The Congressional Bill to Kill the U.N. That You’ve Never Heard Of

Ding-dong, the witch is dead! (For now.)

The so-called WHO “pandemic treaty,” which essentially backdoors in U.N. control over American domestic politics under the guise of global cooperation to mitigate the next pandemic, which the likes of the WEF have repeatedly promised is on the way, is for the moment defeated.

Kim Iversen does a nice breakdown of its unceremonious and likely temporary (more on that coming up) demise.

WHO boss Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, for his part, has pledged to continue trying to ram his agenda down the throats of sovereign nations no matter what, and that this recent “setback” is merely a stumbling block on the way to totalitarian victory.

All that to say: we should not take, by any means, the victory achieved as a permanent rebuke of the WHO. It will be back, and it will have learned some strategic lessons.

In that vein, let’s look at a decidedly more permanent solution to the pandemic treaty beast: the Disengaging Entirely From the United Nations Debacle Act of 2023 (DEFUND), currently sitting and waiting to transform into law, if there are any patriotic members of Congress willing to champion it.

Repeal of United Nations Participation Act of 1945

(a)Repeal

The United Nations Participation Act of 1945 (Public Law 79–264; 22 U.S.C. 287 et seq.) is repealed.

(b)Termination of membership in United Nations

The President shall terminate all membership by the United States in the United Nations, and in any organ, specialized agency, commission, or other formally affiliated body of the United Nations.

(c)Closure of United States Mission to United Nations

The United States Mission to the United Nations is closed. Any remaining functions of such office shall not be carried out.

As should come as no surprise, the U.S. is the single largest benefactor of the United Nations, which Trump temporarily remedied and which Biden reinstituted as U.S. policy.

Via Council on Foreign Relations:

The United States remains the largest donor to the United Nations. It contributed more than $18 billion in 2022, accounting for one-third of funding for the body’s collective budget. Despite President Donald Trump’s efforts to cut funding, President Joe Biden has affirmed the United Nations’ importance to U.S. foreign policy and increased funding to the organization. In 2021, Biden resumed funding streams paused under Trump.

The DEFUND Act also addresses this funding question, which, if passed, would prevent a future Democrat president from overriding it without Congressional action, as Congress controls the purse strings under the Constitution:

No funds are authorized to be appropriated or otherwise made available for assessed or voluntary contributions of the United States to the United Nations or to any organ, specialized agency, commission or other formally affiliated body of the United Nations, except that funds may be appropriated to facilitate termination of United States membership and withdrawal of United States personnel and equipment, in accordance with sections 2 and 3, respectively. Upon termination of United States membership, no payments shall be made to the United Nations or to any organ, specialized agency, commission or other formally affiliated body of the United Nations, out of any funds appropriated prior to such termination or out of any other funds available for such purposes.

Why hasn’t Trump made this bill a centerpiece of his campaign? If he has mentioned it previously, it was only in passing, whereas it ought to be a pillar of his agenda that he hammers at every opportunity.

He recently committed to “looking at” prosecuting Fauci for perjury, a laudable act but by no means enough to render justice for arguably the greatest crime in human history, or to prevent the next one. To do that, we need to first start by destroying the corrupt institutions that facilitated it, both domestically (NIH, CDC, et al.) and internationally (the UN and WHO).
