April 16, 1998: Conspiracy Theory Movie - Bruce Wallace
Published 2 years, 1 month ago
Description
Art Bell welcomes Bruce Wallace, who claims to be the real-life inspiration for the Mel Gibson character in the film Conspiracy Theory and the ghostwriter of the original screenplay. Wallace says his manuscripts were plagiarized by Hollywood after the CIA censored his work, and he holds Writer's Guild registrations predating the movie's copyright.
Wallace describes joining the Marines in 1974 and being recruited into a secret intelligence unit connected to MK Ultra and Project Phoenix. He alleges he was tasked with identifying double agents who had infiltrated classified communication centers at Camp Pendleton and elsewhere. He claims the programs involved mind control conditioning, drug smuggling cover-ups, and the elimination of witnesses who threatened to expose the operations.
Art presses Wallace on how he has survived decades of alleged assassination attempts and why he remains alive if powerful forces truly want him silenced. Wallace says he relies on a network of allies and refuses to live in fear. A caller then phones in claiming firsthand knowledge of military drug distribution channels, adding an unexpected layer to the evening's conversation.
