‘C’ History; how
did we get into this mess.
The European
‘Project’ was the brain-child of a British civil servant, Arthur Salter, at the
end of the First World War. He was
assisted by a young Frenchman, Jean Monnet.
The Project re-emerged after the Second
World War and its fundamental idea was (and, believe it or not, still is), that
nation states were responsible for the carnage of two World Wars. They must therefore be emasculated, and
diluted into a supra-national state, run by a Commission of wise and honest
technocrats. Hence the Commission’s monopoly to propose legislation. The ‘Project’ therefore confuses dangerous
nationalism with honourable patriotism.
Most of us
reject conspiracy theories, but the EU Project is indeed a massive deception of
the people by the political elite of Europe.
Anyone who doubts this should read a brilliant book by Christopher Booker and Richard North, entitled the ‘Great Deception’, and published
by Continuum Books, which reveals the detailed history of how the people
have been misled.
The authors
have uncovered several internal Foreign Office memos under the 30-year
rule. There is one beauty from a
senior civil servant in 1971 to a colleague, along the lines of:
“Of course this is the end of
a British democracy as we have known it, but if it is properly handled the
people won’t know what’s happened until the end of the century. With any luck, old boy, by then I’ll be
dead.”
I have space to
expose only one proof of this terrible deception, by quoting a filleted extract
of Sections 2 and 3 of the European Communities Act 1972, which is the Act, which took us into what was then the
European Common Market. It goes as follows:
“All such rights, powers, liabilities obligations and
restrictions from time to time created or arising by or under the Treaties… are
without further enactment to be given legal effect…and be enforced, allowed and
followed accordingly.
Subject to Schedule 2 to this Act, at any time after its
passing Her Majesty may by Order in Council, and any designated Minister or
department may by regulations, make provision… for the purpose of implementing
any Community obligation of the United Kingdom”.
Section
3 reads as follows:
“For the purposes of all legal proceedings, any question as
to the meaning or effect of any of the Treaties, or as to the validity, meaning
or effect of any Community instrument, shall be treated as a question of law
(and, if not referred to the European Court, be for determination as such in
accordance with the principles laid down by and any relevant decision of the
European Court)”.
Articles 226-229 of the Treaty
Establishing the European Communities (TEC) give the
Luxembourg ‘Court’ the right to impose unlimited fines if we don’t obey
everything agreed in Brussels.
Yet Edward
Heath [The First Great Deceiver] had the
nerve to promise that “no loss of
essential sovereignty” was involved in the passing of
the 1972 Act. Harold Wilson said the
same thing in the 1975 Referendum campaign.
Both Prime Ministers pretended we had merely joined a Common
Market. I fear Margaret Thatcher was
deceived as to the way the Single European Act of 1986 would be used, which
created the system of Qualified Majority Voting. She bitterly regrets it today, as I expect you know. John Major
then misled us about the Maastricht Treaty of 1992, and Tony Blair misled us
over the Amsterdam Treaty of 1997 and the Nice Treaty of 2002. It has always been essential to keep the
true nature of the Project from the British people. They
have to be slowly sucked into the embrace of the corrupt octopus, until it is
too late to escape. That is the very essence of the Project, and I hope you
will agree it is working pretty well.
