Art Bell welcomes Richard C. Hoagland and former NSA analyst Vance Davis for a wide-ranging discussion that begins with the mysterious North Korean missile launch over Japan. Davis, one of the "Gulf Breeze Six" military intelligence personnel who went AWOL in 1990, claims current sources inside intelligence agencies told him the missile firing was a deliberate scare tactic aimed at a Japanese nuclear facility rather than a simple test. Hoagland supports this assessment based on his own separate… Full show notes & guests: https://artbellarchive.org/episode/september-1-1998-gulf-breeze-richard-c-hoagland-and-vance-davis

Art Bell hosts remote viewer Major Ed Dames, who had urgently faxed the show days earlier with a warning he wanted broadcast immediately. Dames reminds listeners that roughly two years prior, he predicted a global economic collapse arriving in late spring or summer of 1998 and asserts that the prediction has now materialized. He warns that people fleeing the stock market into U.S. government bonds are making a grave mistake, claiming his remote viewing data shows the United States will default… Full show notes & guests: https://artbellarchive.org/episode/august-26-1998-remote-viewing-ed-dames

Software engineering consultant Edward Yourdon, author of Time Bomb 2000, joins Art Bell to break down the Y2K computer crisis from the programming side after live Hurricane Bonnie coverage from North Carolina. Art takes calls from residents enduring 100-mile-per-hour winds and widespread power outages affecting 240,000 people. He also reports on a severe geomagnetic storm caused by solar winds exceeding one million miles per hour, noting unusual observations about the sun appearing intensely white with no visible yellow component.

Yourdon explains that programmers in the 1960s deliberately truncated year fields to two digits, assuming the software would be replaced long before 2000. He reports that according to metrics expert Capers Jones, the point of no return for fixing the problem passed at the beginning of 1998, with only 25 percent of programmers at major companies currently assigned to Y2K work. He identifies the "iron triangle" of utilities, telecommunications, and banking as the critical systems at risk, revealing that zero out of 7,300 U.S. utility companies are currently Y2K compliant.

Yourdon shares his personal preparations, including leaving the stock market and relocating from New York City to Taos, New Mexico. He predicts regional blackouts, dirty power conditions lasting weeks, and a recession potentially rivaling the Great Depression.

Art Bell interviews Joel Skousen, a high-security designer and consultant who authored Strategic Relocation: North American Guide to Safe Places. Skousen identifies two primary strategic threats facing the United States: the Y2K computer crisis and a future nuclear attack from Russia that he believes Western elites are deliberately inviting. On Y2K, Skousen partially disagrees with Gary North, arguing that while computer systems will not be fully compliant, manual workarounds exist for most… Full show notes & guests: https://artbellarchive.org/episode/august-10-1998-strategic-relocation-joel-skousen
