SASQUATCH! Reports From the Field: Encounters Across North America


Gary Swanson - 2019
    Reclusive as these animals are, they do resemble humans in several ways; their appearance is “humanoid” and there is evidence they have family units and a hierarchy of command not unlike humans. They ask nothing from us, and they infrequently take anything from man! This volume of Sasquatch sightings and encounters span North America; from British Columbia, to our Eastern and Southern states; Pennsylvania, Maine and North Carolina, and then to the western part of the United States; including Colorado, Montana, Idaho, Oregon, Northern California and Washington state. Our friends at The Sasquatch Outpost in Bailey, Colorado are featured in this book because not only have they brought us contributors of Colorado Bigfoot sightings, they have been dedicated to researching the Sasquatch and preserving evidence of Bigfoot. Their museum, “The Sasquatch Encounter Discovery Museum” provides a great learning tool for those who have never had a Sasquatch experience or would just like to learn more. Our many thanks to Jim and Daphne Myers at The Sasquatch Outpost for their support and their dedication to protecting North America’s endangered indigenous species of Bigfoot! Since these mysterious beings have convinced vast numbers of us of their existence, and also of their desire to live peaceably, we have the same goal. Thank you for your courtesy in observing and enjoying the realization that there are some things that man has not yet destroyed! We have taken great care to guarantee the privacy of every submitter, and due to having proven our confidentiality, more stories have arrived and are in this fifth volume; “SASQUATCH! Reports from the Field.” We try to do verification of the stories we accept, and although we cannot guarantee the validity of any submissions, we use due diligence to interview those whose story seems to be outside what the majority have established as the “norm;” if there could be one. Although our personal experiences with Bigfoot are limited to only a few instances, as we are always accompanied by two curious and noisy dogs; we have interviewed enough people from all walks of life, many with highly respected credentials that we must believe that Sasquatch lives!

Triumph and Demise: The broken promise of a Labor generation


Paul Kelly - 2014
    It is the inside account of the hopes, achievements and bitter failures of the Labor Government from 2007 to 2013. Kevin Rudd and Julia Gillard came together to defeat John Howard, formed a brilliant partnership and raised the hopes of the nation. Yet they fell into tension and then hostility under the pressures of politics and policy. Veteran journalist Paul Kelly probes the dynamics of the Rudd–Gillard partnership and dissects what tore them apart. He tells the full story of Julia Gillard’s tragedy as our first female prime minister - her character, Rudd’s destabilisation, the carbon tax saga and how Gillard was finally pulled down on the eve of the 2013 election. Kelly documents the most misunderstood event in these years - the rise of Tony Abbott and the reason for his success. It was Abbott’s performance that denied Rudd and Gillard the chance to recover. Labor misjudged Abbott and paid the price. Kelly writes with a keen eye and fearless determination. His central theme is that Australian politics has entered a crisis of the system that, unless corrected, will diminish the lives of all Australians.

The Game: A Portrait of Scott Morrison


Sean Kelly - 2021
    In a time of uncertainty, the country chose in 2019 to turn to a man with no obvious beliefs, no clear purpose and no famous talents. That we wanted Scott Morrison was the secret we did not know about ourselves. What precisely that secret is forms the subject of this book.In The Game, Sean Kelly gives us a portrait of a man, the shallow political culture that allowed him to succeed and the country that crowned him.Morrison understands – in a way that no other recent politician has – how politics has become a game. He also understands something essential about Australia – something many of us are unwilling to admit, even to ourselves.But there are things Scott Morrison does not understand. This is the story of those failures, too – and the way that, as his prime ministership continues, Morrison’s failure to think about politics as anything other than a game has become a dangerous liability, both to him and to us. ‘An engrossing, illuminating and often disquieting study of Scott Morrison. Sean Kelly’s forensic analysis of the man he describes as the “symbolic perfection of a certain version of Australia ” compels us all to consider our complicity in his creation.’—Niki Savva‘It’s been almost impossible to get a handle on Scott Morrison. Until now. Sean Kelly has done it, comprehensively.’ —Barrie Cassidy‘Sean Kelly exposes Morrison with wit and righteous precision. After reading this insightful, funny and absolutely maddening dissection of the man, I can now clearly see him for what he is.’ —Tom Ballard
