From the desk of Art Bell

Though he is not on the air right now hosting MIDNIGHT IN THE DESERT, the talk show legend is active on Facebook.. A few posts recently have shown his allegiance to Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton in the campaign for president in 2016..

A few days ago, Bell used the Facebook platform to write two separate posts: One simply said “Clinton” and the other “Trump.”  The outrage to BOTH was almost immediate. 

The reaction caused Bell to write this on July 24, 2016: 

Experiment concluded: as you can clearly see below I simply made two posts without comment, one called Trump and one called Clinton. The results confirmed what I expected. Mostly they were filled with hate directed at me with people thinking it meant I was in support of one or the other, further hate was directed at the Candidates and of course other people who posted. What do you think this means about us?

As the DNC convention continues and Donald Trump’s fiery rhetoric does as well, Art Bell went further in some commentary tonight on the social network:

Does the Democrat party think Trump can turn back time like Direct TV? They keep saying he is calling for the Russians to hack the 30,000+ Emails that Hillary deleted, that Felony already left the station. Come on Media, get it right.

Longtime listeners dating back to the Coast days will recall Art as a renegade libertarian, chain smoking antidisestablishmentarian.. hellbent on questioning the system and authority.  He also was not a Clinton fan during the 90s.. the contempt seemingly has continued through this year’s election, with Bell taking a positive position on the Trump candidacy since early in 2015 when the billionaire announced he was running for the White House.

The interesting part of the post today came in the comments. Those following the Art Bell saga know he was sick as of late, with two hospital stays in Nevada. Bell said this in a comment to his own post tonight:

Well I had a very close call, very nearly had answers to the biggest questions I always asked on air. I am trying to get stronger but I had very serious pneumonia, could not get air, now trying to get stronger, it will not be fast

He was close to death… Those ‘big questions’ he always talked about on air? Death and what happens after. 

The hope and prayer of fans is that he returns at least in part to the Heather Wade hosted Midnight in the Desert. 

Especially during an election.
Especially THIS election.. at this time.

Dave Schrader had a great Darkness Radio show last night for his weekly true crime Tuesday series .. The subject: Who took Johnny Gosch with the guest being the documentarian who created ‘Who Took Johnny.’

This is an immensely important 'cold case’ .. It’s only cold in the eyes of some who lost interest as the years went on since Gosch’s abduction in the early 80s..

I was amazed and happy to hear Schrader taking about the Franklin Credit Union cover up, the links to global high powered pedophile groups, and the fight that Noreen Gosch never gave up.

I have been an avid follower of this story for years.
If you’re just beginning, start by listening to the Podcast on iTunes of this Darkess Radio from last night, (7/26/16) and go from there.. Still existent on YouTube: Watch the Franklin Credit Union cover up documentary–something that was going to air in the 90s but at the last minute not permitted on American television.
And while you’re at it check out Noreen Gosch’s website .. Then decide for yourself and take any and all precautions to secure your family appropriately.

Artificial intelligence writes ‘perfect’ horror script, seeks crowdfunding

Artificial intelligence writes ‘perfect’ horror script, seeks crowdfunding:

If you thought the future of AI was still to come, brace yourself for this..

EW reports,

Impossible Things, an independent horror film project from Greenlight Essentials’ Jack Zhang, was reportedly produced (in part) by an augmented intelligence software tool which analyzes audience response data to help writers craft plot points that connect with viewer demand. The result is Impossible Things, a project billed by its creators as “the scariest and creepiest horror film out there.” The software co-wrote the film’s script.

AI also helped the filmmakers target a calculated demographic by packing a “specific” trailer with key scenes and developing “perfect” plot twists for Impossible Things’ plot, which tells the story of a grieving mother who, after the death of her young daughter, succumbs to a sever case of supernaturally-induced insanity.

….and really… could it be much worse than some of the rubbish written and produced by Hollywood today in the horror market?

ISIS 'to attack London NEXT' jihadi messaging service claims

ISIS 'to attack London NEXT' jihadi messaging service claims:

London is next on the list of target cities for twisted jihadis along with the US capitol Washington DC, it has been claimed.

Images threatening attacks in London and other major world capitals have been posted on jihadi messaging app Telegram, according to SITE Intelligence Group.

One picture chillingly shows New York’s Statue of Liberty engulfed in flames but with the caption “Washington soon” - referring to the US capital 225 miles away.

The threat comes as security at British churches is being ramped up amid a newterror alert after ISIS knifemen forced a French priest to kneel before slitting his throat on camera.

Julian Assange Says Hillary Clinton "Should Be Worried" About Next Wikileaks Release

Julian Assange Says Hillary Clinton "Should Be Worried" About Next Wikileaks Release:

HEATSTREET WRITES,

Julian Assange, Wikileaks’s founder, insists that they — and their candidate Hillary Clinton — have something very serious to worry about. In an exclusive interview with ITV, Assange insisted that he had more to drop on the Democratic nominee, including, possibly, information related to her private email server. The dump, Assange claims, will contain “enough evidence” to indict the former Secretary of State.

Assange: 'A lot more material' coming on US elections

Assange: 'A lot more material' coming on US elections:

Hillary may be making history tonight as the first female candidate to be nominated by a major party.. but THE ROCKING IS NOT OVER.. THE POLITICAL LANDSCAPE IS NOT DONE BEING WARPED.. THE LATEST:

Wikileaks founder Julian Assange said Tuesday his whistleblowing website might release “a lot more material” relevant to the US electoral campaign.

Assange was speaking in a CNN interview following the release of nearly 20,000 emails stolen from the Democratic National Committee by suspected Russian hackers.

However, Assange refused to confirm or deny a Russian origin for the mass email leak, saying Wikileaks tries to create ambiguity to protect all its sources.

You don’t know her as Youree Dell Harris, but you know her as...

You don’t know her as Youree Dell Harris, but you know her as Miss Cleo.. Today the world found out that the famed would be could be isn’t psychic from TV commercials died at the young age of 53..

She was famous in the 1990s with her “call me now” tagline.. I recall her as I grew up on late night TV… the wee hours of the night for me were filled with many things. And at many points, the background noise of my youth was this woman’s voice..

As the New York TIMES reports.

But her fame also led to questions about her past. In 2002, The Seattle Post-Intelligencer published an investigation that revealed she had a list of aliases and a longer list of former colleagues on the local theater scene who said they had been cheated out of money and questioned her Jamaican background.

“She had no Jamaican accent — she was born and raised in L.A.,” a former cast mate told the paper. (A copy of a birth certificate posted by BuzzFeed in 2013 showed that Ms. Harris was indeed born in Los Angeles on Aug. 12, 1962.) Information on her survivors was not immediately available.

In 2002, the Psychic Readers Network and Access Resource Services were the subject of a federal lawsuit that ordered the companies to forgive $500 million in customer fees. The networks agreed to stop selling their services over the phone, and, according to the Federal Trade Commission, the companies agreed to pay a $5 million fine.

And with that, the star that was Miss Cleo failed to shine bright at night.

What makes me sad is that she was not Miss Cleo. She was a human being. 

And today Harris died of cancer.

scarystoriestouploadinthedark: One of the greatest things I...

scarystoriestouploadinthedark:

One of the greatest things I have ever seen (and I have only seen of of the 8 episodes so far) is the original NETFLIX show STRANGER THINGS.. 

There are so many things to speak of.. the 1980s nostalgic feel (especially for people like me who were incarnated in then Reagan era) .. The throwback quality to a Speilberg or Stephen King story.. the mystery of Will Byers and the town of Hawkins, Indiana coupled with some amazing acting and character development.. 

The music of the series, besides featuring some pop hits of the 80s, also sounds a lot like the score from IT FOLLOWS. The set designs and color is true to the 80s and is similar to the movie HOUSE OF THE DEVIL, which was also set in the 1980s but made in the modern era..

Thus far, only one show into the season,  I have nothing but praise for STRANGER THINGS and honestly can’t wait until my next free hour to continue the ‘binge.’  A binge on shows between work, parenting, and soccer practice can get rough.

Spoilers will abound if you read certain reviews.. I will not spoil anything, but instead just argue that you need to join in the fun and get watching this series.. I implored friends and family. And now you, my readers..

Watch Stranger Things.
