I'm not a conspiracy/government cover-up type of person, but let's discuss the following hypothetical scenario.

Let's go on the premise that Sasquatch is actually a living, breathing entity in the woods of north America. Would the government have a reason to try and keep that news from getting out? Be it national security reasons or economic reasons or something else? Is it in our collective "best interest" that this topic needs to remain on the fringe of society relegated to internet forums.

I can already envision many posting "but it doesn't exist, so it's a moot point", I get it. But, for the sake of entertainment, let's go with it as a hypothetical.

A bigfoot would have nothing to do with national security. How could it? And it might cause an increase in the local economy. So no. No reason to cover it up, every reason to promote it

NL, You hopefully realize that the premise you're asking people to accept is extremely unreasonable not to mention, make believe. Replace the word "sasquatch" each time youve used it with the word "faerie" or if you dislike that one "mermaid" and see how it looks to you now.

That said, "if" there was such a discovery made here, it would most likely mean a lot of money and fame involved for the person that did so. Not to mention the scientific implications. All of that said, we both know why there is no significant (any?) interest in the bigfoot field concerning real scientist™.

The rewards would be there, but still there is no real hunt going on... hmmm almost as if it's a made up entity, a social construct much like vampires, mermaids or faeries.

There would be no reason to hide any of those above mentioned entities were they to be real. In fact, it would be profitable to promote them as being from here as they would likely be studied by scientists all over the world. The excuse tree is huge in a bigfooters world though...
 
The excuse that garners kudos at the BFF is that the government is in bed with big business and finding bigfoot in the woods would shut down logging.:rolleyes:
 
Wait. I thought the government was covering up bigfoot because of the religious civil war that would happen if another intelligent being was discovered.

Of course the Beckjord/Burgstahler conspiracy was that the Bigfoot possessed extra dimensional travel capabilities, AND invisibility. So they were trying to study them for their evil purposes.
 
It's amazing that such sentiment persists with so much evidence (e.g., Northern Spotted Owl) to the contrary, not the least of which is that the putative existence of bigfoots today clearly indicates that "logging" is not a problem for them.

Some come here and wonder why "BLAARGing" has gained such traction among us as an explanation for much of modern bigfootery. In examples like the so-called government conspiracy to keep bigfoot quiet, it's simply more likely that people are pretending to believe such things than that people really are so stupid as to believe them.
 
NL, if we " go on the premise that Sasquatch is actually a living, breathing entity in the woods of north America", then how do you explain the fact that this creature has evaded confirmation? How does this creature manage to leave no physical evidence behind? Where is the skat? The corpses? Where is the fossil record? Where are the native relics? Where are the clear photos and clear video? Why no trail cam shots despite on going presence by scientific teams in places the Cascades?

Perhaps if you answer all of those questions that simply granting your premise puts front and center, then maybe we can get around to the more fanciful nonsense involving government conspiracies.

Deal?

^I actually don't mind the premise. It's the main thing that's actually fun (to me) about bigfoot discussions. If there's bigfoot then . . . x, y, and z. Those discussions always lead to the same place, of course: the x, y, and z are so ridiculous that they illustrate the impossibility of the premise.

Bigfoot Isn’t Just a Mythic Figure, He’s an Investment Opportunity

Startups are famous for setting big, hairy goals. Carmine “Tom” Biscardi wants to catch Sasquatch—and is planning an initial public offering to fund the hunt.

Mr. Biscardi and his partners hope to raise as much as $3 million by selling stock in Bigfoot Project Investments. They plan to spend the money making movies and selling DVDs, but are also budgeting $113,805 a year for expeditions to find the beast. Among the company’s goals, according to its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission: “capture the creature known as Bigfoot.”

Thanks for posting that. It's good to see Biscardi back in the Bigfoot limelight. He knows how to get the best press like no other Bigfooter can.

When Biscardi is in the Wall Street Journal you know that Bigfootery is back on track.
 
Standing only wanted $900,000 for his project on Kickstarter - he had $157 last time I looked.

I still think the way to go is a Bigfoot based multi-level-marketing scheme. I just have a feeling that Bigfoot believers tend to fall for that kind of thing at a much higher rate than the average joe.

I think it's interesting (and informative about Biscardi's intent) that, assuming they stick to this budget for, say, the next ten years, they'll have spent around twice as much on producing movies and DVDs for sale (presumably at a profit) as they'll have spent on finding the thing the movies and DVDs are about. I'm kind of new to this whole Bigfoot topic; is this their usual "research" model?
