Here is a popular read I just got from the bff.

An Open Letter to Dr. Ketchum and Mr. Erickson

I had hoped for a day where mainstream science would take this subject seriously enough to investigate. But I had a fear that they wouldn't go near it and that your request for review would collect dust in the "in" box. This appears to be the case. I also suspected bias would arise because of the sheer amount of ridicule associated with the topic. I forecasted that journals would view association with the subject as a means to damage their credibility and reputation because of the stigma attached to the subject. It had always been the case, but still I had hoped that attitudes and perception would change. Evidently, and emphatically, it hasn't.

Because the study was forced to self-publish through its own journal, the credibility of the work has taken a damaging blow in the court of public opinion. The public at large truly believes that mainstream science has the integrity to examine work that lies outside of accepted paradigms so long as it is backed by sound science. There is an underlying trust in this veritable jury of peers that it is impartial and that there isn't such a thing as posturing and politics over subjects in the revered and respected institutes of science. And that is the case to a point but they fail to recognize that science can be internally manipulated by government, academia and corporations.

So now, because of this, I believe that the Sasquatch Genome Project and the Erickson Project are now in a war of perception and public opinion.

I can understand selling the paper to recoup costs and to bolster further research. But what I find perplexing and counterproductive is the need to guard and protect it. If you acknowledge that there is a wall between what you have produced and mainstream science, all that you are doing by guarding and protecting the work is to fortify that divide between you, mainstream science and the public.

We live in open source times. We live in a time where media is shared amongst us as a way to inform and influence. Now is not the time to stamp huge watermarks across screens to ensure proper accreditation and protection. It is not the time to threaten legal action so readily against those who would share. Now is the time for openness and transparency. This means providing documentation of the evidence revealing excessive bias. It means releasing all footage and pictures. The public needs to see what cards you hold. This doesn’t mean you give everything away for free.

What you have to protect and nurture is how you are perceived and your brand. You use consistent branding on all your content so that the public recognizes and accepts the source. If done right, people will be drawn to your content and any of the associated products you wish to offer. For instance, for the Erickson Project, I would create a YouTube and Vimeo channel with a branded logo on the corner of the screen for all the clips. You could release HD clips or long segments to draw in viewers. You have to make the content as irresistible and satisfying as possible for the viewer so that they will be drawn to your source of information and thus your brand. This includes supplementary material such as exclusive commentary, behind the scenes, updates and a blog etc. If there's illegal copying of your material, you let it go. It's free advertising for the brand. It gets disseminated organically. You then wait for a time when it has got a significant number of views and then cite copyright violation and inform YouTube. But during that period you must stay active with the content you provide to ensure that you are a valuable and trusted source for information. The same tact applies to the SGP. Provide content and information in a location that is open, accessible and attractive to the public. It is the way to win them over. And it is what’s needed right now more than anything because there is a major dividing line between the study and the currently accepted paradigm by mainstream science and the public. You must win the public over through engaging and valuable information.

The Sasquatch belong to no one. It is time to promote their story.

I hope this message finds you.

Thank you for your contribution to a field of inquiry that has captured our imagination and interest for so long.
 
^That one was gold.


New quote from Dr. Ketchum:

"I have independent analysis of our data going on. If the outcome of what we are doing supports our analysis, then we are vindicated. If not, then I will announce that also. It involves top level scientists that have volunteered after I released the paper. If their findings are the same, they will go public. So, please be patient. They also will assure upload to GenBank and they can make that happen." - Dr. Melba Ketchum

Sad? Still falling for the con, eh? unbelievable.
why is it sad? you mean you think she won't be able to go back to Brussels again this year...or do you mean it's sad that this is all Wally got for some 400,000 bucks?

What's sad is that she thought she could get away with this scam, and what's even more sad is that some people still believe in her.
 
Go away and leave me alone - i want to make up lies in peace!

so this is nothing new! no information of any value?
1. who are these "top Level " scientists?
2. what happens if their findings are not the same as yours?
3. If this is indeed going on - welcome to the world of Peer review!
4. any time frame other than soon?
5. please explain the lies and deceit with the 2 journals, the obtusification, and pre mediated cover story!
6. please explain the lie about GenBank not accepting unnamed seqence!

Good start. but the proofs in the pudding! you (Melba) have made numerous proclamations and statements in the past several years, virtually all have proven to be inaccurate or just blatent lies, so please excuse me for remaining skeptical, until you actually produce the results from these "top Level" scientists

and just so we are clear, given these unamed experts (BTW most experts in their fields prefer to be named, their name is their brand of assured quality, they worked long and hard to aquire "expert" status, why would they not want to be identified as a "top Expert"!) anyway, since they already have the data in their hands - this actually should really be "weeks" instead of months, correct?

Robin, i request rapid delivery of this message please! thankyou!

You'd have to be stupendously daft to think you could get away with this sillyness. But then, think about the folks over at BFF, read what they post and are still posting in regards to Ketchup's "paper." In the face of all this credulity, one might just believe one could get away with anything. Even as I type this there are living, breathing human beings who have access to computers, the internet, and with the ability to type who still think Melba has something to offer to science in general and primate biology in particular. This vacuity is breathtaking.

We know some will just keep going with belief, it's a religion after all for all practical purposes.

Here is a tidbit I have been thinking, if this is a scam and money has been changing hands, and lots of it from what we have read in the many years this has been going on, why no law suits at all, if people really did put large sums of money into this would they not be looking to get it back, I might be behind the eight ball here but **** just don't add up with this entire hoax at all.

Tim :)
 
Wally lost $500,000 by all accounts, for something that should have only cost $65,000 at the most, what is he going to sue her for? It could have ended either way and she still technically fullfilled her obligation.

I think it's sad that she made it look so cheesey, and that some people actually think this is a legitimate journal.

I expected something more like this:

The BFF has a poll on the Ketchum hoax and this response from Brian Brown:

"That said, it's a joke."

Absolutely priceless.
 
Yeah, I love how the bigfoot attention seekers tend to bash each other without ever looking in a mirror.

With this hoax busted someone will need to fill the void. Of course we do have Meldrum's flying dumbo project, and Rick Dyer's film promotion, but nothing fun and exciting.
 
I want to know why no one tried to grab the breathing purple shag rug footie?
 
Bipto sent hair for analysis? I thought they sent in blood from the shooting incident and were scammed by those nasty scientists at the lab!
 
He said he sent in hair, it's been awhile so the results ought to be back. This will be the second time, the first time they were ripped off, so he said.
