Why is the federal government mum on Bigfoot.

no............not really............... at you maybe because you never provide in depth replies. ha ha

I would like to hear your opinions on the topic that I'm nurturing. You have some of the highest posting Stars and I'm sure that you can jump in and help some of these people figure out these topics. We are friends.............. right?

 

We sure are. Veteran BFF troopers. I'm thoroughly fascinated by the subject, but as a Plainsman, have had no personal experiences. Thus, I don't really have much of value to add.

I commented on your posting because in this day of the internet, it's generally understood that all caps posting denotes "shouting." 😉

Sasquatch is real. The U.S. Forest Service and other branches of government know it, and the reason they don’t openly acknowledge it has little to do with logging, despite what some people believe. The real reason for silence runs much deeper—and it would be profoundly destabilizing if the truth were admitted.

Why Logging Isn’t the Issue

Some argue that confirming Sasquatch would force vast tracts of forest to be shut down for conservation, crippling logging operations. That explanation is convenient, but it misses the bigger picture. In reality, logging protections would be a small policy change compared to the tectonic shock society would experience if we fully grasped what Sasquatch actually represents.

Beyond Human Understanding

These beings are not just another undiscovered primate. Witness accounts and field evidence suggest that Sasquatch possess abilities that challenge our most basic assumptions about physics, biology, and even consciousness. They seem able to evade detection far too effectively for their size, moving with speed and silence no known mammal can match. Some encounters describe shifts in perception, time distortions, and sudden feelings of disorientation—all phenomena that defy current science.

If verified, this would mean that Sasquatch has access to dimensions of reality we don’t yet understand. Imagine what it would do to:

• Physics: Our current models of matter, energy, and perception would have to be rewritten. The ripple effects on technology and weaponry would be enormous.

• Biology: Human beings would no longer sit comfortably atop the evolutionary narrative. Sasquatch would represent a parallel lineage with capabilities we can’t reproduce.

• Religion & Philosophy: Entire belief systems would be shaken. Proof of a being that interacts with the physical world in ways beyond comprehension would challenge everything from creation stories to our sense of what it means to be human.

The Detriment of Disclosure

Society depends on consensus reality—shared rules about how the world works. Admitting that a living species can bend or bypass those rules would destabilize public trust in science, government, and religion simultaneously.

• Scientific institutions would lose credibility overnight as the limits of their models were exposed.

• Religious communities would fracture between those who embrace Sasquatch as divine evidence and those who reject it as heresy.

• Governments would be inundated with panic, conspiracy, and demands for control of a phenomenon they themselves don’t fully understand.

• Markets would reel as people scrambled to exploit or weaponize knowledge of Sasquatch’s abilities.

The secrecy, then, isn’t about protecting loggers. It’s about protecting society from truths we may not be ready to process. Until our scientific and cultural frameworks evolve to handle the existence of such beings, silence is the safer path.

 

There is no other logical explanation. Anyone claiming its about logging is quite simply not ready to go as deep as this subject requires. 

What do you think the Federal Government response would be if it knew about a  American Indian tribe that had never signed treaties and continued to live in the wild? Separate from the rest of the modern world?

If they didn't harm others who passed through the area, I think the government would leave them alone, and keep their existence quiet.

The historical response was to eliminate them, yet tribes without treaties remain, with varying success.

What makes you think there would be a response?    The best way to deal with it is ignore it.   If it doesn't present an acute problem, why respond at all?    As JKH indicates, there are still a number of tribes that exist but are "undocumented".   A friend from grade school is elected chief of such a "tribe".   They recognize themselves and that's about the end of the story.

My Daddy grew up in the Louisiana bayou country during the Depression era. He told me that they would take a pirogue into the bayou to catch something to eat, and they would visit with people who lived out there. They spoke their own language, which was a mixture of French, Indian, Spanish, and English. They didn't come out of there. They were semi-feral.

 

We have individuals (not so much tribes) like that in Alaska today. They avoid humanity like the plague.

In the U.S., yes. Not so much in the Arctic, the Amazon Basin, or other such areas of the planet.

Have you heard about the Lidar studies in the Amazon?

Yes. I'm pretty sure they've only just scratched the surface with civilizational archaeology though most of the planet. In the Amazon, they're just beginning to find stuff.

👍That LiDAR tech is crazy!

Did you catch my post somewhere on the forum about the drone flying above my driveway? It was the electric coop flying a lidar drone, collecting pics on vegetation in the right-of-way and easements. I'm really glad I didn't shoot it down (the impulse to do so was strong.........I guess I'm addicted to wing shooting doves too much ). I followed it to the operator and talked to him. It was a very expensive looking drone, and bigger than my impression of it while it was flying.
