June 16, 1999: Comet Lee - Stewart Best | Goodbye Terence McKenna
Published 1 year, 9 months ago
Description
Art Bell opens with an emotional conversation with Terence McKenna, who reveals he has been diagnosed with a stage four glioblastoma, the fastest-moving brain tumor known to medicine. McKenna describes his seizure, the gamma knife procedure that destroyed roughly 90% of the tumor, and the doctors' prognosis of six to nine months. He reflects on love, mortality, and consciousness existing beyond the body, while Art announces the Terence McKenna Research Foundation for listener support.
The program shifts to Comet Lee, recently discovered by amateur astronomer Stephen Lee in Australia. Earl Crockett and Gary Goodwin of the Millennium Group challenge NASA's dismissal of any potential Earth effects, arguing that comets are plasma discharge objects rather than dirty snowballs. They contend that electromagnetic interactions between the comet, the sun, and planetary alignments in September 1999 could trigger significant solar events and extreme weather.
Stewart Best then connects Comet Lee to Nostradamus prophecies about a great king of terror arriving from the sky in the seventh month of 1999. He links the comet's trajectory through the constellation Cancer and its timing near the August 11th solar eclipse to specific quatrains, while also noting Bible code references to September 1999 upheavals.
