Art Bell welcomes self-described intuitive Sean David Morton for a wide-ranging discussion on geopolitical predictions and classified military operations. Morton claims contact with Pentagon officials involved in a program called Operation Foresight, which reportedly uses remote viewers and intuitives to track terrorist threats against the United States. He describes being given a coordinate to view and locating what he believes is Osama bin Laden in an underground facility near the town of Khost on the Afghan-Pakistan border.

Morton discusses a 1994 "soul transference" experience in which he claims to have visited approximately 100 years into the future, witnessing a restructured North American continent divided into 13 nation states. He connects that session's prediction of chemical attacks on Washington, D.C., using a "red mercury" device to current intelligence briefings about al-Qaeda acquiring radioactive isotopes. He also relays claims that six nuclear suitcase devices were smuggled into the United States, with only two recovered.

The conversation shifts to a New Scientist report on anomalies in Earth's magnetic field suggesting a possible pole reversal. Morton references Project Nanook findings from the 1960s and a Rand Corporation simulation predicting the magnetic poles could migrate to the equator, with potential consequences for satellite systems, animal migration, and human cognition.

Key Moments

  1. Operation Foresight: psychics inside the Pentagon: Bell reads from Morton's pre-show notes: Morton claims a New York contact has linked him to a Pentagon project called Operation Foresight, using intuitives and remote viewers to track terrorists, locate Osama bin Laden, and watch for a 'red mercury bomb' aimed at Washington, D.C.

  2. 1994 'Vajra' prophecy: NYC attack, Islamic Jihad war: Morton recounts a 1994 channeled session in which the entity 'Vajra' - said to be his future-self speaking from a hundred years ahead - predicted a terrorist attack on New York City at the turn of the century, a global conflict against 'the Islamic Jihad,' and a confederation led by an Iranian named Jamal.

  3. Magnetic pole heading for Russia, dipole going to zero: Bell raises a New Scientist article on the magnetic pole moving so fast it will soon be in Russia. Morton ties it to Project Nanook (which mapped multiple north magnetic poles in flux) and to Vajra's 2012-2014 short-circuiting of Earth's magnetic field - the dipole approaching zero.

  4. Dow to break record by August 2002: Working with Israeli mathematician Dr. Eli Aliman, Morton predicts the Dow's floor near $9,950 then a major upward wave to break the all-time record (then $11,780) by August 2002 - at the cost of the Nasdaq.

  5. Late-May Nasdaq crash to as low as 693: Between May 15 and June 1, 2002, Morton forecasts a 'gigantic' downward move in the Nasdaq, with a worst-case bottom of 693 on May 25, more likely a floor between 1,375 and 1,172 - then a bounce back up by August.
