Memory is fuzzy but I think the last two winters I didn’t have flu shoots and for the first time in years didn’t get the flu.


I had to see my doctor a month ago and again yesterday. At the first appointment he was so hoarse he could only speak a strained wisper but he still had to ask me if I wanted a flu shot. Wasted his precious breath there. I didn't want to strain him further so I didn't ask him if he'd heard that the CDC had to admit that the flu shots were useless this year because well, they are always useless. Always wrong strains. The only way they know which flu strain is going to break out is if they spread it in the first place.

People that get shots are the ones getting and spreading the flu. Some die.
Big Pharma is gaming biological warfare against us and flu shots are just one part.
Fuzzy memory? You bet. That's just the results you would expect from injecting toxins/heavy metals and other crap into your blood.

Back to the Doc, yesterday he had the sniffles but could talk. He's pushing for diuretics added to my blood pressure medication. I resisted again for 3 reasons starting with losing potassium. He ended up explaining his two degrees in biology and why American's diet was so good that supplements weren't necessary. Linus Palling got two Nobel prizes for it but big doses of vitamin C was useless for everything big pharma says it is. Sniffle sniffle..

Fluoride, MSG, high fructose corn syrup, food dyes.. chem trails... oops,.. probably gone too far..
Programmed brains are starting to explode.
Conspiracy theorist..

No fly list for you!

Thorny topic

That sounds like a pretty thorny topic. It might not be the best one to start with. But when we get enough Board members together, you're welcome to propose it.

In anticipation of that, can you give us an outline of what happened and how you might like the US Hawks to help fix the situation? For the sake of the discussion - which is somewhat academic - you can assume that we have all the powers that USHPA has (can pull ratings, expel members, etc).

Thanks.

Also, please let me know if you'd like to be on the Trial Board of Directors that we're starting. Just post your interest to that topic.

Thanks again.



I'll have to think about the Trial Board.. but maybe Blindrodie should be expelled. For violating the 'good character' clause, like in the good ol' U$hPA bylaws..
I don't have access to that at present or I would post it. Also, maybe Hang 3 Rodie should be demoted back to Hang 2.. and I think U$hPA does that already for lack of paying due$, right?

The really short story about the failure of Adventure Airsports LLC is that the corporation roughshod screwed the best Partner in the group and then lied to cover their tracks. They even got Mark Forbes in on the act and he lied about it too. Gave Rodie unwarranted credibility on a list that I was censored from responding. Who would have guessed that?
It was kinda like being beaten by a band of thugs and then Mark Forbes comes along and starts kicking the victim.

Actually, the whole story was narrated in real time on the old hang gliding lists, centered around 2002.
My whole life was pretty messed up around then. Unjustly fired from my job of 31 years and then being put on a no-fly list by the guy that stole the "Flight Park" to boot..

I've started mining the old list data and it's not that enjoyable.
But I will persist, and again, all parties involved are invited to participate.
What about you Len and Doug? Hawks member Rodie? Where ya at boy?
Help us out here with the question I asked Jeff, from St Louis?

What have you been telling people for almost 13 years about my partnership and the failure of now defunct, AAS LLC flight park?

I sincerely hope you will. It's not a life-time commitment, and you can drop out any time. The goal is to just see how we can work together to make good, fair decisions for our members and our sport.

Michael Moore is Right

Michael Moore is Right

Posted By Kurt Nimmo | Infowars.com On January 20, 2015

Michael Moore might be a big government socialist, but he’s right about the propaganda film American Sniper.

Moore said Chris Kyle was a coward. Sniping is not cowardice: it’s a technique of war that must be put in proper context.

In a follow-up to his original remark, Moore got it right, at least in the first half of the tweet:
Michael Moore ✔ @MMFlint
"When we invade and kill 100,000 based on lies we are not heroes. Hate speech toward @MMFlint is really guilt and shame." 9:27 PM - 19 Jan 2015

The argument should not be about the war technique, but about the war overall. Moore is correct — the invasion of Iraq was based on calculated lies designed to produce consensus for a war that was illegal and immoral.

Saddam Hussein did not possess weapons of mass destruction. He did not shelter and encourage al-Qaeda (that was done by the CIA). Iraq was in shambles after more than a decade of sanctions that left the country on the verge of becoming a failed state. Saddam Hussein was not a threat to the United States. He was not a threat to anybody expect the Iraqi people.

Chris Kyle and the movie his wife insists is an accurate portrayal of her late husband is war propaganda.

The folks who brought us the invasion of Iraq have an agenda. That agenda is endless war in the name of globalist empire. Hollywood works closely with the Pentagon and the CIA to produce slick war propaganda.

Moore says the “hate speech” — liberals invariably characterize criticism as hate speech — directed against him is a result of guilt and shame.

No, it is the result of ignorance and mass brainwashing.

Americans are not guilt ridden over the invasion of Iraq. They are ignorant of the real reason Iraq was invaded and destroyed.

American Sniper Punches Out Scruff Face

Postby Free » Wed Jan 21, 2015 1:29 pm

Pilots at hg.org seem to love the "American Sniper" movie, absorbing the propaganda hook, line and sinker.



http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_ ... ntura.html

Kyle’s legal difficulties emerged from a subchapter of American Sniper titled “Punching Out Scruff Face.” In it, Kyle describes beating up a former Navy SEAL (“Scruff Face”) after the SEAL claims American soldiers deserved to die in Iraq. Early drafts of the book identified the SEAL as Jesse Ventura, former governor of Minnesota and famed professional wrestler, but Kyle’s publishers removed the name for fear of a lawsuit. Nonetheless, in a radio interview following the book’s release, Kyle admitted that “Scruff Face” was Ventura, and he repeated the claim soon after on The O’Reilly Factor. American Sniper shot to the top of Amazon’s best-seller list, becoming a smash hit for its publisher, HarperCollins, selling more than 1.5 million copies by July of 2014.

There was, however, a problem: The Ventura story wasn’t true, and Ventura meant to prove it. So he took Kyle to trial, suing him—and, after he died, his estate—for defamation and unjust enrichment. In the United States, defamation cases are extremely difficult to win, thanks to the First Amendment. When allegedly defamatory statements pertain to a public figure, the plaintiff mustn’t just prove those statements were false. He has to prove the defendant made those statements with “actual malice”—that is, knowledge that they were false—or with “reckless disregard” for their falsity. Very few defamation plaintiffs can make it over the high bar of actual malice.

Ventura made it. On July 29, 2014, a federal jury returned from six days of deliberations to award Ventura $1.845 million in damages—specifically, $500,000 for defamation and about $1.345 million for unjust enrichment. (In other words, Kyle unjustly profited from defaming Ventura, and so his estate must give Ventura some of that money.) Kyle’s widow, Taya Kyle, promptly filed for “judgment as a matter of law,” asking the trial judge to reverse’s the jury’s verdict because the jury clearly got it wrong. Failing that, she asked for an entirely new trial. The judge denied both requests, defending the jury’s verdict as legally and factually justifiable. Kyle’s widow is currently appealing the decision; her odds of winning appear quite low.

All of this presents a very big problem for HarperCollins.

For the Kyle family, then, the legal tribulations surrounding American Sniper are probably wrapping up, and Taya Kyle will likely pay some damages but walk away from the affair with many millions of dollars left to her name. ​(HarperCollins’ libel insurance, in fact, will cover her defamation damages.) But for Kyle’s publisher, HarperCollins, the nightmare is just beginning. Several months after the verdict against the Kyle estate, Ventura brought another lawsuit for unjust enrichment, this time against HarperCollins. The lawsuit explains that while Kyle is the one who defamed Ventura, HarperCollins played up those defamatory statements in order to boost its sales—and with reckless disregard to the truth of Kyle’s claims.

This suit is the second of Ventura’s one-two punch, and from here, it looks like a knockout. During the first trial, Ventura’s attorneys uncovered records of HarperCollins’ negligence in fact-checking Kyle’s book, as well as evidence that HarperCollins specifically touted the Ventura story to drum up publicity. Kyle’s ghostwriters spoke with only one person who claimed to have witnessed the fight, a friend of Kyle’s who told a different version of the story that lacked Ventura’s offensive remarks. No one from HarperCollins contacted Ventura or his representatives to verify the story. And though Kyle claimed Ventura appeared at a SEAL graduation afterward with a black eye—where “everybody was laughing” and asking “Who beat the s*** out of him?”—HarperCollins never asked a member of the graduating class whether they saw Ventura’s injury. (A photograph from the event shows a clear image of Ventura—with no black eye.)

It gets worse for HarperCollins...

I have the best case to bring BEFORE the Trial Board. Can't do both at once.

Yes, Thanks for asking.
This would be the offensive comment you are referring:

from Jim (blindrodie) Gaar:
May 21, 2014 Post subject: He's a notorius Troll Reply with quote #88
I still know where a millennium is, just rotting in a barn.
He paid $5000 for it years ago. Never flew it. He does not fly anymore. We don't get along (former partner removed from an LLC) so he would never sell it to me...

I keep waiting to hear of his passing and the HUGE auction that will ensue.

Cool


I count seven absolute lies, one misleading inference and one hate wish in this little soliloquy.
To his credit, I give it one possible truth, one that he has no way of knowing.
This is about par for the blindrodie.


Jim Gaar' standard sig:

Someone might ask Jim Gaar, how he got the Guggenmos and if he's ever flown it.. other than his dreams.
Also, why aren't his ratings listed in his sig?
