He's a very very sick individual. He is sending letters around everywhere (in spite of Court Order). About two
months ago, he got a hold of some tabloid scandal reporter in the UK and tried to get her to do a piece on you,
Ghislaine, me, etc. linking us all up in an unsavory way. My letter to the reporter squashed the story from
appearing, but this guy is unrelenting, writing all over the place, making associations between me and your
alleged offenses, and more...
In what he sent out, he writes that he contacted your Foundation, and states that your Foundation says, "It has
supported me from time to time, and evaluates things on a case-by-case basis." He also knew about a very
private meeting (and the dates!) between the two of us when I visited you in Palm Beach a while ago. This was a
trip that Truly NO ONE knew about! So, how the fuck did he know about that???? He is an unrelenting and very
sick stalker, who has infiltrated parties of mine, cyberstalks, sends proxies, etc.
I have re-engaged my attorneys, but he is still unrelenting...
I take it that he sent you defamatory information...if so, I might need a declaration, simple, that you don't know
him, and received defamatory accusations about me, that's about it. Depends what he sent...

Dear Jeff,
I hope this finds you well, and I apologize in advance for the distressing nature of this email.
Tom McIver, who is a small time librarian in Cleveland, Ohio, who is a creationist and UFO enthusiast, has
spent more than the past twenty-five years relentlessly stalking (offline and increasingly on-line), slandering,
defaming and libeling me to just about every person, group, company, conference, foundation, or organization
that I have ever come in contact with, been an invited participant of, served on the Board of, or even been
remotely connected with.
In addition, Mr. McIver sends unsolicited letters to my scientific colleagues, business acquaintances, friends,
associates, as well as people that I don't even know. He frequently tries to get the press interested in "his
story." He sometimes uses proxies to spread false statements (so that it appears that he has multiple
independent supporters), and has caused me no end of damage to both my business and reputation. He has
fabricated statements and documents, fabricated letters and documents against me (in the last legal process
against him, the actual authors of such purported defamatory letters that Mr. McIver provided, testified under
oath, that they had never penned such letters, and had exactly the opposite experience than what was stated in
the defamatory letter). Mr. McIver lied about official documents, and put false words and statements into my
EFTA00702165
mouth that I have never uttered (putting me in a false light or appearing to be dishonest), and so on. Literally
hundreds of letters have gone out by him accusing me of almost every felon, crime, and misdeed one can think
of.
It is not my place to try to understand his psychological motivations, and I will not address them here, other
than to say, I have had scant dealings with him (certainly never any business dealings) and have only met him
a few times when I was running a public group out of Caltech way back in the 80s that was skeptical of
pseudoscientific claims and junk science. The group naturally attracted its outspoken opponents from the
fringes of society and belief. His antagonism spilled onto me from that time on and he has been like a limpet
and growing monster ever since.
Many intelligent people dismiss his ramblings, and detailed timelines (of my life, private events, guest lists,
supposed private conversations, etc) as that of a deranged individual and stalker that he truly is, but there are
others who do not know me well, and it clouds and stains one's judgment, and has resulted in many sudden
inexplicable losses of relationship and business, including in very recent times. McIver always requests that
his sent information is kept "confidential" and that it is not sent to me, but every so often it is passed on, by
someone who knows me better and thinks I should take it to "the authorities."
Several years ago, I finally realized how damaging he was being and successfully sued Mr. McIver for libel
and slander - after a period of intense discovery on all the issues, the judge stated that it was "the worst case of
libel and slander" that he had ever experienced. Mr. McIver was placed under Court Order to immediately
cease and desist, and never to speak or write about me to anyone ever again. It was a particularly harsh order.
Mr. McIver, his wife, and daughter (who I have never met), also had to sign the Court Order, as they too, were
brought in as McIver's proxies, putting up negative reviews of my books on amazon.com, vandalizing my
Wikipedia entry, and putting up libelous comments on posted versions of my talks, which were featured on
line.
Unfortunately, Mr. McIver is up to his old tricks again, spreading the same defamatory information that he
spread the first time, in spite of the Court Order, and recent orders from my attorney's to cease and desist, who
I regrettably had to reactivate again at my expense. It is our understanding that he has tried to contact you and
been in contact with your Foundation.
Mr. McIver is not a person of means, and suing will have no real economic impact on him, and the criminal
penalties for stalking and libel are not stiff. Nevertheless, I am compelled by necessity to stop his continuing
harassment, libel, slander, and stalking of not only me, but now also of Isabel, who you can imagine is
intensely distressed by his actions. In this age of lightning fast communications, someone who is obsessed can
do an enormous amount of damage armed with a computer, email access, and persistence. It is the world we
live in...
As many of you are in the public eye, you understand the problems that can be out ther. If this individual or
any of his proxies has sent you any information in any way of a defamatory nature, please let me know right
away, as we are now seeking civil and criminal charges against him.
Again, I apologize for the nature of this email, and hope that you can understand my frustration and very
intense distress in this matter.
Yours sincerely,
Al Seckel
