About
Network for Church Monitoring (N4CM) is a progressive non-profit organization with a global mission to expose the public to the scientific perspective on some of the most compelling issues of the 21st century, such as biotechnology, population growth and climate change. Our chairman is Dr Stephen D. Mumford, the founder and president of The Center for Research on Population and Security, a non-profit based in North Carolina. Dr Mumford has decades of international experience in fertility research where he is widely published. He has been called to provide expert testimony before the US Congress on the implications of world population growth.
Declan and Lola Heavey began building this website in 2004. Declan, a former teacher from Dublin, and his wife Lola, a social psychologist from Madrid, came to England in 2003 and for two years attempted to get the project off the ground. They went on benefits in July 2005. For more than 2 1/2 years, from November 2006 through to July 2009, they were forced to live rough on the streets of London, the Department for Work and Pensions having terminated Declan’s joint claim for Jobseeker’s Allowance because he did not ‘sign on’ TWO DAYS BEFORE he was due to do so on 29 September 2006 (see blog of 21 June 2010 Department for Work and Pensions double breaches the Data Protection Act: Letter to the Information Commissioner). Declan exhausted the appeals process from the street, where his case was dismissed by the High Court (Judicial Review), Court of Appeal and European Court of Human Rights; and on 9 October 2009, three months after getting a roof over their heads, finally had his benefits claim reinstated.
The N4CM website, previously named Network of those Abused by Church (NAC), has been removed from the internet on four distinct occasions. (1) The website was suspended in March 2008 due to a SpamCop report that was drawn up the day after the Home Office denied that a warrant had been issued to intercept Declan’s communications (see blog of 14 March 2008 SpamCop reports Declan as a spammer). (2) In February 2009 the website was removed within days of relaunch without explanation (see blog of 2 February 2009 New NAC website is gone). (3) For more than two weeks in November 2009 the website was declared an “attack site” despite Google Webmaster Tools reporting the site clean (see blog of 18 November 2009 NAC website is still blocked). (4) In December 2010 the website was removed after only four months with the new web host (see blog of 17 December 2010 American sponsor pays for new server). Dr Mumford has been funding the website since December 2010.
In the YouTube video below, recorded in September 2010, Declan takes on Action for Employment (A4E) outside a branch of theirs in London (see blog of 28 November 2011 Mr Justice Mitting rules that Declan’s claim is not “Totally without Merit”). Declan and Lola are tenants in the same house MI5 whistleblower David Shayler lived in for a couple of years. According to the BBC, Shayler “caused the biggest crisis of official secrecy since the spy catcher affair”. He now goes by the name of Delores Kane and has declared himself to be Jesus. In this video, Declan and Lola are seeking to reach out to other targeted individuals in London. In 2009, the New Internationalist reported with good evidence that police surveillance and intimidation of political activists in the UK hit new heights. (The letter Declan refers to from the Queen is archived here.)
Declan and Lola’s internet connection in their flat is frequently cut, and they are also not immune to having their bandwidths ‘squeezed’ in public libraries including in the British Library, the no.1 library in the UK (see blog of 4 January 2012 Agenda to put us back to the street?). In light of the apparent outrageous manipulation of Declan’s email in undermining his efforts to secure additional signatures for his petition to the UN in support of embryonic stem cell research (a petition signed by no less than 28 Nobel laureates as well as hundreds of other distinguished scholars), their MP, Equalities Minister Lynne Featherstone, wrote to the Home Secretary in June 2010 (see here). This has yet to prompt a response from the Home Office into why Declan continues to encounter problems with his email.
A brief background on Declan and his complaint of medical malpractice against the RC Hospitaller Order of St John of God, upon which the founding of N4CM initially was based, is contained in Declan’s application to the European Court of Human Rights dated 19 October 2011 concerning the interception of his communications and directed surveillance. Declan and Lola have been served with notice for possession of their flat on 26 July 2012 by their live-in landlady, human rights activist Belinda McKenzie. They have been unable to promote their funding campaign on IndieGoGo at www.indiegogo.com/N4CM, as Lola explains in her blog of 17 March Royal Bank of Scotland Group CEO Stephen Hester requests “a full briefing” from NatWest Bank.
