The first and most obvious point to make is that this website has nothing to do with terrorism. The few instances where violent acts are mentioned is in analysis of why they take place which, whether you agree with the standpoint or not, is an attempt to address the problem.
Secondly, this communication is blatantly political and partisan and not at all the proper role of the police.
The statement “This material has been found to be in breach of section 19 of the UK Public Order Act 1986” is untrue. Some pages were found unlawful during my trial in 2008 (setting a new legal precedent) and all those pages have been removed. I was assured multiple times around the time of my release from prison that all the material for which I had not been prosecuted was lawful.
I have no desire to return to prison. My wish is to be left alone to pursue my scientific endeavours. Consequently, new additions to this site consist (generally) of:
As far as I and my lawyers can ascertain, all of the 750+ pages of this site are within the law. If there has been an oversight, and there is something which is considered not to be, I would appreciate being informed of the offending word(s) or phrase(s), so that it can be rectified. The purpose of this site is not to incite, but to provide a contrasting view to enable people to make up their own minds.
This is an opportunity to address the police directly, with a word about logos (E. Michael Jones). The Metropolitan Police and others in the “London bubble” are defying logos more than anyone. Logos is reality, reason, the natural order and the basis of Western civilisation. One can truly say that to defy logos is to defy God. Whether you believe in Him or not, logos is the natural law, and going against logos brings inevitable and inescapable consequences. I urge you to reaquaint yourselves with it.
It is not the role of the police to suppress opinions, beliefs or reasoned analysis, and neither is it the police’s job to assist in the despoliation of our homeland.
