Investigation
Do you recognize the e mail address coal.miner at virgin dot net as belonging to anyone you know, or if anyone has notified you of e mail circulation containing vicious libel about myself or AIAS? Vicious libel in law is libel that is so malicious that malice aforethought does not have to be proven. If so your cooperation with an investigation of this address will be appreciated. You may give information in confidence to the local police in your area. This e mail address seems to come from a person of standing, because it was marked “strictly confidential” and circulated to recipients without my knowledge. A person unknown informed the distinguished historian Stuart Davies of its existence. In addition to the tort of vicious libel, it is also a criminal offence – that of harassment of third parties with vicious libel, a form of cyberstalking. If someone has informed you verbally of the existence of this e mail, it is your duty to reveal the identity of that person to the police in order to counteract cyberstalking. This may be done in confidence. This kind of vicious libel has parallels in totalitarian regimes where denouncement was used to imprison and murder victims as “enemies of the People” and so on, for example Stalin’s regime. The physicist Andrei Sakharov was put into internal exile for his political views. Is this the kind of society that Britain will become? Up to you entirely. My wife’s family were denounced as enemies of the People, her grandmother was exiled with thirteen children to Siberia, ten of them died en route, and she buried them at each station. Cyberstalking and vicious libel is not so far removed from this. They were all entirely innocent.
