Hiflier: Do a web search for,"Presidential Memo of March 9, 2009". Then spend a few months - like I did - finding what each department of government - and ANY ENTITY receiving a dime of federal funding - had to abide by before their department's required responses to that memo were accepted. That memo is very pertinent to the fact that Dr. K was so d so viciously attacked by other scientists. That memo apparently had something to do with all those DNA tests done by Dr.S that showed typical wild animals - even the "bipolar bear" which could have been quickly identified under and optical microscope - when he met with the feds at the F&W lab in Oregon. (The memo itself contains nothing; it appears to be a benign directive.) Its what the departments were obligated to do before their responses were accepted that are the kickers. That obligation was basically that no scientist would do anything to distract the people's attention away from the Prez that issued the memo. Remember, it will take a long time to find and read all the department's accepted responses, and remember the date of that memo in relation to Dr. K's work. Folks may think this post is balderdash because they don't believe our government would do such things. If and when they are 84, they will consider this a minor example of the government's devious actions in subjecting the public to the mushroom treatment.

Me too Inc1 so I can only hope the message gets through anyway Branco, I have read that directive several times back when you first brought it up and created the tread for discussing it. And you are correct, on the surface it looks pretty benign and without teeth but, if I'm correct, it basically states that decisions along scientific lines made by the President (I assume through the Presidential Science and Technology arm) that everything must go through certain hoops to be accepted by science with the final decisions on the direction science take mandated by the President. Essentially, it is a directive that instructs ALL scientific endeavors to adhere to the directive by making sure no one deviates from the directive. Yeah I know, it sounds circular but then that's what it's supposed to be: not leave an out for pursuits that the President deems would upset apple carts- like for instance the Sasquatch Genome Project if I read your post correctly. And yes, the date and timing of the memo is an interesting curiosity WRT Dr. K's work.........and results. I think it good to remember the most pertinent aspect of the whole thing: it is that Dr. Melba Ketchum, in the middle of the Project, would suddenly have to adhere to the directive which BY MANDATE would completely change what she would be allowed to present to the public.......but she did the paper and presented it to the public ANYWAY. So what does that say about her convictions regarding the results that came in from the 12 independent labs? Labs that were also suddenly affected by the directive as well to include any scientist who might support the findings. I think it safe to say that anyone and everyone would have no choice but to cut her loose as a rogue under the memo's wording. Do I have this about right?

I've gotta fix my account. It only posts in black.

Really? And of course -- if true -- that couldn't all just mean she was indifferent to recordkeeping when it came to finances, but a good practitioner of her craft? I'm very meticulous in my work, but you wouldn't expect that if you saw how messy my house was. I'm not good at keeping my accounts, either. You're making a lot of assumptions (and you're not the only one who does that). You're assigning motives to her that you're in no position to know.

The big fellow is running circles around us. This is fine with me since BF is possibly totally content without us and will remain healthy regardless of how much we spray and cut up the forest. It's kind of like not being invited to a party. It's BF's party and the guests are the birds, squirrels, and frogs but humans are not invited. We may have to accept the fact that BF is way smarter than us and is able to detect humans long before we detect BF. I've sometimes wondered if BF carefully selects those who get to see it. Is BF the original environmentalist that could lead human kind away from our destructive manner? Lots of questions out there.

Not the Jeep with a snorkel, but a typical city Jeep that has never left the pavement... check out the "fun color", safari roof rack, aerodynamic wing on the roof, killer winch half-ass bolted onto the bumper and color matching, decorative 2" tube "roll-cage". It's all "style-n-profile" around here. Also notice, no woman... shoot, nobody with him. He's giving me the "Jeep wave".
