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 Section 6 of that Act" and the semicolon that immediately precedes them.
Here's the text of 2(c), which this EO now has applying to INTERPOL:
(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.
An INTERPOL branch in the US now cannot be searched, it's files are not subject to legal subpoena nor discovery. If any branch of government wants to keep documents out of the hands of the court system, just hand them over to INTERPOL until the smoke clears.
INTERPOL will now be able to maintain files on US citizens.
By this EO, Obama has conferred diplomatic immunity upon INTERPOL, exemption from being subject to search and seizure by law enforcement, exemption from US taxes, and immunity from FOIA requests, etc.
Obama just declared INTERPOL records immune from search and seizure -- "The archives of international organizations shall be inviolable."
Does INTERPOL have a file on Obama -- on his associations?
I humbly and respectfully suggest that you contemplate those two statements in juxtaposition with each other.
As for how far anyone goes to defend the Republic I respect that as a personal decision.
I’m not interested in impressing rats. In fact, I want them to underestimate us until we defeat them.
I guess I don’t understand your comments then.
No worries, FRiend. Merry Christmas!
None at all! Be of good cheer and hearty fellowship. ;-)
Don't be so sure there is no relation. I've been reading quite a bit trying to analyze possible thoughts on this and I was surprised to find the following:
Today, the U.S. National Central Bureau (INTERPOL Washington) is hosting its first U.S. Interagency Environmental Crime Meeting. INTERPOL’s General Secretariat and INTERPOL Washington partnered in this effort to bring together approximately 35 representatives from federal agencies to discuss ways to foster communication and identify opportunities to enhance international cooperation and participation in combating environmental crime.
Combating Environmental Crime with INTERPOL
The mission of INTERPOL’s Environmental Crime Programme is to assist its member countries in the effective enforcement of national and international environmental laws and treaties. In this way we can contribute to the ongoing conservation of the world’s environment, biodiversity and natural resources.
Jeezzzz... what was the Quid pro quo for that???
Oh wait, don’t tell me, Obama was stuid enough not to demand one for this BS?
LMAO. I don’t know what else to do. The entire Obama administration is a sick bloody joke. and its so bad, tragic really, there is nothing else to do. Kinda like the clown at the circus who repeatedly gets the crappola kicked out of him for laughs. I just don’t know who the clown is, us or him (Obama)
Ping to my post #106
Also look forward to your analysis of what the changes Obama made to this EO 12425 might mean.
Happy New Year and God bless.
BTTT - This needs to be this week’s top item!
Our police participate as members of INTERPOL, does that mean our federal, State and local police have diplomatic immunity as well?
