One week ago, President Obama quietly signed an executive order that makes [INTERPOL] immune from the restraints of American law.
[...]
Interpol's property and assets are no longer subject to search and confiscation, and its archives are now considered inviolable. This international police force (whose U.S. headquarters is in the Justice Department in Washington) will be unrestrained by the U.S. Constitution and American law while it operates in the United States and affects both Americans and American interests outside the United States.
Interpol works closely with international tribunals (such as the International Criminal Court — which the United States has refused to join because of its sovereignty surrendering provisions, though top Obama officials want us in it). It also works closely with foreign courts and law-enforcement authorities (such as those in Europe that are investigating former Bush administration officials for purported war crimes — i.e., for actions taken in America's defense).
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?
More at Threatswatch;
For an added and disturbing wrinkle, INTERPOL's central operations office in the United States is within our own Justice Department offices. They are American law enforcement officers working under the aegis of INTERPOL within our own Justice Department. That they now operate with full diplomatic immunity and with "inviolable archives" from within our own buildings should send red flags soaring into the clouds.
[...]
Ultimately, a detailed verbal explanation is due the American public from the President of the United States detailing why an international law enforcement arm assisting a court we are not a signatory to has been elevated above our Constitution upon our soil.
Is there nothing that Obama can't do?
You are right there is nothing Obama can't do. And how about your Harper, Kate? Stating in an interview with CTV that a carbon tax could not be ruled out for Canada as Canada has to wait and see the steps the USA takes and then follow as to have a unified front to address climate change and instability. Harper is coming over to the liberal side more and more every day. Wonderful.
At what point do we stop laughing at the "new world order" predictions?
When the Belgians show up at your doorstep in Saskatchewan with a warrant for your arrest for thought crimes against minorities?
T: What's Harper's connection with the story?
Kate: AndY (missed the Y).
Talk about giving away the farm, this is the start of the slippery slope for sure. To start to give up sovereignty so easily, one has to wonder what was the reason for this "executive order". I am surprised that the Constitution defenders aren't charging the ramparts. Does CSIS get carte blanche in the US too? How about the KGB (or whatever it is called these days)?
Yes, there is something that POTUS can't do. The will of the people.
He has the will of the overlords to bow to, not the best for the people he was sworn in to serve.
Next up, Dick Cheney in the ICC dock.
"This international police force (whose U.S. headquarters is in the Justice Department in Washington) will be unrestrained by the U.S. Constitution and American law"
Why not? This current Washington administration has been "unrestrained by the constitution and American law" - why not let foreigners in on the grift.
As usual T illustrates his reason for his polical position....simple ignorance.
Reality is not whether or not AGW even exists---the US is Canada's biggest trading partner.
Regardless of how stupid, insane or just plain ignorant, US policy is it more or less dictates Canadian policy.
Living next to a giant, even a friendly giant, is not always easy...Mitchell Sharp....
"In light of what we know and can observe, it is our logical conclusion that President Obama's Executive Order amending President Ronald Reagans' 1983 EO 12425 and placing INTERPOL above the United States Constitution and beyond the legal reach of our own top law enforcement is a precursor to more damaging moves"
Yes,it is a logical conclusion that this is probably the first step in preparing Americans for the fact of "One World Government" which Obama's quiet sponsors favour.
Now, to get the Supreme Court on side.Shouldn't be a problem. Next step is the ICC.
Hmmmm
PMSH is doing what he always does....realpolitik.
And if certain leftoids can't see that, all the better.
No damage done and the ball is in Obama's court.
It would appear that PMSH made all the right moves.
Abort! Abort! Abort!
We are all zeropeans now...subject to interpol, and in the sausage factory of government healthcare. Cant we recall some of these weasel senators?
I smell 'impeachment' in the air.
I am sure the ACLU will get right on the case.
I wonder if this is enough?
Explanations decidedly in order.
Make it a good one too, slick. And stop moving your head from side to side like that, huh? It makes you look like a freakin' window display or something.
T, you hold a very superficial view of current events and politics.
There is NO way in hell US Congress is going to pass any carbon related bill as it needs a 2/3 majority to do so.
Harper knows this and thus feels comfortable in stating his policy.
I'm pretty much open to any and all conspiracy theories regarding obozo from now on. Seriously, why would a president of the United States give up sovereignty like that? What's the point? Or the plan?
And I wonder if his base that loves global governance so much will suddenly realize it means one more police force watching them?
Regarding T's lame attempt at cleverness; Harper played it perfectly - just flannel mouth some comments about carbon so as not to upset the lefties. He knows this lunacy is dying fast and obozo's dithering gives him the perfect strategy.
I got $10 that says INTERPOL will be the new repository for all things that the Democrats do not want found out. ACORN may even use it!!! What a scumbag, I hope the american people wake up and impeach this retard!
There it is folks, the reason every single person with a functioning brain started stockpiling guns and ammunition in Nov. 2008. Those with real foresight started when McCain got the Republican nomination.
Well T, we did tell you this was going to happen. We really, really did. And now that it actually -has- happened, you like a typical imbecile are trying to deflect the conversation to cover the fact that you were A) wrong and B) a real d1ck about it. When real people are getting shot by these pricks you'll be pretending its not what you wanted all along. Sorry, you are busted. Again.
Lefty useful idiots were warned, they went ahead anyway, and now The One has his own private INTERPOL force who can do any damn thing they like.
Or rather, they would be able to except for all those pesky GUNS that the stupid low class beer swilling popcorn eating Americans are so in love with. The ones that the DemocRat party has been trying in earnest to get rid of since 1968. The ones that every Canadian politician insists we peasants don't need and shouldn't be allowed to have.
Good luck INTERPOL. I want to see how y'all manage the 3AM boot through the door when the Jews inside have more and bigger weapons than you do. Anybody remember the Warsaw Ghetto? Multiply by 100 million.
Keep that powder dry, my friends.
Obama and his Czar's are continuing their mission to forever change the America.
Damn the Constitution full Alinski ahead! When the Dem's are tossed from office the damage will be too great and recovery unlikely.
This is what Obama can do.
If they are unrestrained by the Constitution and US law, so is my response if they come for me.
Ladies and gentlemen, the Gestapo is in the house.
The beginnings of a police state.
Obongo is interested in global governance because the malignant tumor that is his ego sees himself in charge of everything everywhere.
This is, in part, because he believes the nonsense in the international press about how much everyone loves him.
France and Germany have a similar attitude regarding the European Union.
Put Andorra in charge of the EU, and we'll start hearing all about French and German sovereignty.
Fill the senior posts at Interpol with Chinamen, and we'll start hearing all about American sovereignty.
"Harper is coming over to the liberal side more and more every day. Wonderful."
T
No he isn't, he just knows none of you Statist freaks will say a bad thing about Obama so he hooks his wagon to the Big Owe's dithering and it renders you toothless and useless.
What's the point?
What's the plan?
The plan has been devised thousands years ago and put on paper 150 years ago. It's published, read it.
Hey, now we know who has Obama's birth certificate...
The Bilderburg group!
OweBowLo had better watch those "bible & gun" rednecks in flyover country, as when they set their bibles down it will be for a reason, it's better to aim a gun with two hands free
grok
you probable have a good point,
to stem off an up rising may be achieved with an impeachment
I don't just want him impeached, he has to be charged with and tried for treason.
Some Globalist dupe reflexively mouths this mythology:
"as Canada has to wait and see the steps the USA takes and then follow as to have a unified front to address climate change and instability. Harper is coming over to the liberal side more and more every day. Wonderful."
Still deluded in the fraudulent Left-Right political paradigm eh? Why do you think Obama frigged up COP1% so badly? Why would he purposely PO the Chinese who the agreement hung on? Could it be because they hold a lot of US paper [debt]dollars BO's banker pals don't want back? Wake up dummy! BO works for Wall Street! Who got the bulk of his welfare hand outs? Inner city ghettos or the WS investment banks and networked corporations?
BO works for transnational investment interests and the domestic bankers who want that capital in their banks - just as most G20 leaders do.
I think it's hilarious how you lefties are so submerged in your utopian intoxication you can't see your Eco movements, labour movements and the Dem and Liberal parties are wholly owned by big finance and transnational corporate interests.
Ostrich.
In a word, frightening.
However, this is perfectly consistent with Bam Bam's administration from day one. They have demonstrated time and again what low regard (even disdain) they hold the American constitution. This simply proves it beyond shadow of doubt.
I don't believe Phantom was exaggerating with his gun comments, either. This could get ugly.
Why is this not front page news?
Some of the cattle that voted for Obama are probably starting to wonder about what is in store for them at the other end of the chute that he is herding them into. I'd love to see some of the orders he gets from Master Soros at least to see how well he toes the line.
Well said Phantom. It's becoming very clear why governments want a disarmed population. I'm glad that I live in an area where most of my neighbors are armed.
I stocked up on ammo when the price was still low. Topping up supplies now is rather pricey so time to get into reloading.
At what point do BO's violations of the US constitution get him impeached?
methinks T is on christmas break and his mum has gone to walmart. short window for him.
T, are you still around. I thought that you had taken Dianne Francis's advice.
Kate, it's now time to begin asking 'Is There Nothing Obama Will Not Do?'
Take heart ... Americans are not Canadians .. they value their freedom ... most of them anyway.
"Mark my words friends. All across America groups are forming. They are forming out of anger and out of desperation at the thought of losing America. They're not militia groups, terrorists as the Department of Homeland security would have you believe; they are Americans, loyal to the Constitution.
They are mothers and fathers and grandparents. They belong to groups like the Minutemen Civil Defense Corps, the Peaceful Resistance, the Constitution Party, the Young Conservatives, the 9/12 Project, and Grassfire. Right now they are fragmented, each focused on their own cause.
But sometime in the next two years, our government is going to do something really stupid and these groups will come together. Watch for it, wait for it -- get ready. It will happen." - From Naval Aviator, Commander Jerry Wilson
Read all of it HERE if you want to.
Hmmm, Gitmo prisoners should have Constitutional protections, all others not. Some sort of logical disconnect there.
But then, they are leftists...
US orders 35 drone spy planes that pick up conversations and fly at 35,000 feet.

Well I can't say I am surprised . . . after all the American security apparatus can't keep the Salahis from crashing White House parties, maybe the Euro's will be better prepared.
lock and load,,,,,,,,,,,,,The dinks are in the wire,,,,,light em up,,,,,,
Didn't the obamessiah propose a 100,000+ strong "civil defence" force apart from the military. This could be the skeleton of this plan. I am sure the oath of office will require these people to be loyal to the president, not the constitution.
Speaking of oaths, perhaps some of our US visitors could clarify this for us but doesn't the oath of US Service Personell require them to "protect and defend the constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic"? I think they have a great big domestic enemy and I think it's their boss!
Really, this is just another step in the destruction of the US by liberals just as running up the debt to anfathomable proportions is. Boss Soros is just waiting to short the US$ just as he did the pound, except that the amount of money will make his current fortune look like chump change. Fortunately for him, his hireling in the WH will be able to help him time it perfectly
It's an attack on the United States of America by a fifth columnist President.
He has to be stopped at some point.
Frightening is correct. I shudder for what is ahead, especially after Chittick's comment..."what is in store for them at the other end of the chute that he is herding them into." Too reminiscent of another time.
And on that topic, reminiscent of another time, anyone else enjoy the cover of the Conservative's 2010 calendar as much as I did? Even I, at 81, recognized it immediately. Bless you PMSH and family! Your sense of humour is sooooo Canadian.
I wonder if Obama is laying groundwork for US war crimes prosecutions, by outsourcing them to Interpol. This way the left gets a big bone tossed to it while Obama gets the political cover of claiming he's not the one doing the prosecuting, that he's just cooperating with the international community.
It's the only thing I can think of. Truly vile. This man is really gunning for Carter's spot as worst modern US president!
Coming to Canada soon? or is it already here?
A pig of any coat is still a pig.
This should be front-page news. Hopefull Glen Beck picks this one up and runs with it.
So now Gitmo detainees have constitutational rights, but Joe law-abiding citizen does not, if pursued by Interpol thought police, nor does the former President and Vice-President, who were acting to defend America. Further, the President has a very effective, bullet-proof repository for anything he or his questionable cohorts don't want the public to see. Obama doesn't just have contempt for the constitution and the founding fathers, but he has contempt for the American people. He is a dangerous man. It's frustrating that lefties still believe that lefty politicians are "nicer" than the right because they care more about the common man, when in fact lefty politicians use big government not to help the common man, but to control him.
Questions
What laws are INTERPOL subject to in Canada? Is INTERPOL subject to Canadian FOIPP legislation? Who holds primacy over INTERPOL data...the SCC or the ICC?
