Before Barack Obama was elected, he promised to “fundamentally transform” America. Joe Biden’s first term is often referred to as Obama’s third term because an objective look at the Biden administration’s accomplishments do show fundamental changes in America.
Examples are: this administration’s constant disregarding of our Constitution on immigration, mismanagement of the economy causing inflation, dwindling military enlistment and dated equipment, the loss of energy independence, woke social reforms and the lack of a clear foreign policy throughout the world, student debt forgiveness circumventing the Supreme Court’s decision limiting presidential power. All Executive Branch dictates.
This past week, the Biden administration closed off 13 million acres in Alaska from use, imposed carbon capture regulations on gas and coal fired power plants making it too expensive for them to continue operations, hijacked the Internet with a new net neutrality rule and declared illegal all noncompete agreements between employees and their employers. Congress (the people’s voice) was consulted on none of this.
Executive fiat is widely used here in New Mexico as in our nation’s capital. Our governor is no stranger to issuing emergency healthcare orders. We remember her COVID orders caused businesses to close and fail, which ended employment for many. Of late, she is using emergency health orders declaring it illegal for law-abiding citizens to possess a firearm for protection in certain public areas, where crime is evident. She threatens to veto any bill that would limit her emergency powers.
Our president has ignored what is best for the country as well as his constitutional responsibility by allowing our borders to be flooded by immigrants from all over the world. He has drained our strategic petroleum reserve (SPR) to artificially lower the cost of gasoline and diesel.
Though intended for emergency use it has not been replaced. He is pursuing two treaties sponsored by the World Health Organization (WHO) which, if ratified by the Senate, will place health policies in the hands of an international body.
These two treaties are being negotiated in Geneva with countries around the world and mostly out of view of their public. If ratified, they will give WHO’s top bureaucrat control over health policies in member nations. If ratified by the Senate, it will amount to a surrender of our national sovereignty and medical freedoms. It is all about control.
Article 55 of the existing Pandemic Treaty draft requires four months for all parties to read, review and approve the treaty’s final conditions. There are now 307 amendments which are being written into a new Pandemic Treaty which expands the scope of the first international health regulations and places approval on a fast track for a May date. Forget any thoughtful review.
Fortunately, members of the House and Senate Sovereignty Coalition held a press conference on Capitol Hill to oppose any immediate approval of the treaties and suggested requiring the four-month discussion as per Article 55 to heightening public awareness of the treaties and their effects on personal freedom, states’ rights and our constitutionally guaranteed freedoms.
Sovereignty Coalition released a McLaughlin and Associates poll of 1000 citizens who prefer our present system by 75% over 9% who favor a WHO treaty. Sixteen-percent had no opinion. The Coalition encourages all Americans to learn more about the treaty by visiting SovereigntyCoalition.org
I contacted our Senators Lujan and Heinrich regarding the treaty and they seemed unconcerned. Senator Lujan wrote, “No agreement would infringe upon the sovereignty of the United States or our ability to make our own decisions.” However, those who anticipate the coming of a new world order consider such a move as being a step toward the fulfillment of Revelation 13 and the rule of the antichrist.
Back to New Mexico, Governor Grisham has declared her fifth special session to begin July 18, for the purpose of passing more legislation to enhance “public safety.” She said in her announcement the legislators need to enact “additional statutory changes” to combat dangers facing communities. She has indicated the legislative proposals will be an extension of the last session, but the specifics are lacking, which causes me to question if the session will really benefit communities or expand government power.
Will it contain more gun control legislation which was soundly defeated in the last session? Will it put an end to cashless bonds for criminals? Will it fund more law enforcement needs from our vast surplus? Will it really serve the public needs? Will she address protecting the unguarded border at Sunland Park, where hundreds enter our country illegally, every day. We can only hope so.
What more freedoms must law abiding people yield to our progressive, power-hungry politicians, in the name of public safety, for the greater good? As of this writing, our politicians are either in the dark or not talking. Few know what the governor has in mind.
