SOS: Stop the World Health Organization’s Tyrannical May 27 Power Grab

The power grab will make the Covid response look like a walk in the park.

From Robert Williams at gatestoneinstitute.org:

The proposed amendments to the International Health Regulations give the WHO Director General the authority to declare not just an actual but a potential international public health emergency and set out binding recommendations on how to address it, whether individual states agree with him or not.

Worse, no criticism of the new WHO regime and its decisions to declare potential or actual pandemics, lockdowns and treatment, including vaccines, will be allowed under the amended IHR… In other words, the government lies, obfuscations and cover-ups that so dominated the last pandemic will become normalized, and all criticism outlawed.

Already, Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus (not a medical doctor) has castigated critics of the planned amendments and new Pandemic Treaty as conspiracy theorists who spread “fake news, lies and conspiracy theories.”

Since the UN claims that to “owns the science,” it is now brainwashing the public into believing that “climate change” threatens global health. This view makes it likely that you will one day find yourself in a WHO-mandated lockdown to mitigate the effects of the “climate crisis,” along with limits on where you go, how you may get there, what you do, and what you can own.

The US is already seeing forerunners of this in the Biden administration’s unconstitutional executive orders, possibly including his attempts to ban internal combustion engine vehicles and gas stoves; mandating dishwashing machines that may need repeated cycles to clean dishes, and new stricter regulations on air conditioners, washing machines, refrigerators, and even leaf-blowers — and this is only the beginning.

The WHO is not elected, has no democratic legitimacy, is not accountable to anyone and has no control mechanisms to restrain its reach. After the horrifying failures of the WHO during Covid-19, the answer is not to give the organization more power, but to disengage from it entirely.

more local council subsuming of Foreign Affairs

comment by Daivd Farrar

The W’anganui District Council released:

Whanganui District Council’s elected representatives have called for an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza and condemned all acts of violence and terror against civilians on all sides.

I’m sure Hamas will agree immediately now that the mighty Whanganui Council has demanded a ceasefire.

David Farrar runs Curia Market Research, a specialist opinion polling and research agency, and the popular Kiwiblog where this article was sourced. He previously worked in the Parliament for eight years, serving two National Party Prime Ministers and three Opposition Leaders.

The issue here is to what extent is it within local councils’ bailiwick to make declarations like this at all. Foreign conflicts usually have a long backstory and to make simplistic declarations without a full appreciation of them — inevitably these days gained only from partisan Legacy media sources — is both inappropriate for councils and unhelpful. —Eds

internal fridge stickers to help reduce food waste

(message from the Council)

Help break the mould!

Food waste is bad for the planet and bad for your pocket. Food in landfill creates methane, a potent greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change. But check out these expensive food waste facts – every year Kiwis throw out:

• more than $543 million worth of fruit, vegetables and meat
• $62 million worth of bread
• $290 million worth of fruit and vegetables
• $191 million worth of meat!

To help you keep an eye on your ‘grosseries’, our friends at Love Food Hate Waste have produced recyclable stickers to remind you which leftovers in your fridge need eating first. Pick some up from one of our libraries or service centres and say goodbye to ugly surprises at the back of your fridge!

Tucker Carson interview on the subject of Working for Jeff Bezos of Amazon

An account from someone who sells for him. Everyone knows how Biden & Co. have leaned on Amazon to be pro-Democrat National Committee, but their business practices aren’t nice either.
