if i ran this place in the way you apparently want me to, it would be dead in a week.  if the current atmosphere around here (which didn't manifest out of nowhere, btw) doesn't fit your sensibilities, you're welcome to stop reading.

Ouch.

[Dr. MD MD]

I rarely do.  It's got to be a guest or topic I'm really interested in.  Graham Hancock was the last one I listened to.  And it was pretty bad.  I then listened to Hancock on MITD, which was much better.  But then I listened to Joe Rogan's interview of Hancock, which was even better than Art's was.

Rogan is very good when he has an interesting guest on. Sometimes it gets a bit boring when he's talking to his comedian/fighter buddies though.

Yes, I read here sometimes so, One last Message,
The reason I am leaving Social Media is not because of anything said about me, I have a very thick skin developed over Decades, I have always held my own on Bell Gab. The reason I left is the horrible things that we're starting to appear about Heather Wade who is doing the show now. It seems to me that some of this is being promoted by people with envy or worse motives, She is a strong Woman but this stuff was in the gutter and below.

The incredible crap being cooked up about me is to much to even respond to in detail, but a couple of things:

People say how does it make my Family safer to be off air? Of course it does because I am at least here with them, as opposed to being in a Guest House a couple of hundred Yards away. My Wife asked me to stop because of my Daughter and I admit I reacted emotionally by saying what I did about not being on this night or any night. I understand I can not take those words back and the damage has been done. I am just Human and reacted as such, not a company with PR and I say what is on my mind at the time, I have always done that, many times not to my benefit.

The  first incident was of some person who was seen by a Neighbor drive up, fire several rifle shots at or in front of my Guest house Studio and drive away fast, she could only offer a dark vehicle as what she saw. She was Interviewed by the Police and I am still trying to get that report released. What they did release was the call by the second Neighbor who heard but did not see the Gun Person but was the first to call, I didn't even hear it, I was on air with loud headphones.

The next incident involved one of my motion sensor lights that went on before I was on air, I only got a short glimpse of somebody near my Studio window who quickly ran from site into the Desert, I did file a report.

Finally there was I am convinced, a shot fired at me along with a couple of shouted words like "you were" as I was about to unlock my Studio gate, that is all I heard because I hit the ground fast because it was pitch black, I called my Wife because we have almost no cell service here (we are in a valley of the valley) and was using WiFi which warns when you get it does not have 911 ability, she called the Police for me, I remained on the ground till they arrived. I did tell the Police I thought it was a .22 but did not rule out a firecracker.

I did get a phone threat on the 18th of November but did not report it because I get many along with email threats. I have been told again and again by the Police over the Years that people who talk, do not DO, so I didn't report it, I just went the air that night, frankly I thought it was just some jerk trying to join in the fun?  However, Heather on the 19th without my knowledge or request did report the call to the Police. When the next incident happened on the 23rd the Deputy did ask me about the report of the call made by Heather and I confirmed it. I also got instructions on how to mark a call if I got another.

I am so very disappointed in Bell Gab who I thought was for the most part my friend. Now I am simply sad that a group that has in fact helped me in the past in several
ways does not rally around one of their own (Heather) when 4Chan decides to try to ruin her show with prank calls and negative and in some cases, comments so bad   they are Slander. In fact it seems Bell Gab is more interested in hearing a train wreck of a show then any show at all. Over a long period of time I have tried to help everybody involved in the Network including Richard, Ross, and now Heather in every way I was able. Yes my help to Richard stopped after things I will not talk of here. I have NEVER lied to any of you and yes it hurts to think that you believe I did, but I will live through it. Now that the damage has been done and now that Heather is on the air doing her best every night why would you hurt her through action or lack of it? She is one of your own as I thought I was. At least I tried to keep a alternative show on the air, do you really want to kill that? I have no way to know if the danger is over or not, we can only hope and stay alert.

I also see some people say I wanted to stop the show because I was tired of it? That has to be the craziest of all, I LOVED doing it, I spent a lot of money to get it going and it sure was going great and most of all I was having a blast doing it, didn't that come through? I understand now the harm words can have, I was tired, scared, stressed out with a Family who asked me to stop and I said that was it, so yes the stations are going or gone, Heather is doing her best, please don't say or do things as I did, or your alternative will be gone. My thinking is she is getting better by the day.

I was thinking that I could come back and do a show every now and then but after the assault on Social Media and the hate toward me and even worse Heather, it is a open question, your right I am old now and maybe enough is enough, I see many of the old regulars are gone, Bell Gab is in danger of losing it's Soul.

Whatever, man.  It started out as something good.  It ended badly.  Not a good death at all.

And it's my opinion, that you went off half cocked.  I might have as well given the circumstances. 

Heather?  I like her.  I like her a lot.  She is definitely gonna have to run and hide herself away fm the real world, or put on her big girl panties ( I will loan her a pair of mine, they are cast iron and fireproof).  *shrug* 

Wish you the best ART. 

I was a longtime listener.  Told everyone about you.  Always a fan.  Never a fanboy. 
     
Now, I'm just some guy.

I know. It's just that I don't think any of the "Noory might not be as good as Art but at least he's reliable" comments are winning anyone over. Of course Art Bell fans hate that he's not on the air. We're still not motivated anymore by that to give Noory another try though. There are a lot of shows to choose from in the genre now and in talk radio in general. I'll listen to Art if he comes back on but in the meantime there are plenty of non-Noory related shows to choose from 

You're still missin' me, bro.

When I say, in one form or another, that  "Art Bell sucks", it in no way implies that I believe George Noory has stopped sucking and we should all go back to listening to him.

I'm just sayin' Art Bell sucks.

[paladin1991]

George Noory is not a fucking quitter, He is the man. Art is a fucking loser and a quitter. Art is a leader of the dumbest people in the world. Art is a fucking loser and a quitter because he has thin skin, smokes to much weed and his followers are weed smoking basement living losers.

Oh shit!  Look everyone.  It's fucking Dave.   Again.

[Night Train]

Rogan is very good when he has an interesting guest on. Sometimes it gets a bit boring when he's talking to his comedian/fighter buddies though.

Right.  It's the rare guest on Rogan that I want to listen to.  No interest in most of his topics.  But when he does an interview with a guy like Hancock, it's a great listen.

[bellNwhistle]

I like Howard Hughes.

*Haven't listened to Rogan's show, but I did like when Art interviewed him.. and I think I've watched one of his stand-up shows on cable.

I like Howard Hughes.

I have just heard about him here on BellGab.  Looking forward to checking him out.  Everyone has spoken highly of him so far.

[bellNwhistle]

I keep meaning to find out when his show actually airs on DM.. for now I'm just listening to his old shows.  Love his voice.

It's obvious that Art was working from the shadows to direct members of this site to harm Hoagland's show because of their spat, yet he's up in arms when the same is done to Heather.

Careful now or the shit brigade will whine about how it's okay because Art is a "great host" and everyone else is inferior and deserves their shitty treatment.

Sucks for quitting again this way? Sure, maybe a little but that's his business.
Sucks as a broadcaster? NEVAH!!!

I'd like to hear Ross' comment on this before saying anything about it.

[paladin1991]

Keep in mind, True Believers, you're not mad at the "trolls." 

You're mad at Art.  He has once again violated your trust, broken your faith, and made you look like fools by quitting.

And then he rubs it in your face with this "stalker" nonsense.

But Art's your hero, and blaming him for the way he treats his fans would seriously mess with your head, so instead you take your hatred and rage out on the people who aren't afraid to point out what he's doing.

Whatever, man.

[Night Train]

Whatever, man.

Indeed.

[SixWeekTenure(tm)]

I'd like to hear Ross' comment on this before saying anything about it.

Understood but it's not necessary. Art is an amoral hypocrite and can't take the heat when it's brought back on him.

[Chronaut]

I just listened again to Howard’s interview on The Unexplained (all of his shows are available to download for free on his website) with Robert David Steele, because as an ex-CIA agent I was hoping he’d discuss the US covert online psyops programs.  He didn’t talk about that, but he has a lot of fascinating and incendiary things to say about Wall Street banks, the total corruption of politics, our dysfunctional and unsustainable corpocracy, and the wage enslavement of the human race.  Oh yeah, and also the stupidity, ineffectiveness, and enormous cost of US intelligence agencies.  This guy doesn’t pull â€"any- punches…really fun to listen to.  Poor Howard was on the edge of his seat through the whole interview, lol:

Howard's a delightful host.  He really loves broadcasting, and he's a super nice guy who loves paranormal subjects.  Good show, ole boy.  He's also a lifelong fan of Art and I'd love to hear Howard interview him someday.

[Dr. MD MD]

Understood but it's not necessary. Art is an amoral hypocrite and can't take the heat when it's brought back on him.

I guess you really showed him then. Glad you're out there white knighting to protect us against morally had people like Art. I feel safer, anyway  :

Thanks for the suggestion. I've only listened to the Hitler, Jesse Ventura (JFK) and DB Cooper/Moon Landing episodes, so far. Great stuff!

What's the context on this one?  I haven't been listening to Richard's show and don't know what's going on with it.

[bellNwhistle]

THAT.. and, Art seems to be taking the heat pretty well. Better than many probably would. JMO.

[Autistic Star Children]

Hey Art, you wrote a long post. I'm very surprised you didn't quit before finishing it.

Bellgab will be around whether you're here or not. There's even a thread discussing renaming the site. I'm all for it. Art can go vanity somewhere else, after his comments earlier.

Merry Christmas Everyone~!

[Night Train]

What's next for Art if he wants to return to broadcasting?

MITD is touch and go right now, and it's very likely it won't survive.  If it doesn't, Art will never be able to convince Keith or anyone else to build him another platform.

Terrestrial radio?  After he flaked out just a few days after MITD was picked up by KLIF and KABC, two of the biggest stations in two of America's biggest cities, his career in terrestrial radio is over, and it's never coming back.

Satellite radio?  The less said about that, the better...

So, if Art ever does want to return to the airwaves, could it even happen now?

I'm no Sean David Morton, but I believe there is still a future in broadcasting for Art Bell: Citizen's Band radio

We're all committed Art Bell fans, right?  So how about we all pick up and move to Pahrump, Nevada?  Every night for three hours we'll all drive up and down Art's road while he broadcasts his show over CB radio.

He did quit, when he finished it.
