Is Facebook now dismantling my Church and State page piece by piece? Today Declan will try emailing 15 Nobel laureates

Our Church and State website has no less than 52 Nobel Laureates on it; for details, see this blog's sidebar under "Church and State" (updated today).

Facebook recently removed the reach I am getting from my Church and State page. Since last night my scheduling clock hasn't been accepting the number 1 in the hour slot, so I can't schedule posts for eleven hours in total: 1.00, 10.00, 11.00, 12.00, 13.00, 14.00, 15.00, 16.00, 17.00, 18.00, 19.00. And this morning all the statistics for the page have vanished.

Email interception: Only 3 out of 22 emails resent to Nobel laureates yesterday have been read. On 21 February, 68 Nobel laureates out of those Declan has emailed since 3 January had not seen their email

Our Church and State website has no less than 52 Nobel Laureates on it; for details, see this blog's sidebar under "Church and State" (updated today).

Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms formulates what is the core of free speech. "Everyone has the right to freedom of expression." In an important interpretation of this article, the European Court of Human Rights in Handyside v. UK (1976) indicated that this "freedom of expression" should be construed as follows. It "is applicable not only to 'information' or 'ideas' that are favourably received, or regarded as inoffensive, or as a matter of indifference, but also to those that offend, shock or disturb the State or any sector of the population". Such are the demands of that pluralism, tolerance and broadmindedness without which there is no "democratic society" (see Cliteur, 2010).

On 21 February, 68 Nobel Laureates out of those Declan has emailed since 3 January had not seen their email.

Totals: 187 emails resent, 2 phone calls, 163 unread (24 read)

No Nobel laureate who is recorded as having read Declan's email has been resent an email to date.

The above statistics do not include an email to a Nobel Laureate on 4 March confirming his listing as an Honorary Associate that went unread. This was the third time that this has happened this year.

On 6 January, the three out of eight emails to professors that were not read were to Nobel laureates. What a coincidence!

30 December 2018: Our emails now are getting through to no one, not to Nobel laureates or even our closest colleagues. Declan will keep trying to get through to Nobel laureates with the use of his mobile phone (WITH UPDATE 31/3/2019)

Facebook does not have a political bias? Despite opposition from the social network, our Church and State website topped more than 3 million hits in 11 months from January to November 2017. Subsequently, Facebook's blocks against the site have gone from 47 days in 2017 to 179 days in 2018 plus 32 days this year plus an indefinite number of days as from tonight. Nonetheless, we get hundreds of thousands of hits - over 2 million hits in 2018 despite the equivalent of six months of these blocks; and over 1 million hits (1.2 million to be exact) this year despite the equivalent of one month of the same blocks. Last March they blocked me from posting Church and State articles in groups four times for a total of 29 out of 31 days, and all without explanation. Tonight I received this notification (unprecedented) of their 57th block against Church and State since 1 December 2015:



There is no way of knowing whether or not the coming months will be a total wipeout from Facebook, but I will be updating this post daily with my coming postings and their treatment by them. This week it is my intention to republish ten articles by our Honorary Associate Kai-Fu Lee, who is ranked #1 in technology in China by Forbes. Our flagship article by Dr Lee can be viewed here.

Facebook blocks (in days)

179 days in 2018
- January 2018: 16 days
- February 2018: 15 days
- March 2018: 29 days
- April 2018: 17 days
- May 2018: No blocks in May
- June 2018: 14 days
- July 2018: 17 days
- August 2018: 11 days
- September 2018: 12 days
- October 2018: 16 days
- November 2018: 19 days
- December 2018: 13 days
33 days in 2019
- January 2019: 16 days
- February 2019: 13 days
- March 2019: 4 days (and counting)

Two Facebook blocks ago, on 12 February, I posted Fighting for survival in London: Facebook's concerted campaign against our Church and State website shows no signs of waning (WITH UPDATE 19/2/2019: re Block 55 DAY 8). The post contains more detailed statistics and two parliamentary letters to Facebook. It also reveals that we have been, and remain, under attack on a number of fronts. For example, the now on-off assault on our two primary laptops aside, the category pages in Church and State are under attack daily to fluctuating extent. As I point out in my earlier post about Royal Mail's service, all three of the articles below have over 1/2 million Facebook likes/shares, not zero. Tonight the first article stands at 823K, the second article at 617K (and counting), and the third article at 616K.



UPDATE 6 April (6.35pm): On 29 March I appealed this latest block from Facebook, and true to form, there has been and will likely be no response from them. This week I have shared five out of seven new articles by Dr Lee without being blocked by Facebook, so this 57th block may clock-out tonight as a one-day block. Yesterday I posted Email interception: This morning for the first time we do not receive our Mailtrack daily report in a timely manner. Yesterday 32 emails sent, 16 unread. All 16 of the unread emails were to Nobel Laureates. The post reveals a letter in June 2010 from then Home Office Minister Lynne Featherstone to now Prime Minister Theresa May about the interception of our emails. Last month we also had an unprecedented 199 blocks on access to our Church and State website; see my post of 26 March, Blocks on access to our Church and State website hit a whole new level. And we still cannot get emails through to close colleagues no matter how many times we resend them (WITH UPDATE 30/3/2019).

Re: Investigatory Powers Tribunal

The Investigatory Powers Tribunal (IPT) dismissed Declan's complaint against the secret services on papers in less than three weeks, on 1 September 2011, stating that it was "obviously unsustainable". Declan is currently working on his updated complaint to the United Nations under Article 19 (freedom of expression) of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. This is his paragraph 11.

11. The IPT was created in October 2000 by the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act and given the power to investigate any complaints against GCHQ, MI5 or MI6, as well as complaints about surveillance operations mounted by the police or any other public bodies. The Guardian reported on 5 March 2014 that the tribunal, which claims to be completely independent of the UK Government, is secretly operating from a base within the Home Office, by which it is funded. The newspaper found that the IPT had investigated about 1,500 complaints and upheld only 10, five of which concerned members of one family who had all lodged complaints about surveillance by their local council. No complaint against any of the intelligence agencies had ever been upheld. The discovery that the IPT is lodged within a Whitehall department fuelled criticisms of the tribunal that had been levelled by rights groups, lawyers and complainants. The IPT's critics complain that the secrecy is excessive and that its procedures are stacked so heavily in favour of the government and against complainants that it is fundamentally unfair. According to The Guardian, some senior lawyers have described the IPT as "Kafkaesque", while one eminent barrister has dismissed it as a "kangaroo court". The newspaper also reports that because of the secrecy surrounding the tribunal and the perception that it is unfair, many would-be complainants spurn it.

St Mungo's: Draft paragraph 36 of Declan's updated complaint to the United Nations under Article 19 (freedom of expression) of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights regarding the Mayor of London-commissioned charity

Our Church and State website has no less than 52 Nobel Laureates on it; for details, see this blog's sidebar under "Church and State" (updated today).

County Court at Central London, Royal Courts of Justice

Declan and I are housed in a flat that is part of the Mayor of London's Rough Sleepers Initiative. Alongside our tenancy is access to the Mayor's Tenancy Sustainment Team (TST) at St Mungo's. Only this January St Mungo's took us to the brink of filing a claim for discrimination in the Central London County Court; see my post of 27 January, Particulars of Claim: Declan is forced to issue court proceedings against the Mayor of London-commissioned St Mungo's without further notice (WITH UPDATE 31/1/2019). Declan is currently working on his updated complaint to the United Nations under Article 19 (freedom of expression) of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. This is his draft paragraph 11 regarding St Mungo's:

Re: St Mungo's

Paragraph 36 of Declan's updated complaint to the United Nations under Article 19 (freedom of expression) of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.

36. The Applicant and his wife's tenancy agreement was renewed again last year. They, however, are convinced that if they were not housed in a flat that is part of the Mayor of London's Rough Sleepers Initiative, they would have long been given notice to vacate. It was only in January of this year that St. Mungo's took the Applicant to the brink of filing a claim for discrimination in the Central London County Court (see Annex 16, pp. 39-42). For over eight months previous, the Applicant had been battling St. Mungo's to stabilise his and his wife's tenancy. First it was serious problems with their renewed tenancy agreement, for which St. Mungo's was morally and legally liable, and which took over two months to resolve. For over two months from late June 2018, it was problems with inaccurate case notes, which got even more serious on 1 August 2018 when the Applicant discovered that notes St. Mungo's had assured the Court the year previous had been rectified by them were in fact being held under the Applicant's wife's name. Then in January of this year, the Applicant discovered that outrageous communication notes were being held without his knowledge or consent since immediately before his and his wife's tenancy review last May. These and other matters, such as enforced joint visits, have been resolved. But supporting emails from St. Mungo's to learning disability organisations for voluntary roles for the Applicant that require no specialist skills or experience have been, and continue to be, simply ignored in one way or another by the recipients in and out of the London Borough of Newham in which the Applicant lives. And this notwithstanding that the Applicant has been provided with a high-quality written reference from a professional referee to be used for this specific purpose (see Annex 17, p. 43).

To Whom It May Concern:

I have become aware that my colleague, Declan Heavey, a highly educated professional, has come to need a reference for Newham Council (Active Newham) to find him voluntary work within Newham with children and adults with learning disabilities in a sport setting.

Declan's credentials for this sort of voluntary work are impressive. He is an accredited UK Athletics assistant coach with a DBS certificate for such a voluntary position. He is also a former physical education teacher, who has taught in one of Ireland's top schools (Glenstal Abbey) and set up and ran an unprecedented national network of 26 summer schools called Adventure Ireland that catered for over 4,000 children aged 6-14.

I have read with interest a Republic of Ireland newspaper article about Adventure Ireland that speaks of an admirable 'reconciliation scheme' for the involvement of a large number of children from Northern Ireland. Under this scheme, southern locations catered for children from Northern Ireland accompanied by experienced youth workers known by the children themselves. I understand and have no doubt that this scheme attracted considerable local media coverage both sides of the border between the two countries.

Declan manages an extensive website to which many contribute significant articles that bear on the general welfare of people everywhere. The site gets hundreds of thousands of hits and is a favorite of mine and many Nobelists. In fact, the site has no less than 40 Nobelists on it, as well as a distinguished list of 183 Honorary Associates to date that includes 2 Nobelists and 7 academics with knighthoods under the British royal honors system.

I have met Declan and known him for more than 7 years and I can attest to his strength of character. He is an outstanding and active citizen with a great commitment to community. He is highly responsible, loyal and trustworthy, and has exceptional organisational and management skills. I am pleased to report that my association with him has convinced me that he would provide a worthy addition to serving children and adults with learning disabilities in a sport setting.

Should you wish for more information from me, kindly email me at this address.

Sincerely,　

Donald A. Collins

Last May St Mungo's made the international press for all the wrong reasons. They are accused of helping to get rough sleepers arrested and deported. When the story came through my Russia Today (RT) news feed, it left Declan gob smacked. He subsequently spoke with Diane Taylor, the journalist covering the story for the Guardian.

So far this month we have had an unprecedented 143 blocks on access to our Church and State website, and we still cannot get emails through to close colleagues no matter how many times we resend them. On 17 March, I posted Enough is enough: Declan is updating his complaint to the United Nations last year (WITH UPDATE 17/3/2019). The post reveals Declan's draft cover letter to the High Commissioner for Human Rights under Article 19 (freedom of expression) of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. We subsequently had an unprecedented escalation of 68 blocks on access to Church and State in one week last week. The previous record for these blocks in one week had been 52 blocks at the end of April 2017 that kicked off with our focus on the Danish Cartoon Crisis.

On 6 January, the three out of eight emails to professors that were not read were to Nobel laureates. What a coincidence!

Enough is enough: Declan is updating his complaint to the United Nations last year (WITH UPDATE 17/3/2019)

Our Church and State website has no less than 52 Nobel Laureates on it; for details, see this blog's sidebar under "Church and State" (updated today).

Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms formulates what is the core of free speech. "Everyone has the right to freedom of expression." In an important interpretation of this article, the European Court of Human Rights in Handyside v. UK (1976) indicated that this "freedom of expression" should be construed as follows. It "is applicable not only to 'information' or 'ideas' that are favourably received, or regarded as inoffensive, or as a matter of indifference, but also to those that offend, shock or disturb the State or any sector of the population". Such are the demands of that pluralism, tolerance and broadmindedness without which there is no "democratic society" (see Cliteur, 2010).

Previous post's Update:

17 March (12.58am): Four blocks on access to Church and State already this morning. Declan has decided that enough is enough and it's time to update his complaint to the United Nations last May. The past year for us has been nothing but shambolic. See, for example, my previous post of 10 March, The assault on our emails to our closest colleagues continues unabated. Without a doubt, the assault over the last three months on our email will feature prominently in this updated complaint to the UN under Article 19 (freedom of expression) of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.

12 March (previous post): Now I cannot post anything in my Facebook wall using my Chrome browser. And blocks on access to our Church and State website continue to escalate (WITH UPDATE 17/3/2019)

Her Excellency Michelle Bachelet Jeria
High Commissioner for Human Rights
Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights
Palais Wilson
52 rue des Pâquis

Switzerland

March 2019

Your Excellency,

I write as the Managing Director of the non-profit Network for Church Monitoring to ask you to urge the United Kingdom to accede to the First Optional Protocol to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), the multilateral treaty that commits its parties to respect the civil and political rights of individuals, including the right to freedom of expression enshrined in Article 19 ICCPR and construed by the European Court of Human Rights in Handyside v. United Kingdom (1976).

The First Optional Protocol sets out a system by which the UN's Human Rights Committee can receive and consider complaints from individuals who allege a violation of the ICCPR. But since the UK Government has not ratified the First Optional Protocol, individuals living in the UK are not currently permitted to submit written communications to the Committee. Indeed, the UK is the only European Union member state (prior to its exit from the EU in 2019) and one of only three members of the Council of Europe not to have acceded to the Protocol.

My wife and I complain of an orchestrated campaign of harassment and intimidation by the UK's Security Service (MI5) and/or Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) over a period dating back to 2003. We have exhausted all available domestic remedies and my claim has been dismissed by the European Court on the ground that it "did not disclose any appearance of a violation of the rights and freedoms set out in the Convention or its Protocols". Please see my Communication enclosed herewith. Paragraphs 49-55 outline why the Vatican and the hierarchy of the Catholic Church should be monitored.

We note the UK Government's response cited in the sixth periodic report under the ICCPR, in which it states that the UK Government does not see "a compelling need to accept individual petition to the UN" and that it is the UK Government's view in this regard that "the practical value to the individual citizen is unclear". We believe that the UK Government should be urged to reconsider accession to the First Optional Protocol in order to guarantee effective and consistent protection of the full range of ICCPR rights to those living within its borders.

Yours sincerely,

Declan Heavey
Managing Director
Network for Church Monitoring

We pay British Telecom £900 per year for broadband.

Update Summation 9 March 2019

306 internet cuts since 26 May 2017 (173 cuts 2017; 122 cuts 2018; 11 cuts 2019). With an all-time record-equalling 7 cuts in one day on 19 June 2018; 22 cuts in May 2018 that included on 8 May the 3rd ever 1/2 hour cut on the same day as Declan's updated complaint to the UN; 16 cuts in August 2018 that included on 17 August an all-time record-breaking cut of 3 1/4 hours; 5 cuts last month that includes Facebook's 56th block against our Church and State website since 1 December 2015; 2 cuts this month (as of 9 March at 12.16am).

* All cuts on old BT router (including in 2019). We have yet to install the BT router we received on 19 August 2018. The bandwidth on our 2nd BT YouView box is seldom sufficient to watch a various number of TV channels (and because of this, our TV usually operates off our TV aerial or our TV viewing restricted to the BBC iPlayer, i.e. when players and apps have not also been disabled, as has occurred 38 times since 10 December 2018 and for up to two days at a time). The fluctuating bandwidth on our 2nd BT YouView box – or the more extreme disconnection of the box from the internet whilst we are already connected online through the router (as has now occurred 4 times) – has been from the day after we received the box on 8 September 2017, and remains, a constant reminder with respect to whatever BT router we choose to use for our laptops. On 7 February our TV players and apps were disabled an unprecedented 15 times in one night. They are currently disabled through disconnection of the box from the internet notwithstanding that we are currently connected online through the router (Day 2).

Re: GCHQ

Paragraph 12 of Declan's updated complaint to the United Nations under Article 19 (freedom of expression) of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.

12. It is important to underscore that the discriminatory surveillance suffered by the Applicant and his wife is not an isolated event. Rather, it is emblematic of a larger pattern of surveillance by law enforcement officials in the UK that has been well-documented by international and domestic human rights bodies. For example, GCHQ's Joint Threat Research Intelligence Group (JTRIG) specialises in the "4 D's": deny, disrupt, degrade, deceive. It has been branded by the press as the spy agency's "deception unit". Though its existence was secret until 2014, JTRIG has developed a distinctive profile in the public understanding, after documents from NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden revealed that the unit had engaged in "dirty tricks" like deploying sexual "honey traps" designed to discredit targets, launching denial-of-service attacks to shut down Internet chat rooms, pushing veiled propaganda onto social networks and generally warping discourse online. Previous reporting on GCHQ established its focus on what it regards as political radicalism. Beyond JTRIG's targeting of Anonymous, other parts of GCHQ targeted political activists and groups deemed to be "radical", even monitoring human rights NGOs. Simon Davies, founder of the London-based Privacy International, asks: "If spying on human rights NGOs isn't off limits for GCHQ, then what is?"

No Nobel laureate who is recorded as having read Declan's email has been resent an email to date.

The above statistics do not include an email to a Nobel Laureate on 4 March confirming his listing as an Honorary Associate that went unread. This was the third time that this has happened this year.

On 6 January, the three out of eight emails to professors that were not read were to Nobel laureates. What a coincidence!
