RFK Jr. Lauded as Hero After U.S. Rejects WHO’s Expanded Pandemic Powers

RFK Jr. just said NO to the World Health Organization’s new pandemic rules, a blueprint for medical tyranny, which would have given the WHO authority to impose global lockdowns, travel bans, school closures, vaccine passports, and digital health IDs. The treaty would bypass Congress and allow the WHO to impose restrictions on Americans without checks and balances and without the consent of the American people.
On July 18, 2025, the United States officially rejected key amendments to the World Health Organization’s pandemic preparedness treaty, citing concerns over national sovereignty and vague, overreaching authority that could allow the WHO to unilaterally declare health emergencies and impose mandates.
United States Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Secretary of State Marco Rubio jointly denounced the treaty, warning that it lacked public input, used ambiguous language, and elevated political ideals like “solidarity” above national preparedness. They also flagged provisions for global surveillance, digital health documentation, and narrative control, raising fears of international censorship and institutionalized propaganda.
Kennedy explained, in a video statemen, that the WHO’s new amendments to the International Health Regulations (IHR) would effectively strip nations of their decision-making power during health emergencies. “Nations who accept the new regulations are signing over their power to an unelected international organization that could order lockdowns, travel restrictions, or any other measures it sees fit,” he said. Worse still, the WHO wouldn’t even need to declare a health emergency, “potential” risks could be enough to trigger intervention.
Kennedy criticized the Biden-era push for adopting the amendments without public debate, especially given the treaty’s sweeping consequences. “If we’re going to give the WHO that much power, we should at least invite a thorough public debate, especially since the agreement is an official treaty and it bypasses the U.S. Senate,” he said. He also warned that the amendments would require countries to implement “risk communication systems” enabling global messaging dictated by the WHO, essentially legalizing the type of narrative management and censorship seen during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The treaty also called for digital health IDs, vaccine passports, and a centralized medical database, laying what Kennedy described as the foundation for “global medical surveillance of every human being.” He condemned the move as an elite-driven power grab: “The United States of America has a Constitution for a reason. We can’t let it be stripped from us by international bureaucrats and their bosses at the billionaire boys’ club in Davos.”
This latest move aligns with President Trump’s longstanding distrust of the World Health Organization and broader skepticism of global institutions. Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, Trump had called out international organizations like the United Nations, the World Trade Organization, and climate accords, accusing them of exploiting the United States. His fiscal year 2021 budget proposal included a 50% cut to WHO funding, signaling early intent to reduce U.S. involvement.
Trump’s direct confrontation with the WHO escalated during the COVID-19 pandemic. He accused the organization of being biased toward China, citing its early praise of Beijing’s pandemic response and silence on China’s suppression of whistleblowing doctors. He also faulted the WHO for spreading misinformation, opposing travel bans, and reacting too slowly to the crisis. Trump argued that, despite the United States being one of the WHO’s largest donors, the organization failed to uphold transparency or accountability.
In April 2020, Trump suspended U.S. funding to the WHO pending a review, and by July, his administration began formal withdrawal proceedings. That decision was reversed by President Biden in 2021.
Now in his second term, Trump has followed through. On January 20, 2025, he signed an executive order formally withdrawing the U.S. from the WHO. The order cited national sovereignty, unfair financial contributions, and the WHO’s failure to enact reforms or resist political pressure from member states. It instructed Secretary of State Marco Rubio to cease participation in WHO treaty negotiations, pause U.S. funding transfers, and reassign any federal personnel working with the organization. Trump also declared that recent amendments to the WHO’s International Health Regulations would have no legal force in the United States.
RFK Jr. emphasized (in a May 20 speech to the World Health Assembly) that while the U.S. remains committed to global health, it prefers cooperation outside the WHO framework, aiming for new, transparent agreements aligned with American values and sovereignty. Congress has supported this move: Republicans passed resolutions conditioning future WHO engagement on Senate approval and triggered funding cuts. The current administration continues to prioritize national autonomy in health policymaking.
Dear President Trump:
Please tell Senate Republicans they must cancel August recess.
And confirm the backlog of your nominees:https://t.co/RctuLBacoP
If Senate Democrats are going to mindlessly obstruct every nominee, make them do it in August.
Recess is for kids. https://t.co/xyqx0tiAKe

JAG Convicts Activist Federal Judge James Boasberg of Treason

(Excerpt only)
The [JAG] admiral showed the panel text messages JAG had retrieved from Boasberg’s phone. On March 13, two days before issuing injunctions blocking Trump’s use of the Alien Enemies Act, Boasberg texted 27 federal judges—most Obama or Clinton appointees—in nine states, urging them to exercise their judicial authority to stymie Trump’s deportations. Replies came fast and furious: “How is this legal?” “Can we do that?” “Is it legal?”
Boasberg responded, “We’ll make it legal,” implying he knew it wasn’t.
Nonetheless, on March 15, Boasberg temporarily blocked the president’s use of law, as two planeloads of violent gangsters were en route from the United States to El Salvador. He demanded that the Trump administration order the flights to turn around, land back in the US, and release the detainees.
But the planes were already in international airspace, over which Boasberg had no authority. When they landed in El Salvador hours later, Boasberg threatened to hold the Trump administration in contempt. He had also sent to his fellow radical judges a message expressing his outrage. “Can you believe this? We must stop him. No one else will! If Trump bends the law, so can we. We decide what the law is, not Trump!”
Not all of his compatriots were committed to his seemingly rebellious plot. “We dare not go against Trump,” “Let’s just bide our time,” “There’s a time and a place for everything, and this isn’t the time or place,” were some replies to his message.
Their replies didn’t calm Boasberg’s rage. “I’ve talked to Barrack. None of us would be where we are if it weren’t for Barrack or Bill. We owe it to them. Barrack told me we must be united in this to stop deportations. We can’t just sit back and interpret law; that time’s gone.”

Amid Collapsing Morale, Ukrainians ‘Lost Faith’ in Zelensky, With 70% Convinced That Kiev Regime Leaders Are Using the War to Enrich Themselves: REPORT
Paul Serran, Gateway Pundit, Jul. 19, 2025

Ukrainians have had enough of Zelensky.
During the three and a half years of the war in Ukraine, the western Globalist politicians and the obedient mainstream media have painted Volodymyr Zelensky as the defender of democracy, a historical, mythological figure comparable to WW2’s Winston Churchill.
Then, of course, came Donald J. Trump, calling him ‘a moderately successful comedian’, ‘the greatest salesman on earth’, and ‘a dictator, with no elections’.
Now, even as Trump promised Kiev air defenses with new Patriot batteries and is threatening Russia’s Vladimir Putin with sanctions, a Spectator article shows Ukraine about to be ‘engulfed in a critical military, political and social crisis that threatens to destroy it from within.’
Spectator reported:
“Putin chose war over peace this spring because his spies and generals told him that Ukraine is on the brink of collapse. Alarmingly, they may be right. Ukraine is running out of fighting men. Its frontline soldiers are exhausted and US military support has narrowed to focus on air defense. The Kiev government is racked by corruption scandals and purges, public faith in their future and in their leaders is tanking and pressure to make peace at almost any price is growing.”
Ukranians now believe that their leaders – like Zelensky – prolong the war for personal profit.
Former officials are quoted saying that they believe Zelensky is ‘prolonging the war to hold on to power.’
“Now 47 per cent think that ‘Ukraine will be a depopulated country with a ruined economy’. A separate survey found that 70 per cent of Ukrainians also believe their leaders are using the war to enrich themselves.”
While ministers are investigated for ‘embezzlement and treason’, it took pressure from the US embassy in Kiev to keep Zelensky from firing Major General Kyrylo Budanov, the head of Ukraine’s military intelligence – because of his growing popularity.
“‘Ukraine has two enemies, two Vladimirs: Zelensky and Putin,’ says a former Ukrainian cabinet minister, once a strong Zelensky supporter. ‘Putin is destroying Ukraine from [the] outside, but Zelensky is destroying it from within by destroying its will to fight and its morale.”
Kiev under attack: Ukrainians feel like expendable pawns in a geopolitical chess.
Zelensky’s presidential mandate expired in May last year, but he is still exiling some potential opponents, imprisoning and sanctioning others.
He is also running out of troops.
Almost 7 million citizens have fled the country, and no less than 230k criminal cases have been opened for desertion since the war started.
“More soldiers have deserted the Ukrainian army than there are fighting men in today’s British, French and German armies combined.
[…] No outsiders can reverse the spiral of arrests of former regime loyalists, crackdown on opposition members and shutdown of media outlets that are doing so much to erode Ukrainians’ faith in the war effort and in Zelensky’s leadership.”
