Episode Details

Art Bell welcomes investigative journalist Linda Moulton Howe and reporter Chris Ruddy for a two-part program examining bioterrorism fears in the wake of September 11th. Linda reports on the alarming anthrax cases in Florida, where two American Media employees have tested positive for inhalation anthrax, and interviews Dr. Donald Henderson of Johns Hopkins about the threat of weaponized pathogens. She also introduces a promising decontamination technology called nano bombs, developed at the University of Michigan, capable of destroying anthrax and smallpox without harming living tissue.

Chris Ruddy discusses the broader implications of the attacks, arguing the government is withholding critical information from the public about bioterror preparedness. He reveals that a Russian government economist predicted a devastating financial attack on America months before September 11th, and raises concerns about missing nuclear suitcase bombs from the former Soviet arsenal.

Art shares news of Rush Limbaugh losing his hearing and announces plans to conduct a mass consciousness healing experiment the following night. The conversation spans anthrax preparedness, geopolitical threats from Iraq and Russia, and whether America is truly ready to confront a new era of unconventional warfare.
