Our domain nameserver records altered without authorization

We are well used to outrageous things happening to us, but what appears to be the loss of the N4CM website to our domain registrar Just Host has to be right at the top of the list. We haven't had access to the site since Friday and, through messages I continue to receive via Facebook, we have learnt there are people around the world who cannot access the site either. As from December 2010, our domain had been pointing to our web host SiteGround, until last Thursday. Now it points to SiteGround and Just Host - I have lost control of my own site!

Just Host is the same company that suspended the N4CM site in December 2010 after only four months because the site was "utilizing an excessive amount of system resources". We had paid them for web hosting and domain through to August 2015. In the continued absence of a reply from the company, this is the proof document for a complaint we are now going to finish for the United Nations under Article 19 (freedom of expression) of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights:

Our Chairman Dr Stephen Mumford hits the nail on the head with this video of an interview he conducted with the late Prof Milton Siegel, who for 24 years was the assistant director general of the World Health Organization. Discussing Vatican control of WHO population policy, Prof Siegel describes the church organisational structure as probably "one of the best organizational structures the world's ever seen". Through the N4CM website, this seriously informative video has been made available to the public for the first time.

Right to Freedom of Movement: Open Letter to the President of the European Commission

On Wednesday I visited the Irish Passport Office in London to renew my passport only to be told by the passport officer that I had to surrender all my original documents to him, despite that last December Declan didn't have to surrender any such document when he renewed his passport. In light of the interception of our communications and directed surveillance (see blog of 20 October 2011 Application to the European Court of Human Rights), I was forced to withdraw my application. The Irish Prime Minister's Office informed Declan yesterday that the Prime Minister had forwarded his complaint to the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs. However, the Passport Office confirmed in writing this afternoon that if I want to renew my passport, I must surrender my original documents to them whether I turn up in person or not.

So this is Declan's message this evening to the President of the European Commission seeking the intervention of the European Commission on the grounds that it is incompatible with EU law for a Member State to discriminate against their own citizens who exercise their right of free movement:

The video below shows just how low senior Catholic hierarchy can stoop (in this case the Primate of All Ireland), but what my blogs show is how incredibly dangerous these people are as well. They have governments doing their dirty work. And if you don't have eyes at the back of your head and are extremely prudent, the rule of law goes out the window and basically anything can and does happen. For a serious eye-opener, check out this piece by our chairman on the implications of the US Bishops' Pastoral Plan for Pro-Life Activities, their master blueprint for the infiltration and manipulation of the American democratic process at all levels of government. It's a frightening read, not because it's futuristic and far-fetched, but precisely because it isn't.

The Shame of the Catholic Church: Decades of clerical abuse and cover-up have left the Catholic Church in Ireland at breaking point. Now Darragh MacIntyre reveals new evidence of a scandal that goes to the very top of the Irish Church. Broadcast by the BBC on 2 May 2012.

Church and State

MAYOR OF LONDON RSI PROPERTY
DAY 406 IN A WEEKLY PERIODIC TENANCY
SUBJECT TO A SECTION 21 NOTICE

(SEE PARA. 3 BELOW)

1. Our 308 Honorary Associates include 20 Nobel Prize laureates. Declan and I are engaged in a project that deals with the publication of issues significant to social policy in a number of key areas, e.g., climate change, population, futurism, atheism, and free speech. Established as Network for Church Monitoring, a non-profit company limited by guarantee, our main publication, found at the website, Church and State, calls attention to subjects, not the least which have been critical of the interaction between religious and secular institutions. We have been the target of numerous threats and actions, e.g., the former resulting in threats to Declan's life, and the latter, which have led to vandalism. The various incidents are on record with the police and other official agencies.

2. There are no less than 63 Nobel Prize laureates on the Church and State website from 20 Honorary Associates, eight articles, nine book excerpts and 33 petition signatories. (For example, one Nobel laureate signed our Nobel petition in support of human embryonic stem cell research and gave us permission to excerpt from one of his books.) Our list of associates also includes 18 US National Medal laureates, and six Turing Award laureates (the equivalent of the Nobel Prize in computer science). We have published one article and excerpted from the books of seven members of the British House of Lords. And there are 31 knighted professors on the site from 13 Honorary Associates, one book excerpt and 21 petition signatories. These figures are despite the never-ending assault on our email (this link reveals the targeting of our emails to, among others, a close colleague in Washington, DC as well as space advocates and Nobel laureates).

3. This is Day 406 for us living under the threat to life of a 'no fault' eviction by Peabody Trust.[1] We live in a Mayor of London's Rough Sleepers Initiative (RSI) property. Peabody's appalling new terms of tenancy have forced us into an unstable weekly periodic tenancy that poses a threat to Declan's life and inhibits our ability to exercise our rights. Declan accumulated quite a history with the Housing Ombudsman Service before he received the Ombudsman's decision not to investigate a referral from Lyn Brown MP on jurisdictional grounds. The Ombudsman was asked to consider whether or not our tenancy has been renewed like for like; and whether, if not, it should be in light of the landlord having accused us of not signing a like-for-like agreement. The Equality and Human Rights Commission will not accept a referral of discrimination from Ms Brown, the Commission's helpline (EASS) having grossly distorted the complaint against Peabody. We no longer have pro se access to the courts (see next paragraph).

4. This eviction matter came before District Judge Ruth Fine at the Central London County Court on 30 June 2020, when both counsel for St Mungo's (the charity in effective control of our tenancy) and Declan presented their positions. Declan lost the case and was ordered to pay £1,850 in costs. A publishing colleague in America cleared these costs within 24 hours of my blog post about this hearing for strike out on a related issue that was the essence of the claim, i.e., that St Mungo's would take a phone call to confirm that we are clients of the Mayor of London's RSI programme. Within a week of the hearing, St Mungo's had agreed to take this phone call for us both, the Court having ruled that they were not obliged to do so despite our circumstances. This time we escaped bankruptcy (counsel for St Mungo's asked for £3,407.50 in costs), but consider that to seek pro se access to justice in the courts has become far too dangerous for us. Declan currently has before the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman the decision of the Information Commissioner that allows St Mungo's to continue processing coercive support plans without our knowledge or consent and that also poses a threat to his life.

5. When it comes to traffic, we have had 10.7 million hits in the past three years on Facebook; however, I left the platform on 13 March 2021 for one year rather than risk being banned for life. It is indisputable that with any sort of level playing field Church and State would have far exceeded 2.5 million hits last year. In addition to a large variety of blocks without explanation, Facebook had so severely restricted our Page's distribution by October 2020 that it was almost as good as an unpublished page.[2] Currently, we are up to their 85th block since 1 December 2015, and as usual without an explanation. This block records as one half of their 3rd double block in the first five weeks of this year that lasted 60 days. Our traffic has also been curtailed by over 2.5K blocks on access to Church and State since 26 July 2016, including 29 full distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks since 17 May 2019 that have lasted for as long as 54 hours at a time.[3] About 70% of our hits are from Americans.

"This is precisely the hard hitting kind of response needed to clarify the unfair way Facebook is treating your highly reputable site." Don Collins, Founder, International Services Assistance Fund, Washington DC

[1] Once a fixed term has elapsed, the landlord has the option to seek eviction even if the tenant has upheld their obligations in full (though of course the landlord must still apply for and obtain a county court order).

[2] 17/10/20: We have permission to publish this ISAF letter of 30 September to Facebook COO Sheryl Samberg. Facebook has so severely restricted our Page's distribution since 4 September that it's almost as good as an unpublished page

[3] Since October 2019, we have been defining a full DDoS attack as having such a high volume of up to 4-minute blocks on access to Church and State that we don't bother recording them all.
