"Americans Under UN and ICC Jurisdiction?"

The candidacy of Barack Obama and his 2008 victory was the biggest hoax pulled on the American people in all the years of our republic. Mind-numbed Americans fell hook, line, and sinker for the soaring rhetoric of a man who detests the nation he promised to defend. Now, those of us who love our country and saw through the "hope and change" nonsense are forced to suffer right along with those who deserve to reap the evil that they so foolishly sowed.

How's giving over sovereignty to the UN and the International Criminal Court (ICC) sound to you? Sounds just like an Obama type of policy, does it not? Well, it's now a reality.

Read from Joshua Pundit:

Obama Cedes Sovereignty To Interpol,Axes Constitutional Protections

"This is huge.

While you were sleeping, President Obama did something that has serious implications for your rights and freedoms.

On December 17th, he amended Executive Order 12425 in a significant manner to allow InterPol to operate freely on US soil out of our own Department of Justice, making them immune from all the Constitutional protections American normally enjoy regarding law enforcement agencies.

InterPol, for those of you who don't know is essentially an offshore information repository and data base on criminals that American and European law enforcement officials can have access to for crimes that cross international borders. Obama just changed it into a full fledged police and investigative agency with arresting powers freely operating on US shores with no US oversight and not subject to US laws:

Section 2c of the United States International Organizations Immunities Act is the crucial piece.

This essentially has the potential to put Americans under UN and ICC jurisdiction. Not only are US Constitutional protections against illegal search and seizure voided, but Americans can be tried under 'international' statutes.

For instance, American military personnel accused of 'war crimes' or Americans interrogating Islamist terrorists could face arrest and trial under international warrants and remanded to third world hellholes for trial. Commentators and authors found guilty of 'hate speech' could be forced to defend themselves before Human Rights Tribunals ( ask Mark Steyn about that). And allies visiting America from countries like Israel could be met with warrants issued by the ICC, effectively prohibiting them from coming to the US. That's already happened in the EU, where the member countries honor ICC jurisdiction.

Another interesting thought..you all remember the infamous Department of Homeland Security report identifying 'right wing extremists' and mil veterans as the chief threats to the nation's security? Imagine if Obama plans to use his new InterPol pals with their Contitutionally exempt surveillance, search and seizure powers to ferret out a Vast Right Wing Conspiracy. Can you say 'Reichstag Fire incident', necessitating lots more emergency powers for the White House ? Sure you can.

This should be front page headlines all over country, and its constitutionality needs to be challenged forthwith. It's just like the current occupant of the White House to pull this when Congress is not in session and the country is distracted by the Holidays.

Get fighting mad....and let your representatives in Washington know that this is not going to stand.
