Podcast: The Art Bell ArchivePublished On: Tue Mar 04 2025
Description: Art Bell welcomes geologist Jim Berkland, who warns of an approaching seismic window based on missing pet reports, extreme tidal forces, and electronic anomalies detected by colleague Jack Coles. Berkland outlines how the February 27th full moon, coinciding with the closest lunar perigee of the year, creates conditions ripe for a significant earthquake along the West Coast. Coles goes further, predicting a magnitude 7 or 8 event based on unprecedented electronic interference patterns.In the second half, microbiologist Dr. Philip Tierno discusses the mechanics of bioterrorism, germ transmission, and the anthrax attacks that followed September 11th. He reveals that the Daschle letters contained weapons-grade spores of extraordinary purity and explains how aerosolized anthrax remains his greatest bioterror concern. Art and Tierno also explore how emerging diseases jump species, the risks of international air travel spreading pathogens, and the unsettling number of microbiologists dying under suspicious circumstances.The conversation shifts to everyday germ exposure as Tierno shares findings from sampling New York City hotspots, from taxi seats to money, revealing the invisible microbial world riding on every surface. He emphasizes that 80 percent of infectious disease spreads through simple contact and urges basic hand hygiene as the strongest defense.
