How many Nobel Laureates will Declan get through to this month?
"Half a million [hits] a month with the kind of corrupt blockages you get is amazing!!"
-Don Collins Sr, President, ISAF, Washington DC
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).
It is clear from Declan's updated complaint to the United Nations last month that we are currently facing eviction; see my post of 12 July, Threat to life: Updated complaint to the United Nations under Article 19 (freedom of expression) of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. Mayor of London-commissioned St Mungo's highlighted. This situation is exacerbated by our inability to get emails through to people. This month, only three out of 27 Nobel laureates have read Declan's email (one of these three emails has just been read). Indeed, we can no longer tell when, if at all, anyone will receive an email from either one of us. Church and State topped more than 3 million hits in 11 months from January to November 2017. Subsequently, Facebook blocks against the site have gone from 47 days in 2017 to 179 days in 2018 plus 129 days this year. Nonetheless, we get hundreds of thousands of hits - 2.3 million hits in 2018 despite the equivalent of six months of these blocks; and 3.6 million hits (over 1/2 million a month) this year despite over four months of blocks. These Facebook blocks are in addition to over 2,100 blocks on access to Church and State since 26 July 2016, plus full distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks lasting for as long as 24 hours at a time. (SiteGround is paid $1,000 per year to host Church and State and manage the server.) "Half a million a month with the kind of corrupt blockages you get is amazing," writes Don Collins, President of the Washington DC-based International Services Assistance Fund, an NGO dedicated to helping women. About 70% of our hits are from Americans.
In re Email Interception
Paragraph 42 of Declan's updated complaint to the United Nations under Article 19 (freedom of expression) of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.
42. The Applicant further complains that the extent of the interference with his emails resulted in 2011 in the shelving of his and his wife's petition in support of human embryonic stem cell research, which had by then been signed by 29 (now 31) Nobel laureates as well as hundreds of academics. In April 2010, an American professor wrote to Minister Featherstone: "I am truly appalled by the unlawful violation of the Heavey's basic right to send and receive email without interference. I would be most grateful for anything you may be able to do by way of taking measures to correct this gross abuse" (emphasis added). Minister Featherstone's subsequent letter to then Home Secretary Theresa May and the Applicant's Human Rights Act claims to the IPT and European Court have had no effect; if anything, the situation has gotten substantially worse. In February 2019, 68 of the Nobel laureates emailed since the previous month had not seen their email, according to Mailtrack. On 21 April 2019, the Applicant's MP Lyn Brown acknowledged by autoreply his complaint about the interception of email but hasn't responded to it. Last month (June 2019), 155 of his and his wife's emails went unread, including four reply emails to those who had just agreed to be listed as Honorary Associates of N4CM. The Applicant has also amassed evidence relating to incoming and outgoing mail delivery. For example, in May 2017, he complained to Royal Mail about the mishandling of his and his wife's incoming mail following the loss in London of their employment contracts to the United States. He repeatedly complained about mail not being put through their letter box before he received £30 in compensation and a failed assurance from the Royal Mail Chief Executive's Office that "the actions taken will prevent this happening again". On 17 July 2018, the Applicant complained to the Office that their renewed Tenancy Agreement was delivered through the bathroom window of another tenant's flat. They can still find letters for them in the front hall of the property they live in.

On 21 February 68 of the Nobel laureates Declan emailed since 3 January had not seen their email.
Emails resent to Nobel laureates
21 February: 25 emails resent, 21 unread (4 read)
22 February: 27 emails resent, 23 unread (4 read)
25 February: 46 emails resent, 43 unread (3 read)
26 February: 2 emails resent, 2 phone calls, 1 unread (1 read)
1 March: 5 emails resent, 5 unread (0 read)
2 March: 5 emails resent, 4 unread (1 read)
3 March: 8 emails resent, 5 unread (3 read)
4 March: 8 emails resent, 6 unread (2 read)

6 March: 8 emails resent, 7 unread (1 read)
7 March: 10 emails resent, 10 unread (0 read)

30 March: 22 emails resent, 19 unread (3 read)
Totals: 187 emails resent, 2 phone calls, 163 unread (24 read)
The above statistics apply to the 68 Nobel laureates recorded on 21 February as not having read Declan's email. Since 31 March, Declan has been trying to email Nobel laureates a second time (30 unread emails) as well as those who have not heard from him previously (148 unread emails).
Not included in the figures above is an email to a Nobel laureate on 4 March confirming his listing as an Honorary Associate that went unread. This has happened four times this year with Nobel laureates, most recently on 1 April.
On 6 January the three out of eight emails to professors that were not read were to Nobel laureates. On 18 April one email to a Nobel laureate was read a record-breaking two weeks after it was sent.
Last April every category page in our Church and State website was reduced to zero Facebook likes/shares. Our 5 Most Popular articles have 5.2 million (the first 2m) Facebook likes/shares between them, not zero.
