Mike Greene's Squeaky Bigfoot Video
First ever thermal image of what appears to be a Bigfoot. Mike Greene is a longtime researcher with excellent credentials and decades of experience. He formerly worked as a fraud investigator. He and his group had many Bigfoot encounters at night at this abandoned picnic area in a North Carolina forest. Finally he started enticing the Bigfoot with objects like squeaky duck toys and candy bars. It was a candy bar that lured it into the situation that resulted in the obtaining of this footage.
Greene is not one to hoax. Did he get hoaxed? Dubious.
The other question is whether or not this is just a man wandering around in the woods and hiding behind trees and whatnot. Why didn't he stop by and say hello to the group. Another point is that the forest is very thick here. A man wandering around without a flashlight would surely injure himself. There are comparison videos out showing this cryptid and comparing to a man who recreated the video. The man is much shorter and thinner than the cryptid.
I regard this as real Bigfoot footage, the first ever with a thermal camera.
This is just a highlight of the video. To see the whole thing, you have to go to his website and pay a couple of bucks. It's unfortunate that it's come down to this, but everyone has a right to make a buck. Problem is that once you start making money off Bigfoot stuff, your credibility obviously comes into question. But the temptation to make a buck off this stuff is probably too much for most to resist.

100% of Hardcore US Racists Vote Republican
If you go to White nationalist sites, you will be damned if you ever find even one Democrat on those boards. You will find some ex-Democrats. Nor will you even find one person who votes Democrat, except some now voting Obama for racist reasons*.
I've made the rounds of many of these sites. The truth is that 100% of US hardcore White racists vote Republican! Year in and year out. Are there any hardcore White racists in the US who vote Democrat? I do not think so. I've never met one, and I've never seen one anywhere on the Net.
The White racists are simply a subset of US Whites. On the White racist sites, they make it completely clear that the Republican Party is the party to vote for if you are White, and especially if you are a racist White.
In looking at how White racists in the US vote overwhelmingly Republican, we can begin to understand why US Whites vote so overwhelmingly Republican. I suggest that the hardcore racists and the rest of the Whites are voting Republican for some pretty similar reasons.
James Schipper in the comments points out that the Republican Party has hardly given US Whites a damned thing for their racist votes. At the very least, he argues, it could have come down hard on illegal immigration, reduced legal immigration and ended affirmative action.
Instead, the Republican Party is 100% Open Borders and can't get enough millions of legal immigrants to satisfy their needs. It's true that they have made some movements on affirmative action, and it's being outlawed by many states anyway. But private firms can still have diversity goals and whatnot, and that's apparently legal.
The Republican Party has been winking at White racism for decades now. In 1981, Reagan went to the site in the South where the bodies of the two murdered civil rights workers were found and spoke before a crowd of hollering, hooting White peckerwood crackers, saying that the Civil Rights Act of 1964 had been a horrible mistake. Bush's appointees to the Supreme Court apparently oppose civil rights, but little has come of that.
The Republicans, a plutocratic political party, have used the racist Whites in the same way they used the culture warriors, the Christian Right and the rest. Your average plutocrat is probably not very racist, not very religious and cares nothing about holy roller Christians.
Wealthy young women have abortions in very high numbers. The wealthy drink, use drugs, have promiscuous sex, have homosexual sex, and do all sorts of depraved things at a greater rate than the middle classes - they always have in most every society. At the same time, they cynically use the culture wars stuff to get the fools and suckers to vote for the plutocratic party.
Like the rich who supported the Nazis, they hope to use them for the ride and hopefully never implement any of the projects of the racists or holy rollers. When it finally gets to the point where the rich need to implement racist or holy roller policies in order to stay in power, things get awfully dicey. It's a dirty, dirty, dirty, dirty game the rich play.
*There is a fascinating movement within White nationalism called White Nationalists For Obama. The idea here is to "heighten the contradictions" in Marxist terms. Electing a Black president will be so horrible that it will "wake up the sleeping Whites" to the White racist cause.
The resulting tumult will be so great that a vast race war will break in the US. In the course of this race war, the Whites will win. The upshot will be either the removal of all non-Whites from the US, or their sequestration to a few states of their own.
I used to think that the race war thing was only a dream of the real hardcore White power types, but even if you go to the more moderate sites, you will find huge numbers of commenters who are all for race war in the US to "shake things out". I was appalled. I really don't think it's ever going to happen, but in analyzing White nationalism, we ought to conclude that many, perhaps most, of them long for a race war in the US.

The "Screw the South" Amendment
I knew that this amendment was the "equal protection under the law" amendment, but I never realized that this part of the overall "screw the South" Reconstruction thing, which I frankly think was a good idea. It's interesting that it led the way not only to Brown vs the Board of Education, Roe vs Wade, pro-privacy decisions, and all sorts of cool and progressive things.
Section 2 never got enforced too much, so we needed a Voting Rights Act. Section 1 has come back into the news, since it is this section that has permitted the mass insanity of tens of millions of "anchor babies" of illegal Mesoamerican immigrants.
Sections 3 and 4 are not relevant anymore, but they were clearly intended to screw the South bigtime. I never realized that Robert E. Lee had his citizenship revoked. This section is obviously the source of the conservative "giving aid and comfort to our enemies" bullshit during the Vietnam War.
Section 4 is of historical interest because the South claimed that the human property that they owned was capital and they said they needed to be compensated for it. Freeing their human property with paying the slavemasters off was a "taking". Yes, Americans actually had great big arguments about bullshit like this. Hard to believe, huh?
Neo-confederates, Republicans and other nefarious characters have advanced arguments against the 14th Amendment. One was that the Southern states only ratified as they were occupied by Northern troops with Northern-installed Reconstruction regimes in office, hence the votes were fraudulent.
Samuel Alito, a frighteningly reactionary man who was treacherously allowed onto our Supreme Court by wimpy Democrats, hates the 14th Amendment and has called for its repeal. The 14th Amendment is the boogieman of the Southern-dominated Federalist Movement that came out of the Reagan years.
On the more literate White nationalist sites, the Amendment comes in for regular excoriation. It's always been a voodoo doll for the neo-Confederates.
It's nice to understand why.
