the two defamatory Italian articles.

Ethics
in Science.
“Ethics is part of the defence
mechanism of an entrenched Establishment. Anything done in defence of an
entrenched Science Establishment is by definition ethical. Anything attempted
which threatens an entrenched Science Establishment (like pointing to a fundamental
error in a published refereed journal, and thus a flaw in classical theory) is by definition unethical.”
In science, the repeatability of an experiment,
producing the same result, is said to be important. Here I describe two cases
when, following a complaint to the Disciplinary Committee of the relevant
professional organisation, unethical behaviour by a professor when defending
the established paradigm was unanimously held to be ethical.
(Now) Professor Ching-Wen Hsue
published an IEEE article saying that a charged capacitor could be regarded as two TEM Waves travelling in opposite
directions. http://www.ivorcatt.co.uk/x885hsue.pdf
He did not reference me. I wrote to him
saying that I had previously published that a charged capacitor was
two TEM Waves travelling in opposite directions. He never replied. Later I took
my complaint of plagiarism to the Disciplinary Committee of the IEEE. Their
decision was unanimously in favour of Ching-Wen Hsue.
In December 1978 Catt, Walton and Davidson published
the seminal article "Displacement
Current" in Wireless World. In August 1979 Professor
D A Bell published a childish
article in Wireless World “No
Radio without Displacement Current”, which rubbished our article. He later
claimed he had not read our article, but the Editor Tom Ivall
said it was obvious that he had read it. Years later in 1987 I
asked Bell for permission to republish his article in my book , offering him
royalty. He refused permission. I took
my complaint to the Disciplinary Committee of the IEE, of which he was a
Fellow. The committee unanimously found in favour of Bell.
Before asking to republish, I was giving a talk at a seminar in
Bell’s university, Hull. At lunch time, my anonymous wife and I walked towards
the cafeteria with Bell. My anonymous wife got into conversation with Bell,
asking him about electromagnetic theory. He replied that he was no expert in
electromagnetism. She said; “But you were Reader in Electromagnetism in
Birmingham University.” He replied; “Well, the post came up.”
This is the kind of rubbish that does “Peer Review”
when I attempt to publish on electromagnetic theory. I am almost 100% excluded
from peer reviewed journals.

From
"The Catt Anomaly" ; “It is of course true that when brought to
account, the IEE disciplinary committee, packed with sludge members, will also
break those same rules, as it has done in the past, for instance when I
reported Professor D A Bell to them. That will also have to be publicised in
further editions of this book. The salvation of our civilisation will not be
achieved easily, and the forces of darkness will fight a determined rearguard.”
