Ed Rob Menard's FOTL Claims

[The Palmernator]

Surely his followers fellow idiots can see that what he is doing now is a ma-hoo-sive contradiction of what he has been teaching them for the last goodness knows how many years? Or is he feeding them a somewhat different version of what he is actually trying to do?

He doesn't have any followers anymore, they have all abandoned him, he hasn't even posted his "legal action" on WFS.
Why not you ask?
Its because they think he's a dick.

I mean the guy posts on his face book page that he is somehow going to get a judgment against me in his little fantasy civil suit and then send some “sharks” down here to collect the money.

If Menard has any sense and really does intend to persue this to the end I would have thought the last thing he should be doing is posting the type of comments he is posting on facebook.

He has publicly stated to JB:

I am going to tear one **** of a hole in your life....

According to Menard LashL is

******** her drawers

We have talk of "sharks" who enjoy collecting money

It is an attention seeking exercise, nothing more. And judging by the way his facebook fans are lapping up his BS and showering him with praise Menard is managing to get the attention he so desperately craves.

Fat, stoned and starved for attention is not way to go through life.

I think he is lapsing into mental illness much same way Eldon Warman did.

I mean the guy posts on his face book page that he is somehow going to get a judgment against me in his little fantasy civil suit and then send some “sharks” down here to collect the money.

I doubt this is a just case of doing too much weed while watching “Dog: The Bounty Hunter”.

He’s saying stuff like this all over the place too everyone, now, including LashL!

Warman used to tell us that the Canadian government was trying to make him a slave based on the U.S. 1856 Fugitive Slave Act. It was nuts!

Now Menard is saying he is going to pay us all back using what he believes is his blindingly amazing legal mind to get the B.C. Courts to do his bidding.

The boy is on the bus to crazy town.

Yeah, this. He's really gone completely on tilt now that he's fully apprehended that the world doesn't work the way he wishes it did, and he's just swinging at everyone or anyone he can find.

Going to be rather a disappointment for him -- no matter what he actually manages to do, in the end his whole premise comes down to "someone please punish all these people for telling everyone the truth", and that really isn't going to work out well for him regardless of how it goes.

Sorry arayder but you're wrong on this one point - he's already there - hanging outside the walls in an iron cage of his own design!

..and we'll all gathered beneath wondering what the strange monkey will do next - and laughing

 

[LashL]

You can't just insert whatever numbers you feel like when it comes to damages, which it looks like he did ("Hmmm, I could use 50k..." - it has to have some relationship to the claim.

Actually, up here, you do have to quantify the amount of damages that you are seeking in a statement of claim. Different levels of civil courts have different monetary jurisdictions, so you have to specify what amount you are seeking and bring the action in the correct court.

And there is no way on earth a largely unemployed self-styled activist incurred 50k+ of damages from having a speaking engagement cancelled, even if ALL the charges were true (and we know none of them are).

Very true, that.

What makes this even more amusing is how in doing all this he, a so called legal guru for FOTLers, shows how little he actually knows about the law. LashL isnt the owner of the JREF forum nor is she an officer of the JREF - so you can serve her all you like, forum admin role as a volunteer position is the 100% wrong person to try to compel to produce anything.

Indeed. In addition to that, not even the JREF can be compelled to provide information about John Doe in the circumstances of this claim. Menard, of course, has no idea why, but I do and that makes me laugh, too.

According to Menard LashL is

******** her drawers

He misspelled "laughing her butt off".

 

[Hans]

Hey can't we convene a people's court ala FOLT and convict Menard of being a tool?

I suggest LashL for the Judge, JB for the prosecutor and a belt sander for the defense

.

I had to laugh at that also. I'm fairly sure it's in the MA starting with, "The opinions expressed in your post are .........."

Menard would plea bargain it down to "buffoon" and cop a guilty plea.

 

[arayder]

The dope clock is at 28 days. . .28 harmless days since Menard filed his magic papers.

Could it be because our impecunious hero is experiencing some difficulty in locating a PI who is willing to spend time hunting you down in exchange for a worthless piece of paper consumer purchase note?

 

[jargon buster]

Menard expects people to do his bidding for free and get paid once his "ship comes in*"
(wins is libel case)

* see what I did there, Admiralty and all that.

Unfortunately his ship is a garbage scow.

I rather doubt the ole boy has any sort of working relationship with a private eye.

His story about securing the services of one includes references to extended conversations with the PI, I believe, meant to lend credibility to his story and infer that a sensible adult in the investigative field would pay him any mind.

After hearing just a few of Menard’s tall tales one learns to be suspect of the self-aggrandizing, ultimately unsubstantiated, information he relates in order to make himself look good.

The idea of a working investigator sitting still long enough to hear the fanciful tale of a disheveled, stoner/narcissist while the time is money clock ticks away just doesn’t pass the smell test.

You mean... you don't believe him?

Don't forget when he was previously going after JB he claimed to have a "crack legal team" and a "shark of a lawyer who loved getting his teeth into this type of thing". Mind you, that did become another forgotten project.

He also had a string of bully boys to beat him up or maybe that was a different lie.

 

[arayder]

Menard’s attitude toward his tall tales is childish and simple. . . if he lies and gets away with it, he interprets this as being clever and superior to others. While most folk’s common sense sees lying as wrong, the Fezzed Narcissist views lying as merely a tool to obtain what he wants and a means to demonstrate how stupid others are.

In his head his past failures and the lamentations of his victims and their families are passed off as the victim’s failure, or the work of government courts, courts which, of course Menard fantasizes he has now easily bested.

Menard’s anti-government guru career can be seen as not much more than finding gullible folks who will help sustain his fantasy of superiority. In the search for fresh gullibles and their praise (seen, yet, at his face book a page) Menard manages to avoid the social isolation and loneliness lying usually brings about.

Ah, took me a while but I get it now. See, I always approached this from the point of view that he really believed all this Freeman stuff, that the courts were corrupt, that Admiralty jurisdiction was they way in which all the courts worked, that you could hypen-dot-colon your name and that you would get away with it etc. ad nauseum.

When in reality, he is just a sad old conman who has ripped of hundreds (thousands?) of gullible conspiracy theorists with promises of billions of dollars and debt written off for free. All for a small up front payment, of course.

And now he has been found out he is just reverting to type.

Makes FAR more sense now! D'oh! Are all the other FOTL gurus just like this?
