This is an amazing story being reported this morning .. Andy Kaufman’s brother has now stated that his brother is alive.. And even more, there is a woman claiming to be hid daughter! All known information said that Andy Kaufman, the legendary comic, died of lung cancer. The movie MAN NO THE MOON seems to show Kaufman’s real battle in the end with the disease.. However, we also know that some have spoken of Kaufman’s then obsession that would fake his own death. And now family and purported family are saying he is alive and well.. This is a fascinating story.. If you believe they put a man on the moon..

Four Marines lose their lives during training accident at Camp Pendleton.. Heart truly goes out for them and their service.. *terrible typo corrected, thanks Charles!*

A massive sinkhole has opened in Chicago and is now threatening homes on the South Side..

Sex sells. Even health care. You can sell health care two ways, perhaps. On one hand, you can show young professionals without insurance, struggling to get by, working long hours, trying to make ends meet for their families, and battling to stay healthy–Obamacare comes along and now can aid them in their struggles. Or, on the other hand, you can just remind them that they can have more sex. Apparently that is what Colorado Consumer Health Initiative, along with the ProgressNow Colorado Education, are doing in their ‘thank Obamacare’ campaign.. they decided to go with a new advertising campaign, aimed at 20 somethings, telling them that when you find out your partner has insurance through the affordable health care act, you can bang him/her. A history of inspiring government propaganda now being replaced with sex..

Businesses making big cuts in workers’ hours to meet Obamacare mandate..

More secret service prostitution news.. This time an agent left a bullet in a woman’s room and was removed from his position after trying to get it back..

Is America the loneliest country in the world?

YES it’s true, ET was originally going to be a horror movie.. On coalSpeaker, I describe how even though it wasn’t, the movie scared me anyway as a kid..

#FREEARTBELL campaign explodes; Legal representation advises Art Bell

Art Bell existed at night for decades–and his loyal squadron  of fans now does, too..
The BELLGAB message board was set on proverbial fire last night when a user, named “Surmo,” issued a statement on the website concerning Art Bell’s legal approach to fighting his non compete with Sirius XM. Surmo wrote, in full:

On behalf of Art Bell, I am issuing a statement to the participants of BellGab, the fans of Art Bell, and even Art’s enemies. 

A number of days ago Art and I made contact in regard to his legal issues involving Sirius XM, and now Premiere Radio and Coast to Coast. Art’s desire is to return to the air as soon as possible, and he wanted me to investigate his legal options. Art instructed me to look into each and every option, and by that he meant every option, after which he will decide which avenue to select to return to the airways. Every option is on the table, but the preference is for a quick return in a format that Art prefers. 

Art Bell is not a businessman, and he made a mistake trusting those who perhaps should not have been trusted. He is now assembling a team in order to correct that mistake, and will make his decision fairly swiftly. It is gratifying to note the legal hurdles do not look nearly as significant as initially feared, and I will present Art with a number of legal options in the very near future. If that is what is required to get a show on the air, Art will proceed with one of those legal options, though the final decision remains with Art Bell. 

Those of you who have ideas on how to proceed with the ground troops, i.e. BellGab itself, should feel free to send me a personal message with your ideas. Videos, posting at certain sensitive websites, and other such actions, are all encouraged if done in a legal manner. On a more personal note, in doing due diligence I have been allowed to review much of the existing “back room” documentation, and it is everything Art has stated and more. The failures of the Sirius system have been consistent and widespread, with documentation to support this, and which Art approached Sirius with from Day One. Records of this exist. I have instructed Art not to get into too much detail on this until such time as a final legal team and plan of action have been selected. Suffice to say, the other side frequents this website regularly, and it is wise not to show our hand until we decide to play it. 

In conclusion, all legal or other options are now being evaluated. Art will make a decision in the near future on how to proceed.

Immediately, there were joyful reactions–and also some users who doubted the authenticity of the message. The HORROR REPORT has done its due diligence in contacting the user on BELLGAB but at this time have not been given a response. Presumably, everyone needs to sleep at some point… So stay tuned, we will share whatever information we can in addition to the statement that was posted last night.

There were other posts, such as this and other other cryptic messages from a board user Coaster.. the user was alluding to actions he was privately doing all night, calls to Sirius XM, and work on Facebook and Twitter. A message that he wrote directly to Coast host George Noory was equally bizarre:

I cant say what I was trying to sdo, because, I get it. Noory reads this shit 24-7. wanna play chess? What would happen if a nobody whooped your ass today..

Things are getting ‘schtrange.’

Meanwhile on Twitter, the hashtag FREEARTBELL is being tweeted in big numbers. The Sirius XM Facebook page is being overwhelmed by comments and users writing messages asking Sirius to unbind Bell from his non-compete clause.. Even Art Bell was grateful and surprised by the outpouring emotion..

There are images being made to support the phrase. And undoubtedly, videos are sure to follow..

Will Sirius XM release Bell? Will the users overwhelm the system?
The pirate flag has been raised…
The battle cry is born: #FREEARTBELL.

For George the Bell tolls: Art Bell taking legal steps to fight non compete clause as he unleashes on Coast host Noory

There may be a non compete to stop Art Bell from broadcasting…

…but it sure isn’t stopping him from speaking his true feelings on George Noory..

Art Bell spoke to Michael Vandeven on GABCAST last night, and now today is following up with some harder core comments regarding his departure from Sirius XM and George Noory..

Yes, it is not a fight I want, but it is one I WILL have.

I have asked to be released from the NC and got a no first time around, now I have asked again and taken steps with Legal help. We shall see what develops. As for thinking George is a nice guy, those days are long gone. 

He should feel the sharp knife of hypocrisy stab him every night when he “thanks me”, I told him what a piece of crap he was after he put Oates on in language that would make most Sirius/XM Hosts blush, still he does it either because he has been told to do it or he really woves me, I prefer the former.

 The HORROR REPORT has previously reported on the David Oates controversy. Oates said some less than kind comments about Bell when  the talk show host was going through personal crises. Noory had Oates as a guest in September–right before Bell’s initial venture onto Sirius XM.
As we know now, the brief stint on Sirius XM ended with a bang–Bell departed with the typical fanfare that accompanies his actions. Immediately after Sirius ignored Bell’s request to stream his program on ArtBell.com, they replaced his show with none other than Coast to Coast AM with George Noory. Noory confirmed on Bellgab that negotiations were taking place presumably while Bell was still hosting DARK MATTER on Sirius XM! 

These new comments tonight seem to signify an angrier Bell, and perhaps one who is more apt to fight his non compete than the resigned Bell that existed only days ago. One must assume that the airing of grievances is not over–and that the airing of Coast to Coast AM in the Indie 104 time slot Bell occupied only a week ago is a call to arms for the talk show host and his squadron of fans.  Already today, Twitter trends included #FreeArtBell and message boarders from bellgab.com and other sites suggested that they were calling and emailing Sirius XM in protest, demanding that Bell be released from his non compete clause.

Some have suggested that the clause may have already been nullified by Sirius itself! 
Bell confirmed that he received information in writing from Sirius XM indicating that their online streaming reach was worldwide. Bell said he did not investigate that claim fully and only came to learn after beginning DARK MATTER than Sirius’ ability to faithfully stream shows was less than perfect, and often meager attempts with time outs and error messages.
Even further, with Bell stating that his words to Noory would make other Sirius hosts blush, you’d wonder how brutal the words may have been. Howard Stern blushing at Art Bell’s insults? Hopefully Asia was put to bed before Art unleashed!
The fight appears to be just beginning. 
Will Art Bell win.. or will #FreeArtBell be a grasp for straws?
Time will tell..
“Somewhere in time…”
