Podcast:The Art Bell Archive Published On: Wed Oct 15 2025 Description: Art Bell welcomes Major Ed Dames for a New Year's Day conversation that begins with a gold-hunting adventure. Dames describes his team's attempt to locate a stagecoach robbery stash near Flagstaff, only to find a new house built directly over the site. A second expedition south of Pahrump uncovers gold-bearing soil so saturated with mineral deposits that the metal detector goes haywire, but yields no nuggets suitable for a dramatic presentation at Art's gate.The discussion shifts to catastrophic predictions. Dames reveals a map posted on the show's website pinpointing the next nine-plus magnitude earthquake off the northwest tip of New Guinea, projected for March 2005. He explains that his remote viewing team will now systematically forecast major geophysical events in sequence, each prediction triggered by the occurrence of the previous one. Art presses him on why the recent tsunami was not foreseen, and Dames acknowledges his team was focused on other targets.The conversation turns to animal behavior during the tsunami, with not a single animal found dead despite 150,000 human casualties. Dames connects this to the nature of mind itself, arguing that animals lack the mental clutter that blocks precognitive signals in humans. He describes mind as existing outside of time, making what humans call precognition simply cognition for creatures unburdened by linear thinking.
