Art Bell Vault: China & Military Technology / HAARP & Surveillance

Just for Coast Insiders, the Art Bell Vault offers a curated collection, currently containing more than 500 programs, with two vintage shows added to the mix each Wednesday. This week's offerings are a pair of classic programs, beginning with an enlightening episode from 7/1/07 in which Art was joined by journalist Charles R. Smith, who expressed his concerns about China's militaristic practices, which he described as "asymmetrical warfare" involving supplying proxy nations with weapons to be used against the United States and thousands of US-based companies conducting espionage.

Next, we journey back to December 10th, 2006, for a prescient edition of the program wherein Art spoke to renowned author and lecturer Dr. Nick Begich about emerging technologies that have since become commonplace. To that end, he observed that cell phones and car navigation systems could be used as “roving wire taps” to track an individual's movements and actions. Similarly, he predicted that biometric face scanning would eventually be widely used for identification purposes, as seen in airports today. During his appearance, Begich also discussed the possibility that HAARP could be used for both weather manipulation and mind control.

These vintage programs have commercials and breaks removed and are presented in multiple platforms-- available on-demand for Mac, Windows, IOS, Android, and the Coast app. Many of them feature rare "5th" hours of content from back in the 90s when the show had a longer running time. We do include Art's beloved bumper music, which became such an indelible part of his program.

And for the true Art Bell fan, we offer different listening options to fine-tune your experience, such as guest-only, and full show streams. Coast Insiders, we're very happy to bring this offering to you at no additional charge to your subscription!
