Interpol now has free reign in the US
With the signing of an under-publicized amendment to Executive Order 12425,Barack Obama has fundamentally altered your constitutional rights. His actions are undermining your rights to protect personal privacy from a foreign internationalist police agency named Interpol. A one-paragraph executive order may seem inconsequential to many,but this action has far-reaching implications and threatens the sovereignty of America.
Obama’s secretive executive order amended an order issued by President Reagan in 1983. Reagan’s order recognized Interpol as an international organization and gave it privileges and immunities commonly extended to foreign diplomats. Reagan opened the door to allow Interpol to operate in partnership with the U.S. but with significant constitutional safeguards. Specifically,Interpol’s property and assets remained subject to search and seizure by American law enforcement,and its archived records remained subject to public scrutiny under provisions of the Freedom of Information Act. Interpol had to answer to the FBI and U.S. courts under Reagan’s order. These safeguards were stripped away by Obama’s action the week before Christmas without debate or explanation. Obama picked the holiday season to make this radical change,to minimize media coverage.
This order marks a significant change in federal policy and usurps the constitutional power of our government by yielding it to an international organization. Michael van Der Galien writes,"This foreign law-enforcement organization can operate free of an important safeguard against government and abuse. Property and assets,including the organization’s records,cannot now be searched or seized. Their physical operational locations are now immune from U.S. legal and investigative authorities."
Obama has given an international organization unsupervised freedom to investigate Americans on our own soil without recourse or the supervision of our own government.
Obama has given an international organization unsupervised freedom to investigate Americans on our own soil without recourse or the supervision of our own government.
Andy McCarthy writing for the National Review asks some very significant questions:"Why would we elevate an international police force above American law? Why would we immunize an international police force from the limitations that constrain the FBI and other American law-enforcement agencies? Why is it suddenly necessary to have,within the Justice Department,a repository for stashing government files which,therefore,will be beyond the ability of Congress,American law-enforcement,the media and the American people to scrutinize?"
Interpol is the enforcement arm of the International Criminal Court,or ICC. The United States never signed onto the Rome Treaty,which created the ICC,because of the potential for abuse by foreign interests. Obama has signaled he may sign the treaty over these objections and subject Americans to prosecution overseas in the ICC. This is harmful for two reasons. First,the U.S. Constitution clearly states that it is the supreme law of our land,and allowing the ICC to supersede the U.S. Constitution violates America’s sovereignty. Second,the War on Terror is unpopular with Europeans,and the ICC may attempt to prosecute heroic American soldiers with trumped-up war crimes. Obama is putting brave American men and women at grave risk.
An added wrinkle to this executive order is that Interpol’s operations center for the United States is housed within our own Justice Department. Many of the agents are Americans who work under the aegis of Interpol. This order has potentially created the new civilian security force that Obama proposed during his campaign. This group of law-enforcement officials is no longer subject to the restraints enshrined in the U.S. Constitution.
The order guarantees that Interpol officers have immunity from prosecution for crimes they may commit in the United States. Ironically,some Interpol nations are attempting to try American intelligence agents for their work abroad in the War on Terror.
This order shows blatant disregard for the U.S. Constitution. While Obama is extending due process rights to terrorists he is weakening those same rights for American citizens. If a citizen were to be prosecuted by Interpol,their newly granted immunity would interfere with the discovery process. Since Interpol files are immune to disclosure,a citizen could be denied his right to see the information used to prosecute him or her.
Obama’s executive order has done more to weaken civil liberties than the much-maligned Patriot Act. The silence in the mainstream media on this issue should scare all freedom-loving Americans. Obama just signed away parts of our precious legal protections.
Obama must have discovered that Interpol has his birth records,hence the executive order to block all Interpol records from US search.
He actually signed the executive order on the 17th,but I'm glad your site caught wind of it. We need to figure out a way to get Obama out of office in a way that will void everything he's done since he became president. He's breached the Constitution that he vowed to uphold on more than one occasion.
We need to build up a criminal case against Obama that will either get him to resign or get him thrown out of office.
You are so right. Everyone should get a copy of "A Miracle That Changed the World –The 5000 Year Leap –Principles of Freedom 101 "by W. Cleon Skousen,written in 1981. This book shows us how far away from what the founding fathers,inspired by God,first intended for our country. Yes,we need to find a legal way to expel Obama from office.
What Americans need to do is to fully research 'progressive'.
Both Bushes,Clinton and Obama are progressives. I once thought
that progressive was the opposite of regressive. It seemed like a 'happy'term. Then I researched the movement. Adolf Hitler was
a progressive. It is bi partisan. "New World Order". One world
government.
Where would you find legal recourse? Both houses and the Supreme
Court are full of progressives. Also,an attorney told me that the only
way to take action would be only if I was personally injured. ie. an
interpol operative steped on my civil rights.
70% of the legislation passed by the legislature is unconstitutional.
The health bill,most of the patriot act,unveted tsars.
The Patriot Act was passed via the panic on 9/11. The concervatives are
all for waterboarding,cameras at every intersection,etc.
The crash of the housing market,stock market,etc.,galvanized the lunitic fringe of the left behind take overs of private business,TARP,
any and all bills which villifies successful people and business.
Elements in both the right and left have used fear to destroy the rights of American.
Go to the internet site "Impeach Obama".
Congress would have to start the ball rolling. I would muck my hand on
the chance of that happening.
It's free "rein,"not "reign."
AMEN!!!!
Oh,It's RAINING bull crap in Washinton.
Every single thing the man does is against the best interests of America.
What I don't get is the newsmedia's fawning adoration in view of the tremendous
damage he is doing. They know about these things,but to the great detriment
of us all,ignore informing the public who continue to look to them for information.
How is it possible they have basically ALL gotten that way? Are all the newspapers and TV stations owned by some anti American/communist/socialist
company? How is it possible?
He has also put our National Security Intelligence up FOR SALE:http://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/30/us/politics/30s… Moreover,Mr. Obama eliminated a rule put in place by former President George W. Bush in 2003 that allowed the leader of the intelligence community to veto decisions by an interagency panel to declassify information. Instead,spy agencies who object to such a decision will have to appeal to the president.
This president is a bigger threat to America than the terrorists that we are fighting. He has done more to destroy our nation and way of life,he is a socialist first and should never have been elected,he needs to go,before it is too late. He should be impeached for treason. Great harm will come to what's left of America if he isn't.
I am sick and tired of this fake POS muslim doing everything he can to ruin this country and destroy our Constitution. Sneaks around behind the American peoples back doing unlawful things like this. Obama is trying to take away all the laws that protect us and our country while allowing terrorist more oppertunities to come in and carry out their agendas,over run this country with millions of ILLEGALS,waste BILLIONS of dollars on illegals welfare programs,opens up OUR social security programs to illegals and foreigners who have never put a penny in the program to bank rupt it faster,waste multi-millions of tax payers dollars on trails of terrorist tryng to free them so they can go back and give info against us and fight us again. I am tired of obamas back door,closed door,secret ways of trying to destroy our Constitution,our rights and our freedom. Its past time to arrest this traiter muslim for treason among other unlawful acts he has done along with his facist,markist,commie administration and we need to throw them ALL in Gitmo before its to late! GOD BLESS AMERICA
IMPEACH OBAMA IN 2010

Be one of the signers.
I am an American and an independant conservative. Both Bush and Obama are on the same page. Both are progressives. Bush and Obama
want open borders,one world government,etc.
I want the government of our founding fathers. Period!
Oh. I might be a liberal. I joined PETA……People Eating Tasty Animals.
WE should feed them and Al Gore to those pitiful starving polar bears.
My inlaws in Oklahoma may see 2degrees tonite. That global warming
is really nasty. Of course..if they had nice,warm POLAR BEAR coats!!!!
Hmmmm.
We have a terrorist poseing as a president &he is given security for protection,plus he gets his meals,paid vacations,free travel,untold access to national secrets,he signed a paper on abortion making him a mass murder,his health care package will aid in the elimination of senior citizens so now genocide will be set in motion from both ends. obama &holder support bringing terrorist from cuba to America giving millions to relocate palenstians to calif. He pratice's racism &ends that with beer summits.
He is in control of mindless senators and congressmen. The one thing we haven't seen yet is his picture on money with a nazi emblem……..Ever wonder what really gets sold out behind closed doors when he meets with America's enemies &yet he is our number one enemy. How is the 2 top afro americans have managed to do so much damage in one year? And it all involves people getting screwed………………………
I am from Texas as well. Once into the oil thingy,now a poker player.
Anyway,If you check out what the 'progressive movement is really about you should not be suprised.
There is change and then there is fundamental change.
If I want to change my house,I can paint it. Put in a pool,etc.
If I want to 'fundamentally'change my home,I must tear it down the the
foundation.
Obama wanted to fundamentally change the US.
So do the group of white power elite behind him.
These 'power elite chose a black man so that any detractors would be labled 'racist'.
Bush,Clinton,Obama are all progressives who want a one world
government.
WELL WHAT WOULD YOU ALL EXPECT WHEN CERTAIN FOLKS GET INTO POWER ? THE PEOPLE WHO PUT OBAMA INTO POWER VOTED WITH THEIR BUTT INSTEAD OF THEIR BRAINS. NOW,WE ARE STUCK WITH TRAITOR-OBAMA AND HIS MINIONS WHO ARE DELIBERATELY DAMAGING AMERICA. NEXT NOVEMBER,WE CAN EXPECT THE POLLS TO BE RIGGED TO CANCEL OUR VOTES TO RID OURSELVES OF ALL SOCIALIST/COMMUNISTS. The Enemy is Islam;it's bitch is Obama.
So help me God,but did Barack Hussein Obama just break his 01-20-09 inaugural oath to…”faithfully execute the office of the President of the United States and…preserve,protect,and defend the Constitution of the United States”?
Yes,as did every President but Ronald Reagan.
I hate terrorists as most Americans do,but what most people dont know
is that ANY President can claim that an American citizen is an un official
enemy comb and have them reduced to a non person with no rights. They
can be waterboarded..placed into secret prisons,etc…without due process.
Denied a lawyer.(Patriot Act).
A frame work welded by fear of terrorism,the economy and healthcare is
awaiting a 'trigger'to be implementted.
Our founding fathers were un official enemy combatents.
The left is destroying the economy,while the right has made it possible to
torture,kidnap,etc all who would wish to rebel.
,obama has done nothing but use his office to "Faithfully Execute"everything America stands for. The presidents office has managed preserve,protect,and defend his agenda,he's dismantling the USA from within &can't even produce a legal born in the USA birth certificate ……………………………..
I agree Obama should be impeached along with Pelosi,Reid,the czars kicked out,and some of those senators who uphold Obama.
Go to the site "Libertyfirstpac.com"Sign up and lets impeach this monster.
From the beginning of time men like obama have worked their way to power and the resoluts have always been the same,the downfall of socitey.
I agree with Freddy,Obama myst be relieved of his duties as President and Commander-in-Chief. He has ignored the Constitution of the United States and signed executive orders without consulting Congress. I don't see how this is possible since they need to be ratified before coming into law. This guy is a loose cannon and will only cause future problems for America and her people. It would take a huge undertaking and someone a lot smarter than me to develop a petition to have him impeached,but I can't think of a better way to get it moved through the country other than the Census takers. There are thousands of people employed to take census information. What a great way to get a petition signed.
We need to get rid of this son of a bitch NOW!
How? And by what mechanism?
Obama really scares me.
We are looking at the formation of a one world government.
Makes me want to start smoking again.
….time for a beer..nite all.
Obama is here to stay. All we can do is to make sure he does not
get elected next term.
People need to get involved and vote.
As an usurper he cannot be impeached. He is neither President or Commander -in –chief. None of his executive orders are legal. No bills that he signs are lawful.
Many people in the Judiciary know he is not a natural born citizen ,or probably not even a citizen but are afraid of the civil unrest that will result if he is exposed.
I say follow the Constitution. While we still have one? What about the oaths these people took to uphold the Constitution?
These bottom-feeders don't believe in the Constitution. They think they can do whatever they want,and with the sheeple in this country,they can. Thank God (can I still say that?) more and more people are waking up.Wait until all these taxes and utility rates hit the complcent idiots- I'll bet it screws up their Dancing With The Stars night.
Our only hope is to gear up for the elections and THROW THESE DEMOCRAT BASTARDS OUT!!
I'm not thrilled with the Republicans,but right now they are our only hope. Let's elect as many CONSERVATIVES as we can,and reverse as much of this muslim piece of shit's work as we can.
My head explodes,thinking that just one person with the scratch of a simple ink pen can rob us all of our personal rights ~ a situation that our founding fathers certainly never would have intended. Shockingly,as you point out so eloquently,"Obama picked the holiday season to make this radical change,to minimize media coverage."Revelations such as this should spark concern deep within the heart of every decent American.
