British Justice, the Magna Carta and Corpus Juris
The Magna Carta, the Bill of Rights and Habeas Corpus are the foundation stones of our freedom and system of justice: you are innocent until proven guilty beyond all reasonable doubt. The EU wants to have a common legal system across Europe – and they intend that it will be Corpus Juris. Why should you be concerned?
• BRITISH JUSTICE – derived from the Magna Carta, consists of the following stages:
(i). Suspicion by the police
(ii). Investigation and the collection of evidence
(iii). Arrest when there’s sufficient evidence: you are then told of the charge against you
(iv). Trial – where you have the right of silence so as not to incriminate yourself. The prosecution has to convince a jury of your peers of your guilt: ie: you’re innocent until proven guilty.
• CORPUS JURIS – is a system derived from the Napoleonic Code, the Roman Law of Justinian and Catholic Church (Inquisitorial) Law that concentrated on the persecution and prosecution of heretics and works in the following manner:
(iii). Appointment of a magistrate to deal with your case who will eventually set about seeking evidence for prosecution
(iv). When the prosecution’s case is ready, you’ll then be informed of the charges against you. The prosecution has a huge time advantage while you are at a huge disadvantage to try to convince the magistrate of your innocence. You have no right of silence.
(v). From here on it’s somewhat similar to the UK magistrate system, but there’s no trial by an independent jury and no Habeas Corpus.
(v). The European Arrest Warrant will now force our courts to extradite a British citizen to anywhere in Europe without any evidence whatsoever of wrong doing. It can be on the chance remark of of a bystander of mistaken identity. You have no right of appeal and can be held in custody in a foreign jail for perhaps years
same and officers will apparently be able to:
a). Enter your house without a search warrant, arrest you and confiscate anything they want
b). Extradite you to anywhere in Europe on the basis of an ‘EU arrest warrant’, written by themselves, without producing any evidence against you whatsoever or going through any UK legal process.
c). If they wish, they can remain completely silent on your whereabouts: they are not required to tell anyone in the UK where you are – not the UK police, a UK magistrate or even your family (ref. 2006-4, 2006-68)
d). Hold you in custody – without charge or trial – for ‘any reasonable period’’ … which could be months or even years. The period between arrest and prosecution could be as much as three years in prison – ie: you are guilty until proven innocent. Your whole life can unravel in far less time than that, especially as there’s no requirement to inform anyone where you are or why you are held
• Your children could be taken into care
• Your home, car etc repossessed
• Your job long gone.
Even if you are released without charge, you lose everything except your debts – and could well be financially ruined.
There’s no comeback on Europol: they are not liable, or even answerable, for false arrest or even incompetent arrest. Even members of their household will be immune from prosecution – though no one can explain why…
The UK Police Force has been renamed the Police Service and recruits not longer have to swear an oath of allegiance to the people of the UK.
B). EUROJUST (EJ) is the EU prosecution agency and closely linked to Europol. It apparently has autonomous, non-accountable power to order the surveillance of any person’s letters and emails, to tap phones and to acquire, upon demand, secret intelligence from the British security agencies (MI5 and MI6).
This means that the EJ can watch any Briton it considers to be opposed to the EU.
If there’s a difference of opinion between the UK government and other EU member states, Eurojust has the self-appointed right to spy on our politicians, civil servants, press, members of the armed forces etc. Just how much the UK government co-operates already is not known. Our own security agencies may be compelled to assist them to get information that may well be passed on by EU officials to their own member states (ref. 101 Reasons for Leaving the EU: St. Mathew Publishing).
C). EUROGENDFOR (EGF) – who on earth are they? You may well ask!
It seems that until recently hardly any EU personnel in Brussels had heard of them either and they were only stumbled upon by chance. They are the Euro Gendarmerie, a paramilitary force commanded by brigadier-general Gerard Deanez, and a rather shadowy group with a very sinister potential. The EGF was very quietly formally established on the same day as Gordon Brown signed the Lisbon Treaty. It seems to be modelled almost directly on the French Compagnies Républicaines de Sécurité (CRS), who were first established in 1944 to suppress any French demonstrations against the Vichy/Nazi authorities as Hitler was, by then, clearly losing the war. The new officers were picked mainly from the prisons and were often very violent people They were reorganised in 1948 and still on active duty today retaining the same ethos (ref. 2006-98). The CRS have established a most unpleasant reputation for the uncompromising and very aggressive manner with which they suppress civil demonstrations and unrest.
Once the Lisbon Treaty is ratified we’ll lose our veto and the Commission can then allow the EGF to be deployed on our streets at some future date… (ref. 2008-12).
