Americans are facing a new existential threat on top of all the other massive threats already upon us. Despite my best efforts to highlight “Pandemic Treaty 2.0” for the last seven months, it only started getting attention from louder voices in conservative and alternative media over the last couple of weeks. Now, it’s crunch time with the World Health Organization bringing in Joe Biden next week to sign it. What can we do?
Some are saying it won’t be binding because it needs Senate approval for ratification. The powers-that-be have a workaround for that. Others are saying that since healthcare falls to the states that we can fight it there. The powers-that-be have a workaround for that. Fighting this abomination will take more than the simple solutions some are offering in their social media hot takes. That’s why I’m doing a deep dive on today’s episode of The JD Rucker Show.
The “Executive Agreement” Loophole Around Ratification
We need to acknowledge the near certainty that the treaty WILL be signed. Now we need to figure out how to reverse it as quickly as possible.
“But wait,” you’re probably thinking. “Doesn’t this need to be ratified following consent from a supermajority in the Senate?” It’s a fair question that’s been asked a lot lately. While there is no consensus among constitutional scholars, there is plenty of precedent for “executive agreements” to carry the same weight as treaties under particular circumstances. Unfortunately, the “provisional” nature of this agreement makes it fall under those circumstances.
A portion of the Zero Draft from Article 35 details that this is “provisional” and would take effect through executive signature immediately BEFORE being subjected to legislative approval. But if we’ve learned anything since 9/11, it’s that our government will take temporary or “provisional” doctrines and extend them out indefinitely. This “executive agreement” will last until a different president removes us from it or the Supreme Court acts against it. Congress can do nothing without a veto-proof supermajority. Here’s that section of the Zero Draft:
1. The WHO CA+ may be applied provisionally, in whole or in part, by a signatory and/or Party that consents to its provisional application by so notifying the Depositary in writing at the time of signature of the instrument, or signature or deposit of its instrument of ratification, acceptance, approval, formal confirmation or accession. Such provisional application shall become effective from the date of receipt of the notification by the Secretary-General of the United Nations.
States Rights Be Damned
The biggest risk of the Pandemic Treaty is that it opens a pathway through which the federal government, under control of the World Health Organization, will have legally binding authority to circumvent the Constitution in regards to states’ jurisdiction over healthcare. According to The Epoch Times:
The U.S. Supreme Court has on several occasions supported the notion that these executive agreements constitute federal law and supersede state laws and regulations. This includes State of Missouri v. Holland, which ruled that treaties supersede state laws, and United States v. Belmont, which ruled that executive agreements without Senate consent are legally binding on Americans. Under the U.S. Constitution, health policy falls under state jurisdiction, but the WHO pandemic accord may be a way to bring health policy under the jurisdiction of the federal government, once the WHO declares a pandemic.
Increasingly, the Biden administration is looking toward international agreements to do what it can’t achieve through Congress. Most recently, having failed to increase corporate taxes in Congress, the Biden administration entered into an international agreement with the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) to set minimum tax levels on all corporations within signatory countries. While GOP lawmakers said the agreement had “no path forward” toward approval as a treaty, provisions written into the agreement allowed foreign countries to tax U.S.-based corporate profits as a punitive measure, if senators do not approve it.
The only thing that prevented the Biden-Harris regime from imposing more mandates is that they could not force healthcare policies onto the states. This agreement gives them a possible backdoor through which to do so since treaties are considered grounds to impose, as they’ve done many times in the pass, supremacy over the states.
The question then becomes a loop. If it’s a treaty, it must receive Senate approval to be ratified. If they’re claiming it’s an executive agreement, then does it hold the same weight as a ratified treaty? Based on previous Supreme Court rulings, it appears that it does. This is an incorrect decision and the precedent of United States vs Belmont should be disregarded. The real question is whether or not it can be. More on that below.
One Health Surveillance
The most dangerous aspect, at least early on, regarding the Pandemic Treaty is that it empowers government to go after “misinformation” and “disinformation” through “One Health Surveillance.” This is also something the U.S. government has struggled to do over the years, at least publicly. They have been doing it with Twitter and other Big Tech companies for years, as the Twitter Files have revealed, so there’s that. But their efforts to stifle perspectives through their so-called Ministry of Truth failed, at least temporarily.
With the Pandemic Treaty, that no longer becomes an issue. The U.S. government would simply outsource their censorship to the World Health Organization and have their perfect workaround against the Constitution.
Their “One Health Surveillance” proposal is ambiguous for a reason. Under the auspices of “pandemic response,” they will have the ability to not only monitor everyone at every moment, but to determine what can and cannot be said or done.
For example, here’s what M. Dowling said over at Independent Sentinel:
To give you an idea of where they hope to go, they plan to control us through the electrification of our energy sector. The World Economic Forum plans to use smart devices on air conditioning, TVs, and Electric Vehicles so the state can act aggressively and shut them down when the grid is overloaded.

“It will happen,” she said. She meant it.
The Climate Change Skeleton Key
For several years now, there has been an increasingly loud drumbeat of gaslighting to try to equate climate change hysteria as a healthcare concern. The strategic reasoning for this is now crystal clear. If they can get the people to accept that climate change is a healthcare issue and if they can get policies to treat it as such, that gives the powers-that-be and their puppets in the World Health Organization the skeleton key to unlock whatever powers they deem appropriate.
Climate change has been applied to every aspect of human existence in the western world. This is why it has been so embraced by the globalist elite cabal since the 1970s. They envisioned back then what we’re seeing manifesting today. Climate change can be blamed for everything that happens in the world. Cognitive dissonance is no longer an issue because far too few lucid patriots are willing to take the heat associated with being called a “climate change denier.”
Even most Republican lawmakers go lukewarm at best in their criticisms of the Climate Change Cult. We have zero hope that they’ll be able to do anything from Washington DC to bring back sanity and scientific understanding to the debate. They fail to separate climate change policy from climate change politics. Instead of seeing the science, they only see the political science that has been driving the fear.
Once the Pandemic Treaty is signed, we will instantaneously see healthcare and climate change linked in absolute fashion. Corporate media will run constant stories about how climate change is causing cancer. They will say climate change is causing all of our food shortages. They will say that climate change is sparking every single disease that ever pops up. In other words, the climate change rhetoric we’re already hearing today will be ramped up exponentially.
This will give the World Health Organization control over literally everything.
Coffee the Christian way: Promised Grounds
How Do We Stop It?
Waiting for Congress to do something is futile. They have been effectively taken out of the game through the “Executive Agreement” aspect of the Pandemic Treaty. Moreover, any legislation they would pass to prevent or reverse it would need supermajorities in both chambers to overcome Biden’s veto.
Hoping a Republican president will reverse it in 2024 is far too long. The damage that will be done between now and then can be tremendous. Moreover, I firmly believe that this is the reason they stole the 2020 election in the first place. Donald Trump pulled the U.S. out of the World Health Organization, which meant the powers-that-be needed him out of the way.
Let’s take it a step further on the conspiratorial scale. If I am correct that getting the Pandemic Treaty in place was the overarching reason for the stolen 2020 election, then we can assume they will try to make sure the Republican nominee for the 2024 election is not going to try to repeat those actions. Contrary to popular belief, the globalist elite cabal don’t care about whether a Republican or Democrat is in the White House. They only care about whether or not a president is going to work against their evil plans.
I would argue that they didn’t really care who won in the 2000 or 2004 elections. George W. Bush, Al Gore, and John Kerry all promoted different aspects of the globalists’ plans. They were all “in the club,” so to speak. Barack Obama was a prize for them, so they did want him to win even if the Republicans he ran against were globalists as well.
Then Trump won and screwed things up for them. It was a setback and they did what they needed to do to reverse that in 2020 so they could get back on track.
The point is this. They will try to get the GOP to nominate someone who will not thwart their plans. If they can do that, they won’t have to worry about the 2024 election. If they cannot do that and a risky Republican is nominated, they will do whatever it takes to make sure the Democrat wins. This is why I’ll declare right now that the 2024 election, if we have one at all, will be the most important in our lifetimes UNLESS they can get the GOP to nominate a globalism-friendly candidate, in which case the 2024 election will be essentially meaningless.
If we can’t get Congress to do what’s necessary and we can’t wait around to see how 2024 pans out, what should we be doing today? To me, the Supreme Court is the only earthly entity that can do anything about the Pandemic Treaty in a relatively timely manner. I’m not a constitutional scholar, but from my layman perspective I think the states’ control over healthcare policy is the best approach. Trying to force Senate approval for ratification seems to be too much of a stretch even for the semi-conservative Supreme Court. But empowering the states through limited-government federalism to decide individually how they will handle future pandemics makes more constitutional sense. Again, I’m a layman, but that’s my sense on the matter.
What does that mean for us? We need lawsuits. We need several lawsuits. We need people to file these lawsuits and we the rest of us to support those who file them. I have no idea how that will manifest, but I’d love to talk to attorneys or constitutional scholars who know how to lead such efforts.
This is the existential threat of the hour. It’s the next destructive phase of the plan to end western hegemony and bring the United States into parity with the rest of the world. This is The Great Reset unfolding before our eyes. Can we stop it before it’s too late?
Five Things New “Preppers” Forget When Getting Ready for Bad Times Ahead
The preparedness community is growing faster than it has in decades. Even during peak times such as Y2K, the economic downturn of 2008, and Covid, the vast majority of Americans made sure they had plenty of toilet paper but didn’t really stockpile anything else.
Things have changed. There’s a growing anxiety in this presidential election year that has prompted more Americans to get prepared for crazy events in the future. Some of it is being driven by fearmongers, but there are valid concerns with the economy, food supply, pharmaceuticals, the energy grid, and mass rioting that have pushed average Americans into “prepper” mode.
There are degrees of preparedness. One does not have to be a full-blown “doomsday prepper” living off-grid in a secure Montana bunker in order to be ahead of the curve. In many ways, preparedness isn’t about being able to perfectly handle every conceivable situation. It’s about being less dependent on government for as long as possible. Those who have proper “preps” will not be waiting for FEMA to distribute emergency supplies to the desperate masses.
Below are five things people new to preparedness (and sometimes even those with experience) often forget as they get ready. All five are common sense notions that do not rely on doomsday in order to be useful. It may be nice to own a tank during the apocalypse but there’s not much you can do with it until things get really crazy. The recommendations below can have places in the lives of average Americans whether doomsday comes or not.

Secured Wealth
Whether in the bank or held in a retirement account, most Americans feel that their life’s savings is relatively secure. At least they did until the last couple of years when de-banking, geopolitical turmoil, and the threat of Central Bank Digital Currencies reared their ugly heads.
It behooves Americans to diversify their holdings. If there’s a triggering event or series of events that cripple the financial systems or devalue the U.S. Dollar, wealth can evaporate quickly. To hedge against potential turmoil, many Americans are looking in two directions: Crypto and physical precious metals.
There are huge advantages to cryptocurrencies, but there are also inherent risks because “virtual” money can become challenging to spend. Add in the push by central banks and governments to regulate or even replace cryptocurrencies with their own versions they control and the risks amplify. There’s nothing wrong with cryptocurrencies today but things can change rapidly.
As for physical precious metals, many Americans pay cash to keep plenty on hand in their safe. Rolling over or transferring retirement accounts into self-directed IRAs is also a popular option, but there are caveats. It can often take weeks or even months to get the gold and silver shipped if the owner chooses to close their account. This is why Genesis Gold Group stands out. Their relationship with the depositories allows for rapid closure and shipping, often in less than 10 days from the time the account holder makes their move. This can come in handy if things appear to be heading south.
Lots of Potable Water
One of the biggest shocks that hit new preppers is understanding how much potable water they need in order to survive. Experts claim one gallon of water per person per day is necessary. Even the most conservative estimates put it at over half-a-gallon. That means that for a family of four, they’ll need around 120 gallons of water to survive for a month if the taps turn off and the stores empty out.
Being near a fresh water source, whether it’s a river, lake, or well, is a best practice among experienced preppers. It’s necessary to have a water filter as well, even if the taps are still working. Many refuse to drink tap water even when there is no emergency. Berkey was our previous favorite but they’re under attack from regulators so the Alexapure systems are solid replacements.
For those in the city or away from fresh water sources, storage is the best option. This can be challenging because proper water storage containers take up a lot of room and are difficult to move if the need arises. For “bug in” situations, having a larger container that stores hundreds or even thousands of gallons is better than stacking 1-5 gallon containers. Unfortunately, they won’t be easily transportable and they can cost a lot to install.
Water is critical. If chaos erupts and water infrastructure is compromised, having a large backup supply can be lifesaving.
Pharmaceuticals and Medical Supplies
There are multiple threats specific to the medical supply chain. With Chinese and Indian imports accounting for over 90% of pharmaceutical ingredients in the United States, deteriorating relations could make it impossible to get the medicines and antibiotics many of us need.
Stocking up many prescription medications can be hard. Doctors generally do not like to prescribe large batches of drugs even if they are shelf-stable for extended periods of time. It is a best practice to ask your doctor if they can prescribe a larger amount. Today, some are sympathetic to concerns about pharmacies running out or becoming inaccessible. Tell them your concerns. It’s worth a shot. The worst they can do is say no.
If your doctor is unwilling to help you stock up on medicines, then Jase Medical is a good alternative. Through telehealth, they can prescribe daily meds or antibiotics that are shipped to your door. As proponents of medical freedom, they empathize with those who want to have enough medical supplies on hand in case things go wrong.
Energy Sources
The vast majority of Americans are locked into the grid. This has proven to be a massive liability when the grid goes down. Unfortunately, there are no inexpensive remedies.
Those living off-grid had to either spend a lot of money or effort (or both) to get their alternative energy sources like solar set up. For those who do not want to go so far, it’s still a best practice to have backup power sources. Diesel generators and portable solar panels are the two most popular, and while they’re not inexpensive they are not out of reach of most Americans who are concerned about being without power for extended periods of time.
Natural gas is another necessity for many, but that’s far more challenging to replace. Having alternatives for heating and cooking that can be powered if gas and electric grids go down is important. Have a backup for items that require power such as manual can openers. If you’re stuck eating canned foods for a while and all you have is an electric opener, you’ll have problems.
Don’t Forget the Protein
When most think about “prepping,” they think about their food supply. More Americans are turning to gardening and homesteading as ways to produce their own food. Others are working with local farmers and ranchers to purchase directly from the sources. This is a good idea whether doomsday comes or not, but it’s particularly important if the food supply chain is broken.
Most grocery stores have about one to two weeks worth of food, as do most American households. Grocers rely heavily on truckers to receive their ongoing shipments. In a crisis, the current process can fail. It behooves Americans for multiple reasons to localize their food purchases as much as possible.
Long-term storage is another popular option. Canned foods, MREs, and freeze dried meals are selling out quickly even as prices rise. But one component that is conspicuously absent in shelf-stable food is high-quality protein. Most survival food companies offer low quality “protein buckets” or cans of meat, but they are often barely edible.
Prepper All-Naturals offers premium cuts of steak that have been cooked sous vide and freeze dried to give them a 25-year shelf life. They offer Ribeye, NY Strip, and Tenderloin among others.
Having buckets of beans and rice is a good start, but keeping a solid supply of high-quality protein isn’t just healthier. It can help a family maintain normalcy through crises.
Prepare Without Fear
With all the challenges we face as Americans today, it can be emotionally draining. Citizens are scared and there’s nothing irrational about their concerns. Being prepared and making lifestyle changes to secure necessities can go a long way toward overcoming the fears that plague us. We should hope and pray for the best but prepare for the worst. And if the worst does come, then knowing we did what we could to be ready for it will help us face those challenges with confidence.
Treaties must follow the restraints within the Constitution…
Reid v Covert 1956 case says The Executive and Legislative Branches can not circumvent the Constitution to pass Treaties
To do so would be to change the Constitution in contravention of Article V
This is a good article. I concur with the assessment. FYI, typo last paragraph, parody should be parity. No offense intended.
Not so much a comment as a question: Is it constitutional for a President to form any agreement or Treaty with an organization? To my knowledge, these instruments need to be made with States…. and the WHO is not one of those.
Unfortunately, lawsuits are pointless with today’s bought and paid for justices. Just look to Arizona to see exactly how a lawsuit would play out.
We all need to simply say no. And back it with firepower.
Correct…except for one little/BIG detail – ‘they’ will indeed sign the WHO ‘Accord’ – NOT currently coined a Treaty, which allows them the luxury of ‘bypassing’ Senate approval, since it’s NOT technically being referred to as a ‘Treaty’, but instead an ‘Accord’…see how that works for them 😉 Maybe a few Repubs will get something done but, NOT holding my breath.

Thanks for ALL you do – Keep Up the Good Fight!
Our only solution to this, as I understand JD’s article, is to wait until (if) several lawsuits are filed against WHO’s “Pandemic Treaty”, then hope for favorable decisions (such as reaffirmation that healthcare is the responsibility of the states). Ultimately, such cases will, maybe, end up being adjudicated by the Supreme Court while we hope that the court acts independently and decides in our favor. Which, as JD points out, will be too late.
It would seem that if this the only viable option, then we have lost, and that reading this column and pondering a solution is simply a waste of time and energy.
I hope there is a Plan B.
“It’s the next destructive phase of the plan to end western hegemony and bring the United States into parody with the rest of the world.”
Uh, I think the author means “parity “, not “parody”. Just sayin’…
We have let the govenrment usurp and trample the Constitution through the black robed clown on the Supreme Circus for so long now that we have put ourselves at the mercy of that most noble, honest, and upright and ethical class of persons in the USA today: LAWYERS.
The USA was a nice idea. Too bad nothing lasts forever.
Well we can’t vote harder if the system is prone to fraud…
And the medical cartel can pound sand
