One of my many Patrick Ross-related confidential informants (CIs) informs me that undischarged bankrupt and man in desperate need of validation Patrick Ross did something rather revealing in a recent one of Patrick's unwatched and unwatchable YouTube podcasts:
(It's unclear why Patrick invests the time it takes to create these boring screeeds when they typically get -- as you can see -- all of 28 views over 11 hours, many of those by my CIs who have vowed to track his YouTube inanity. But ... onward.)
The revealing bit is that, starting at the 3-minute mark for about 15 seconds, Patrick compares the attention received by others as opposed to (his words exactly), "a guy recording in the basement in Grande Prairie ...".
Um ... wut?
What a fascinating disclosure, coming as it is out of nowhere and having nothing to do with the topic of the podcast. Is there any question that Patrick is referring to himself, and hoping the viewer accepts that bizarre reveal? I think it's obvious that Patrick is desperately trying to misdirect the viewer into thinking that he's in Grande Prairie, Alberta, and here's why.
First, why would Patrick use such an explicit and informative description, rather than simply refer to himself as, say, "a guy recording a podcast in a basement"? What informative value does it bring to the video to describe the location of the basement as being in Grande Prairie? None, suggesting he's only throwing that in there to mislead.
More to the point, given that Patrick has spent the last decade frantically trying to avoid creditors and process servers, why would he generously now tell everyone where he is? Answer: Because it's simply not true.
Finally, if one were to believe Patrick that he is in Grande Prairie and in a basement, one would naturally assume that it's because he's renting someone's basement so he can continue working there. But that flies in the face of everything you see in the screenshot above, which clearly shows a basement furnished with the type of juvenile sports paraphernalia you would expect would have been collected over the years by Patrick and his late and unlamented father; in other words, in a basement at Casa Ross in Lloydminster, Saskatchewan. But if Patrick wants to play this silly game, then let's play it with him.
I invite all of my CIs in both Lloydminster and Grande Prairie to be on the lookout for Patrick, so we can resolve this one way or the other. Keep on the lookout for Patrick, and report back and we'll settle this mystery one way or the other. And as for Patrick's feeble attempt at misdirection, well, he's never really been an evil genius, has he?
This is not to garner any amount of sympathy for this twat, but I have rarely seen a set of eyes so dead.
ReplyDeleteAddiction? Lots of meth in the oilpatch. Mental illness? Well, the activities of the last 15 years point to that.
I'm going to guess both. In fact, I'm going to state that Patrick has become the type of man that he himself ridicules as "needing to pull up their boot straps."
Anon @ 8:18 AM: Patrick has always been a total hypocrite when it comes to criticising others for identical failings of his own. I remember when he once slagged someone else for not being responsible and accountable for his own actions; this from someone who dealt with the consequences of defaming me by gutlessly declaring personal bankruptcy and, since then, running and hiding.
ReplyDeletePatrick is one of the least self-aware people I know.
Maybe he wants to establish himself as being in Alberta so that come October he will be part of new country Alberta. I am sure his separatist cracker friends have told him any civil litigation will cease and they won't allow Canada to extradite him.
ReplyDeleteYes, he's that dumb.
Perhaps it's the case that one of his siblings is living on the ground floor of a paid-off house and Patrick is enjoying living rent-free in a room or two in the basement? Or "crashing" as we used to say when I was young. ["I crashed at so-and-so's house."]
ReplyDeleteStill, I think even such informal arrangements count as something when it comes to bankruptcy proceedings.
If that is actually what is going on.
