"This is where punk rock Botswana read a statement of behalf of 47 AFRO members telling the First World where they can shove their reform."

Just repeating because it's cathartic.

Wow another great essay and the title blows me away! I’m with Nova123–we can’t have centralized power without abuse. Isn’t the WHO just another example of the overweening hubris of the West? Thank goodness for Botswana and it’s peers.

I don't think humanity is evolved enough to have world centralized power. People are too vulnerable to taking advantage of their power when they have too much of it. I really appreciate the balance of power in the US Constitution.

It's similar to what you have written, that not enough people recognize our inter-connectedness and inter-dependence with each other and with nature. We may get there at some point though, give us another couple hundred years...

secondly, DIGITAL. The WHO's plans for growing their power, apart from funding more people in more offices in more countries, consist largely of digital surveillance, control and enforcement. I think this will be the focus from now on, as many governments give up on the vaccines but turn their attention to digital IDs and CBDCs. Digital is where the interests of governments and social planners such as the WEF and WHO coincide, and what's even better is that we the people hold the tools of our own oppression in our hands. Personally, I'm going to continue living off-smartphone.

Dr David Bell (quoted in my own substack on the WHO treaty) is great on the importance of Africa in this - how low and middle-income countries have been shafted by western capitalism in the past and are rightly suspicious of Pharma's eagerness to get them vaxxed. And they are already suffering the worst effects of the lockdown policies inflicted by WHO. (No surprise that Pfizer announced at the WEF a plan to 'offer' African countries the Covid drugs on a not-for-profit basis - get them hooked)

Thanks for another snappy and potent punch to the powers-that-shouldn’t be, Visceral Adventure! 🥊

The answer to the question you texted James is obvious to me:

• Dr. Tess Lawrie’s World Council for Health (https://worldcouncilforhealth.org)

They have zero conflicts of interest and are committed to protecting the health freedom of people around the world.

Here is their mission:

“The World Council for Health is a non-profit organization for the people, that is informed and funded by the people. Our global coalition of health-focused organizations and civil society groups seeks to broaden public health knowledge and sense-making through science and shared wisdom. We are dedicated to safeguarding human rights and free will while empowering people to take control of their health and wellbeing.”

Behind the #StopTheWHO campaign is a larger message to exit and build. So at the same time we are calling on countries withdraw from the WHO, we are pointing them to the Better Way (https://betterwayconference.org) already being paved by the WCH.

Fabulous essay - thanks! And I'm pretty clear we don't need any over-arching institutions looking after our health - no sir-ee!
