Thanks for the heads up Bill. Would have been nice to see Patricks feet held to the fire a bit more like asking the questions around correcting the fact checkers and never releasing a video explaining. I suppose at the end of the day there are easy excuses he could make for this regardless of what the truth is.

He crafted the interview to enamor himself with the guests and leave the tricky questions until there was almost no time left at all.

Maybe regardless of what the truth is, he has left himself out on a limb far less than Wagh did, so may have to receive the benefit of the doubt for lack of evidence if nothing else.

Interesting to hear Erics thoughts that he suspects Poornima may be behind the 1500 sample story from the very beginning. I'll look forward to any writings he might do exploring the evidence around this.

Your analogy of a trap seems apt. Its maybe even lucky Poornima's pronouncements were so bold and so easily fact checked. I imagine the way disinfo like this might normally work is simply a never ending rabbit hole with no source truth to be found but plenty of hours to be lost looking for it.

"There are multiple fact checker sites (e.g.,[1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9]) which debunked Patrick’s video, and the statement. "

Facepalm.
