The Pandemic Treaty was big news last year until it was "defeated." But it wasn't actually defeated and now it's about to be signed by Joe Biden. Why is nobody talking about it?
How do you con conservatives into backing off on an issue? You tell them you’re sorry and you won’t do it again. We saw it with PayPal who apologized for the “mistake” of threatening to confiscate $2500 from users for wrongthink. Conservatives saw this apology as a victory and stopped pressing the point. But the $2500 penalty still remains and nobody’s talking about it.
That’s nothing compared to the odd lack of concern from conservative and alternative media regarding the Pandemic Treaty with the World Health Organization. Last year, it was huge news from March until July when it was allegedly “defeated.” But as I’ve said since then, it was only delayed. Now, the deadline has quietly creeped up on us and Joe Biden will be signing onto it as early as February 27. Yes, next week.
Where’s the outrage? Where are conservative politicians who should be screaming about a president unilaterally signing away our sovereignty? Where are the conservative pundits and alternative media show hosts who were rightly apoplectic last year? Pandemic Treaty 2.0 is about to be signed and there’s barely a whimper coming from our best journalistic warriors.

P
I will not recognize this and will not comply. The UN has ZERO authority to do this. Please forward my mail to the WEF gulag/re-education camp, please.
Whatever he signs is not law.
It’s only if Congress ratifies his treaty.
If Congress ratifies it, the US is done.
Is it 60% Senate to ratify?
Everyone just focuses on the crisis of the day which is predetermined by media.
> Why is nobody talking about it? <
I’ll field that one. Most average Americans (D and R) are decent people. They want to do what’s right. I’m sure of that.
Now here’s the thing. The media is no longer neutral. They are now nothing more than far-left propagandists. And at least 60% of the country hears nothing but their propaganda.
Events are hidden. Events are camouflaged. And so at least 60% of the country wanders around in the dark. I really don’t see how that can be changed.
better yet.
It still leaves the possibility that the Dems might adjourn the Senate and hold a vote with the legally required number of Senators that votes 2/3 for this treaty while everybody else is on their way home.
WHY is Biden doing this? He is a TRAITOR.
Senate quorum to do business is 51. A majority of Senators present is not a quorum. Fifty-one actual votes by roll call are needed.
The problem is the disappearing boundary between an ‘international agreement’ and a treaty.
Yes he is.
This is expressly forbidden by the U. S. Constitution the
way I understand it.
He has plenty of company too.
How many Republican Senators are RINO’s?
There is your 51, if they agree.
Where’s the Outrage? Great question. There is none.
About 18 Senators spoke out against this today, led by Rob Johnson of Ohio.
Even that article is hard to find, anywhere.
I’ve not heard of anyone else voicing concern. Nobody.
More specifically, why aren't House majority, so-called “MAGA Republicans” screaming the following MAJOR constitutional problem with this treaty?
The Supreme Court had clarified in Reid v. Covert that federal government power to make treaties cannot be used to bypass constitutional Article V amendment process to force US citizens to comply with foreign laws, the medical edicts of WHO in this example.
"The obvious and decisive answer to this, of course, is that no agreement with a foreign nation can confer power on the Congress, or on any other branch of Government, which is free from the restraints of the Constitution." —Reid v. Covert, 1957.
So since the states have never expressly constitutionally given the post-17th Amendment ratification, unconstitutionally big federal government the specific power to dictate, regulate, tax and spend in the name of peacetime INTRAstate healthcare, not even to try to stop the spread of contagious diseases, corrupt Congress cannot use a treaty to force US citizens to comply with WHO edicts. (The misguided Roberts Court got Obamacare wrong imo.)
The following excerpts are from the writings of constitutional experts who had clarified that the federal government has no express constitutional authority to dictate intrastate healthcare policy.
"10th Amendment: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
"Many are the exercises of power reserved to the States wherein a uniformity of proceeding would be advantageous to all. Such are quarantines, health laws [emphasis added], regulations of the press, banking institutions, training militia, etc., etc." —Thomas Jefferson to James Sullivan, 1807.
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
"They form a portion of that immense mass of legislation, which embrace every thing in the territory of a state not surrendered to the general government. Inspection laws, quarantine laws, and health laws [emphasis added], as well as laws for regulating the internal commerce of a state, and others, which respect roads, fences, &c. are component parts of state legislation, resulting from the residuary powers of state sovereignty. No direct power over these is given to congress, and consequently they remain subject to state legislation, though they may be controlled by congress, when they interfere with their acknowledged powers." —Justice Joseph Story, Article I, Section 10, Clause 2, 1833.
“Inspection laws, quarantine laws, health laws of every description [emphasis added], as well as laws for regulating the internal commerce of a state and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c., are component parts of this mass.” —Justice Barbour, New York v. Miln., 1837.
"From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." —United States v. Butler, 1936.
Below are excerpts from Supreme Court case opinions and congressional record that don't mention quarantine, but support the constitutional reality that healthcare issues, politically correct (imo) mandating of masks argued to slow spread of contagious diseases for example, is a state power issue, not the business of the feds.
”State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress [emphases added]” —Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
From the congressional record, clarification by Rep. John Bingham, the main author of Section 1 of the 14th Amendment:
”Simply this, that the care of the property, the liberty, and the life of the citizen, under the solemn sanction of an oath imposed by your Constitution, is in the States and not in the federal government [emphases added]. I have sought to effect no change in that respect in the Constitution of the country.” —John Bingham, Congressional. Globe. 1866, page 1292 (see top half of third column)
“Direct control of medical practice in the states is obviously beyond the power of Congress [emphases added].” –Linder v. United States, 1925.
Patriots, the bottom line is this imo. What is your threshold of “pain” for peacefully stopping unconstitutionally big state and federal governments controlled by bully, constitutionally undefined political parties, from oppressing the people under their boots?
The inevitable remedy for ongoing, post-17A ratification, corrupt political party treason (imo)...
All MAGA patriots need to wake up their RINO federal and state lawmakers by making the following clear to them.
If they don’t publicly support either a resolution, or a Constitutional Convention, to effectively "secede" ALL the states from the unconstitutionally big federal government by amending the Constitution to repeal the 16th (direct taxes) and 17th (popular voting for federal senators) Amendments (16&17A), doing so before the primary elections in 2024, that YOU will primary them.
If the proposed amendment was limited strictly to repealing 16&17A, relatively little or ideally no discussion would be needed before ratification of the amendment imo.
With 16&17A out of the way, my hope is that Trump 47 becomes the FIRST president of a truly constitutionally limited power federal government.
In the meanwhile, I'm not holding my breath for significant MAGA legislation to appear in the first 100 days of new term for what may still prove to be another RINO-controlled House.
Trump will hopefully do another round of primarying RINOs for 2024 elections.
Cameltoe The Ho: " Just sign it, Joe.".
it is never clear how this money will turn the tide - but it is a 'must' in order to save the Republic.
