Agreed. My point is that funding from the Science/industrial complex for sasquatchery doesn't exist. Funding essentially began with Tom Slick in 1956 and has remained at the same intensity and general origin ever since. Yes, individual maverick scientists have always been involved, in Russia before here, since the early-mid 20th Century, but at the industrial level, it is actually actively discouraged, and clearly ignored widely.
This situation is clearly government in origin. When Eisenhower warned about the military/industrial complex, you'd better understand that includes Science in a HUGE way. As a career Army engineer, I'm here to tell you that military/science/engineering is in a forced marriage, and they live together in a very well funded mansion. The appendages of science that get the least attention from those guys get the least amount of the Big Money, and you'd better believe that most of that is intentional.
