Art Bell welcomes psychic and futurist Sean David Morton, who presents evidence of his longstanding warnings about terrorist attacks on New York City dating back to 1992. Morton references appearances on Hard Copy in 1995 where he described a series of attacks and a white cloud covering the city, and a 1999 newsletter featuring a police sketch he drew of the face he kept seeing in visions, which he identifies as Osama bin Laden.

Morton lays out a detailed military scenario, predicting that U.S. forces will launch operations on October 16th with a multi-pronged attack targeting Kandahar in Afghanistan and northern Iraq simultaneously, supported by Turkish and British forces. He warns that the war will extend well beyond Afghanistan and forecasts an eventual broader conflict between Islamic extremists and the Western world lasting decades.

The conversation covers Nostradamus quatrains that Morton and colleague Robert Egan believe describe the World Trade Center attacks with startling specificity, including references to towers contracting and a name resembling hijacker Mohammed Atta. Morton also warns about long-term health consequences from the massive asbestos cloud released when the towers collapsed, a danger he believes the media has largely ignored.

Key Moments

  1. 1995 Hard Copy prediction of a New York attack: Morton replays his Nov 17, 1995 Hard Copy quote predicting 'a nuclear attack on New York City' and 'a series of terrorist attacks,' with a vision of 'a sphere that explodes like the sun' and white snow covering the city.

  2. 1994 soul transference -- 27 years of war ahead: Morton recounts a Tibetan 'soul transference' done in August 1994 in which his future self predicted New York hit by EMP and flood, D.C. destroyed by 'red mercury,' and a 27-year war from 1998-2025 between China, the Islamic Jihad, and the West.

  3. Mabus, the man in the blue turban, the Persian prince: Morton walks through Nostradamus' three antichrists (Napoleon, Hitler, and the unnamed third) and reads 'Mabus' backward in a mirror to spell Saddam, while pointing to a third mastermind coming out of Iran.

  4. Why the psychics didn't ring the alarm: Morton answers Art's central question: in July and August he and his New York contacts had racking sobs, insomnia, and a feeling 'the entire world was crying' -- ripples backward in the time stream rather than a specific image.

  5. October 16: 'we will unleash hell': Morton commits to a specific date -- October 16, 2001 -- when Bush will publicly launch the war, with the 82nd and 101st Airborne to Pakistan, a primary target of Kandahar, and a second prong of 30,000 British troops via Oman into Basra.
