well, what else would the military do, of course?
	Soldiers of the future?
	Well, I mean, yeah.
	If you were a soldier and you saw something like that coming at you.
	Just turn around and look at it.
	All right.
	All right. Thank you very, very much for the call.
	Your prediction is duly recorded as number 58.
	Can you imagine that?
	A helmet appears.
	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... It's hard.
	If I miss a line, it's because they're not labeled over here, so I'm sort of just judging, but I think this is the international line.
	You're on the air.
	Hello?
	Hello?
	Hi.
	Hi there.
	Calling from BC Art.
	Okay.
	Well, that's international.
	I'm no Ed Dames by any means.
	Not a member of that ilk, but I know he's tried to pin down You know, you've got to say one thing about Ed, and that is, he's always been consistent about the kill shot.
	He's always been consistent about the sun being a problem.
	I mean, for a decade, more than a decade.
	And then you get movies like 2012, and you get a number of other media events that sort of concentrate on the same possibility.
	Sounds like you like the subject.
	I mean, after all, that's what it was, a kill shot, right?
	Yes.
	Okay, anyway.
	I don't really want to join the ranks of everybody predicting catastrophe.
	However, I feel that the sun is going to take center stage again at some point in the next year.
	It's going to make it very difficult to carry out wars and for the power elite to carry out their agendas, etc., etc.
	We're going to be distracted.
	Because of, you know, fairly drastic weather changes one way or another.
	Well, you know, as a ham radio operator, I'd like to see the sun get active.
	We're barely into the new sun cycle, and more days than not, the sun is completely blank.
	No sunspots.
	That's what my research tells me as well.
	Well, that's because it's true.
	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.
	All right.
	That prediction will be recorded as number 59, and we'll think of you as Ed Jr.
	All the best to you, Art.
	You take care, and I'll see you later.
	Oh, my.
	All right.
	East of the Rockies, somewhere out there, you're on the air.
	Hi.
	Is this our bell?
	It is, yes.
	This is Dusty Wallace from Virginia.
	Hey, Dusty.
	I'm predicting a major celebrity admits to being abducted.
	A major celebrity abducted?
	Yes.
	Admits to being abducted.
	Maybe not this year was abducted, but admits to it.
	Hmm.
	Okay.
	That would kind of be a new one.
	Have we really had a lot of, usually, you know, of course, it's unfortunately mostly children that are abducted.
	Well, I mean alien abducted.
	Oh, that kind of abduction.
	That would be very interesting actually.
	Would this major celebrity be back to tell his story or just gone baby gone?
	No, no, this year he will come out and say that he was abducted, maybe not was abducted this year, maybe earlier in their life.
	Well, that would be certainly major news.
	I would think that a major celebrity would be, I don't know, very hesitant to admit something like that publicly.
	Okay.
	But, you know, you never know.
	It's a good prediction.
	It's an interesting prediction, and it's number 60.
	Okay, thank you.
	Thank you very much.
	That would be You know, I've got to say, you guys are getting points for very, very interesting predictions this year for next.
	And I mean, really interesting.
	If I go back over them, these are just sort of different this year.
	And I'm not sure why.
	Well, last year was certainly influenced by the financial.
	Disaster.
	This year I think perhaps people are freed up a little bit to think about other things, and I guess that's why it might be happening, but it is pretty cool.
	First time caller line, you are on the air.
	Hey Art, this is Mark in San Diego.
	Hey Mark.
	How you doing?
	Happy New Year.
	I'm fine.
	Turn your radio off please.
	Okay.
	So, what do you think is coming in 2010?
	Well, I think I have a feeling that Madman Markham is going to reappear, reemerge, and you guys will be doing an interview with him.
	I would so like to talk to Madman.
	Madman was a time traveler, for those of you who are not long-time listeners, and as with, believe it or not, many other time traveler guests that I've had, he disappeared from the face of the earth.
	Much as we tried to contact him, he is gone, baby gone.
	Let me tell you, Madman is gone.
	So, if he were to reappear, particularly with a time travel story, that would be big time news.
	Absolutely, I'd love that.
	I would too.
	So, Madman, if you're out there, if nothing else, buddy, go to CostaCoastAM.com and send me a fast blast or whatever you can do to be in contact.
	All right, that is prediction number 61, sir, and it's excellent.
	Thank you.
	Right, thank you.
	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 claim 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.
	WowCardLine, you're on the air.
	Hi.
	Hmm.
	Hung up.
	Bad timing.
	Wild Card Line, you are on the air.
	Hello.
	Hi, this is JJ in Duluth, Minnesota.
	Hello, JJ.
	Hi.
	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'll actually be kind of one that'll be cause for celebration.
	Okay, good.
	I think that 2010 will finally be the year that we, in the United States, will get our 51st state.
	Really?
	Yeah.
	Of course, I suppose you imagine that to be Puerto Rico.
	Well, either Puerto Rico or maybe, I don't know, D.C.
	or something?
	Or don't they want to be a state too?
	I don't know.
	Well, they want to be.
	But I think the original idea was for them not to be.
	Yeah, I don't know.
	I would think Puerto Rico would be more likely, but prediction of a 51st state is a good prediction and entirely possible.
	Okay.
	All right.
	It's prediction number 62.
	Good luck.
	Thank you.
	Happy New Year.
	Take care.
	You know, we should establish some kind of prize, it seems to me, for somebody who hits something.
	You know, the real 777 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 through on 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.
	Hello, Art Bell.
	Gordon calling from Victorville here in the high desert listening to you on 960 KIXW.
	That's the way to do it.
	Yeah.
	I just want to let you know my prediction is for the coming year.
	Sure.
	And that is that something's going to keep that collider from going back online or going online.
	Okay, so something stops the collider?
	Mm-hmm.
	One that wants to make the little black holes.
	Uh-huh.
	You are aware, of course, of the stories about somebody from the future sabotaging the collider, right?
	I've heard of those stories, yes.
	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 Yes.
	That's what I think.
	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?
	Yes. That's what I think.
	That's my prediction for 2010. All right well it's duly recorded as number 63
	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.
	Thank you very much.
	Thanks Art, and have a good Happy New Year.
	You too, take care.
	Alright, let's see.
	Let me do east of the Rockies.
	Your turn, you're on the air.
	Oh, hey Art.
	I would wait for a screener.
	I'm sorry.
	No screener.
	No screener.
	Okay.
	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 kind of are starting to kind of crack the lid on the global warming 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, you know, working onto this hoax of the global warming thing, that will eventually work towards an indictment of several key people and in the carbon credit scheme which will probably make Bernie Madoff look like he got caught cheating in a poker game and I think Numero Uno who's going to get indicted on this is part of a
	Well, you know what, you're really on the edge of this being a political wish.
	Well, I'm just going on what is starting to accumulate.
	And I think that's what's going to happen.
	I think there's going to be, people will be indicted on the carbon credit.
	Do you know, sir, that last year my email address won about a half a billion dollars?
	No kidding.
	Yeah, no kidding.
	Half a million dollars.
	That's with a B. Wow.
	I've been keeping track.
	I get these emails every day.
	Your email entered in a lottery has yielded you 500 million dollars.
	You don't get any of those?
	Yes, I wish.
	All right, take care.
	I've got your prediction.
	More of the fraud type emails about global warming and leading to some sort of action.
	I'm not kidding about my email address.
	It may be because I'm a very public person.
	I don't know.
	But my email address is just unreasonably lucky.
	I mean, every day, every day, I win millions and millions of dollars.
	And if that's not it, of course, it's no wonder that Nigeria is relatively broke.
	They keep giving away all their money.
	Hey, amazing.
	Wild card line, you're on the air.
	Good morning.
	Hi, Art.
	Hello.
	That was good talking to you.
	Long time fan.
	What is your first name and where be you?
	Jennifer and I'm from Albuquerque.
	Okay, Jennifer.
	My prediction is kind of a sad one.
	I just, it's just a feeling about, I think by this summer, The fish are going to kind of be really disappearing and we're going to really notice it.
	And a lot of sushi restaurants will probably start closing up by the summer.
	You know, that's an eerie prediction that could certainly come true.
	They're finding more and more what are called dead spots in the ocean, as you know.
	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 any way at all because pretty soon it's all going to end and we're going to get raptured and so what difference does it make?
	That's not right.
	If you've seen the new movie Avatar, it's very environmental.
	It's very cool.
	No, I haven't seen it yet, but I don't need to see it to know what we're doing to our planet.
	Right, right.
	Well, it takes place on another planet, but it's still, it's very incredible movie and it's just about any environment that any people inhabit, so it's very cool.
	But yeah, the fish thing, I keep worrying about that because it's my favorite food, but you I keep hearing about the oceans and stuff, so, you know.
	All right, well it's recorded as number 65.
	Okay, great.
	Right, 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, It's 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.
	Okay, where to go?
	Let's make it east of the Rockies.
	You're on the air.
	Good morning.
	Yes.
	I'm on the air.
	You are indeed.
	Okay, my prediction is random events, generators that measure human consciousness.
	Yes.
	Okay.
	My prediction is that it's not only humans that it's measuring, it's also measuring the animals.
	You know, that's pretty reasonable.
	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.
	That's very good thinking, sir.
	Very good thinking.
	And I believe that somebody's going to be able to Record this and there are people I think that you had a guest on last week with the that did the movie The Voice.
	And he's but he didn't talk about I believe that the human and the animal of consciousness through the heart is all interconnected.
	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.
	Good morning, I'm Art Bell.
	I.e., the other side of the world.
	Yes, this is a pretty exotic place, all right?
	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.
	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.
	1, 2, 3, 4, so about an hour away from the, a little less than an hour away from the West Coast, Mountain States, already had 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.
	Wild Card Line, you're on the air, good morning.
	Hello, good morning, sir.
	Hi, this is James.
	Where are you and what is your first name?
	James, south, north of Phoenix.
	All right, excellent.
	And I have a nagging feeling that they're going to find out that from the mid 18th, 19th century to the early 20th century, they're going to find that many silver and gold coins have been counterfeited.
	I mean, mega coins.
	Really?
	Yes, sir.
	It's kind of a... I like remote viewing and I've been practicing out-of-body things.
	I've been trying this OB-ERV.
	It's kind of a skill I like to play with.
	You don't get one task, you get a whole download.
	You know, I hate to say it, but your prediction sounds altogether pretty reasonable.
	I mean, there was a clamor for gold with the recent economic downturn.
	A lot of people bought gold and I bet you're right.
	Boy, I bet you're right.
	Never thought of it.
	I'm kind of worried about the lower class and the middle class people losing their fortunes.
	You know, their family heirlooms.
	Well, yes, and you know, it's happening anyway.
	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 and one of them is inflation and when it begins it's going to begin I'm afraid it's going to be 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 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
	Well, bless you, sir.
	I hope you have a good and everybody else has a good year this year.
	Thank you very much and take care.
	Prediction number 67.
	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.
	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.
	Have you taken your H1N1 shot yet?
	No, I haven't.
	I haven't either.
	But you see it coming.
	In other words, you see perhaps a variant of the H1N1 or something brand new, huh?
	It could be brand new, but now that it's been found in Turkey, since it's circulating through birds now, I am concerned.
	And I also found it rather disquieting that there's been very little news of the seasonal flu this year.
	Where is it?
	What's going on there?
	Quite right.
	The whole thing is somewhat suspect, frankly.
	Anyway, okay, it's prediction number 68, and I hope you're all wrong.
	Me too.
	All right, take care.
	The whole thing is a little bit, the way it happened is very suspect.
	Very suspect.
	It happened at the wrong time of year for the flu.
	It happened in one place and spread so quickly.
	There's something we don't know about it.
	I'm sure the intelligence agencies, Hither and Yon, know a lot more about it than they have told us.
	Okay, West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
	Good morning.
	Good morning, Art.
	Happy new decade.
	Boy, it is a new decade, that's right.
	Yeah, it's pretty cool, man.
	And not only that, it's a blue moon and an eclipse.
	Now, we've got a blue moon here, but you don't get that blue moon until the end of next month, is my understanding.
	Well, I took a good look at it.
	It was gigantic last night.
	A beautiful moon last night as the explosions were echoing through the concrete canyon walls here in Manila.
	It was amazing.
	You have no idea what it was like here last night.
	Wow.
	Oh, man.
	But, of course, that's only a calendar thing as far as the blue moon.
	So, since it happens after the terminus, for you, your blue moon is in January, is the way that I read that.
	Well, I can live with it.
	Oh, and by the way, cats do have souls.
	Sometime I'd like to talk to you about my cat.
	Well, I agree with you completely.
	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.
	Yeah, it really was.
	Well, I'm listening on KFI tonight.
	They're back up.
	I'm on the Mendocino Coast in Northern California.
	Yes.
	Welcome back, KFI.
	You missed half the predictions.
	Yeah.
	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 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 of Old Route 66.
	Those could reactivate.
	And with all the activity, now with Puerto Rico also, Mount Montserrat is going off.
	Well, listen, we've got Mayan, the volcano here, 300 miles south, going big time.
	So the whole Mother Earth is shaking us off like fleas, I guess, is the way we could look at it.
	And this prediction, though, I feel it's imminent.
	In fact, if it happens before 11, since it's already the new decade on your side, would it still count as a prediction for next year?
	Because I really feel it's about to happen, Art.
	Yes, I will allow that.
	What specifically should I write as your prediction?
	OK, my prediction is an 8 plus epicenter off the northern plate and the Pacific plate where they meet in Cape Mendocino area.
	And this indicator of that methane coming up out of the San Andreas just sounds to me like it's about to peel away.
	So an 8 plus earthquake in Mendocino area, north of San Francisco.
	But I mean, I heard him last night.
	Everybody's feeling that this is about to happen here.
	Does a feeling like that, for somebody like yourself, get strong enough that you would move?
	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 64.
	And by the way, this feeling that I get, I had this feeling prior to the 89 earthquake that Jim Berkman predicted.
	Right.
	Big Bear Landersquake in Southern California.
	And when I was a kid, the 71 earthquake in Newhall, Saugus.
	And it's just sort of a, like a, when you're going over whoop-de-doos, or when a plane is descending to land, you get that feeling in your gut.
	Right.
	Tickle feeling.
	Sure.
	And it's, and probably it's that and electromagnetic flux and the shifting of the lines of magnetism and the electromagnetics of the Earth.
	You feel like a broken magnet where that magnet breaks.
	It changes where those lines of flux go, and I believe that's what is picked up by the animals.
	Oh, the seals that split out of San Francisco Bay.
	Yeah, I heard about that.
	They just sort of en masse left.
	Yeah, and as you know, Jim Berkman 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.
	Well, what I heard about seals is scientists said they found a new food source somewhere.
	That, that I don't know about.
	That just sounds kind of convenient.
	It does. It does.
	It does.
	I agree with you.
	Okay.
	Again, you know, 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.
	So I hope it's wrong.
	First time caller line, you're on the air.
	Hi.
	Hello.
	First time caller line.
	It's your turn.
	Going once.
	Going twice.
	Are you there?
	Gone.
	Gone, gone.
	Okay, let's try it again.
	It's still ringing.
	First time caller line, you're on the air.
	Hello, let me turn my radio on.
	Okay, thank you.
	My prediction is that we're going to have a medical breakthrough that will stop the aging process.
	Really?
	Really.
	Better happen pretty soon for me.
	Well, they've been, you know, ever since they've If they had a medical breakthrough that stopped aging and you were in control of it, would you release it or would you keep it secret?
	Well, all of your other predictions that were tonight, I believe those are all very possible.
	And this is what will give hope to all that.
	Well, maybe.
	But that kind of medical breakthrough, if released generally, could also be more or less the end of the world.
	Well, dare I try in the Mayan calendar?
	Um, okay.
	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.
	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.
	Well, there might become a law against having babies at all.
	Well, I don't know.
	Babies are kind of cute.
	I don't think we'd give those up.
	No, we didn't.
	Okay, well anyway, I have a very interesting prediction.
	Number 70, aging is stopped.
	Medical breakthrough that stops aging.
	For all I know, they've already got it and are not releasing it.
	And the same question goes for you.
	If you were in control of such an incredible medical breakthrough, would you release that?
	And before you answer that question, think really hard about it.
	Because as she just said, Out of the mouths of babes.
	Babies are cute.
	So, we wouldn't stop having babies.
	Well, if we stopped aging and didn't stop having babies, how many generations would go by before the last generation?
	Wild Card Line, you're on the air.
	Hello.
	Hi, this is Joy in Atlanta.
	How are you?
	I'm all right, Joy, contemplating a lot of what's been said tonight.
	How about you?
	Just let me try this out on you.
	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?
	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 I 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 live to be 800, I might have to keep working forever, you know?
	I don't think you'd live to be 800, because if they stopped aging, they wouldn't stop babies.
	Well, that's true.
	How long could the world handle that?
	Well, it'd be pretty crowded, wouldn't it?
	Right.
	I think not for 800 years.
	Yes, certainly, certainly.
	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?
	Sure.
	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.
	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.
	Alright, it's going to be prediction number 71, and I hope we get him too, but you know what?
	I've come to the conclusion, as I think many have, that whether we get Bin Laden or not, terrorism is going to continue.
	I agree 100% with that.
	I would like to see some of the people that are still hurting as a result of 9-11 at least feel some sense of justice or not closure, there's never closure for something like that.
	No, there really isn't.
	At least putting things to rest.
	Not even if we get Bin Laden and execute him.
	People think there'll be closure, but suddenly it's empty.
	Yes.
	That's the way I think so.
	Okay.
	Thank you very, very much for the call, and I'm going to try and do a quick one here.
	Let's go to the first-time caller line.
	You're on the air.
	Well, you should be on the air.
	First-time caller, are you there?
	No?
	Okay.
	Those for the Rockies, you're on the air.
	Hi.
	Hi, Happy New Year to you Art and I'm Mickey from Arizona.
	Yo Mickey!
	Yes, 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 myself and neighbors are standing and watching like spiderwebs 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.
	Oh, no.
	Yep, that's what I think.
	All right.
	Now, that's from what I see of my... Now, these spider webs might mean something else to someone.
	They might, but I'll take that.
	Mickey, we're at a break point.
	I gotta go.
	Thank you very much for the prediction.
	It is number 72, World Wide Web gone.
	Here I am, other side of the world, folks, and the sun is high in the sky, and it's a beautiful day here in Manila, and I know where you are.
	It's about 98% of your experiencing nighttime.
	All right, the predictions we're getting for 2010 I think are the best that we've ever received for any year.
	I'm serious about that.
	They're absolutely intriguing.
	Reviewing some more of the 2009 predictions, let me go through a few more here.
	Number 77.
	The assault weapon ban renewed.
	Now, I don't think there have been any changes in that area.
	There's been talk about it, but no changes that I'm aware of.
	I'm going to bonk that.
	If I'm wrong, let me know.
	Let's see.
	The Mannings meet in the Super Bowl.
	I believe that's a bonk, but again, I haven't been paying attention.
	Let me know.
	79, a shift in consciousness.
	Well, I'm going to bonk that because there really hasn't been.
	Number 80, the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem destroyed.
	We get that one almost every year.
	That's a bonk.
	Number 81, U.S.
	citizens start to grow food.
	Well, for me to ding that, it would have to be a really major shift, and I don't think that's occurred, so that's a bonk.
	I'm being a little rough here.
	Number 82, housing problem eases in 2009.
	Well, ding, ding, ding, ding.
	Certainly that is true.
	I've seen a lot of reports of, you know, housing starts being way up and all the rest of it.
	So, tentative ding.
	Now a ding.
	83, the Ark of the Covenant found.
	No.
	Hasn't been.
	Number 84, Obama haters set up Obama.
	Hmm.
	Let me think about that.
	Obama haters set up Obama.
	Well, there was a big boo-ha-ha over the birth certificate, but I don't know that that was a setup.
	I'm not sure what to do with this.
	I'm going to bonk that.
	I don't think that was... I don't think that really happened.
	85, Black Panthers regain power, and I think that's a bonk as well.
	Again, if I'm wrong, I mean seriously wrong about any of these, feel free to fast blast me and let me know and I'll certainly consider it.
	Okay, there you have it.
	We'll review some more in a while.
	In the meantime, we're going to go back to the absolutely fascinating predictions that you're making for 2010 in just a moment.
	Number 72 was a lady who interpreted her dream about spider webs and so forth to be the demise of the entire worldwide web.
	That was number 72.
	And now on to number 73.
	This would be, let's see, east of the Rockies, I believe.
	You're on the air.
	Oh, just a second, Mr. Murray.
	Good evening this is Janice and I am from upstate New York maybe 50 miles south of Syracuse.
	Hi Janice.
	And my prediction is there's going to be a couple big medical breakthroughs this year.
	One is going to be a cure for MS and the other one is going to be through the Johns Hopkins Center in Washington I think it is and it's going to be a A vision, either glaucoma or a macular degeneration.
	There's going to be a cure for one of those.
	Wow.
	Okay.
	MS and a vision cure.
	Yes.
	Okay.
	I guess both are entirely possible.
	I know they're doing a lot of serious research in both, so it certainly could be.
	You join the ranks of those with fascinating predictions.
	Thank you very much.
	All right.
	Thank you.
	Good evening.
	Take care.
	It's number 73.
	You know, there's really nothing else like what we're doing here.
	In other words, these are on the air.
	There's no hanky-panky.
	They're all recorded with numbers.
	And I just have this feeling that we're in a really good predictive phase right now.
	For some reason, you're just doing very, very well.
	Much better than I expected you would do.
	This year, and I'm not sure what to attribute it to, but it's good.
	Okay, let's go first time caller line.
	Your turn to make a prediction for 2010.
	What is your first name and where are you calling from?
	Mike, I'm calling from the Strip.
	In Las Vegas?
	Yes.
	Right in front of what used to be the Stardust.
	Yes, sir.
	Well, 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.
	Oh, you really think so?
	Well, at least the planning stages of it, not the actual fulfillment of it.
	Well, that would take time, of course.
	But they're going to announce that they're going to do it?
	Yes.
	That would really be something.
	I'd be in love with that idea, of course, but the funding for anything in space is very much on the back burner.
	So, do you think it'll be an international effort?
	Well, I sort of think it would have to be.
	Yeah, it certainly would.
	Interesting prediction, and you never know.
	I mean, we need something to look forward to, and I sure do miss space.
	Hey, listen, how's it going in Vegas for New Year's Eve?
	Well, we got the people wandering up and down the street so far.
	It hasn't gotten too wild yet.
	Well, let's see.
	You're only about, what, 17 minutes away from New Year's?
	Yes.
	All right, my friend, take care.
	All right, take care.
	Thank you very much for the call.
	Las Vegas, we're in 17 minutes.
	The New Year arrives.
	And think how long we've been in it here.
	It's just an amazing world in more ways than one.
	Wild Card Line, you're on the air.
	Hi.
	Hi there.
	Extinguish your radio, please.
	Okay, thanks.
	Name yourself and where are you?
	Good evening, Art.
	This is Carl calling from Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
	Yes, sir.
	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 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 freshwater 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 freshwater.
	Well, at some point, I guess it's inevitable, but that's a scary thought.
	Can you imagine fighting wars over water?
	I guess you can.
	Obviously, you're making a prediction.
	All right, your prediction is number 75, and I hope it doesn't come true.
	And thanks so much for a few moments of your time and coast-to-coast rules.
	Oh, you're very welcome.
	It's been so far an extremely well-behaved audience.
	I'm impressed with the predictions.
	I'm impressed with the demeanor of the callers.
	Let's go here, wildcard line.
	You are on the air.
	Good morning.
	Good morning.
	What is your first name and where are you?
	Karen in Colorado.
	Okay.
	The prediction I have touches a little bit on the first prediction made last night about Israel attacking Iran.
	Yes.
	And I believe they will.
	However, I do believe that Iran will retaliate using ICBMs and possibly do it with dirty weapons.
	And if they do, I believe that Israel will retaliate using nuclear weapons.
	Oh, I think they would.
	Technically, I think Iran does not have ICBMs, that's Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles, but they do have ballistic missiles for sure, and they can reach Israel.
	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.
	Unfortunately, what would happen with Iran attacking Israel is, are their guidance systems accurate enough to hit Israel, or are they going to hit Um, neighboring Arab countries.
	And then what would be the result of that?
	Nothing good.
	I don't believe it would be.
	Thank you very much, Art.
	You have a good New Year.
	Right, thank you very much.
	So a lot of people on that as well.
	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?
	I don't think so.
	It's not part of human nature.
	Wildcard Line, you're on the air.
	Good morning.
	Hey, how you doing?
	Very well, sir.
	How are you?
	Good.
	Man, I'm glad to get on.
	My name is Jeff and I'm from Cortville, California.
	Okay, Jeff.
	And my prediction is cattle mutilations.
	I think that in 2010 we will find out that They are, uh, it's a government conspiracy, um, or not so much a government conspiracy, but that big business is trying to put out the little guys.
	And I think that we will find out that, um, it's a big hoax.
	You know, they're trying to make it look like, uh, UFOs and everything just to put out, um, you know, the smaller businesses.
	And I think they're doing a good job at it right now.
	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.
	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.
	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?
	I hope so.
	All right.
	Thank you very, very much for the prediction number 77.
	And, Jan, how can that be?
	How really can it be that these cattle mutilations have been going on for so long?
	And we've really never caught anybody.
	I mean, that's almost impossible.
	So there has to be some sort of very strange answer to it.
	To the first-time caller line, you're on the air.
	Hi.
	Hi.
	I was going to say, I'm nervous.
	Oh, just relax.
	What's your first name?
	My name is Diane.
	Okay, Diane.
	Where are you?
	I'm in Mont Clemens, Michigan.
	Michigan, okay.
	Cold up there, is it?
	Yeah, it is.
	Yeah, I wish winter was over.
	It's about 80 degrees here right now.
	Yeah, I wish I was there.
	Okay, Diane, 78 is going to be your number.
	What is your prediction?
	Well, I'm predicting that We're going to see world peace.
	That's funny, I just mentioned world peace.
	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, what possible process could initiate world peace?
	Thinking more along, like, biblical lines?
	It would have to be biblical.
	Yeah, it would really have to be because, you know, the world has seen so much crime and violence And things don't seem to be getting any better.
	And if 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, 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.
	Okay.
	Prediction number 78.
	I consider it to be highly unlikely, but it would take a biblical event to do it.
	So she was right on there.
	I'll put it down.
	Number 78, world peace.
	World peace.
	I guess I shouldn't sound that way about it.
	I would love world peace, as would so many of you, I know.
	But I just, you know, it's so, so, so unlikely.
	Wild Card Line, you're on the air.
	Good morning.
	Hey Art, how you doing?
	Very well, sir.
	Thank you.
	Happy and blessed New Year to you.
	And I just wanted to say, if the Saints win the Super Bowl, and I'm Cornelius from Alexandria, Louisiana.
	If the Saints win the Super Bowl, the end of the world.
	All right.
	Wait a minute now.
	Are you predicting the Saints are going to win?
	Yes, sir.
	Well, that would be the end of the world.
	All right.
	God bless you.
	It's been a pleasure talking to you.
	OK.
	That's prediction number 79.
	Thank you.
	Thank you very much.
	Saints win Super Bowl.
	Well, you never know.
	I mean, strange things do occur, don't they?
	Let's go to another wild card line and say, oh, you're on the air.
	Good morning.
	Hey Art, this is Bad Boy Scout out here in Eastern Utah in the oil fields.
	I had a prediction for you.
	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 think that, I believe that it's going to skyrocket the murders along the border and into the United States in the next year.
	Why do you think that?
	Why do you think that will occur?
	All over drugs?
	I just, I feel that, I feel that that's what's going to happen.
	I feel that I feel that I've been moved away from that area of the world for protection, but I've thought that it's going to happen for a very long time, over maybe the last 10 years, but I felt like it was going to happen eventually, and I feel like it's going to be this year, and I think that it'll have to do with the economic
	More bad economic downfall in this country and it's going to affect them and they are going to... Okay.
	All right.
	No, I get it.
	That's number 80 and I get it, but I don't know that I agree.
	Now, of course, the drug situation along the border is one thing and that may well escalate.
	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.
	We'll be right back.
	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.
	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.
	Fairly safe prediction.
	Ding, ding, ding, ding.
	Let's see, number 87.
	Media admits peak oil is for real.
	Well, what to do with this one?
	Media admits peak oil is for real.
	There's still great argument about it, but I think there is general media Agreement that it's free.
	I'm gonna ding that be generous.
	I'll ding it Let's see 88 wet in the desert It was a particularly wet year in the desert, according to my friends, so I'm gonna be generous and ding that one, too.
	Number 89, a massive earthquake in Yellowstone.
	Thank God.
	That gets predicted, you know, every year.
	That's a bonk.
	Number 90, junk DNA is revealed not to be junk.
	Well, that's a bonk, but you know what?
	I think eventually that's going to be true.
	They're going to find that junk DNA is not junk at all, but has a function as yet not discovered.
	And then number 91, alcohol as fuel this year.
	Certainly that's a ding.
	And incidentally, here in the Philippines, I would say that about 80% of the taxi cabs are now running on liquid propane.
	It's interesting because you can tell immediately when you get into a taxi here that is not running on gas because the engines run rougher.
	Now, there may be a way to make them run as well on liquid propane.
	I have no idea, but they don't as a general rule.
	But they get you from here to there.
	And it is an alternative fuel, so it's being used very widely here in the Philippines.
	Most of the taxi cabs, easily 80-90%, are running on liquid propane.
	I thought you'd be interested in that.
	As I mentioned, the green movement really is moving around the world.
	It certainly has arrived here.
	More predictions for the year 2010 in a moment.
	Alright, a couple of hours to go and then this list gets sealed in the Bell Family Vault for another year.
	Let us continue with predictions for the year 2010 with a first-time caller from, I don't know, where are you?
	Yes, Art?
	Yes, yes, yes, yes.
	Yes, this is Derek from Indianapolis.
	How are you?
	I'm just fine, sir.
	How are you?
	I'm well.
	Thank you for taking my call.
	I just wanted to let you know I've been having this dream.
	I've had it a couple times where I'm observing like this prominent figure walking down the street.
	He's got cameras flashing as to indicate that he's a celebrity of sort.
	He's surrounded by people with cameras.
	Then he walks into a darkened room and I see him starting to gnaw on the flesh of humans.
	Oh my god.
	Yes, I know.
	I know it's rather morbid and I apologize for 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.
	Man eating a fan.
	Yes.
	Like I said, I must apologize for bringing in the new year on such a morbid note.
	That's a really weird prediction.
	And this came to you in a dream?
	Uh, yes.
	Yes.
	And I don't know, 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?
	I think it said, yeah.
	Wow, that's really nasty, but interesting.
	Well, I apologize.
	No, that's okay.
	Hey, hey, listen, this is Ghost.
	Anything goes.
	All right, thank you very much.
	Thank you.
	Take care.
	Number 81, weird.
	Celebrity eats human flesh.
	Maybe a fan.
	Why not?
	Everything else has happened.
	You're on the air, hello.
	Hi Art, this is Tawny calling from Roseville, California.
	Yes ma'am.
	I have a prediction that they are going to discover that Lake Tahoe is actually a volcano.
	Really?
	Yes.
	How do you get that?
	I mean, where does it come from?
	The number of earthquakes around the lake and When we've been up there many times, if you stop and look around, it really looks like the crater of a volcano.
	That's a fascinating observation, and it could certainly be true in the way the Ring of Fire is acting right now.
	You just never know, huh?
	So, I guess kind of like the pictures of that volcano in the middle of the ocean, all of a sudden, whoosh, out of the lake.
	Wow.
	It was quite terrifying.
	Okay, yeah, it would be.
	Duly recorded as number 82.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	Happy New Year.
	Right.
	There is something, 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.
	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.
	So the word homosexual becomes the word homophile.
	Homophile.
	Hmm.
	There certainly is a lot going on in the homosexual world, isn't there, in the homophobe world?
	In other words, people, same-sex marriages now in Mexico City, about the last place you would ever expect.
	And Brazil, as you said.
	Yeah, it's absolutely wild.
	That has not happened here yet, though, 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, you know, 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.
	Well, happy new year and happy new decade to you, Mr. Art Bell.
	Thank you.
	Same to you.
	Thank you for the pioneer that you are for all of us for all these years.
	I admire you so much for what you do and what you bring us and the risk that you take.
	God bless you for that.
	Thank you.
	Okay, I did what you said.
	I sat down and got deep into my soul.
	Oh, forgive me.
	This is Mary from Murphy, North Carolina, listening to you on 102.3 FM out of Chattanooga, Tennessee.
	That is the way to do it.
	Okay.
	Thank you, sir.
	And I got a couple of visions, and you can pick whichever one you want.
	You're the boss of this.
	No, no, no.
	Wait, wait, wait.
	I can't let you present two.
	Okay.
	Take the one you think most likely to become true and lay it on me.
	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 that I have felt since 2005 there is going to be an asteroid that hits a water.
	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 space, 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 try to stop.
	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 that 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, 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.
	Okay, but at least the space program part of it suddenly coming alive, you're pretty confident for 2010?
	Absolutely, they said 2010, it's like that's the clarion call.
	Got it.
	Alright, that is prediction number 84.
	Thank you.
	Thank you, sir.
	Wow.
	That also sounds likely.
	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, what's the right word?
	I don't know, there was sort of a national pride, a really, really big overwhelming feeling of national pride.
	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 is 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?
	Wow, Cardline, you're on the air.
	Hello.
	New Year's greetings from Sedona, Arizona, Art.
	This is Blair.
	Hi, Blair.
	Long time no hear.
	Yes, sir.
	Hey, my prediction has to do with Mother Earth sparting.
	Now, let me explain this.
	By this action in the sea, the seabeds fissuring and releasing gas, she'll rebuild the ozone around 2010 or so.
	What do you think?
	Um, I don't think that a sudden release of methane, if that's what you're talking about, and that shouldn't be possible.
	It should be other than the methane gas, and basically I think it has to do with the Jose Arguelles 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?
	It affects 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 Arguelles at a conference.
	No kidding.
	Listen, say hello to Graham for me.
	I need to do another program with Graham.
	He's a brilliant guy.
	Yeah, he's a new book supernatural.
	I worked with him about 15 years ago when he came to Dallas.
	And he was being videotaped for the Eclectic Viewpoint when his Fingerprints of the Gods book came out.
	He and his wife, Samantha, sat in my office before they were videotaped.
	Really sweet man and very, very brave man, too.
	Alright, your prediction of some sort of gas being released is 85, okay?
	From the oceans, the gas comes up from the fissures in the Earth through the ozone and replenishes the Earth.
	All right, got it, thank you.
	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.
	Hello.
	My prediction is that in August the worldwide financial collapse, or there'll be a worldwide financial collapse, and it'll be the prelude to getting a one-world currency.
	Really?
	Yeah.
	What do you think will precipitate it?
	Any thoughts on that?
	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, bucks to the new ones, you know, the various currencies would have to convert to the world currency, and there would be vast differences in the exchange rate.
	Right?
	Well, there would have to be because the various currencies now against each other are, you know, all over the place in what they're worth.
	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 like get a one world currency so that it will give people some hope that, you know, things are going to get better.
	What do you think a one world dollar would look like?
	Might even be just information.
	Yeah, it could be.
	That's fascinating.
	Alright, thank you.
	Thank you very much.
	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 serious 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.
	I'm trying to get her to say anything that's tough, but we're going to give it a try.
	Can you say I love you?
	Can you say I love you?
	Oh, eat your nose?
	Better say I love you then.
	I love, say I love you.
	I love you.
	Aww.
	What else?
	If I say thank you, can you say you're welcome?
	Welcome.
	Welcome?
	Say hi.
	Hi.
	She's now two and a half years old.
	Let's see, what else could she say?
	Can you, oh yeah, how about Santa?
	Say thank you.
	Thank you, Santa.
	Santa.
	All right, you can count two, right?
	One.
	Let me hear one.
	Okay, here goes the nose then.
	One.
	One.
	Two.
	Three.
	Four.
	Five.
	I can't hear you.
	Six.
	Seven.
	We're not going to get much.
	You put her in front of a microphone and she frees up.
	You want to say Happy New Year, everybody?
	Happy New Year to everyone!
	That's fine.
	Okay.
	Well, there goes Asia.
	Say bye-bye!
	Bye-bye!
	Say it again.
	I love you.
	Love you.
	Love you.
	Okay, there you go.
	All right, folks.
	That was Asia.
	If you could hear it, you've got good ears.
	We'll be right back.
	That's a strange thing about babies, I've noticed.
	If you put a telephone or a microphone in front of Asia, she will freeze up.
	And I mean freeze up.
	But any other time, you can't stop her.
	I mean...
	On and on and on.
	The minute you put a mic there, or a telephone, where she thinks somebody's listening, it's a total freeze.
	Anyway, back to predictions.
	Best year yet for 2010, and they sure are going to be fun to review next year.
	These could really be something.
	Incidentally, I'm corrected.
	The lake was Nyos in Cameroon, and the gas was CO2, but our ocean Our ocean floor, in many areas, is lined with immense amounts of methane.
	And I thought it was methane in Cameroon.
	I guess not.
	Okay, back to the lines and the predictions.
	First time caller line, you're on the air.
	Good morning.
	Hello, Art.
	Yes, sir.
	Well, this is great.
	You are out there and you are everywhere, I'll tell you.
	This is great.
	And listen, I've got a prediction.
	My name is Chris, by the way.
	I'm in Macon, Georgia.
	Okay, Chris.
	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.
	And there's a reason for that.
	And that would be?
	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, okay?
	And when people start doing that, I think we're all connected.
	Most of the time we're just distracted and we don't even know it.
	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.
	Yeah, I agree with you.
	I agree.
	What is yours?
	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 More visceral than ever before.
	And this will cause an unprecedented rise in religious fervor, causing more religious figures and institutions to appear than at 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.
	So what I'm going to write down here is, I mean, you just gave me a lot.
	I gave you way too much.
	I'm simply going to put down a rise in religion precipitated by some sort of events.
	How's that?
	Yeah.
	You know, you call it catastrophic events or dramatic events.
	I mean, whenever those things happen anyway, everybody pulls together.
	And I think that we're in for a couple of big ones this year.
	All right.
	Well said.
	We'll have to see what happens.
	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 wild card line.
	You are on the air.
	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'etat 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 war be toppled.
	But what will ultimately happen is that, as a result of it, there's just too much fear of getting into another war, and we will legalize all drugs in the United States as a result of it.
	Wow.
	I'm with you on the first part of it.
	The Mexican government, I suppose, given the amount of violence down there, could actually be taken over by the cartels.
	I think that much is Possible, if not probable, then the United States would have to do something.
	I don't think that something would be to legalize drugs, but I think that we'd make moves to Mexico, no question about it.
	Wow, what a fascinating prediction.
	Alright, it is going to be number 88, duly recorded.
	Thank you very much.
	Alright, thank you very much.
	Wow!
	That really is a wow, and internally possible, and kind of underway almost right now.
	It really, really could happen, and is, I think, close to happening right now.
	So, I'm going to give that one a lot of thought, number 88.
	Okay, to the west of the Rockies line, you're on the air, hi.
	Hello?
	Yes sir, you're on the air.
	Oh, hi Mr. Bell.
	Hi.
	I had a space-related prediction.
	Okay.
	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.
	I was going to say, it would show the Big Bang, right?
	I would imagine.
	I mean, if it's true that a galaxy that we see in the image, the Hubble Ultra Deep Field, 13 billion light years away.
	That's what it looked like 13 billion years ago.
	And scientists predict that the universe is only about 13 or 14 billion years old.
	That's right.
	I would hope that we can produce the technology to get something like that.
	Okay.
	All right.
	Well, duly recorded.
	Also interesting.
	And number 89.
	We are looking back in time.
	He's absolutely correct about that.
	And it may well be that we would see the beginning of it all.
	Somehow see it.
	I don't know.
	Fascinating prediction.
	And number 89.
	Let's go to a wild card line and say, good morning.
	You're on the air.
	My name is Dan.
	I'm calling from Oroville, California.
	Hi, Dan.
	Hi, Mr. Bell.
	Turn your radio off, please.
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	Sorry.
	I have a prediction that this year will be another year closer to the coming of the Lord.
	Well, that's... you're not saying the Lord will come, but is just another year closer.
	Right.
	I don't mean to sound stupid or anything.
	Well, you know, that's kind of like an automatic ding.
	Yeah.
	What I need from you is something that specifically you believe will occur in the year 2010.
	That's us just sort of saying another year will go by and... Right, right.
	Let me see.
	Just like any cut or wound, I believe that the economy will get better, because I believe that, you know, 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 best
	gen of freedom you know. That one I'll put down.
	Alright, thank you very much.
	Number 90, the economy gets better.
	That's entirely possible.
	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, and for the sake of all, I hope that's true.
	First time caller line, you're on the air.
	Hello.
	Hello.
	Hi, Art?
	Yes.
	This is Fred from Rochester.
	I have a prediction.
	Okay.
	It's kind of a sad one.
	Um, my prediction is that the United States is going to cease to exist.
	Oh my God.
	There's going to be a preemptive nuclear strike by China and Russia working together.
	Um, fortunately, um, Obama will fail to retaliate.
	So whatever remaining forces we have are going to be forced to surrender.
	And what the deal is, it's actually because in reality, he turns out to be a sleeper agent for China.
	But if China did that, they would be destroying their best customer.
	Yes, but they've already worked it out with Russia, and they're going to split what remains of the rest of the world between the two of them, and they're going to use low-yield nuclear weapons so that they don't have to worry about too much of the fallout.
	Okay, so you're talking about World War III.
	Well, it won't actually be a World War III because it's going to be more or less almost pre-arranged.
	Obama will fail to retaliate.
	Pre-arranged or not, sir, like a marriage, you know, if the United States was attacked by nuclear devices from Russia and China, I guarantee that's World War III.
	Yeah, but if we don't retaliate, there's not going to be much of a war.
	We'll take out the major political centers.
	Obama will stay intact.
	Okay, well I will record that, but it seems highly unlikely to me.
	Oh, God, you never know.
	It's hard to imagine Russia and China together deciding to eliminate the United States.
	Particularly hard to imagine China doing that, since we are their best customers, since we owe them so much money.
	What?
	Hey?
	I'm not here to judge.
	I'm here to record.
	Okay.
	Wildcard Line, you're on the air.
	Good morning.
	Hey, Art.
	Yes, sir.
	Hey, uh, this is Daniel, um, and I'm calling from Brooklyn.
	Hey, Daniel.
	And, uh, well, I've had, um, recurring dreams in the past, and every time I've had a recurring dream, uh, it's always come true.
	Uh, they're always minor, minor personal things, but nonetheless, they would come true.
	This dream that I've been having is not so much personal, and so it leads to my prediction.
	In my dream, I get up, and I look outside, and it's just utter chaos.
	There's fires in the distance, not so much near, but close enough for me to say, holy cow, I need to get out of here.
	At least not.
	And so, what is causing this?
	Can you tell me that?
	Yeah, I'm going to get to that in a second.
	So, I look outside and it's utter chaos.
	And then, I go to call my mother, who lives in Pennsylvania.
	She lives in a pretty secluded area in Pennsylvania.
	So, I want to get out of Dodge and head over to her place.
	So, I call her, but the long distance lines are already down.
	So, it's already started.
	Luckily, my TV still works, and I can put on the news, and I put on the news, and now this may sound like a joke, but it's not, so please bear with me.
	But on the news, under the breaking news caption, um, stuff is just scrolling by like crazy.
	Breaking news, breaking news, breaking news.
	And then, and they're interviewing Howard Stern on, on the news.
	And, uh, Howard Stern says that the chaos came from last week.
	Came from what?
	Oh, blast.
	Yeah, he's gone.
	Somebody at the network did me a favor.
	But I got it and I'm not recording it.
	92 coming up after the break from Manila.
	I'm Art Bell.
	We own the night.
	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, you know, just would have had to been here to hear it.
	And by the way, regarding the bababooey 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.
	This dream has been just recurring that Howard with his head in his hands 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 a 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.
	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 they 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.
	Hey, Art, how you doing?
	Very well, sir.
	And yourself?
	Great.
	This makes last decade and this decade, because I finally got through after God knows how many years.
	Well, listen, I don't like this prediction, but I had a dream, and I hope it's very, very wrong, that an East Coast port will have a container that has a small nuclear device in it.
	They will find it before it goes off.
	Oh, good.
	Well, I think that the part I don't hope is the part that the device, the part I hope is that they do find reports there.
	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.
	Certainly, it's entirely possible and I hope you're right and it's found.
	Thanks.
	You have a great holiday.
	You too, sir.
	Number 92.
	That one is also within the definite realm of probability.
	This would be west of the Rockies and you would be on the air.
	Hello.
	On my prediction.
	Happy New Year, by the way.
	Thank you.
	My name is John.
	Okay, John.
	Where are you?
	I'm in Pahrump.
	Pahrump, Nevada.
	Pahrump, Nevada.
	And listening to... K... K9.
	There you go.
	KNYE.
	Yeah.
	95.1.
	Okay.
	And your prediction is?
	My prediction is that the universe is round.
	And why I say that is because the cell From the smallest things to DNA to cell is round.
	The planets are round.
	Black holes are round.
	I believe the universe is round.
	I think that's entirely possible.
	So if you were to be able to travel and travel and travel and travel, you would eventually come back to where you began.
	Right.
	And I think they'll be able to prove it through light beams.
	That's an interesting statement.
	If the universe is round, well, wait.
	You're right.
	Light, even light itself, would not curve, but if it went all the way around, okay, I'm with you.
	But I don't know how they would prove it would.
	I don't think that would be one of the greatest discoveries.
	Okay, thank you very much.
	That's number 93.
	The trouble is, it would take so long, at the speed of light, to determine that we're not going to find out about that in 2010, are we?
	But the universe might be discovered to be round.
	Who knows?
	Fascinating.
	First time caller on the line, you're on the air.
	Good morning.
	Good morning, Art.
	How are you doing?
	Very well, sir.
	Thank you.
	My name's Rocky, and I'm from Riverside, California.
	Okay, Rocky, what do you think's coming?
	Well, I think by midsummer we'll find that there'll be some strange cancers appearing in real prominent persons.
	Excuse me.
	And they'll track it down to quantum mechanical robots.
	What?
	Quantum mechanical robots.
	Well, no, I got it.
	I just was surprised.
	Why prominent persons?
	Well, I haven't got that in my premonition.
	I don't know why.
	But I think at the same time they'll find that just your common people will have a lesser occurrence of cancers and it will be... Prominent people?
	Yeah, prominent people have bad cancers.
	The common people will have All right.
	occurrence of cancers and it'll be to the same quantum mechanical robots.
	Okay, all right, all right. Thank you very much for the prediction. I'm a little stumped about why
	cancer would attack prominent people specifically.
	But, again, I'm here to record predictions, not try and understand them, I guess.
	Wild Card Line, you're on the air.
	Good morning.
	Hi, Art.
	This is Jerry in Connecticut.
	Hi, Jerry.
	Happy New Year.
	I have actually, I would want to support a prediction made last night.
	It was going to be my prediction as well.
	For Dow 14,000.
	I think it was 14.5, but sure, Dow 14,000, huh?
	Yes, I was seeing that myself, 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.
	That would be nice.
	I know they have a plan to do that.
	And I would hope the economy would get that good.
	I just don't understand what will propel the economy.
	In other words, when the economy gets in trouble, presidents are famous for coming and saying, look, the basic underlying economy is sound.
	And that's something that I'm questioning these days, whether the basic U.S.
	economy, the underlying economy, really is sound.
	And that means the manufacturing base, the number of people employed, and so forth and so on.
	What is sound about the underlying economy?
	Well, I'm not sure.
	Yeah, I agree with you.
	I think it's more just a trick of how the financial sector is bouncing back.
	And I think the financial sector is going to be doing very well to begin with.
	Let me rephrase a question to you.
	Do you think that what's happening in the Dow or will happen in the Dow is going to translate to Main Street?
	I think it will slowly, but yeah, I think that the unemployment rate will probably come down gradually, but it's still going to be pretty high.
	Yeah, it's going to take a while.
	All right, Dow 14,000, an interesting prediction and could entirely well come true.
	Who knows?
	The Dow, in my opinion, doesn't necessarily reflect the health or lack of it of the underlying economy.
	But, who knows?
	West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
	Good morning.
	Hello, Art.
	I'm leaving the room right now.
	Sorry.
	That's okay.
	My name is Daniel from Bakersfield, California.
	Hello, Daniel.
	Hello, it's a privilege to be speaking with you.
	I'm 25 years old, and I've been listening to you for about half my life, I guess, so... Yeah, and I should get to my prediction.
	I was thinking about Google, and I just feel really weird about them altogether.
	They have a lot of power and information, so I necessarily don't trust them all that much, and I figure, well, I feel that this year a scandal will arise Well, somewhere within Google's corporation.
	A Google scandal?
	Yeah, I don't know who it will be.
	If it's someone at the top, or someone in the middle, or... 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, etc., etc., so... Maybe Google will take over the world.
	I was actually thinking about that, too.
	Well, thank you very much, Art.
	Maybe it'll be the Google Dollar.
	Okay.
	Thank you very much for the call.
	It was a pleasure.
	Sorry, I didn't mean to cut you off.
	The Google Dollar.
	Anybody hit, uh, I've been feeling lucky lately?
	There was a countdown going on.
	I guess it was to the New Year.
	I haven't figured that one out yet.
	Okay.
	East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
	Good morning.
	Good morning, Art.
	This is Chuck calling from Tampa, Florida.
	Listening to you on 970 AM WFLA.
	Oh, yes.
	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.
	So, in other words, computer AI.
	Yes, sir.
	Artificial intelligence.
	Yes, sir.
	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.
	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?
	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.
	It might be something that interesting.
	Okay, number 97, duly recorded.
	Thank you, sir.
	Thank you.
	I don't think that AI will occur until we get to the quantum computer age, and of course we're, you know, it's baby time for that.
	Wildcard Line, you're on the air.
	Hi, good morning.
	Good morning.
	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 the change in religion.
	I think this may help clarify that, hopefully.
	Okay.
	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.
	That's kind of general.
	A new church and a new religion?
	Well, no, not so much new.
	Just one that is considered to be outside of the mainstream.
	You know, and they'll make some kind of archaeological discovery that will... Like a holy grail?
	Something like that?
	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.
	Like the Church of Atlantis?
	Uh...
	That's a very interesting prediction.
	I suppose a new church, if they were to make a discovery of that magnitude, would suddenly grow and, you know, very interesting.
	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.
	Got it.
	All right.
	Prediction number 98, duly recorded.
	We shall see.
	This has definitely been the year of fascinating predictions.
	First time caller line, you're on the air.
	Good morning.
	Yeah, I wanted to make a prediction.
	Good.
	That's what we're here for.
	Okay.
	All right.
	I think in the year 2010 that there will be a nuclear device that will be detonated in the United States.
	All right, well 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?
	Yes, hello.
	Okay, great.
	I didn't know you were 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.
	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?
	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?
	It would absolutely open that door, of course, yes.
	Yes, of course.
	And a reasonable concern it is.
	All right.
	Prediction number 100.
	Thank you very, very much that the Chinese would eventually invade the Philippines.
	Again, though, I don't think the United States would fade that far into isolationism to allow that to occur.
	But one never knows.
	One never, never knows.
	I think there would be a lot of other signs before they ever got to the Philippines, I think.
	As I mentioned, Taiwan would be probably first on their list and that it would it would radiate outward from there.
	But what the man says is absolutely possible.
	You can't deny the possibility of Chinese expansion.
	I'll tell you what, this has been one really fascinating year for predictions.
	Absolutely, clearly the best that we've had.
	From Manila, the middle of Manila, actually.
	I'm Mark Bell.
	It's a brand new year.
	Been that way for a while.
	We'll be right back.
	Here I am.
	All right.
	I am told that Heath Ledger indeed won an Oscar.
	So number 96 is converted from a bonk to a ding, ding, ding.
	That helps a little bit.
	Alright, we're in the home stretch of doing predictions for 2010, now solidly in place across most of America, and we'll continue with prediction number 1-0-0.
	I wanted to get my email address in.
	I'm trying to answer my emails.
	I'm doing the very best I can.
	If you'd like to fire me an email, I am Artbell, A-R-T-B-E-L-L at MindSpring, M-I-N-D-S-P-R-I-N-G, MindSpring.com.
	Artbell at MindSpring.com.
	Be right back.
	Now, while I cannot record it, I can't help but repeat it.
	Hank in Ontario, up in Canada says, Al Gore becomes head of the Church of Climatology.
	I couldn't help that.
	You can fast blast me as we go on, if you wish.
	It's simply coast2coastam.com and then search out the fast blast opportunity.
	All right, back to Predictions Homestretch.
	Let's go to a wildcard line.
	Say good morning.
	You're on the air.
	Oh, hey Art.
	Hey there.
	Happy New Year!
	And like so many others, you changed my life.
	I don't know if you changed my life so much, but boy, I found a place to really go along with what I thought all along.
	You better get your prediction in before the Chinese invade the Philippines.
	That's true.
	And for your sake, I hope they don't.
	I'm gonna I'm going to switch gears here and go a different direction.
	I predict that the NFL will be exposed for the fraud it is.
	That basically it's all fixed.
	Oh.
	Oh.
	You don't really think that, do you?
	Oh, I do.
	I mean, you sound like a guy who's lost some serious bets.
	Well, no, no, no.
	I'm not a betting man because I don't want to jinx my own team by betting.
	This will help.
	What is your team?
	The Raiders.
	The Raiders.
	On the anniversary 2010 of the infamous fumble rule with the New England Patriots.
	No, I think that either a referee is going to come out And expose it, or a good reporter's going to expose it.
	But they're going to say that the NFL favors certain teams in certain years just to promote themselves.
	Just to promote the game.
	Okay, well I'll put it down, but I think it has, you know, a chance of ice cube and hell.
	But I'll put it down.
	Well, maybe it's more wishful thinking than anything else, Art.
	All right, prediction number 101.
	The NFL exposed as a fraud.
	Well, you never know about these.
	I mean, I laugh, I make jokes about them, but could happen.
	First time caller line, you're on the air.
	Hi.
	Hello, is this Mr. Art?
	That would be me, yes.
	Hello, this is Mr. Jack in Oxford, Ohio.
	Okay.
	I have really been enjoying the show.
	Well, thank you.
	And, you know, I'd like to compliment you also on your bumper music.
	It's just enough to kind of tickle that nostalgia in me.
	Love it.
	So here, I'm really going to shock you guys here, but I predicted the future.
	There will be no really big changes.
	It'll be pretty much the same old, same old.
	I don't believe there's going to be an apocalypse.
	There may be a crisis here and there, you know, pretty much like putting out fires and whatnot.
	No big changes is a good prediction.
	Yes, I'm not quite saying 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.
	So you think it's going to be a mellow year?
	Not mellow, but you know, in the years past there's 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's 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.
	Actually, I respect your prediction.
	No big changes.
	We never get a prediction like that.
	So yours is the first and that would be 102.
	No big changes.
	Wouldn't that be something?
	A year with, well, essentially nothing gigantic happening.
	I could handle that.
	How about the rest of you?
	So that's kind of an unusual prediction in itself.
	Wild Card Line, you're on the air.
	Good morning.
	Hi, Art.
	Hello.
	This is John in Reno.
	Hi, John.
	Hi.
	My prediction is that there's going to be a comet, a newly discovered comet visible to the naked eye.
	Okay, a comet becomes visible.
	Something headed toward the Earth or just passing by?
	Just passing by.
	OK.
	Also a very reasonable prediction.
	I think we're due.
	What do you think is different about this year's predictions?
	I mean, it's really been a different show.
	Gosh, you know, I don't know.
	That's a good question.
	That's a full moon tonight.
	Yeah, that's a good point.
	I mean, normally during a full moon, certainly on New Year's Eve, you would expect, well, chaos, right?
	Yeah, that's right.
	But we don't have it.
	Maybe those people who have been talking about a change in mass consciousness, maybe I ought to go back and ding those just based on the show alone.
	First time caller line, you're on the air.
	Hello? Hello? Hello? Yes, you're there.
	Can you hear me?
	Yes, yes, I hear you.
	Are you still doing predictions?
	That's exactly what I'm doing, yes, taking predictions.
	Well, I predict that whatever happened on 9-11, all the evidence will actually come out rather than just hearsay from everybody.
	9-11 evidence exposed?
	Yeah, exposed for what really happened.
	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, like, 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?
	Well, I mean, 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 a 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.
	So how do we know that it was really them?
	Okay, so you want... Gee, I thought there was a lot released.
	So you want tapes released?
	Yeah, like the actual boxes that were on the planes that supposedly were destroyed.
	I see.
	Okay.
	All right.
	Thank you very much.
	And that's prediction 104.
	Okay.
	Wildcard Line, you're on the air.
	Good morning.
	Hello.
	Hi.
	Hi.
	Is this on?
	It is.
	Hi.
	Um, it's wonderful to talk to you.
	Um, I ditto everyone in saying that.
	Uh, yeah, we just love you and thank you for what you do.
	Thank you.
	But, um, my prediction is, um, we all love JC Caller and I predict that, um, he finds some inner peace and a love for humanity this year.
	It's a miracle we were talking about!
	I know!
	It would be a wonderful thing and I just I really hope and I also believe that to be true.
	I had an email from JC recently something about his having tracked down his wife.
	Oh yeah!
	I was thinking about that as well this evening and how that's going for him.
	So who knows how that will happen but I am Yeah, if Jason finds inner peace, I would say that the world has changed.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Okay, number 105, thank you very much.
	That would be the miracle we were talking about.
	On the international line, you're on the air.
	Where are you?
	Hello?
	Hello?
	Yeah, who's this?
	Who were you expecting?
	Oh, that's me.
	Okay, I didn't realize that much of a delay there.
	Okay.
	It's Dave from Hamilton, Ontario.
	Okay, Dave.
	Welcome.
	Yeah.
	I'd like to mention that you just mentioned about the global consciousness picking up.
	You may have to go back and ding that.
	I might.
	Yeah.
	This is art, right?
	Yeah, no, you just mentioned about that a minute ago.
	I know, but I'm expecting a prediction from you.
	Yeah, no, OK.
	But I mean, things are getting better.
	I'm not ready to go actually back and ding those yet.
	But, you know, it is a very unusual night.
	Yeah, well, I went back.
	I mean, I had 29 last year talking about the power of intention.
	I see what's going to happen this year is the dichotomy between good and bad.
	Haggard's doing experiments with 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 J.C.
	will find inner peace?
	Actually, to tell you the truth, that's part of the spiritual movement that one of your callers mentioned, too, of the religious movement.
	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.
	Personal sacrifice.
	Right.
	Okay.
	All right.
	Well, I've got it recorded, and you never know.
	I mean, based on the show, it could be headed in that direction.
	Prediction number 106 is what it is.
	Thank you very, very much.
	Happy New Year to you and your family.
	It was fun listening to them.
	Take care.
	All right.
	This really has been something, hasn't it?
	First time caller of the line, you're on the air.
	I'm calling from North Portland, listening on KEX.
	Yes, sir.
	And my prediction is, I think Obama's going to give up Taiwan for, you know, to cancel out our debt, our national debt.
	You know, the United States might not act if the Chinese went after Taiwan.
	But I'm not sure that they would consider our allowing them to take Taiwan to be repayment of the debt.
	I think they're really looking for hard cash.
	Well, they want Taiwan pretty bad.
	And I think they'll probably eventually take it either way.
	Yeah, I agree.
	And still want their payback.
	Oh, we'll see.
	I'll put it down.
	Thank you very much.
	All right.
	I think this would be West of the Rockies.
	You're on the air.
	Hello, Art.
	Hi.
	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 it, 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 interlocked.
	I've just had this feeling for some time and I wanted to share it with you.
	Well, you remember the fancy pants bomber here recently?
	He paid cash for his ticket.
	Right, right.
	That should have been an immediate trigger.
	Oh, oh.
	We won't even.
	It would take us a week sitting here to have for everything that should have been done and shouldn't even had to.
	I mean, that's a whole nother show.
	You know what?
	I mean, it's so ridiculous.
	The list that 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 patents.
	I know.
	Look, when some guy's dad goes to a U.S.
	Embassy and says, listen, my son is mixed up with some bad people.
	I think he's a threat.
	And then he gets on an airplane and manages to go halfway around the world to do his dirty deed unmolested and untouched with a bomb in his underwear.
	You know, it makes you wonder, I mean, are they going to catch anybody?
	And or are they just going to spoil air travel for the rest of the world?
	It's really not a great deal of fun traveling internationally these days.
	It really isn't.
	Wildcard Line, you're on the air.
	Hello?
	Yes, turn your radio off, please.
	There we go.
	Yes, this is Chris in Ramona, California, eastern San Diego County.
	Yes, sir.
	Listening on AM 600 KOGO.
	And I'm off, Stephanie.
	And I'm going to go predict that Ed Dames will be judged on air, on coast-to-coast, via a critical mass.
	I'll leave that open to see which way he'll be judged, but I think he'll be judged on coast-to-coast, good or bad.
	Alright, I'll put that down.
	Ed Dames judged on the air.
	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.
	It's been just totally weird.
	I think I've got time for one more call.
	Wildcard Line, you're on the air.
	Hello.
	Hi, this is Tracy from Burnsville, Minnesota.
	Hi, Arp.
	Hi, Tracy.
	Okay, I have a prediction for you.
	Um, well, okay.
	I did what you told me to do and I meditated and what I got was that there's gonna 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 gonna happen is I feel like they're gonna not have any evidence of a security breach no evidence of tampering and so it's gonna be like this mysterious unknown and That actually shakes people.
	All right, a nuclear reactor detonates.
	Unlikely.
	They generally, as a rule, melt down and don't detonate.
	Now, there can be gases that accumulate and cause a kind of an explosion, but they don't detonate in the sense of a nuclear device.
	All right, well, listen, this has been one hell of a show, one hell of a prediction segment.
	We've done 110 predictions.
	We'll now seal them in the Bell family vault, examine them in detail next year.
	And all I can tell you is it's been a wonderful set of programs.
	Thank you all very much.
	The behavior was mind-boggling.
	So, I'll be here next time they call my name.
	In the meantime, from Manila, Philippines, I'm Art Bell.
