Here is an article that looks to be making the play that the Eastern Bigfoot or Skunk Ape is different than the regular Bigfoot of the PNW. http://frontiersofzoology.blogspot.c...pe-tracks.html
You might recognize Gordon Mullett, I did, from the Leigh Hart video of the Ohio Bigfoot Conference, when Mullet said, he never saw one of those in a Walmart, as he squeezed and offered Leigh a bag of Bigfoot feces. http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Pmlm_GiVX6...13816464_n.jpg Here is the Leigh Hart video , at 10:46 the Gordon Mullet part starts https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dY0_SWjqAB8 |

I'd just like to pop in and say that Northern Lights has kept his word and held up his part of the bargain.

That is an example of a Chiasm, which is a literary device, not logic.
It is the strongest form: A-B-B-A. Another example, with a weaker form is A-B-A-C: Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Chiasms are like poetry or a song, and are used by charlatans like preachers. An augmented form has rhymes like the A-B-A-C form "The Bible says Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve". Anyone can make them up. Control your emotions, before your emotions control you. A-B-B-A. Harry, you made me laugh thanks in a post above. Hello to everyone. I'm in the promised land on another Roger Patterson re-creation and it's already one for the record books. When I get back I'm taking my 'dozer 38 miles into the wilderness hauling fuel, ATCO units, and equipment for the gold miner I expedited for last winter. He's into the gold. So hopefully we'll see bigfoot. Why people have to BLAARG is beyond me. I'm gonna be back out where an outfit abandoned a quarter million dollars of stuff, a whole turnkey operation a few miles from my buddy just because the main dude died getting it out there. And in the meantime, I'm going to stay out of a third world hell-hole prison for my mom, but just barely. The trick is, like black holes, riding the event horizon without being sucked in and stretched out like a noodle. The excitement, the glory, romance, the risks and bone-chilling fear in BLAARGING like NL's story of X and Y with the bones and all... too much for an old man. |

ABP are you in Thailand? Where are you? Last I heard you were in the Philippines fighting ISIS or something.

Due to the latest Deep South deep freeze, shouldn't there be frozen footies turning up all over the place? Maybe the deep state is hiding them.

He left us with a book telling how science is misbehaving because science should be chasing down Bigfoot.

When I was 12 the 'scientist talks Bigfoot' books were required reading. John Napier was a big one then. What is it these present day clowns want all the other not-Bigfoot-scientists-but-scientists-nonetheless to do exactly? Foolishly look past their own judgements of reality and science (amongst other obviousness) and buy into some folklore fantasy simply because they're scientists? Wow! Meldrum et al aren't asking for more regular folk to come drink the Kool-Aid, just more "science" people. How antithetical should a scientist be about their own profession?

Here we go. It's an 18 minute Youtube¹ video titled "12 people observe Bigfoot for combined 14 minutes Uinta Mountains" by the Rocky Mountain Sasquatch Organization. Hmmm, 12 people for 14 minutes as explained in an 18 minute video and not a single in or out of focus Bigfoot picture in the bunch. It's 18 minutes of generic video of the (I think) Uinta mountains countryside as the voice-over guy tells Bigfoot sighting stories. "So hot right now." But that's not the funniest part (maybe beyond contemplating what the 12 excuses were for not using their cell phones in any way).
The sixth comment down a guy (landl47) writes: "Showing scenery while telling a story isn't evidence. Where's..." The very first direct reply to that comment is from the RMSO honcho: "What are you doing to help get clear open footage of a bigfoot? Not to be a troll, but right now I do not know who you are & I am hearing all talk & no action. Really? Are you donating time or a few bucks on a bigfoot project? Are you spending the time & money it takes to get into bigfoot sighting locations so that you have an actual small chance of finding the creature if it happens to exist?..." I bet I laughed for 10 minutes. Just sharing. ¹ The stupidest thing you can do on any one day is get started watching YT videos. |

Previously we've posted about our favorite creep in the "Seen today in Blue Ridge, GA" thread, but anything further on him probably belongs here. Hence.
Amongst his much creepiness is also a condescending *** wipe. Here's one of his Internet vlogs. He states in it clearly, it's Feb. 1, 2018 3:55 PM. And for the next 15:41 he raves on and on about how stupid everyone is. Oh and rants again (using those creepy pointing fingers) about everyone needing to devote their lives to watching ALL of his videos starting at the bottom <pointing down> and working your way up <pointing up> so as to become ultra educated about every last one of even his most minor thoughts. In this video there's not a cut, an edit, he doesn't cough, sniff, LAUGH, take a bong hit, nothing. He simply basks in the love he has for listening to himself speak about how important it is to listen to him speak. So the video ends and now it's 4:10:41 in his world. What do you think he does at 4:15:00, a whopping 4 minutes and 19 seconds later? Yep, makes another 5 minute and 16 second video with a different shirt. This time REALLY berating everyone for being stupid and not praising him enough for being the gawd that he is. Something something about homework so how dare they ask questions he already answered in 1969 <scroll down scroll down scroll down>. Did he have the shirt already picked out? Did he even go upstairs? He couldn't have taken a ****, there's no time. Probably didn't pet the dog either. Praise gawd! I've been laughing about this one for probably two weeks. |

30 seconds in: States that he will delete all rude, crude comments.
1:50: Starts a weird anti-millennial tirade about snowflakes who need safe spaces from dissenting opinions. |

I'm sure there's a whole bunch of rude comments regularly too. He's too freaky not to point and giggle at. And that snowflake rant came out of nowhere. Dissenting opinions? As opposed to dissenting evidence? It's like he runs with the idea the genuine existence (or not) of Bigfoot is determined by opinion. Which makes some sense because beyond the anecdote diarrhea that spews out of his mouth every time he realizes he's got a camera on his phone, he's not offered up a single piece of hard, tangible evidence of anything anywhere from anyone. And yet he's already trademarked numerous items in his come-here-and-wet-dream-with-me arsenal: Night Sits™, Gifting Bowls®, Xanue™, Treykon™, Zorth®, The®.
And once again these mofos never dare come here to discuss it further because of our most intimidating factor, being sticklers for the truth. |

Finally clicked on one of the [I]Mountain Beast Mysteries[/i] videos that show up in my YouTube feed.
Hmm. Decent production value. Nice overhead (drone?) shots of boreal forest. Leads off with an evidently very talented taxidermist (Ken Walker?) speaking with authority and clarity on some things that hunters and trappers have shared with him. This is pretty compelling stuff and it would be powerful testimony to the uninitiated. Then there this dude walking around in the forest. He's apparently solo in the woods and he pitches a lean-to, collects some firewood, and prepares to spend the night out there looking for some bigfoots. Okay. That's nice. At least you're outside getting some exercise and enjoying nature. We return to Mr. Rational Bigfoot-Taxidermy-Guy, and he begins to spew a cavalcade of cra-cra that builds to a fever pitch by the end of the production: He saw one once, Meldrum, Patty-breaks, Bindernagel, misunderstood evolutionary biology, Ketchum, Smeja, missing hikers eaten by bigfoots, electromagnetic force fields, etc. Meanwhile, Mr. Solo-hiker is still out there, not finding bigfoot. Alrighty then. |

He was indeed a kind fellow. Our correspondence was brief but insightful. Though we greatly disagreed, remained on civil terms. I can say the same for the other bigfoot endorsees as well. Only a couple of the novice's have been nasty to me over the years. I received an email from John Bindernagel on Jan 7th 2018 regarding his failing health and treatments. Sad to hear of his passing, and hope that he was at peace during those moments.

With many years passing, the PGF believers should revisit this. Also people that say no hard proof is available of the hoax. http://pgfhoax.blogspot.com/

There is a new bigfoot movie coming out soon that is most likely more their speed. It’s called Son of Bigfoot. Rotten Tomatoes gives it a high rating.

Here is actual evidence of Bigfoot raping.

Here's a guy who swears the Bigfoot that raped him was a female because he's not gay. He's not. Please pray.
