Uhhhh.....hasn’t it occurred to any of you that Interpol
would not necessarily follow the kind of orders you are sure Obama would give them to carry out?
I am trying to be logical here. I think you need to examine this a little further.
And yeah, I heard McCarthy on Steve Malzberg today about this piece on NRO (which, btw, is hard to find, once you click on the NRO icon). There’s a lot of speculation that Interpol would function (or this Administration wants to scare you into thinking that it would function) as the same kind of “civilian police force” Obama briefly talked about during the campaign-——establishment of this kind of Stasi/Gestapo style police thug force will get no farther than it already has: this pathetic and ineffectual and disorganized “army” has thus far only “seen action” in the random acts of violence perpetrated by the thugs of SEIU. I hate this creep more than anyone on FR, believe me, but if you’re worried about us being rounded up, and shipped off to camps, or detained, or tortured, or whatever, you just don’t know America. I am not suggesting he hasn’t toyed with the notion, or doesn’t have fond dreams about it, or won’t in the future, as more of his “plans” get scotched,
but don’t underestimate yourself OR the rest of America OR EVEN a good portion of that ever-diminishing constituency,
known as former Obama supporters.Correct me if I’ve misread the argument here.
Their files are out of reach of US law enforcement or courts (per his order). Which means they can do investigations and domestic surveillance that normal law enforcement can’t do.
And if they are beyond accountability, who’s to say what they are really doing? They could be doing legitimate international law enforcement, they could be executing orders on behalf of the ICC, or they could be Sorosian agents doing who knows what. Or his personal thugs operating under the cover of an international badge.
What portion of the 97% of blacks who voted for him do you suppose would vote differently today?
"America" did similar to Japanese-Americans in WW2.
I’d say you have it about right.
Interpol is NOT a military unit, brigade or elite strike force. I doubt they even have the training to march in a straight line to the chow hall even if starving. Interpol is mostly office-type geeks sitting behind a desk shuffling papers or surfing the net. They would be horrified at the prospect of slipping on a pack and heading out to the American hinterlands and rounding up gun-toting, crack-shot hunters and combat veterans.
They have cushy jobs in the world bureaucracy where they can sit around - fat, dumb and happy - and draw a substantial paycheck with zero chance of getting shot. The personnel in Interpol are not glory hounds itching for action, plus they hate John Wayne movies, as the movies remind them of how dippy and inadequate they are.
BTW, clinton gave the same diplomatic immunity to the United Nations NGOs back in the 1990s. The purpose was to hide the NGO’s criminal acts from investigations by future administrations. The EOs worked pretty well in the Iraqi oil for food scandals. Clinton should have been impeached for that.
