Surrendering America's Sovereignty To...

May 13th, 2022

You need to act immediately, even today, as this is the deadline to register your objection to the surrender of our national sovereignty.

Congresswoman Michele Bachmann and columnist Leo Hohmann were the first to alert me to this and we sent out a newsletter about this a few days ago. Below is a note from my good friend and security specialist, Frank Gaffney:

"As you may know, the Biden administration has proposed sweeping amendments to the International Health Regulations treaty that authorizes the World Health Organization to operate worldwide. As the attached point paper makes clear, these amendments would grant extraordinary authority to WHO’s Director-General, Tedros Ghebreyesus, to declare “public health emergencies of international concern” and what must be done in response to such 'emergencies.'

"I encourage you to draw upon the point paper (below) as you express opposition to the Department of Health and Human Services that has point in the upcoming meeting where the amendments are expected to be adopted by the World Health Assembly on 22-28 May in Geneva.

"Comments need to be in by 10 a.m. tomorrow morning by sending an email to oga.rsvp@hhs.gov."

Here is the email that Frank Gaffney sent to the Department of Health and Human Services:

"My name is Frank J. Gaffney. I am the Executive Chairman of the Center for Security Policy and Vice Chairman of the Committee on the Present Danger: China. My email address is Gaffney@SecureFreedom.org.

“The Center for Security Policy and the Committee on the Present Danger: China are deeply concerned about the threat posed by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and others determined to displace, harm or even destroy the United States of America. The CCP, in particular, has been relentlessly engaged in what it calls “unrestricted warfare” against our country, utilizing every imaginable technique to achieve its stated goal of global domination.

“One of those techniques is using multilateral, UN and other institutions to advance its strategic objectives. This was much in evidence especially at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic when one such institution, the World Health Organization under its Director-General Dr. Tedros Ghebereysus – a man who owes his position to Chinese support, promoted the CCP’s false narratives about the origins, nature and effective responses to the SARS-CoV-2 virus. It is no exaggeration to say that millions of people, including many Americans, needlessly lost their lives as a result.

“Every official of the Department of Health and Human Services, and for that matter, every other agency of the federal government, has sworn a solemn oath to preserve and defend the Constitution of the United States. Efforts to seek the adoption of amendments that would give any unaccountable international bureaucrat – let alone one with the appalling track-record of Dr. Tedros – the right, at his (or her) sole discretion, to declare, characterize and respond to undefined “public health emergencies of international concern” are not consistent with that oath. Neither are they with the public health of the American people nor our national security.

“I urge in the strongest possible terms that such amendments be rescinded, revoked and renounced before they are considered by the 75th World Health Assembly.

Best,

Frank”

You can make yours much shorter if you prefer, and state that you do not want to surrender America’s national sovereignty to WHO or any other organization. Please write your email now and send to oga.rsvp@hhs.gov If you want to understand this issue further, here is more information:

STOP THE SURRENDER OF U.S. SOVEREIGNTY TO THE W.H.O.

On January 18, 2022, the Biden Administration submitted at the last moment 13 amendments to the World Health Organization International Health Regulation (IHR) Treaty in advance of a meeting of the World Health Assembly (WHA) in Geneva from May 22-28. Taken together, these amendments would materially alter the Treaty to which the U.S. Senate gave its advice and consent in 2005 by surrendering national sovereignty and independence to an international organization that is under the influence of the Chinese Communist Party.

All other things being equal, the WHA is expected to approve the amendments. That must not be allowed to happen lest a CCP henchman like Dr. Tedros Ghebreyesus, Director General of the WHO, be able to dictate not only public health policy but whatever other events he decides constitute “public health emergencies of international concern.” As U.S. government officials have depicted gun violence and climate change as threats to public health, it is not hard to imagine the extent of the overreach the administration’s amendments would enable.

Even in the medical domain, the WHO would have the authority to invoke the amended IHR to order how diseases other-than-pandemics will be treated. Imposing lockdowns, mask- and vaccine-mandates and vaccine passports – in other words, promoting the “China Model” – will likely be at top of the agenda for Tedros, as it is for his masters in Beijing.

These arrangements, if adopted, would deny the American people the accountability inherent in their representative form of government, including on matters of life and death. They would also fatally compromise that government’s ability to have national interests, rather than supranational directives, drive policy choices.

The Biden administration’s amendments as submitted by Loyce Pace, the Assistant Secretary for Global Affairs of the Department of Health and Human Services, can be found here. Specific problems with these amendments include:

The Director General of the WHO will be empowered to declare unilaterally “Public Health Emergency of International Concern.”
Such declarations can be set in motion by nothing more than information “in the public domain,” without regard to the authority or credibility of such information.
There will be no sovereign ability to override, reject or veto the Director General’s decision.
The Director General’s decision can be delegated to the WHO’s regional directors who are authorized, in turn, to declare Public Health Emergencies of Regional Concern.
Emergency and Compliance Committees are established with seemingly benign charters, but the potential to take on compulsory functions.
Any country can declare itself to be an “affected party,” affording it standing in connection with the declaration of public health emergencies.

It is unclear whether and how the U.S. Senate would consider and treat such material changes to the 2005 IHR Treaty. As a result, a concerted effort must be made now to prevent the Biden amendments’ adoption during the upcoming World Health Assembly in Geneva.
