A pet theory of mine is that...the US Park Service knows that Bigfoot is real, but is suppressing it.

A number of folks claim to have been hired by the Park Service to help bury the bodies of bigfoots killed in the Mt. St. Helens eruption of the Eighties.

The National Park Service are actually involved in a conspiracy. There is a huge number of people who mysteriously go missing and the parks service claims to have no record of them.
Read some of David Palides work on the subject it is fascinating.

People here claim Park Service dropped mountain lions out of helicopters and released diamond back rattlers.

Another theory I half-believe:

The Culture Wars are a Russian false-flag operation, with Kremlin-sponsored troll farms whipping up both sides to greater and greater levels of obnoxious idiocy in order to politically destabilise the West. And whenever the latest evidence of Russian democracy-hacking comes to light, our interpretations of that play into Russia's hands too. Both liberals and conservatives leap on signs that the other side are Russian pawns, while ignoring signs that their own side are also Russian pawns. Result: key NATO countries are now divided between extreme factions who hate and fear each other too much to ever work together productively.

Have heard this idea before . am wondering if We did not do this to Russia to cause the collapse
of the USSR . And alot of this cultural destabilization here in the USA has been attributed to much
activity tthat was primarily result of mass media . on the Internet . Not that these are not real problems . But the results of all these protests have not made significant changes in our society .
Other than the powers that be , figure out better ways to hide their violations of Civil Rights.
Whereas the real problems exist in the big business and money . And the billionaire class
Pulls the strings . A reallocation of power in this country is probably a needed cure And strict adherance to Civil Rights. ..........but these are my own version of conspirascy theories.

Anything related to Area 51 or the Bermuda Triangle.

Also, I sometimes wonder "How are the New England Patriots so good? What are their secrets?"

It's all scripted, just like WWF and NASCAR. 8)

Possible grain of truth. The Ruskies didnt "create" the culture wars. But they may exploit them using the MIS-information superhighway.

That the 1968 Bigfoot film made in Oregon by a pair of rodeo cowboys was a hoax.

You mean the 1967 "Patterson-Gimlin" film made in northern California- of an alleged female bigfoot in the deep woods.

Yes...an old cowboy claims that he dressed up in a gorilla suit and pranked them into filming him.

Probably the second most scrutinized piece of film after the Zapruder film. Experts have made convincing arguments both ways. That its hoax, or that its real. But if it is a hoax...the hoaxter must have been someone working in Hollywood on Charlton Heston's Planet of the Apes movie at that time- because they were Hollwyood quality good at prosthetics.

A majority of special effects artists who worked in Hollywood shared a common consensus even to this day:
"If it is a man in an awful ape suit, then whoever came up with this idea had to plan very carefully."

Unrelated Fact: The Zapruder film was deemed historically significant by the Library of Congress and selected for permanent preservation in the National Film Registry in 1994.

Nah, we did this to ourselves via cable news, no Rooskies needed. The part that cracks me up are the people who watch MSNBC but try to dunk on the FOX people as brainwashed, when MSNBC is really just a liberal FOX knock-off, but even more biased; I mean, if you're going to mindlessly parrot talking points from TV, at least have the dignity to get taken by the best. :lol:

I watched a bunch of these videos on YouTube that night, and realized that I don't think I've even seen them outside of one or two old analogue TV documentaries.

I don't think I ever realized that "Patty" was a female.

Also, that Mississippi Skunk Ape video is kind of scary. I wonder if it's an ape that escaped from a zoo or something.

Covid is actually the Rapture. If it kills you, you've been saved. If it doesn't, you're left behind with all the rest of humanity. That's why the crazies insist the vaccine is the mark of the beast. 8)

The majority of mainstream scientists have historically discounted the existence of the Skunk Ape, considering it to be the result of a combination of folklore, misidentification, and hoax, rather than a living animal.

Never let YouTube videos do your thinking for you.
