Let’s turn now to Helmut Schmidt who was German Chancellor (Prime Minister) for 8 years (1974-1982). In his memoirs, Men and Powers (Random House, 1987), he wrote that American foreign policy is decided by two groups:

This is probably the most public and most brazen confirmation to date by the Globalist Elite that they control the US government. James Jones was appointed through the democratic process approved by Congress, but here he is stating categorically that he takes his orders daily from Henry Kissinger via two other unelected individuals, Brent Scowcroft and Sandy Berger. Kissinger is a well known mouthpiece for David Rockefeller. Many regard him as the author of several brutal wars and genocidal campaigns. He has been given no mandate whatever by the American people, and yet, as Jones confirms, he has direct control over US national security.

"Thank you for that wonderful tribute to Henry Kissinger yesterday. Congratulations. As the most recent National Security Advisor of the United States, I take my daily orders from Dr. Kissinger, filtered down through General Brent Scowcroft and Sandy Berger, who is also here. We have a chain of command in the National Security Council that exists today.” [ Remarks by the US National Security Adviser, James L Jones at the 45th Munich Conference on Security Policy, Hotel Bayerischer, February 8, 2009. ]

Let’s start with an astonishing admission by the Globalists in 2009. It can actually be found on the official website of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), which is one of several obscure institutions that secretly run the United States:

‘It can’t happen here!’ you say. Really? The following quotations prove otherwise. Not only is it coming down the tracks but the pace of decay is now such that a severe economic collapse in the next 2-3 years is looking increasingly likely.

Industrial employment across the US as a whole has been radically reduced and most of the jobs that remain are in the low-paying, insecure services sector. The erosion of your civil liberties since 9/11 has been so severe that any law-abiding American can now be picked up and incarcerated indefinitely by his government on vaguely-worded security-related charges – against which he or she has absolutely no defense.

Please consider the evidence for yourself. More than forty percent of your industrial base has been ‘off-shored’, with most of it given lock-stock-and-barrel to a Marxist-Leninist regime known as China. Using a host of deceitful practices in the banking system, successive governments have left the country saddled with such staggering levels of debt – at household, corporate, state and federal level, not to mention massive unfunded liabilities such as social security, Medicaid and Medicare – that there is not the slightest chance that even a fraction of it can be paid down from future taxation without destroying the economy. In fact it is so great, and growing at such an alarming rate, that your great nation will very shortly be unable even to service its debt (i.e. keep up its interest payments to foreign and domestic lenders).

If you are living in the United States you need to be especially concerned about the Global Elite since the last major obstacle to a One World Government is the US itself. As a sovereign independent nation, and the foremost player in world affairs, with a long tradition of liberty and democracy, the Globalists believe it cannot be allowed to continue in its existing form. They have long planned to weaken it fatally – a process which is now at a very advanced stage – and destroy its sovereignty. A totalitarian regime of some kind is scheduled to take over, possibly on foot of an engineered national crisis, and abolish the Constitution. The America that has existed since 1776 will then disappear forever.

They are so arrogant and so confident of success that, from time to time, some of their more outspoken members divulge just a little too much information about their intentions.

The following published quotations by members of the Global Elite should go a long way toward dispelling any doubts you may have about their existence. They should also shed considerable light on their mindset, their methodology, their contempt for humanity, and the remarkably sophisticated nature of their plan to destroy the sovereignty of independent nations and create a New World Order.

So, instead of asking ‘Does a global conspiracy exist?’ we should really be asking, ‘What are these power-obsessed, ultra-wealthy people actually planning to do and what are the likely consequences for the rest of humanity?’

Given human nature and its dismal record of murder and corruption, it would be truly astonishing if a group of this kind did not exist!

It is in essence an agreement among like-minded people who are seeking to establish a global monopoly on the commodity they value more than any other – Power.

These super-rich families and those who support them are known by various names, including the Power Elite, the Ruling Elite, the cabal of International Bankers, the Illuminati, the Globalists, and the Black Nobility. One can even think of them as the Trillionaires Club.

"A secret agreement by a number of super-rich elite families to increase their wealth and power on the world stage by covert means, with a view ultimately to impose a unified world government under their control, and to employ a range of subversive techniques and programs in diverse fields – political, financial, economic, military, industrial, medical, educational, religious, and media-related, among others – to achieve this objective."

That is okay as far as it goes, but it does not even begin to capture the breadth and scope of the Globalist agenda. Once you define it correctly, it starts to look less like a conspiracy and more like a business plan – which is exactly what it is:

Many dismiss those who believe in a global conspiracy as cranks and fools. And yet evidence that such a conspiracy exists is fairly easy to establish.

The Establishment and the Council on Foreign Relations

The power of the CFR is well illustrated by the extraordinary number of top government positions that have been filled by its members – 7 Presidents, 7 Vice Presidents, 17 Secretaries of State, 19 Secretaries of Defense, 17 Secretaries of the Treasury, and 14 Directors of the CIA.

“The Council on Foreign Relations successfully drew carefully chosen young people into its discussions and prepared them at first for modest tasks; in the course of their careers they often took on top-level missions in the State Department, the Pentagon, the White House, or other centers of international policy – from trade agreements to disarmament...The foreign policy elite, which had very silent but effective ways of seeing to its own succession, was thus largely a matter of the East Coast.” [pages 221-222]

“One was a large number of outstanding career diplomats and career officials in high positions, who provided continuity; the other was a large reservoir of discerning private persons, who were committed to foreign affairs and who had already served earlier administrations. This reservoir, earlier frequently called “the establishment,” had both its forum and its center in the Council on Foreign Relations in New York. Its members were lawyers, bankers, some industrialists, and academics. The council published (and still publishes) the excellent periodical Foreign Affairs...

“...I gratefully recall the yearly so-called Bilderberg conferences that Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands organized and ran, and the yearly meetings of the London Institute for Strategic Studies under the leadership of Alistair Buchan. Some of the United States senators active in foreign affairs...always participated in these two-to-three day international conferences. Conversations with Dean Acheson, George Kennan, and Paul Nitze, which might occur during such meetings, were a treasure trove of information and enlightenment...We were not surprised whenever, a few years later, one or another of the men we had had such good conversations with reappeared as a cabinet member or deputy secretary or head of department; in such cases we could safely assume that the man’s views were the same ones he had espoused in our earlier talks.” [pages 222-223]

“...a class of professional intellectual politicians who never run for office but offer their services to the elected politicians and the candidates – at times even force them on them – as expert advisers and executive officers. They are supported by various institutions, where they work whenever they are not in government service.” [page 227]

Schmidt proceeds to name some of these institutions – the Brookings Institution, the American Enterprise Institute, the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, the Georgetown Center for Strategy and International Studies, the Hoover Institute, the Heritage Foundation, and the Rand Corporation.

In the course of his review of American power brokers [pages 221-227], Schmidt names several of these unelected “professional intellectual politicians,” including some who are still in power today, nearly forty years later – David Rockefeller, Henry Kissinger, and Zbigniew Brzezinski.

The Incredible Unseen Influence of David Rockefeller

James Jones may answer to Henry Kissinger, but Kissinger in turn answers to David Rockefeller. In the following published quotations, Rockefeller makes no attempt to hide his globalist agenda, his Marxist beliefs, or his evident willingness to destroy the sovereignty of the United States:

“For more than a century, ideological extremists at either end of the political spectrum have seized upon well-publicized incidents...to attack the Rockefeller family for the inordinate influence they claim we wield over American political and economic institutions. Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as 'internationalists' and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure – one world, if you will. If that's the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it.” [David Rockefeller, Memoirs, Random House, 2002]

“One is impressed immediately by the sense of national harmony...there is [a] very real and pervasive dedication to Chairman Mao and Maoist principles. Whatever the price of the Chinese Revolution, it has obviously succeeded not only in producing more efficient and dedicated administration, but also in fostering high morale and community of purpose...The enormous social advances of China have benefited greatly from the singleness of ideology and purpose...The social experiment in China under Chairman Mao's leadership is one of the most important and successful in human history.” [David Rockefeller, from an article in the New York Times, August 10th, 1973, entitled, From a China Traveler (at which time Rockefeller was chairman of the board of Chase Manhattan Bank) ]

“We are grateful to The Washington Post, The New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subject to the bright lights of publicity during those years. But, the work is now much more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries.” [ David Rockefeller, in an address to a meeting of the Bilderberg Group, Baden Baden, Germany, June 5 , 1991 ]

Note how far-reaching his ambitions are – the imposition of world government and the replacement of “auto-determination” (democracy) by an elite group of intellectuals. He even admits to being part of a secret cabal to bring this about!

If you are tempted to think the Globalist aims of this “secret cabal” are not actually being implemented on the world stage by their political puppets, then please consider the boast by Madeleine Albright at a major public function in 1997, when she was serving as US Secretary of State:

“Today, there is no Stalin to give orders. If a nation is isolated from the international community now, it is either because the country is simply too weak to meet international standards, or because its leaders have chosen willfully to disregard those standards. Last week in the Netherlands, President Clinton said that no democratic nation in Europe would be left out of the transatlantic community. Today I say that no nation in the world need be left out of the global system we are constructing.” [Madeleine Albright, U.S. Secretary of State, Harvard University Commencement Address, Massachusetts, June 5, 1997]

Some courageous attempts to sound a warning

A few elected representatives have tried to warn of the dangers posed by the Globalists, but with little success. Unless the mainstream media highlight their words, they pass largely unnoticed by the vast majority of people. For example, the United Nations and the Trilateral Commission were set up specifically to promote the goal of Globalism and dilute the sovereignty of independent nations, yet warnings by people of the stature of Senator Barry Goldwater – who was the Republican Presidential nominee in 1964 – received very little popular attention:

“The time has come to recognize the United Nations for the anti-American, anti-freedom organization that it has become. The time has come for us to cut off all financial help, withdraw as a member, and ask the United Nations to find headquarters location outside the United States that is more in keeping with the philosophy of the majority of voting members, someplace like Moscow or Peking.” [ Senator Barry Goldwater , the Congressional Record, 1971]

“The Trilateral Commission is intended to be the vehicle for multinational consolidation of the commercial and banking interests by seizing control of the political government of the United States. The Trilateral Commission represents a skillful, coordinated effort to seize control and consolidate the four centers of power political, monetary, intellectual and ecclesiastical. What the Trilateral Commission intends is to create a worldwide economic power superior to the political governments of the nationstates involved. As managers and creators of the system, they will rule the future.” [ Senator Barry Goldwater in his 1979 book, With No Apologies ]

From time to time a politician does emerge whose words of warning reach the mainstream media or who manages in some manner to cause problems for the Globalists. When this happens, they often meet with an untimely end. For example, even allowing for their above-average number of air miles, an unusual number of Senators, Congressmen and State Governors have died in airplane accidents (By my reckoning, more than 30 in the period 1950-2000, compared to 1 in 20,000 for the population as a whole). A notable member of this unfortunate group was Congressman Larry McDonald, a very vocal critic of the Globalists and their disturbing agenda:

“And to my knowledge, not one has dared reveal the most vital part of the Rockefeller story: that the Rockefellers and their allies have, for at least fifty years, been carefully following a plan to use their economic power to gain political control of first America, and then the rest of the world.

Do I mean conspiracy? Yes, I do. I am convinced there is such a plot, international in scope, generations old in planning, and incredibly evil in intent. You will find the truth-often surprising, sometimes unpleasant, always vital-in the pages that follow. Gary Allen has done a masterful job of combining the hundreds of scattered facts and hidden clues of the Rockefeller puzzle until one unmistakable pattern emerges. The picture that is revealed when The Rockefeller File is finally opened may shock you. In this book, you will learn why the Rockefellers follow the policies they do, what their goals are, where they intend to take America...and why it is essential they be stopped.” [Congressman Lawrence P McDonald, from his Introduction to The Rockefeller File by Gary Allen, 1976]

Congressman McDonald was killed when the Soviet Union inexplicably shot down the large passenger plane in which he was travelling on September 1, 1983.

“There is a real question in my mind that the Soviets may have actually murdered 269 passengers and crew on the Korean Air Lines Flight 007 in order to kill Larry McDonald.” [Jerry Falwell, The Washington Post, September 2, 1983 ]

Georgetown Professor reveals too much

The Globalists made a remarkable, if accidental, disclosure of their longterm program in 1966 with the publication of a major academic work by an historian at Georgetown University, Professor Carroll Quigley. In his massive volume, over 1200 pages in length, Professor Quigley revealed for the first time the way leading figures in the British and American Establishment have conspired together for decades to create a global empire, of greater power and scope than any in history. Here are some telling excerpts:

“There does exist and has existed for a generation, an international Anglophile network which operates to some extent in the way the Radical Right believes the Communists act. In fact, this network, which we may identify as the Round Table Groups, has no aversion to co-operating with the Communists, or any other groups, and frequently does so. I know of the operations of this network because I have studied it for twenty years and was permitted for two years, in the early 1960s, to examine its papers and secret records. I have no aversion to it or to most of its aims and have, for much of my life, been close to it and to many of its instruments. I have objected, both in the past and recently, to a few of its policies but in general my chief difference of opinion is that it wishes to remain unknown, and I believe its role in history is significant enough to be known.” [ Professor Carroll Quigley, Tragedy and Hope: A History of the World in Our Time, Macmillan and Co, New York, 1966 ]

"...the powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent private meetings and conferences. The apex of the system was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basle, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world's central banks which were themselves private corporations. Each central bank...sought to dominate its government by its ability to control Treasury loans, to manipulate foreign exchanges, to influence the level of economic activity in the country, and to influence cooperative politicians by subsequent economic rewards in the business world." [ Professor Carroll Quigley, Tragedy and Hope: A History of the World in Our Time, Macmillan and Co, New York, 1966 ]

He also cites a famous remark by Walter Rathenau, a former Foreign Minister of Germany:

“...a relatively small number of bankers were in positions of immense influence in European and American economic life. As early as 1909, Walter Rathenau, who was in a position to know (since he had inherited from his father control of the German General Electric Company and held scores of directorships himself), said, "Three hundred men, all of whom know one another, direct the economic destiny of Europe and choose their successors from among themselves.”” [ Professor Carroll Quigley, Tragedy and Hope: A History of the World in Our Time, Macmillan and Co, New York, 1966 ]

Quigley, who taught the future president Bill Clinton during his student days, was fairly candid about the forces that shaped the past but was careful not to reveal too much information about the continued existence and covert operations of the same secret cabal.

Why the Globalists are prepared to kill millions of people

The Globalists have an exceptionally ambitious plan, namely to impose a centralised form of government on the planet as a whole. This is fully consistent with the world political situation prophesied in the Book of Revelation, which envisages the formation of ten regional authorities across the globe and the subsequent emergence of one all-powerful world ruler.

The Globalists brought about two World Wars to advance their agenda. The First broke up the old empires of Europe and the Middle East, while the Second laid the foundation for the European Union, NATO, the United Nations, and the consolidation of two vast Communist regimes – the USSR and China. For purposes of our analysis, the key point to note is that, together, these two devastating wars resulted in the cruel and violent deaths of over 75 million people.

Both were extended for as long as possible for maximum effect, with the international financiers – the Globalists – providing funding and weaponry to both sides. All the indications are that they intend to initiate another World War sometime in the next few years in order to lift their Global agenda to the next level.

Human life means nothing to people who believe they are superior to the rest of humanity. Over the past two centuries they have developed a ‘scientific’ philosophy which in their eyes justifies the elimination of large swathes of humanity, the inferior stock who, from an evolutionary standpoint, deserve to be eliminated.

Most of this philosophy was developed in Britain and exported to the US and Germany. It continued to spread and expand until today it permeates the Globalist mindset. They are convinced that, left to its own devices, the world’s population would grow to the point where the very survival of humanity would be under threat. Inferior human stock is breeding exponentially and must be restrained. The only way to do this, and prevent the destruction of the world’s limited resources, is through mass murder and sterilization.

If this seems utterly improbable, think again. Some of the most respected intellectuals in British society in the last century were vocal proponents of this view. Consider, for example, the following remark by H G Wells:

“And for the rest, those swarms of black, and brown, and dirty-white, and yellow people, who do not come into the new needs of efficiency ? Well, the world is a world, not a charitable institution, and I take it they will have to go. The whole tenor and meaning of the world, as I see it, is that they have to go. So far as they fail to develop sane, vigorous, and distinctive personalities for the great world of the future, it is their portion to die out and disappear.” [ H G Wells, Anticipations of the Reaction of Mechanical and Scientific Progress Upon Human Life and Thought, 1902 (p.317)]

These depraved ideas have long held sway in British Establishment circles, and have been taught – usually covertly – in the leading British universities such as Oxford, Cambridge and the London School of Economics. They were in turn transmitted to the most influential centers of learning in the United States, including Harvard, Princeton and Yale, as well as the principal universities in Germany such as Heidelberg, Freiburg and Leipzig. The Nazi eugenics program, which was funded and encouraged by the Globalists, grew directly from this school of thought.

The Globalists recognize that many white Europeans will resist the New World Order and its program of ethnic cleansing. H G Wells makes it quite clear that all such resistance must be dealt with in summary fashion and “malcontents” eliminated:

“...when the struggle seems to be drifting definitely towards a world social democracy, there may still be very great delays and disappointments before it becomes an efficient and beneficent world system. Countless people...will hate the new world order...and will die protesting against it. When we attempt to evaluate its promise, we have to bear in mind the distress of a generation or so of malcontents, many of them quite gallant and graceful-looking people.” [ H G Wells, The New World Order (1939) ]

The ‘Rich List’ Scam

Even where one accepts that this Globalist philosophy exists, it is legitimate to ask whether the people concerned have both the means and the opportunity to put it into effect. Again it is only necessary to look at the pattern set in the 20th century and ask why so many undesirable outcomes, every one of which has been set in motion by a small group of influential people, just happened to advance the Globalist agenda – extremely costly and highly destructive wars funded from the same source; the progressive creation of international bodies to dilute the power of sovereign states; the rampant spread of atheistic doctrines in science, philosophy and religion; the massive expansion of communism; the use of fiat currencies to impoverish the middle classes of developed economies; the staggering increase in the power of private international corporations; the high level of surveillance in so-called free societies; the develop-ment of a disturbing array of weapons – biological, chemical, nuclear, and genetically engineered – to intimidate and destroy; and the highly sophisticated use of popular media for propaganda purposes?

That’s all very well, you may argue, but all of this takes money, extraordinary amounts of money. What evidence is there that a small elite actually have the financial resources to execute such an elaborate plan? According to the Forbes rich list and similar lists published by other leading publications, the richest individuals in the world are worth no more than $50 billion each, men like Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, Larry Ellison, Carlos Helu, Lakshmi Mittal, etc. But these lists are a total fraud. They omit the super rich, the small group of families in Europe and America whose wealth is simply prodigious.

The super rich in 1900 did not lose their wealth in the course of the 20th century. Perhaps a few stalled along the way, but most prospered to a dazzling degree. In his official biography of the Rothschild family, Frederic Morton reckoned that their total wealth was over $6 billion in 1850 (The Rothschilds: Portrait of a Dynasty, 1962). Given that this was an authorised biography of a secretive family and that they would have no particular desire to exaggerate their wealth, this figure is probably on the conservative side. If we increase this wealth at an annual real rate of between 5% and 6% – which is probably an underestimate, given their influence over the markets – then their wealth today is well in excess of €30 trillion, or twice America’s annual GDP.

Yet how many members of the Rothschild family feature on the Forbes rich list, or on any other rich list for that matter? Where are the Rockefellers, the Mellons, the Astors, the Vanderbelts, the Carnegies, the Cecils, the Cargills, the Bronfmans, the Du Ponts, the Harrimans, the Phipps, the Gettys, the Guggenheims, the Dawes, the Biddles, and dozens more in the US, Britain, Germany, France, Switzerland, Italy and so forth? And what is the true wealth of the ancient royal families of Europe, whose combined stock and real estate holdings must run into the trillions?

Please consider these facts very carefully since they reveal a great deal about the true center of power in the world today. If we assume that the next ten families on the real rich list (not the one published by Forbes or Fortune Magazine) have been just as successful as the Rothschilds at expanding their own wealth over the last hundred years or so, then we could safely add another €30 trillion to the total wealth enjoyed by the world’s ruling elite.

The published lists of the world’s richest people are designed to conceal the identities of the truly wealthy, the all-powerful elite. After all, if you have wealth of this magnitude, you don’t want the world to know about it. Bill Gates is a shoeshine boy beside the Rothschild family. The truth is that an elite set of ultra-rich families rule the greatest nations on earth. Their political influence operates with impunity on a global scale and is directed toward one overall objective, namely the creation of a centralised World Government controlled on their behalf by a chosen cadre of front men and puppets.

This goal cannot be achieved without the large-scale reconfiguration of the United States, which in turn requires its subjugation by political and economic forces beyond its control. For the past hundred years the noose has been tightening, particularly since the creation of the Federal Reserve in 1913, a privately owned monopoly on the issuance of all US dollars.

Presidential Executive Orders

A key figure in the Globalist agenda is the President of the United States.

The powers of the US President – who is nothing more than a pawn in the hands of the ruling elite – have been steadily enhanced in a very low-key manner, to the point where, in a state of national emergency, he could rule with absolute dictatorial authority.

Look at the evidence. Under a range of Executive Orders that have been signed into law during the past sixty years or so, without any input from Congress, successive Presidents have authorised the transference of extraordinary powers to their executive office during a state of national emergency. Most Americans are unaware of these powers or their extent. Neither are they aware that it is the President himself who decides whether or not a state of national emergency ought to be declared. Thus, at the stroke of a pen, Congress can be suspended and sweeping executive powers assumed by the President.

An attempt was made by a Senate Committee in 1973 to audit these powers and to raise awareness generally of their extent. The Foreword to the Committee’s report was published on November 19, 1973. The joint Chairmen took the unusual step of issuing a statement on 30 September 1973, anticipating the ominous points made in their Foreword:

“The President has the power to seize property, organize and control the means of production, seize commodities, assign military forces abroad, call reserve forces amounting to 2½ million men to duty, institute martial law, seize and control all means of transportation, regulate all private enterprise, restrict travel, and in a plethora of particular ways, control the lives of all Americans... Most [of these laws] remain a potential source of virtually unlimited power for a President should he choose to activate them. It is possible that some future President could exercise this vast authority in an attempt to place the United States under authoritarian rule.

“While the danger of a dictatorship arising through legal means may seem remote to us today, recent history records Hitler seizing control through the use of the emergency powers provisions contained in the laws of the Weimar Republic.” [ Joint Statement, Senators Frank Church (D-ID) and Charles McC Mathias (R-MD), September 30, 1973 ]

The various Executive Orders in existence at that time clearly conferred extraordinary powers on the President and allow him, if he so wishes, to operate a dictatorship, just as Senators Church and Mathias had warned. Many other Executive Orders have been made since then which add greatly to the powers which the President may exercise during a state of national emergency. Please remember that these do not include the exceptional powers already conferred on the President under a long list of statutes, including subsidiary provisions in otherwise innocuous Acts.

For example, President Obama signed an Executive Order (No.13524) on December 16, 2009, regarding the privileges and immunities of Interpol on US soil. Interpol is a private international police organization with a very shady past. Former Interpol presidents included SS General Otto Steinhausl; Reinhard Heydrich, one of the senior Nazi officers most responsible for the Holocaust; SS General Arthur Nebe (under whose command at least 46,000 people were murdered); and SS General Ernest Kaltenbrunner who was condemned to execution at the Nuremberg Trials.

The definition of Interpol published by the US Department of Justice in 1988 ought to ring an alarm bell in every state across America:

Interpol conducts inter-governmental activities, but is not based on an international treaty, convention, or similar legal documents. It was founded upon a constitution drawn up and written by a group of police officers who did not submit it for diplomatic signatures, nor have they ever submitted it for ratification by governments. [Cited on p.185 of The Tavistock Institute of Human Relations by John Coleman, 2006]

The changes made by President Obama in December 2009 extend to Interpol the same privileges and immunities under the International Organizations Immunities Act 1945 that apply to organizations which the US has approved, either through international treaty or a vote of Congress. Whatever restrictions applied to it under a previous Executive Order (No.12425), signed by President Reagan on June 16, 1983, were completely removed by Obama. This is a truly astonishing concession in that it allows a private international police organization to operate anywhere on American soil with virtually no federal supervision or constraints of any kind, except where the President decides to revoke its special status. Neither Congress nor the American people had a say in any of this. In short, Interpol enjoys the same immunity from every form of judicial process as is enjoyed by foreign governments. The big difference, of course, is that foreign governments are not authorized to operate covert intelligence gathering operations on American soil, but Interpol is.

The fact that there is no consolidated statement of the extensive powers that the President may exercise during a state of national emergency ought to be a matter of great concern, both to American citizens and to the world at large.

"If God is for us, who can be against us?. ...in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 8:31
