Obama Surrenders U.S. Sovereignty: His INTERPOL Executive Order

Pajamas Media ^ | Dec. 28 | Bob Owens

At ThreatsWatch.org, Steve Schippert and Clyde Middleton have dug up the bizarre and unsettling issuance of an executive order recently signed by President Barack Obama. Executive Order — Amending Executive Order 12425, signed December 16 and released a day later, grants the International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL) rights on American soil that place it beyond the reach of our own law enforcement agencies, such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).

Schippert and Middleton note that Obama’s order removes protections placed upon INTERPOL by President Reagan in 1983. Obama’s order gives the group the authority to avoid Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests — which means this foreign law enforcement organization can operate free of an important safeguard against governmental abuse. “Property and assets,” including the organization’s records, cannot be searched or seized. Their physical locations and records are now immune from U.S. legal or investigative authorities.

If the president of the United States has an aboveboard reason for making a foreign law enforcement agency exempt from American laws on American soil, it wasn’t shared by the White House....

Is anyone surprised?

[Safrguns]

Any confirmed sitings of this organization on US soil?

[highlander_UW]

Someone needs to write a book (since there are so many examples) of the unconstitutional actions taken by the Obama admin and dem congress and senate. It'll have to be a very large book and it's getting longer by the day. This is criminal behavior and looks like grounds for impeachment.

Is there any doubt anymore about this imposter occupant of the Oval Office running amuck???

[shield]

He’s not legal...it’s time to remove him...

[Dallas59]

What a sure fire way not to be reelected.

[jimfree]

Sarah will revoke this idiocy.

[barbarianbabs]

We need codebreakers to figure out WHAT obama said to the terrorists today

[screaminsunshine]

Do they have diplomatic immunity?

[Venturer]

I doubt Obama even knows what he did.

The guy is clueless.

[massgopguy]

Just like the guy at the end of Lethal Weapon II.

Colony14.net has The Obama Timeline by Don Fredrich. He has already published Part I with references. Part II with references is online until published.

I saw this over the weekend.

The biggest concern I have seen on other forums is this;

If the outsourced mercenaries working for the state dept have immunity, will they also operate outside the US Constitution which gives the Judicial oversight of law enforcement activities?

Will INTERPol be able to arrest American citizens and hold without writ? Will there be illegal, warrant less searches and intrusions into American citizens lives?

Will the outsourced mercenaries operate from official US government lists, and will citizens disappear with no legal options?

If I read the brief right, I believe all the above will be within the powers granted by the executive order.

These guys are going to try to enter some gun-owners’ residence without a warrant and it won’t be pretty. Wonder how these pricks dress? We want to have an appropriate welcome when they show up, after all, to make them feel welcome.

[Plutarch]

There needs to be Congressional hearings on this, and pronto.

Officials need to be put under Oath, and this thing explained.

[TStro]

This is probably in step with what the Dumpocrap congresscritters want. Don’t expect any help from them. What better way to round up folks like us?

Letters from Zimbabwe-Cathy Buckle

Saturday 30th June 2007

Dear Family and Friends,
We are struck with feelings of near hysteria just coping with everyday situations almost all the time now. The past fortnight has seen a dramatic plunge in the value of our money and massive price increases of everything from food to fuel and everything in between. Top-up bills for school fees arrived barely half way into the term, medical aid costs have risen five fold and as the month end bills and service accounts come in, most people have no idea how they are going to cope over the next thirty days.

The cost of medicines are rising at least twice a week now and recently a friend buying a drug to control epilepsy paid 460 thousand dollars one day and 490 thousand dollars for the same drug, same quantity, same pharmacy on the next day. Many companies that can, have started giving their employees food supplies every month just to make sure their workers literally have enough energy to do their work. Most people in middle management and white collar jobs cannot survive more than five days of a month before their entire wage is depleted. The burden is gruelling.

Life in Zimbabwe has become unbearably tough for all but a very small elite and the government have been as good as ignoring the deteriorating economic situation for some months. This week they suddenly woke up and the Minister of Industry announced that prices had to be slashed by up to two thirds with immediate effect. The price cuts mean that goods are now being sold for less than they were purchased for and that once the stocks are sold, they will not be able to be replaced. It is a recipe for massive food shortages and already the black marketeers are rubbing their hands with glee. On Friday evening, emerging from a 15 hour electricity cut, the first report on the propaganda news was the Police announcing that they were about to start arresting wholesalers, retailers and businessmen who had not slashed their prices.

To add to the air of uncertainty , Mr Mugabe also spoke out about price increases and profiteering this week. He chose a State Funeral as his platform and was visibly angry: "We will SEIZE, SEIZE the mines," he said coldly, his face shining with sweat, " we will nationalize them. And companies, we will take them all over." The funeral at the National Heroes Acre, appeared to be attended largely by army personnel, and the venue was decorated with the usual political banners, one of which read: 'Mugabe Is Right.'

Those people who can, continue to pour out of the country, including teachers and this week came the shocking news that in one province 48 schools had recorded a zero % pass rate in recent public examinations. It is a damning admission for any country to have to make and utterly tragic that it is politics of the present that is making a millstone that will hang around Zimbabwe's neck for the next thirty or more years.
Until next week, thanks for reading, love cathy."

Sound familiar?

If it’s pan-national, he’s for it. If it’s American, he’s against it.
