When Habeas Corpus, means your liberty
DRY RUN TEST OF PLANNED DICTATORSHIP VIA CHANGE OF A FEW WORDS PERTAINING TO ARTICLE 1, SECTION 9 OF THE U.S. CONSTITUTION

(Jan. 4, 2010) — In a pattern of assault on liberties perpetrated by Barrack Hussein Obama, an executive order has been issued which effectively eliminates the centuries-old instrument of liberty, habeas corpus, from our charters of freedom.
Obama has committed a long line of transgressions pertaining to liberties and freedoms in the United States, a pattern that in all cases removes or diminishes, but never promotes or increases, liberties and/or self-determination.
Habeas corpus is an extremely crucial writ and most important governing tenet written into the U.S. Constitution, Bill of Rights and Declaration of Independence.
At the time the original 13 American Colonies’ declared independence and became a constitutional republic in which the people were sovereign, any person, in the name of the people, could acquire the authority to initiate such writs. To this day, habeas corpus has remained an inviolate writ of law.
By this act, Executive Order 13524, enacted by presidential writ, the singular bulwark protecting people from tyranny, which requires due process, and places the burden of proof pertaining to legal search and seizure, detention and prosecution squarely on the federal and state governments has been circumvented.
By executive order from the White House, the heinous act of amending a sentence in President Ronald Reagan’s 1983 original Executive Order 12425, has resulted in removing a vital safeguard against tyranny and police state.
The result of this executive order 13524 allows for arrest, detention, search and seizure and a slew of other acts of authoritarian and arbitrary action against persons at any time and any place for any reason without just cause or burden of proof. A most suspicious aspect portrayed as reason for executive order 13524 is to permit a foreign police organization to function and operate within US sovereign borders and territory, free of oversight and justification. It is in the most simple terms a complete breakdown and usurpation of natural and constitutional law.
Barry Soreoto, also known as Barrack Hussien Obama the foreign born illegally elected President of The United States of America, has fundamentally undermined arguably the single most important protective law of our land. He has stated on numerous occasions publicly that the US Constitution is what is wrong with the Amerika he knows.
A WRIT WITH 9 CENTURY’S OF PRECEDENCE
Habeas Corpus is a century’s old law instrumental in the 12th century English creation of the Magna Carter; the predecessor to the US Constitution.
Habeas corpus is of English origin, has profound historical importance as an instrument used for the safeguarding of individual freedom against arbitrary state action. (Oxford English Dictionary, Oxford University Press. pg. 849.)
Note that this executive order 13524 originates from the one person in the United States of America that has the sole singular duty of protecting the people from all enemies both foreign and domestic. Removing this instrument of Liberty is contradictory to every tenet, natural and governing law guaranteeing our most cherished freedoms and securing our way of life.
The United States Constitution specifically included the English common law procedure in the Suspension Clause, Article 1, Section 9. It states:
The privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in cases of rebellion or invasion, the public safety may require it.
Note again the intent in Article 1, Section 9; “habeas corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in cases of rebellion or invasion”, if public safety is in danger.
What cases of rebellion or invasion?
If one takes the possiblility for suspending habeas corpus to another level, one could reason with logical results that a person who holds the power to change such laws has ulterior motives to do such. If there is no justifiable, evident cause for suspension as per constitutional and natural law, it gives reason to assume that Barrack Hussein Obama plans on instituting either marshal law, a police state, or establishing a dictatorship.
There can be no other lawful reason for suspension; why should there be? The United States of America is a free law abiding God fearing nation full of decent hard working caring folks who have no ill will or ulterior motives against any body, entity or other nation.
It is from others who originate from outside our borders who bear ill will and malice against us. Singular enemies have invaded our borders, but this does not constitute an invasion. We have the finest law enforcement organizations in the world that if required is more than capable of protecting public safety. It is performed by brave steadfast people in uniform gallantly 24/7.
We have the finest fighting force in our military the world has ever known; what could possibly motivate a sitting President of The United States to by-pass these aforementioned protectors of the people?
There are a few who originate within our borders who wish for usurpation of our Republic, who are known to be working towards these goals. Our governing articles of law and freedom safeguard us from overthrow from within. The very same laws that allow for freedoms of speech, thought, religion and right to seek redress of wrongs against these tenets of Liberty.
Any person who violates these governing tenets of liberty and law by clandestine methods, without due and proper process of open clear intent and amendment is guilty of treason.
No more, no less.
No it doesn’t.
Well Vet78, or shall I say Sad Sack, three words without substantiating one bit. That is really not good enough so give a shot or remain silent.
Executive Order 13524 is a minor amendment of an already existing order by President Reagan. Interpol already had a lot of “privileges, exemptions and immunities” in accordance with the “International Organizations Immunities Act” (22 U.S. Code Section 288) already in effect. It extends privileges of Interpol especially with regard to taxes, customs duties, property taxes etc.
The only other thing is that the following from the IOIA is now also in effect for Interpol: “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.”
So there is nothing—nothing whatsoever!—in this Executive Order that “allows for arrest, detention, search and seizure and a slew of other acts”, nothing whatsoever on a (partial) suspension of habeas corpus. On the contrary: The new order in fact prohibits the government from search, seizure etc. of Interpol property.
I seriously don’t know what the Post & Email are doing here. Seems like total nonsense. Do they have *anything* to back up their claims regarding Article 1 Section 9? Because… that Executive Order Amendment has nothing to do with it.
And it should be added that the US are part of Interpol (22 USC 263a). So it’s not a “permit” for “a foreign police organization to function and operate within US sovereign borders and territory, free of oversight and justification.” It is not “a complete breakdown and usurpation of natural and constitutional law.” (By the way? What natural law? On a federal level there is ONLY the Constitution, no natural law, no common law… never has been.)
Interpol will continue to do what it has been doing for decades, with the help and collaboration of the US, as a supranational entity, not a foreign one, the same way they have been working in any other civilized country on the planet, i.e. completely powerless. (Not many seem to know that Interpol has none to only little authority to prosecute people or enforce laws.)
And the fact that Interpol’s assets are now inviolable for the first time, does not mean that there won’t be any oversight, any justification, any usurpation etc. The Post & Email need to give us some hard facts for these wild assertions.
By the way, the new Executive Order did not remove the restriction concerning 2.d, which remains without effect for Interpol:
“Insofar as concerns customs duties and internal-revenue taxes imposed upon or by reason of importation, and the procedures in connection therewith; the registration of foreign agents; and the treatment of official communications, the privileges, exemptions, and immunities to which international organizations shall be entitled shall be those accorded under similar circumstances to foreign governments.”
This means that (unlike over e.g. foreign diplomats) the US government still has oversight over Interpol’s “registration of foreign agents”. US government (in accordance with the Patriot Act) is still allowed to tap into Interpol’s “official communications”.
Uh, Vet, and Shorty,
YES, it sure does. Or maybe we should believe that this was done to protect Americans, much like the health care bill, or the hate crime bill, or the lies that’s been told from day one? Obama just does as he pleases without anyones approval, or the American People even being aware of what he’s doing.
Obama’s order removes protections placed upon INTERPOL by President Reagan in 1983. Obama’s order gives the group the authority to avoid Freedom of Information Act requests — which means this foreign law enforcement organization can operate free of an important safeguard against governmental abuse. “Property and assets,” including the organization’s records, cannot be searched or seized. Their physical locations and records are now immune from U.S. legal or investigative authorities.
If the president of the United States has an aboveboard reason for making a foreign law enforcement agency exempt from American laws on American soil, it wasn’t shared by the White House. ( And once again, Unconstitutional, and without reason)
Andy McCarthy, former assistant United States attorney for the Southern District of New York and senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, notes at National Review that the limitations that Obama removed are “what prevents law-enforcement and its controlling government authority from becoming tyrannical.”
A paragraph later, McCarthy describes Obama’s actions in the starkest of terms:
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 law enforcement agency to which Obama has extended such extraordinary powers to has had a dismal past, and that is well known.
INTERPOL’s senior leadership was flush with Nazis from the late 1930s all the way into the 1970s. That fact allowed, going Godwin isn’t necessarily relevant to today’s organization. Khoo Boon Hui of Singapore is the current president of the organization, and the current secretary general is American Ronald Noble. Noble is perhaps best known in America for overseeing the Treasury Department’s review of the disastrous 1993 raid and siege of a Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas, that left nearly 80 people dead. Noble had cautioned against the initial raid plan as being too dangerous, but the lack of any significant ramifications for federal officials that approved of the raid and allegations of a cover-up have inspired conspiracy theorists to derisively dub Noble “the Enforcer.”
But INTERPOL’s past isn’t what concerns people at this moment. Its the current actions and the actions of Obama that are in question.
With the flourish of a pen and no warning at all, Obama surrendered American sovereignty to an international force with a checkered past.
And for what reason, and to what end does he have in mind? Nobody does something like this for no reason, and trust me, he has a reason.
