Art Bell welcomes futurist and visionary Gordon Michael Scallion, editor of the Earth Changes Report, for a detailed examination of planetary upheaval and the forces driving accelerating weather catastrophes. Scallion recounts the health crisis in the late 1970s that triggered his prophetic abilities, when a mysterious woman appeared in his hospital room and showed him visions of future earthquakes in Mexico and San Francisco that later came to pass.

The conversation delves into Scallion's theory that the core of the Earth has shifted, forcing magma into new pathways and releasing heat into the oceans, which he identifies as the true cause of El Nino. He connects this internal process to the intensifying solar cycle, predicting solar flux counts reaching 500 and warning that massive flares could trigger a magnetic pole shift. He forecasts record-breaking tornadoes, unprecedented floods, and hailstorms with softball-sized stones for the year ahead.

Scallion also addresses geopolitical predictions, warning that political unrest in Turkey will escalate into a broader conflict engulfing the Middle East and Europe. He discusses Y2K vulnerabilities, the symbiotic relationship between solar activity and Earth's magnetic field, and his belief that while humanity has passed the fail-safe point for preventing global changes, localized communities can still prepare and adapt.

Key Moments

  1. The hospital vision that ended his old life: Scallion recounts the night his voice locked up mid-presentation, and how alone in the hospital with Carson about to come on, the room filled with dancing blue lights, fog and floating symbols, terrifying him as a lifelong technical engineer.

  2. The schoolteacher who gave him the test predictions: Scallion describes an elderly schoolteacher-like woman appearing in the room and telling him a devastating earthquake will hit Mexico in 1985 and another San Francisco in 1989 - and that if those come true, everything else she shows him assuredly will too.

  3. A magnetic pole shift triggered by a solar flare: Scallion predicts a coming massive solar flare will trigger a partial magnetic pole shift of about seven degrees west, three times in succession, instantly changing the planet's high and low pressure points and unleashing 300-400 mph winds and Empire-State-sized tsunamis.

  4. Inside the Earth: a plasma core wrapped in 49 layers: Scallion rejects the iron-core theory and says his visions show the Earth's core as a high-intensity plasma surrounded by 49 layers of alternating polarity - effectively a giant motor coupled electrically to the Sun.

  5. The 1987 deadline humanity missed: Scallion says his guide warned him 1987 was the cutoff: humanity needed to stop underground nuclear detonations and stop using secret weather-control weapons being developed by three nations, or the coming changes would be far more severe.
