Quote:On March 20, WHO ambassador and Britain’s former Prime Minister Gordon Brown praised the efforts of a “100+ pantheon of global leaders” that have come to the WHO’s defense.
I don't much care for the way Mr. Brown worded that - "pantheon" is from Greek, and literally means "all gods" ("pan-" = "all" and "theon" = "gods"). Those bastards are definitely not gods... I ain't even sure they rise to the level of "men"!
Fact is, the US Constitution REQUIRES that any international treaties signed by the US MUST be passed through the Senate for confirmation, else they are null and void, of no effect, and not legally binding. Lately there has been a disturbing trend of not putting international treaties to a Senate vote for confirmation or refutation, and so many of them have no legal standing in the US... yet they just keep signing them, hoping no one will notice.
I will not comply with any illegal "laws". Never have, never will. They can kiss my rosy red ass - I'M not the one that signed their stupid treaty, so it doesn't bind me in any way.
Back during the Indian Wars, a few chiefs would get together and sign a treaty with the US, and promptly get told to fuck off by other tribal members, who used the same rationale - THEY didn't sing the treaty, so it didn't apply to them. That treaty was someone else's promise, not theirs, and they'd be damned if they would keep promises they never made. Same here. I think a lot of that got precipitated by chiefs of foreign tribes trying to make promises on behalf of tribes they had nothing to do with - for example, the way the Iroquois and Cherokees had a habit of selling or giving up lands that were not theirs to give up, but belonged to other tribes. In any event, "treaties" came to be seen as not worth the parchments they were written on.
And they still aren't.
