7 Years in Canadian Prison for Refusing to Take Down a Website

I'll summarize, as briefly as possible.

• I'm a Software Engineer from Los Angeles.
• I was born in Florida and, therefore, am a US citizen.
• I spent four years being detained by ICE, while they tried to deport me from the US.

• In 2013, I was deported to Canada - even though I was born in the US and am not a Canadian citizen.
• In early 2016, while I was living in Canada, a website I created about my ex-wife (desireecapuano.org), got a bunch of media attention which caused a bunch of silly feminists to get all worked up.
• In mid 2016, I returned to the US and published an article on the website, which the Canadian prosecutors and judges took as me "thumbing my nose at them". They had me sent back to Canada, put me in prison and spent the next seven years trying to force me to take down the websites. I refused. The websites are still online to this day.
• In 2023, I was released from Canadian prison. The Canadian prosecutors and judges seem to have finally realized they will never make me take down these websites.
• Since 2016, the Canadian authorities refuse to let me leave Canada, even though I have no status in Canada, am not legally authorized to work in Canada, and am not elligible for any kind of "benefits" in Canada.

Other than all that silly shit, I'm just another Senior Software Engineer who specializes in high performance, highly scalable, system level, server development in C++, on Unix, Linux, and when necessary, Windows.

I'm just another smartass, jackoff who's maybe, occasionally moderately amusing, and often offensive if you're on the wrong side of what's right and proper.

I guess the main purpose of this website is to publish and expose the truth about various matters.

There are three main sections:

• Professional and Software Development: Focusing on my career as a software engineer, and whatever I feel like discussing related to computers and software development.

  This section also seeks to expose the truth of matters such as whether C++ exception handling really does adversely affect performance; and whether Java really is feasible for implementing high-performance, scalable server systems.

• Canada vs. Patrick Fox: Dealing with the seven prosecutions against me by the British Columbia government, in their failed efforts to stop me from publishing proof of their corruption, misconduct, and incompetence.

  This section includes all of the concrete, physical evidence supporting those claims of corruption, misconduct, and ineptitude. For example:

  • One time I was charged, convicted, and sentenced to six months in prison for violating a probation condition even though I wasn't on probation at the time. The BC Court of Appeal upheld the conviction - even though I wasn't even on probation 244069-6-B!
  • Then there was the time the prosecution withheld all of the disclosure material until three days before the trial and the judge refused to allow a continuance to give me time to review that disclosure material and prepare my defense. I was sentenced to 16.5 months in prison. The BC Court of Appeal upheld the conviction, claiming the late disclosure did not prejudice me 244069-7-B.
  • And the time I was charged, convicted, and sentenced to 15 months in prison for putting the Desiree Capuano website back online - even though the website WASN'T online and the physical evidence proved the police never even attempted to access the website to verify whether it was online 244069-10-BC!

  This section also covers the Canadian immigration authorities illegally allowing the US to deport me to Canada, then refusing to allow me to leave Canada. And while they acknowledge I was born in the US and have never applied for or received Canadian citizenship, they refuse to state in writing that I am not a Canadian citizen.

• USA vs. Patrick Fox: In this section, I talk about ICE illegally arresting and detaining me for four years while they tried to deport me; then, their actual, repeated deportations of me.

  This section contains actual, physical evidence proving ICE knew I was not the person (Ricky Riess from Canada) they were accusing me of being and trying to deport me as.

  This section also covers the time I was charged, convicted, and sentenced to two years in prison for perjury and false claim of US citizenship, for testifying in the US Immigration Court that I am a US citizen - regardless of the fact that I was born in the US and actually AM as US citizen. Those charges were initiated by ICE AFTER they obtained fingerprints from Canada proving I'm not the person they were claiming I was. That conviction then became the basis of my order of removal and subsequent deportation.

So that's what this website is about.
