RBN Host, STOP THE PRESSES!

Like never before, this is a time to make your views known on the world pandemic treaty and International Health Regulations. This article provides the latest contact information and key developments to aid in that process. Information on contacting national leaders such as Senators and Members of Parliament is first and does not involve deadlines. But that information is closely followed here by U.S.-based announcements on how to contact certain treaty negotiators directly, which involves imminent deadlines.

SOME IN CONGRESS BALK

Notably, U.S. Congressional Republicans Brad Wenstrup of Ohio and Christopher Smith of New Jersey have recently expressed strong skepticism about the World Health Organization’s pending pandemic treaty, arguing, for example, that U.S. taxpayers would get hit by a highly disproportionate share of the treaty’s costs if the nebulous pact is adopted into law.

It’s encouraging to treaty opponents to see discussion among some public officials of the treaty when, much of the time, little is said about it in in the halls of government.  Meanwhile, a massive Japanese protest against the treaty took place, amid an apparent mainline “legacy” media blackout.

A downside of America’s legislative situation, however, is that U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson, a Wisconsin Republican, initially made a lot of noise a little over a year ago about his bill, S 444, that would make sure the WHO accord is treated like the treaty that it is, subjecting it to the Constitutionally required supermajority of two-thirds of all Senators “present” to decide whether to consent to the treaty.

The long-dormant bill has not been approved by either legislative chamber and is marooned in committee. Another problem, which is largely unknown, is that today’s Senate procedures also provide for the U.S. to adopt treaties purely through a presidential-executive action, an extremely unconstitutional option that would negate the Senate’s long-recognized supreme treaty approval role.

Therefore:

U.S. citizens should immediately call their Senators to call attention to this issue. The same urgency to contact legislators (parliament or assembly members etc.) of course applies to concerned citizens in any nation.

U.S., UK and EUROPEAN CONTACTS

In the U.S., any Senator can be contacted via the Capitol Switchboard at 202-224-3121; any House member, 202-225-3121. Just ask for the legislator by name to be transferred to the right place. The official websites of both House and Senate members display their email addresses. But calls are generally more effective. Both is best.

Here’s more key contact information for the UK and greater Europe:

At the website www.parliament.uk, see the main page near the top and click on “MPs and Lords”; from there, click on “Find MPs” (and a tad further down, click “Find Lords.”) You’ll see an alphabetical list of all MPs and all Lords, along with all their contact information. For the Lords, look closely and click “contact information” along a horizontal scroll containing various choices.

In the European Parliament, the key background and contact information on all 705 MEPs can be found at this link: https://www.europarl.europa.eu/meps/en/full-list

The EU Parliament has liaison offices in all its member states. The UK one is in London at 32 Smith Square; visit there with your treaty concerns or call +44 (0) 202 7227 4300. The email is eplondon@europarl.europa.eu

The EU Parliament liaison office in Dublin, Ireland is at 12-14 Lower Mount Street; call +353 (0)1 605 79 00. Email: epdublin@europarl.europa.eu

For a complete list of EU Parliament offices, go to https://liaison-offices.europarl.europa.eu/en/offices

There’s even a liaison office in Washington D.C. at 2175 K Street NW, Suite 600. Phone: 202-862-4734; email: epwashington@europarl.europa.eu

GET INVOLVED: EMAIL THE DHHS NOW

Anyone—anywhere in the world—can contact the Office of Global Affairs of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services by the 26th of April to RSVP for a 2nd of May public “listening session” offered by the OGA-DHHS as a means of gathering public input on the pandemic treaty and the associated International Health Regulations (IHR).

The OGA of the DHHS posted the following official information in the U.S. Federal Register, which gives other important details:

Notice of public listening session; request for comments.

The listening session will be held Thursday, May 2, 2024, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. eastern daylight time. This session is open to the public but requires RSVP to oga.rsvp1@hhs.gov by Friday, April 26, 2024. See RSVP section in SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION for details.

The session will be held virtually. Online and dial-in information will be shared with registered participants.

Purpose: The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) leads the U.S. delegation to the 77th World Health Assembly and will convene an informal Stakeholder Listening Session.

The Stakeholder Listening Session is designed to seek input from stakeholders and subject matter experts to help the HHS Office of Global Affairs inform and prepare for U.S. Government engagement at the World Health Assembly.

The World Health Assembly is the decision-making body of the World Health Organization (WHO). It is attended by delegations from all 194 WHO Member States. The main functions of the World Health Assembly are to determine the policies of the Organization, appoint the Director-General, supervise financial policies, and review and approve the proposed program budget. The Health Assembly is held annually in Geneva, Switzerland. Additional information about the World Health Assembly can be found at this website: https://\www.who.int/about/governance/world-health-assembly.

Matters to be Discussed: The listening session will cover items on the provisional agenda of the 77th World Health Assembly. The provisional agenda can be found at this website: https://apps.who.int/gb/ebwha/pdf_files/EB154/B154_39-en.pdf.

ULTRA-URGENT TIME TO ACT

Noted WHO watchdog James Roguski, who has obtained copies of the latest-available versions of the pandemic treaty and the IHR, and has steadily posted key information on DHHS public comment sessions on his blog, www.JamesRoguski.Substack.com, also has posted the overall schedule of the treaty and IHR talks, along with a lengthy list of the email addresses of various DHHS officials and others who concerned citizens should contact immediately.

Here’s an important link from Roguski that not only contains that long email address list of DHHS personnel, but also contains videos and sample comments which you can learn from, in order to make your views known in an accurate context. (When you open this link, you have to scroll down a ways to get to that email list) Again, that link is: Public Comments Now Being Accepted

The remaining talks take place as follows:

• April 22-26, 2024: The last meeting of the Working Group for Amendments to the International Health Regulations.

• April 29 to May 10, 2024: The last meeting of the Intergovernmental Negotiating Body to negotiate the pandemic treaty.

• May 27 to June 1, 2024: The 77th World Health Assembly in Geneva.

Additionally:

• Here’s a link to a recent, easier-to-follow copy of the IHR: file:///Users/mark/Downloads/Libby_Klein’s_Version.pdf

• Also, here’s a link to read the latest-obtainable draft of the treaty: file:///Users/mark/Downloads/Proposal_For_The_Who_Pandemic_Agreement.pdf

This is a uniquely vital time to raise much more public awareness about a treaty and set of regulations that will create great societal pressure to conform to monopolistic WHO-big pharma health edicts even if the treaty does not directly or explicitly impinge upon national sovereignty and upon individual medical autonomy (EDITOR’S NOTE: We must remember, however, that the WHO is an outgrowth of the supranational UN, and claims of non-interference by the UN and its agencies on nationhood, no matter how sincere those assurances have appeared in the past, have proven to be largely hollow, e.g., the UN-managed Korean War facilitated the dissolution of the constitutional duty of the U.S. Congress to formally declare war; the last such formal declaration of war was in 1941. Moreover, the protocols of the UN’s International Organization for Migration, or IOM, have been instrumental in enabling the current flood of migration that is subsuming the U.S. southern border—and a nation without borders isn’t a nation at all). 

Clearly, the treaty, if approved, will give the local, state and national “covid” tyrants from 2020 the legal rationale and “backstop” they need to be even more oppressive when the next pandemic—which the WHO assures us is a matter of when, not if—comes along.

Most importantly at this juncture, as Roguski has written, there’s a huge profiteering scheme, via big pharma, the WHO, etc., that would be cemented together by the approval of the pandemic treaty, thereby creating what Roguski has characterized as a massive pharmaceutical monopoly on par with the well-known OPEC cartel in the energy realm.
