Round up the political suspects
Arrêt! Halte! Hande Hoch!
Thanks to Obama’s amending Executive Order 12425, you might be hearing these words; maybe in English maybe not.
An additional flavor on top, no Miranda warnings need be given. Interpol legally operates above our law enforcement agencies and courts with diplomatic immunity.

I wonder where MFFA or fct is on this? Conspiratorial or actual.
Their god can do anything and they’re mute, unless some slight error can be detected.
The Interpol issue is scary. The neo-Nazis aren’t skinheads, they’re wearing suits in DC, and their boss is in the White House.
Every cutting stroke has a back stroke. One doesn’t know just where this back stroke cut.
As for those two idiots, they cannot see beyond “This will be a teachable moment” response.
No one stays in power forever. Nov 2010 is the defining time. Maybe sooner.
Now, um… despite the “invitation” to these Sturmabteilungen via executive order, wouldn’t they represent the armed forces of an invading enemy, and therefore subject to, um, “actions” by citizens in protection of our sovereignty and constitution?
I guess we’ll have to see if one of the feckless 435 will file an Article of Impeachment and get that batch of boot-licking lackeys to vote on it.
Otherwise see my next posting about the Quartering Act of 2009.
It is time to start to very seriusly think about armed resistance to any “interpol” arrest of American citizens. I am willing to die to make the point that it is unconstitutional and a violation of my civil and basic human rights as a natural born citizen, are they willing to die to make the point ?
Not me! I believe in the Patton rule. Let the other person die for their country.
Sorry I’m late on this one, heh… the order signed did nothing more than amend what was already granted to Interpol by President Reagen in 1983.
When the NRA has to be the voice of reason to pull you back, you know you’ve gone off the right’s deep end:

Imagine. A leftard agreeing with Reagan and the NRA, but not without the automatic sneer for the NRA.
For another view:

PS:
Anyone who reads the NRA brief with a functioning brain would learn that the brief does not discuss two important issues (in fact, it was a preliminary opinion and didn’t even discuss the details of 12425)…FOIA requests, and search and seizure of Interpol records. Interpol didn’t have an office here until 2004, so that didn’t matter until now.
Interpol is a clearing house for info, and works with national police agencies…it apparently has no enforcement officers of its own.
There’s a lot to consider here, not least of which is the willingness of leftists to lick Obama’s shoes, no matter what he does.
By the way, fredct, you weren’t “late”… you were just, as usual, afflicted with with premature eja…information.
Hey fredct, I have a post just for you, why are you piddling around here? Get up there with “Have a nice cup of warm Kool-Aid.”
Additionally fred, Reagan didn’t allow Interpol to operate in the Country. He allowed our police forces to cooperate with them.
Don’t confuse him, VW. He thinks he struck a blow for leftism.
Umm, I really can’t see what the big deal is. Interpol don’t have officers that arrest anyone or have any other executive powers.
From what I’ve read abourt them, Interpol acts as more of a central clearing house to help national law enforcement agencies go after serious criminals. I know the UK has no issue with cop-operarting with either Interpol or Europol for that matter.
In a similar vein, I seem to recall reading that the US govt. also mantained an FBI liaison office in the US Embassy in London to undertake similar work with Scotland Yard.
From memory this is one of the best examples of the way that Interpol works and how it ‘interlocks’ with local law enforcement:
http://www.interpol.int/Public.....080401.asp
Respectfully, you’ll note that the actual arrest was made by US law enforcement acting directly on information provided by Interpol.
I do accept though, coming from the UK, this Executive Order may have a larger effect on US law than I am aware of in comparison to Interpols operations in relation to the UK.
Andy:
What it does is allow foreign police to operate with impunity if they have the blessing of Obama and the rest of the progs and are beating up on percieved enemies of the left. All it takes is a few corrupt prosecutors in Europe filing criminal charges for hate crimes violations on Conservatives. Not big names like Limbaugh and Coulter; but individual posters to blogs such as these.
