Yes. I've started digging around in 2002 archives. Much to look at.
2002 was when the 'partnership' was severed and somewhere along there, a list banning.

It doesn't look like they've had much activity in the last year (4 total posts in 2014?).

When I was a kid my mom took us to 'visit' a neighbor when their two daughters had the measles. A natural vaccination that worked.

Lon Horiuchi-American Sniper: Hello, Clint Eastwood

Postby Free » Mon Feb 09, 2015 5:05 pm

Pro Libertate
Freedom in our Time:
http://www.freedominourtime.blogspot.co ... niper.html
Excerpt:
Although the FBI would later insist that Vicky’s death was inadvertent, Horiuchi himself would confirm that he knew the identity of his victim.

A psychological profile of the family http://jimbovard.com/blog/2012/08/22/20 ... -her-baby/
produced by the Bureau identified Vicki, rather than her ex-Green Beret husband, as the dominant personality in the family. James “Bo” Gritz, an ex-Special Forces Colonel who acted as a negotiator during the 10-day standoff, later testified under oath that the FBI had deliberately targeted Vicki out of the belief that she “would kill her children rather than ever allow them to surrender.”

Kyle’s lethal ministry was one of “saving lives,” http://www.military.com/special-operati ... niper.html he and his supporters have insisted – not lives unworthy of life, such as the Iraqi “savages” for whom he expressed such disdain, but the incomparably valuable lives of his comrades-in-arms.

Horiuchi’s comrades offered the same defense of the FBI sniper’s murderous actions at Ruby Ridge. By killing Vicki, he acted “to save lives,” insisted fellow FBI sniper Dale Monroe. Like the unnamed Iraqi woman, Vicki must be regarded as a hateful, irrational, marginally human creature who simply didn’t understand that when the Empire makes a proprietary claim on you and your family, it is not only a crime but a sin to resist.

Image
Primed to kill: Law enforcement officers at Ruby Ridge, Idaho, August 1992.

The FBI’s theatrical professions of regret over Vicki’s death belied the fact that the battalion of combat-outfitted law enforcement personnel on the scene at Ruby Ridge celebrated the killing as a noble victory: With full knowledge that Mrs. Weaver was dead, they named their staging area “Camp Vicki,” and used a public address system to taunt Randy and his surviving children by pretending to speak on behalf of his dead wife.

During his ministry of bloodshed in Iraq, Kyle displayed the same contemptuous, bullying attitude toward the population he was there to “liberate.” His unit adopted the logo of The Punisher, a nihilistic, Marvel Comics character. They made a point of tagging every available surface with the slogan: “Despite what your momma told you, violence does solve problems.”



Image

Vicki Weaver, the victim of Horiuchi’s kill-shot, was standing in the doorway of her family’s home at Ruby Ridge, Idaho. The family had come under federal siege because of Randy’s refusal to become an informant within the Aryan Nation white supremacist group. Randy had been manipulated by an ATF undercover operative named Kenneth Fadeley into selling a shotgun with a sawed-off barrel. Eight months after that transaction, two of Fadeley’s comrades in that detestable organization demanded that Randy become an informant, threatening his home and family if he didn’t cooperate.

I'm not a smoker, or a vaper, or anything else of a mind-altering-substance consumer, but I don't think these are confined to THC. I'm seeing a lot more of this stuff used for tobacco substitution, since we're a lot less tolerant (Hurray!) of secondhand smoke in public spaces. While the PG'er in question might have been ingesting something psychoactive, there's nothing I see there which shows it one way or the other.

That said, I think it's pretty stupid...but I think the same thing about cigarette smoking and drinking to the point of inebriation.

For those that don't know (like me before I did some research) the object the PG pilot is holding is typically a device used for "smoking" pot. So much for the Superiority of Paraglider Pilots.

Some prominent (or less so) PG pilots seem to enjoy displaying their irresponsible (if not illegal) aviation related behavior.

Hmmmmm, . . . Does the FAA have regulations connected with flying under the influence? You would think they do.
