Obama gave INTERPOL immunity from the US Constitution
Leythos
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!
