Wither Sovereignty? Executive Order Amended to Immunize INTERPOL In America-Is The ICC Next? Last Thursday, December 17, 2009, The White House released an Executive Order "Amending Executive Order 12425." It grants INTERPOL (International Criminal Police Organization) a new level of full diplomatic immunity afforded to foreign embassies and select other "International Organizations" as set forth in the United States International Organizations Immunities Act of 1945. By removing language from President Reagan's 1983 Executive Order 12425, this international law enforcement body now operates - now operates - on American soil beyond the reach of our own top law enforcement arm, the...

At least 10 states are now raising questions about the legality of the deal that Senator Ben Nelson, a Democrat, cut for his home state of Nebraska during the health care negotiations. Under the agreement, which is on the verge of being approved Thursday by the Senate, Nebraska is permanently exempt from paying for its expansion of Medicaid, shoving that cost onto taxpayers in every other state. Mr. Nelson was able to exercise such leverage because in exchange, he was providing the magical 60th vote that Democrats needed to advance their health care bill. The deal has enraged other Senators,...

Senate Democrats have been defending a deal they cut with Sen. Ben Nelson, D-Neb., to gain his vote for their health care bill. The provision calls for the federal government to fund the entire cost of expanding Medicaid in his state. Senate Republicans have slammed the provision as unfair because other states, including Texas, would have to shoulder part of the cost of expanding Medicaid to cover millions of uninsured people. Now Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott, joined by Republican AGs in six other states, is questioning whether such a deal is constitutional. In a statement released late Tuesday, Abbott...

OKLAHOMA CITY - The voters of Oklahoma will have the opportunity to preserve the existing health care system in Oklahoma under legislation sought by three state legislators. State Reps. Mike Ritze and Mike Reynolds and state Sen. Randy Brogdon announced today that they will file legislation enacting the "Freedom of Healthcare Choice Act," allowing voters to preserve the existing healthcare system in Oklahoma regardless of congressional action at the federal level. The legislation will allow a vote of the people to opt out of the proposed federal system. "It's clear the overwhelming majority of Americans want the current doctor-patient relationship...

EO: AMENDING EXECUTIVE ORDER 12425 DESIGNATING INTERPOL AS A PUBLIC INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION 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...

President Barack Obama and his administration have shown in the past nine months that change has come to America. Unfortunately, this change has been very disturbing to the American people. Even the moderates have expressed their dismay over the secretive meetings of Congress and the president. More and more revelations of a deceptive government have been emerging from all fronts. The Democrats are in power and are prepared to abuse it, and some far left liberals are not afraid of the people. They laugh at their faces when they are questioned of their misdeeds. Is this the republic our Founding...

The first blow has been struck against the encroaching tyranny of the European Union and it is a significant one. In fact, one member state has defiantly drawn a line in the sand and signalled that it will not tolerate erosion of its sovereignty. Although it attracted little attention when it was published last month, now that commentators have had an opportunity to analyse Sentenza N. 311 by the Italian Constitutional Court, its monumental significance in rolling back the Lisbon Treaty is now being appreciated. (Hat tip, as they say, to Dr Piero Tozzi.) The Constitutional Court ruled baldly that,...

President Barack Hussein Obama is proceeding to destroy America and has opened up a six-front war to do so:

In a related development, secret documents were leaked today indicating that the United Nations has been plotting to form an international environmental governing body which almost certainly would infringe on U.S. sovereignty.

Alistair Darling has delivered a blunt warning to the EU’s new French finance chief against meddling with the City of London. As Nicolas Sarkozy gloated over impending curbs on the City, the Chancellor said that such moves would drive financial services out of Europe. The French President’s glee at the appointment of Michel Barnier as Commissioner for the Single Market took on an edge of menace yesterday when he said that unfettered City practices must end. “Do you know what it means for me to see for the first time in 50 years a French European commissioner in charge of...

Imagine if President Obama went to Oslo next week to receive his Nobel Peace Prize and was arrested for purported war crimes committed by U.S. forces in Afghanistan. This bit of historical irony would be possible under an argument being made by Luis Moreno-Ocampo, chief prosecutor for the International Criminal Court in The Hague. Mr. Ocampo claims jurisdiction over actions of U.S. troops in Afghanistan because Kabul in 2003 acceded to the Rome Statute, which established the court. He said a preliminary examination already is under way regarding possible American culpability in crimes against humanity.

As Britain approaches a general election, commentators on the present "British sickness" or "British crisis" usually dwell on one of several areas. Here are some of them: • Destruction of trust in the Parliamentary and political system. About half Britain's MPs have been found to have broken either the spirit or the letter of the law with dodgy expense claims, "flipping" primary and secondary residences to avoid capital gains tax and in other ways showing contempt for the taxpayer -- a contempt now being heartily reciprocated. It is hard to see how any major party will be able to find...

Missouri State Sen. Jane Cunningham (R-Chesterfield) drew much applause Saturday afternoon when she informed the crowd at the Million Med March about the Health Care Freedom Act she is going to introduce soon in the Missouri Senate.

THE UNITED STATES WILL NOT APOLGIZE FOR DEFENDING & PROMOTING LIBERTY: We do not say we're sorry to other nations, organizations, or individuals for our involvement in world affairs in defense of our citizens' life and liberty, and in defense of our national and vital interests. We count interfering with and bringing down tyrants and dictators like Hitler, Mussolini, Tojo, Stalin, Mao, Noriega, Hussein, the Taliban, Al Quida and others as an honor. We bow to NOONE in this regard and demand that our elected and appointed officials not do so. If similar individuals, nations, or groups threaten our...

After the release of my last column “Freedom’s Destruction by Constitutional De-Construction,� I received so many responses to my statement, “The people of the states [must] once again reject this national form of government and assert and defend the principles of federalism,� that I felt the need to develop this subject more thoroughly. The question I received was: “How can I choose federalism once again?� Indeed, answering this question is crucial to injecting a cure for the sickness and illness of tyrannical, national control over the people of the states. Undoubtedly, we are going to need an acute dosage to...

Control: The House and Senate climate bills contain a provision giving the president extraordinary powers in the event of a "climate emergency." As chief of staff Rahm Emanuel says, a crisis is a terrible thing to waste. If you thought the House health care bill that nobody read has hidden passages that threaten our freedoms and liberty, take a peak at the "trigger" placed in the byzantine innards of both the House-passed Waxman-Markey bill and the Kerry-Boxer bill just passed by Democrats out of Sen. Barbara Boxer's Environment and Public Works Committee. As Nick Loris of the Heritage Foundation points...

We are on the edge of a vast storm that is blowing wind in all directions. The winds are blowing dangerous objects all about like a many headed hydra; Healthcare Reform, Card Check, Financial Industry takeover, GM takeover, Stimulus Bill, Cap and Trade, earmarks. We are all concerned about our safety and our future, especially the future of our loved ones. We are beginning to see that the one thing that was constructed to save us (the U.S. Constitution) has been distorted, manipulated and ignored. The federal government which was sworn to uphold and protect that construction has morphed into...

An arbitrator has rejected controversial talk show host Glenn Beck's contention that the domain name glennbeckrapedandmurderedayounggirlin1990.com infringes his trademark. World Intellectual Property Organization arbitration panelist Frederick Abbott ruled Friday that the less-than-flattering domain name was protected by fair use principles because the URL, when combined with the site's content, constitutes protected speech. Abbott wrote that the site's creator, Isaac Eiland-Hall, "can be said to be making a political statement," which is a "legitimate non-commercial use" of Beck's name. Eiland-Hall had argued that the site parodied Beck by using the same rhetorical techniques that Beck uses on the air. In legal...

Raquel Rolnik, the Special Rapporteur on Adequate Housing, is assuming the role of a global community organizer, with the U.N. acting as the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) on steroids. This is part of a gradual encroachment on American sovereignty. The United Nations should not be in the business of organizing radical American interest groups to stir up trouble within our borders.

The President of the United States has no more legal right to sign a treaty that turns legislative, executive, and judicial functions of our national government over to the United Nations than he has to declare the United States an Islamic Republic and its people henceforward subject to Sharia. Nevertheless, that would be the effect of the proposed United Nations Climate Change Treaty awaiting Mr. Obama's signature in Copenhagen this coming December. The proposed treaty authorizes the establishment of a "government" to transfer wealth from industrial nations to non-industrial nations in payment of a "climate debt" which, the treaty declares,...

Americans concerned about the decline of American power under the presidency of Barack Obama should turn their radar on and keep it on. We should be aware that Obama intends to roll out for Senate approval a series of international treaties that will further bind America to the will of the international community if they are ratified. Bit by bit, America's autonomous power is being taken away. The Boston Globe provides a public relations gloss by calling these treaties a means of fulfilling "Obama's vision of global cooperation." This is one view, I suppose. Another view would be that our...

Environmental alarmism is being exploited to chip away at national sovereignty. The latest threat to American liberties may be found in the innocuous sounding Copenhagen Climate Treaty, which will be discussed at the United Nations climate-change conference in mid-December. ... Its executive arm is something called the Adaptation Fund Board, under which is the Copenhagen Climate Facility, also known as "the Facility." The Facility is necessary because in order to save the planet, "the way society is structured will need to change fundamentally." This change would be impossible under the "fragmented set of existing institutions," so the Facility will step...

In his mission to sound an alarm concerning the Copenhagen Treaty, Lord Christopher Monckton, former science policy advisor to Lady Margaret Thatcher, continues his tour of lectures and meetings here in the United States. On Friday, October 23rd, his Lordship joined Breitbart.TV's The B-Cast for a generous and highly informative interview that lasted over an hour. The discussion revealed much about the degree to which first the American people and now U.S. legislators have begun to respond to the threat the treaty poses to U.S. sovereignty.

'Libel tourism' assaults free speech By Erin Roach The Baptist Press thelastcrusade.org NASHVILLE, Tenn. (BP)--In the debate over Intelligent Design, William Dembski is wary of a new trend dubbed "libel tourism" that may force Americans to submit to lawsuits in other countries for alleged crimes that otherwise would be protected by the First Amendment. Dembski, research professor of philosophy at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, noted on his blog the case of Paul L. Williams, a Pennsylvania-based journalist and National Book Award-winning author who is facing trial in Canada because of a loophole in free trade agreements. Such agreements, including...

Sacrificial Health Care Lambs The health care con, perpetrated by the White House, is well under way. The intent is to keep all attention on every morsel of “news” as it is allowed to leak. The very fact that Americans, by a vast majority, have made their opinions known, yet the incessant push for health care reform continues. It is designed to keep the White House in something of a superior posture to the little people, the voters, who are at the mercy of our all-knowing, omni-present Ruler. Since he has no integrity or moral standing to fall back on,...

While much of America’s mainstream news media continues to scoff at the notion of Texas independence, journalists from elsewhere around the globe are beginning to recognize that the Texas Nationalist Movement is gaining momentum in its quest to put the issue of Texas secession before the voters of the state. TNM representatives have been deluged of late by requests for media interviews, particularly from journalists from overseas. TNM President Daniel Miller has been interviewed by Iranian television and a request from British TV is in the wings, while stories about the movement have also been featured in Agence France-Presse, the...

Not content with his humiliation at Copenhagen, Denmark this past September, President Obama will be traveling there again in December to attend the UN COP15 Climate Change Conference. This agreement would commit the United States to punitive and expensive greenhouse gas regulations dictated by the United Nations without recourse. COP stands for "Conference of the Parties" and the December Copenhagen conference will be the 15th under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), hence COP15. According to their website, it will be one of the largest conferences ever held outside the New York or Geneva headquarters, with an...

Fightin Words debuts on US Web Talk Radio, featuring a candid interview with Minneapolis firefighter and paramedic John Ackerman regarding the city’s incestuous dependence on “local government aid” which continually threatens the funding of essential services and the safety of the tax payer. We examine how local government aid works, how it affects the budget process, the history of the 911 system, and how it all combines to model society’s incremental trend away from individual sovereignty toward utter dependence on the state. Also, audio from the Can You Hear Us Now rally at the local NBC outlet in the Twin...

THE TWO MOST IMPORTANT STORIES OF THE YEAR ?!WALTER HUDSON is the blogger who witnessed, recorded, and broke the news of LORD MONCKTON's siren call for our paramount American Sovereignties, under attack by the "Climate Change Treaty." We will listen to Mr. Hudson and to Lord Monckton's brief presentation, hour-1. Then, MissTICKLY may have found evidence tending to indicate that (please take a deep breath) Barack Obama is the son of cousins, Stanley Ann Dunham and Frank Marshall Davis -- and Hawaiian royalty -- perhaps heir to the Hawaiian throne. If true, this would imply criminal fraud by Obama. Don't...

On October 14, Lord Christopher Monckton, a noted climate change skeptic, gave a presentation at Bethel University in St. Paul, MN. In this 4 minute excerpt from his speech, he issues a dire warning to all Americans regarding the United Nations Climate Change Treaty, scheduled to be signed in Copenhagen in December 2009.

At [the 2009 United Nations Climate Change Conference in] Copenhagen, this December, weeks away, a treaty will be signed. Your president will sign it. Most of the third world countries will sign it, because they think they’re going to get money out of it. Most of the left-wing regime from the European Union will rubber stamp it. Virtually nobody won’t sign it. I read that treaty. And what it says is this, that a world government is going to be created. The word “government” actually appears as the first of three purposes of the new entity. The second purpose is...

Is Obama Poised to Cede US Sovereignty? Agenda 21 Urgent as hell folks - Obama is going to sign this very soon. The Commie must be stopped. Sign also the petition now; do not wait for if you do soon you will awake to a true Communist nation and it cannot be reversed!

Notwithstanding the mind boggling insanity coming from Washington, D.C. and other fortresses of liberalism gone amuck, there is a shining light, a beacon of hope for those of us who believe in rule of law, American sovereignty, and the Constitution. That light emanates from the personage of Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio who, despite being publicly castigated by Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, faces no shortage of courage or testosterone when it comes to doing his job...

At the 2009 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen this December our President will further betray his fudiciary responsibilities. By signing a Climate Change treaty, he will obligate America to pay billions annually to Third World nations. This will become a watershed moment in the history of the United States. Staying true to his commitment to redistribute wealth, the President's determined to level the World's economic playing field. Bad developed nations who have burned CO2, will be required to make Billions and Billions of dollars annually to undeveloped nations across the globe ad infinitum. Obama's going to sign this...

Oct. 16, 2009) — One world government, ruled by heartless and godless Marxists might be here sooner than you think. And the objectives of international Communists might explain all the money and power behind putting Obama into power. But the mechanism for establishing this one world Marxist government has only recently been revealed: The Copenhagen Treaty on Climate Change. So says Lord Christopher Monckton, former science adviser to British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, who, according to Fightin’ Words Blog, gave a scathing critique of the treaty at the recent Minnesota Freemarket Institute Conference: Here are some excerpts of Lord Monckton’s...

the short part that's scarey ... long version in body of thread

Most aware Americans have heard the debate on Global Warming. Now known as Climate Change as it has been proven that global temperatures are dropping and sea surface temperatures drop and warming can no longer be used. Many of us are aware that there is going to be a treaty conference hosted by the UN in Copenhagen in December of this year. According to Lord Christopher Monckton, this is nothing at all good for America. Over the weekend he gave a speech to Minnesota Free Market Institute where he claimed that the Treaty to be signed there would give up...

Regardless of whether global warming is taking place or caused to any degree by human activity, we do not want a global government empowered to tax Americans without elected representation or anything analogous to constitutional protections. The Founding Fathers would roll over in their graves if they knew their progeny allowed a foreign power such authority, effectively undoing their every effort in an act of Anti-American Revolution. If that is our imminent course, we need to put all else on hold and focus on stopping it. If American sovereignty is ceded, all other debate is irrelevant
