1. The bottom line- that you probably want to know if Bigfoot has been proved yet- will be my immediate concern. The answer is no. To my knowledge there has been only one picture coming to my attention in the last month that will further the acceptance of Bigfoot's existence for most people. It is a photo taken by a woman with hands that were shaking using a sports camera from her tent of a Bigfoot peeping at her only forty feet away.
In June, 2012 this woman and her husband were hiking at Sunrise Lake in the Eagle Nest Wilderness in Colorado. Early in the day, they heard growling on the trail ahead of them so they turned around and went back to Sunrise Lake to set up camp for the night. After setting up, the wife went down to the edge of the lake to sit and observe. She saw a large, brownish-red bipedal across the lake.
Perhaps denial set in because she didn't report it to her husband when she returned to camp. Later, her husband and she were in the tent when they heard twice what sounded to her like a rock being thrown against a tree. In addition, three knocks were made. The wife threw a rock against a tree to demonstrate what they had heard. The Bigfoot did the same. She threw another rock, and so did Bigfoot. Bigfoot males love mimicry and and flirting with human females. At some point, the couple saw the Bigfoot's brownish-red head peeking at them through some brush only forty feet away. Wisely, the couple had several survival tools: a gun, a very large knife, and bear spray. Please be advised that I have read that pepper spray doesn't affect Bigfoot. I don't know why. Plenty of people seem to still depend upon it and it alone. I wouldn't. Apparently, the Bigfoot went away after the peeping.
Directions to photograph: Google: "Some backpackers in Colorado got a rock throwing response." Look for the red head in the left center of the picture above the little snowbank (for you in the tropics, that's the white stuff!)
2. Recognition of Bigfoot got a push this month from a Russian biophysical technologist at Moscow's prestigious Agricultural Academy. An Andrei Stroganov found a piece of bark right outside of Moscow that he says is marked by a large primate. He says the horizontal marks come from a paw nine inches across and are not claw marks. Thus, it's not a bear but a Bigfoot. Bigfoot has fingernails not claws though there is speculation he may sharpen them. A photograph or video of the marks would have been very helpful, but it's Russia.
Those are the direct developments in furthering the establishment that Bigfoot exists. The following are indirect developments.
1. Bigfoot is now protected in two counties in the United States. In 1984 the Board of Commissioners of Skamania County, Washington partially repealed and amended its 1969 Bigfoot ordinance because it "may have exceeded the jurisdictional authority of the Board of Commissioners." The conviction of a wanton killing of a sasquatch with malice will now be a "gross misdemeanor."
Without malice, it will "only" be a misdemeanor. A gross misdemeanor will be punishable by one year in the county jail or a $1,000 fine or both. If the
Sasquatch is determined to be "humanoid" by the coroner, the district attorney must prosecute as if a human had been killed.The Board also recognized Skamania County as a "sasquatch refuge."
The second county, Whatcom County, in Washington passed in 1991 Resolution 92-043 which simply declares the county a sasquatch protection and refuge area. This information was found on pages 30-32 in Christopher Murphy's "Bigfoot Encounters In Ohio."
2. There is an excellent video review of some of the giant skeletons found in America along with very suspicious behavior- lying and denying by government employees. The video is wide-ranging, very well put-together and even shows Patty Bigfoot without her facial hair. She's not very feminine-looking.
Directions: Google "bigfoot bones cover-up - youtube."
3. Until I learn differently, I am going to claim credit for figuring out how Bigfoot walks, why he walks that way, and making it public through this post. Often people report that the Sasquatch walks in a clumsy manner or, on the other side of the coin, that he appears to glide through the woods and fields. I can explain. Since the Hairy Man has such prodigious feet, he first has to raise them to stop them from dragging on the soil or the snow. To do this, he raises his knees much higher than humans do. That cocks the soles of his feet up so high that if you are behind him, you can see his soles. Remember the white on the bottom of Patty's feet as she walked away from Patterson, Gimlin, and their horses at Bluff Creek? But that isn't all. After cocking his foot up, Bigfoot then swings it outward in an arc because his legs and feet are simply too long to be brought directly forward underneath his torso. Bringing his knees up high and looping his legs outward and around gives him the gliding motion similar to a cross-country skier. This arc is so long that he ends up planting each foot directly in front of the other one. This leaves his characteristic single line of footprints.
The clumsy, shuffling movements reported come about when the Bigfoot is moving slowly and not bringing up his knees and arcing his legs. His huge feet are simply getting in his way. Humans commonly see that with their children and puppies.
I found this explanation not by genius but by serendipity. I was reading Douglas Chadwick's book, "The Wolverine Way." Like Sasquatch, the wolverine, an fearless and extremely strong weasel, has enormous feet. From a raised viewing platform, Chadwick was watching thirty to forty captive wolverines owned by a Dale Pedersen, a successful businessman.
Trappers know that Pedersen loves wolverines so they call him and say, " I just caught a wolverine. Come with money or I'm going to kill him." Fortunately, Pedersen has the means to get to the trappers and the wolverines fast wherever they are and pay the ransom. It's a win-win-win situation. His wolverine pens each encompass about an acre and are stocked with trees, rocks, and even swimming pools. From the raised platform, Douglas Chadwick watched the wolverines running and playing and by looking down at them, saw their legs arcing out because their big feet could not go directly forward lest they drag on the ground. Suddenly,
Chadwick got it. He truly saw what was happening and understood the mechanics. I have simply correlated what Pedersen saw with the wolverine to Bigfoot.
I urge you to read "The Wolverine Way." If you love animals, you will love this book which discusses the Glacier (National Park) Wolverine Project.See if you don't come away from this book ranking the wolverine up there with the Navy Seals. They are that good.

4. One of the Tom Slick expeditions into northern California thought it had found a Bigfoot poop. They sent it in to a lab to be analyzed, and the results stated that there were parasites found of unknown origin. This is the problem with laboratories. Under the pressure of big corporations such as the oil, timber, and housing industries on government employees, Bigfooters are finding that most scientists don't dare touch the Bigfoot question. Laboratories refuse to set up a standard for a" possible Bigfoot" and compare what comes in from the field with that standard. All they will do is send lab results back saying the results are "unknown" - and they don't want to know. Knowledge is being blocked by politics. Politicians are elected by big money. Big corporations have the big money. Big corporations want something for their money. Politicians desperately want to get elected and re-elected forever because they love being treated like royalty. It becomes an addiction. But they need big money. They have to go to big corporations. Their opponents certainly will. So to get the big money, they have to do what the corporations want them to do, regardless of what they think of the goodness of the issue. This makes politicians prostitutes. Isn't this what addicts become? The system is corrupt and corrupting. It should not be allowed to continue. To stop it, elections must be financed with public money, not private money. It is as simple as that. Talk it up with your family, friends, and whoever will listen to you. Look for representatives who agree with you, support, and vote for them. You have to support them financially as much as you can for now. You can't take a knife to a gunfight. Then we can sit down with the oil, timber, and housing interests to try to strike a balance with this country remaining prosperous yet protective of animal and plant life as much as possible. At this point, the timber industry kills American nuns in South America who get in the way of their development. This must stop.

What's Better With Guns, Hemp, And Abortions?
Good news all around. A San Francisco appeals court has stated that the Second Amendment gives a person the right to carry a gun for self-defense outside the home. As an aside, the fear of Obama must be lessening or everyone is pretty much armed up. Cabela's is reporting that gun and ammo sales are disappointing. Keep working on your friends to get a gun and become a good, discriminating shooter.
Hemp is working its way to legality through the farm bill. Under the provisions, hemp would be only legal for research and not in the use, say, of manufacturing rugs and cosmetics. Some law enforcement groups are against hemp because it looks like marijuana. You don't hold back our economy because some cops fear they can't identify hemp. Surely, cops are smart enough to be taught how to differentiate hemp from marijuana or some kind of tool can be developed. It's not rocket science but plant identification.
The number of abortions in the U.S. fell in 2011 fell to its lowest point since the 1970s. "Only" 1.06 million abortions were performed in 2011. It would be nice if women supporting abortions on the basis of " It's my body!" would be consistent and support legalization of drugs, suicide, and no seat belts for adults.

What's Better Or Worse With Florida Drugs, Stunt Resumes, Mexico's Oil, And Noisy Planes
Florida, a state rich in corruption due to its Cracker heritage, now has a chemist in the Department Of Law Enforcement suspected of taking drugs seized in arrests of over 2,000 cases. His theft threatens with dismissal all these cases. The state is so corrupt that the gentleman hasn't even been charged.
Resumes with a stunt don't usually work. On the other hand, these Hail Marys sometimes score a job. Companies in America receive an average of 383 applications a day and NSA-like, they are run through computers looking for key words that indicate the applicant has the needed skills- usually education and job experience. For those lacking these skills, drama is often used. One person sent his resume by carrier pigeon. Another linked his resume to his cache of erotica. One person got a face-to-face interview and after it, sent a thank-you note attached to pizza for the entire company. The pizza man was hired but proved to be a dud: He watched "South Park"
at the office and took naps. So long, Pizza Man. Drama is fun, but we vote for the hard work necessary to get education or training and then experience.
Mexico was the first nation in the world to nationalize - steal- its oil, doing so in 1938. For a decade its production of oil has been falling due to lack of cash and the knowledge of how to drill in deep water. Except for the Arctic, Mexico has the largest unknown oil reserves (which seems a strange designation). The problem is that they are in the depths of the Gulf Of Mexico. The Mexican congress has just ended the state control on oil, thus opening its oil and natural gas to foreign corporations. The leftist Party of the Democratic Revolution (PDR), in the true democratic fashion Socialists are well-known for, tried blocking the halls were the voting was taking place. One of the PDR lawmakers stripped to his tightie whities to make a speech. The PDR plans to appeal to the Supreme Court to approve a referendum on the bill to allow foreign investors to develop oil and natural gas. This appeal is projected for 2015. Mexicans are planning to use their cheap natural gas from these wells to build steel, glass, and petrochemical industries. They believe they can compete with the Chinese by paying below-Chinese levels of wages.
It appears that you will not have to endure the din of a hundred one-sided conversations while flying. The Transportation Department is about to ban phone use on planes. However, it seems to be an unnecessary intrusion into the private economy as only JetBlue Airways is even open to considering inflight telephone service.

What's Worse And Better In The News About Kirchner's Drama, Devaluing The Bolivar, Asian Carp, And Fat Elephants
Out Of Fortune Grows Misfortune, And Out Of Misfortune Grows Fortune
- Chinese Saying
Violence and looting in stores have occurred as Argentina's economy worsens due to last year's inflation of 25 to 30 percent due to decades of the government flooding the market with cheap money and also due to the world-wide decline in commodity prices which means that Argentina has less money coming in from her exports. The drama queen president Christina Kirchner had brain surgery recently, but still persists in efforts at income redistribution instead of trying to help grow productivity. We predict that both Venezuela and Argentina will continue to fail economically, though one may learn from the other's mistakes and take a more pro-business approach. Business is the only way to make money. In socialism, the government eventually takes everyone's money and then has none.
Venezuela officially stated that it will take not 6 bolivars but 1l bolivars to buy 1 U.S. dollar. The true value of the bolivar is its worth on the black market- the free market. There it takes 70 bolivars to buy 1 U.S. dollar. In Venezuela, the socialist hatred of business has driven out human and investment capital. This means that very few people are making money. The country is essentially living on its oil revenues which are not enough for the entire population. The noose is tightening, and the order of business for the government will be shriller and more violent demonizations. The people are largely ill-educated and child-like, and the empty emotionalism will probably work.
Asian carp, which can weigh 100 pounds fully grown, were brought into America's South to clean waste water and are now prevalent throughout the South. They are working their way to the Great Lakes and destroy almost completely other species of fish. Very few Americans enjoy eating carp. In fact, there is a recipe that calls for baking a carp on a board, then throwing the carp away and eating the board. But Americans are learning that Asian prize carp and are exporting carp to Asia. The major obstacle is that Asians like fresh not frozen carp primarily because they aren't used to freezers. As an aside, we'd like to see Peta make sure that these fish are being killed before they are gutted and cleaned. They may not be.
Three-fourths of the elephants in American zoos are fat. Zoos are initiating regular weigh-ins for the pachyderms. They are hiding food around the elephants' enclosures in order to make the elephants get some exercise. The article did not say that fat elephants were simply being fed less, but there's every reason to believe that.

What's Better Or Worse In The News With Bikini Baristas, Chinese Military, Putin, And An Honest Museum
Bikini baristas in the Pacific Northwest are sometimes offering customers more than craft coffees. For instance, paying for a single cup of java with a twenty dollar bill might get you a "show" if you let the barista pocket the change. A show is a brief look at the clerk's privates. The problem is that children going by in vehicles are seeing this lewd behavior. In addition, at least one barista has been seen leaving the coffee drive-through to get into a customer's vehicle and then emerging shortly later with what looked like money in her hand.
During the Cold War With Russia - World War lll that is, Russian officers knew that near-fights with Americans and her allies were a good way to end their military careers. However, it is becoming apparent now that Chinese officers are being rewarded for close calls with the forces of the free world. Last month a Chinese naval vessel got within 100 yards of the USS Cowpen, a missile launcher, in a bluff blockade manuever. The Cowpen was watching China's first aircraft carrier, the Liaoning, in international waters at a safe distance. As a result of Chinese aggression, seven Asian countries are unprecendently beginning to pool their military might to protect themselves from the Communist Dragon. China's nationalism and militarism are reminding historians of Pre-World War l Germany.
Putin deceitfully continues to put a good face on Russia by granting clemency to political prisoners. He has just freed Mikhail Khedorvovsky, the oil billionaire who made the mistake of criticizing Putin and remaining in Russia. He is now in Switzerland.
The Salzburg Museum in Austria appears to be behaving morally in returning natural history artifacts to their Jewish owners. The museum was controlled Heinrich Himmler, the head of the SS Police Force. His men stole mammoth bones, mounted birds, antlers, and other hunting trophies in German occupied areas and even farther east.

What's Better And Worse With Ecosytem Management, Banning The Use Of "Allah," The Warthog, And More
The U.S. Forestry Service controls 61,500 square miles of forests. This is an area larger than Connecticut. At the same time, the forestry service has abandoned its philosophy of "multiple use management" to "ecosytem management." Ecosytem management is hostile to human beings,and against logging and roads. As a result dead timber has accumulated to such a depth on the forest floor that fires are so intense they are almost like bombs. They kill trees, burn in their tops, and spread so rapidly that animals have no chance of fleeing. Even the animals fighting the fires - homo sapiens- are sometimes killed. Since the unions and the torpid bureaucracy are so entrenched, the concept of "charter forests" like "charter schools" is being looked at.
It is reported that 60 percent of the almost three million Christians in Malaysia use the word "Allah" to refer to God. As you would expect, the hateful Islamofascists are intolerant to this useage. The Sultan of Selangor has issued an edict prohibiting the Christians from using that word. Father Lawrence Andrew in the Malaysian city of Selangor has replied that the Roman Catholics would continue using the A-word for their God. Now the good Father is being investigated by the police for breaking the Malaysian
Sedition Act. Those cops should be investigated for corruption and harassment, and Islam should be reformed to eliminate the hate and homocide toward the "infidels."
The A-10 Thunderbolt ll better known as the Warthog because it had a short, stubby look to it may be retired due to budget decreases. The Warthog is unquestionably the best defense for protecting advancing troops. The United States must do a better job of protecting her troops both on the battlefield and after. Depriving them of their best defense in battle when they are advancing is intolerable. It's unique forte is the cannon in the stubby nose of the plane. It can fire 4,000 rounds per minute and is highly effective on tanks. It's speed makes it much better than a heliocopter. The Air Force which has no troops on the ground in battle save its special operators want to retire the Warthog and put the money into developing the F-35 which will be the most advanced jet fighter in the world. With Putin and Communist China flexing their muscles, we need to bulk up too. We support you calling your congresspeople and pushing them to save both the Warthog and the development of the F-35.
Senator Ron Johnson (R-Wisconsin) is filing suit to make Congress live by the ObamaCare they poxed upon us. They have weaseled their way out of it to other healthcare. This government hypocrisy has to stop, and we applaud Senator Johnson's efforts to block the rat hole. They voted for it: They have to live with it too.

What's Better Or Worse In The News About Pot's Effects, Too Expensive Dollar Stores, And Changing Iraqi Over-Kill
Much has been in the news about the dangers of marijuana with even our Dear Leader saying pot is less dangerous than alcohol. Dr. Mitchell Rosenthal, the founder of Phoenix House, has just said that the most important fact about marijuana is its destruction of brain structures that deal with memory and reasoning. This is called the "working memory" because it includes remembering phone numbers and solutions to everyday problems. It keeps you from having to constantly reinvent the wheel. This negative marijuana-induced effect was discovered only last month at Northwestern University.
People are not going to Family Dollar as much because they can't afford the bottom-tier department store. The only thing that is lower is run by charities, primarily churches, such as food pantries and free thrift stores. Is this the next step under Obama for the poor?Although there is a rising economic tide, the tide is not lifting lower-income boats. The poor are plainly under stress from poor job growth, wages that are not rising, bigger payroll taxes, and shrinking government programs such as food stamps.
The better news is that the U.S. military is apparently asking itself "What then?" after forces brutually demolish buildings and kill innocents. What happens then is that the killing and destruction only attracts more young men who are eager to fight the crusader-infidels. Realizing that this is no way to win World War IV - the war against the Islamofascists- the U.S. is now asking the Iraqis to give up large military sweeps and the huge use of force that cause indiscriminate killings and tears apart buildings (thus destroying more of the Iraqi economy and standard of living). The U.S. military is slowly giving up the way of the tank and embracing the way of the Seal. It is emphasizing to the Iraqis targeted raids and specific counter-insurgency offenses to keep the killing and structural destruction highly specific.
