Our friend Stephen Moore prompted us toward a new way of looking at one of the worst disasters to come out of the recent passage of the “minibus” government funding package.
In an article titled “Why Are We Still Funding the WHO?” in yesterday’s issue of his Committee to Unleash Prosperity Hotline Steve reminded us that President Trump sent notice of the U.S. withdrawal from the World Health Organization, which performed disgracefully during COVID, getting nearly every fact and recommendation dead wrong.
“Had the WHO done its job to get medical experts into China to objectively assess the situation on the ground and to call out China’s lack of transparency, the outbreak could have been contained at its source with very little death,” then-President Trump said in withdrawing the United States from the WHO.
Unfortunately, that withdrawal never took effect because Biden canceled it.
Republicans in the House included strong language blocking funding for the WHO in this year's appropriations bills – but ended up backing down and putting the funding back in the final compromise version.
That was a huge loss because the WHO is set to radically expand its power, and Biden has enthusiastically signed us up for this assault against American sovereignty:
As John Tierney explains:
With the support of the Biden administration, the World Health Organization (WHO) is seeking unprecedented powers to impose its policies on the United States and the rest of the world during the next pandemic...
The WHO hopes to begin this power grab in May at its annual assembly in Geneva, where members will vote on proposed changes in international health regulations and a new treaty governing pandemics. Pamela Hamamoto, the State Department official representing the U.S. in negotiations, has already declared that America is committed to signing a pandemic treaty that will “build a stronger global health architecture,” which is precisely what we don’t need...
Nations that sign the pandemic treaty would promise to “cooperate” in “preventing misinformation and disinformation,” which presumably means silencing scientists who disagree with the WHO’s conclusions and edicts.
In other words, thanks to Senate Democrats, Joe Biden, and a few Uniparty Republicans, rather than withdraw from and defund the WHO, Americans are now paying to surrender our sovereignty at the May meeting of the World Health Organization.
How much will we be paying?
Funding provided to the State Department and USAID through the Global Health Programs (GHP) account in the budget, which represents the bulk of global health assistance, totals $10 billion. There’s another $1.5 billion in the Labor, HHS accounts, although not all of that approximately $11.5 billion goes to fund WHO day-to-day operations, much of it will pass through to programs like pandemic response and programs like AIDs and “family planning.”
The best estimate is the U.S. will contribute at least $1 billion to WHO day-to-day operations to, among other things, undermine American sovereignty.
And the concern about the loss of American sovereignty is not a paranoid fantasy of Rightwing whackos as Democrats would have us believe.
How is this going to work? Our friend Dr. Kat Lindley explains on X.
The World Health Organization (WHO), led by its Director-General Dr. Tedros Ghebreyesus, who owes his rise to the Chinese Communist Party, is finalizing documents that would allow the WHO to dictate global public health policy. The result will be a crushing of national sovereignty and individual medical freedoms in the United States and the world.
The WHO would accomplish this via a Pandemic Treaty and by amending International Health Regulations that would oblige the U.S. and 195 other nations to submit to whatever its Director-General deems to be an actual or potential “Public Health Emergency of International Concern” (PHEIC). All Member Countries must also carry out whatever the Director-General determines is the appropriate response. Such PHEICs can include perceived “health” emergencies other than pandemics, including for example: climate change, reproductive health, immigration, gun violence or even potential emergencies involving plants, animals or ecosystems.
After Tedros and the World Health Organization’s catastrophic mishandling of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is utterly unacceptable to give the WHO still more, let alone binding, control over our public health to impose the same measures—based on the China model—that failed so spectacularly last time. Considering the enormity of the stakes, preventing our country from being subjected to such medical tyranny masquerading as “global health and pandemic preparedness” has taken on critical urgency.
Neither instrument can be fixed, as they violate our Constitution and trample our rights as citizens of our federal constitutional republic.
The Capitol Switchboard is (202-224-3121), call your Senators TODAY and demand they act to subject the pandemic treaty to a Senate review and then vote NO when it comes before the Senate for ratification.

There will be a lot of civil disobedience if this becomes policy. American's are slow to react to such threats, but we will not cave to international rules that force us to undergo a shot routine in order to possess the right to live as we see fit. Regardless of what Congress does or doesn't do, this measure is dead on arrival.
The globalists are rolling...rolling over everyone in their way. They didn't steal 2020 for nothing.
This is exactly what concerned the Virginia delegation at the Constitutional Convention in 1787: Article VI paragraph 2 made treaties the supreme law of the land. Not much earlier, the British parliament had decided that treaties the Crown had entered into affected only foreign relations, not domestic law. Convention delegates were well aware of this. Why did they leave that paragraph intact? It's time to dust off the Bricker amendments.
The GOP has been failing us for decades. Since at least 1964. So this should not be a surprise.
