Biden Administration Trying to Implement Its Own ‘Pandemic Treaty’
Team Biden is is using the monkeypox outbreak in the Congo as the rationale for the “Global Health Security Strategy”.
I have been covering the recent attempts by the media and Big Government entities to gin up fear and angst over the bird flu and monkeypox.
In a previous post, I noted that the World Health Organization’s attempts to persuade countries to agree to the terms of a pandemic treaty have been floundering. Essentially, it is because no sane nation wants to hand over control of its population to activist bureaucrats who use pseudoscience to implement liberty-crushing, economy-destroying, nonsense policies.
In fact, it appears the Republican party was gearing up to make this treaty an issue in the upcoming election.
“The COVID-19 pandemic showed us that the WHO is not the preeminent global health institution that perhaps it once was,” said Rep. Brad Wenstrup, R-Ohio, who chairs the House Oversight and Accountability Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic. “Politics should never have a place in science.”
…[A] growing coalition of Republicans on Capitol Hill, as well as supporters of former President Donald Trump, have been rallying against the treaty. During a news conference Monday on Capitol Hill, Reps. Christopher H. Smith, R-N.J., and Wenstrup argued the treaty is too political and relies too heavily on financial support from U.S. taxpayers.
Tony Perkins, president of the conservative Family Research Council, called the draft “a global power grab” that forces progressive social policies on countries.
However, the allure of control to the power-mongering members of the Biden administration is like catnip to a cat. So, it’s coming up with its version of a “pandemic treaty“.
…Biden’s administration will help 50 countries identify and respond to infectious diseases, with the goal of preventing pandemics like the COVID-19 outbreak that suddenly halted normal life around the globe in 2020.
U.S. government officials will offer support in the countries, most of them located in Africa and Asia, to develop better testing, surveillance, communication and preparedness for such outbreaks in those countries.
The strategy will help “prevent, detect and effectively respond to biological threats wherever they emerge,” Biden said in a statement Tuesday.
The agreement is being referred to as the “Global Health Strategy.” As I projected, it is being created because the WHO failed to launch its treaty.
Interestingly, the administration is using the monkeypox outbreak in the Congo as the rationale for the “strategy.”
The announcement about the strategy comes as countries have struggled to meet a worldwide accord on responses to future pandemics. Four years after the coronavirus pandemic, the prospects of a pandemic treaty signed by all 194 of the World Health Organization’s members are flailing.
The U.S. program will rely on several government agencies — including the U.S. State Department, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Health and Human Services and the U.S. Agency for International Development, or USAID — to help countries refine their infectious disease response.
Congo is one country where work has already begun. The U.S. government is helping Congo with its response to an mpox virus outbreak, including with immunizations. Mpox, a virus that’s in the same family as the one that causes smallpox, creates painful skin lesions.
Last year, the World Health Organization declared mpox a global emergency, with more than 91,000 cases spanning across 100 countries to date.
A review of the comments on social media indicates Americans are as unhappy with this strategy plan as they were with the WHO treaty.
Another step in taking our individual rights and liberties.

The Global Health Security Strategy concerns many Americans because of the COVID experience. One activist, agenda-driven bureaucrat (Dr. Deborah Birx) silenced all debate on the COVID response, silenced reasonable and qualified critics, and undermined the president’s authority.
“I made it very clear to the Vice President, and I said, “You know I’m saying exactly the opposite of what the president is saying, and what Scott Atlas is saying. And the Vice President said, “You do what you need to do.
I just want you to grasp this: The White House with the White House emblem on it is send this report to governors every week. And it says completely the opposite of what the President is saying. Despite the fact Scott Atlas would say, “The President’s policy is…I’m like, “Have the President tell me”.
I went tp the communications leads and I said, “You can’t put Scott Atlas out”. I can’t stop him from talking to the President. But I can stop him being on national news. They said, “OK”.
If this plan is allowed to proceed, we will all be less secure and less healthy, which seems quite consistent with Biden’s “strategy”—such as it is. After all, we are experiencing epic inflation after implementing his “Inflation Reduction Act.”

There they go, trying to do what they can to steal the election. If it isn’t this disease it’ll be another one
The only global strategy we need is to isolate politicians from their office and the media in the case of a new [pandemic].
I recall reading somewhere that the executive does not have the power to enter into treaties. I think it was some old moldy parchment document. Does it even matter any more?
What worries me is prior to 2016, no president’s Executive authority could bind the Executive authority of a future president. IOW, what was created with the stroke of a pen could simply be undone with the stroke of a pen. Then, Trump tried to undo DACA, an abomination Obama created with an Executive Order. The Court told him no. THAT is worrying. Only the Senate can ratify treaties so the only thing Biden can do is via Executive Order. If the Court tells Trump he can’t undo Biden’s Executive Order, is there any need to go to the Senate to get something ratified? The slope we’re on gets even slipperier…and steeper.
Just a small point of order…DACA was not an EO, it was a Cabinet Level Memo signed by Janet Napolitano Secretary of Homeland Security in 2012.
DACA never went through the administrative law process and was enacted through the stroke of Janet Napolitano’s pen. As you state future Administrations are bound by previous administrations even though the authority didn’t exist.
Side note: Haven’t commented on LI in years. Surprised my PW still worked.
Welcome back!
Actually, because the USA signed the international accords on Treaties back in the 1940’s, under international law international agreements become legal once the Administration signs on. They continue to be legal until some future Administration repudiates it.
Things like the Kyoto and Paris Climate Accords were never voted on by the Senate, but they became legal under international law. Not necessarily US law. The US remained a part of those accords until President Donald Trump repudiated them.
So not a Treaty then.
Maybe you’re misremembering our discussion of the Bricker Amendment. Not only does the executive have the power to enter into treaties — which must eventually be consented to by the Senate or they are moot — he has the power to enter into international non-treaty “agreements” and “pacts” that DO NOT need the consent of the Senate. And none other than “hidebound conservative” Dwight Eisenhower worked his ass off to make sure that the latter privilege was never subject to the approval of the people’s representatives.
Someday, the Dems constant attempts to gain power regardless of the consequences will be universally seen as the most destructive force to hit the world since the Big Meteor. The people who really care about logical responses to disease outbreaks and treatment have been trampled underfoot by the Grab Power By Whatever Handle You See fanatics. (and it adds weight to the ‘mercury in vaccines cause autism’ and ‘chemtrails’ people)
But will the majority of the population realize this before so much damage has been done that anything resembling the freedom and influence American once held compared to the rest of the world is unrecoverable?
There is still too much opportunity to make big money from scaring the right crowd and attaining power via that same ignorant fear.
Monkeypox
Really?
I’m going to Africa next year and part of the trip involves seeing wild chimpanzees and mountain gorillas
I imagine these a$$holes will try to ruin everything, destroy the world, just be okay king of the Hill
They saw a single man, Fauci, control the nation like a mad tyrant for 2 years and the SCOTUS threw away the Constitution for the common cold as if they themselves were hysterical ….and realize the deep state can do this forever.
There are hundreds of thousands of people running around by themselves in filthy masks.
Masks are like pink hair. They are telling me that they are nuts and that I should keep my distance from them.
Like a cobra’s display. Watch out for the masked.
Renaming a hyperlink to say epic inflation when the article says no such thing. Good times
The article says “hot inflation.”
I’m clearly referencing the hyperlink title and the article talks about the economy being a ‘slightly over heated ‘not that there is hot inflation
You’re clearly FOS, dingus.
You really should take a remedial English comprehension class.
So are you arguing we are not experiencing the cumulative impact of several years of massive currency debasement aka loose monetary/fiscal policies in the form of dramatically higher prices or is your quibble just semantics over the adjective of ‘epic’ v ‘hot’.
Lol, most of the inflationary pressures have been from global supply chain issues and covid. The inflationary pressure from the various spending bills has been negligible. And no my quibble is that the citation is labelled as an emotive reference when the actual article states no such thing.
I see you are still.sniffing the MMT pixie dust. Inflation comes from debasement of the currency whether ‘clipped’ coins or creating currency out of thin air as we did in the USA over the past two and half decades going from $5.6 Trillion Fed Debt to just over $35 Trillion today…and growing by $1 Trillion nearly every 90 days.
The effects or symptoms of inflation are reflected in rising prices as the market recalibrates prices to account for reduction in currency value…that and asset bubbles such as housing market in ’07 and in Commercial Real Estate today among other way over valued assets.
It’s pretty hilarious reading the crap you write. The fed debt went up mostly becuase of Trumps tax cuts and covid. You can pretend all you want that msm is creating a narrative that goes against your position but its reality and therefore all the good quality sources support my position, it’s just fact. Let me know of you can find an economics source that actually supports your position,I highly doubt it.
The problem you have commochief is that for all the issues msm has, it’s a better source than the moronic right wing talking heads you’ve turned too.
So b/c the elite/establishment went Fauci Fascist and shut down the economy (unnecessarily it turns out as many of said at the time) and both Trump and Biden shot out $7+ Trillion that’s how we got from $5.6 Billion in debt to $35+ Trillion?
That seems a little sparse on details and ignores the rest of the foolish Fed Govt spending from ’99 till ’20 and Covid. All of it egged on by leftists with an assist from neocons for DoD funding.
The price of gold tells us much about the worth of our currency. Foreign Govt buyers of US Treasury debt have begun cutting back investment into Treasury instruments and are shifting those funds into Gold. As does the public interest in Bitcoin, other crypto and massive sales of physical gold at boring places like Costco. The BS numbers the labor dept is putting out with today’s number good becoming tomorrow’s way off revision has become plain to average folks. Trust is low and that’s what makes a fiat currency work.
We have an asset bubble. Commercial real estate is the tip of the iceberg. When banks are forever to mark to market the underwater valuation of the loans … look out below. Heck a normal market pullback to historical PRA ratios would be something on the order of 1500 + points for the SP 500. A 30% pullback isn’t unusual.
We seem to have made a decision to keep expanding govt and the welfare state. This will work until it doesn’t. When the Govt can’t borrow or not at interest rates that don’t crowd out other programs the party ends. Fair warning don’t say you weren’t told or didn’t know.
” The inflationary pressure from the various spending bills has been negligible.”
This is laughably risible, Moron.
Picking sh*t with the chickens again, FartE?
He’s gotta pick it first if he’s gonna eat it.
Ah yes, straight to the ad hominem. Really showing me what’s what 🤦♂️
Substance free responses seem to be the norm for you. Are you actually capable of forming a sentence in response are are you projecting that youre the chicken in your post. Seems like it given how inept you are
There’s no “substance” in any of your factually-lacking, functionally illiterate posts to bash, bunghole.
Every single one of your posts is devoid of anything to discuss.
Let me pose an exit question to you, Goober…. is it an ad hominem attack if every insult is accurate?
Go back to Londonistan, cretin.
When it mattered, Trump forgot how to say “you’re fired”.
Not trying to defend Trump’s lack of decisiveness, but there is an argument to suggest he moved tentatively due to it being an election year. If he manages to get elected this November and inaugurated in January, he is term limited. No reason to hold back on making significant changes, even if not fully supported by the electorate.
Or because we didn’t know it was a fauci/birx/wef/fbi/cia-induced “pandemic.”
The MSM, Admin and DNC, as well as Government agencies, are getting their story together….here it comes…..
It seems to me that those wanting to see 4 more years of this inept, destructive administration are at this point casting about for an incident that will replicate 2020’s election. We saw in 2020 that the most effective way to neuter the opposition is to instill sufficient fear into the populace so that the majority are unable to think rationally. Fear of one virus did the trick. Now fear of another virus can do the same. Expect to hear much more about monkeypox (or perhaps some other disease not yet documented) in the months ahead. If enough people hear enough, it’s likely that one of the all-time worst US presidents can be “re-elected”.
Like I’m going to be terrified of a non-threatening pox that you can only get from cruising bathhouses. Or pinkeye from a cow that eats mor chiken. Try harder, Michael Crichton.
Once upon a time when the government was indeed concerned about the public health, there was a place called Ellis Island where foreigners seeking to live in the United States must first pass through to make sure they were not carrying communicable diseases. It was the largest medical screening facility in the world.
So what happens? As usual things are flipped on their heads and now invaders are not only welcomed and given priority over legal immigrants, but are given money as well. As for diseases? Well, to make up for that, the American citizen is locked down. For our safety, of course.
It’s the inevitable consequence of our other national delusion that requires the destruction of its honest citizens rights to self-defense because the government treats our streets as “extension prisons” instead of keeping the truly dangerous locked up, and therefore can officially “never be sure” that someone on the street has a right to all his rights.
This is the latest of treaties that the US president has either engaged in or is about to. Both Obama and Biden seem to be enamored with dictatorial powers unconstrained by constitutional Senate confirmation. Should Trump become president he would be well advised to send these “agreements” for a vote in the Senate. That would simultaneously confound the Hillary Clintons of the world who predict that Trump would be a dictator by showing democracy in action, and predictably in the debate the nation would see that these “agreements” are not in our best interest with the Senate declining to ratify these “agreements”. It would be put up or shut up time.
The whole of the Democrat party is enamored with dictatorial powers unconstrained by the constitution.
So what you’re saying is, a wise executive never asks a question of the Senate that he doesn’t already know the answer to.
The WHO was one of the worst resources during COVID 19. Why would we tie ourselves to closer to them. Because we are led by moron globalists that think the UN has been a positive in the world.
It’s the way liberals think.
If everybody agrees to do thing A, then it cannot be wrong… and if it does turn out to be wrong, nobody is to blame.
I can never think of this trope without remembering the lame ending of “Bitten,” a B-grade Canadian series about a family of werewolves. Faced with a problem having no solution, the sole woman involved (who else?) decides to punt the decision to the provincial government, which necessarily involves disclosing their existence to the world. Not only does this result in her family’s destruction, the provincial elders — necessarily knowing LESS about the problem and its implications than the families that had been living with it for centuries — make an even more ridiculous decision than any of them would have, with truly Bidenesque consequences.
The average Canadian viewer probably reacted with, “Oh, what a sad ending to this tragedy,” while the based US viewer reacts with, “What a clusterf*! Who in their right mind would INVITE this sort of arrogant, ignorant, lethal interference into their lives?”
And that’s the thought behind appeals to the WHO.
(So unintentionally appropriate that it was the liberal white chick.)
