Radio host Art Bell suddenly ended his long-running program this weekend, citing alleged threats made against him and his family.
The Pahrump Valley Times reports the 70 year old radio personality called it quits after months of what he has described as “never-ending terrorism.”
Bell says shots have been fired outside his residency, and that he has spotted trespassers near his home late at night.
He also says he received a phone call in November saying that if his radio program aired that night, both Bell and his family would be killed.
In December, Bell says he was walking on his property and someone fired shots at him, but police found neither any suspects nor any evidence a gun was fired.
The Nye County Sheriff’s Department opened an investigation into the case, but has closed it due to a lack of evidence.

This is just crazy. Looks like he will have to go underground.
Robert P
Can’t be about his show? Could it?
Kim S
Sure it is…he speaks the truth…well in his way.anyone that does that will get a big whip ass….but were a lot stronger than that right?

I always liked his shows. Jealous people? Let’s hope it doesn’t happen to Wes! I hope they catch the person who is threating him.

Velkomm, Comrade, to Das United Schtates auf Amerika!
Heaven forbid anyone get too close to the truth of things. The people doing this, and I use this term “people” very loosely, are as American as Egyptian vultures. They are jack-booted thugs. A**-wagons of the highest order and deserve the be sent to live out their days in a communist country of their choosing.
May one day, they “get theirs” and be exposed to the full light of day to shrivel in such exposure as salted slugs on black pavement in July in Death Valley, California. Merry Christmas, you iceholes and bastiches – may you all get huge lumps of coals in your stockings – better yet – fresh horse pucky – because that is exactly what you are “gifting” others. May you receive double portions.

Not buying it. Low ratings maybe and not making any $ or just bored with the show…yet AGAIN. No one’s shooting at him. He’s full of chit.
SHANNON D
Yep, he bailed two years ago on XM same crap…
Steven B
Perhaps I jumped the gun a little on this one then…however, considering all the other crap certain nefarious characters engage in – I don’t foresee an apology, for my remarks about them, forthcoming from me. I will, however, in the Christmas spirit, limit the horse puckies in their stockings to 2 a piece…

Well I guess if I ever start a show of my own someday I will have to set my studio up inside a bullet proof shipping container!,poor guy I hope this is a rumor as I really enjoyed listening to him over the years.

I agree with all you said, Steven B. I think his departure is due to getting too close to the truth about any number of things. Loved his shows and consider this another loss for alternative media.

Perp…seek destroy and kill…,..at all levels

Thought he quit several years ago and Noory took over. Quit listening to coast to coast as it became all about psychic crap and stupid ghost stories.

And just a FYI…Art Bell is what is called a disinformation agent/controlled opposition. The field of Ufology, etc., is full of them. Other examples of disinfo agents are George Noory, Alex Jones, Jeff Rense. The list goes on forever. The field of Sasquatch would be no different. There will be disinformation agents, posing as experts, trying to control the Bigfoot narrative to suit an agenda.
