if you watch Bobby's recent interviews with Beth Martens you will see that except for a few new unspecified, undocumented and unlikely claims of success Bobby has nothing new to say.*
Bobby's just looking for a new bunch of gullibles. Ya' gotta' figure that his recent off the web method of finding clients for his legal advice service wasn't getting enough business. I suspect that regardless of the exposure to the Law Societies going web public brings Bobby has had to get back on the web in the hopes of getting paying clients. Wait 'till the guy running the webinars for him catches on that he's helping Bobby commit fraud! * https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7ZpINjWaMc&t=3895s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-0DBPevQ5Q |

About 30 minutes into his second interview with Beth Martens Menard relates a story (which is most probably a lie as to the outcome) in which he brags about giving legal advice to a B.C. resident regarding a zoning violation.
This was done in direct violation of the 2012 court order that he cease such activity. Bobby gets turned in first thing Monday morning. |

A couple of folks have asked to see what I sent along. On the advice of my attorney I have redacted all personally identifiable information and the links to the Facebook posts which I am told Menard and his associates might use to dox me.
-------------------------------- ******.org cc: *********gnb.ca; ********.ca ; ****************.ca: **********.ca Dear Law Society of British Columbia, I would like to bring to your attention the recent activities of Robert A. Menard who in 2008 was prohibited by the Supreme Court of British Columbia from appearing as counsel, preparing documents for use in proceedings, and identifying himself in any way that suggests he is a lawyer. See: https://www.lawsociety.bc.ca/Website...Injunction.pdf In recent years Mr. Menard has developed and marketed a legal advice service which he has attempted to disguise as a “conflict resolution service”. See this post from Mr. Menard’s public Facebook page dated July 16, 2016. https://www.farcebook.com************* During a recent YouTube interview Mr. Menard openly admitted to, indeed bragged about, giving legal advice to a resident of North Cowichan British Columbia who was in violation of local building codes. See the 30 minute mark of the interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7ZpINjWaMc&t=1863s I believe this is the “JXXX VXXXX” Mr. Menard makes reference to in his April 21, 2017 letter to M*** D**** By laws Compliance Officer for North Cowichan. https://www.farcebook.com*************** I suspect J.V. is J*** V****, an associate of Mr. Menard. Recently Mr. Menard has revived his legal advice service. https://www.farcebook.com********************** He has also has engaged animal control officials in New Brunswick on behave of L**** C***********, a dog breeder. https://www.farcebook.com************** Mr. Menard is a resident of Quebec and can be contacted via email at: ************@gmail.com His last known address in the Montreal area is: ******** ******** ******* ******** ****** ****** ******** ******* I thank you for your attention to this matter.

Absent doing anything real, Bobby has gone back to his practice of telling tall tales that highlight his claimed freeman victories. It's worth noting that Bobby never documents these stories and each tale contains details only Bobby knows.
According to him he's walked maskless into countless into countless Canadian businesses on each occasion using his knowledge of freeman law to verbally defeat the store's insistence that he wear a mask. He says he's protected the rights of like minded freemen in and out of court. Consistent with "Bobby tales" we never get a case cite or a mention of the parties involved. In one comically inept tale Bobby says he helped a retiree keep his military pension after he declared himself a freeman. If the case even happened one suspects the freeman's declarations were ignored, filed and the pension office never did anything different . . .and Bobby took the credit. Third grade kids can make up better stories than Bobby. |

It's worth noting that about the same time, 2 and a half months ago, Bobby was wearing out his youtube welcome with Beth Martens he told his remaining minions that he was starting a series of lectures on the law. He asked if anyone was interested and he said he would share the details via private messages.
Now Bobby is making the same pitch. The curious thing is that there's no mention of the first round of lectures. . .things like "This is what we learned about the format the first time around", or "This time we're going to use a different media platform" or "Payments are going to be spread over the weeks this time". We didn't see any rave reviews from viewers during the first round. Bobby loves that kind of praise and usually splatters it all over the place. What happened? Were the lectures too verbose? Did Menard make his usual mistake of failing to recognize that freemen wannabes usually don't have much disposable cash? Are Canada's Law Societies hemming Bobby in? Did a first round of lectures even happen? One has to ask if All Talk Bobby has gotten it together to build these lectures and get them beyond his usual big idea stage? |

Sovereign Citizen nonsense is always the same: some grifter sells other people a seminar(s) about how to avoid paying taxes and paying for speeding tickets and such, and then the 'students' find that they can't actually avoid these things because the theory behind the seminar is false. They're left ruined, and the grifter just goes on to the next batch.
I don't get it. Why don't people just understand that paying into the system is actually good for them? |

Menard is not just selling seminars. He is offering to intercede in criminal and civil matters pending against wannabe freemen and freewomen.
Menard knows full well, as do the rest of us, that there is not one documented case of him successfully interceding in a case for the benefit of a freeman wannabe. Indeed, there are several case of freemen wannabe's getting poleaxed by the authorities after following Menard's advice. . .some of which they paid a great deal of money for. If my neighbor died after I gave him an aspirin, swearing it would cure his covid-19 infection and I then offered the guy down the block the same aspirin cure would that be unethical? Amoral? Outright fraud? |

I hope you are well, gmanontario.
A few days ago after reading this thread Bobby opined on his Facebook page that the launch of his project has been delayed and is in the hands of God. One wonders when Bobby got religion? His legal advice service has suffered a blow to its reputation by the woes heaped on his client, Lisa Chamberlain. it seems getting Bobby's help only sped up the process of regulating her dog breeding service. (http://www.internationalskeptics.com...8&postcount=94) Not a peep from the ole boy about his lecture course in common law. My guess is that the hard work involved, an impoverished client base and the real possibility that a law society mole might enroll has lessened Bobby's enthusiasm for the project. ------------------------- Dope Clock: It has been 80 days since Robert Menard promised the "launch" of his latest project. |

Yeah, but this time he really messed up someone. . . Lisa Chamberlain. Chamberlain could have saved the money she used paying for Bobby's services and spent it on cleaning up her kennel operation.
If nothing else, instead of convincing her she wasn't subject to the jurisdiction of local government, Bobby could have gotten off his fat freeman arse and helped get the kennel up to snuff. ------------------------- Dope Clock: It has been 80 days since Robert Menard promised the "launch" of his latest project. |

It's curious that Bobby, who is usually full of tall tales about his adventures in amateur lawyer land, doesn't have a thing to say about Ms. Chamberlain's situation.

As if to draw attention away from the Chamberlain case, yet another of his failures in the real world, Menard has returned to his old trick of playing poot professor. Over on his Facebook page the professor-without-a-razor is quizzing his supplants on the fantasies of freeman law. Bobby neglects to tell his mindless minions that these matters are already settled points of Canadian case law.
Is this fraud or just Moose Head induced stupidity? It is worth noting that not a word is written there about the harm caused Lisa Chamberlain by Bobby Menard. Not a word about the countless freeman wannabes brought to ruin by following the advice of the phony professor. ------------------------- Dope Clock: It has been 81 days since Robert Menard promised the "launch" of his latest project. |

Menard's new tall tale
Bobby has a new story. As always, this serial liar does not reveal where this supposed incident happened, what jurisdiction he's writing to, who his lady friend was, what motel he was walking to.. . or any other details one might use to check out his tall tale.
My suspicion is that the story is Bobby's sad attempt to gain relevancy so as to bolster a revival of his failed freeman career. And let me guess. . .in the end Bobby will claim his brilliance befuddled the authorities. I content that Bobby is, after 20 years of outright lies, doing the only thing his MooseHead soaked arse knows to do . . . promote the sale of his "letters to the authorities" and his phony legal advice service by pretending he makes his woo work. He is a liar and a fraud.

That little story he is spinning is pathetic. And what's worse than that is people will fall for it.

Bobby's working on a new line of BS to be spouted at the police by freeman when they get stopped.
He knows that the usual 'I-am-a-traveler" line isn't working and is losing popularity in the freeman community. So he's come up with a new line of BS which includes a bunch of gibberish about the Consumer Protection Act. The basis of the approach is Menard's usual fantasy that all law is contract law. My guess is that Bobby will pretend he's winning against the authorities and then sell the method to as many gullible freeman wannabes as he can. It's the same ruse he used back in the 2000's. ------------------------- Dope Clock: It has been 85 days since Robert Menard promised the "launch" of his latest project. |

Despite claiming to have spent thousands of hours reading the law Menard ignores the mountain of case law which dismisses his claims that all law is contract law and that the Canadian government has no more authority over individuals than businesses or corporations.
You can read through Meads v. Meads and see the countless times the Canadian courts have shot down the argument Menard is making: https://www.canlii.org/en/ab/abqb/do...12abqb571.html So the question is why Bobby persists in this sham? Ignorance? Mental illness or incapacity? Or is he just a dang liar looking to make a buck? ------------------------- Dope Clock: It has been 85 days since Robert Menard promised the "launch" of his latest project. |

From my own regulatory dealing with Quebec, I just realized another fundamental flaw with his "Notice".
It's not in French. Whenever I've had to fill out a form for Quebec, they haven't even had a copy available in English. They certainly aren't going to accept something submitted in English. |

As far as Bobby is concerned none of his pitch needs to make real sense.
He's getting some likes, he's got Beth Martens duped and that's all a down on his luck narcissist needs. He's hoping that dipping into the anti-vax, anti-mask subculture is a way to find potential marks for his old, failed freeman legal advice scam. What Bobby doesn't seem to realize is that every crowd he runs in eventually figures out he's a manipulative con man. ------------------------- Dope Clock: It has been 85 days since Robert Menard promised the "launch" of his latest project. |

Once again Bobby pretends that all law is contract law and that if he says so often enough it will be true. This is about the curfew ticket he claims he got a few days ago.

Need some mustard with that pretzel logic.
IANAL but I could easily defeat that argument in court by asking how exactly under the law is an infraction under a local bylaw the same as a commercial transaction. Cue the word salad preparation. |

Exactly.
Canadian case law stands opposed to Menard's all-law-is-contract-law drivel. Bobby had an answer to the problem when few years ago via Youtube he announced in his usual imperious tone that he was going to destroy the certainty of case law by challenging the commonly accepted understanding of Legal Profession Act. He announced that he was certain to befuddle the courts either way they ruled and that he was bound to walk away victorious. His minions loved his tone and were transfixed by his tortuous logic. But as usual Bobby did absolutely nothing. He never took the matter to court and never filed a single scrap of paper. Bobby never does anything. He just makes up stories about what he has done or plans to do. His run-in with the cops over his supposed curfew violation is, in my opinion, the same sort of fiction. By keeping the documentation and details to himself Bobby believes he can later claim victory. . .just like all his previous cop encounter stories. Are you getting all this Beth Martens? ---------- Dope Clock: It has been 89 days since Robert Menard promised the "launch" of his latest project. |

A Challenge
My sources in Menard World inform me that Bobby is livid over the suggestion that he has made up the story of his curfew citation in Quebec in order to boost his credibility in the freeman subculture. His buds are urging him to not honor the speculation with a response. But, it seems the ole boy is ready to pop!
So let me give ole Bobby Boy a way out of his fix. A challenge: Robert, document the details of you citation by giving us, via Facebook, a photo of your citation that clearly slows the date and time of the citation, the jurisdiction in which the citation was given, the citation number, your court date and location. Any information about the lady you say you were with may be obscured. The game is afoot! ------------------------- Dope Clock: It has been 91 days since Robert Menard promised the "launch" of his latest project. |
