Jeffrey Pandin was - in the 1980s - a conservative activist working for anti-soviet and pro Apartheid organisations. In February 1986 he was reported as being 24,and in March 1987, 25, so he was born in either 1961 or 1962.

Angola protest

According to UPI Pandin was amongst four protestors who handcuffed themselves to the offices of Gray and company the PR firm representing the government of Angola in February 1986:

Four members of the Young Conservative Foundation Tuesday handcuffed themselves to a staircase in a Georgetown public relations firm that represents the Marxist government of Angola. Police charged the four with unlawful entry, and a Soviet diplomat later showed up at the group's office, apparently by coincidence, and discussed the incident with its leader.
Officers used police handcuff keys to free Kile McCreary, 21; Jeffrey Pandin, 24; Warren Simms, 19; and John Scanlon, 21; all of Washington. The incident began at 9:30 a.m. and lasted about 20 minutes. Lee Bellinger, the president of the Washington-based foundation, said the demonstrators were upset that the firm, Gray and Co., represents the interests of Marxist Angola.[1]

The Washington Post added:

Those young conservatives are learning what civil obedience is all about. Last week members of the Young Conservative Alliance showed up at the highly visible Gray & Co. Powerhouse Offices to protest the Georgetown public relations firm representing the Marxist Angola government. Outmaneuvered last Thursday, four of the young conservatives were back again yesterday, handcuffed themselves to a staircase in the lobby of Gray's offices and were arrested by police.
The four neatly dressed conservatives -- Kile McCreary, 21; Jeffrey Pandin, 24; Warren Simms, 19; and John Scanlon, 21 -- were charged with unlawful entry and taken off to spend the day in jail. A day in jail could turn them into real radicals. Gray Vice President Frank Mankiewicz said the four protesters were invited to meet with Robert Gray or Adm. Daniel J. Murphy, who is in charge of Gray's international division. "They didn't want to talk," he said. "They wanted a media event."
Lee Bellinger, president of the alliance, who describes his group as "contras in the conservative movement," said Gray has seen not the last of them. "They represent the communist regime of Angola and are basically promoting that regime's message. We will continue our guerrilla warfare against the firm. We want to muddy the water for them, make things hard for them."[2]
