Art Bell sits down with author James Gardner, who presents a provocative hypothesis that the universe was deliberately engineered by a superintelligent being in a prior cosmic cycle to be life-friendly. Gardner argues that the physical constants of nature function as a cosmic equivalent of DNA, encoding a program designed to yield life and ever greater intelligence. He points to the precise fine-tuning required for carbon production in stars as key evidence for this biocosmic design. Gardner… Fu...

Art Bell welcomes Major Ed Dames , retired military intelligence officer and remote viewing expert, for a wide-ranging discussion on predictions that appear to be coming true. Dames points to a record-breaking X-48 solar flare from November 2003, which he identifies as the "shot across the bow" he had long predicted would precede a catastrophic solar event he calls the kill shot. Dames reveals a new harbinger for listeners to watch: when a space shuttle mission is forced to abort due to an inten...

Art Bell welcomes Richard Heinberg , author of The Party's Over, for a sobering examination of global oil depletion and its consequences for industrial civilization. Heinberg explains that worldwide oil production will likely peak between 2006 and 2016, after which no amount of investment can reverse the decline, and that 24 of the world's 44 major oil-producing nations have already passed their production peaks. The discussion covers the geopolitics of petroleum, including how pricing oil in U....
