Thailand, the WHO, and "Treasured Sovereignty"?
Transcript of the above video:
Since the whole COVID event that lasted years and was just terrible in my opinion. It had a detrimental impact on Thailand's economy, it had a detrimental impact on people insofar as it impacted people's families, and the ability to see one another, the ability to interact with one another; it was bad by any metric and at best I think you can say it was an over-exaggeration. Let's just call it that. I don't want to get into the whole, "Is it good? Was it right? wrong? was it a hoax? Was it whatever?" To my mind okay, there was something that occurred. It did not warrant the response that we went through by any metric.
That being said, it's interesting, I found this on x.com over on formally Twitter over on The Vigilant Fox and apparently the Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. put this, this went up and Vigilant Fox is where I found it, but he made an announcement, quoting directly from vigilant Fox over on X. "HHS Secretary RFK Jr. announces a complete REJECTION of the World Health Organization's global health treaty and IHR amendments. The US will not surrender its sovereignty to an unelected body funded by Bill Gates." Quote, and this is quoting RFK: "The proposed amendments to the International Health regulations" - which, what is that? How do we have International Health Regulations? This should be handled at a national level. This International stuff is just getting ridiculous. I agree also over here and not to get too deep into this, but Thailand has said, "hey we're not involved with this International Court of Justice, where Cambodia is trying to drag that whole thing in with regard to this border dispute. What do they have to do with anything? The two Sovereign Nations can deal with it themselves. We don't need this supranational, pretty unaccountable group of people, telling us all what to do. That said, quoting further: "The proposed amendments to the International Health Regulations open the door to the kind of narrative management, propaganda, and censorship that we saw during the COVID pandemic. The United States can cooperate with other nations without jeopardizing our civil liberties, without undermining our Constitution, and without ceding away America's treasured sovereignty." Kennedy wrote on X.
I couldn't agree more, and I think Thailand could take a page from the US, could take a page from Secretary Kennedy on this issue. I think Thailand's treasured sovereignty which has been treated by Thailand for years and years. It's maintained its own independence and autonomy and sovereign status all through some of the most trying times you can imagine: through the colonialist era, through the Cold War, through the post-Cold War era up until even now, Thailand has maintained her sovereignty and I hope we continue to maintain our sovereignty and do not be subsumed by this World Health Organization nonsense because Thailand can handle her own public health issues. She can. We don't need outsiders intervening and we don't need them intervening in “propaganda and narrative” management. Thais can take care of themselves; it's good when Thailand takes care of itself. That's a proven thing throughout her history and frankly not to put too fine a point on it, but I'm hoping that Thailand does something similar and we preserve our treasured sovereignty here just like the United States has shown its willingness to do.
