The title of this post is obviously written as sarcasm.. there’s no chance Art Bell maintains any connection to Coast to Coast AM besides the Somewhere in Time broadcasts that he wants ended at the Noory ‘thanks’ at the end of nightly shows ..
But last night, a connection from the past reared its head.. And Bell responded.
David Oates is a reverse speech expert, playing people’s sentences backwards to find hidden meanings .. And by saying Oates is an ‘expert’ may be an overstatement..
Nonetheless, he was a guest on Coast to Coast AM with George Noory last night –the first time on the program in more than a decade.. He was banned by Art Bell years ago over strange allegations that Oates and Robert Stephens made about Bell. There was even a lawsuit.. At the time, they accused Bell of molesting children, being involved with militias, and attempting to ‘ruin’ Bell’s reputation. The lawsuit from the last century was one of the first major pieces of litigation involving the notion that a person can by cyber-bullied by another.
The lawsuit is printed here for the record … At the time Clyde Lewis wrote up an interesting article in which he defended Stephens and Oates.. (Oates was just on Ground Zero a few nights ago, showing that Lewis still supports Oates’ notion that reverse speech is accurate, but it especially reinforces the fact that George Noory copy/pastes everything Ground Zero does) ..
And after last night’s showing with David Oates, the guest banned years ago, Art Bell said this on his Facebook page:
Last night Coast did the most shameful thing since George has been in that seat, I am just sad for them.
From defamation of character to main guest on Coast to Coast AM, days before Art Bell’s Dark Matter is set to premiere on SiriusXM radio…
As the talk shows turn and churn.
The Oates appearance set off a firestorm on the Coast Facebook page–causing moderators to delete a number of comments.. on Bell’s Facebook thread, most who know about the Oates and Stephens history with Bell have expressed their anger, as well..
