Limits of emergency law

To date, the World Health Organization (WHO) has declared an international health emergency five times: the swine flu threat in 2009, Ebola in 2014, Zika virus in 2018 and coronavirus in 2020.

In 2022, the WHO sounded the alarm again and Director-General Tedros Ghebreyesus declared the monkeypox outbreak an international health emergency. Hardly anyone took him seriously. The untruth that was used to intimidate the population during the pandemic was too blatant.

At the WHO, a small committee decides whether to declare an international emergency. In the case of the monkey virus, six experts were in favor, nine were against. The Director General decided against the vote of his experts. He can.

The fact that he can only make recommendations must now change. A draft treaty has been presented to 194 WHO Member States that will prevent national single runs in the event a pandemic is declared. At first glance, this makes sense, since viruses do not recognize national boundaries. The CEO can now decide for himself whether Switzerland is quarantined, whether shops are closed, and whether masks and vaccinations are mandatory. Theoretically, a CEO who lacks democratic legitimacy can take precedence over the rule of law of members. He and his private donors, who fund 80 percent of WHO. According to Bavarian Radio fact-checkers, the largest donor is the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation with $2.5 billion. Federal President Berset assured that the purpose of the global pandemic treaty is only to improve coordination. In Africa they say: “You can eat a lie once, but you can’t eat it twice.”

Klaus Schwab, who calls the Chinese dictatorship “a role model for many countries,” also declares a state of emergency in his “Great Reset” to justify a totalitarian command economy, “committee to save the world.” On pages 133-136, he uses the term “global regulatory policy” seven times.

It is becoming popular to undermine the rule of law by imposing a state of emergency. Even climate criminals hallucinate the impending end of the world to legitimize their breaking of the law.
