    “what are they?”

    They are a species of man. There were once many different species. Dr. Meldrum believed they are a species of australopithocene (sic) because their footprints left in volcanic ash a few million years ago look like modern sasquatch prints, which are much different than ours.

    As far as the flood being limited, like some other false traditions it’s hard to break tradition no matter how many scholars or laypeople point out the obvious. There were unbroken civilizations that existed well before and after the time of the biblical flood.

    I copied this from a website:

    “The worldwide flood in Genesis is so much part of our Church tradition that it’s hard to accept that the Bible may actually say something different. . . .

    In Genesis 6, where the story of the flood is told, the word eretz could mean ‘planet’ or ‘earth’, but more often means ‘land’ or ‘country’ – such as the “land of Havilah” near Eden in Genesis 2:11. Similarly, the word for ‘mountain’ (har) is also used for ‘hill’ – such as the hill that David stood on to address his men in 1 Samuel 26:13. So the text is ambiguous: it says either that the waters covered all the mountains of the planet or earth, or all the hills of the land or country.

    If the flood was local, the ‘land’ would be Mesopotamia, which covered 140,000 square miles of the Tigris and Euphrates delta up to the Ararat mountains in the north. If this low-lying land had a flood 45ft higher than all of its hills (as described in Genesis), it would kill the entire civilisation. And there is evidence for this happening. Ancient Assyrian histories list their earliest kings as reigning “before the flood”, and archaeologists in the 1930s unearthed evidence of flooding in this region dated to about 3,000 BC, though detailed studies remain to be done.”

    Steven B, here is another video, that like the bear attack you posted, is exactly 10 seconds long, and it is AI.

    https://x.com/i/status/2012164426388881746

    These AI video generation sites have set times in seconds for the user to choose from, like 4, 6, 8, or 10 seconds. 10 seconds is usually the maximum allowed per clip. Now, you can string clips together to make a longer video, but they have a set limit per clip. And these videos lasting exactly 10 seconds are AI generated.

    my guess is the bear attacking the dog is AI generated due to the length of the video (10 seconds) which is around the max for an AI clip, and by how the camera smoothly pans. Plus she seems to move oddly and the whines from the dog sound canned.

    It looks like something someone would prompt an AI to make.

    Archeologists uncovered what is believed to be one of the settlements the Hebrews built during their nomadic wanderings, and the structures were only around 5 feet tall, suggesting they were really short people, and when the 12 spies went into the land of Cannan and reported back, they evidently came across people who were a good bit taller than they were, but that doesn’t mean they were monster sized giants by our standards, but that they were probably more normal to above average by our modern day standards.

    It’s like I’ve noticed how Guatemalans always seem really short, and just now doing a search online the average height of a female is 4’10.8″, that’s under 1 1/4 meters for those of you on the metric system.

    I just caution about reading too much into the purveyors of giant mythology $

    If it is for trying to record activity while you are camping, buy a parabolic microphone that can pick up sounds at a distance, and use a splitter so that you can jack into it with both headphones and a recording device. Just get a recorder that has an input jack, like you could plug a microphone into and hit record if you find something on the head phones.

    I’ve done this exact setup. I found a small handheld recorder I can jack the parabolic microphone into.

    If you want to set up a recorder and return later and see if something is on it, and think you would use something different, but what I just recommended is for camping in bigfoot areas and trying to record them if they come around, like you hear them, or they are throwing stuff toward your camp.

    The next woke DEI Star Trek installment has arrived, “Starfleet Academy,” in a future where white males are almost extinct, set in San Francisco, of course, where the starship “Athena” is based.

    “I am asking for feedback to see if you believe the giants are the ancestors of our topic and genre, ye ole’ Bigfoot”

    As I’ve commented a number of times here over the years, I really don’t see how anyone can make the leap of Nephilim in the Bible being sasquatches. In the Genesis 6 account they were leaders of the community, which I don’t see bigfoot presiding over towns of people.

    As far as the Nephilim mentioned in Canaan, that’s a whole different geographical area separated by a couple of thousand years and it’s a different group of people.

    “I have thought, oh the flood didnt get them all but Im pretty sure the Bible says, everything not on the Ark croaked, to-wit:”

    The biblical flood was not worldwide; it was local. In Genesis when it says the whole earth was flooded, the Hebrew word translated “earth” is “eretz” which is more commonly translated “land,” as in a geographical area (limited) and it is translated that way over 1,400 times in the Old Testament. It’s a great exception to translate that word as “earth” (the whole planet) which is done through interpretive bias, (tradition) assuming everything was under water. The Israeli publication “Haeretz” translates as “The Land,” as in the land of Israel.

    And the Ark did not rest on Mt. Ararat. The passage says mountains (plural) of Ararat. That mountain range peters out into rolling hills in the Euphrates River basin. The Hebrew word “har” can be translated as mountain or hill. There is evidence of a massive flood in the Euphrates basin that wiped out towns, with as much as 11 feet of fresh water laid sediment with different civilizations above and below. There was a huge flood there.

    The book of Enoch is not in most Christian cannons but it describes the flood as local. It was a huge area, but not the entire planet. That idea is bad tradition from erroneous interpretation of scripture.

    The Trump administration is investigating Rep. Ilhan Omar for alleged immigration fraud including she married her own brother to gain U.S. citizenship.

    Yes, the DOJ under Biden would be arresting people in 5am raids, which brings us to the current Attorney General whose lack of action on all the lawfare, among other things, has people wondering if there’s a problem with her like so many compromised people during Trump’s first term.

    But I think her problem might lie with the Justice Department she leads that was compromised under Obama, something Trump didn’t correct during his first term, that they are still highly compromised, and something I feared for Trump’s second term is it would be like his first term where Justice (FBI) and all are still tainted, and Trump has not corrected it.

    I’m disheartened by the FBI agent just selected to be deputy director after Bongeno left. Trump has disappointed me in bringing back so many from his first administration, and even almost brought back Mike Pompeo into a cabinet position had not Tucker Carlson had a sit down with Trump about Pompeo.

    Pompeo was deep state feeding damaging info to Dem. Adam Schiff to undermine the Trump adminstration.

    Drudge Report Headline reads, “SHOCK VIDEO: ICE TERRORIZES ANOTHER WOMAN.”

    She was using her car to block ICE agents. They kept telling her to move. She locked her doors and didn’t move, and so they arrested her.

    Yep, you and Trump, Wolf. Yesterday he told an auto worker “F___ you” twice and flipped him off twice. Something U.S. presidents don’t normally do but he’s unphased by how he’s supposed to conform.

    But of course the mainstream media all conform to TDS. Here is CBS News referring to the “murder” of Renee Good by an ICE Agent in Minneapolis.

    Notice on the News video the reported said, “Trump administration officials claim she intended to ram ICE agents before she was shot.”

    She did run into the agent. “Intended” sounds more like she was thinking about it. That’s how you couch your words to spin a narrative. There have lots of false statements by politicians/liberals, like she was headed home, she was on her way to pick up her child, her car had gotten stuck on the ice, they were being harassed by ICE agents, etc.

    The woke left is now saying they can no longer use the phrase, “Say her name” in reference to Renee Good who was shot and killed by an ICE officer in Minneapolis because being white she’s not worthy of that phrase. So, even in death there’s an asterisk beside the next liberal icon.

    Liberals Have Decided That Renee Good is No Longer Worthy of ‘Say Her Name’

    interesting video Wolf. I’m glad to hear the Greenlanders want to talk to the U.S. separate from discussions with Denmark. I’m out of the loop on some of those policies Trump is attempting to implement. He’s the right man for the office.

    Trump is a hard one for most people to figure out because he doesn’t think like most people because he has an eccentric personality, leading to his abnormal behavior. That’s not a disorder, it’s a personality type often linked to creativity or geniuses. Einstein, among some other noted geniuses, had eccentric personalities. Those people can exhibit unique thoughts and quirky behaviors outside the norm since they can be indifferent to the peer pressure or societal norms that keeps most people’s behavior in check.

    “Eccentric people tend to be original thinkers with a strong sense of self and less social anxiety.
    Eccentric people stand out because they’re more authentic and less interested in conforming to social norms.
    Signs you’re eccentric include shrugging off expectations, defying peer pressure, and attracting haters.”

    Trump has attracted haters in the past within the Republican Party because he walks on the outside and doesn’t tow their same line. But this term the Party has conformed more toward him, to where he really is the pulse, or beating heart of the GOP. This change to the GOP has been termed “Trump’s revolution,” probably a spin on the term “Reagan Revolution.”
