The Discovery Channell show & the state of HPR

Nov 10, 2003 17 Replies

Hi all,



Forgive me if this as been addressed already, but did the Discovery channel's coverage of LDRS mention anything about the current state of HPR and its battles with Homeland security? Good coverage of HPR could help.. i figure.



Since I knew the show is going to re-air, I had to watch Rams football & the BBC show "The Office" ( a must see for any office worker BTW).

hmmm.. not sure if that's a good thing or bad thing. Anyway... don't ya think its weird nothing was mentioned? or maybe there is a conspiracy... wink.. wink...

nah.. i didnt say that for Jerry's sake.. I was just poking fun at the HLS office. I did see bits & pieces of the shows last night and thought it was OK.. The best thing about this is: I can have my friends who don't know a thing about HPR or model rocketry watch and learn. The more people know how cool this hobby is the better.

Conspiracy? TRA Yes.

Government? Nope. Just dumb brutality with a penchance for love of police state and jurisdiction creep, with an unlimited budget for citizen harassment.

Hi Gene :-)

Perhaps the show was intended to give us a false sense of security :)

Well, let's try this on for size while I'm setting up sanity checks for the numbers in "Operation Big Bad Van"...

Given the anount of wrong information in the program, and the BATF's very well known propensity for only showing others they want others to see... how could they use what _was_ shown?

What would they edit out, what would they leave in, and what would they show lawmakers saying "It was on the Discovery Channel! It MUST be true!"...?

A listing of errors in the program could be useful later for more than one reason...

If paranoia is present one must be sure to utilize it properly. :)

They were pretty toasty, but all the pad shots were done via a radio controlled helcopter with a camera mounted on it. That's how they got all the close ups and the air shots. Was a really cool set up. Looks like they subcontracted the guy to work with them.

$2.49 at WalMart buys me enough aluminum foil to make plenty of hats to keep out their mind control waves.

TIN foil, you now-mindless dupe... tin foil!

Commercial aluminum foil has billions of holes placed between the atoms of the foil in order to allow the UN-standardized mind-control frequencies thru.

Tinfoil, and make sure the shiny side is out.

UN RC helicopters?... scary...

I thought the UN worked for the BATF?

Hmmmm but there were those... ahem clouds someone flew into. :(

Gratuitous LDRS 23 plug... it never gets over 107 in Geneseo. :) In reality - for those use to Kansas or Black Rock in the summer - you better bring your sweaters because we'll be lucky to reach 98. ;)
