June 10, 2002: Visions - Gordon Michael Scallion

Internationally recognized intuitive Gordon Michael Scallion joins Art Bell to discuss visions and probable futures after Stephen Quayle's dirty-bomb warning. Art opens with the arrest of dirty bomb suspect Jose Padilla and welcomes Quayle, who argues that a radiological weapon could render an entire city uninhabitable for years. Quayle warns that weapons-grade plutonium is available on the black market and that official media coverage drastically understates the true danger of such an attack.

Scallion recounts the 1979 incident in which he suddenly lost his voice during a business presentation, was hospitalized, and began seeing vivid images of pyramids, strange craft, and altered maps of the Earth. These visions, initially dismissed as a reaction to IV fluids, proved to contain scenes that later came true. Over the following years, Scallion developed a system of viewing probable futures through what he describes as three screen-like images of varying intensity.

Art and Scallion discuss the massive Colorado wildfires devastating the Denver area, the emerging El Nino pattern, and how Scallion's map projections show dramatic geographic changes to North America in the coming decades.

Key Moments

  1. How Scallion's three-screen visions work: Scallion explains that his visions appear as three TV-like screens, with the center being the most likely outcome and the side images representing lesser probabilities, so what he sees is never an absolute prediction.

  2. The 2000-2012 group consciousness window: Scallion describes a vision he says he received over 20 years earlier of the 2000 to 2012 period as a 12-year window where the individual matters less than the group, and where collective consciousness develops measurable psychic power.

  3. Major New Madrid quake forecast: Scallion forecasts that earth changes begin on the West Coast, but that before that, within roughly 12 to 18 months, a major quake exceeding magnitude 8, possibly 9 or 10, will strike the New Madrid Fault, with another major quake hitting New York.

  4. Pole-shift origin of the Grand Canyon: Scallion claims his visions show the Grand Canyon was not carved over millions of years by glaciers and water, but was torn open in a sudden pole shift that separated the land before water moved in afterwards.

  5. Headlights over the mountains, 10 years on: Art recalls Scallion's earlier on-air vision of Southern Californians fleeing east through the mountains after a catastrophic quake, and Scallion confirms that this West Coast tearing is still ahead, now placed after the New York and New Madrid events.
