Did Obama give INTERPOL more power last week?

Pierre is asking the question:

What the hell is going on?

Executive Order 12425

EO: AMENDING EXECUTIVE ORDER 12425 DESIGNATING INTERPOL AS A PUBLIC INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION

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’s the text of 2(c), which this EO now has applying to INTERPOL:

(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.

An INTERPOL branch in the US now cannot be searched, it’s files are not subject to legal subpoena nor discovery.  If any branch of government wants to keep documents out of the hands of the court system, just hand them over to INTERPOL until the smoke clears.
INTERPOL will now be able to maintain files on US citizens.

By this EO, Obama has conferred diplomatic immunity upon INTERPOL, exemption from being subject to search and seizure by law enforcement, exemption from US taxes, and immunity from FOIA requests, etc.
Obama just declared INTERPOL records immune from search and seizure — "The archives of international organizations shall be inviolable."
Does INTERPOL have a file on Obama — on his associations? EO 12425

Let's hope this is all one big misunderstanding right?

I'm sure you folks are aware of this right? I mean, usurping the sovereignty of the United States of America and granting powers to foreign agencies is something I know the MSM would be all over... right?

Like stink on poop... right?

Right.

Hope and change.

Wow. This story needs to be spread like wildfire online, because it won't be in the media.

Could this be true?

It answers a question or two.

There is no choice now. If anyone is so blind that they can't see what is being done to this country by Obama and his thugs, then they're just out of time. When the second crash comes mid 2010 they will make their move to take over the United States of America. We must prepare our hearts and minds for a battle unless we want to wind up a third world dictatorship.

"they will make their move to take over the United States of America"?

Delusional nut case...

[Mommynator]

No, not delusional. I don't know about 2010, but the stage is being set to destroy us, and unless we the people wake up and say, Hell NO!!, kiss the USA good-bye.

Any thing we can do>, We must do> now!

Now that INTERPOL guys can thumb their noses at American laws, how do I get a job there? I can think of a lot of laws I'd like to thumb my nose at. The plans I'm formulating are top secret, of course.
