Greenpeace claims to have shut down Greenland oil well
They evaded the police AND the Navy? Somebody is not very serious about security here.
It’s like I have long believed. These folks know what they can get away with. They know for certain that instead of bullets or mustard gas, the people they oppose will try and use words. They will not want to hurt anyone.
I guess what bothers me so much about these people, is the idea that they have ALL the correct answers, and are willing to take on the job for all of us to be saved from the threats they see looming. Like, the sky falling. Of course, only homophobic fascists disagree with them and need to be silenced as only their opinion is allowed.
These people are nothing but a seagoing mob. The only way to deal with a mob, is to exterminate it. Problem solved.
Some folks may differ but that’s how I see it.
Short video at the link.
Greenpeace claims its activists have shut down a ‘’dangerous’’ oil drilling operation by a British energy company in the Arctic.
from The Telegraph
The environmental group said four expert climbers in inflatable speedboats had evaded the Danish navy to climb up the inside of the Cairn Energy oil rig off Greenland.
The four campaigners are now hanging from the rig 15m above the icy Arctic ocean in tents suspended from ropes, halting its drilling operation, Greenpeace said.
The campaigners, who are protesting against what they claim are the ‘’huge risks’’ energy companies are taking with the environment by drilling for oil in deep water, say they have enough supplies to occupy the tents for several days.
They claim that if they halt drilling for a short time, Cairn will struggle to meet the deadline to complete exploration before the winter conditions set in, forcing the company to abandon the search for oil off Greenland until next year.
Sim McKenna, from the US, who is one of the climbers, said: ‘’We’ve got to keep the energy companies out of the Arctic and kick our addiction to oil, that’s why we’re going to stop this rig from drilling for as long as we can.
‘’The BP Gulf oil disaster showed us it’s time to go beyond oil.
And it’s this bit of quote that makes my point I believe.
Last week the campaigners said they were confronted by a Danish warship sent to protect the drilling operation in the seas off Greenland.
Greenpeace said it had been warned that the ship would be raided and the captain arrested if it breached a security zone set up in the area.
So what did happen? Nothing except that the mob has occupied the rig. Which is exactly what they knew might would happen.

WAS MCCARTHY CORRECT? WERE THERE REALLY REDS UNDER OUR BEDS?
A couple of nights ago I tuned into BBC Radio 4 to catch this program. I have no idea at all if any of you will be able to listen outside the UK.
My guess is that you can.
Give this a listen. It won’t be up and running more then 5 more days I don’t think.
According to this program, while his drinking finally did him in, he apparently had it right from the get go. He may have used whatever he had for personal political gain. ? What’s new there if he did? But the bottom line is, he did have it right. Not only did he have it right, reds were so well infiltrated at almost every level that we’re still paying the price of a left wing liberal agenda.
I’m aware that many of you already knew or at least suspected this to be true, no matter what the personal faults and demons that plagued the senator.
I think what surprised me about this broadcast, was that it aired at all. American radio doesn’t have time or scheduling for this sort of thing and so I am posting it here. The BBC does have a reputation for being somewhat liberal leaning. Maybe they are. But they also are giving airtime to a subject that clears the air for many and appears to support what very many if not all right wingers have believed all along.
McCarthy had it right. Ann Coulter said so last year and what flack she took. Remember?
There is no way to embed this so here’s the link directly below. I hope you’ll listen if you can.

http://search.bbc.co.uk/search?go=toolbar&q=McCarthy%3A+There+Were+Reds+Under+the+Bed
David Aaronovitch thinks the unthinkable about the McCarthy period.
The hunt for the so called ‘Reds under the beds’ during the Cold War is generally regarded as a deeply regrettable blot on U.S history. But the release of classified documents reveals that Joseph McCarthy was right after all about the extent of Soviet infiltration into the highest reaches of the U.S government.
Thanks to the public release of top secret FBI decryptions of Soviet communications, as well as the release under the fifty year rule of FBI records and Soviet archives, we now know that the Communist spying McCarthy fought against was extensive, reaching to the highest level of the State department and the White House.
We reveal that many of McCarthy’s anticommunist investigations were in fact on target. His fears about the effect Soviet infiltration might be having on US foreign policy, particularly in the Far East were also well founded.
The decrypts also reveal that people such as Rosenberg, Alger Hiss and even Robert Oppenheimer were indeed working with the Soviets. We explore why much of this information, available for years to the FBI, was not made public. We also examine how its suppression prevented the prosecution of suspects.
Finally, we explore the extent to which Joseph McCarthy, with his unsavoury methods and smear tactics, could have done himself a disservice, resulting in his name being forever synonymous with paranoia and the ruthless suppression of free speech.
Hearing from former FBI, CIA and KGB operatives as well as formerly blacklisted writers, David Aaronovitch, himself from a family of communists tells the untold story of Soviet influence and espionage in the United States.

What a Joke
New US sanctions against North Korea: stop selling them weapons, and no more caviar.
The Obama administration moved Wednesday to push new sanctions against North Korea over its nuclear weapons program, as Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and Defense Secretary Robert Gates showed solidarity with South Korea during a visit to the area that separates it from the North.
Clinton announced the new measures — targeting the sale or purchase of arms and related goods used to fund the communist regime’s nuclear activities, and the acquisition of luxury items to reward its elite — after she and Gates toured the heavily fortified border in a symbolic trip four months after the sinking of a South Korean warship blamed on the North.
The penalties are intended to further isolate the already hermetic North and persuade its leaders to return to talks aimed at getting it to abandon atomic weapons. The U.S. is also trying to forestall future provocative acts like the torpedoing of the Cheonan, which killed 46 South Korean sailors.
With specifics of the sanctions still being worked out, the more striking demonstration of U.S. resolve came when Clinton and Gates — in a first for America’s top two cabinet members — together toured the demilitarized zone in the village of Panmunjom.
A photo-op at the DMZ is a “striking demonstration”? Oh please.
At one point, in the Military Armistice Commission building where officials from North Korea and the U.N. Command meet for talks, Clinton and Gates stood briefly on North Korean soil while a North Korean solider peered at them through a window.
I’m sure this will go into Hillary’s memoirs as another suicidal dash, running to avoid sniper fire. BFD.
Presenting the outlines of the fresh sanctions, Clinton said the North could win “the security and international respect it seeks” by stopping its provocative behavior, halting threats towards its neighbors and returning to denuclearization talks.
Details of the sanctions are being finalized, but Clinton and other U.S. officials said they would enhance and expand on existing international financial and travel sanctions. The U.S. will freeze additional assets, prevent more individuals from traveling abroad and collaborate with banks to stop suspect transactions, they said.
The U.S. will also seek to stop North Korea’s abuse of diplomatic privileges to carry out illegal activities, notably cigarette and currency counterfeiting and money laundering, they said.
Yeah right. You want sanctions against the NorKs, make them real. No food, no fuel, no sales of nothing. And we sic our own captive gang of Somali pirates on every one of your ships that goes into international waters. This latest effort is nonsense.

Such A Help
Hey, remember a few weeks back, when it was Global Environment Day or some such crap, and I posted on how the farmers in Haiti were “celebrating” that event by burning a whole shipload full of seeds that an eeeviil corporation had sent them, because after the earthquake the Haitians were hungry and had eaten all the seeds? And how one moonbat blogger had posted on how wonderful this was, and how her fervent wish was that Cuba would be helping Haiti out completely, since there was so much food in Cuba and nobody ever went hungry?
Well ... this might just indicate a) how totally full of daydreams and dogshit® your typical leftist moonbat blogger really is, and b) just how much excess food there really is in Cuba. ie, none.
Rice Riots in Havana port, Cuba
June 25 - Reports are starting to emerge of violent clashes between dockers and secret police in Havana, Cuba over a shipment of rice bound for Haiti, claiming it should stay on the island instead. Below is a translation of an article – date 16th June – being circulated in Spanish:
In the last few days we have been receiving reports of a serious incident that took place in the loading docks in the port of Havana, in which a large group of dockworkers emphatically refused to sanction the departure of a cargo of rice, bound for Haiti. The dockers protested violently, shouting that they were not prepared to assist the loading of the ship when their children were dying of hunger (rice apparently being effectively unavailable in Havana).
Confronted with the refusal of the dockworkers, “political police” arrived at the harbour and detained the most vocal protestors. According to reports, the ship was finally loaded by reservists from the Revolutionary Armed Forces (FAR).
Seeing as how no “independent journalist” (those who report on the “activities of the opposition”) has covered this, we had to find our own means of proving it. Today, having consulted various sources – including residents in the neighbourhoods of some of the detained individuals, such as El Calvario – we can confirm it as true.Shiptalk
I guess that’s one more pile of ashes for the dustbin of history. Dream on moonbats, dream on.

WITH APOLOGIES TO MY BRIT FRIENDS BUT, WHEN IT COMES TO THIS SORT OF CRAP …..
If this sort of total bullshit isn’t stopped pretty damn soon, you really are well and truly doomed.
I am beyond anger or frustration with this kind of thing. On the other hand, to give em left handed credit, the mus-slimes did carry signs saying to hell with freedom and hell to freedom of speech. Which at that time they were themselves enjoying. Of course, THEY define what is and isn’t to be free I guess.
Imagine being “quizzed by the fuzz for saying this. But damn it, it is true. I’m not upset with the police who after all must by the shit-ridden laws passed by the commie-sars in charge here, respond to complaints. The fault isn’t theirs. As for these hand wringing asswipes who wrap themselves in a flag of Human Rights, every single one with NO exceptions should be taken out. It’s wet work sure but there are lots of patriots I’m sure who would be happy to volunteer to do the GOOD deed that needed doing.
Oh .. I almost forgot but this story just reminded me. I have some good news to pass on. It’s a week old but better late then ....
A human rights lawyer was stabbed at his home about ten days ago. He bled to death. I for one am very happy about that. When I heard the story I couldn’t help but think, YES! MORE-MORE. ENCORE!
Some may regard that as somewhat extreme. If you do, then you haven’t learned to hate enough. These slime are having a field day and have for years and look where its brought us. I say we are all much better off with ALL of them graveyard dead. If not all, then enough to discourage their followers. Alas, the west has no fist of steel. And no stomach for the job and the other side knows that. That is why they are winning.
Please note, I am speaking strictly for myself. That’s my personal take on our world and the way I see it headed. All politically correct and social engineered and run by civil/human rights leftist bastards who enjoy the power and telling others how and what to think. Well screw em!
MP quizzed by police after saying ‘wearing burkha was like having paper bag over your head’
By Daily Mail Reporter
An MP was investigated by police for inciting racial hatred over controversial comments about the burkha following complaints from a human rights association.
Conservative MP Philip Hollobone said wearing the garment was the religious equivalent of ‘going round with a paper bag over your head’.
During a parliamentary debate last month he urged the House of Commons to ‘seriously consider’ banning the garment.
Now it has emerged police received a complaint about the Kettering MP a few days after his comments from the Northamptonshire Rights and Equality Council (NREC).
Officers rang Mr Hollobone to say a complaint had been made but the Crown Prosecution Service dropped the case a few days later as there were no grounds for prosecution.
Debates in Westminster are protected by parliamentary privilege but Mr Hollobone said the complaint could have related to comments made inside or outside the Commons.
He criticised the ‘hypocritical and ‘patronising’ NREC today for championing freedom of speech while attempting to have him prosecuted.
Last month the organisation sent the outspoken MP a letter criticising his stance on Muslim women who chose to wear the burkha in public.
Mr Hollobone said: ‘It’s complete hypocrisy. They talk on one hand about freedom of speech and expression and then without even making contact try to get me prosecuted.
‘In this country you should be able to have a debate about controversial subjects without the threat of police action. That’s how democracy works.
‘I am not going to be silenced by the threat of prosecution when all I am doing is speaking out about the concerns of my constituents.
‘If this had gone to court I would have defended myself.
‘I don’t blame the police at all, they are obliged to investigate reports of crime. That’s their job. But I am disgusted that the NREC should seek an MP’s prosecution.
‘I have been in correspondence with them and offered to meet representatives of local Muslim groups but that invitation is still outstanding.
‘The issue here is the covering of ones face in public. The nihab and the burkha are not legal requirements.
‘There are large numbers if immigrant women who will not be able to integrate into the British way of life if they cover themselves up.’
On March 11 Mr Hollobone used another Commons’ debate to mark International Women’s Day to reiterate his views on the burkha.
He said: ‘This is Britain. We are not a Muslim country. Covering your face in public is strange and to many people both intimidating and offensive.’ Burkhas are worn by an estimated 100,000 of the 2.4million Muslims in the UK.
Northamptonshire Police said the complaints related to comments made at the beginning of February in Parliament, although he also expanded on them in a local newspaper.
A police spokesman said: ‘It was brought to our attention and we looked into it but the CPS decided there was no case to answer here.’

Sounds like a Heinlein novel. He actually wrote one titled ‘Revolt in 2100’. Guess we’re 90 years early.

Vilmar’s version of Aesop’s Antz and Grasshoppers
I thought of Vilmar immediately upon recovering from Mountain Dew shooting from my nose:
Once upon a time, there was a happy-go-lucky grasshopper who lived only to have fun. All through the long summer days, he would sing and dance, and laugh at the industrious ants who were busily preparing for winter. But then cruel winter came, and the grasshopper was starving. In desperation, he approached the ants’ nest and begged for food. “You should have danced less and worked more,” the ants scolded him, but then, being basically kind-hearted creatures, they decided to give him a few of their hard-won crumbs.
The next summer was exactly like the one before: Once more, the ants worked without pause, while the grasshopper sang and danced. When winter came, he appealed to the ants again, only this time, he brought his 10,000 children along with him. “It’s thanks to your kindness,” he said, “that I made it through the winter, and was able to father these little ones. Surely, you won’t let us all starve to death.”
The ants convened a meeting of their Council to decide what to do. On the one hand, they felt a certain responsibility for the grasshopper and his huge brood; on the other hand, feeding 10,000 growing grasshoppers could make a serious dent in their winter provisions.
Finally, one Council member had a brilliant idea. “Let’s just take some food from the hardest-working ants. They’ve got more than enough, and won’t mind sharing their good fortune with the needy grasshoppers.”
The Council-of-Ants thought this was a splendid plan, and quickly acted on it. As a result, the grasshoppers survived the winter, the ants congratulated themselves on their compassion, and hardly anyone noticed that the hardest-working ants, whose food had been seized, left the nest in disgust.
Summer came around once again, and once again the grasshoppers danced and sang, while the ants toiled and saved. But without the hardest-working ants to do the heavy-lifting, the ants did not get very much accomplished, and barely accumulated enough food to get themselves through the winter.
And then, one cold and snowy day, the ants heard an ominous rumble approaching ever-closer. It was the sound of a million grasshoppers, all converging on their tiny ant-hill. “Since time immemorial,” Grandfather Grasshopper solemnly declared, “the ant people have shared their winter provisions with the grasshopper people. We demand that you do so now, immediately, or we’ll destroy your nest, and take by force what is rightfully ours.”
This is how the Dilemma of the Welfare State, aka the Entitlement Crisis, came into the world.
Oh, read the source here.

This Time It’s Not A Joke
MOSCOW (AFP) – The face of Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin will adorn bottles of a soft drink to go on sale next month in Russia, the Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper reported on Wednesday.
The Stalin drinks are part of a special batch of beverages being released to mark the 67th anniversary of the Soviet victory in the World War II battle of Stalingrad, the daily said, citing the company producing them.
The Pivovar beverage plant in Volgograd, as Stalingrad is now called, will make a limited quantity of the lemon-flavoured fizzy drink, alongside two other drinks featuring portraits of famed Soviet World War II commanders.
The head of the beverage plant said he saw nothing wrong with the Stalin drinks, although historians describe Stalin as a ruthless tyrant responsible for the deaths of millions of innocent people.
No, they are not making this up. It is not a spoof from Teh Onion. It’s not even an old snarky post by the Kommisar from the old Politburo Diktat blog, which went under a couple years ago, and may or may not be living these days as The People’s Cube. The T-shirt designs seem similar, but what do I know? That design could be some old Marxist propaganda illustration co-opted for modern use.
Yessir, Stalin Soda is a real product. Moral Relativism be damned; anything to make a buck. Or a pun ... no word yet on whether flavors will include Leninade, straw-Beria, ras-Beria, or if drinking several of these will give you the Trotskies. No word yet on whether this sludge will be exported to the West Coast or most universities, where it would be a big seller, especially if they made a Che-rry flavor.
Blog The Other Russia reports that Russian veterans are peeved:
Stanislav Gorokhov, chairman of the Volgograd City Council for Military Veterans, spoke out passionately against the product.
“Before such a reckless step was taken, they should have interviewed the veterans,” Gorokhov insisted. “Really, every one of us has known much sorrow from those times. We think that we have the right to vote. Alright, Zhukov and Rokossovsky, but Stalin – that’s excessive.”
Hey, maybe Hitler Hot Dogs will be next product. Mao burgers the next chi-com-modity? Tse, they taste great on your Tung!

h/t to Townhall.com
Maybe you caught the Glen Beck show, maybe you didn’t. But if you did, and it seemed a bit rushed, quite overly parsed, you were right. His 1 hour show ought to have run 4 hours. Or if you visited Glen’s web page entry about Friday’s show, and you wondered a bit about this guy Edvins Snore, then this is for you.
This is the link to Snore’s film, The Soviet Story: Click Here. It’s a 90 minute film, and it will require you to install the Veoh video viewer, available at that link. It takes a few minutes, it’s free, and it’s clean. You may also have to install the proper codec, located over here.
Then you can watch the film. If you don’t understand spoken German and Russian, and if you can’t read Portuguese, you’ll have a bit of trouble; the film is about 80% dubbed in English. So you’ll miss significant parts, though the pictures tell the story. Besides, if you have even a passing familiarity with Spanish or Italian you can get the gist of the sub-titles.
Marxism, Leninism, Socialism, Eugenics are all slices from the same progressivist pie. Rebuild society through class warfare to make a better world for the elites. And at the very core, class warfare doesn’t mean “striving” or “converting” or “changing people’s minds through reason and debate”. It means killing them. In their millions. This film makes that point, and then things get really ugly.
(hey did you see the news? Now Obama wants to turn people against those rotten banks! Tax them! Hate them! Elitist moneybags, ruining our economy! Fire Bernanke! Probably all joooooos!!)
This is a horrific film. It is uncovered history, in the raw. It’s the story, or a story, about how things really were under both flavors of european socialism in the 20th century: International Socialism (Soviet communism) and National Socialism (Nazi Germany). The differences are very, very slight. Both were blood drenched nightmare worlds, criminal enterprises from their very beginnings. Both ideologies were highly congruent, very closely related. Snores has made a film that shows that the relationship was deeper than any of us ever realized; that the death camps began in the USSR, that the NKVD trained the Gestapo, that the Soviets supplied the Nazi war machine with massive quantities of material and food while their own people starved. And when the war was over, it was the Nazis who were the hated war criminals, while the Soviets were the heroes. Even though both had committed the same atrocities. Even though the camps were simply moved to Siberia and continued to function for decades after the war. Even though Stalin ... well, I don’t want to give too much away. All we were ever taught in school was that the two nations had a “non-aggression pact” that lasted until Operation Barbarosa, when they became enemies. All the rest was just swept under the rug, and forgotten. But the truth has been found.
In Russia today, there is a resurgence of nazism. According to Snore, in Europe, all of Europe, today there is still the socialist idea that the lesser people need to be eliminated so that the progressives can progress. There will be no call for justice against the dark horrors of Soviet brutality. Not only are such things not even war crimes in Britain, by law!, but Europe is held hostage to Russian oil and gas. And as Snore says, they really aren’t against the basic idea very much anyway.
When inferior nations are being killed, it cannot be seen as a crime, because it makes way for the more advanced nations to build a better life.
This is nothing new. It goes from Margaret Sanger, to George Bernard Shaw wishing for a “humane poison gas” to nicely murder the undesirables, to the Turkish starvation pogrom in Armenia, to the millions killed by Lenin in the Ukraine, and then to the millions of internal “enemies” killed in the CCCP by him and then millions more by Stalin, to the millions killed by Hitler, to the further millions killed by the Soviet after 1945, through Bill Ayers and his matter of fact awareness of a need for “re-education” camps that would eliminate 25 million Americans, right up to the islamofascists today with their genocide in Darfur and their desire to eliminate first Israel, then the rest of the Western world. All groups who have decided that it is their right to decide what the better form of humanity is, (the answer is ALWAYS “people just like us") and all of them utterly willing to kill millions (of lesser beings “just like you") to achieve that goal. a sangue-frio. In cold blood. And it never works, but they keep right on trying, generation after generation.
This is a European film. The Western hemisphere plays only a very small part in it. So it’s up to you to see any similarities, and then draw your own conclusions.
Watching this might just give you nightmares. Do it anyway.
Oh, and I found it really ironic that several of the ads that pester you at the top of the screen during the first part of the film ( just keep clicking the X when they show up; eventually the thing gives up ) were for russian merchandise and clothing. I followed the link to one, the russianlegacy website. And found pro-soviet and Che shirts for sale. Cuz, like, it’s just fashion man. Chill out. It never meant anything, and like, Stalin and Che are totally cool.
I think I need to punch a hippie. Or a progressive democrat. And then I might have to watch this film again.

Camp Ayers Is Only 2 Steps Away Now
This is real. The repercussions are staggering when you think about it. It is time to act. It may be too late already, but it is time to act.
While we were out Christmas shopping, and getting all wound up over the health care bill, this is what our President did:
Huh? Um, what? What’s this gibberish supposed to mean?
Obama just removed the limits that Reagan had put in place for Interpol. Now Interpol has the power to operate within the United States, completely outside any control by the United States.
In the dead of night on December 17, 2009, President Barack Hussein Obama placed the United States of America under the authority of the international police organization known as INTERPOL, granting the organization full immunity to operate within the United States.
What, exactly does this mean? It means that INTERPOL now has the full authority to conduct investigations and other law enforcement activities on U.S. soil, with full immunity from U.S. laws such as the Freedom of Information Act and with complete independence from oversight from the FBI.
In short, a global law enforcement entity now has full law-enforcement authority in the U.S. without any check on its power afforded by U.S. law and U.S. law enforcement agencies.
On Wednesday, however, for no apparent reason, President Obama issued an executive order removing the Reagan limitations. That is, 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?
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.
The pre-requisite conditions regarding the Iraq withdrawal and the Guantanamo Bay terrorist detention facility closure will continue their course. meanwhile, the next move from President Obama is likely an attempt to dissolve the agreements made between President Bush and other states preventing them from turning over American military forces to the ICC (via INTERPOL) for war crimes or any other prosecutions.
When the paths on the road map converge - Iraq withdrawal, Guantánamo closure, perceived American image improved internationally, and an empowered INTERPOL in the United States - it is probable that President Barack Obama will once again make America a signatory to the International Criminal Court. It will be a move that surrenders American sovereignty to an international body whose INTERPOL enforcement arm has already been elevated above the Constitution and American domestic law enforcement.
American sovereignty hangs in the balance if these actions are not prevented through public outcry and political pressure.
But wait, let’s just wait a second. Put the flaming torches and the hempen rope down. All the above pastes are only about section 2(c) of that document. What about sections 3, 4, 5, and 6, that Obama also waived? And what about the original version?
Hmmm ...
Ok, Reagan signed the original, here:
By virtue of the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and statutes of the United States, including Section 1 of the International Organizations Immunities Act (59 Stat. 669, 22 U.S.C. 288), it is hereby ordered that the International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL), in which the United States participates pursuant to 22 U.S.C. 263a, is hereby designated as a public international organization entitled to enjoy the privileges, exemptions and immunities conferred by the International Organizations Immunities Act; except those provided by Section 2(c), the portions of Section 2(d) and Section 3 relating to customs duties and federal internal-revenue importation taxes, Section 4, Section 5, and Section 6 of that Act. This designation is not intended to abridge in any respect the privileges, exemptions or immunities which such organization may have acquired or may acquire by international agreement or by Congressional action.
What that did was to recognize INTERPOL as an international organization, an action rather like a treaty: he agreed to give them diplomatic, nearly ambassadorial powers. But it specifically excluded from them the powers and priviledges of section 2(c), 2(d), 3, 4, 5, and 6. Which means what?
All these parts are part of US Public Law 79 291. Read it right here
It’s our law concerning diplomats, ambassadors, and people who work for foreign governments. I’ll quote bits of it if they aren’t too long and windy.
Section 2(c) is what all the above excitement is about:
Sec. 2.
International organizations shall enjoy the status, immunities, exemptions, and privileges set forth in this section, as follows:
(c) Property and assets of international organizations, wherever located and by whomsoever held, shall be immune from search, unless such immunity be expressly waived, and from confiscation. The archives of international organizations shall be inviolable.
Um, yeah, no shit. You don’t let foreigners execute their laws in your country without massive oversight. Little things like Due Process, the 6th Amendment, warrants, stuff like that.
2(d) is about taxes, and the privacy of their papers:
(d) Insofar as concerns customs duties and internal-revenue taxes imposed upon or by reason of importation, and the procedures in connection therewith; the registration of foreign agents; and the treatment of official communications, the privileges, exemptions, and immunities to which international organizations shall be entitled shall be those accorded under similar circumstances to foreign governments.
Which means, as far as I can tell, that their stuff can’t be taxed, and their communications are inviolable. What we think of as “diplomatic immunity”, but in terms of taxes. We can’t tax them, but more importantly we can’t look inside the courier bags. Reagan DID NOT extend this privilege to INTERPOL. OBAMA just did. NOW INTERPOL can keep secrets from any and all US law enforcement agencies, local, state and federal.
Sec. 3.
Pursuant to regulations prescribed by the Commissioner of Customs with the approval of the Secretary of the Treasury, the baggage and effects of alien officers and employees of international organizations, or of aliens designated by foreign governments to serve as their representatives in or to such organizations, or of the families, suites, and servants of such officers, employees, or representatives shall be admitted (when imported in connection with the arrival of the owner) free of customs duties and free of internal-revenue taxes imposed upon or by reason of importation.
Ok, again with the taxes, this time on stuff these guys import. For their own use I hope. Obama removed that, which means these guys can now bring stuff in tax free. Hey, that’s nice of him. Let it slide; it’s just a nicety. Reagan could have laid some kind of import tariff on anything INTERPOL brought in, but he probably didn’t. But he kept that arrow in his quiver just in case.
Sec 4.
This is a long windy one. Pretty much says you can’t hit the foreigners up for income taxes if they work in your country for a foreign government. And if Americans are working in your country for that foreign government, then their income can’t be taxed either, but only if our guys working over there get the same tax exempt deal. So Obama just gave them this too.
Sec 5.
Geex, did you read that crap?
(a) Effective January 1, 1946, section 209 (b) of the Social Security Act, defining the term ‘‘employment’’ for the purposes of title II of the Act, is amended (1) by striking out the word ‘‘or’’ at the end paragraph (14), (2) by striking out the period at the end of paragraph (15) and inserting in lieu thereof a semicolon and the word ‘‘or’’, and (3) by inserting at the end of the subsection the following new paragraph: [yadda yadda blah blah blah]
In a nutshell: we can’t collect Social Security on their wages either. Ronnie did not give them this privilege. Obama just did.
Sec 6.
International organizations shall be exempt from all property taxes imposed by, or under the authority of, any Act of Congress, including such Acts as are applicable solely to the District of Columbia or the Territories.
Pretty obvious: no property taxes either. Nice of Obama to hand that one over. I hope INTERPOL doesn’t have the cash to start buying up high rise office buildings.
So ... sections 3, 4, 5, and 6 all deal with pissant little tax issues. Who cares really? Let them skate. Half of section 2(d) is about taxes too. Drop in the bucket loss; it doesn’t matter. The only part that matters then is section 2(c).
Now, PLEASE READ the take on this at HOT AIR. And at least the first 2 dozen comments too.
I seem to recall the Left getting hysterical over the Patriot Act extensions that Obama finally backed. This gives Interpol a much wider operational latitude than anything contemplated in the Patriot Act, and with no accountability at all.
Ok, you may now pick up your implements of revolution and retribution. This is akin to treason. Our President has just given a left leaning, international (which begs the question: what country do they answer to?) law enforcement agency (answer: they answer to the ICC, the folks who want to try Bush and our military for “war crimes”; the group that Bush REMOVED us from, thank you - but Obama and the commies on the left (like Ginsburg of the Supremes) want the USA both part of, and subject to) ... he has just given them a pass on being bound by our Constitution when these FOREIGNERS operate within our borders. They do not follow American law. You have NO RIGHTS regarding their actions. They CAN NOT be questioned. They DO NOT have ANY judicial oversight. Jack booted thugs at 3am much?
This is a coup in the making. Prove me wrong. Please, somebody prove me wrong.
But you won’t. This is the take from NoisyRoom:
This now says that Interpol is no longer subject to the Freedom of Information Act. Their premises or staff can no longer be searched either. Their files are not subject to legal subpoena or discovery. Our government could just hand documents and files over to Interpol and Americans would no longer have access to them. Interpol can legally keep files now on all citizens of the US with no right to redress.
In reality, we have just handed over our sovereignty. Interpol headquarters in the US is currently headquartered in the Department of Justice. A ‘separate’ Interpol agency has been created in the DOJ – let that sink in for a moment. Interpol has been granted diplomatic immunity now by Obama – they have exemption from being subject to search and seizure by law enforcement, US taxes and immunity from FOIA requests, etc. This action could also be used to divulge American military secrets and a whole host of horrific practices having to do with going after our military. It’s the road to internationalism on steroids.
I contend this is the foundation for an international governing and policing body. A modern day SS here in the US if you like. Remember how Obama wanted to create a civilian police force? Well, it’s here, just from a direction I never saw it coming from. I really believe you will see Interpol police forces on US soil in the near future. It will resemble the Gestapo and their intelligence gathering techniques. This police force would not be subject to our normal Constitutional oversights – remember, no search and seizure etc. You have to admire the evil genius behind all this. Just stunning.
FUCK THIS. To hell with “demand answers” from the government. This is the same government that lies to you constantly, willfully, by force of habit, whether it’s the FBI’s “no, this wasn’t terrorism” or the legislature’s “universal health care will actually lower the deficit”. They are all liars. Screw “answers”. THIS EXECUTIVE ORDER MUST BE REPEALED AT ONCE.
We are on the very, very, razor’s edge here. One more microscopic shift to the left, and we fall into One World Socialism. And the left will rejoice, because evil Chimpy McBushitlerburton will be dragged off to the Hague. And Ayer’s camps will open the next day. And there’s already a bunk with your name on it.
It’s only TWO STEPS AWAY right now. Two jackbooted steps.
Spread the word, and clean your weapons.

war games with live ammo and German kids aged five … how the Stasi did it.
Isn’t this something else?
Can’t imagine age five. Eight maybe. But five? I can’t help but wonder, here they’re promoting sex ed. at age five and some other things by 7. But in the divided Germany kids were training at that age with small tanks and live ammo. At least according to this report. It was a very long time ago of course. But it’s still interesting. Not to worry though. Really. Now a days Europe is enrolling all their children in the church of gore.
On the whole I think I’d rather have em trained for war of a different nature.
I first found this in the Telegraph, but there isn’t any link to the story there. Found it finally at The AgeDotCom
Stasi ran ‘real war’ games for childrenBERLIN
A PROPAGANDA film made by the Stasi secret police in East Germany has surfaced showing children as young as five being made to simulate war games using miniature tanks and machine guns.
The black-and-white footage, titled The Sun Always Lives, shows boys firing live ammunition as shells and smoke bombs explode around them.
The film, made in 1977, features members of the Communist Party’s Young Pioneer youth movement. It was recorded at one of their summer camps and was intended to be shown in schools ‘’to instil true socialist patriotic values in the young’’.
The film lasts for 21 minutes, with the young participants mimicking the military manoeuvres of the People’s Army of East Germany.
At the film’s end, a live shell from one of the miniature tanks hits a wall. At this point, a voice-over says: ‘’Show your soldierly face for the socialist Fatherland as these brave warriors do!’’
Hubertus Knabe, 50, director of the Stasi memorial museum in Hohenschoenhausen in Berlin, where dissidents opposed to the regime were held, was shocked by the film.
He said: ‘’This is a perversion of childhood by the Stasi of a kind I haven’t seen before. All kids played with toy guns but this was meant to turn them into child soldiers of the sort who have raped and killed in Africa in recent years. To let little kids loose with real guns to prove a political point seems about as sick as it can get.’’
The film was found in the Birthler Archive, the repository of the remaining files of the Stasi, which was shut down at the same time as the East German state 20 years ago.
The film is being screened in Berlin, with other propaganda from the Stasi and secret service organisations in former communist Poland, Hungary and Czechoslovakia.

We were fools to think the fall of the Berlin Wall had killed off the far Left.
She’s wrong about “they’re back.”
Because the SOBs never left us. And haven’t some of us been bitching about the enemy screwing us from within for a long time?
I have wondered for a long time, just how it was possible for the left to be so well organized, that they have managed to bring us to this place we now find ourselves in. Well, I think Melanie Phillips has answered my question.
I have posted her entire editorial here, rather then only part of it . She really has nailed it.
Now where do we go from here?
I HOPE YOU WILL READ ALL OF THIS!
We were fools to think the fall of the Berlin Wall had killed off the far Left.
They’re back - and attacking us from within
By Melanie Phillips
Daily Mail
Monday Nov 9 2009Twenty years ago today, supporters of freedom and human rights cheered and wept for joy as the Berlin Wall was torn down by jubilant young Germans.
To so many, that heady day seemed to herald the emergence of a better world. The spectre of communism had finally been laid to rest. Liberty had triumphed over tyranny.
The end of the Cold War even led some to proclaim that this was ‘the end of history’ - which was to say that liberal democracy was now the dominant and unchallengeable force in the world.
East German border guards looking through a hole in the Berlin wallThe collapse of communism was actually a slow-burning process. Its moral and political bankruptcy became obvious decades before that glorious Berlin day in November 1989
However, the 9/11 attacks on America tragically proved this to be absurdly over-optimistic. The eruption of radical Islamism revealed that, while the West may have been rid of one enemy in the Soviet Union, another deadly foe had risen to take its place. So much is, sadly, all too evident.
But what is perhaps less obvious is that communism did not just vanish in a puff of historical smoke. The Soviet Union was defeated and fell apart, for sure. But the communist ideology that fuelled it did not so much disintegrate as reconstitute itself into another, even more deadly form as the active enemy of western freedom.SUBVERSIVE
Soviet Communism was a belief system whose goal was to overturn the structures of society through the control of economic and political life. This mutated into a post-communist ideology of the Left, whose no-less ambitious aim was to overturn western society through a subversive transformation of its culture.
To grasp the extent to which this has in fact taken place, we have to go back in time to well before the moment the Berlin Wall fell. The collapse of communism was actually a slow-burning process. Its moral and political bankruptcy became obvious decades before that glorious Berlin day in November 1989.
For many communist fellow travellers, the scales fell from their eyes when the Hungarian uprising was crushed in 1956. Others, over the years, lost faith not just in communism but in its less radical sister, socialism, as their core tenet of ‘equality’ proved itself in a myriad different ways to be the enemy of freedom and justice, with market forces appearing to carry the torch of liberty instead.
But as communism slowly crumbled, those on the far-Left who remained hostile towards western civilisation found another way to realise their goal of bringing it down.
This was what might be called ‘cultural Marxism’. It was based on the understanding that what holds a society together are the pillars of its culture: the structures and institutions of education, family, law, media and religion. Transform the principles that these embody and you can thus destroy the society they have shaped.
This key insight was developed in particular by an Italian Marxist philosopher called Antonio Gramsci. His thinking was taken up by Sixties radicals - who are, of course, the generation that holds power in the West today.
Gramsci understood that the working class would never rise up to seize the levers of ‘production, distribution and exchange’ as communism had prophesied. Economics was not the path to revolution.
He believed instead that society could be overthrown if the values underpinning it could be turned into their antithesis: if its core principles were replaced by those of groups who were considered to be outsiders or who actively transgressed the moral codes of that society.
So he advocated a ‘long march through the institutions’ to capture the citadels of the culture and turn them into a collective fifth column, undermining from within and turning all the core values of society upside-down and inside-out.
THIS STRATEGY HAS BEEN CARRIED OUT TO THE LETTER
The nuclear family has been widely shattered. Illegitimacy was transformed from a stigma into a ‘right’. The tragic disadvantage of fatherlessness was redefined as a neutrally-viewed ‘lifestyle choice’.
Education was wrecked, with its core tenet of transmitting a culture to successive generations replaced by the idea that what children already knew was of superior value to anything the adult world might foist upon them.
The outcome of this ‘child-centred’ approach has been widespread illiteracy and ignorance and an eroded capacity for independent thought.
MISDEEDS
Law and order were similarly undermined, with criminals deemed to be beyond punishment since they were ‘victims’ of society and with illegal drugtaking tacitly encouraged by a campaign to denigrate anti-drugs laws.
The ‘rights’ agenda - commonly known as ‘political correctness’ - turned morality inside out by excusing any misdeeds by self-designated ‘victim’ groups on the grounds that such ‘victims’ could never be held responsible for what they did.
Feminism, anti-racism and gay rights thus turned men, white people and Christians into the enemies of decency who were forced to jump through hoops to prove their virtue.
This Through The Looking Glass mindset rests on the belief that the world is divided into the powerful (who are responsible for all bad things) and the oppressed (who are responsible for none of them).
This is a Marxist doctrine. But the extent to which such Marxist thinking has been taken up unwittingly even by the Establishment was illustrated by the astounding observation made in 2005 by the then senior law lord, Lord Bingham, that human rights law was all about protecting ‘oppressed’ minorities from the majority.
None of this is to say there has been a giant, organised conspiracy to undermine Britain in this way. Admittedly, some Left-wingers did so conspire, but many others bought into these ideas for different reasons.
Of particular importance was the demoralisation of the British ruling class by the loss of Empire and the indebtedness of Britain to America at the end of World War II - a profound loss of cultural nerve that made the Establishment vulnerable to any ideas, however outlandish, that promised to bring about the New Jerusalem.
These ideas gained general traction within the intelligentsia, the universities and the media - which is why the BBC is so institutionally skewed towards political correctness.
TOTALITARIANHowever, the terrifying fact is that they form a totalitarian mindset that replicates the way communist societies clamped down on any other than permitted views. Thus the intolerance - or even arrest - of Christians opposed to gay adoption and civil union, or the vilification as ‘racists’ of those opposed to mass immigration.
This mindset also led to the belief that a sense of nationhood was the cause of all the ills in the world, precisely because western nations embodied western values. So transnational institutions or doctrines such as the EU, UN, international law or human rights law came to trump national laws and values.
But the truth is that to be hostile to the western nation is to be hostile to democracy. And indeed, with the development of the EU superstate we can see that the victory over one anti-democratic regime within Europe - the Soviet Union - has been followed by surrender to another.
For the republic of Euroland puts loyalty to itself higher than that to individual nations and their values. It refused to commit itself in its constitution to uphold Christianity, the foundation of western morality.
Instead, it is committed to moral and cultural relativism, which sets group against group and guarantees supreme and antidemocratic power to the bureaucrats setting the rules of ‘diversity’ and outlawing all dissent from permitted attitudes.
When the Berlin Wall fell, we told ourselves that this was the end of ideology. We could not have been more wrong.
The Iron Curtain came down only to be replaced by a rainbow-hued knuckle-duster, as our cultural commissars pulverise all forbidden attitudes in order to reshape western society into a post-democratic, post-Christian, post-moral universe. Lenin would have smiled.
