FBI = Nazi Interpol = Obama's number on EO 12425 = Terrorize Americans = Treason: Eric Holder, Nazi Spies Without A Country, No 6th Amendment, No Freedom of Information, No Oversight, No US

Tricky Barack quietly amended Executive Order 12425 December 17, 2009 to facilitate Eric Holder merging the FBI and probably the ATF with Rothschild Rockefeller financed Nazi organized Interpol. Well, not exactly, but logic dictates this is the follow the dots path comrade Obama set up in his unConstitutional Christmas present for unsuspecting Americans who still trust him and do not think Obama is engaging in treason by making war on the United States. So why would the bad guys, Rothschilds and Rockefellers have their latest anointed president do that. All thinking people know the Rothschilds and Rockefellers are behind the Holocaust, so one reason would make it easier for them to Holocaust Jewish people again and steal their money. So why would Obama amending EO 12425 make it easier to Holocaust Jewish people and why does his Executive Order guarantee the merging of the FBI and the ATF with Rothschild Rockefeller Nazi created Interpol? The Interpol in the USA manned by FBI and ATF agents hired by Interpol could pick on Jewish people, kill them, steal their money, and there would be nothing anyone in the USA could do about it.

We will start with the fact that the Department of Justice and Interpol share the same office building. Very Fishy. The amended EO now makes Interpol totally and completely unaccountable to US law. Blackwater brownshirt types who hate America will be hired by the droves to work for Interpol and they will be able to torture Americans, put them in prison forever, and kill them for any reason and there is not one single US law Interpol must respect or abide. Before December 17, 2009 Interpol records could be checked and these records could be turned over to the media or curious US citizens through Freedom of Information requests. If Interpol did not submit Freedom of Information information to the media or whoever wanted it the United States could sic the FBI on them and make them turn over the information or get the heck out of the United States. Not any more. Now Interpol does not have to follow any US law and there is absolutely nothing President Obama, the US Congress, any US citizen, or any person on this planet can do about it. Too bad, so sad, _uck you America.

So why would Eric Holder, Louie Freeh, the communi$t$ Rothschilds and Rockefellers want this? Interpol is controlled by the bad guys, Rothschilds, Rockefellers and communi$t$. It is a done deal the communi$t$ have directed Interpol to hire FBI agents, ATF agents, Louie Freeh's LHATE thugs, Blackwater thugs, John Negroponte, General Petraeus, Mr. Gates, this player and that player and all the Interpol new hires will instantly be able to torture Americans, steal money from Jewish people, Holocaust Jewish people, or whatever they want to do with zero recourse. No rules. Just one big abusive party. Mr. Rothschild. "Want to torture and kill like we killed Jews? No problem. You work for Interpol. Have fun. All I ask is for you to send me the snuff pictures."

Well Americans might say Interpol does not have jurisdiction over me and even if they did Interpol would have to give me my 6th Amendment rights. Nope. Nope. Nope. Thanks to comrade Obama December 17 number on Executive Order 12425 Interpol now has no US laws to hold them accountable to the US Constitutional rights bestowed the American people. Interpol is a brown shirt Blackwater thug terrorist safe house located in the same office building as the US Justice Department making war on the United States Constitution. Interpol is told what to do by the same communi$t thugs who own Goldman Sachs, the Federal Reserve, who are responsible for September 11, the Holocaust, the 2008 economic meltdown, the Haiti earthquake, who anointed comarades Little George and Obama, who developed and distribute AIDS, the Rothschilds and Rockefellers. Interpol was formed by Rothschild Rockefeller, they financed Hitler's Nazi Germany, and effectively ran Hitler's Secrete police. The German guy pictured above, Paul Dickoff, started out about like a Blackwater thug, a Hitler brownshirt, Sturmabteilung, and then ran Interpol during the 1970s.

So why would Eric Holder and Barack Obama sign on to an Executive Order which is so obviously treason and undermines the US Constitution and the reason the United States was formed. Eric Holder has a very checkered past that was covered up by the Senate not going there during his confirmation hearings. Holder was the Justice Department man in charge when an expert sniper shot and murdered Vicki Weaver the wife of Randy Weaver, at their home in Idaho. This may happen daily now that the Justice Department and interpol can merge. Eric Holder was the Justice Department man in charge when the women and children and everyone at the Branch Dividian Compound were deliberately burned up. Who cares? Not the US Congress. This may lead to a way for bad guys to combat boredom now that the Justice Department and Rothschild Rockefeller Hitler's Nazi Interpol can merge.

The Marc Rich pardon, the fact Holder rejected the Geneva Convention provisions in at least one case, Columbian death squads, Internet usage, and now Interpol leads me to believe this country has got a problem with him as Attorney General.

So Eric Holder was in charge on what may be the most common day in the history of the United States. The day every person on Earth saw women and children burned to death deliberately in Waco. Yep. Why didn't this come out during Holder's confirmation hearing? Logic dictates US Senate conferees could care less. What about Barack? Why did he sign the amended EO 12425? Why do you think the Rothschilds and Rockefellers made him president. Obama is not loyal to America. Obama is not eligible to be president because his father was not a US citizen. Barack Obama has got serious problems including a lack of loyalty to the United States. There is strong evidence in Internetland that the technology exists to induce earthquakes and there are even web sites which basically state the US Navy is responsible for the Haiti Earthquake. This does not bode well for Americans of any color. Certainly Obama's signing the Executive Order amendment 12425 does not bode well for any American.

Executive Order Amended to Immunize INTERPOL In America - Is The ICC Next?
By Steve Schippert, Clyde Middleton | December 23, 2009
Last Thursday, December 17, 2009, The White House released an Executive Order "Amending Executive Order 12425." It grants INTERPOL (International Criminal Police Organization) a new level of full diplomatic immunity afforded to foreign embassies and select other "International Organizations" as set forth in the United States International Organizations Immunities Act of 1945.
By removing language from President Reagan's 1983 Executive Order 12425, this international law enforcement body now operates - now operates - on American soil beyond the reach of our own top law enforcement arm, the FBI, and is immune from Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA) requests.
For Immediate Release December 17, 2009
Executive Order -- Amending Executive Order 12425
EXECUTIVE ORDER

AMENDING EXECUTIVE ORDER 12425 DESIGNATING INTERPOL
AS A PUBLIC INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION ENTITLED TO
ENJOY CERTAIN PRIVILEGES, EXEMPTIONS, AND IMMUNITIES

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©, Section 3, Section 4, Section 5, and Section 6 of that Act" and the semicolon that immediately precedes them.

BARACK OBAMA

THE WHITE HOUSE,
December 16, 2009.
After initial review and discussions between the writers of this analysis, the context was spelled out plainly.
Through EO 12425, President Reagan extended to INTERPOL recognition as an "International Organization." In short, the privileges and immunities afforded foreign diplomats was extended to INTERPOL. Two sets of important privileges and immunities were withheld: Section 2© and the remaining sections cited (all of which deal with differing taxes).
And then comes December 17, 2009, and President Obama. The exemptions in EO 12425 were removed.
Section 2c of the United States International Organizations Immunities Act is the crucial piece.
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. (Emphasis added.)
Inviolable archives means INTERPOL records are beyond US citizens' Freedom of Information Act requests and from American legal or investigative discovery ("unless such immunity be expressly waived.")
Property and assets being immune from search and confiscation means precisely that. Wherever they may be in the United States. This could conceivably include human assets - Americans arrested on our soil by INTERPOL officers.
Context: International Criminal Court
The importance of this last crucial point cannot be understated, because this immunity and protection - and elevation above the US Constitution - afforded INTERPOL is likely a precursor to the White House subjecting the United States under the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court (ICC). INTERPOL provides a significant enforcement function for the ICC, just as our FBI provides a significant function for our Department of Justice.
We direct the American public to paragraph 28 of the ICC's Proposed Programme Budget for 2010 (PDF).
29. Additionally, the Court will continue to seek the cooperation of States not party to the Rome Statute and to develop its relationships with regional organizations such as the Organization of American States (OAS), the Arab League (AL), the African Union (AU), the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC), ASEAN and CARICOM. We will also continue to engage with subregional and thematic organizations, such as SADC and ECOWAS, and the Commonwealth Secretariat and the OIF. This will be done through high level visits, briefings and, as appropriate, relationship agreements. Work will also be carried out with sectoral organizations such as IDLO and INTERPOL, to increase efficiency.
The United States is not a party to the Rome Statute - the UN treaty that established the International Criminal Court. (See: Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court)
President George W. Bush rejected subjecting the United States to the jurisdiction of the ICC and removed the United States as a signatory. President Bill Clinton had previously signed the Rome Statute during his presidency. Two critical matters are at play. One is an overall matter of sovereignty and the concept of the primacy of American law above those of the rest of the world. But more recently a more over-riding concern principally has been the potential - if not likely - specter of subjecting our Armed Forces to a hostile international body seeking war crimes prosecutions during the execution of an unpopular war.
President Bush in fact went so far as to gain agreement from nations that they would expressly not detain or hand over to the ICC members of the United States armed forces. The fear of a symbolic ICC circus trial as a form of international political protest to American military actions in Iraq and elsewhere was real and palpable.
President Obama's words have been carefully chosen when directly regarding the ICC. While President Bush outright rejected subjugating American armed forces to any international court as a matter of policy, President Obama said in his 2008 presidential campaign that it is merely "premature to commit" to signing America on.
However, in a Foreign Policy in Focus round-table in 2008, the host group cited his former foreign policy advisor, Samantha Power. She essentially laid down what can be viewed as now-President Obama's roadmap to America rejoining the ICC. His principal objections are not explained as those of sovereignty, but rather of image and perception.
Obama's former foreign policy advisor, Samantha Power, said in an early March (2008) interview with The Irish Times that many things need to happen before Obama could think about signing the Rome Treaty.
"Until we've closed Guantánamo, gotten out of Iraq responsibly, renounced torture and rendition, shown a different face for America, American membership of the ICC is going to make countries around the world think the ICC is a tool of American hegemony.
The detention center at Guantánamo Bay is nearing its closure and an alternate continental American site for terrorist detention has been selected in Illinois. The time line for Iraq withdrawal has been set. And President Obama has given an abundance of international speeches intended to "show a different face for America." He has in fact been roundly criticized domestically for the routinely apologetic and critical nature of these speeches.
President Obama has not rejected the concept of ICC jurisdiction over US citizens and service members. He has avoided any direct reference to this while offering praise for the ICC for conducting its trials so far "in America's interests." The door thus remains wide open to the skeptical observer.
CONCLUSIONS
In light of what we know and can observe, it is our logical conclusion that President Obama's Executive Order amending President Ronald Reagans' 1983 EO 12425 and placing INTERPOL above the United States Constitution and beyond the legal reach of our own top law enforcement is a precursor to more damaging moves.
The pre-requisite conditions regarding the Iraq withdrawal and the Guantanamo Bay terrorist detention facility closure will continue their course. meanwhile, the next move from President Obama is likely an attempt to dissolve the agreements made between President Bush and other states preventing them from turning over American military forces to the ICC (via INTERPOL) for war crimes or any other prosecutions.
When the paths on the road map converge - Iraq withdrawal, Guantánamo closure, perceived American image improved internationally, and an empowered INTERPOL in the United States - it is probable that President Barack Obama will once again make America a signatory to the International Criminal Court. It will be a move that surrenders American sovereignty to an international body whose INTERPOL enforcement arm has already been elevated above the Constitution and American domestic law enforcement.
For an added and disturbing wrinkle, INTERPOL's central operations office in the United States is within our own Justice Department offices. They are American law enforcement officers working under the aegis of INTERPOL within our own Justice Department. That they now operate with full diplomatic immunity and with "inviolable archives" from within our own buildings should send red flags soaring into the clouds.
This is the disturbing context for President Obama's quiet release of an amended Executive Order 12425. American sovereignty hangs in the balance if these actions are not prevented through public outcry and political pressure. Some Americans are paying attention, as can be seen from some of the earliest recognitions of this troubling development here, here and here. But the discussion must extend well beyond the Internet and social media.
Ultimately, a detailed verbal explanation is due the American public from the President of the United States detailing why an international law enforcement arm assisting a court we are not a signatory to has been elevated above our Constitution upon our soil.

That is specifically against the 6th Amendment to the Constitution but hey what is a bit of paper to a bunch of thugs whose friends once had wet dreams about locking up large swaths of the public for having the wrong thoughts…don’t believe me? Check out this interview with Larry Grathwohl.

Boy is that a fun video or what? Yea Ayers did not get prosecuted, but it was because the left had gotten to the courts prior to these cases and weakened our laws so much that he was released on technicalities.
Obama and his allies are right this very moment attacking swiftly on all fronts…not with half measures designed to win your approval but with full on outright lawlessness that depends on your not believing it is happening. Based on the reaction of Republicans in Congress the left has their opponents pegged. I would like to say that the left has their enemies pegged but the mainstream Republicans are no one’s enemies. They want to be loved. Obama is at war and the Republicans want to be loved. Be scared.

(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

With Obama, always, always look at the other hand…
Yesterday, it was brought to my attention by Pierre Legrand that President Obama signed an Executive Order on December 17th that no one and I mean no one, reported on. Cue the crickets… As horrifying as the health care legislation is and I personally believe it is worthy of revolt, this Executive Order has the potential to be monstrous.
Here is the Executive Order:

BARACK OBAMA
Nudge, nudge folks… This seems a minor change but let us break it out for you as we see it. Let’s look at the section from Executive Order 12425.
Here’s the text of 2(c), which this Executive Order 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.
This now says that Interpol is no longer subject to the Freedom of Information Act. Their premises or staff can no longer be searched either. Their files are not subject to legal subpoena or discovery. Our government could just hand documents and files over to Interpol and Americans would no longer have access to them. Interpol can legally keep files now on all citizens of the US with no right to redress.
In reality, we have just handed over our sovereignty. Interpol headquarters in the US is currently headquartered in the Department of Justice. A ‘separate’ Interpol agency has been created in the DOJ – let that sink in for a moment. Interpol has been granted diplomatic immunity now by Obama – they have exemption from being subject to search and seizure by law enforcement, US taxes and immunity from FOIA requests, etc. This action could also be used to divulge American military secrets and a whole host of horrific practices having to do with going after our military. It’s the road to internationalism on steroids.
I contend this is the foundation for an international governing and policing body. A modern day SS here in the US if you like. Remember how Obama wanted to create a civilian police force? Well, it’s here, just from a direction I never saw it coming from. I really believe you will see Interpol police forces on US soil in the near future. It will resemble the Gestapo and their intelligence gathering techniques. This police force would not be subject to our normal Constitutional oversights – remember, no search and seizure etc. You have to admire the evil genius behind all this. Just stunning.
For a great overview of all this, listen to Steve Schippert’s radio broadcast:
http://takethatradio.com/index.php/2009/12/22/the-steve-schippert-show-december-22-2009/
The Patriot Room also has a great article: Obama exempts INTERPOL from search and seizure on US lands
INTERPOL, an international criminal police organization, is now poised to reside above the United States Constitution – in a place of sanctity beyond our FBI, CIA, DIA, and all other criminal investigatory domestic organizations.
President Obama has just placed our Constitutional rights under international law.



Paul Dickopf in German Army Uniform. Interpol President in the early 1970s.

Garry Hamilton has this to say:
It is well to know who these people are, and where they’ve been. Though the expression “modern day SS” sounds like a hyperbolic metaphor, an examination of Interpol’s roots shows that it is, in fact, more literally true than that.
I was in Europe in 1973 when an expose was published, revealing that many, if not all, of the presidents of Interpol from the late 1930s or early ’40s until at least 1972 were Nazi Gestapo and SS officers. Reinhard (“The Hangman”), Heydrich (also head of Nazi SS Intelligence Service) and Gestapo chief Ernst Kaltenbrunner. By 1942 Interpol was consolidated with the Nazi Central Police, run by the Gestapo. As the Nazis invaded cities throughout Europe, police files from each were seized and evidently integrated into Interpol’s files. In 1972 the sitting Interpol President was Paul Dickopf, former Nazi SS officer (SS #337259).
The source on this? The Simon Wiesenthal Center. Simon Wiesenthal is pretty much the most famous of the post-war Nazi hunters, having impressively thorough files.
Interpol isn’t just any old bunch of thugs. They are rooted in one of the most effective and ruthless gang of thugs anywhere, ever.
If there is anything at all that can be done to nullify this Executive Order, it needs to be done soonest.

The idea of an American President enlisting the aid of both old Communists and old Nazis to bring about the fall of the United States is the stuff of rejected bad novel plots. No one would ever buy a plot that cheesy.
I mean, really, would you go see a movie about a President who rose to power through voter fraud and union thuggery, and then brought in the survivors of the two most virulent enemies the country has ever had in order to deliver the knock-out punch to our culture and nation?
No, you wouldn’t. It would be the stupidest piece of modern fiction on record. It’s totally unbelievable as a story line.
Yeah, it’s really lame fiction.
It makes for even worse reality.
Interpol are not the good guys. Nothing good can come from giving them any domain at all in our country.
And Garry is so very right…
Before we let you go, I want to remind you of some of the ‘civilian army’ items that we have showcased before:

Remember, Obama did this while no one was looking and while they were distracted. No media outlet is looking into it. No one is ringing alarm bells. This is happening and it is here. The Trojan Horse of health care for all was definitely a pig with lipstick. The Interpol Executive Order is a shiny Trojan Horse that has the potential to grind America beneath Obama’s bootheel…
Update:

-------------------------

6th Amendment - The Speedy Trial Clause

The Speedy Trial Clause guarantees that you must be tried quickly if you are charged with a crime. Why is this so important that the Founding Fathers would add it to the Bill of Rights?

Well, if you weren't guaranteed a speedy trial, you could sit in jail for months or years without being tried! That was a frequent occurrence in English history. The Founding Fathers wanted to protect themselves and you from this in the new government they were creating. The 6th Amendment's Speedy Trial Clause reads like this:

"In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy... trial."

You can read more about the Speedy Trial Clause here.

6th Amendment - The Public Trial Clause

The Public Trial Clause guarantees that if you are ever charged with a crime, you must be tried in a public trial. Don't like the sound of that? It might be embarrassing! You wouldn't like the results though if trials were held in secret. The judge or other officials could file false charges against you, not allow you to defend yourself or throw you in prison with no evidence!

That's what happened to many people in European and English history. People were tortured and even executed in secret trials. That's why the Founding Fathers were determined to protect people from being tried in secret. Aren't you glad they were? The Public Trial Clause reads like this:

"In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a... public trial"

You can read more about the Public Trial Clause here.

6th Amendment - The Right to Trial by Jury Clause

The Right to Trial by Jury Clause protects you from persecution by corrupt judges, who might sentence you unfairly if trials were held in secret. The Founding Fathers were aware of the history in England and Europe of people being sentenced to lengthy prison terms, tortured or even killed in secret trials. If you were accused in this situation, you often had no chance to defend yourself and the charges were often trumped up to eliminate political and religious dissent.

By requiring a jury to be involved in a trial, serious and sometimes fatal decisions are taken out of the hands of a few judges or officials, and are put into the hands of a group of average citizens who look over the evidence. This greatly reduces the possibility of corruption in the trial.

The 6th Amendment Right to Trial by Jury Clause reads like this:

"In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a... trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law."

The right to trial by jury had already been established in English history for more than 500 years when the Founding Fathers built it into the Bill of Rights' 6th Amendment. Find out more about the Right to Trial by Jury Clause here.

6th Amendment - The Arraignment Clause

The Arraignment Clause requires that if you are ever charged with a crime, you must be fully informed of the nature and cause of the accusation against you. The Arraignment Clause reads like this:

"In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right... to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation."

This was a very important right to the Founding Fathers, most of whose ancestors had fled to America to avoid religious persecution. In England, it was common for people who did not agree with the Church of England to be pulled into court and sentenced and never even know what the charges were. Without this protection, courts could throw people in prison unjustly, make up false charges or punish people with whom they disagreed. You can read more about the Arraignment Clause here.

6th Amendment - The Confrontation Clause

The Confrontation Clause guarantees one of the key elements in any trial, the right to confront the witnesses who are accusing you. This clause requires that your accusers must appear in your presence and make the accusations face to face. The clause also gives you the right to cross-examine them. The Confrontation Clause reads like this:

"In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right... to be confronted with the witnesses against him."

If you were not allowed to cross-examine your accuser, the prosecution could make up all kinds of false accusations against you and the jury would never know whether or not he was telling the truth. By having the witnesses testify in person, the judge and jury are able to see the person up close. They can observe their behavior and demeanor, and can make a better judgment about the person's credibility.

English history had many occurrences of people being tried in court and never seeing their accusers. Sir Walter Raleigh, an early American explorer, was even put to death based on such an accusation. The Founding Fathers believed this was inherently unfair and put a stop to it in America by adding the 6th Amendment to the Bill of Rights. You can read more about the Confrontation Clause here.

6th Amendment - The Compulsory Process Clause

The 6th Amendment's Compulsory Process Clause guarantees two primary things. First of all that you will be able to call witnesses in your behalf if you are ever charged with a crime. Second, that the court will subpoena the witnesses if they refuse to testify. The Compulsory Process Clause reads like this:

"In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right... to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor."

This right was very important to the Founding Fathers who wrote the United States Constitution. They were familiar with English and colonial laws that forbid people from calling witnesses in cases of treason or felony. It was also the English and colonial practice not to allow people to testify in their own behalf! In adopting the Compulsory Process Clause, the Founders were trying to protect people from the government using its great power and resources to convict and punish people unfairly. They saw the right to defend oneself with witnesses as a key to this protection. You can read more about the Compulsory Process Clause here.

6th Amendment - The Right to Counsel Clause

The Right to Counsel Clause guarantees that you can have a lawyer to assist you if you are charged with a crime. The modern courts have even determined that this clause gives you the right to have a court appointed attorney, paid for at the public's expense, if you cannot afford to hire your own. The Right to Counsel Clause reads like this:

"In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right... to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence."

The Founding Fathers did not originally intend for this clause to mean that the public must provide an attorney for defendants in criminal cases. Instead, they meant to guarantee the right to hire a private attorney if one was desired. You can find out how this change occurred and more about the Right to Counsel clause here.

Attn: Sir/Madam.

The office of the international police (INTERPOL) hereby write to inform you that we caught a diplomatic lady called Mrs. Dorothy Wallace at (John F. Kennedy International Airport) here in New -York with parcel box filed with united state dollars.

Meanwhile, base on our interview to the diplomat (Mrs. Dorothy Wallace) she said that the parcel box belongs to you, that she was sent by Dr. Craw Williams from the Central Bank Of Nigeria to deliver the parcel box to your doorstep, not knowing that the content of the parcel box is money. The diplomat also said that her first transit in the states was at Cincinnati Northern, Kentucky International Airport Ohio.

Now, the diplomat is under detention in the office of (INTERPOL) security, and we cannot release her until we carry out our proper investigation on how this huge amount of money managed to be yours before we will release her with the box. So, in this regard, you are to re-assure and prove to us that the money you are about to receive is legal by sending us the Award Ownership Certificate showing that the money is not illegal.

Note that the Award Ownership Certificate must to be secured from the office of the Senate president in Nigeria, because that is the only office that will issue you the original Award Ownership Certificate of these funds.

You are advised to forward immediately the Award Ownership Certificate if you have it with you, but if you do not have it, we will urge you as a matter of urgency to contact back the sender of the diplomat to help you secure the Award Ownership Certificate if at all you did not have it.

Below is the contact information of the person that sent the diplomat.
