Pathological liars aren't generally bad people (any more so than anyone else), they literally cannot help themselves. (just like pedophiles and rapists and kleptomaniacs and sociopaths and psychopaths and others of that ilk) There is literally something broken in them.<br /><br />Depending on the severity of the syndrome, they can control it to a degree. (like the others) But they also tend to actually believe their own lies. And will convince themselves that they aren't hurting anyone. It's a "victimless crime", so what's the harm, right? (PathoLiars reading that sentence are nodding their heads in agreement, literally or inwardly)<br /><br />And they tend to be very good at what they do. Even when they are caught, they will hold onto their story like a pit bull on a bone. They also tend to be fairly intelligent, so they are good at weaving their lies, and telling more lies to bolster others, and they tend to be (good) manipulators and such. (so they can make very good conmen and scammers)<br /><br />And they don't (necessarily) tell their lies to make money, or for acclaim, etc. They simply do it because they MUST. It is who and what they are at a fundamental level.<br /><br />Like most psychological issues, it is fascinating.<br /><br />I think it is very clear that that is what is happening here. (don't get me wrong -- I've a "believer" -- but that doesn't mean I can't smell bullshit when it's flung in my direction -- and I've had WAY too much experience with PathoLiars -- more than my fair share)Popperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08456303488174365321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3882799545813392401.post-38318833630664349862013-12-27T15:07:05.027-05:002013-12-27T15:07:05.027-05:00I was face to face (within 35 feet ) of an adult m...I was face to face (within 35 feet ) of an adult male Bigfoot in Nov. 1999. I was hunting, armed with a .308 & a .45 and if I had fired, I would have just made it mad. People need to realize, these creatures #1 are not apes, & #2 are Massive. I think Smeja is in the same category as Rick Dyer. Pigs & liars. They should both have female sex pheromones rubbed on them then dropped into an area with a group of adult male Bigfoot.

The Ballistic advantage of the 25-06 over the .30-06 happens out past 300 yards...its a much flatter shooting bullet at those ranges than a .30-06. but within 200 yards, their really isnt much difference you'd see between a .25 caliber bullet and a .30 caliber bullet. One of the most effective cartridges in the world for moose and bear is the 6.5 x 55 Swedish cartridges, which is a .260 caliber..That is actually the beauty of a .25-06,,,very popular in the west for Mule deer hunting because it can be a highly effective medium range and an excellant long range cartridge. The high velocity of this round makes it a swift killer just like the .270 winchester (.277caliber) and the .280 Rem (.284 caliber). I'd have to say I've never seen basketball sized exit wounds. Ever. Exit wounds I've seen from .270, .280, 6.5, and .257 Roberts (the cartridge that was really spurred the .25-06 wildcat on a .30-06 case), all cartridges I use and load for are max 2 to 5 times the diameter of the bullet..depending on what the bullet hits as it passes through. If it hits bone and begins to spin, it can exit in a Keyhole manner, (sideways)....but hunting bullets are designed NOT to exit the animal and maintain their mass inside where it will do the most effective damage.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3882799545813392401.post-50264943805516544922013-07-21T03:05:50.128-04:002013-07-21T03:05:50.128-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09822923883457315324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3882799545813392401.post-2219711316742919462013-06-11T08:15:14.151-04:002013-06-11T08:15:14.151-04:00I watched Monsters in America.

He was lead all ...I watched the orginal interview. He was lead all the way! Summing up what I was seeing and hearing, I got the feeling that the interviewer told Justin his idea of the interview and Justin would have said (keep the beer coming and I'll say whatever you want man). When Justin didn't say something right the interviewer would say (you mean blah blah blah blah?) and Justin would change his orginal statement to what the interviewer said/wanted. You can tell he doesn't have any respect for life or nature in anyway shape or form! I mean first he says its a bear, then it didn't belong, or it's a man in a suit..wasn't right..didn't have the right to live blah blah BS BS BS out of his mouth..if he thinks any of those statements justified his actions he is sadly mistaken. He also said as soon as he got home he started looking up Bigfoot, going to different blogs and asking questions. He sought out a certain person, I think you all know who that was.. It just feels like a set up/fraud/hoax to me. His story doesn't add up. If they all wouldn't have been friends prior to his STORY...then I might had been concerned he really killed a BF/SAS/Forest Person...but I just don't buy it. <br /><br /> I don't buy his story he tells about Dr. Ketchum, don't buy anything that comes out of his mouth...If he did shoot the adult under the arm as it was turning (depending on the direction it was turning, he would have hit the lungs or heart and the BF would have dropped fast)..which contradicts what he said orginally..<br /><br />Originally he said it/BF saw him, it started waiving it's arms in the air and running towards him. (now with his orginal thinking..man in a suit, a bear etc etc..why didn't the arms waiving in the air stop him from shooting?) He didn't say it turned and he had to shoot it under the arm. <br /><br />Then...How crazy to say he didn't know anything about Bigfoot, never heard of it before. Then a few mins. later he said the only thing he knew about bigfoot was the movie "Harry and the Henderson's". Which is it?? Did he hear of bigfoot or not? He did, but probably didn't believe it was true. He may of seen one or thought he did. He may of shot at one..but I don't believe he killed it. If he did, he would have known the value..his friends are big into the Bigfoot scene on YouTube...may it be interviews, outing hoaxes, or posting pics of nonBF pics and knowning they aren't BF but claiming it could be...he knew what a BF was and the value it would hold. <br /><br />One of the things that bother me the most is the distance that I have a hard time with that he shot from. He shot from the road...he couldn't identify for sure what he was shooting at..and the ammo and gun he used was supposed to kill a 500lb or more human, bear or Sas? I don't think so. <br /><br />The accounts of the BF in the Boogie Creek movie (which was more of a documentry) was shot 3 times total, before it became vengeful. He/BF may have disappeared between shots..I'm sure to hide from the firestick..and to heal..but nope..I don't believe Justin's story at all!<br /><br />I will say BF/SAS/the forest people better hide well from Justin and his friends now..but now I believe if they have a chance of shooting one they will to make up for the made up story.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04982767733412100679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3882799545813392401.post-40927772941113037102013-05-11T17:33:53.814-04:002013-05-11T17:33:53.814-04:00Justin Smeja is a pathetic PIG I saw the interview...Justin Smeja is a pathetic PIG I saw the interview on "Monsters in America" I have to agree with you Scott.

This area has had numerous reportings/sightings throughout the years. In fact, the local native tribes in the area came up with the name "Sasquatch" meaning "wild man"(their actual spelling is a little different, but pronounced similar.) I have been involved with the outdoors here my whole life. I have spent quite a bit of time camping and hiking in the deep alpine of the local Cascade mountains. I never saw this creature/person, but I'm pretty sure it was the one making a ton of "bashing" noise while throwing debris down a cliff in order to scare us away from catching the trout in this small pond we were fishing in, but that's all it did! Me and the other camper looked at each other, and we new it was time to go back to camp. It didn't come down, chase us, and eat us alive! We stayed at camp, with our group, the rest of the weekend, no problems. I think TV makes them out to be some kind of monster that's looking to harm. I think that's totally false. If they were two feet tall, people would just laugh at them and try to make them their pet, breed them, and train it to jump through hoops and dance, so its clearly just their size that makes them scary. I have talked to a few others who have had encounters with them, but I have never heard of anyone being harmed in any way by one. They seem to be more curious than anything. If I saw one in the wild, I would be scared/curious, but I wouldn't want to shoot the thing. I f these guys are telling the truth, I feel sorry for them. I hope that the story is bogus altogether.

There is so much evidence with tracks, videos and hair and feces samples with DNA to come out this year but our science always wants a body. If the killing is real, what then?

I also think they recovered a body and it will come out AFTER the DNS analysis. But guys, we need a body. If there is no body then there is no specie. Catch one or shoot it or dig one out to provide proof and thats it. That is what it all comes down to. Thus, don’t get over sensitive only bcs one BF apparently got shot.

So many times,,I've heard or read "we'll it had to be done for science" or etc. In a way I hate to say this,,but in the end hopefully it was a hoax. If BF is going to be formally introduced to the works as fact and no longer a mystery,,IMO it should be introduced by devoted researchers like Scott and so many others,,who spend countless days and nites and miles in the wilds to learn the truth. Not someone who in his own words described himself as a road hunter,,aka poacher. It's kids like this that give real hunters a bad name. Where I live,,road hunting/poaching is Illegal. Period. You get caught,,,you'd be better off selling drugs. The penalties are huge. This story got shadey to me in the beginning. They were driving around. They were BEAR hunting. Later on they seen a small BUCK but they let him go. Hhhmmm. Bear and deer season fall into same timeframe there? I'm not sure. And my largest problem personally(besides the total act of cowardess shown by this boy shooting in his own words a thing walking towards him with its arms and hands extended up,,moving them,,as he tactfully put it "like a universal sign of surrender",,btw all this is what I recall from the first interview I heard,,witch has been a good while back,,don't know if this has changed) is when his buddy and him was looking at this,,and the thought occurred to him that if this is a guy in a suit,,,then we got a real problem". Is it just me or is this bunk? In so many encounters of BF with hunters,,,when BF is sighted,,,the first thought is shock,,second is I can't shoot this creature,,it looks too human in the face. Sometimes in a encounter witnesses state they were terrified but did not dare shoot because they considered the caliber of rifle with them no match for the BF. This whole deal is a tragedy that should've never happened. Hopefully Karma will do what it does best. Rob Shawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05711671606718300348noreply@blogger.com
