May 15, 2002: Remote Viewing - Ingo Swann & Paul H. Smith | Bioterrorism - Steve Quayle

Art Bell returns after a two-week absence caused by an unidentified fever that reached 104 degrees, left doctors baffled, and later spread to his wife. He connects his experience to a breaking story of 18 British soldiers quarantined at Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan with a similarly unidentified contagious fever. Bioterrorism author Steve Quayle questions the British Ministry of Defense's immediate denial that the illness is a biological attack, noting the presence of hundreds of local workers with potential Taliban sympathies on the base.

Quayle warns that genetically altered pathogens from former Soviet bioweapons labs are now in unknown hands, and he highlights the theft of 96 barrels of sodium cyanide in Mexico as another emerging threat. He urges listeners to educate themselves about biological agents and strengthen their immune systems. Art also addresses the breaking revelation that President Bush received intelligence warnings before September 11th about potential al-Qaeda hijackings.

Remote viewing pioneer Ingo Swann and former military remote viewer Paul H. Smith then join to discuss the program's history and termination. Swann reveals that the CIA ended the remote viewing research not solely for political reasons but because the training process was producing telepathic capabilities, threatening the secrecy on which governments depend. Both guests express frustration that the program was disbanded despite its demonstrated operational value in counter-narcotics and intelligence gathering.
