August 12, 2015: Open Lines - September Doom

Art Bell opens the phones after a guest cancellation and discovers a defining theme: widespread dread about September 2015. Americans are stocking up on emergency supplies anticipating economic collapse, natural disaster, or judgment.

He cites a Lloyd's of London report projecting potential global collapse from food and… Full show notes & guests: https://artbellarchive.org/episode/august-12-2015-open-lines-september-doom
