This month all 24 of Declan's emails to Nobel laureates have gone unread (WITH UPDATE 7/9/2019)
8/4/19
Half a million [hits] a month with the kind of corrupt blockages you get is amazing!!

Our Church and State website has no less than 57 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).
3 September: 24 emails sent, 1 bounce, 23 unread (0 read)
I have just updated my court pleadings post last month. It is clear that Declan and I are battling a serious threat to the roof over our heads. This situation is exacerbated by our inability to get emails through to people. This month all 24 of Declan's emails to Nobel laureates have gone unread, according to Mailtrack. Indeed, we can no longer tell when, if at all, anyone will receive an email from either one of us. The first Mailtrack summation below shows that last month 165 of our emails sent using Mailtrack went unread (37 this month). In August we also experienced Facebook's 60th block (3 days) against Church and State since 1 December 2015, and as usual without an explanation; they have yet to remove their 59th block (126 days), which is an administrative block on my page listing all the groups I belong to. Despite opposition from Facebook, Church and State 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 163 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 4.2 million hits this year despite five 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 this year 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.) 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.
