Show Notes
Art Bell welcomes David Oates back to the program to present reverse speech analysis on a wide range of subjects. Oates begins with his foundational research, playing recordings of infant children whose babbling, when reversed, reveals clear and startling phrases. He then moves into political reversals, including Bill Clinton's inauguration and press conferences, where hidden statements emerge from forward speech.
The program takes a darker turn as Oates presents his analysis of the Harlot interview, the self-proclaimed Satanist who previously appeared on the show. Her reversals reveal a disturbing mix of anger, blasphemy, and unexpected vulnerability, including a heartbreaking statement about her deceased son. Oates also shares chilling reversals from an FBI press conference on TWA Flight 800, where officials appear to contradict their own public statements.
Art describes death threats and harassment Oates has endured for his controversial work. Near the end of the broadcast, one of Art's studio webcams captures an inexplicable photograph showing a strange cloudy mass around his head, taken at precisely 1:26:21 AM, a timestamp that reads identically forward and in reverse.
