Appearing on Infowars Nightly News Wednesday, Kentucky Senator Rand Paul said that he fears the international police agency Interpol has been granted too much authority to operate without oversight in the United States.

Paul suggested that new powers granted to Interpol by president Obama could see US citizens arrested or even extradited by the agency under foreign laws.

“I’m kind of concerned about having an international police force in our country with the ability, maybe, to extradite US citizens and send them to another country.” The Senator said.

“Egypt, as you know over the last few months has been holding some American pro-Democracy workers in their country and they were going to try them on trumped up political charges. So a couple of months ago I said ‘you know what, we send two billion dollars to a country that treats us this way?’ So I tried to hold up their foreign aid, and as a consequence, part of what I was doing, they released our American citizens.”

“Then they came home and Secretary Clinton went and released their aid. I wrote her a letter and said she shouldn’t do it because these prosecutions were still ongoing.” The Senator said.

“They also made the US taxpayer pay a five million dollar ransom for these Americans to come home, promising they would come back to stand trial. But this week we have learned that Egypt has asked Interpol for a national warrant, they have these red letter warrants, that can be used anywhere in the world.”

The Senator has also penned a letter to the president regarding the matter this week.

“Most people say ‘that could never happen in America, we would never let that happen’, but Interpol is doing this in other countries.” Paul noted.

“Saudi Arabia ask Interpol to return a Saudi journalist from Malaysia, who had said something about Mohammed that they had found offensive, and they were going to accuse him of blasphemy.” The Senator added.

“Interpol picked him up in Malaysia and took him back to Saudi Arabia. He will now face the death penalty. But the scary thing is he is being picked up by Interpol. What kind of authority does Interpol have in the United States?”

The Senator pointed out that it was Obama who granted Interpol immunity to operate by way of Executive Order 12425, adding an amendment altering restrictions on other Governmental agencies to the limits the US Constitution.

Paul then spoke more generally regarding the administration increasingly attempting to bypass the Congress on important matters.

“One of the interactions in the last couple of weeks, it was very very telling,” said Paul, “was the interaction between Senator Sessions and Secretary Panetta in a committee, in which Panetta said that if we go to war, of course we’ll consult with the UN and get their approval. Sessions asked him ‘isn’t there a role here under the constitution for Congress?’ And Panetta basically just kept going on about NATO, the UN, and then he finally said ‘we would probably inform Congress of what we are doing, but never in there was there any understanding that they had to get approval or permission from Congress.”

When asked what could be done about such attempts to skirt Congress, the Senator cut straight to the point.

“I think the first thing is to try and stop him in his tracks.” Paul said. “We tried very hard on the Libya motion. In fact, when he went to war in Libya we introduced his own words from 2007 when he ran for office and said that no president should unilaterally go to war without Congressional authority, which basically just re-states the Constitution.”

“And then he went around and did exactly the opposite when he became president. And this is not the first time a Democrat or a Republican has changed their mind once they became president, they believe in limitations on presidential power until they actually become president.”

The Senator spoke at length regarding other issues including moves to control and censor the internet, the backlash against the TSA, and his father’s ongoing campaign, and the rumours of him being nominated as a candidate for Vice President.

Senator Rand Paul has left the door open for a potential VP slot – exclusively telling the Alex Jones Show that it is an honor to even be considered – although he said such a scenario was unlikely to unfold.

 

Paul was included on a shortlist of ten possible candidates to become Mitt Romney’s running mate by the Washington Post earlier this week. Speculation that Rand or his father Congressman Ron Paul could be in line for the VP slot has circulated for months.

As we reported last week, there is also discussion that the powerful Bilderberg Group will have a role to play in selecting Romney’s running mate at their upcoming confab, just as they selected both John Edwards in 2004 and Joe Biden in 2008 as Vice-Presidential candidates.

“If there’s a secret plan for that to happen it’s so secret that no one’s let me in on it yet,” remarked Paul, saying he doubted it would happen and that nobody from the Romney campaign had asked him about it.

However, the Kentucky Senator left the door open, adding, “I do tell people to be considered to be the Vice-President of the United States is an honor – I mean obviously it is – I know some people might not like hearing that but the truth is it is an honor to be considered and to know that you could have an influence on the direction the country goes.”

Speaking about the wider strategy behind Ron Paul’s presidential campaign, the Senator said it was now probable that Romney would collect sufficient delegates over the next two months to secure the nomination and that a brokered convention was unlikely.

However, Rand said there was still a chance that Ron Paul could secure a guaranteed position at the Republican National Convention, and he urged Republicans to reach out and make it happen, pointing out that the strength and passion behind the Ron Paul campaign has seen thousands of people attend his rallies of all different races, ages and economic status.

“You see much more diverse crowds at the Ron Paul rallies, and particularly the youth, than you see at any Republican function…the Republicans if they had half a clue would realize nationally that Ron Paul is a phenomenon getting five to ten thousand people at speeches, more than any other candidate, and they need to realize that they need that momentum and they need that to win in the fall, and I’m just hoping they will do some outreach to him to try to get him to participate in their convention” said Paul.

What do you think? Would Rand Paul running as Romney’s VP represent an opportunity to inject real constitutional ideas into the body politic – affording Rand a national platform in the VP debate to spread the message of liberty – or would it signify an attempt by the establishment to co-opt and dilute the entire Ron Paul Revolution of which Rand has become a leading light?
