Executive Order -- Amending Executive Order 12425
EXECUTIVE ORDER

AMENDING EXECUTIVE ORDER 12425 DESIGNATING INTERPOL
AS A PUBLIC INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION ENTITLED TO
ENJOY CERTAIN PRIVILEGES, EXEMPTIONS, AND IMMUNITIES
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.
To put things into perspective:
Executive Order #12425 allows INTERPOL the absolute authority to investigate, charge, and imprison, and extradite Americans—without having to adhere to the same constitutional laws that American law enforcement agencies are required to abide by. Additionally, the International Criminal Police Organization is authorized to conduct covert surveillance and investigations on American soil—with full immunities from US law. Laws such as the Freedom of Information Act, Congressional oversight, Constitutional protections, and without oversight from the FBI who is charged with the responsibility of internal national Security.
It also allows INTERPOL, wherever and by whomever to be immune from search, confiscation, and INTERPOL isn’t required to show proof or any other documentation concerning its investigations.
It also means that INTERPOL can conduct covert operations against Americans without any accountability to anyone.
“On Wednesday, however, for no apparent reason, President Obama issued an executive order removing the Reagan limitations. That is, Interpol's property and assets are no longer subject to search and confiscation, and its archives are now considered inviolable. This international police force (whose U.S. headquarters is in the Justice Department in Washington) will be unrestrained by the U.S. Constitution and American law while it operates in the United States and affects both Americans and American interests outside the United States.”

“The pre-requisite conditions regarding the Iraq withdrawal and the Guantanamo Bay terrorist detention facility closure will continue their course. meanwhile, the next move from President Obama is likely an attempt to dissolve the agreements made between President Bush and other states preventing them from turning over American military forces to the ICC (via INTERPOL) for war crimes or any other prosecutions.
When the paths on the road map converge - Iraq withdrawal, Guantánamo closure, perceived American image improved internationally, and an empowered INTERPOL in the United States - it is probable that President Barack Obama will once again make America a signatory to the International Criminal Court. It will be a move that surrenders American sovereignty to an international body whose INTERPOL enforcement arm has already been elevated above the Constitution and American domestic law enforcement.”
In Europe the papers are writing that the US government knew a Nigerian person was going to attack and did zip!
Obama is more intrested in his weekly night out with Michelle and playing golfwith Tiger or others...receiving the Israeli prime minister through the backdoor, while bowing for a muslim king!
Unfortunately, Tony and Claire, your central premise is false.
It is simply not true that, as you put it:
Executive Order #12425 allows INTERPOL the absolute authority to investigate, charge, and imprison, and extradite Americans—without having to adhere to the same constitutional laws that American law enforcement agencies are required to abide by. Additionally, the International Criminal Police Organization is authorized to conduct covert surveillance and investigations on American soil—with full immunities from US law. Laws such as the Freedom of Information Act, Congressional oversight, Constitutional protections, and without oversight from the FBI who is charged with the responsibility of internal national Security.
Consequently, nothing else that flows from this claim has any validity, either.
In considering whether this Executive Order means anything, Eugene Volokh, a right-wing legal scholar, has this to say:
A lot of the blogging objections I have seen to the Executive Order claim that this is a symbolic step towards U.S. membership in the International Criminal Court. But I guess I find an unadvertised executive order that no one knows about (at least until bloggers started pointing it out) that can be tied to the ICC only at a relatively abstract level a rather unthreatening step. Maybe there is more coming, in which case we can look at that when it comes. But in itself, I’m not entirely sure what the fuss is about. http://volokh.com/2009/12/30/executi...s-of-interpol/
The discussion on his page may be of interest, but the most agitated posters really have nothing more to point to than some kind of dark fears of what Obama might want to do, and nothing real about what this E.O. actually does.

And you got your info from a blog. Real credible. Please explain to us what this means if you are such an expert on this subject.

Section 2(c) of the International Organizations Immunities Act (22 U.S.C. 288) pertains to searches and seizures of INTERPOL's property and affects. NOTHING ABOUT US CITIZENS!
Section 3 of the International Organizations Immunities Act (22 U.S.C. 288) pertains to exemption from import duties or internal revenue taxes.
Section 4 of the International Organizations Immunities Act (22 U.S.C. 288) pertains to exemption from personal taxes.
Section 5 of the International Organizations Immunities Act (22 U.S.C. 288) pertains to exemptions from Social Security taxes.
Section 6 of the International Organizations Immunities Act (22 U.S.C. 288) pertains to exemptions from Property Taxes.
They need to know, but they don't care. He has all the answers and he's here to save us from ourselves. That's all that matters.
God help us, if we fall prey to having him save us. Yeah he has all the answers doesn't he, we are going to be in for the surprise of of lives with this President. I see more things happening beyond our control.
