The Problems with Islam

This whole muslim issue is blowing up across the world. Riots and demonstrations and misery is spreading throughout Europe, especially in those places that have gone out of their way to welcome muslims into their societies. See what being nice got them?  Next stop...USA.

 I live in the USA, and as a habit, for the most part, people here are tolerant of the religion of others. Yes, there may be a joke or a tease here and there, but in general, whether you are Christian or Catholic or Hindu or Jewish etc etc, people get along and co-exist peacefully. Sadly, those days are coming to an end.  Soon, a heinous pseudo-religion, namely the muslim (so called) religion of islam, will make our calm and accepting nation, a cesspool of controversy and violence.

The islamic leadership has issued a fatwa, a religious command, for muslims to spread vigorously to Europe and the Americas, and to calmly and quietly and nicely pretend to integrate into these societies. They've done so, and won over the hearts and minds of those gentle minded naive liberal souls who reside in these countries. Much to the delight of the muslims, they are being met with open and accepting arms.

Step two, once the population of muslims in any given area has grown to a sufficient number, The next stage begins.  They start calling for changes to be made to our society and culture to accommodate their needs and beliefs. They use words like "racism" and "bigotry" against the status quo in an attempt to get their interests taken seriously. In other words, they are using our own kindness and accepting culture as a weapon to mold our country into a place that best suits them and their beliefs. Everything from our habit of flying the American flag in public places, to our kids playing co-ed t-ball is being targeted for change by the muslims. All the while, the liberals with open arms and accepting ways are ignoring this slow and deliberate evolution taking place under their own noses.  If anyone tries to call attention to these issues, they are labeled Islamaphobes, or bigots, or racists....all the while, the muslims are giggling quietly while they watch the liberal welcoming agenda create an implosion within the dwindling culture the rest of us hold as vital to the peaceful survival of our nation.

Once moves have been made to make it a racial crime to not conform to how muslims demand things to be, they get their own leaders elected to political office, which leads to more laws. Laws making it illegal to make fun of islam or muslim behavior, and laws making it illegal to characterize muhammad or allah in comics are next. All the while, the liberal welcomers watch their rights dissolve. THEN they will start complaining.  But by then, it'll be too late. All those who warned of this happening, and prepared for the attempt by muslims to totally dominate America, will have created save havens and compounds, waiting for the opportunity to take our country back. Until then though, the USA will be thrust back into the middle ages.  Women will be victimized, our children will be openly married off and raped, pork will become illegal to possess, shariah law will be the law of the land, and all non-muslims will be enslaved and killed in the streets for not converting. Look in the middle east.  That's how it is there, and that's how they want the USA to be also.  

The time to step up and stop this process is NOW, not a couple years from now when it's too late to stem the unbridled flow of muslims into our country. Liberal welcomers, those yelling that the rest of us are islamaphobes for not wanting to watch our nation degrade to a pit of filth and islamic religious laws, must be made to see the danger creeping into our backyards....and front yards. 

Want to learn more about what islam is bringing to the western world? Strap yourself in. 

The Nation of Islam, composed of all the muslims in the world, is NOT a religion. 

Based upon Shariah law, and ruled over by Imams and other leaders, it is a Theocracy wrapped around a shroud of religion.

Theocracy definition: a system of government in which priests rule in the name of God or a god.

They are moving into the free nations of the world and have started making demands

about changing our laws and culture to better suit them and their beliefs. They proclaim islam as a religion, but think about it.....shouldn't religion be about love, and acceptance, and peace? Instead, the islamic "religion" is primarily about hatred and violence and pedophilia and non-acceptance. Therefore, it does not deserve the same designation and rights that real religions enjoy. 

They are demanding that laws be put in place prohibiting anyone from criticizing islam/muslims.

They are demanding that councils be put in place for adjudication of all legal issues involving muslims.

They are demanding that Shariah laws be considered as valid and applicable in USA courtrooms.

They are demanding that school lunch rooms ban the serving of pork and pork products. Incl bacon, ham, hotdogs etc

They are demanding that female muslims be allowed to wear full burka face coverings in drivers license photos.

They are demanding that they deserve interest free banking in accordance with their muslim beliefs.

They are demanding that female muslims be allowed to wear full burka face coverings in secure areas like banks. 

They are demanding that sports teams must not be allowed to be co-ed.

They are demanding that employers must provide them a separate and private space for prayers.

They are demanding that restaurants and stores stop selling pork products.

They are demanding that employers provide separate kitchen facilities for preparing non pork food. 

They are demanding that employers provide them with 5 or more break periods per work shift to allow them time to pray. 

They are demanding that employers provide special accommodations that allow muslim employees to not have to touch or sell pork or alcohol. 

They are demanding that schools and employers honor the muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha.   

They are filing lawsuits every day to try and force employers and all other establishments to accommodate the above demands.

THIS IS A CHILLING MESSAGE FROM AN EX MUSLIM

To the Infidel world:
I was born and raised as Muslim. My whole family is still Muslim. I know every genetic code of Muslim. I know Islamic brain. I live and breath with them. I am an insider. I left Islam when I understood that Islam is a sick and evil religion. Following are the Islamic message to the West.
To the infidels of the West:
Constitution for the new Islamic Republic of EU and USA is under construction.
We will fight the infidel to death.
Meanwhile American laws will protect us.
Democrats and Leftist will support us.
UNO will legitimize us.
CAIR will incubate us.
ACLU will empower us.
Western Universities will educate us.
Mosques will shelter us
OPEC will finance us
Hollywood will love us.
Koffi Annan will pass politically correct sympathetic statement for Jihadists.
USA TAX PAYERS WILL PAY FOR OUR CHILDREN TO BE EDUCATED
Our children will immigrate from Pakistan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Indonesia and even from India to the US and to the other Western countries. They will go to the West for education in full scholarship. America is paying and will continue to pay for our children’s educations and their upbringing in state funded Islamic schools.
WE USE YOUR WELFARE SYSTEM TO SEND MONEY HOME FOR JIAD
We will use your welfare system. Our children will also send money home while they are preparing for Jihad.
We will take the advantage of American kindness, gullibility, and compassion. When time comes, we will stab them in the back. We will say one thing on the camera and teach another thing to our children at home. We will give subliminal messages to our children to uphold Islam at any cost. Our children in America will always care more about Islamic Country’s interest than US interest.
We will teach our children Islamic supremacy from the very childhood. We will teach them not to compromise with Infidel. Once we do that from the very early age our children won’t hesitate to be martyr. We will take over the Europe first and then US will be the next. We already have a solid ground in the UK, Holland, Sweden, Spain, Italy, Germany, and now in the US.
Our children will marry Caucasian in Europe and in America. We will mixed with intricate fabric of the Western society but still will remember to Jihad when time comes.
Who are we?
We are the “sleeper cells”.
OUR CHILDREN WILL BE RAISED AT HOME LOYAL TO JIHAD NO MATTER WHAT THEY ARE TAUGHT IN SCHOOL
We will raise our children to be loyal to Islam and Mohammad only. Everything else is secondary.
At the time of the real fight we will hold our own children as our armor. When American or Israeli troops shoot at us the world will be watching. Imagine,- Imagine the news in the world “Death of Muslim babies by infidels”.
MEDIA WILL POOR GAS ON FIRE FOR US
We know CNN, ABC, CBS are broadcasting live. Al-Jazeera will pour gasoline on the fire. The news will spread like wildfire. “Americans killed 6 babies, 10 babies”. “Jews killed two women”,
Keep your Nukes in your curio cabinets. Keep your aircraft carrier or high-tech weaponry in the showcase. You can’t use them against us because of your own higher moral standard. We will take the advantage of your higher moral standard and use it against you.
We won’t hesitate to use our children as suicide bomber against you.
OUR BABIES ARE A GIFT FROM ALLAH FOR JIHAD
Visualize the news flash all over the world, -Moslem mother is sobbing, -.crying. -.Her babies are killed by Jews and Americans, the whole world is watching live. Hundreds of millions of Muslims all around the world are boiling. They will march through Europe. We will use our women to produce more babies who will in turn be used as armor/shield. Our babies are the gift from Allah for Jihad.
West manufactures their tanks in the factory. We will manufacture our military force by natural means, by producing more babies. That is the way it is cheaper.
You infidels at this site cannot defeat us. We are 1.2 billion. We will double again. Do you have enough bullets to kill us?
ON CAMERA AND INTERVIEWS WE WILL SAY WE ARE PEACEFUL
On the camera:
We will always say, “Islam is the religion of Peace.”
We will say, “Jihad is actually inner Jihad.”
Moderate Muslim will say there is no link between Islam and Terrorism and the West will believe it because the West is so gullible.
Moderate Muslim all over the world will incubate Jihadists by their talk by defending Islam.
WE WILL USE YOUR WESTERN LEGAL SYSTEM FOR SHARIA LAW
Using Western Legal system we will assert our Sharia Laws, slowly but surely.
We will increase in number. We will double again.
WHEN YOU MEET US WE WILL LIKE US, BUT WE WILL STAB YOU IN THE BACK WHEN IT IS TIME.
You will be impressed when you meet a moderate Muslim personally. As your next-door neighbor, coworker, student, teacher, engineer, professionals you may even like us. You will find us well mannered, polite, humble that will make you say, “wow, Muslims are good and peaceful people”, But, we will stab you in your back when you are sleeping as we did on 911.
There will be more 911 in Europe and in America. We will say, “We do not support terrorism but America got what it deserved.”
Muslims, CAIR, ISNA, MPAC and other international Islamic Organization will unite. We will partner with Leftist, ACLU, with Koffi Annan, and the UN, and if we have to then even with France. Fasten your seatbelt. The war of civilizations has just begun.
THEY WILL USE OUR VALUES AGAINST US
We will recite Quran and say Allah-Hu-Akbar before beheading infidels, as we have been doing it. We will video tape those and send it to all infidels to watch. They will surrender – ISLAM means surrender.
We will use your own values of kindness against you.
You are destined to loose.
Must be very depressing for you. Isn’t it?
Allah-Hu-Akbar
as we say just before beheading.

BACK TO THE DARK AGES
Islam will rule the world. There is nothing you can do. Even if the per capita GDP of the world drops to half of its present level as a consequence of Islamic laws in place all over the world but still Islam will rule the word.
From your point of view we bring to the world to the dark ages, so be it. But still Islam wins, West looses.
Are you sure you want to play this game?
Jihad, ..Jihad…Jeeehaaad…
You are destined to loose.
Allah-hu-Akbar
DEMOGRAPHICS IS A NUCLEAR WEAPON
Saudi Arabia’s $100 billion investment over the last 3 decades on over 60 thousands Madrassas and school all over the Islamic world is finally paying off. While the West was busy inventing medicine, increasing life expectancy, elevating human suffering, decoding human gene to find cure for Cancer, heart disease etc, launching space shuttle, inventing internet, working on new laws/theory for human rights, developing better economical models for a more prosperous world, while ACLU was gaining control over common sense, while American ingenuity was benefiting the rest of the world, we Muslims were busy producing over 200 million out of 1.4 billion, Walking, Talking, Non-Thinking, West-Hating, Pre-Programmed, Suicidal, Parasitic, Terrorist Robots. You can’t win. The Genie is out of the bottle.
We will use American’s kindness, fairness, compassion, freedom of speech and non-discriminatory policy against them. We will stab them in the back.
What are you going to do? You are doomed.

********************************************************************************************************

Can a good Muslim be a good American? This question was forwarded to a friend who worked in Saudi Arabia for 20 years. The following is his reply:

Theologically - NO. Because his allegiance is to Allah, The moon god of Arabia.
Religiously - NO. Because no other religion is accepted by His Allah except Islam. (Quran,2:256)(Koran)
Scripturally - NO. Because his allegiance is to the five Pillars of Islam and the Quran.
Geographically - NO. Because his allegiance is to Mecca , to which he turns in prayer five times a day.
Socially - NO. Because his allegiance to Islam forbids him to make friends with Christians or Jews.
Politically - NO. Because he must submit to the mullahs (spiritual leaders), who teach annihilation of Israel and destruction of America, the great Satan.
Domestically - NO. Because he is instructed to marry four Women and beat and scourge his wife when she disobeys him. (Quran 4:34 )
Intellectually - NO. Because he cannot accept the American Constitution since it is based on Biblical principles and he believes the Bible to be corrupt.
Philosophically - NO. Because Islam, Muhammad, and the Quran does not allow freedom of religion and expression.
DEMOCRACY AND ISLAM CANNOT CO-EXIST. Every Muslim government is either dictatorial or autocratic.
Spiritually - NO. Because when we declare 'one nation under God,' The Christian's God is loving and kind, while Allah is NEVER referred to as Heavenly father, nor is he ever called love in the Quran's 99 excellent names.

Therefore, after much study and deliberation... Perhaps we should be very suspicious of ALL MUSLIMS in this country. They obviously cannot be both 'good' Muslims and 'good' Americans. Call it what you wish it's still the truth. You had better believe it. The more who understand this, the better it will be for our country and our future.

The religious war is bigger than we know or understand!

Footnote: The Muslims have said they will destroy us from within.

SO FREEDOM IS NOT FREE.
THIS MESSAGE NEEDS TO ROLL ALL OVER THE U.S

Qur’an:9:88 – “The Messenger and those who believe with him, strive hard and fight with their wealth and lives in Allah’s Cause.”

Qur’an:9:5 - “Fight and kill the disbelievers wherever you find them, take them captive, harass them, lie in wait and ambush them using every stratagem of war.”

Qur’an:9:112 “The Believers fight in Allah’s Cause, they slay and are slain, kill and are killed.”

Qur’an:9:29 “Fight those who do not believe until they all surrender, paying the protective tax in submission.”

Qur’an:8:39 “Fight them until all opposition ends and all submit to Allah.”

Qur’an:8:39 “So fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief [non-Muslims]) and all submit to the religion of Allah alone (in the whole world).”

Ishaq:587 “Our onslaught will not be a weak faltering affair. We shall fight as long as we live. We will fight until you turn to Islam, humbly seeking refuge. We will fight not caring whom we meet. We will fight whether we destroy ancient holdings or newly gotten gains. We have mutilated every opponent. We have driven them violently before us at the command of Allah and Islam. We will fight until our religion is established. And we will plunder them, for they must suffer disgrace.”

Qur’an:8:65 “O Prophet, urge the faithful to fight. If there are twenty among you with determination they will vanquish two hundred; if there are a hundred then they will slaughter a thousand unbelievers, for the infidels are a people devoid of understanding.”

Qur’an:9:123 “Fight the unbelievers around you, and let them find harshness in you.”

Ishaq:578 “Crushing the heads of the infidels and splitting their skulls with sharp swords, we continually thrust and cut at the enemy. Blood gushed from their deep wounds as the battle wore them down. We conquered bearing the Prophet’s fluttering war banner. Our cavalry was submerged in rising dust, and our spears quivered, but by us the Prophet gained victory.”

Finally....Here are 13 things that muslims embrace:
1] Kill any one who insults Islam or Moham-mad. (Koran.33;57-61).
2) Kill all Muslims who leave Islam. (Koran.2;217/4;89/Bukhari.9;84-57).
3) Koran can not be doubted. (Koran.2;1).
4) Islam is the only acceptable religion. (Koran.3;85).
5) Muslims must fight (jihad) to non-Muslims, even if they don't want to. (Koran.2;216).
6) We the non-Muslims are pigs and apes. (Koran. 2;62-65/Koran.5;59-60/Koran.7;166).
7) We the non-Muslims cannot be friends with Muslims. (Koran.5;51).
8) Non-Muslims are the enemies of Muslims and Islam. (Koran.4;101).
9) We the non-Muslims can be raped as sex slave. (Koran.4;3 & 24/5;89/23;5/33;50/58;3/70;30).
10) We the non-Muslims the vilest of creatures deserving no mercy. (Koran.98;6).
11) Muslims must terrorized us (non-Muslims). (Koran.8;12 &59-60/ Bukhar)  

12) Mohammad would take a bath with his 6 yr old child bride and fondle her. (Bukhar 6:298)

13) Mohammad deflowered his 9yr old child bride when he was 54.(Bukhar 7.62.88)

While I do not condone or encourage violence against muslims, I do condone and encourage everyone to pay attention to what is going on around us, and to speak up and do everything you can to stop the rampant spread of this evil doctrine's influence on our peaceful society. To remain silent, and not speak out or prepare for the coming period of uncertainty, is to condone the end of life as we know it in the USA, and eventually the cutting of your own throat.

What if you shot a Bigfoot on your property.......

The other day I was pondering something.... What would I do if a squatch came at me on my property and I was able to make a kill with my .300 Blackout. So I made a list of what I'd do, and what I'd advise you to do in that situation.

1) DON'T CALL THE POLICE, or any public or governmental agency. That would be the quickest way to lose your prize. State, Fed, or military peeps would show up with machine guns and the party would be over. The body, and all your cameras and recording media would be confiscated and you will be threatened with death and disaster if you ever talk about the situation.

2) Secure the site. Get your kid, your wife, your neighbor, your brother...people with guns to the site asap. Restrict access to your property.

3) Properly take samples of skin, hair, blood, saliva, even scat and urine if you can. Freeze and hide these samples.

4) Get the body recorded...video and pix. Crystal clear well lit up close video and pix. Use up every video card you can...you'll never have too much video or photo evidence of a dead bigfoot. Hide all video and photo evidence. Then call the local news stations, (Don't tell them why you are calling, just say you have a HUGE world wide story they can be the first to document if they are so inclined) get them out there to get video evidence. Call every news station. Block your property entrance with vehicles and armed men and ONLY let the news people in. 

5) Get a veterinarian to your property asap to examine the body and take more samples. Don't tell him the truth when you call. Tell him you have 3 horses all dying and it's an emergency. Get him on camera saying that this is indeed a real creature, an undocumented species of bipedal hominid.

6) Start emailing Animal Planet and the Nat Geo folks..

7) Dig a 3 foot deep hole, wide and long enough for the body. Put the body in it and pack a layer of bags of ice all over it. Park a truck over the hole and wait for Animal Planet/Nat Geo people to arrive.

8) Contact these people. Let them know you have a body and they are welcome to come examine it to their heart's content..... Dr Jeff Meldrum, Dr John Bindernagel, Dr.Todd Disotell, Jimmy Chilcutt, Cliff Barackman, Bobo Faye, Matt Moneymaker. Then contact as many bigfoot researchers as possible and get them access to the body. Many of them have dedicated their life to researching bigfoot. They deserve to finally have their day. You will be their hero. 

Don't contact a university, most are at least partially funded by the government. However, I would gladly transport my Bigfoot body to a location where Dr Jeff Meldrum of Idaho State University could study it. I suspect that he would love to do a proper exam. Unless you have a well secured cold storage facility, you will eventually have to let someone take the body. But only allow a trusted private person/group to take it for REAL scientific analysis at a secret spot, and only after many many people have taken evidence samples and video and photos. If you do it just right, you can get people there and gone before the government shows up. Unless they have a warrant you can restrict anyone's access to your property. You may not get any sleep for a couple days, but it'll be worth it. You'll be famous.

You may ask...why would I have to go to all this trouble? Why can't I just call the police and let them handle it? Good question. The federal government, believe it or not, monitors all police dept communications. If a 911 caller says, hey, I killed a bigfoot on my property (or a ufo crashed in my yard and little grey men are spread out on my lawn), within moments a federal government rep will contact that police dept and order them to NOT investigate the call, and to delete any reference to that 911 call immediately. It's also believed that either men in black or military peeps will show up and take over the site, confiscating everything, and threatening to ruin your world if you tell anyone else.  There is a guy in Texas who is a bigfoot researcher. He didn't kiss the ass of some of these men in black, and well, they pretty much shut down his life.  Shut off his facebook, shut off his you tube channel, closed his email accounts, shut off his internet service, banned him from blogs that were either his or ones he was a member of, and daily harass him and his wife any time they drive out of their driveway....essentially made him cease to exist outside of his home. The government has the ability to go into any website and simply...delete you. Scary eh? The dept of the interior is a deep and creepy entity.  

In the world of bigfoot there is a widely held belief that the federal govenment and military are well aware of the creature's existence, but they do not want the existence of this new species of homonid to become widely known and officially scientifically and publicly verified. The government believes (it's strongly suspected) that if we verify its existence it would lead to very bad things for our nation and its economy. The logging industry, aka the housing industry, would be shut down, since bigfoot would immediately be classified as an endangered species and it inhabits much of the logging industry's stomping grounds. Anonymous sources within the logging industry claim that the industry issues secret rules regarding what their employees are to do in the event they encounter one of the creatures. They want people to keep quiet. Period. I heard an interview with a guy who worked for a state forest conservation organisation in Wash state. He told his co-workers about seeing a bigfoot several times in his life. His boss told him to shut up about it. But he didn't, so they not only fired him, they made it so no other state or federal forestry agency in the nation will hire him. This respectable man with college degrees and 20 yrs of forestry and wildlife expertise and 10 yrs as a teacher is basically now barely surviving by parking cars at a medical facility. That's how serious the government is about keeping bigfoot a myth. 

The other reason the government would want to keep bigfoot quiet, is because of the hundreds of millions of dollars in income the national parks bring in every year, not only to the actual parks, but also to the surrounding communities. Hundreds, if not thousands, of people go missing without a trace in state and national parks every year in the USA. (Google or YouTube David Paulides and his Missing 411 books) Some believe bigfoot is the reason for these vanishing people. If bigfoot is proven real, then families would be made aware of all these missing people and sightings etc, and tend to vacation elsewhere. Lastly, if bigfoot is proven real, then eventually someone would leak that the government has known of them for decades. 

So that's why you don't want to call the police, or any other state, public, federal, or governmental agency if you happen to find yourself in the possession of a bigfoot body. 

Re: Dad who defended his daughter from racist bullies

In case you haven't seen the story.....

A father of a black teen girl found out that his daughter was being racially bullied. He obtained proof of this then tried to settle the issue with the parents of the students that were bullying his daughter. In response, he was then racially bullied himself by the father of the bullies. He obtained the proof of that bullying then went on youtube and created a video about the situation that has gone viral with over a million hits in the last couple of days. Secondly, a local newscast did a report on the story, as well as a follow up on what happened to the father of the bullies as a result of his actions. 

Original video the dad posted about his daughter being bullied:  Dad's video

Newscast about the event:  News report

My 2 cents after watching the videos: It's people who see wrongs committed yet fail to say anything publicly that has allowed garbage like racist bullying to go on. Bravo to the dad who said the names, people need to know who these idiots are, and they deserve the wrath of society in response to their behavior. If I had an employee whom I found out was racially harassing someone who was also harassed by his kids...I'd likely do the same thing. I refuse to be associated with such trashy people, and I would not want my business to be affiliated with them either. If the business owner hadn't done that, I suspect that if the racist's enemies found out where he worked, the business would receive some kind of retribution for employing such a racist moron. Racism and bullying will only go on as long as the good people among us allow it to prosper.  

My Heart Attack

Around ten years ago I had what is officially referred to as a myocardial infarction, which is better known as a Heart Attack. About 4 months later I wrote this essay about my experience. After posting it online and showing it to coworkers I got a lot of feedback thanking me for writing it, since within just a couple weeks of sharing it, it saved at least two lives. Imagine that, take a couple hours out of your day and it could save several lives. For the same reason, I share this essay again here, to a possibly wider audience. Both men and women should pay attention to it. It just might keep you out of the grave. 

My adventure started on a cool Thursday evening. I had arrived home from work at around 9:30pm, and decided to fix something to eat. I felt fine. There was no indication that anything was wrong or out of the ordinary concerning my health.

By 10:20pm or so I had finished eating and was cleaning up the kitchen. I wasn’t stressed or upset, nor was I fatigued or strained in any way. I was tired from working all day, yes, but in no way exhausted or stressed. It was then that it hit.

As I was about to exit the kitchen, I quickly developed a very sharp, burning sensation in the center of my chest. When it arrived, I just thought that I had eaten something a bit too hot, and surmised that it had mildly irritated my esophagus. I drank 2 glasses of ice water, then a small glass of milk, hoping that the coolness would suffice to ease the now worsening discomfort. Well, no such luck. Though I was far from being panicked, I was wishing with all I had that it would soon pass.

I recall stopping and debating whether or not this was digestive in nature, or a heart attack. Yes….the H word did pop into my head. However, the pain was very localized and seemed like it was right above where I assumed the top of my stomach to be. What I can now refer to as a localized pain, can only be likened to a burning chunk of charcoal resting right above my stomach. It was a searing kind of pain, as if something was literally on fire in my esophagus. There were no shooting pains over to or down my left arm, no pains up into my jaw area, nor was there any shortness of breath or tightness in my chest. Though I was beginning to get very worried, I still held out hope that this was a bad bad bad bad case of heartburn.

Within 2 minutes of its onset, the terrible pain, which I affectionately refer to as ‘horribly heinous’, had my total attention and nearly rendered me unable to do much other than drop to the floor in agony. I ordered myself to remain standing, then walked…..slowly….to my bedroom. I laid down on the bed to see if changing the gravitational pull on my body would effect the pain. It didn’t. In fact, I think it got a little worse.

After lying on the bed for a moment or two debating what I should do, I began feeling sick to my stomach. I had to puke. After dragging myself to the bathroom and emptying the contents of my stomach into the toilet, I fully expected to feel a little better. Since I felt sick to my stomach, I, in my very fearful opinion, assumed that it must be a digestive issue. However, the burning was still there and getting worse by the minute.

I went back to my bedroom and sat down on my bed and again thought about what I should do. If I called 911 and went to the emergency room, I worried that I’d make a big embarrassing scene only to be told it was just a minor issue. I didn’t call my room mate, since I didn’t want to drag him away from whatever he was doing, then later find out it was a false alarm, making me feel bad for disrupting his life. So I decided to drive to the drug store approximately a mile from the house, buy some maalox or something like that and see if that would relieve my pain. I put on some sweats, grabbed my wallet and my cell phone and headed to my truck.

The drive to the drug store, now, looking back, seems more like a dream than anything. I was in a dazed agony and fortunately don’t recall much about it other than how I wished I drove a rocket ship instead of a pickup truck.

I really can’t stress strongly enough how painful this was. I’ve never experienced anything like it in my 37 years. It was a horrible searing unrelenting pain that would not let up one tiny bit no matter what I did. It was very difficult to stand up, let alone walk. My face was blood red from the straining to keep going as I walked into the store. I hoped….out loud….that the stomach remedy aisle would be easy to find.

I located the correct aisle and picked up something maximum strength and fast-acting. I struggled to the front of the store and paid the 6 bucks for the medicine. As I walked out of the store I tore open the lid and drank several mouthfuls of the horribly flavored concoction. With each step I took towards my truck, I realized more vividly that it wasn’t helping, therefore, I must be having a heart attack. I climbed into the truck and thought about my next move. I was getting weak, as well as sick to my stomach again.

Since I knew there is a small, fairly new hospital 3 or 4 miles from where I was, I decided to head off in that direction. I was very new to the city and had no idea what the quickest route to it would be. However, I was going there one way or another.

As I drove toward the exit to the street, I saw a police car parked on the shoulder right next to the edge of the parking lot. I drove to a grassy area next to the police car, exited my truck and started the 50 foot stumble toward it.

By this time I had been in pain, I’m guessing, around 15 minutes. The time was after 10:30pm so it was totally dark outside on this February 2004 night. One or two lights illuminated the area next to the drug store, so I could at least see where I was going as I walked across the grass and through the shallow ditch that stood between me and the police car.

Having been in the security business in the past, I know that police officers do NOT like people to walk up on them as they sit in their car. Therefore, I made sure the officer, a young woman around 25 years old, saw me clearly and could plainly tell that I was in extreme distress. I squatted next to her car as she rolled down the window.

Me: (out of breath and obviously in pain) Can you tell me how to get to the nearest hospital?

Her: (very concerned) Why, is something wrong?

Me: Well…..I think I’m having a heart attack.

A look of shock and surprise flashed across her face, but she handled it brilliantly.

Her: Wouldn’t it be better if I called an ambulance for you? If you think you are having a heart attack, you shouldn’t be driving. It wouldn't be safe since you might pass out and kill yourself and some family in an accident. They could be here in just a couple of minutes.

I looked over my shoulder at the truck.

Just the thought of walking back to it made me agree with her.

Me: (wincing) Yeah….that might be a pretty good idea….can you call them?

By that time, she was already on her radio, requesting assistance.

I thanked her and leaned up against her car. Within 30 seconds, another police car pulled up in front of hers with it’s rotating lights on. A male officer got out of it and asked what was wrong. I told him I think I’m having a heart attack. As the female officer got out of her vehicle, they both suggested that I sit down on the nearby curb. I did as suggested.

As I sat there in the dark, all alone in this strange city, I simply could not believe this was happening to me. I had just moved there and started a new job a week earlier, so my insurance wouldn’t be going into effect for another 10 days. I had no family or friends within 1500 miles, and there I was, on the verge of kicking the bucket on the side of the road. Sheeesh…..what luck eh?

After 2 or 3 minutes of enduring some stupid questions from the male officer about what I had eaten that day, a faint hint of a siren in the distance broke the serene silence of the evening. As it got louder, my mind was racing….

I hope this isn’t just a simple digestive thing, but then again I really don’t want it to be a heart attack either. I was torn between embarrassment and bankruptcy, when actually all I should have been concerned with was staying alive long enough to see my children and my wife just one more time. Realizing that, I was ashamed at my own thoughts, and decided that whatever happens, I have no plans to die tonight.

To my surprise, a fire truck rolled into the parking lot. Two firemen exited it and approached me with a suitcase and an oxygen bottle. The first one, whom I assumed was in charge, began asking me a series of questions about what I was feeling right then, the series of events leading up to his arrival, what I had eaten earlier, and if I was on any medication. I answered his questions as he strapped a clear mask over my mouth and nose. He told me to just breath deeply and try to stay calm. He informed me that an ambulance was on its way and should be there any minute.

It was about this time that I came upon the realization that…, “Oh shit, this is serious. I am actually having a friggin heart attack! I could pass out at any moment.”

The ambulance soon arrived and 2 burly guys got out of it. The larger of the two came over to the firetruck I was sitting next to, got a run down of my vitals from the fireman, then proceeded to ask me pretty much the same questions the fireman had asked.
(All emergency folks must attend some course that teaches them to ask what people ate last)

The 2nd ambulance guy was unloading a wheeled bed for me. I rolled my eyes. Oh great.

They helped me climb up onto the wheeled bed and told me to relax as they strapped me on. I was sooo thankful when I saw that they weren’t going to put a neck brace on me like you always see on TV. I laughed to myself.

Once in the ambulance, the leader of the pair began checking my pulse and blood pressure, then he initiated radio contact with the hospital. He was giving them a lot of info about me and my condition, as the other guy sat down to start an IV in my right arm.

I asked him if he was any good at starting IV’s. He seemed a bit insulted by my question, but eventually answered “yes” as he cleaned the planned IV site with an alcohol pad. I watched as he poked me 4 times, without any success. At that point, I told him to stop and let the other guy try it in the other arm. Once again, he seemed insulted, but heck, that shit hurts. One needle going in you is bad enough, but when someone has made four unsuccessful attempts, it’s time to try something different. Of course, the other guy hit the vein on my left arm on his first try. I was so glad.

While the leader of the two resumed his radio communications, and putting little EKG monitor stickers all over my torso, the other guy got behind the wheel and started us on our way.

Within a few seconds I noticed that we were going in the opposite direction of the hospital I mentioned earlier. I asked the EMT why. He then explained that they were taking me to the bigger, better equipped hospital about 10 minutes away. Sounded good to me, so I laid back and relaxed, allowing myself to be lulled a bit by the wailing siren we emitted into the darkness.

Throughout all of this, I resolved to chill out and stay as calm as possible. I was asking questions and cutting up a bit with the EMT, but he didn’t really seem interested in visiting. I suppose that what he knew, and I didn’t, was that I could die at any second. Now, several months later, I hear stories that folks tell me about their uncle or grandfather who had the same thing happen that I did, but they keeled over and croaked before emergency people arrived. Man, I was indeed lucky to be in that ambulance.

He kept checking the EKG readout and asking me about my pain level. I told him, on a scale of one to ten, ten being the worst possible pain known to mankind, I was hovering at a good solid 7.38. It wasn’t as bad as it had been at home, but was still pretty bad.

He radioed the hospital again to give them an update as we flew down the road. I pictured us blasting past red lights, and people pulling over unemotionally to the side of the road as the ambulance passed, then continuing on their journey to taco bell or wherever they were going.

After exchanging some medical terminology over the radio, my attendant instructed me to open my mouth and raise my tongue. He then sprayed something with a tart flavor under my tongue and told me I’d have a splitting headache in a few seconds. I waited. Nope. No pain in my head. He seemed frustrated, then sprayed the stuff under my tongue again. I was anxious for the headache to hit me, but uh uh, nuttin. “The stuff isn’t working.” I told him.

He sprayed the chemical (which I was later told is nitro glycerin) one more time, and finally, I started to feel a head rush of sorts. That’s apparently what we were shooting for, because he didn’t spray any more. He asked me if my chest felt any better. At that moment I really couldn’t tell, but once I thought about it, I agreed that the pain was a tiny bit less than it had been moments before, but I was still very uncomfortable.

I asked him point blank if I was having a heart attack. He said that he isn’t a doctor, so he can’t make a diagnosis. I said I understand, then I asked a different question. “In your experience with numerous cases similar to mine, and taking into consideration the stuff you can see on that EKG readout, would it be logical for me to surmise that it is highly likely that I am having a heart attack?” He replied with a slight smile, “Right now we’re blazing down the road with lights and sirens, desperately trying to get you to the hospital as fast as possible. And Jeff, lemme tell ya, we rarely do that. So, whudda you think?”

Though I knew the answer before even asking, I replied, “Wonderful.”

I asked him how long till we arrive at the hospital. He said 2 or 3 minutes. I pulled the cell out of my pocket and called my room mate Stephen. He was freaking out, since he had driven by the commotion at the drugstore, saw a truck that looked like mine parked nearby, but wasn’t for sure, since it was pretty dark. I told him yes, I’m on my way to the hospital with what looks like a heart attack. I was mostly concerned with someone notifying my family in case I exited stage left. He was still in a state of amazed horror, but told me he’d see me in the ER as fast as he could get there. Though I had only known the guy for a couple of weeks, it calmed me and made me feel pretty good that he was already a friend I could count on when I needed him most. As I watched my life flash before my eyes, I felt extremely lonely and a little scared, and needed all the support I could get.

Everything that occurred over the next 2 or 3 minutes, from the time the ambulance stopped until I was moved from the wheeled ambulance bed and onto the hospital bed, was a blur. I don’t remember any of it at all.

The next thing I do recall is about 4 or 5 people hovering over me, asking me a lot of questions, (yes, some were about what I had eaten) taking my blood pressure, taking blood, checking my temperature and sticking more of those patches all over my upper body so they could hook me up to a heart monitor. I asked why they didn’t just use the same patches that the ambulance dude put on me. The nurse replied that they weren’t compatible. I made a mental note to suggest later that they simplify the process by using compatible equipment.

A nurse to my left was hooking me up to an IV, while a nurse on my right was trying to start another one in the same place that the driver failed to start one at in the ambulance. Eventually, I talked them into starting the second IV in my left arm, since it seemed to have easier to locate and puncture veins. They did as I requested and hit the vein on the first try, taped it down and capped it off. In frustration I asked them what the sense was in putting me through that painful ordeal, when all they were going to do was cap it off. They explained, in a practiced tone, that they always have 2 IV’s, in case they have to pump me full of large amounts of meds all at once. I said…”Oh…ok….makes sense I rekkin.”

The doctor then came in, looked at all the machines I was hooked up to, read some papers the nurses had been scribbling on, which I assumed contained all the info gathered on me thus far, then asked me to tell him the whole story from the moment the pain first hit me. As he listened to me, surprisingly attentively, I told him the entire story. It took me a good 5 minutes, then I sat back to await the verdict.

He said, “Well…..you are having a heart attack. We’ve already contacted the Cardiologist on call, and he is now on his way up here to examine you and see what he can do. Until he arrives, we’ll keep you stabilized and give you some morphine to ease your pain a bit.” Within seconds, a nurse walked in and injected a syringe full of clear liquid into my IV.

I remember thinking…”Yessss!!!…..MORPHINE!!!” I’ve always wondered what it felt like when they jack you up with that stuff. I smiled as I awaited it’s presence in my system.

If you’ve never had morphine injected directly into your bloodstream in copious amounts, I’ll try to describe it. It was almost worth it to have a heart attack, just to satisfy my curiosity.

Over the years of watching the ER shows on the discovery channel, I’ve seen them, on numerous occasions give folks morphine via IV. They always seem to feel better afterward, so I knew it had to be good stuff.

Within mere seconds after the injection there is a distinct warmth that begins at the site of the IV, then spreads throughout your body over the next 45 seconds or so. Though I expected it to make me forget who I was as soon as it reached my brain, I was a bit disappointed that my first noticeable reaction to it was pain cessation. Well, not really cessation per se, but rather, I didn’t care so much about the pain due to morphine’s remarkable ability to help you to not give a shit. Sorry, but that’s the easiest way to characterize the sensation it creates. I was still hurting, but silly things like the colors of the nurses uniforms mesmerized me for a moment or three, helping me to forget that I was in pain.

Then came the loopiness. Finally, no pain, and I was stoned. What better way to go through an experience like this. I recall thinking to myself how it was perfectly obvious to me now why people would or could become a morphine junkie. If someone could bottle that feeling and sell it legally, they’d be a billionaire. Man, that morphine is good stuff.

Ok, back to the story.

The cardiologist showed up. I liked him immediately because….well…..he was going to save my life. That, and the fact that he was wearing a Texas t-shirt, served to make me feel more at home. I had been living in Texas for two years prior to moving to South Carolina three weeks before this night.

He sat down and calmly explained what he felt was the wisest course of action, which was to do angioplasty to open up the blocked artery and effectively stop the heart attack in its tracks. He explained that it was not without risks, but that any possible risks were far outweighed by the HUGE risk I’d be taking by refusing to let him do what he was suggesting. Like anyone with any sense, I consented. Immediately I was whisked away down a hallway and into a waiting elevator by his two assistants. The following hour or so was the weirdest part of my adventure.

I recall being put onto a table and stripped nude and covered with a blanket. The male assistant began shaving a part of my groin area, while the 2 females began rapidly dressing the area around me for the surgical procedure. I was, as usual, asking questions and cutting up a bit, but they weren’t responding.

I asked them why they were in such a hurry. One of the females stopped long enough to look me in the eye and told me, “We are desperately trying to save your life, so we are preparing this room, and you, for this procedure as fast as humanly possible. Do you understand?” I nodded, and didn’t speak to them any more.

Once the doctor came into view, I asked him to knock me out for the procedure. I explained that I was terrified and did not want to be awake and conscious of him digging around inside me. Just the thought of that gave me the creeps. He told me not to worry, that he’d make sure I feel nothing, and that I’d remember none of it. That calmed me, so I sat back and waited for the festivities to begin.

I remember looking up at the ceiling and counting the tiles hanging above me. The doctor asked me if I could hear his voice. I told him that I could, then he informed me that it was all over, and that all went picture perfect.

I was speechless. Holy cow….that was wild! My amazement at going out then back without even realizing it was eclipsed only by the relief of having survived.

As they readied me to be moved from the room, I asked if I was out the whole time. I was shocked when he told me that I was awake and talking to him during the entire procedure, giving him feedback on what I was feeling at certain stages. That blew my mind. It’s so cool what these guys can do with drugs.

I was formally diagnosed with a myocardial infarction involving the LAD. That means....a heart attack caused by a plugged up left anterior descending artery. In case you don't know....the LAD provides the vast majority of your heart's blood supply, and, in it's plugged up state, according to the info I was given, is the most common cause of death in men.

In my case....the doctor did angioplasty, but the artery closed back up. Therefore, he installed a stent. A stent is a small tubular metallic device that is permanently installed in the artery to help hold the artery open. In addition to the stent, I have to take 4 pills every morning, and 2 in the evening. These are blood thinners, blood pressure pills, a cholesterol reducer and a beta blocker.

I'll have to take meds every day for the rest of my life. Sound fun? Oh, it's not too bad, until it's time to renew my prescriptions. The meds I have to take add up to over $400 per month. That kinda throws a damper on things doesn't it? Welcome to my life.

Now, several months later, I look back upon this experience with sadness. It marked the end of my youth and the beginning of old age. No….I’m not really old….but just the thought of having to take medications every day to keep me alive, makes me feel old in many ways.

Like most young men, I never worried very much about death or being disabled. I felt good, looked good, and expected nothing like this to occur until I was at least in my late 50’s. But it just goes to show you how life can be sometimes.

As a result of the heart attack, I’ve suffered depression and angst, fear and constant anxiety. I was not able to continue the career I enjoyed so, and was forced to re-align my priorities and go a different direction. Every little strange sensation causes me to stop all I’m doing, to listen to my body, expecting at any time to be hit again with a pain you just can’t stop. It’s hard to live like this, but I have to. I have no choice.

The purpose for this essay is to enlighten and educate. I was lucky, damned lucky, for every day thousands across this planet don’t get the opportunity for a second chance at life like I have.

No, I'm not bitter. Well, maybe I am a little bitter, but deep inside I suspect that everything happens for a reason.

I guess the moral to this story is……always expect the unexpected, tell those you love how you feel about them, call 911 if you have a terrible pain, and if it does happen to you.......don’t give up.

Thank you for your time. Be kind to each other. 

Weird News

The crazy things that people do that lands them in the news never ceases to amaze me. Though with the billions of Humans on this planet, I spose anything is possible. As I surf the web and check out the headlines from across the globe I find myself shaking my head in shock and amazement more and more these days. While a lot of what I read disgusts me, what bothers me most of all are those who murder and torture and do other wretched things to their fellow Humans, some of which are their own flesh and blood relatives and spouses. People killing their kids is happening more and more it seems, and what about all these teachers having sexual relationships with youngsters in their schools? Is insanity and bizarre behavior becoming the norm?  Geez, it seems so. Below are a few weird news stories I have happened across recently. Do you feel the same? Are you amazed that our world is becoming a breeding ground of weirdos and lunatics and strangeness?             

1...As you likely are aware, arranged marriages are common in many parts of the world. Why this would seem like a good idea that anyone would want to participate in is beyond me. Often-times these arranged nuptials are set up by family members when the brides and grooms are mere children less than 10 yrs old and the marriages are put into action without the bride and groom ever having laid eyes on each other or knowing anything about their soon to be spouse other than their name. In the case you can learn about by clicking on the link at the end of this paragraph, an arranged marriage between some Muslims resulted in a sad situation. Since, as we all know, Muslim women are not allowed to be viewed by any males other than their spouse or men they are related to, and typically wear the hijab coverings from head to toe any time they are out of their homes, it isn't until AFTER the marriage ceremony that the new husband gets to view his new bride. Well, needless to say, this often results in shock and disappointment if his new wife isn't up to par in the looks department. If a man doesn't find his wife attractive, or wants out of the marriage for any other reason, he need only renounce her three times publicly and the wedding has been annulled, resulting understandably in the hurt feelings of the jilted bride. This situation apparently comes up quite often. Here's a story about one such event: I MARRIED HER??

2...A mom in Texas went off the deep end and murdered her 3 and a half week old baby boy.  Apparently this crazy woman had been on and off her meds and in and out of mental hospitals for years. Next, some moron trying to get himself a piece of tail decided that out of all the available females in Texas, it would be a good idea to get THIS woman (with multiple recent psychotic episodes under her belt) pregnant.  After she had the baby everything seemed ok for a bit, then one day mom started hearing voices telling her that the devil had moved into her baby's body.  After a couple weeks of trying to ignore these voices, she finally gives in and decides to solve the problem. Well, the only way to get rid of the devil, as we all know, is to horrifically attack and murder the poor person with the devil inside them, so she did. But it doesn't end there. OHHHH no. She stabbed the baby to death, disemboweled little Scotty all over the floor, cut off his head, peeled the skin off his body with a knife, bit his toes off, then plucked the brain out of the decapitated head and proceeded to eat her precious newborn child's brain. If you are a parent...or anyone for that matter...could you imagine how whacked out your mind would have to be before you would kill or even harm anyone, let alone a child, let alone your OWN child? Ugh, it's sickening, but it happened. Want to read more about this story?  Mom ate her baby.  

3...Down in Arkansas there is a gun store / gun club / shooting range that has banned Muslims from using the facility. They aren't welcome there at all and will be asked to leave if they wander in wanting to rent a gun and use the indoor range. Apparently a while back a father and son (who are of Indian descent but are American citizens) were a little too brown for the gun range owner's personal taste. She questioned them a bit, but I guess didn't believe them when they said "we are Hindu, not Muslims", because she asked them to exit the premises, or else she would call the police. They left, but reported this situation to the authorities and the the news channels. I can totally understand why these gentlemen would be offended, but on the other hand I can totally understand why the gun range owner has banned Muslims from her establishment. Based upon the way the world is going, and after reading up on the Qu'ran, she's determined that the Nation of Islam is not a religion, but rather an attempt at establishing a governmental type relationship with their followers that states in their holy (law) book that it's a requirement that anyone who isn't Muslim or who refuses to convert to Islam, needs to be killed (preferably by removing their head with a dull knife or in a hail of bullets). As such, she sees her Muslim ban as an honest attempt to protect herself and her customers from a group of people who have already made it clear that they want to kill all non-Muslims. Business is booming and she has the full support of those who frequent her establishment. Want to read the gun club owner's reasons for banning Muslims?  Click here >  Muslim Free Zone

4...Remember the book that came out in 2010 called the Boy Who Came Back From Heaven?  It's the story of a 6 yr old boy and how he was badly injured and left in a 2 month coma and was paralyzed after a car accident.  After waking up he announced that while he was out, he visited heaven and met Jesus etc etc. It was a big deal for Christians to hear this story and learn about all the wonderful things awaiting them once they cross over and go to heaven after death. It sold over a million copies, as the book has been carried in scads of Christian and mainstream bookstores across the land for more than 4 years. Unfortunately, though, bookstore owners are now starting to pull these books and their related products off the shelves and people are complaining about being ripped off and lied to. Why, you ask? Because earlier this week the boy, Alex Malarkey (a fitting last name) has released a statement saying that he made it all up. Yup, he says he just did it for attention. Want to read the story?  Boy Lied About Heaven 

5...Last but not least, another tidbit about the Islamic belief system.  And no, I am not picking on Muslims, in future blogs you will see that I have an equal disdain for pretty much all religion in general. Stay tuned for that...it'll surely curl your toes. But anyway....ahem...Muslims have now been told that it is a SIN to make snowmen.  Gulp! WTF??  Yessir, some Saudi cleric has told Muslims to stop making snowmen with your kids because it's against the holy scriptures and just out right anti-Islamic !  Don't believe me? Check this out > Snowman = EVIL 

Thanks for your time. Be kind to each other !

The Bigfoot Issue...for the Beginner

The question regarding the existence of a usually nocturnal man-like hairy hominid with huge feet and an uncanny ability to avoid being detected and seen and recorded while living in the woods and meadows across the USA and other countries, is indeed a fascinating one. I've been interested in the subject since I was a kid back in the 70's and remain today intricately interested in the subject. I subscribe to a couple of blogs and websites on the topic, as well as a dozen or so YouTube channels on the subject of Sasquatch/Bigfoot.

Some of these YouTube channels are really cool, in that the researchers are going out in the woods with their HD video cameras and documenting their attempts to either find evidence of, catch a glimpse of, or interact with these shadowy creatures. While more often than not, these people are coming up empty....occasionally they post video evidence that wows the kid in all of us, and shows us that there just might be something to this whole Bigfoot thing. In the future I plan to discuss some of the wretched politics revolving around the Bigfoot world, but today I just want to lightly discuss the topic for those of you who want to get an idea of what's going on without having to do hours of research into the topic.

Where do you stand on the subject? Do you feel that all of us believers are nuts, that there is no way on Earth that this creature could possibly exist? Well, if that's the case, you might want to rethink the subject. More and more people these day, both laymen and academics alike, are starting to give this area of research a second look. The fact that more believers are coming around every day is NOT an indication that they actually exist. Instead, more and better techniques of gathering and recording evidence are being put into play every day, and this is resulting in more and harder evidence coming to light that is becoming more difficult for the world to ignore.

My personal view on the Bigfoot/Sasquatch topic is thus; Though I need some really good evidence or a personal experience to definitely know they exist, I believe that it is entirely possible that a hairy 8 foot ape/human type 'creature' may exist in the wild wooded areas where mankind typically doesn't go. Entirely too many sightings and reports of these creatures continue to stream in for it to be likely that they are all imagining things. While some may be tricks of shadowy light or mis-identification of some other known creature, an increasing number of sightings and reports that are made public are coming from dependable eye witnesses who are either trained observers, wildlife experts, law enforcement, or other people who possess spotless and respectable reputations within their communities. While I suspect that these believable witnesses have always been seeing these things, they've tended to keep it to themselves to avoid the public scorn which has historically followed behind those who claim to have seen one of these creatures. Due to the increased mainstream discussion about the subject in every day media in our society, it is only now, that more and more people are coming forth to talk about what they saw or experienced.

Evidence that Bigfoot may be in the area tends to be....stick structures, either X's or small teepee-like structures, nesting areas, trees, both dead and alive, are being pushed down to block paths, and are sometimes occurring while the researcher is nearby. Footprints, both singular and as a part of a trackway are being found across the country in many hotspots. Tree knocking happens quite often, and howls have been recorded and analyzed by experts in the vocal calls of known animals. Some of which cannot be identified as a known animal.

Bigfoot creatures are often seen crossing roads or paths in wilderness areas such as around lakes and within state parks and national forests. Hunters and bike riders and campers and families walking the dog and senior citizens just going for a relaxing walk with a loved one, all are seeing Bigfoot.

Hikers and campers enjoying the wooded areas are sometimes assailed by rocks flying at them from unseen sources, while grunts and growls and rustling in nearby bushes are scaring the bejesus out of others. People awakened in tents in the early morning hours are hearing two-legged footfalls moving around outside and within their camping areas, and some have even had a hand or a knee or some other body part of an unknown creature push in the side of the tent fabric mere inches from the faces of terrified people within. When the people get the guts to exit their tent and shine a light around the area, most often they only catch a glimpse of some hairy creature on two feet disappearing into the nearby woods or brush. However there have been a few reports of these people finding themselves standing face to face with an 8 foot menacing creature, staring at them as if they are as shocked to see the person, as the person is to see them.

Bigfoot not only visits camp sites, but home sites as well. There are many documented cases where Bigfoot regularly or sporadically makes appearances close to houses near wooded areas. They've been known to tap or scratch on walls, or move things around, or steal pet food, or just walk through the yard. Some of these cases involve dogs barking and people looking out windows and seeing a huge man-like hairy creature standing in the yard or nearby treeline, while others are of a much more personal nature. The reports that truly get to me are the ones where someone will be in the house doing normal household things. They may hear something or just get a hankering to look out a window, and find themselves looking face to face into the eyes, mere inches away, of one of these creatures that had apparently been watching them for who knows how long. This truly gives me the creeps and would likely result in my funeral if it happened to me. However, oddly enough, according to the vast majority of reports.....Bigfoot tends to be curious but harmless. Yes, one may think, umm, they are throwing huge rocks at people and growling and that doesn't sound too friendly. You are correct. But if they truly wanted to harm or kill you, they easily could accomplish that without much effort at all. While there are some sporadic reports of seemingly violent encounters with these creatures, the overwhelming statistics indicate that they do not want to harm us, and instead just want us to get out of their area and are willing to scare us to accomplish that result.

While there are a growing number of academics looking more closely at this topic, the vast majority of so called mainstream scientists avoid the subject of Bigfoot and Sasquatch for fear of being regarded with disdain within the scientific community. They simply label it as a myth, and stick to safer things to discuss or research. Although dozens of new species of previously unknown mammals, birds, plants and insects are discovered every year, for some reason the 'official' scientific community refuses to acknowledge the loads of sightings, evidence, both actual and anecdotal that is uncovered on a regular basis. They most likely prefer to wait until the creature is proven to exist, then try to get their piece of the pie at that point.

Until that occurs, dedicated researchers will continue searching and gathering evidence and sighting reports. I look forward to the day when it's common knowledge that Bigfoot actually exists. That way we can finally conduct well funded research that most likely will result in them being placed in protected status by the federal wildlife agencies.

Thanks for your time. Be kind to each other.
