Time to debunk yet another 2009 shit story
Anyone have sources about President Obama and giving foreign police power in the US

Has anyone ever heard anything like this? I conducted some searches and have found nothing, I also went to Snopes didn't find anything there and I submitted to them.


<snip>
With Obama's change, "It means that we have an international police force authorized to act within the United States that is no longer subject to 4th Amendment Search and Seizure."

1. Just who is it that made this claim?
And you should know that when someone makes a bizarre claim like this, it should be up to THEM to provide at least an inkling of proof. It's not your job to prove that he DIDN'T do something, that's often times impossible.

2. It might help
if there was a link to the entire article to go on.

The quote posted is from what? It really doesn't sound like something Obama would say or something that is happening.

3. GWB and Harper gave the US and Canadian armies the right to cross the boarder...
this was basically a result of the horrible ice storm in Quebec when the only folks capable of getting up there to help folks with the power outage were stationed at Fort Drum, NY. The Canadian Army trains at Ft. Drum also, so you see them driving around.

I've heard NOTHING about this Obama e-mail. I also haven't received it from any right wing cranks I know. I'll keep an eye peeled for it.

4. This requires debunking? Why?
Go along with it. Tell them that the writing on the back of highway signs is a secret code for UN troops.

What a bunch of fucking idiots.

5. A conservative friend (long story; don't ask unless you really want to know) posted this article...
...on Facebook: http://corner.nationalreview.com/post/?q=MGY3MTI4YTRjZmYwMGU1ZjZhOGJmNmQ0NmJiZDNmMDY=

I don't know if this article is the origin of the myth, but it's basically saying what you're relating here.

6. Huh? This is sort of obscure. You are free to use as many words
as you wish to make your post make sense.

15.  Thanks TenCats!
It makes sense that he extended the same priviledges to Interpol as hundreds upon hundreds of other organizations have.

11. Perhaps they're nervous because allowing INTERPOL
to operate in the US is one step closer to rejoining the ICC

12. I didn't post the link because it's from a right wing site
but we are trying to help our nephew understand that much of the crap he reads on these sites are garbage.
