A firm avocado will ripen in a paper bag or in a fruit basket at room temperature within a few days. As the fruit ripens, the skin will turn darker. Avocados should not be refrigerated until they are ripe. Once ripe, they can be kept refrigerated for up to a week. If you are refrigerating a whole avocado, it is best to keep it whole and not slice it in order to avoid browning that occurs when the flesh is exposed to air.
If you have used a portion of a ripe avocado, it is best to store the remainder in the refrigerator. Store in a plastic bag, wrap with plastic wrap, or place on a plate and cover with plastic wrap. Sprinkling the exposed surface(s) with lemon juice will help to prevent the browning that can occur when the flesh comes in contact with oxygen in the air.

Tips for preparing Avocados
To contact us Click HERE
Use a stainless steel knife to cut the avocado in half lengthwise. Gently twist the two halves in opposite direction if you find the flesh clinging to the pit. Remove the pit, either with a spoon or by spearing with the tip of a knife. Place the halves face down, then peel and slice. If the flesh is too soft to be sliced, just slide a spoon along the inside of the skin and scoop it out. You can prevent the natural darkening of the avocado flesh that occurs with exposure to air by sprinkling with a little lemon juice or vinegar.

Latex-Fruit Allergy
To contact us Click HERE
Like bananas and chestnuts, avocados contain substances called chitinases that are associated with the latex-fruit allergy syndrome. There is strong evidence of the cross-reaction between latex and these foods. If you have a latex allergy, you may very likely be allergic to these foods as well. Processing the fruit with ethylene gas increases these enzymes; organic produce not treated with gas will have fewer allergy-causing compounds. In addition, cooking the food may deactivate the enzymes.
Phytonutrients prevent chronic diseases

Avocados are a good source of vitamin K, dietary fiber, vitamin B6, vitamin C, folate and copper. Avocados are also a good source of potassium: they are higher in potassium than a medium banana.
Although they are fruits, avocados have a high fat content of between 71 to 88% of their total calories - about 20 times the average for other fruits. A typical avocado contains 30 grams of fat, but 20 of these fat grams are health-promoting monounsaturated fats, especially oleic acid.
Research shows that avocados rank highest in the following phytochemicals and nutrients among the 20 most frequently consumed fruits. Phytonutrients are thought to help prevent many chronic diseases.
* Lutein – protects against prostate cancer and eye disease such as cataracts and macular degeneration.
* Vitamin E -- a powerful antioxidant known to slow the aging process and protect against heart disease and various forms of cancer.
* Glutathione – functions as an antioxidant like vitamin E to neutralize free radicals that can cause cell damage and lead to disease.
* Beta-sitosterol – lowers blood cholesterol levels. Avocados contain four times as much beta-sitosterol as oranges, previously reported as the highest fruit source of this phytochemical.
* Monounsaturated fats – heart-healthy fats proven to help lower LDL (bad) cholesterol and boost HDL (good) cholesterol.
* Folate – promotes healthy cell and tissue development. Folate is especially important for woman of childbearing age as it helps protect against birth defects.
* Potassium – helps balance the body’s electrolytes. Avocados contain 60 percent more potassium than bananas.
* Magnesium – helps produce energy and is important for muscle contraction and relaxation.
* Fiber – lowers cholesterol and reduces risk of heart attack.

Not only are avocados a rich source of monounsaturated fatty acids including oleic acid, which has recently been shown to offer significant protection against breast cancer, but it is also a very concentrated dietary source of the carotenoid lutein; it also contains measurable amounts of related carotenoids (zeaxanthin, alpha-carotene and beta-carotene) plus significant quantities of tocopherols (vitamin E).
In a laboratory study published in the Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry, an extract of avocado containing these carotenoids and tocopherols inhibited the growth of both androgen-dependent and androgen-independent prostate cancer cells.
But when researchers tried exposing the prostate cancer cells to lutein alone, the single carotenoid did not prevent cancer cell growth and replication. Not only was the whole matrix of carotenoids and tocopherols in avocado necessary for its ability to kill prostate cancer cells, but the researchers also noted that the significant amount of monounsaturated fat in avocado plays an important role. Carotenoids are lipid (fat)-soluble, which means fat must be present to ensure that these bioactive carotenoids will be absorbed into the bloodstream. Just as Nature intends, avocado delivers the whole heath-promoting package.

The place, positioned on Kilmore St, is fittingly serene, utilizing hardwood flooring, substantial, uncovered windows which bathe the place in angelic light, along with the relaxing aromas of lavender and patchouli. It is wonderfully one of a kind (look the sweet as pictures of grooving eggs around the chalkboard wall menu!) plus the meals are fresh and great, try the GF, DF Wintertime Root Vegetable Cake, it absolutely was popular within my partly vegetarian family. Come summer season, I reckon the garden shall be packed with revellers trying to find a tranquil place to chill out having a mug and a socially mindful slice.

The space, located on Kilmore St, is fittingly restful, utilizing hardwood floors, large, uncovered windows that shower the spot in heavenly light, as well as the calming perfumes of lavender and patchouli. It really is remarkably exceptional (check out the lovable as pictures of grooving eggs on the chalkboard wall menu!) and the food is fresh and very good, try the GF, DF Wintertime Root Vegetable Cake, it absolutely was a winner in my partly vegetarian home. Come summer season, I reckon the garden is going to be filled with revellers searching for a serene area to unwind with a cup and a socially sensitive slice.
Addington Coffee Co-op; Located on Lincoln Rd, essential to Addington village, Addington Coffee Co-op is a quaintly deluxe, all-natural light filled cafe and roastery that spins Blondie, roasts and peddles their very own brand of Fair Trade (and DELICIOUS) coffee and feels like your living room (if you're the person whose living room includes a pitch-perfect volume of delicate kitsch along with the most influencing ambience on the block).
The company, situated inside of a large ex- mechanics workshop, used 9 months to make their own and earthquake proof (that has been opportune!) which is stuffed to the top during all times of the day having an eclectic mixture of vibrant neo-hipsters, chatty stay-at-home-mums and extravagant looking suits in search of an inviting spot for a lunchtime meeting as well as a high quality, freshly crafted slice, pastry or sandwich. Along with awesome cool and sensitive using of Fair Trade coffee, in addition, they offer "organic threads" created by survivors from the sex-trade in Calcutta
Consequently, to recap: their coffee is fabulous, its furnishings is flawless in addition their business techniques are morally righteous. Need I say more?

A Guide to Nutrition for the Elderly People

Tips on nutrition for the elderly
Nutrition for the elderly and why it is important
The elderly are all around us and the number of elderly is growing with the Baby Boomer generation reaching the golden years. Many of us either have aging parents or grandparents and some of us have elderly parents who need round-the-clock care. Taking care of the elderly is not easy and the elderly have special needs which a normal adult does not.
As the human body ages, it tends to get weaker and is not able to do the things that it may have been able to do when it was in its prime. Many of the health issues that plague the elderly can be prevented if the elderly get the special nutrition they need.
The geriatric diet
The geriatric diet is very important because many of the health problems that the elderly face have to do with the cardiovascular system, the brain and the respiratory system. Many people over 60 have suffered a mild to moderate heart attack or stroke at one time in their lives. Some may have suffered several. This is why diet for the elderly is critical. Some of the things that should be included in a geriatric diet are
1. Roughage is very important for the elderly digestive tract. Roughage is food that allows for bowel movements to move freely through the bowels. The geriatric digestive tract tends to move slower and many older adults can develop polyps in the colon which can eventually develop into colon cancer. Colorful fruits, high fiber grains such as whole wheat, oats, barley, etc. and vegetables and legumes are good roughage.
2. Water is very important. Elderly can dehydrate faster than a young person, especially when it is extremely hot. Furthermore, water cleanses the body from pathogens that could otherwise accumulate in the body.
3. The elderly should cut down on saturated fat because as mentioned above, many people over the age of 60 have survived a mild to moderate heart attack and the main cause of these ailments is cholesterol. Cholesterol is a byproduct of fats. The elderly can still eat meat, but they should cut down on some of the more fatty meats, such as bacon.
4. Avoid seasoning foods with salt because salt can aggravate hypertension, which a majority of elderly persons have. Instead of using salt, season the food for your elderly loved ones with herbs and spices to give them a good taste.
5. Have some Omega 3 fatty acids in your elder loved one's diet. Omega 3 fatty acids include food from such fish as tuna, salmon, sardines and walnuts. The Omega 3 fatty acids help decrease heart disease.
6. Avoid or cut down on alcoholic beverages because the elderly can get addicted to them and become an alcoholic much easier than younger people who might have more tolerance to alcoholic beverages. Furthermore, you might have an elderly relative who has or had an alcohol problem and alcoholic beverages can aggravate this problem.
Your elderly parents, relatives, neighbors are precious. There are many reasons why you should care about the elderly. The elderly are not just -those old people,- but people who have lived longer than we have and know much more than we do. The elderly have so much experience to share with us and though they will have to leave this world sometime or another, while they are with us, they can give us great enjoyment, be educational for our children, and be all around fun.

There tips from directly from an interesting new article on hand washing by Josh Day.
- Wash your hands quick but thoroughly. Forget the antibacterial soap that makes crazy claims -- simple bar soap and hot water will do just fine.
- Wash frequently, but don't get obsessive about it or you might end up like poor old crazy Howard Hughes!
- When you're out in public, never touch your face. Your hands are constantly in contact with surfaces that are covered with dirt, grime, sweat, and... ugh, germs!
- When you get home, first thing, wash those hands!

I first published this fantastic recipe for healthy breakfast cookies from Vicki F. many years ago in my free Amazing Cookies newsletter.
I made a slight modification and replaced the 1/3 cup olive oil she uses with 1/3 cup coconut oil since my taste buds prefer coconut to olive.
If everyone in your family is in such a hurry most morning that breakfast is getting skipped, try these cookies!
Healthy Breakfast Cookies
3 cups oats
2 medium bananas
Just under 1/3 cup coconut oil
1/3 tsp salt or to taste
1/3 to 1/2 cup dates (pitted)
2/3 cup toasted almonds or any nut you like (optional)
2/3 cup carob chips (optional)
Mix oats and salt. Add coconut oil and mix well.
In a blender, mix bananas and dates until well blended and smooth. You can add a little brown rice syrup or maple syrup if you want them sweet.
Add banana mixture to the oats and blend well. Add nuts and carob if you like. Let stand for half an hour.
On an ungreased cookie sheet, form cookies (they will not spread or change at all with baking, so make them nice!)
Bake in a preheated 350F degree oven for 12-15 minutes

I first published this fantastic recipe for healthy breakfast cookies from Vicki F. many years ago in my free Amazing Cookies newsletter.
I made a slight modification and replaced the 1/3 cup olive oil she uses with 1/3 cup coconut oil since my taste buds prefer coconut to olive.
If everyone in your family is in such a hurry most morning that breakfast is getting skipped, try these cookies!
Healthy Breakfast Cookies
3 cups oats
2 medium bananas
Just under 1/3 cup coconut oil
1/3 tsp salt or to taste
1/3 to 1/2 cup dates (pitted)
2/3 cup toasted almonds or any nut you like (optional)
2/3 cup carob chips (optional)
Mix oats and salt. Add coconut oil and mix well.
In a blender, mix bananas and dates until well blended and smooth. You can add a little brown rice syrup or maple syrup if you want them sweet.
Add banana mixture to the oats and blend well. Add nuts and carob if you like. Let stand for half an hour.
On an ungreased cookie sheet, form cookies (they will not spread or change at all with baking, so make them nice!)
Bake in a preheated 350F degree oven for 12-15 minutes
Makes about 24 cookies, unless a bigger cookie is desired.

My spouse used to get ingrown toenails. We avoided a doctor visit on the most recent one by having him soak his foot in hot water, then put a lot of tea tree oil on it and bandaged it. Within 3 days the skin and nail had softened enough to allow the nail to come out, and the tea tree prevented infection. -MKJWe have something else you'll enjoy reading... an article by Chet where he shares the fascinating story of how he used a natural technique several years ago to totally relieve my brother's post-operative pain from ingrown toenail surgery.

Increase Your Absorption of Carotenoids from Vegetables
To contact us Click HERE
Enjoying a few slices of avocado in your tossed salad, or mixing some chopped avocado into your favorite salsa will not only add a rich, creamy flavor, but will greatly increase your body's ability to absorb the health-promoting carotenoids that vegetables provide.
A study published in the March 2005 issue of the Journal of Nutrition tested the hypothesis that since carotenoids are lipophilic (literally, fat-loving, which means they are soluble in fat, not water), consuming carotenoid-rich foods along with monounsaturated-fat-rich avocado might enhance their bioavailability.
Not only did adding avocado to a salad of carrot, lettuce and baby spinach or to salsa greatly increase study participants' absorption of carotenoids from these foods, but the improvement in carotenoid availability occurred even when a very small amount-as little as 2 ounces-of avocado was added.
Adding avocado to salad increased absorption of alpha-carotene, beta-carotene and lutein 7.2, 15.3, and 5.1 times higher, respectively, than the average amount of these carotenoids absorbed when avocado-free salad was eaten.
Adding avocado to salsa increased lycopene and beta-carotene absorption 4.4 and 2.6 times higher, respectively, than the average amount of these nutrients absorbed from avocado-free salsa. Since avocados contain a large variety of nutrients including vitamins, minerals, as well as heart-healthy monounsaturated fat, eating a little avocado along with carotenoid-rich vegetables and fruits is an excellent way to improve your body's ability to absorb carotenoids while also receiving other nutritional-and taste-benefits.

Oral cancer is even more likely to result in death than breast, skin, or cervical cancer, with a mortality rate of about 50% due to late detection, according to Great Britain's Mouth Cancer Foundation. Avocados may offer a delicious dietary strategy for the prevention of oral cancer. Phytonutrients in Hass avocados, the most readily available of the more than 500 varieties of avocados grown worldwide, target multiple signaling pathways, increasing the amount of free radicals (reactive oxygen species) within pre-cancerous and cancerous human oral cell lines, that leads to their death, but cause no harm to normal cells. ? Semin Cancer Biol. 2007 May 17. Earlier research by UCLA scientists also indicates that Hass avocados may inhibit the growth of prostate cancer as well. When analyzed, Hass avocados were found to contain the highest content of lutein among commonly eaten fruits as well as measurable amounts of related carotenoids (zeaxanthin, alpha-carotene, and beta-carotene). Lutein accounted for 70% of the measured carotenoids, and the avocado also contained significant quantities of vitamin E. J Nutr Biochem. 2005 Jan;16(1):23-30.

The avocado's smooth, creamy consistency makes it one of the first fresh fruits a baby can enjoy. Sodium– and cholesterol– free, avocados contain valuable nutrients including 8% of the recommended Daily Value (DV) for folate; 4% DV for fiber and potassium, 4% DV for vitamin E; and 2% DV for iron. A serving of avocado also contains 81 micrograms of the carotenoid lutein and 19 micrograms of beta-carotene. Per serving, avocados have 3.5 grams of unsaturated fats, which are known to be important for normal growth and development of the central nervous system and brain.

Sea Ice Smashes Record By 500,000 Sq Kms.
To contact us Click HERE
The media is getting excited again over our rapidly disappearing seaice which blew past the 2007 record and bettered it by 500,000 squarekilometes to hit a total of 3,400,000 sq kilometers.
In fact my prediction of 2007, before the record was particularlyapparent then has been powerfully confirmed as the Arctic sea ice hasnow clearly entered its terminal stage of breakup and collapse. Itis quite reasonable to expect almost all winter ice to melt out eachsummer well before the end of the decade.
We also have hard confirmation that this has been brought about by awarm water distribution shift into the North Atlantic from theSouthern Hemisphere. Understand that this has nothing to do fromimagined global warming or CO2 production.
The media of course will continue to babble about the end of theworld as we know it.
It is quite plausible though that we may return to Bronze Ageconditions. We have certainly seen a recovery of Medieval Warm Spellconditions. This all fits well with a thousand year cycle broughtabout possibly by a strong variation in the flux of cold waters intothe Deep in the Antarctic. That is the one thing that I can identifyas having the real power to do all this. Major aspects of thesewaters are in fact changing. Whatever is happening, the circumpolarcurrent is drawing a lot less heat and the ice is expanding there.
The result has been to dump surplus heat into the north Atlantic forthe past forty years or so. This has now destroyed or weakened allthe multiyear ice in the Arctic setting up the present collapse.
Arctic Ice “Rotten”to the North Pole, scientist says

When David Barberfirst headed to the Arctic in the 1980s, the ice would typicallyretreat just a few a kilometres offshore by summer’s end.
Now he and hiscolleagues have to travel more than 1,000 kilometres north into theBeaufort Sea to even find the ice.
And it’s nothinglike the thick, impenetrable ice of Arctic lore.
This year the ice is“rotten” practically all the way to the North Pole, says Barber,a veteran Arctic researcher and director of the Centre for EarthObservation Science at the University of Manitoba.
“The multi-year ice,what’s left of it, is so heavily decayed that it’s really nolonger a barrier to transportation,” he says, explaining how meltponds have left much of the ice looking like Swiss cheese.
“You could havetaken a ship right across the North Pole this year,” says Barber,whose research team was involved in a 36-day research cruise in theBeaufort on a Canadian Coast Guard ship.
The Arctic ice lossthis summer shattered the record set in 2007. It hit the low pointlast weekend, covering 3.41 million square kilometers, or 24 percent, of the Arctic Ocean, according to the U.S. National Snowand Ice Data Center, which has been tracking the ice with satellitessince the late 1970s.
This year’s minimumis nearly 50-per -cent lower than the 1979 to 2000 average.
While the ice lossdocumented by the NSIDC is record-setting, Barber says the reality inthe Arctic is ever worse.
The U.S. numbers areabout “a 15-per-cent over-estimation of how much ice is actuallythere,” says Barber. That’s because satellites have troublediscerning ice conditions, he says, and will count heavily decayedice as solid.
Regardless of who isdoing the counting, he and other scientists consider the ice lossremarkable. And they say the impact will be felt far beyond theArctic.
“It’s a globallysignificant change on our planet,” Barber said in an interview.
Many expect the Arcticcould be “seasonally ice free” in the summer within a decade.
“I’d say 2020,plus or minus five years,” says Barber.
At that point theplanet will be without its icy dome for the first time in eons.
A recent study thatlooked back 1,450 years indicates the current Arctic ice melt hasalready eclipsed the medieval warm period of about 1,000 years ago.
“The level that weare at now is unprecedented over the last 1,450 years,” saysBarber. “And as far as we know we have to go back over a millionyears to find a period when the Arctic was seasonally ice-free in thesummer.”
The Arctic melt isalso happening faster than at any time in the planet’s past, saysBarber, noting that the geological and historical records indicate ittook tens of thousands of years to move to a seasonally-ice-freeArctic in the past.
“Now we are gettingthere in tens of years, not tens of thousands of years,” he says.“And we don’t know how the Earth is going to respond because wehave never seen such a rapid change before.”
Environmentalists andscientists were quick this week to call for cuts in greenhouse gasemissions to slow the global warming that is melting the ice.
James Hansen, aprominent and outspoken NASA climate scientist, said the Arcticmelting shows the risks society is running by failing to limitemissions produced by burning oil, coal and gas.
“The scientificcommunity realizes that we have a planetary emergency,” saidHansen. “It’s hard for the public to recognize this because theystick their head out the window and don’t see that much going on.”
“We can see veryviscerally in the ice how warming temperatures are changing theEarth’s environment,” Walt Meier, of U.S. NSIDC told a mediabriefing this week.
He and otherresearchers say the Arctic melt is just the tip of the iceberg.
Rising globaltemperaturess are also transforming northern ecosystems,melting permafrost and shattering ancient ice shelves. Giant icebergsfrom the disintegrating shelves are now sailing through Canada’sBeaufort Sea, creating a new hazard for oil rigs, says Barber, whoseteam is involved in national and international efforts to get a readon the new Arctic reality and it implications.
Global warming is alsoaltering the oceans. More warm, salty water from the North Atlanticis flowing in the Arctic, and may be helping speed up ice melt.
Another concern isrising sea level. Arctic ice is already in the ocean so does notraise sea level when it melts. But the extra heat being absorbed bythe Arctic Ocean due to the ice loss appears to be acceleratingmelting of the Greenland ice sheet, which does raise sea levels.
The growing expanse ofopen Arctic water, which traps a lot more of the sun’s heatthan reflective ice, is also altering polar storms and winds,says Barber. And this in turn may be linked to the increasinglystrange and extreme weather seen from New Orleans to Newfoundland.
Statistical evidencesuggests the changes in the Arctic are slowing the jet stream andpushing it further south, leading to more “persistent” climatepatterns – be it rain, drought or sunshine, he says. Thechallenge now is to understand the physical mechanism.
”Our society, ourcivilization and how we live our lives – it’s all predicated on astable climate system,” says Barber, who notes that the planet hasundergone abrupt climate change in the past and could do so again.
“The take-homemessage for people is we are running an experiment with Earth’sclimate system,” says Barber, and greenhouse gases are contributingto enormous change – like melting Arctic ice – thatis happening much faster than anticipated.
Arctic expertpredicts final collapse of sea ice within four years
As sea ice shrinks to record lows, Prof Peter Wadhams warns a'global disaster' is now unfolding in northern latitudes
http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2012/sep/17/arctic-collapse-sea-ice?newsfeed=true
one of the world'sleading ice experts has predicted the final collapse ofArctic seaice in summer months within four years.
In what he calls a"global disaster" now unfolding in northern latitudes asthe sea area that freezes and melts each year shrinks to itslowest extentever recorded, Prof Peter Wadhams of CambridgeUniversity calls for "urgent" consideration of newideas to reduce global temperatures.
In an email to theGuardian he says: "Climate change is no longer something wecan aim to do something about in a few decades' time, and that wemust not only urgently reduce CO2 emissions but must urgentlyexamine other ways of slowing global warming, such as thevariousgeoengineering ideas that have been put forward."
These includereflecting the sun's rays back into space, making clouds whiter andseeding the ocean with minerals to absorb more CO2.
Wadhams has spent manyyears collecting ice thickness data from submarines passing below thearctic ocean. He predicted the imminent break-up of sea ice in summermonths in 2007, when the previous lowest extent of 4.17 millionsquare kilometres was set. This year, it has unexpectedly plunged afurther 500,000 sq km to less than 3.5m sq km. "I have beenpredicting [the collapse of sea ice in summer months] for many years.The main cause is simply global warming: as the climate has warmedthere has been less ice growth during the winter and more ice meltduring the summer.
"At first thisdidn't [get] noticed; the summer ice limits slowly shrank back, at arate which suggested that the ice would last another 50 years or so.But in the end the summer melt overtook the winter growth such thatthe entire ice sheet melts or breaks up during the summer months.
"This collapse, Ipredicted would occur in 2015-16 at which time the summer Arctic(August to September) would become ice-free. The final collapsetowards that state is now happening and will probably be complete bythose dates".
Wadhams says theimplications are "terrible". "The positives areincreased possibility of Arctic transport, increased access to Arcticoffshore oil and gas resources. The main negative is an accelerationof global warming."
"As the sea iceretreats in summer the ocean warms up (to 7C in 2011) and this warmsthe seabed too. The continental shelves of the Arctic are composed ofoffshore permafrost, frozen sediment left over from the last ice age.As the water warms the permafrost melts and releases huge quantitiesof trapped methane, a very powerful greenhouse gas so this will givea big boost to global warming."

Erickson Project Collecting Bigfoot DNA
To contact us Click HERE
This is actually thefirst time that I have come across the Erickson Project and I ampleased because it means that serious money is now been spent tocollect DNA reports and samples. The level of infighting andskullduggery is no surprise and I simply wish that folks would keepquiet about it all. Once the glare of publicity is turned up, the BSwill crawl back into the ditch.
The point here is thatactive collection of hair samples is taking place and it is gettingassayed. We are getting feedback.
Unfortunately, I thinkthat the meat sample will turn out to be a giant sloth and must betreated differently. Sasquatches do not drop to all fours but giantsloths do. Bears on the other hand only go erect when in fullconfrontation and certainly do not attempt to travel that way.
So it appears that at thesame time we are collecting a slew of Bigfoot DNA we are also pickingup one excellent sample of plausibly Giant sloth DNA, all of which isgood.

Whobailed out Adrian Erickson? Lastfall, Erickson was in deep doodoo financially. He was working 6 daysa week, 12 hours a day trying to keep his real estate business abovewater. He was being sued by several parties, including the buyers ofhis homes. He was under a lot of physical and psychological toll –basically a stress case. His numerous investors were getting upset.
Ericksonbuilt a large real estate development in British Columbia called RubyRidge. He sold a number of lots but then became underwater with theUS recession caused by radical neoliberal capitalism’s unregulatedbanking sector and massive bankster fraud. Thisneoliberalism-generated recession affected the whole world, includingCanada. Erickson was having a hard time selling homes due to thedownturn in the housing market.
Hehad promised buyers are variety of amenities for their lots includingphone and cell coverage, water, sewage lines and roads. With no moremoney coming in, he was unable to provide these amenities. Through nofault of Erickson’s, his lot buyers were left holding the bag.
Healso spent $3 million on his Bigfoot project, the Erickson Project,with no results to show for it yet.
Thingslooked grim. The prospect of bankruptcy for the business andforeclosure on Erickson’s very nice home loomed.
I’mnot divulging too much personal information here as most of this hasalready been reported in the British Columbia press.
Hereit is, 9 months later, and everything has changed. Early in the year,Erickson apparently took his Bigfoot documentary to Hollywood whereit was worked on with post-production editing. In the interim,Erickson’s financial problems seem to have evaporated or at leastgotten much better. The word we have is that financially, things aregoing quite well.
Thisdoes not make sense. The housing market in BC has not returned sincelast fall, so he’s not selling anymore homes than he was then. Howdid he get the money to send the doc to Hollywood to have it workedon? It makes no sense, because at the time it was down there,Erickson was flat broke. How did he get the huge amount of moneyneeded to bail him out of the financial hole? He could not have madeit selling lots. Someone must have bailed him out in some way.
Ericksonis now happy and calm and is no longer working all the time. He isback guiding hunts and again, and he’s going to Africa soon tohunt. He seems relaxed about the subject of Bigfoot and acts like itis out of his hands and his life.
Whereaspreviously for a long time, he got angry anytime anyone brought upthe subject. On numerous occasions, Erickson said he didn’t want tohear the word Bigfoot ever again. Furthermore, Erickson and Ketchum,who never got along, have now mysteriously become BFF’s.
Logically,none of this makes any sense. The only way this could have happenedis that an unknown person or persons with a lot of money stepped inand got Erickson out of his hole by sending a lot of money his way,either via gift or investment.
Isuspected that Wally Hersom gave Erickson the cash to get him out ofthe hole he was in and to send the documentary down to Hollywood.
However,when I asked around, a source close to Hersom emphatically told methat he strongly doubted that Hersom had either bailed Erickson outor even given him the money to take his doc to Hollywood to have itworked on.
Thereis suspicion that Ketchum is now the owner of Erickson’s footage,but it has been impossible to confirm. However, it does remain ahunch of mine for reasons I cannot divulge.

[I also include a report made a year ago on the Erickson Project bythis same writer ]BreathtakingNews from the Erickson ProjectBY ROBERTLINDSAY | JULY 4, 2011 · 2:17 AM
http://robertlindsay.wordpress.com/2011/07/04/breathtaking-news-from-the-erickson-project/
Theleaks from people close to the EricksonProject continueto come in fast and furious.Surelythe most breathtaking news so far involves the sequencing of BigfootDNA. We alreadyreported previously onthe sequencing Bigfootmitochondrial DNA, which is coming out 100% human. Thatmeans that the Bigfoot female line goes back to human females.
However, wecan now report on the sequencing of the nuclear DNAfrom the male side. The report is that it is absolutelynon-human!It is very far away from humans. In the chart below, various homininsare measured according to their distance away from humans in terms ofpolymorphisms (P* distance).
Homininspp. P* Distance Date of splitNeandertal 9,200 508,000?Denisova 18,400? 840,000Bigfoot 68,300? 2.25 M?Chimpanzee 182,000 6 MAsyou can see, Bigfoots are approximately 1/2 way between humansand chimps. More precisely, they are 37.5% of the way from humans tochimps. Also, Bigfoots are 7.4X further away from us than Neandertalsare, and they are 3.7X further away from us than Denisova was.Neandertal split from us 508,000 YBP, and Denisova split 840,000 YBP.I estimate that Bigfoot split from humans 2.25 million YBP, orslightly before Homo Erectus.
Weonly have DNA from three hominids: Homo sapiens, Neandertal andDenisova. We have no DNA from Flores Man, Erectus or any of the rest.One reason for this is that DNA degrades, and it is impossible to getDNA from samples more than 50,000 years old. Flores Man samples weretoo degraded to get any DNA yet.Therefore,evidence indicates that Bigfoots are a hybrid species. Some “thing,”some “monster,” some “subhuman,” mated with human femalessomewhere in Europe possibly ~20-50,000 YBP. Shades of KingKong!
[I find this rather difficult to accept except there has been a coupleof reports in the more distant past suggesting that women have beentaken captive in much the way of hunter gatherers generally bySasquatch males. So it is not something that has never beencontemplated or even observed. In fact it is a strong hint that aBigfoot, human coupling will be fertile, also suggested by thecultural record. What this does mean however, is that a successfulcoupling between an unknown primate and a human progenitor producedthe Bigfoot lineage around two and one half million years ago.]
Whatthis “thing” was is completely unknown. It must be a hominid. Itquite possibly was Homo erectus. Therefore, Bigfoots may beErectus-sapiens hybrids.Theclosest thing to an Erectus-sapiens hybrid is Heidelberg Man, or Homoheidelbergensis. This was late Homo erectus trending into archaicHomo sapiens. There is suggestive evidence that a heidelbergensisskull was found in China dated 13,000 YBP.IfBigfoot is part-Erectus, this explains certain things. Erectusstill had a midtarsal break in Europe 300,000 YBP. Erectus had asaggital crest.Itis clear by now that the “Bigfoot is an ape” theory lies in thedust. Bigfoot is a man, an ancient man, a blast from our ancientpast, a subhuman, a human ancestor. He’s one of us, but he’s not.Inaddition, we can report that the Erickson Project Bigfoot DNA studyhas isolated DNA from 20 separate Bigfoot individuals fromaround North America. They received hundreds of samples, but manywere not useful. Of the 20 separate individuals, Adrian Erickson’ssamples represented six individuals.
Oneof the samples was called “unknown hand.” This was hand of a“something,” but no one knows what. Inside the Project, peoplewere taking bets on what the hand was from. Dr. Melba Ketchum betthat it was a bear. Others bet that it was not a bear.
Ketchumnever got any money from the bet. Whatever this strange object was,it was not a bear paw. No one knows what it was. Maybe it was aBigfoot hand.DonMonroe found the hand in a dump somewhere in Montana or Idaho. Askinned bear paw that has the claws removed and resembles a humanhand to a great deal. The hand was a bone with some relict skinremaining on it. All of the hair was gone. It’s not known ifKetchum’s lab even tested the hand for DNA.Oneof the samples was a bone from a stream in Oregon. It may have been afemur. The bone looks like a human bone, but it is much too large. Itwas submitted by David Paulides’ North American Bigfoot Search(NABS).Wealso have some updates in thestory about the killing of the two Bigfoots near the Dixie MountainGame Refuge in California’s Sierra Nevada in November 2010.There were two other men in the truck with the shooter at the time.At least one of the men was absolutely hysterical that the shootershot the two Bigfoots. The other man was also not happy about thesituation.
Wecan also report that the section of Bigfoot thigh sent tothe Erickson Project DNA test from the shooting was auburnhaired, and it also had a lot of grey in it. This slab was from themother Bigfoot that was shot dead. She was probably a middle agedBigfoot, ~45 years old in human terms or ~25 years old in Bigfootterms. Her two offspring, one of which was also shot dead, were ~10years old in human terms or ~5 years old in Bigfoot terms.
Tothis date, we do not know what the shooter did after he killed thetwo Bigfoots.Iknow the name of the shooter, but for some reason, I am not releasingit, though I probably should. It will come out later anyway. His namecan be found by industrious web sleuths who are intelligent aboutInternet sleuthing. The shooter has changed his story many times, andis very afraid of going to jail over killing of these two Bigfoots.Heis wise to be afraid of this, because I know some wealthy andconnected people who told me that they are dedicated to seeingthat the shooter goes to prison over killing the Bigfoots. Thesepeople think Bigfoots are humans, so killing one is homicide. So if Iwere the shooter, I would not be straight up about this mattereither. Further, I would retain a good attorney. If the OlympicProject has any sense, they will have also spoken to attorneys too,because their mitts are all over these two killed Bigfoots.
Theshooter is a narcissist and a redneck, and I don’t like him. Youcan tell he’s a narcissist. Look at his photos. Just look at thatsmug, smarmy look in eyes. I don’t think he’s a good person.Thereare different kinds of hunters. Most hunters are good people, but aminority are not. The bad guys havethe same mindset about hunting. They basically just like to killthings because they like to kill.You can tell who the bad ones are. You can see it in their eyes. Theywill shoot just about anything as long as it is not illegal. This guyhas that look about him.
Thisis what kind of a person and hunter the shooter is. He is well knownin the hunting and taxidermy community and is not well liked atall. In that community, he is thought of as a “maniac hunter” andan “unethical hunter.”
Hecould change any time he wants, quit being bad and start being good.His choice. I don’t think he will ever change though, because he isvery happy being the smug ex-Texan prick that he is. Most of hisfriends are the same as he is, and so is the California woman whobecame his wife two years ago, who is now expecting.Mostnarcissists never feel guilt about anything that they do. There aresome reports that the shooter feels bad about killing the twoBigfoots. Perhaps he does. He may have some sort of a conscience. Ibet he’s more afraid of getting caught though.TheOlympic Project has changed their story about this shooting severaltimes now. I actually do not blame them. If I were in as deep as theyare, I would get myself a nice, fancy story too.Forseveral months after November, their line was that the OP neverwent out to the shooting site.
Thenthey said that the OP did go to the shooting site 2 weeks later,and they found a chunk of Bigfoot flesh in the snow.
Nowthe OP says that only the shooter went back 2 weeks laterand found the piece of flesh.
Thestory about going back later and finding a hunk of flesh strikes meas dubious, but maybe it happened. Who knows, right?Inaddition, the OP said for a long time after the shooting, “Let’smake one thing clear! There were no two Bigfoots shot and killed!”Butafter I broke the story, they changed their line to saying that a manthat the OP knows well did shoot and kill the two Bigfoots.Theysay he shot the first one because he thought she was a bear and shotthe second one because it was threatening him.Neitherreport is true.Theshooter knew she was not a bear. His line is he thought she wasthreatening him. And the second one wasn’t threatening him either.Theshooter was a passenger in the truck with three bear hunters nearthe Dixie Mountain Game Refuge on the California/Nevada borderin November 2010. They came around a bend, and there was a grayishwhite female Bigfoot in the road on all fours. The shooter grabbedhis gun and jumped out of his vehicle. As he jumped out, he saw theBigfoot get up on two legs and start running towards him waving herarms. When the Bigfoot saw the gun, she turned and started to runaway. The shooter shot her in the side of the chest, and the bulletpenetrated her lungs.
Shecrashed off into the brush and died. The three men went down into thebrush and saw her there. It was then that they realized that she wasnot a bear at all. They walked back up onto the road.Whenthey got to the road, they saw two small, strange creatures runningtowards them, sometimes on two legs, sometimes on four legs. Theshooter raised his gun, fired and shot one of the creatures dead. Theother small creature apparently escaped. As the shooter cradled thedying creature in his arms, they all three realized that it was ayoung creature of the same type that had just gotten shot. Thejuvenile Bigfoot had a huge head, and the shooter said it lookedexactly like the Jacobs creaturephoto.
Theshooter did not shoot the young Bigfoot because it was threateninghim, which is his story. He just shot it for some unknown reason.[This creature sounds like a giant sloth and not a Sasquatch at all. The Jacob creature is almost like a bear but has a large musselunlike a bear which is why up close witnesses know it is not a bear -arclein]Atthis point they figured out that they had killed two Bigfoots. Thetwo men with the shooter were so hysterical and upset about theshootings that they took the shooter’s gun away from him andpointed it at him, threatening him. They told him that if he tried toshoot another one of those animals, they would shoot himinstead. The story is that everyone was so upset by that point thatthey left the area. The shooter said that they left the animals inthe road, and he was not going back to the area until next fall.
Thereis a lot of fighting inside the Erickson Project. AdrianErickson and Melba Ketchum are not getting along well. At least onereason is that Erickson paid Ketchum $70,000 for the sequencing ofsix Bigfoot samples. To this date, he has not received results fromthese samples, even though those samples do represent sixseparate confirmed Bigfoot individuals. He did receive results fromone DNA test, the test he had done on himself. Most of the principalshad their own DNA tested to avoid contamination.
Ericksonhad an agreement with Ketchum that if his Bigfoot samples tested outas coming from real Bigfoots, they would then be used in the finalwriteup. One or more of his samples were from real Bigfoots, butKetchum is apparently threatening to not include them in her paperdue to their falling out. So Erickson is threatening to sue her forviolating their agreement.Ericksonhas also threatened to sue a couple of other folks, including DennisPfohl and Mike Rugg, but I am not sure of the reason. Erickson iswell liked, and he is also deeply respected. At the same time, therespect seems tinged with fear. He has sunk $3 million into thisproject, and he is not going to get it back.Onegreat thing to come out of the release of the Erickson Projectresults is that maybe Bigfoot witnesses will not be sopersecuted. Roger Patterson was not an honorable man, but he didshoot a real video of a Bigfoot in California in 1967. He was sohounded by skeptics that they may have driven him to an early grave.
BobGimlin was so upset at the hounding that he more or less retreatedfrom the public eye for over 20 years after the shooting of thevideo. He only came out in 1989. Gimlin is a tough man, but all ofthe attacks have still hurt him. Entire books and countless articlesand Internet pieces have been written about how he hoaxed the famousvideo.
FromCanada, word comes that Bigfoots are much more common aroundIndian communities than around non-Indians. It seems that Bigfootsare more comfortable around Indians than around non-Indians. One mayspeculate about reasons.
Updating aprevious story,a trapper in McBride, British Colombia has told people thathe was recently kidnapped by Bigfoots, who took him back to acave and tried to make him have sex with a female Bigfoot. It’san updated Albert Ostman story.
Anothertrapper somewhere in British Colombia is living by himself way out inthe woods far away from anyone else. He is reportedly nearlyliving with a group of Bigfoots. He sees them every single day. Thismay possibly be the same man who says he was kidnapped by Bigfoots.The stories should be followed up.
Aprevious post reportedon some Canadians who dug up a muskeg and found a Bigfoot handskeleton in it. It was a Bigfoot burial ground. In northernCanada, Bigfoots use muskegs as burial grounds. This particularmuskeg was in northern Saskatchewan.
TheBigfoot shooting and DNA stories are powerful news, maybe the storiesof the year. Bigfoot is on the verge of being formally discovered byscience.*******In1958, the Russian scientist Dr.Boris Porchnev concludedthat relict hominids, cavemen from the Stone Age, continue to liveamong us to this very day. His prophetic views have been vindicated.The implications are nothing less than breathtaking. It’s nearlythe story of the century already, and we’ve only just come roundthe bend. Hold onto your seats.
Checkout BigfootForums forthe best Bigfoot discussion on the web.
This is actually thefirst time that I have come across the Erickson Project and I ampleased because it means that serious money is now been spent tocollect DNA reports and samples. The level of infighting andskullduggery is no surprise and I simply wish that folks would keepquiet about it all. Once the glare of publicity is turned up, the BSwill crawl back into the ditch.
The point here is thatactive collection of hair samples is taking place and it is gettingassayed. We are getting feedback.
Unfortunately, I thinkthat the meat sample will turn out to be a giant sloth and must betreated differently. Sasquatches do not drop to all fours but giantsloths do. Bears on the other hand only go erect when in fullconfrontation and certainly do not attempt to travel that way.
So it appears that at thesame time we are collecting a slew of Bigfoot DNA we are also pickingup one excellent sample of plausibly Giant sloth DNA, all of which isgood.

We have no DNA from Flores Man, Erectus or any of the rest.One reason for this is that DNA degrades, and it is impossible to getDNA from samples more than 50,000 years old. Flores Man samples weretoo degraded to get any DNA yet.Therefore,evidence indicates that Bigfoots are a hybrid species. Some “thing,”some “monster,” some “subhuman,” mated with human femalessomewhere in Europe possibly ~20-50,000 YBP. Shades of KingKong!
[I find this rather difficult to accept except there has been a coupleof reports in the more distant past suggesting that women have beentaken captive in much the way of hunter gatherers generally bySasquatch males. So it is not something that has never beencontemplated or even observed. In fact it is a strong hint that aBigfoot, human coupling will be fertile, also suggested by thecultural record. What this does mean however, is that a successfulcoupling between an unknown primate and a human progenitor producedthe Bigfoot lineage around two and one half million years ago.]
Whatthis “thing” was is completely unknown. It must be a hominid. Itquite possibly was Homo erectus. Therefore, Bigfoots may beErectus-sapiens hybrids.Theclosest thing to an Erectus-sapiens hybrid is Heidelberg Man, or Homoheidelbergensis. This was late Homo erectus trending into archaicHomo sapiens. There is suggestive evidence that a heidelbergensisskull was found in China dated 13,000 YBP.IfBigfoot is part-Erectus, this explains certain things. Erectusstill had a midtarsal break in Europe 300,000 YBP. Erectus had asaggital crest.Itis clear by now that the “Bigfoot is an ape” theory lies in thedust. Bigfoot is a man, an ancient man, a blast from our ancientpast, a subhuman, a human ancestor. He’s one of us, but he’s not.Inaddition, we can report that the Erickson Project Bigfoot DNA studyhas isolated DNA from 20 separate Bigfoot individuals fromaround North America. They received hundreds of samples, but manywere not useful. Of the 20 separate individuals, Adrian Erickson’ssamples represented six individuals.
Oneof the samples was called “unknown hand.” This was hand of a“something,” but no one knows what. Inside the Project, peoplewere taking bets on what the hand was from. Dr. Melba Ketchum betthat it was a bear. Others bet that it was not a bear.
Ketchumnever got any money from the bet. Whatever this strange object was,it was not a bear paw. No one knows what it was. Maybe it was aBigfoot hand.DonMonroe found the hand in a dump somewhere in Montana or Idaho. Askinned bear paw that has the claws removed and resembles a humanhand to a great deal. The hand was a bone with some relict skinremaining on it. All of the hair was gone. It’s not known ifKetchum’s lab even tested the hand for DNA.Oneof the samples was a bone from a stream in Oregon. It may have been afemur. The bone looks like a human bone, but it is much too large. Itwas submitted by David Paulides’ North American Bigfoot Search(NABS).Wealso have some updates in thestory about the killing of the two Bigfoots near the Dixie MountainGame Refuge in California’s Sierra Nevada in November 2010.There were two other men in the truck with the shooter at the time.At least one of the men was absolutely hysterical that the shootershot the two Bigfoots. The other man was also not happy about thesituation.
Wecan also report that the section of Bigfoot thigh sent tothe Erickson Project DNA test from the shooting was auburnhaired, and it also had a lot of grey in it. This slab was from themother Bigfoot that was shot dead. She was probably a middle agedBigfoot, ~45 years old in human terms or ~25 years old in Bigfootterms. Her two offspring, one of which was also shot dead, were ~10years old in human terms or ~5 years old in Bigfoot terms.
Tothis date, we do not know what the shooter did after he killed thetwo Bigfoots.Iknow the name of the shooter, but for some reason, I am not releasingit, though I probably should. It will come out later anyway. His namecan be found by industrious web sleuths who are intelligent aboutInternet sleuthing. The shooter has changed his story many times, andis very afraid of going to jail over killing of these two Bigfoots.Heis wise to be afraid of this, because I know some wealthy andconnected people who told me that they are dedicated to seeingthat the shooter goes to prison over killing the Bigfoots. Thesepeople think Bigfoots are humans, so killing one is homicide. So if Iwere the shooter, I would not be straight up about this mattereither. Further, I would retain a good attorney. If the OlympicProject has any sense, they will have also spoken to attorneys too,because their mitts are all over these two killed Bigfoots.
Theshooter is a narcissist and a redneck, and I don’t like him. Youcan tell he’s a narcissist. Look at his photos. Just look at thatsmug, smarmy look in eyes. I don’t think he’s a good person.Thereare different kinds of hunters. Most hunters are good people, but aminority are not. The bad guys havethe same mindset about hunting. They basically just like to killthings because they like to kill.You can tell who the bad ones are. You can see it in their eyes. Theywill shoot just about anything as long as it is not illegal. This guyhas that look about him.
Thisis what kind of a person and hunter the shooter is. He is well knownin the hunting and taxidermy community and is not well liked atall. In that community, he is thought of as a “maniac hunter” andan “unethical hunter.”
Hecould change any time he wants, quit being bad and start being good.His choice. I don’t think he will ever change though, because he isvery happy being the smug ex-Texan prick that he is. Most of hisfriends are the same as he is, and so is the California woman whobecame his wife two years ago, who is now expecting.Mostnarcissists never feel guilt about anything that they do. There aresome reports that the shooter feels bad about killing the twoBigfoots. Perhaps he does. He may have some sort of a conscience. Ibet he’s more afraid of getting caught though.TheOlympic Project has changed their story about this shooting severaltimes now. I actually do not blame them. If I were in as deep as theyare, I would get myself a nice, fancy story too.Forseveral months after November, their line was that the OP neverwent out to the shooting site.
Thenthey said that the OP did go to the shooting site 2 weeks later,and they found a chunk of Bigfoot flesh in the snow.
Nowthe OP says that only the shooter went back 2 weeks laterand found the piece of flesh.
Thestory about going back later and finding a hunk of flesh strikes meas dubious, but maybe it happened. Who knows, right?Inaddition, the OP said for a long time after the shooting, “Let’smake one thing clear! There were no two Bigfoots shot and killed!”Butafter I broke the story, they changed their line to saying that a manthat the OP knows well did shoot and kill the two Bigfoots.Theysay he shot the first one because he thought she was a bear and shotthe second one because it was threatening him.Neitherreport is true.Theshooter knew she was not a bear. His line is he thought she wasthreatening him. And the second one wasn’t threatening him either.Theshooter was a passenger in the truck with three bear hunters nearthe Dixie Mountain Game Refuge on the California/Nevada borderin November 2010. They came around a bend, and there was a grayishwhite female Bigfoot in the road on all fours. The shooter grabbedhis gun and jumped out of his vehicle. As he jumped out, he saw theBigfoot get up on two legs and start running towards him waving herarms. When the Bigfoot saw the gun, she turned and started to runaway. The shooter shot her in the side of the chest, and the bulletpenetrated her lungs.
Shecrashed off into the brush and died. The three men went down into thebrush and saw her there. It was then that they realized that she wasnot a bear at all. They walked back up onto the road.Whenthey got to the road, they saw two small, strange creatures runningtowards them, sometimes on two legs, sometimes on four legs. Theshooter raised his gun, fired and shot one of the creatures dead. Theother small creature apparently escaped. As the shooter cradled thedying creature in his arms, they all three realized that it was ayoung creature of the same type that had just gotten shot. Thejuvenile Bigfoot had a huge head, and the shooter said it lookedexactly like the Jacobs creaturephoto.
Theshooter did not shoot the young Bigfoot because it was threateninghim, which is his story. He just shot it for some unknown reason.[This creature sounds like a giant sloth and not a Sasquatch at all. The Jacob creature is almost like a bear but has a large musselunlike a bear which is why up close witnesses know it is not a bear -arclein]Atthis point they figured out that they had killed two Bigfoots. Thetwo men with the shooter were so hysterical and upset about theshootings that they took the shooter’s gun away from him andpointed it at him, threatening him. They told him that if he tried toshoot another one of those animals, they would shoot himinstead. The story is that everyone was so upset by that point thatthey left the area. The shooter said that they left the animals inthe road, and he was not going back to the area until next fall.
Thereis a lot of fighting inside the Erickson Project. AdrianErickson and Melba Ketchum are not getting along well. At least onereason is that Erickson paid Ketchum $70,000 for the sequencing ofsix Bigfoot samples. To this date, he has not received results fromthese samples, even though those samples do represent sixseparate confirmed Bigfoot individuals. He did receive results fromone DNA test, the test he had done on himself. Most of the principalshad their own DNA tested to avoid contamination.
Ericksonhad an agreement with Ketchum that if his Bigfoot samples tested outas coming from real Bigfoots, they would then be used in the finalwriteup. One or more of his samples were from real Bigfoots, butKetchum is apparently threatening to not include them in her paperdue to their falling out. So Erickson is threatening to sue her forviolating their agreement.Ericksonhas also threatened to sue a couple of other folks, including DennisPfohl and Mike Rugg, but I am not sure of the reason. Erickson iswell liked, and he is also deeply respected. At the same time, therespect seems tinged with fear. He has sunk $3 million into thisproject, and he is not going to get it back.Onegreat thing to come out of the release of the Erickson Projectresults is that maybe Bigfoot witnesses will not be sopersecuted. Roger Patterson was not an honorable man, but he didshoot a real video of a Bigfoot in California in 1967. He was sohounded by skeptics that they may have driven him to an early grave.
BobGimlin was so upset at the hounding that he more or less retreatedfrom the public eye for over 20 years after the shooting of thevideo. He only came out in 1989. Gimlin is a tough man, but all ofthe attacks have still hurt him. Entire books and countless articlesand Internet pieces have been written about how he hoaxed the famousvideo.
FromCanada, word comes that Bigfoots are much more common aroundIndian communities than around non-Indians. It seems that Bigfootsare more comfortable around Indians than around non-Indians. One mayspeculate about reasons.
Updating aprevious story,a trapper in McBride, British Colombia has told people thathe was recently kidnapped by Bigfoots, who took him back to acave and tried to make him have sex with a female Bigfoot. It’san updated Albert Ostman story.
Anothertrapper somewhere in British Colombia is living by himself way out inthe woods far away from anyone else. He is reportedly nearlyliving with a group of Bigfoots. He sees them every single day. Thismay possibly be the same man who says he was kidnapped by Bigfoots.The stories should be followed up.
Aprevious post reportedon some Canadians who dug up a muskeg and found a Bigfoot handskeleton in it. It was a Bigfoot burial ground. In northernCanada, Bigfoots use muskegs as burial grounds. This particularmuskeg was in northern Saskatchewan.
TheBigfoot shooting and DNA stories are powerful news, maybe the storiesof the year. Bigfoot is on the verge of being formally discovered byscience.*******In1958, the Russian scientist Dr.Boris Porchnev concludedthat relict hominids, cavemen from the Stone Age, continue to liveamong us to this very day. His prophetic views have been vindicated.The implications are nothing less than breathtaking. It’s nearlythe story of the century already, and we’ve only just come roundthe bend.
