I HAVE HAD A REVELATION!

Lemurnade
The Lemurians Hath Spoken To Me!  

Sayeth the Lemurs:  

And the Nephilim descended upon the earth, and it came to pass that they saw that those called the lemurs possesseth really Big Feet, and they were impressed beyond all previously experienced heights of impressedness, as their own feet were diminutive, and they declared that this was good, and vowed that they would obtain these large feet through any means possible...


Ring-Tailed Lemurs

And in their desireth to cover up their covetousness for large appendages, they introdusethed some mtDNA to cover their previously small tracks, and so it came to be 15,000 years later on the earth that is flat, and which is revolvethed by the sun, that a new race of PEOPLE was deemed worthy of their Constitutional Rights. Hallelujah!"

Why Do Lemurs Live In Madagascar?
And then Prophet SasquatchScoop divulged Missing chapter 411 verses 15 through 20:

 "15 And it came to pass, as the Sasquatch were gone away from them into the forest, the Ketchumites said one to another, Let us now go even unto Nacogdoches, and see this thing which is come to pass, which Melba hath made known unto us.

16 And they came with haste, and found Melba, and David, and the DNA Study published in a pseudo journal.

17 And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this study.

18 And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by Melba.

19 But Melba kept all these things, and petitioned the government.

20 And the Ketchumites returned, glorifying and praising Melba for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them."


And thusly The Church Of We Don't Need No Real Science was formed atop the shifting sands traversed by the Ostriches of wishful thinking, the Ketchumites! 


Praise Pseudoscience!

Prophet SasquatchScoop: Praise Melba!!

But in all seriousness folks, the Lemurs are THE most endangered Primate.  If you would like to support a creature truly in need of protection and habitat restoration please go here, learn more, and make a Donation if you are able: Lemurs Are The Most Threatened Mammals In The World: 
Most Threatened Mammals
From Lemurworld.com:

The Lemur is a native of Madagascar. They are also found at Comoro Islands.

The word Lemur is Latin and means spirits of the night. 

There are many legends throughout cultures that talk about the Lemurs being active at night. They are nocturnal.

Lemurs are a type of primate known Prosimians. This means ape! They are considered to be the type of primate at the highest risk of extinction.

There are many different species of Lemurs. They include the Alatron Gentle Lemur, Aye- Aye Lemur, the  Indri Lemur, Black and White Ruffled Lemur, Red Ruffled Lemur, and the Ring Tailed Lemur.

The smallest species of Lemur weights about 10 grams.

The tail is often longer than the body.

They have opposing thumbs. They also have long toes. They use them for climbing and for holding on. They don’t have claws either. Instead they have nails.

They don’t see very well in color but they do have good vision overall.

Most Lemurs live all their life in trees. However, many of the larger species also live on the ground.

It isn’t unreasonable to see some species of Lemurs active during the day.

The Lemurs are very social and the live in family groups.

Females have dominance over the male Lemurs.

The approximate life span of a Lemur in the wild is about 18 years.

Several species of Lemurs are currently at risk of being extinct in the near future. Even with conservation efforts there continues to be serious barriers to protecting them.

My response to a recent accusation that I was "Closed Minded":

Knowledge Tree
I have seen things that many people have not seen and/or don't believe to be true. That does not mean I expect others to believe me 100% without any kind of evidence or scientific proof.  My mind is very open and hopefully one day the further understanding of things involving Quantum Mechanics and other branches of Physics and Science will help us know many more facts about the world around us and what is really possible and based on reality.

I also know that many people experience many things that are purely subjective or spiritual experiences, and no one person's perception of reality is the same as that of anyone else's.  Because of this we need to rely on the Scientific Process to weed out what is based on Universal Scientific Law and is therefore repeatable and shown to be true and fact based, from that which is just an interesting possibility but which can't be repeated so can't be proven in any way. Science leads to new information which can be used to clarify and substantiate many things that in the past were thought to be false or were not known.  It is a continuing process that builds upon itself.


There are many possibilities out there that are interesting to read about or chase after, but I chose to spend my limited time and energy on those that I can actually have some hope of collecting evidence for, and in turn proof that they are real. 

Currently Bigfoot fits that criteria perfectly!

"Bigfoot Blues", Or What I am Reading Right Now!


Well I am finally taking a break from all the painting, tiling and tenant reclamation/rehab work I have been doing on my house that I vacated 7 years ago, and moved back to on the 8th, as the Real Estate market is rapidly rising again in Sacramento so it looks like I am back in the "Flipping" Biz that the bubble burst of 2005 had put on hold!  What am I doing on this "break" you may ask?  Why reading about Bigfoot of course!

Written by Pamela Foster, who was born and raised in Humboldt County and therefore knows about all things Bigfoot and all aspects of the local culture, "Bigfoot Blues" is the story of Samantha, the daughter of a crusty lifelong "Bigfooter", who was raised in the neighborhood Bar chock full of the numerous colorful locals, and who finds herself on the adventure of a lifetime during which she also unearths her authentic self and the key to love and happiness.  I was hooked from chapter one, and kicked myself for starting it right before I had to head out for the evening! But once home I barely put it down until I finished it a day and a half later.  I can also say that it was high-jacked off my nightstand by a non-Bigfooter who read it all in less than a day, and who loved every second of it, so it's allure is definitely not confined to just the Bigfooting crowd.  


Watch the Trailer Here:



Thank you so much for the signed copies of both your Books Pamela!  I have greatly enjoyed conversing with you and hope to meet you in person this May at the Old Town Eureka Arts Alive Event where you will be signing copies at Cafe Nooner!  Click these links to read more about "Bigfoot Blues" and it's wonderful Author Pamela Foster and make sure you check out her other book Redneck Goddess as well!

Bigfoot Or B.S.?

The Scientific Journal Of Failure
Well I don't know about the rest of you out there, but as a result of the Ketchum "Study" delivering the death knell on Bigfoot being taken seriously in the Scientific Community and the non-Bigfoot believing population in general, I feel like I am done even trying.  If Dr. Sykes fails to have success coming up with anything unequivocally verifiable and replicable by other legitimate scientists, because that is how peer review is supposed to work dear people, then I am afraid there never will be the kind of proof we need in order to be taken seriously.  Yes there is always the slight chance that a body might be obtained some day, by accidental means or happenstance hopefully, because I certainly am not a proponent of killing one just so we can study them, but since that has not happened historically I am fairly dubious it is going to happen now.  

Will 2013 be "The Year Of The Bigfoot"?  Probably not, just as 2012, 2011, 2010,..... were not.  But if Sykes does hit a home run and deliver the goods then I guess we are going to be dealing with a whole new ball game.  Until then I have grown weary of the pictures of blobs, the transparent hoaxers and liars, the egos and posturing, and most especially those who want to continue believing in something that has clearly failed, in the face of all the facts that it has clearly failed, and are now ludicrously insisting that those of us who understand that it has clearly failed are the ones who have closed our minds and are not "facing reality".  Good luck with that mentality in the real world. The realilty is that there is no data backing up anything Ketchum is claiming.  All she produced after 5 years of taking other peoples hard earned samples and money were a few small sections of mixed up snippets from known species. The entire genomes of 3 individual members of a novel species?  Where is that Dr. Ketchum?  If it exists please do share........
Or Will It?
So yes some of you may have noticed that I have shut down my Facebook account, I am enjoying the peace and quiet and drama free existence out here in the real world right now.  Well if not drama-free then at least it is real drama and not the never ending round of misunderstood meanings and words and hurt feelings and bruised egos of the cyber world.  I am starting some exciting new projects out here including finishing up the classes I have been taking, a new job and a move back to the Davis/Sacramento area that I consider home. So for right now I have no plans to reactivate my Facebook.  Maybe in a few weeks or months I may, it all depends on how I feel and what I want to do.  So to those of you in the Cyber Bigfoot World who I do consider real and true friends, take care and I will pop in once in awhile to say hi.  Keep on fighting the good fight for truth and reality in Bigfoot research, but only do so if YOU are enjoying yourself and getting something out of it.  Because once you no longer are it is not worth the effort. If you need to contact me you can do so here.

There will always be those who just want to deny or accuse or dismiss the facts in favor of whatever their fantastical belief of the moment is, and for whatever motivation they have for holding onto that belief.  Facts are facts despite someone's belief otherwise.  Beliefs are fine, as long as the person who holds them is not expecting others to accept them as irrefutable reality, with no actual proof or data to back them up.  Once a person starts expecting that, and dictating that anyone who questions those beliefs or asks for proof of them is "being disrespectful and must be shut down", then all you have is a cult.  A cult of belief that will not accept any fact that disputes that belief, and will dismiss any evidence to the contrary as part of the "conspiracy of the closed minded big brother establishment".  That is the argument of people with no data to back up their claims.  That is the argument of those not dealing with reality in the real world.  Belief is fine as long as you acknowledge that it is your own personal paradigm that makes you feel happy, but don't try to force others to go along with it or attack them for having proof that your particular belief is flawed.

I am an open minded person.  In fact I think it is entirely possible that the creatures we call Bigfoot, whatever they are, could have abilities and senses that we currently have no understanding of.  I am most fascinated by this possibility and it is one of the reasons I became interested in this mystery.  I find a lot of the stories from people who have experienced these unexplainable phenomena very believable.  I BELIEVE that they believe what they experienced really happened.  But my belief and their belief can not be considered proof or evidence at this time.  Those experiences and stories should be collected and documented however because at some time in the future we may be able to understand and explain them.  Everything in the Universe has an explanation, even if we do not understand what that is at the moment.  But none of that changes the facts that the Ketchum Study failed, and failed in all the worst ways.  It was never a transparent or above board process, but was mired in misinformation, lies and subterfuge if you honestly look at the history of the last 5 years.  It failed to adhere to the principals of real science and when advised how to do so by those reviewing it, it failed to realign itself within those principles despite have many years to do so.  It was clearly driven by the agenda and egos of two less than qualified or objective members of the community, whose goals as evidenced by the back-story of websites set in place before any scientific findings had even been found, was to propel their personal beliefs and to profit from that belief.


So until something worth discussing manages to surface in the Bigfoot world I will be doing the thing that I actually enjoy about Bigfooting, getting out into the beauty of nature with friends and fellow researchers and trying to figure something out for myself.  If I do figure anything out I will be sure to let you all know, but I guarantee that I will not be making any claims of indisputable fact about it unless I have the data to back it up !Until that time all we can do is to share and document our anecdotal "evidence" in the hopes that it will someday lead to our actual understanding of what this great mystery is all about.  Because in the end it is that mystery that brought us all here in the first place! 

I am not interested in "hits" or "views" or making money from Bigfoot.  I am interested in the truth. The truth is out there, whatever that truth may be....................
