FCO 30/1048: Heath knew it was treason
This classified government document dated April 1971 remained secret
until it was released under the 30 year rule. It proves Heath's government knew
the 1972 EEC Treaty would lead to the loss of sovereignty, and was therefore
treason. They had a stunningly accurate picture of the EU, which never was the
EEC (an Economic Community), expecting Britain to be abolished after the turn of
the century.
The authors, all civil servants or ministers, are very pro EU, their
intent is clearly to conceal the loss of sovereignty. But they understood
perfectly it would all be abolished.
In public Heath's government all lied the treaty would not affect our
sovereignty. This includes Douglas Hurd,
still an active senior Conservative, who is also both a liar and a traitor, a
point we put to him at the Conservative Conference in Blackpool. He assured us
his connections in the legal profession would ensure he was never
convicted.
Here are just a few of the damning sentences:
Parliament controlled
11. Membership of the Communities will involve us in extensive
limitations upon our freedom of action.
For the first time. Parliament is binding its
successors.
Increasing loss of sovereignty
The loss of external sovereignty will however increase as the
Community develops, according to the intention of the preamble to the Treaty of
Rome "to establish the foundations of an even closer union among the European
peoples ".
Small threats to sovereignty, like Burgess, Blunt and Maclean's
selling secrets to the Russians, attract 30 year jail sentences. The penalty for
actually loosing even small parts of it until 1998 was "to hang by the neck
until dead."
King Charles 1st was executed for treason that was, by comparison,
relatively minor.
Lord Haw Haw (�Germany Calling� - William Joyce) was hanged for
treason on 3rd January 1946. His efforts on behalf of Germany were
tiny by comparison with Edward Heath�s.
Our law subservient
12. (ii) The power of the European Court to consider the extent to
which a UK statute is compatible with Community Law will indirectly involve an
innovation for us, as the European Court's decisions will be binding on our
courts which might then have to rule on the validity or applicability of the
United Kingdom statute.
The writ of a foreign power is not allowed under the British
Constitution, which Heath was breaking.
Predicting monetary and military union
18..but it will be in the British interest after accession to
encourage the development of the Community toward an effectively harmonised
economic, fiscal and monetary system and a fairly closely coordinated and
consistent foreign and defence policy.
If it came to do so then essential aspects of sovereignty both internal
and external would indeed increasingly be transferred to the Community
itself.
No withdrawal, sovereignty diminished
22. Even with the most dramatic development of the Community the major
member states can hardly lose the "last resort" ability to withdraw in much less
than three decades. The Community's
development could produce before then a period in which the political
practicability of withdrawal was doubtful.
If the point should ever be reached at which inability to renounce the
Treaty (and with it the degeneration of the national institutions which could
opt for such a policy) was clear, then sovereignty, external, parliamentary and
practical would indeed be diminished.
Disinformation
After entry there would be a major responsibility on HMG
and on all political parties not to exacerbate public concern by attributing
unpopular measures or unfavourable economic developments to the remote and
unmanageable workings of the Community.
Transfer of the Executive
24 (ii) The transfer of major executive responsibilities to the
bureaucratic Commission in Brussels will exacerbate popular feeling of
alienation from government.
Erosion of sovereignty
24 (v) ...The more the Community is developed ... the more
Parliamentary sovereignty will be eroded. ...The right ... to withdraw will
remain for a very considerable time. ...The sovereignty of the State will surely
remain unchallenged for this century at least.
The EU Bureaucracy will rule
25. The impact of entry
upon sovereignty is closely related to the blurring of distinctions between
domestic political and foreign affairs, to the greater political responsibility
of the bureaucracy of the Community and the lack of effective democratic
control.
The writers understanding of the future of the EU was bang on. They
wanted the bureaucracy to take over from the democracy. The loss of sovereignty
was desirable for them, legally traitors working deep inside our
government.
