Obama gave INTERPOL immunity from the Constitution on Dec 16! IMPORTANT

This was sent to me in email, I don’t know who did the analysis, but a great job. I just got another email praising "my analysis" so had to set the record straight. Marion Valentine

Signed by Obama just 6 days ago.

Quote:

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including section 1 of the International Organizations Immunities Act (22 U.S.C. 288), and in order to extend the appropriate privileges, exemptions, and immunities to the International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL), it is hereby ordered that Executive Order 12425 of June 16, 1983, as amended, is further amended by deleting from the first sentence the words "except those provided by Section 2(c), Section 3, Section 4, Section 5, and Section 6 of that Act" and the semicolon that immediately precedes them.

Here is the original EO12425, signed by Reagan in 1983:

Quote:

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.

So Obama’s Amendment turns Reagan’s EO 12425 into:

Quote:

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. 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.

Wow, that’s a lot of "except those provided by sections" deleted! So there’s NO restrictions anymore? Keep reading….

Here’s a link to Int’l Organizations Immunities Act:

Section 2(c) covers SEARCH AND SEIZURE! INTERPOL is now untouchable on US soil. Remember, the original EO excluded these exemptions! These exemptions now apply to INTERPOL on US soil.

Quote:

(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.

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/inviolable

Quote:

1. prohibiting violation; secure from destruction, violence, infringement, or desecration: an inviolable sanctuary; an inviolable promise. 2. incapable of being violated; incorruptible; unassailable: inviolable secrecy.

Section 3 exempts duties and taxation from baggage. INTERPOL now
can bring in (or out) a bag with whatever it wants in it. How can you
impose duty or tax on something inside a bag you can’t search?

Quote:

§ 288b. Baggage and effects of officers and employees exempted from customs duties and internal revenue taxes 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.

Section 4 exempts all property taxes being levied. INTERPOL can
now build or occupy whatever properties it wants within the US and not
have to pay any property taxes of any sort.

Quote:

§ 288c. Exemption from property taxes 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.

Section 5 gives immunity from any sort of registration of foreign
agents. INTERPOL now doesn’t even need to declare themselves or
presumably even need a passport to enter the US. SHADOW POLICE! Don’t
believe me? Read it for yourself! Oh and you can’t sue any of them for
any reason.

Quote:

§ 288d. Privileges, exemptions, and immunities of officers, employees, and their families; waiver (a) Persons designated by foreign governments to serve as their representatives in or to international organizations and the officers and employees of such organizations, and members of the immediate families of such representatives, officers, and employees residing with them, other than nationals of the United States, shall, insofar as concerns laws regulating entry into and departure from the United States, alien registration and fingerprinting, and the registration of foreign agents, be entitled to the same privileges, exemptions, and immunities as are accorded under similar circumstances to officers and employees, respectively, of foreign governments, and members of their families. (b) Representatives of foreign governments in or to international organizations and officers and employees of such organizations shall be immune from suit and legal process relating to acts performed by them in their official capacity and falling within their functions as such representatives, officers, or employees except insofar as such immunity may be waived by the foreign government or international organization concerned.

Section 6, last but not least, sets requirements that foreign
agents be "recognized" by the State Dept in order to receive the
immunities in this Act. Not anymore!

Quote:

§ 288e. Personnel entitled to benefits (a) Notification to and acceptance by Secretary of State of personnel No person shall be entitled to the benefits of this subchapter, unless he (1) shall have been duly notified to and accepted by the Secretary of State as a representative, officer, or employee; or (2) shall have been designated by the Secretary of State, prior to formal notification and acceptance, as a prospective representative, officer, or employee; or (3) is a member of the family or suite, or servant, of one of the foregoing accepted or designated representatives, officers, or employees. (b) Deportation of undesirables Should the Secretary of State determine that the continued presence in the United States of any person entitled to the benefits of this subchapter is not desirable, he shall so inform the foreign government or international organization concerned, as the case may be, and after such person shall have had a reasonable length of time, to be determined by the Secretary of State, to depart from the United States, he shall cease to be entitled to such benefits. (c) Extent of diplomatic status No person shall, by reason of the provisions of this subchapter, be considered as receiving diplomatic status or as receiving any of the privileges incident thereto other than such as are specifically set forth herein.

So here’s the bottom line:

INTERPOL, an international law enforcement agency, has just been
granted complete and utter "diplomatic immunity" within the borders of
the United States, courtesy of Obama. They are not subject to any
Constitutional limitations within the United States. Good luck filing
for discovery, documents, witnesses or subpoenas against a police force
that is operating outside of the Constitution in your own country!
You can’t sue them. Their records can’t be searched. They are not
subject to FOIA requests. You probably won’t even know the name of the
agent prosecuting you if INTERPOL comes to visit. And they don’t have
to tell you either.

WAKE UP PEOPLE!

I got a headache now….
