These recent rec.boats.paddle posts reflect current mainstream media
reports of GOP right wing crazy attacks, "birthers" against Obama etc.
The American Canoe Association during the Bush Cheney years used
rec.boats.paddle posters to kill over 1,000 Americans in Canoes and
Kayaks: A huge number of Americans murdered on their own soil.

This data is in rec.boats.paddle archives and on the US Coast Guard
website, particularly the Office of Boating Safety and the Boating
Safety Advisory Council.

Today, poster Melissa reveals that some rec.boats.paddle posters are
intelligent and witty Americans.

Today we have an excellent response from typical GOP "Bush Cheney"
killers. Also Please note that Melissa shows the moral and
intellectual prowess to confront these killers with their "bombproof
roll", a favourite murder technique on rec.boats.paddle.

Check the recent posts. Years ago, many agonizing deaths ago, Slim

Hello Davej, you wrote:
No, my whole idea is to consider some form of handicapping device in

Something I do for handicapping is to restrict the use of various
limbs in as many different water conditions as I can find. And of
course, practicing rolls without a paddle. This type of handicapping
is, in my view, more practical than trying to figure out how you're
going to fit your boat into the jacuzzi for aerated water practice.
If you think about the types of conditions that would capsize you,
it's good to think in terms of not just water and/or wind conditions,
but of your own potential condition as well. If you're in already
gnarly conditions that you can barely handle when you're feeling
great, what if you become injured? Might you then be more likely to
capsize in the first place? And still need to find a way to bring
yourself back up? Or, of course, end up swimming without the use of
a limb or two?
There are endless scenarios one can come up with to practice, and I
feel that all too often, we only think about practicing as if nothing
could ever happen to us physically, and ultimately, that's just not
realistic. There's always an exception to "bombproofness" lurking,
just waiting for the right moment to strike. Will we be ready? Or
at least as ready as we can be?

Excellent post Melissa. Of course, "bombproof" is a crazy "cult"
idea.

Yakmom responded to Slim Jim Stuart's Post below. (Yakmom essentially

Need a little help sorting this out.


I have coached juniors slalom, particularly more advanced 12-16 year
olds,
with emphasis on technical technique, bigger water (i.e. Dickerson,
Potomac
Gorge), and physical development training. I haven't coached for a
few
years,
partly due to work, but more due to the issues described below.


Here's the dilemma:
- I can help kids develop elite slalom and WW skills, and fast.
- By the age of 14, some are highly skilled, if with limited "mean"
river
experience.
- Coaching develops skills which get kids competent enough to even
consider
"extreme zone" runs.
- Teen peer group pressure to push for extreme runs is enormous, and
the
definition of extreme continues to mount.
- Safety focus in whitewater is nearly non-existent these days, and
role
modeling only goes so far.
- WW slalom can be richly rewarding for developing youth - exercising
talent,
dedication to hard work, complex brainwork and experience pyramiding,
physical development, travel and intrigue, camaraderie and community,
all very
admirable and noble activities. (keeps em off the street too)
- But out in the falls, kids are now making decisions in mere seconds
to run
extreme risk WW, usually without perspective.
- If they ask me: "Do you think I should run it?" I respond: "Which
would be
more dangerous, running that drop, or having all four of your wisdom
teeth
extracted? And how much time would you want to decide about having
your teeth
pulled?"
- I've already had several kids with "off the course" very close
calls
and
serious injuries.


How do I rationalize coaching - or not coaching for that matter?
Coaching seems like something worthwhile doing, when I'm doing it.
But what would I tell the parents of a kid who dies "off course?"

Actually my life is rich, and getting richer after 8 years of Bush
Cheney criminality, that rivals that of the Nuremberg Trials.
Rec.boats.paddle lurkers like yourself used the Bush Cheney years to
deny the American public 50 cent sponsons to get out of the water in 5
seconds. Without sponsons, no judge or jury can get out of the water
to save themselves. Go ahead, test a court with rolling, paddle
floating, canoe over canoe, capistrano flip, paddle a floooded canoe
or kayak to shore. The depth of perfidy of your canoe and kayak death
cult is obvious: http://www.sponsonguy.com

And Just the Summer before 9/11, on rec.boats.paddle I warned about
"the creation of a murder cult" Today on Huffington Post or the NY
Times, etc. many articles refer to the destruction of the GOP by
attempting to stop American Health Care. It was the same principle
with safety sponsons, with over 1,500 dead Americans in Canoes and
Kayaks. It was the same principle after the Civil War with dedicated
corruption in public office toward the deliberate killing and
plundering of other Americans:
Editor Chris Cunningham, just like Dave Harrison at Canoe and
Kayak magazine, (see Dave's sponson prose-praise on the index page of
the website http://www.sponsonguy.com), decided to cave-in to the
murder cult of paddlefloaters and rollers, even though most people
can't save themselves with either one.

I told them in 1994 that their behavior would lead to a murder cult
in
paddlesports, with the general public needlessly dying of
paddlefloating, rolling, etc.


The young Wisconsin couple were murdered by the cult, and so were the
2 kids in Washington State last week, who borrowed kayaks from
friends, thinking that canoes and kayaks are as safe as the
propaganda
in the magazines. Or the instructor propaganda.


Dead touring paddlers die differently from WW paddlers (who usually
die quickly trapped by a sprayskirt or pinned underwater). Dead
touring paddlers usually have lots of time to realize they are
trapped, with no escape, when they can't get back in with a
paddlefloat.


They think about not seeing their mom and dad again, as they slowly
die. Just like the 4 schoolkids at Lyme Bay.

Lyman, you stupid fool. You are not smart enough to understand that
Seakayaker and Canoe and Kayak Magazine etc. set out to trick you and
other
people with inadequate intelligence.


Over 1000 dead US touring paddlers now. Killed by not getting out of
the
water. Simple.


Killed by sprayskirts that trap. Killed by paddlefloats. Killed by
rolls. In
Greenland, the championships always use a big sponsoned rescue Zodiac
because they can't roll to save themselves.


But people are tricked and murdered. Like you.


Nothing humorous about murder John. Tell that "very nice lawyer" that
the
families of 1000 murdered victims can be reached using the US COAST
GUARD
database.


Get the law firms to work.


JOHN! Don't murder Spunky. Matt is dangerous.


Matt says on his website (last I looked) that rolls are much safer
than
paddlefloats. But of course, in Seakayaker mag etc., The World Champs
at the
Greenland Championships can't save themselves (and need a big
sponsoned
Zodiac rescue boat, and diver.)


Matt tells me that he wanted sponsons included throughout "Deep
Trouble".
This is due to the extreme liability of that book. Look at poor Doug
Lloyd
almost dying in Seakayaker several times. (Doug worships MATT). Matt
is mean
to Doug.


Seakayaker printed the sponson superiority article on the website
www.sponsonguy.com
and Matt was furious.


In Every issue of Seakayaker since 1993, in every article by George
Gronseth
and Matt Broze, sponsons are not mentioned. But outrageously
dangerous
and
murderously unsafe ideas are. George and Matt tried to change in
"Deep
Trouble" by including sponsons (but only in the book, for liability
reasons).


Editor Chris Cunningham, just like Dave Harrison at Canoe and Kayak

THIS IS CRUEL MURDER!


Young and fit paddlers in issues of Seakayaker and Atlantic Coastal
Kayaker,
who are saved just before unconsciousness, due to hypothermia, say
"I
thought of never seeing my kids...family...loved ones...again....."


Articles in magazines sometimes report that they think they "need to
practise paddlefloating more often" ( to avoid breaking paddles and
re-capsizing, pumping out, fitting sprayskirt etc.) This is the CULT
MURDER
EFFECT.


As you see in posts by Tom And Rick in this thread, the paddlefloat
is
not
going to save most people if they need it. It will murder them.


Anything depending on "Practise! Practise!" is so unreliable, it will
fail
in emergencies. Like rolls and paddlefloats. These ideas murder
people.


The judge self-rescues in 20 seconds, no practice, the first time,
with 20
second sponsons.


The Future Of Canoes and Kayaks


Murder in the 2nd degree is behavior that knowingly endangers
innocent
people and kills them. For example, discharging a gun into a crowd or
instructing people to paddle kayaks and canoes without sponsons, the
only
reliable emergency stability, to escape death by hypothermia.


20 second sponsons are foam, oral or gas cartridge inflated, in a
variety of
models to meet public safety needs.


Instructing people to paddle canoes and kayaks unsafely, and killing
them,
is a serious crime. Rolls, paddlefloats, and open canoe rescues kill
both
experienced and novice paddlers.
Without a reliable means to get out of the water fast, people are
murdered.
Even wearing PFDs.


BCU and ACA instructors, and commercial magazines such as "Canoe and
Kayak",
"Seakayaker", and "Paddler" deliberately endanger the public with
unsafe
instruction. The primary motive is profit, with group rolling lessons
and
paddlefloating lessons costing $400 an hour, on average. After a 90
minute
rolling lesson, the failure rate for rolling is 80%.


In contrast, 20 second sponsons are learned in 20 seconds, with no
failures,
unless physically disabled. Physically disabled paddlers can rescue
themselves using gas cartridge sponsons, simply pulling a cord. Then
they
crawl out of the water, using the rear deck as a boarding platform.
These
will retail for less than $300, including all hardware for permanent
installation on gunwales: Lightweight 1 lb., Compact 8 inch by 2 inch
gunwale fitting holding each deflated sponson inside, No drag. Just
pull the
cord.


Inexpensive, closed cell foam sponsons cost a canoe or kayak
manufacturer a
few dollars ($5) . YMCA camps and Boy Scouts can use rolled up
sleeping
mats, properly adapted, to paddle any flooded kayak or canoe to
safety
immediately, to escape death by hypothermia.


But First the kids have to escape death by ACA/ BCU instruction, the
commercial magazines, and the paddlesport industry.


Thousands of dead paddlers since 1993, when sponsons were available;
1000
dead paddlers in the US alone.


In this same time period, twice as many canoes and kayaks have been
sold
with built-in sponsons, compared to those without sponsons.
Canoes and Kayaks without sponsons kill almost all paddlers. Simply
because
people are not able to get out of the water, and stay out, without
sponsons.


The murderous instruction cult speaks of risk management, while
instructing
without sponsons.
In view of the much lower death rate for sponsoned canoes and kayaks
(of
which there are twice the numbers), the biggest risk is ACA, BCU
instruction
etc., with no sponsons.


The above parties have created a rolling and paddlefloating cult that
kills
without mercy. And Kills most paddlers, simply because they refuse to
teach
20 second sponsons. They kill people for money. This evidence is
proof
of
criminal behavior.


Ethical and intelligent paddlers are now bringing this murderous brew
to a
boil. Contact news media, offices of state or crown attorneys, and
grieving
families. This is a problem that is easily fixed.


A 10 year old child can turn any ACA instructor into a FOOL in 20
seconds.


Clip, clip, the Fastex buckles and any kayak or canoe is stable
enough
to
paddle fully flooded, to safety. The paddler gets warmed immediately.
And
the body core is out of cold water in 20 seconds. Plus Re-capsize
protection.


1. The Instructor is still in the water.


2. The instructor denies the public re-capsize protection, even in a
fully
flooded canoe or kayak that can be paddled in 20 seconds.


3. The instructor kills people this way.

Dear Melissa, unfortunately you have made a poor choice, unlike the 2
ten year old girls in the pictures: http://www.sponsonguy.com who
can
rescue themselves in 5 seconds plus any other swimmers in the water,
without any practice or instruction; just clip on 50 cent sponsons.
Slim Jim Stuart realized he was endangering children and stopped.
You,
Melissa recognized that depending on rolling to save human life was
foolish: "Finally, a small comment about "bombproof" rolls...

Even after many years of hardly ever missing a roll when I really
needed it, I'm still wary of the "bombproof" concept. After all, if
I'm paddling along and a bomb is dropped on me, trying to roll back
up would probably be a moot point. Serioiusly though, while we
can--and should--constantly practice our rolling and other
self-rescue techniques, I think we might ultimately be doing
ourselves a disservice by convincing ourselves that we can develop
rolls that will, without doubt, always bring us up under any and all
circumstances. Overconfidence can really harsh one's mellow at just
the wrong moment.


Perhaps the most dangerous thing for anyone--in any field of
endeavor--is to feel that they've entirely "mastered" anything. For
one thing, life would be terribly boring if we ever got to the point
of being able to "duplicate perfection" at every turn, with nothing
more to learn (define "repeatable perfection", after all). When it
comes to self-rescue skills, convincing ourselves that we've actually
perfected a technique to the point of "bombproofness"-or perhaps more
appropriately "foolproofness"--is a fools game that could just turn a
fine paddling day into a tragic day.


No matter how good you are, only "beginner's mind" will help you get
better."


You see Melissa, when someone misses a roll, like the World Champions
in Greenland who use a powerboat when their rolls fail, you could be
dead. You see Melissa, when you can't rescue yourself with a roll,
you
don't have a powerboat. You see, Melissa when you can't get out of
the
water with the most simple, foolproof and fastest method (Sponsons),
like 2 ten year old girls who can rescue others, like the Coast Guard
Sponsoned Rescue Kayaks, you look like a criminally corrupt American
like Bush Cheney. Think it over. Slim Jim did.

You could just put him on ignore like everybody else does...

Exactly: that's by far the best option! No attention, no audience and
despite this group being pretty dead anyway, you can then concentrate on
communication with those people that still hang out here who *are* worth
the effort.

You know the ironic thing - *I* don't have him on ignore...sometimes he's
funny, in a sad sort of way, so occasionally if I'm really bored I'll read
something he posted...otherwise I ignore by just not clicking on his posts.

Did get out and check out our local "paddle up a ways for something to do"
river - this past spring's floods knocked out a bunch of log jams and gave
us a good little evening cruise up and back (did I mention it's small and
slow?)

Found the niche for my little cheapo Heritage Featherlite that I picked up
on Craig's list as a loaner boat - on that tight little creek with all the
logs, it skims right over and around like a real boat! ;) I think I'll
retire the Loon from that sort of duty and leave it for it's big open
overnighter type original purpose.

The rec.boats.paddle posters took money from the American Canoe
Association, the major lobby group that killed over 200 American
children: Agonizing deaths like terminal waterboarding. American
children, American soil. Today we have mainstream American media
reporting that nearly 50 per cent of Republicans believe President
Obama is not American, despite a law passed this week in Hawaii
confirming his legal status.

American citizens still die with no single payer health care like the
major countries in the world with the most cost effective health care
(Germany, Canada etc.) Educated people know that single payer health
care has the best care for least cost, due to economies of scale.
Rec.boats.paddle used the GOP strategy of fear to attack sponsons,
just as American health care is now attacked.


The Bush Cheney years were particularly helpful to deny the American
public 50 cent sponsons to get out of the water in 5
seconds. Without sponsons, no judge or jury can get out of the water
to save themselves. Go ahead, test a court with rolling, paddle
floating, canoe over canoe, capistrano flip, paddle a flooded canoe
or
kayak to shore. The judge, jury and the grieving families will not be
amused by these ludicrous ideas called "rescues":
http://www.sponsonguy.com


Rec.boats.paddle today has a few posters who stupidly trot out their
perfidy from time to time, contradicting their own words, as we see
recently. This is a similar response to poor whites in the South
fighting for the Civil War to keep an underclass of slaves so their
own miserable existences were more bearable, if only in comparison.
This is the American political dynamic in a nutshell, essentially The
Sponson Story, in which the most obvious, patented, 50 cent sponsons,
in 5 seconds transform any canoe or kayak into a rescue craft; as
used
by some Coast Guard SAR teams.


My patents are well known to Homeland Security, USCG Admiral Hathaway
(see his letter on "FBI Public Safety Arrests" http://www.sponsonguy.com),
and almost everyone who knows what a canoe or kayak is.


The interesting part is that Americans are generally denied knowledge
of Sponsons, just like health care that most other citizens in the
world enjoy in developed countries; just like a white underclass
wanted slavery to feel better about their own miserable lives.


On rec.boats.paddle this "slavery" dynamic (preventing effective
canoe
and kayak lifesaving by use of dozens of Crazy "Rescues" that don't
work to save human life), has translated into the mass murder of over
1,500 Americans and hundreds of American children, documented by the
US Coast Guard database (BARD). These posters and the American Canoe
Association actually feel they are superior to the dead children who
did not have their "ACA judgment and skills", that in fact are
completely bogus, fraudulent.


See the pictures of 2 ten year old girls saving themselves (and any
other swimmers) in 5 seconds without any instruction or practice:
http://www.sponsonguy.com


No wonder the cowards on rec.boats.paddle are keeping their heads
down
these days!
