I'd like to be in contact with a person trained and skilled in the practice of waterboarding. I want to film myself being waterboarded.

If anybody is such a person, or can connect me to such a person, please contact me privately at pkotik@attglobal.net.

Thank you.
 
I'm being sincere when I say, "Good luck".

I know, it's like everybody is making a HUGE DEAL out of this totally laughable thing. The people who got trained in it by government organizations like to pretend it's some Big Secret. The press likes to pretend it's some kind of Horrible Torture.

Please ! I know perfectly well what waterboarding is, and I'd be willing to bet a year's pay that this would not get any secrets out of any Deeper Blue forum participant. I plan on getting secrets out of my interrogator when this is done to me. He'll learn nothing, and i'll tickle him and force his ATM code out of him.

Promise.
 
According to wikipedia, it involves forcing water into the stomach of the victim, until the stomach swells to three times its usual size. Then, the aggressor jumps on the distended belly of the victim, causing the water to squirt out of various orifices.
 
Oh!!!! Shit cant that make you burst something? Like your spleen or can't it damage your internals?

Paul, you do get involved in some strange fetishes ;-)

Paul, to make the video real, prior the waterboarding, you should also stay couple of months in solitary confinement, get exposed to extreme cold and extreme heat, exposed to laud music and bright light for days, be deprived of sleep for many days, stay in stretched positions for hours long, got attacked by dogs, got some psychological and sexual abuse - simply trying all those approved "enhanced investigation methods". I think that passing relaxed only through one discipline you are perfectly trained for is not quite fair.

Most of those guys (EDIT: err, in fact kids and women are among the "investigated" too) have to endure it in such a combination, and they are not trained freedivers, but very often just were on the wrong place at the wrong time - big part of the so-called terrorists were pilgrims sold for a bounty to the occupation forces by locals in Afghanistan or Iraq, or were denounced by other "terrorists" under the coercion. Even if many of them were innocent and released, they had to pass through the "enhanced investigation" - no wonder that many of them conceded to whatever they thought is expected from them to stop the "enhanced investigation" including denouncing couple of people for things they never did.

I'll stay away from any political arguments surrounding this. But I'm curious what the purpose is. If it's to feel the sensation of drowning, or to see if freediving helps get you through it? I would agree though that any one torture method alone is not a solid test since it is a combonation of effects and if one method does not work, they move to the next.

Hmmm, I wonder what a magician could do with it as a stunt with an escape at the end....hmmmm.

And I am ex-military too...Plus I have an un-heated raccoon and skunk infested nasty old broken down chicken coop in the back that would be perfect for such activities...Plus it's out in the country!!! No one could hear your gurgleing! Just message me...We'll work somthing out...Whopperhead could even film it in High Definition and you could spit water up all over his camera too for effect..It has a REALLY nice waterproof housing!!!!rofl

Eric, for heaven's sake, you KNOW people take everything you say very seriously!

Here's the actual Wikipedia entry:

Waterboarding is a torture technique that simulates drowning in a controlled environment. It consists of immobilizing an individual on his or her back, with the head inclined downward, and pouring water over the face[1] to force the inhalation of water into the lungs.[2] Waterboarding has been used to obtain information, coerce confessions, punish, and intimidate. In contrast to merely submerging the head, waterboarding elicits the gag reflex,[3] and can make the subject believe death is imminent. Waterboarding's use as a method of torture or means to support interrogation is based on its ability to cause extreme mental distress while possibly creating no lasting physical damage to the subject. The psychological effects on victims of waterboarding can last long after the procedure.[4] Although waterboarding in cases can leave no lasting physical damage, it carries the real risks of extreme pain, damage to the lungs, brain damage caused by oxygen deprivation, injuries as a result of struggling against restraints (including broken bones), and even death.[5]


I say that was written by a wussy, for wussies. I say waterboarding is just good clean fun, a cocktail party game. I'm asking for a bona fide, trained practicioner to have a go at me with it, and I'm saying I'll get his ATM code out of him before he gets my middle name out of me !
 
You mean we aren't going to see you inflated with water from a hosepipe and have Big Mama jump up and down on you? BUMMER!!! Some days you just shouldn't get out of bed :(
 
This is funny stuff, sorry if your attempts are serious Paul, but I have just spat coffee all over the computer screen with laughter. I'll tell you my ATM number if you spin the thread on a little further. Wait, have I just been waterboarded?

I think you've been coffeeboarded. Or keyboarded. Yipes! Call Amnesty International, PETA and the Red Cross! How could you treat your computer in such an inhumane way? How could you lower yourself to its level?

But seriously, I think this would make a great little film. You'd think that with all the many thousands of visitors to the DB site - which has to do with water, after all - there'd be at least one well-trained waterboarder eager for stardom.
