If Biden Were Trying To Destroy America On Purpose, He’d Do Nothing Differently BY: JOY PULLMANN MAY 18, 2022
Every piece of evidence indicates that every choice Biden’s team makes will not unravel global calamities but instead increase them. And Republican leadership appears to be fine with this.
Many have watched Joe Biden’s feckless performance over the past 18 months and concluded he’s grossly incompetent, and so is the party that decided to put him in the White House. Yet the incompetence rises to such a level that it prompts a question: If Biden were in fact actively attempting to destroy the United States, would he be governing much differently?
Just consider the last two years of the devastating worldwide lockdowns Communist China unleashed, first with a novel virus and then in its totalitarian response that the rest of the world echoed. Could it be mere incompetence, or does it rise to the level of actual malice, to double down on transferring the United States’s soft and hard power to China following that obvious of an episode?
Compound the devastating, China-enabling lockdown response Democrats demanded with U.S. officials fomenting war in Eastern Europe by foolishly suggesting Ukraine join the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. The resulting war is not only undermining potential U.S. responses to its top adversary, China, but also needlessly punishing Americans with higher energy and food prices.
Further compound that foolish rush to expand rather than end a war that lacks significant U.S. strategic interests with the deliberate destruction of U.S. energy independence and prosperity. While telling Americans that he’s not at all choking U.S. energy production, Biden is in fact choking U.S. energy production. He blames these malevolent decisions on Vladimir Putin, while actually enabling Putin’s power by taking away American energy as an alternative to Russian energy on world markets.
This also enables the rise of China, which is in no way handicapping its energy supplies nor its domestic manufacturing. A United States dependent on foreign dictators for key goods is a weak United States, as we have seen. Looking at all this, one would have to believe our ruling class is either a lot stupider than their voters or they’re so evil they’re willing to sell out their own country to regimes that operate concentration camps and want to control the globe.
Add in the evidence that Biden’s son compromised his father’s foreign policy by accepting Chinese bribes and sinecures, and the Biden administration’s subjugation of American interests to China’s anti-American designs makes more, but far more alarming, sense.
Also without any White House response except submission, China is shipping human-destroying drug materials to Mexican cartels they then feed into U.S. cities along with a destabilizing influx of unknown border crossers. Instead of responding in kind to this act of foreign aggression against the United States, the Biden administration assists in foreign interests’ destruction of our country by abandoning our borders to violent cartels that enrich themselves with human suffering.
Everything the Biden White House does seems designed to make everything in the nation worse, not better. Just look over at Biden’s economic policy, which consists of sitting astride a dangerously inflationary economy and insisting that what we need is hundreds of billions more in deficit spending. This dynamic includes policies not in the news, such as the reality that a weak Biden economy is increasingly twisting the Obamacare ratchet, forcing more and more middle-class people onto the crappy single-payer health “insurance” program that is Medicaid because they can’t afford government-inflated premiums.
When insurance is forced to pay for elective care such as expensive transgender surgeries and cannot build health choices and risks into its payment structure, and hospitals are not required to post their prices, keeping up with the resulting skyrocketing premiums and astronomically inflated costs for care becomes more and more impossible. The result is that more and more Americans can barely keep up with their basic bills, and fewer families can manage to keep a parent home with the kids to nurture them into capable and self-supporting future citizens.
One is tempted to wonder: After three more years of this kind of deliberate destruction of American strength, will there be an America left? Maybe “transforming America” is the goal, but it’s a foolhardy one. One can’t expect that destroying our nation’s stability and prosperity will lead to Americans clamoring for “democratic socialism” or a “great reset.” It is, however, likely to cause consequences Democrats — and Republicans who collude with them to keep enriching themselves while impoverishing the nation — will regret.
It’s unclear that even many Republican elected officials understand what’s going on here. They’re telegraphing business as usual — the same business as usual that created the conditions scaring Americans today.
While Democrats appear to be actively working to destroy the nation, Republicans are failing to protect the Supreme Court from insurrection and political violence, sending billions in deficit funding to foreign wars, and making no promises about eviscerating the administrative state or inflationary federal spending. They’re almost making no policy pledges or advances at all.
It’s been 12 years since Obamacare and Republicans still have no realistic plan for making health care affordable for families. It’s been seven years since Spygate began and Republicans have issued no plan for strategically investigating and prosecuting this use of American intelligence agencies to prevent an elected president from discharging his duties of office.
The president of the United States is using federal agencies to harass his political opponents as “domestic terrorists” and ban their speech, and what is Republicans’ response? Some angry huffing and puffing on Twitter and TV! Unlike China’s ruling class, ours is completely unserious. Americans have reason to suspect there are no adults in the smoke-filled rooms of Washington DC, only cowards, hirelings, and traitors.
The last time we were in a similar situation, guess what we got? President Donald Trump. Do Republicans in Congress want Trump back? Do they want more J.D. Vances and Josh Hawleys winning Senate seats? Because they sure as heck are acting like they do. Chaos breeds desperation, and desperate people do surprising things.
Dr. Peter Breggin: Biden ceding U.S. sovereignty to China WHO preparing to vote on amendments to make its chief 'health dictator' Art Moore By Art Moore Published May 17, 2022 at 8:58pm
The famed reformer in the field of psychiatry who is spotlighting the Biden administration's "stealth" move to give the World Health Organization's chief unilateral power to declare health emergencies in the United States contends the U.S. effectively is ceding its sovereignty to the Communist Party government in Beijing.
In an in-depth 70-minute video interview with WND (embedded below), Dr. Peter Breggin discusses the startling implications for the future of the American experiment in the Biden administration's International Health Regulations amendments. The proposed regulations will be subject to votes at the upcoming annual meeting of the WHO's governing legislative body, the World Health Assembly, May 22-28 in Geneva, Switzerland.
The current WHO director-general, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Breggin explained, already has demonstrated what it would look like if he were given more power, having collaborated with Beijing in covering up the origin of the COVID-19 pandemic and agreeing with the regime during the early stages that the virus wasn't dangerous.
"The U.S. is the one power that stands in the way of globalism," Breggin said.
TRENDING: The left's fuss over conservatives who buck the Ukraine narrative Many Americans, he said, hold to a Judeo-Christian tradition that believes "God doesn't intend for us to be run by the communist Chinese or Bill Gates or any of these Western or Eastern predators."
A graduate of Harvard and Case Western Reserve Medical School, Breggin, 86, is known as the "conscience of psychiatry" for the many reforms he has brought to the field, including stopping the use of lobotomies and electroconvulsive therapy along with harmful drug therapies. His latest book is "COVID-19 and the Global Predators: We are the Prey," which unpacks the web of organizations and people profiting from the pandemic.
Breggin said the response from Congress to the recent revelation of the Biden administration's WHO amendments has been slow. But he and his team are beginning to reach out directly, noting he was on the phone earlier Tuesday with congressional staff.
"It looks like this could be a firestorm," he said.
Breggin also is in conversations with state attorneys general.
"I'm hoping attorneys general will see the threat to their own states' rights," he said, "because Biden isn't going to see a threat to anybody's rights.
He urges concerned citizens to find out more on his website and to contact their representatives, emphasizing that phone calls tend to be the most effective means of communication.
WHO's long-term goal, he warned, is to establish treaties between nations would be binding under international law. That prospect, he affirmed, underscores the importance of electing members of Congress this fall who understand WHO's objectives and the implications for American sovereignty.
Among many other related topics, Breggin discusses with WND the current significance of an organization Bill Gates set up with Klaus Schwab to manage global vaccination campaigns.
'That was just a warmup' Breggin said his experience as a reformer in psychiatry – working with the establishment and facing scorching criticism from the scientific community and from drug companies – prepared him for this moment.
He recalled his wife, Ginger, who has partnered with him in his reform work for decades, saying as the pandemic developed: "You know, honey, I thought that God put me here to help you be the conscience of psychiatry. I think that was just a warmup. He wants us to join the freedom fight for America."
Then came endorsements from "these wonderful docs," such as leading pandemic-response critic Dr. Peter McCullough, Breggin said, "and we had a whole new world."
"This has been such an experience for us," he reflected. "We went from fear, and terror, and other various emotions, to thanking God, at our age ... for a second life.
"We've met incredible people all over the world," he said.
Most are "conservative Christians," Breggin said, noting he comes from a "progressive Jewish" background.
Breggin said a "refounding of America" is the "only hope for the earth."
Dear Leader Biden’s Ministry of Truth “Paused” Which Means It’s Dead in Government Doublespeak By J.D. Rucker • May. 18, 2022 The Disinformation Governance Board was able to last longer than Anthony Scaramucci’s career as White House Press Secretary, but not by much. According to the Washington Post, it has been “paused” but Congressman Matt Gaetz knows what that really means.
A pause is a death sentence for something like this, typically.
— Matt Gaetz (@mattgaetz) May 18, 2022
According to WaPo:
Now, just three weeks after its announcement, the Disinformation Governance Board is being “paused,” according to multiple employees at DHS, capping a back-and-forth week of decisions that changed during the course of reporting of this story. On Monday, DHS decided to shut down the board, according to multiple people with knowledge of the situation. By Tuesday morning, Jankowicz had drafted a resignation letter in response to the board’s dissolution.
But Tuesday night, Jankowicz was pulled into an urgent call with DHS officials who gave her the choice to stay on, even as the department’s work was put on hold because of the backlash it faced, according to multiple people with knowledge of the call. Working groups within DHS focused on mis-, dis- and mal-information have been suspended. The board could still be shut down pending a review from the Homeland Security Advisory Council; Jankowicz is evaluating her position within the department.
“Nina Jankowicz has been subjected to unjustified and vile personal attacks and physical threats,” a DHS spokesperson told The Post in a statement. “In congressional hearings and in media interviews, the Secretary has repeatedly defended her as eminently qualified and underscored the importance of the Department’s disinformation work, and he will continue to do so.”
***Support The Liberty Daily and Mike Lindell -- use code TLD at MyPillow.com and get up to 66% off!*** The Disinformation Governance Board, or the “Ministry of Truth” as it is often called by patriots, was a horrible idea from the start. Things got instantly worse when it was revealed Jankowicz had a long history of spreading disinformation herself, most notably believing in the Russiagate hoax and claiming Hunter Biden’s laptop was Russian disinformation. One would think the Truth Minister would not participate in so many lies, but it’s the Biden-Harris regime so qualifications are often meaningless.
Jack Posobiec, who was cited in the article as one of the reasons for the “pause,” had plenty to say about it on Twitter:

WATCH: Ted Cruz gives a Master Class to reporters on why Biden is to blame for intentionally raising gas prices MAY. 18, 2022 4:21 PM BY THE RIGHT SCOOP
Senator Ted Cruz gave a Master Class to the press today explaining why the blame for our record high gas prices falls almost squarely on Biden and his administration. Despite his efforts to blame Putin, Ted Cruz goes through every step Biden has made since he became president to intentionally raise gas prices. Watch:
Add to this how the Biden administration is slow-walking all of the permits needed for companies to actually drill for oil.
It’s despicable and as Ted Cruz has pointed out, intentional. They want to force everyone into spending tons of money on electric vehicles because they hate oil and gas.
Kudos to Cruz for explaining this to the liberal press, even though it will likely go in one ear and out the other.
He is stating facts! I checked them and he is correct. Why do you stand up for this Chinese Administration? It hurts you and the people you love on a daily basis!
I've told OCD plenty of times when i thought he was posting crap. I've missed it if he's posting random tweets as if it's news.... I did see a string of MSNBC clips on Jan 6th thread and I was going to say something but then I watched one with Ari and it was valid.
Thanks for the reply. Sorry I didn't get back sooner but I just saw this. I'm sorry. I didn't see where you called out OCD.
Jim Jordan Delivers Cold, Hard Truth About Leftist Actions: “It’s About Intimidation” By J.D. Rucker • May. 18, 2022
Conservative Congressman Jim Jordan has always had a way of making points that stick. It’s part of his massive success on Capitol Hill because his speaking skills combine emotion and facts in ways that few in Congress have mastered.
Today’s delivery about the left’s tendency to use intimidation in pretty much everything they do is the latest in a long line of excellent arguments made in committee. Watch:
It’s so true. When Democrats in Washington DC and leftists across the nation do not like an outcome, they don’t make valid arguments. They simply turn to intimidation, threats, cancel culture, and often outright violence.
The left’s arguments defending unrestricted abortion no longer stand in light of both moral and scientific understanding. As Jim Jordan noted, the leaked draft opinion on Roe v Wade is a win across the board.
“I hope the draft opinion is the final opinion because it’s a win for logic. It’s a win for the Constitution. Most importantly, it’s a win for the sanctity of human life. Finally, I hope the attempt to intimidate the court ends now.”
Cry me a river Gym. This insurrectionist's opinion is not valid, period. He will be in jail before the DOJ is done. And the left's stand on choice empowers women, something they hate. So of course they play victim AGAIN.

Two children in Memphis have been hospitalized after needing IV fluids and nutritional support due to the baby formula shortage.
The preschooler and toddler, both from different families, were rushed to Le Bonheur Children's Hospital after their parents failed to secure formula as shelves across America go bare.
Both kids have short-bowel syndrome, which prevents them from absorbing nutrients completely as part of the small intestine is missing, The New York Times reported. Both require an amino-acid-based formula and had been consuming EleCare, among others, which Abbott Laboratories recalled after four children contracted a rare, but serious, bacterial infection.
The children were treated through IV fluids and nutritional support in the hospital after 'not adapting well to the new formula type,' Pediatric Gastroenterologist at Le Bonheur Children's Hospital, Mark Corkins, 60, said in a statement, viewed by The Hill. The parents have declined to talk to the media.
The preschooler was admitted in late April and is still being treated, while the toddler was hospitalized last week and has since left, the Times reported.
'These are young children who have health conditions and special medical needs that [require] specific dietary requirements,' Corkins said in a statement, viewed by the Hill. '[Hospital staff are] making multiple substitutions throughout a child’s care to ensure that their nutritional needs are met.'
He said the process could be 'complicated,' 'cumbersome,' and 'extremely difficult for parents to navigate on their own.'
Desperate parents have been advised not to make their own formula at home, as it won't contain the same nutritional value as store bought, leaving parents with little options but to wait for President Joe Biden's promise that the product would be airlifted to the states. Nestle Switzerland announced earlier this week that they would be airlifting sensitive digestion formulas to the US, as well as Danone, another Swiss company, to combat the growing crisis here. Many states, including Tennessee, are experiencing above a 40 percent shortage after Abbott Laboratories - the largest formula maker in the states - recalled products in February, sending parents spiraling and leaving babies with rashes and illnesses after switching to generic.
However, the precious formula is still being subjected to international tariffs.
Biden and the FDA announced they would streamline the process in hopes of getting the formula into the hands of parents faster, but parents and caregivers are slamming First Lady Dr. Jill Biden, 70, and her husband's administration for empty promises and calling it a 'load of cr*p.'
The First Lady addressed the nation in a new public service announcement on Tuesday, saying: 'Becoming a mom or dad means falling in love deeper than you ever thought possible and in those first few months of sleepless nights, of endless diapers and dirty dishes…and worrying about every little danger, your love can feel like the only thing that keeps you going,' Jill said.
'I want you to know that you're doing an incredible job - even if you don't always feel that way. And I know you are worried about how you are going to feed your baby. The President sees you, he hears you, and his team is working around the clock to get you what you need.'
Many parents slammed the PSA as just 'words' that provided 'zero' help with the ongoing crisis.
'Oh please. There's no formula. Babies are hungry!' one Twitter user wrote.
Another wrote: 'Hey @DrBiden @FLOTUS THEY NEED FORMULA, NOT WORDS. So please take action and get them #formula NOW!!'
House Democrats have since also proposed a $28million emergency bill that would allow the FDA to address the crisis as well as prevent future ones.
Corkins told The New York Times that this is the worst shortage he's seen in his career, and the two children he treated struggled to adjust to the various formulas he recommended. Many other families are experiencing similar results, leaving their children with diarrhea and dehydration.
'They don’t have to digest it, they just absorb it,' Corkins told the Times, regarding the EleCare formula, which is amino-based instead of protein-based.
Despite putting the Tennessee children on IV bags, he worried they would experience elevated levels of potassium and salt in their blood, which could cause complications in the kidneys and heart. It could also stunt growth and brain development if used long term, he told the Times.
'Even if they’re not stooling out and getting dehydrated and having trouble with fluids, I worry if they’re getting enough nutrition [and] that they’re going to grow like they should,' he told The New York Times.
Corkins and his team are tirelessly working to safely alter formulas and keeping a close eye on affected children. He also said many children affected by the shortage have short-bowl syndrome, enzyme defects, or other intestinal disorders.
He recommended that parents reach out to their pediatricians for help and said 'we're going to stumble along until the formula's back.'
However, many parents don't feel as hopeful as Corkins does as they watch their children suffer from formula changes.
Abbott Laboratories announced it would re-open a Michigan plant to help with the shortage, however, the Justice Department announced that in order for the reopening to happen, Abbott must overhaul its safety protocols before production can start - a process that could take several months.
Once Abbott has overhauled its safety protocols and has FDA approval, the formula manufacturer said it could restart the site within two weeks, according to M Live.
If it re-opens, the factory will prioritize EleCare, Alimentum and metabolic formulas and then start making Similac and others.
Once the factory is up and running, parents are expected to start seeing the products six to eight weeks after.
'Our number one priority is getting infants and families the high-quality formulas they need, and this is a major step toward re-opening our Sturgis facility so we can ease the nationwide formula shortage. We look forward to working with the FDA to quickly and safely re-open the facility,' CEO Robert B. Ford said in a statement.
'We know millions of parents and caregivers depend on us and we’re deeply sorry that our voluntary recall worsened the nationwide formula shortage. We will work hard to re-earn the trust that moms, dads and caregivers have placed in our formulas for more than 50 years.'
FDA Commissioner Dr. Robert Califf told the Today Show: 'Every step of the way, we have an obligation to watch [and] make sure that the problems have been rectified and that the formula will be safe.'
The GOP has criticized President Joe Biden's slow response to the formula crisis, which was caused by ongoing supply disruptions and exacerbated by a February recall.
The outrage at the border stock pile also comes as the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention plans next week to end restrictions, known as Title 42, that have prevented migrants from seeking asylum under US law and international treaty on grounds of preventing the spread of COVID-19.
Border officials are preparing for surge in the numbers of migrants when the health order expires on May 23.
Cammack argued the shortage is just another example of how Biden is incapable of quickly solving problems confronting the US.
'This just points again to how out of touch this administration is and they could stop this with a simple policy change,' she said Monday after sharing the footage she captured at the border facilities.
The legislator, escorted by border patrol agents, captured pictures and videos from inside the facility, showing pallets filled with unopened boxes of baby supplies.
One image showed mounds of infant formula featuring handwritten dates, likely to denote expiration, of June 2023.
She also showed video of migrants appearing to utilize the supplies.
Cammack, speaking to Fox after the visit, said it is 'just another example of the broken administration that doesn't know how to govern.'
Vers, I started the Republican one to post the outlandish things they are doing. Nothing is normal about Republican politics since the tea party. All this breaking norms and attacking institutions, gun toting state house stormings, etc. Things so far from normal it blows my mind. So the thread was for pointing it all out originally. Just place to put all the crazy. That thread triggered this one.

SW Border Encounters: Cubans Up 939% Over Last April; Nicaraguans +308%; Colombians + 4,837% By Patrick Goodenough | May 18, 2022 | 4:24am EDT
(CNSNews.com) – With five months of the fiscal year yet to go, the number of migrants encountered at the southwest border from countries other than Mexico and the “northern triangle” is already 33 percent higher than the number encountered in the entire fiscal year 2021.
The number of all migrants trying to cross the border from Mexico into the United States, is expected to rise even more – and significantly so – if Title 42 is terminated, according to Republican critics.
The public health authority, which since 2020 has allowed the expulsion of illegal migrants without a court hearing due to concerns about the spread of COVID-19, is set to expire on May 23, unless federal court action delays or prevents the move.
Overall, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) recorded a new record-high 234,088 encounters in April with migrants of all nationalities trying to enter the U.S. illegally on the southwest border, stopped either by U.S. Border Patrol agents or by the Office of Field Operations officers at a port of entry. That’s 30.9 percent more than in April 2021, when a total of 178,795 encounters were reported.
Leaving aside encounters with migrants from Mexico and the northern triangle countries of Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador, the CBP recorded 108,555 encounters in April with individuals from the rest of the world.
That figure is also a new record-high, an increase of 23 percent from the 88,327 reported one month earlier, and a jump of 220 percent from April 2021, when 33,897 encounters were recorded.
The April figure for this cohort – everyone not from Mexico and the northern triangle – brings the year-to-date total for FY 2022 to 502,743, compared to 378,043 for all of FY 2021.
Migrants originating from Cuba, Nicaragua, and Colombia have accounted for especially large increases in the number of encounters over the past year.
--34,821 encounters with Cubans were reported in April, compared to 3,288 in April 2021, an increase of 939 percent.
--12,563 encounters with Nicaraguans were reported in April, compared to 3,074 in April last year, up by 308 percent.
--12,837 encounters with migrants from Colombia were reported in April, compared to just 260 in April 2021, an increase of 4,837 percent.
Mexico accounted for the largest number of encounters along the southwest border last month – 81,784, up from 65,597 in April 2021.
For each of the three northern triangle countries of Central America, however, the April figures were down from the same month last year: Guatemala 19,841 (down from 30,053 in April 2021), El Salvador 8,327 (down from 11,043 a year earlier), and Honduras 15,581 (down from 38,205 a year earlier).
The CBP tallies “encounters” with illegal migrants since it says many individuals are stopped more than once. Of the total of 234,088 southwest border migrant encounters in April, it said 28 percent were with people who had been involved in at least one previous encounter over the past 12 months.
Of the total 234,088 encounters in April, 96,908 (41 percent) of the individuals stopped were processed for expulsion under the pandemic-related Title 42, and 137,180 were processed under the traditional Title 8 authority.
Title 8 allows for the speedy removal of anyone who attempts to enter without authorization, and who are unable to establish a legal basis to remain, such as a valid asylum claim.
To be accurate the R thread was started before the D thread.
There is hypocrisy on both sides, always has been, always will be.
The level of hypocrisy on the right currently is far more nefarious and dangerous to the future of the country.
For example there is video of DJT calling into the false electorate voting in PA in support of the false electorates.
That would be a criminal act and a violation of the laws in my opinion.
There will be no playoffs. Can’t play with who we have out there and compounding it with garbage playcalling and worse execution. We don’t have good skill players on offense period. Browns 20 - Bears 17.

On the other hand realizing and recognizing and accepting that a mistake was made with the creation of the task force might be deemed as a good thing by some. What's worse, simply carrying on being wrong or changing tack?
Clearly what Biden needs to do is simple do the job of policing disinformation himself - like the last POTUS - call everything and anything that shines a bad light on his administration Fake News. Call the media that doesn't pander to him "The Enemy of the People" and he should cancel WH press meetings and only ever take questions and appear on state run media platforms.
The more things change the more they stay the same.
The fact that the name Ted Cruz and the term master class exists within the same headline shows there is no validity to it.
My bet is at least half the DT's in here would've posted this had you not but us to it.
There is no level of sucking we haven't seen; in fact, I'm pretty sure we hold the patents on a few levels of sucking NOBODY had seen until the past few years.

What is your end goal? Is to to find a solution? [me: I think not.] Is it to educate? [me: I doubt it.] Is it to belittle those who have different opinions than you? [me: Yes, I think so.]
How is that even remotely productive?
IMO, the stuff in here is going to be posted... thread or no. We've shown that, at times, we can have enlightening conversations in this forum. If these cuckoo threads can siphon off at least some of the garbage from the other threads, then IMO it's a value add.

Biden Seeks New Unilateral Powers for WHO Chief to Declare Public Health Emergencies By Mark Tapscott May 17, 2022 Updated: May 19, 2022
President Joe Biden’s administration is pushing amendments to the World Health Organization’s (WHO) governing regulations to give Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus unilateral authority to declare a public health emergency in any nation based on whatever evidence he chooses.
The proposed U.S. amendments were forwarded to the WHO in January for consideration next week by the UN’s 75th World Health Assembly in Geneva, Switzerland.
In a Jan. 26 letter to a virtual meeting of WHO’s executive board, Loyce Pace, Assistant Secretary for Global Affairs of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) described “the importance of equity and equitable access to medical countermeasures and the negative impacts of misinformation and disinformation related to the pandemic. We agree that we must all do better.
“The United States led an inclusive and transparent process to develop this decision, as we are mindful that updating and modernizing the IHR [International Health Regulations] are critical to ensuring the world is better prepared for and can respond to, the next pandemic.”
Among the proposed U.S. amendments, one removes an existing requirement in Section 9 that WHO “consult with and seek to obtain verification” from officials in a nation in which a health crisis is suspected before making any public declarations. The same amendment provides that “WHO may take into account reports from sources other than notifications or consultations” from the nation with the suspected problem.
A proposed change to Section 5 would direct WHO to establish “early warning criteria for assessing and progressively updating the national, regional, or global risk posed by an event of unknown causes or sources.”
A proposed amendment to Section 10 requires that the WHO, in the event the nation with the suspected problem doesn’t cooperate within 48 hours, shall “when justified by the magnitude of the public health risk, immediately share with other [nations] the information available to it.”
Nowhere do the amendments or accompanying documents explain how or why U.S. public health officials believe the equity issue in health care would be addressed by giving Tedros the authority to declare a public health emergency on the basis of information provided by a source other than the affected nation.
A search of the White House Press Office website found only one veiled reference to the WHO amendments. That reference was in a Feb. 2 Fact Sheet issued by the White House saying the U.S. “will continue to advance health security and pandemic preparedness abroad, including through strengthening WHO, working with partners towards targeted IHR amendments.”
The proposed amendment Section 5 of the WHO regulations also appears to parallel the Biden administration’s reference in a fact sheet on its proposed 2023 federal budget that was issued in April.
That reference commits the Biden administration to support “global threat detection innovations through a globally connected network of public health surveillance systems that optimizes disease prevention and health promotion as we strengthen surveillance initiatives to provide necessary actionable data before, during, and after a pandemic.”
“The budget includes $2.47 billion in mandatory funding for CDC to include enhancements to domestic sentinel surveillance programs, expansion of domestic and global wastewater surveillance, and investments in global genomic surveillance approaches, as well as global respiratory disease surveillance platforms,” the fact sheet states.
Respiratory surveillance platforms include video cameras and recorders that alert authorities when members of the public are seen coughing or otherwise acting in a manner that could indicate the presence of an infectious disease or help spread one already present in a population. Such equipment is widely used in China.
The Biden WHO amendments are the latest step in the current president’s efforts to reintegrate the U.S. with WHO after his predecessor, President Donald Trump, slashed U.S. funding to the international health organization and then gave notice of U.S. withdrawal.
One of Biden’s first acts as president was to withdraw Trump’s withdrawal notice and to restore U.S. funding, which accounts for half of WHO’s budget. Trump’s dissatisfaction with WHO stemmed from what he saw as the international health organization’s excessive deference to China regarding the origin of the CCP virus, which causes COVID-19.
A White House spokesman didn’t respond to The Epoch Times’ request for information on the amendments and the administration’s rationale for the proposals. An HHS spokesman also didn’t respond to The Epoch Times’ request for comment.
Critics of the amendments such as Dr. Peter Breggin, however, have not been reluctant to comment on the proposed amendments.
“The amendments would give WHO the right to take important steps to collaborate with other nations and other organizations worldwide to deal with any nation’s alleged health crisis, even against its stated wishes,” Breggin said in a May 4 post under a byline shared with his wife, Ginger Ross Breggin.
“The power to declare health emergencies is a potential tool to shame, intimidate, and dominate nations. It can be used to justify ostracism and economic or financial actions against the targeted nation by other nations aligned with WHO or who wish to harm and control the accused nation,” Breggin wrote.
Peter Breggin is a Harvard-trained psychiatrist, former U.S. Public Health Service officer, and former National Institute on Mental Health (NIMH) consultant. Ginger Ross Breggin is a journalist, author, and medical reform advocate.
Travis Weber, vice president for policy and government affairs at the Washington, D.C.-based Family Research Council, told The Epoch Times that “the American people need to express concern with the White House, especially as our president representing us on the world stage—we need an explanation of what you are doing here and why.”
Weber said Biden administration officials have “not really talked about this, so we need reporters to ask them at a press conference what are they proposing and really get them to explain it. People can express their concern about that to the White House and express concern to their members of Congress, and we need Members of Congress to challenge the administration to explain themselves. Part one of this is: ‘What is going on, what are you proposing, and why.'”
Similarly, Mat Staver, founder and chairman of the Florida-based Liberty Counsel public interest law firm, told The Epoch Times that if the U.S. decided not to cooperate with WHO on a possible health emergency, and “say you had Trump back in office who wants to pull out, or you have somebody else who doesn’t want to deal with WHO, they could bring it before the International Court at the Hague for fines or some other form of restriction. They could coordinate with their other member nations to take actions with regards to supplies, sharing data or other documentation for trade, and who knows what the consequences of that would be.”
Liberty Counsel also pointed out in a statement on May 12 that a UN report claimed in May 2021 that the pandemic would have been avoided had the international health organization had greater authority.
That report also recommended that WHO be given “an adaptable incentive regime, [including] sanctions such as public reprimands, economic sanctions, or denial of benefits” to nations that don’t cooperate with it.
COMMENTARY Documentary Trailer Labels MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace The ‘Typhoid Mary Of Disinformation’ Glenn Greenwald describes Nicolle Wallace as the “Typhoid Mary of Disinformation” in a new mini-documentary
MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace has been accused of being the “Typhoid Mary of Disinformation” in a new trailer that depicts many of now-disproven claims she made on national television.
The trailer, created by Matt Orfalea for a mini-documentary by Glenn Greenwald, features Wallace making wild allegations that range from claims 45th President Donald Trump wanted to “exterminate Latinos,” to the false claim that Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick was “beat to death” by election integrity protesters on January 6.
“From her days as a professional liar for the Bush/Cheney WH and campaign, now as a beloved-by-liberals MSNBC host, @NicolleDWallace has for two decades been the Typhoid Mary of Disinformation,” wrote Greenwald in a tweet posted on Wednesday.
“Nobody spreads it more. Our mini documentary will be up today,” Greenwald said.
The trailer also touches on Wallaces coverage of “Havana Syndrome,” a situation which involved U.S. diplomats in Cuba reporting hearing a loud sound, feeling pressure in their heads, experiencing dizziness — which U.S. intelligence officials suggested was a secret “sonic attack” by Russia against American officials with an unknown microwave weapon.
Wallace called the developments “acts of aggression” and “acts of war” that involved Russia “beaming something” to “hurt people’s brains,” only for it to later be revealed that the sounds heard by U.S. diplomats were actually coming from lovelorn crickets, and that little evidence supported claims of the existence of the secret Russian brain weapon.
Wallace had also previously dismissed evidence that COVID-19 came from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, referring to it as a “conspiracy theory” when President Trump sought to investigate the origins of the virus.
In the trailer, the MSNBC host called the infamous Hunter Biden laptop saga “a Russian disinformation operation,” only for the New York Times to later confirm the laptop’s authenticity.
The trailer for Greenwald’s documentary comes amid news that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is putting a pause on their Disinformation Governance Board, along with the controversial prospective chair of the board, Nina Jankowicz, who wrote up her resignation.
“It is deeply disappointing that mischaracterizations of the board became a distraction from the Department’s vital work, and indeed, along with recent events globally and nationally, embodies why it is necessary,” she wrote.
She listed all her qualifications. So if she was straight, white, and American born she would have no chance to get this job. If this is not real racism and bigotry, I do not know what is.
May I ask a question to those who have participated in this thread and the other thread about Cuckoo Republicans?
What is your end goal? Is to to find a solution? [me: I think not.] Is it to educate? [me: I doubt it.] Is it to belittle those who have different opinions than you? [me: Yes, I think so.]
How is that even remotely productive?
IMO, the stuff in here is going to be posted... thread or no. We've shown that, at times, we can have enlightening conversations in this forum. If these cuckoo threads can siphon off at least some of the garbage from the other threads, then IMO it's a value add.
The only reason the dem cuckoo thread exists is that the right has zero creativity or imagination. They just follow Melania's lead and plagiarize... LMAO
It's in light purple, because I'm only half joking. Brainics.
Your feelings and opinions do not add up to facts.
As Americans Suffer, Biden Regime Adds $100 Million in Arms for Ukraine on Top of $40 Billion Aid Package
BREAKING May 19, 2022 1:52 PM EST BREAKING: Biden admin adds $100 million in arms for Ukraine on top of $40 billion aid package The Biden administration has announced $100 million in arms funding to Ukraine on top of the existing $40 billion aid package.
The Biden administration has announced $100 million in arms funding to Ukraine on top of the newly approved $40 billion aid package. On Thursday, the Senate approved $40 billion in aid for Ukraine as the nation continues to fight back against Russia's invasion.
Just hours later, Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced that the United States would be sending an additional $100 million in arms. In a statement, Blinken explained that Ukrainian forces have "remained firmly in the fight" against Russia, but are in need of assistance, namely arms and other equipment. "Pursuant to a delegation from the President," Blinken said, "I am authorizing our tenth drawdown of additional arms and equipment for Ukraine’s defense from US Department of Defense inventories, valued at up to $100 million." "This brings total US military assistance to Ukraine to approximately $3.9 billion in arms and equipment since Russia launched its brutal and unprovoked full-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24. "The United States is committed to helping Ukraine continue to meet its defense needs and build its future capabilities," he continued, "as well as to bolster Allies and partners across NATO’s Eastern Flank and the broader region." The increasing amount of money has been criticized by Republicans, however only eleven voted against the recently passed $40 billion aid package.
Good, it should never had been created anyways. This is such a clown show.
Lol. Sooo fitting that they are "pausing and uncertain of the future" because they've been under verbal attack and mockery and their feelings are hurt!
On the other hand realizing and recognizing and accepting that a mistake was made with the creation of the task force might be deemed as a good thing by some. What's worse, simply carrying on being wrong or changing tack?
Clearly what Biden needs to do is simple do the job of policing disinformation himself - like the last POTUS - call everything and anything that shines a bad light on his administration Fake News. Call the media that doesn't pander to him "The Enemy of the People" and he should cancel WH press meetings and only ever take questions and appear on state run media platforms.
They didn't acknowledge it was a mistake. This sounds more like lay low until the heat dies down and then try again.
It's supposed to be hard! If it wasn't hard, everyone would do it. The hard... is what makes it great!
