If anyone is punch worthy in this life, it is David Shayler.
I know Rachel North. Well I know her in the capacity that she regularly posts on another forum I use, (Architect she's on urban75.net) and read her posts in the hours, days weeks and months after 7/7. She was actually on the train reading a magazine article about her fight to bring the rapist who attacked her to justice when the bomb went off.
In the years since 7/7 she's fought a tireless campaign for an independent inquiry into the intelligence failures, she's also been called a "zionist shill" and a "NWO agent" worse. They've harassed her at home, sent DVDs to her family and home address. They've sent abuse and agression her way constantly. Keep in mind this is woman who walked out of an underground tunnel with a piece of exposed bone from a wound, in pitch black.
She has also been the victim of a cyber stalker, who spent over a year harassing her, accusing her of "profiting off the death of others" and "lying over being raped", day in day out, posts on her blog, e-mails and phone messages for over a year. Her stalker after being convicted in absence, went on the run, continuing her campaign of cyber harassment aganist rachel, and a community of london bloggers came together, and asked readers to see if they could spot her stalker in cyber cafes in london, People ran IP checks on he stalker, she was tracked down. Her stalker was found and arrested in a cyber cafe in Brick Lane, last week.
Rachel North is sodding Rocky. She's come up from the kind of body blows that would floor any normal human being and then taken another, and then another. Each time she gets up and looks at the morons, aholes and vicious cruel SOBs that exist in this world and kept going forward. To fight aganist government resistant to investigation, conspiracy theorists trying to vilify you, and a stalker harrassing you, well, I don't need to tell you, she's got stones, and we should all admire her.
