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:

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.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
