(I’ve been updating the list of legal issues for further research a bit, to add in US Code citations for some of the laws in case readers want to research any of those issues.)

The Global Health Security and International Pandemic Prevention, Preparedness and Response Act was formerly known as the Global Health Security Act.

The Global Health Security Act was first introduced during the 115th Congress, on Dec. 13, 2018.

The 117th Congress enacted it — under its new name — as part of the NDAA for FY2023, President Biden signed it, and it became law Dec. 23, 2022.

The Global Health Security and International Pandemic Prevention, Preparedness and Response Act was codified at 22 USC 2151b, as a statutory note.

I ran across ‘statutory notes’ as a category of law last summer — Richard J. McKinney, Assistant Law Librarian for the Board of Governors for the Federal Reserve Board, reported at a May 26, 2011

meeting:

In statutory research it is common to find that a provision of Federal law has been placed in the note area following a related section of the United States Code. The question then arises as to whether the provision in the note has as much authority as a section in the body of the U.S. Code and, if so, why the codifiers did not give the provision its own section or perhaps add it to the related section.
The authority of statutes placed in a note area, although sometimes questioned, cannot be doubted — they do indeed have the same authority as statutes placed as U.S. Code sections. It may be more difficult to locate and distinguish these statutes from other matters in the note area or to cite to them, but it follows logically that if a U.S. statute is valid then it does not matter where it is placed in the Code…

22 USC 2151b is a section of the US Code under Title 22, Foreign Relations and Intercourse.

22 USC 2151b, Population planning and health programs, was enacted by Congress and President on Dec. 17, 1973 (PL 93-189, 87 Stat. 714), as an addition to the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961.

After about a dozen amendments¹, 22 USC 2151b now includes the provisions below and more, authorizing and funding global depopulation programs as US geopolitical policy.

To get the true sense of this law, and the programs it authorizes, it’s important to translate as you read to replace the ostensible reasons — for example “vaccines for immunizations” to reduce “incidence of communicable diseases among children, mothers, and infants,” reduce “childhood mortality” and increase “child survival” with the actual reasons: injection of sterilizing agents to reduce present fertility and lifespans among mothers and fathers, and future fertility among children and infants.

“Protection” should be translated as “sterilization” or “destruction.”

It’s also important to understand that the use of the term “voluntary” is deceptive, and legally irrelevant. The sterilize-and-kill programs are housed under the US State Department, US Agency for International Development (US-AID) and the Foreign Assistance program.

Message to countries: no sterilizing injection of your men, women and children, no public or private aid money.

22 USC 2151b(a) Congressional declaration of policy. The Congress recognizes that poor health conditions and uncontrolled population growth can vitiate otherwise successful development efforts. Large families in developing countries are the result of complex social and economic factors which change relatively slowly among the poor majority least affected by economic progress, as well as the result of a lack of effective birth control. Therefore, effective family planning depends upon economic and social change as well as the delivery of services and is often a matter of political and religious sensitivity. While every country has the right to determine its own policies with respect to population growth, voluntary population planning programs can make a substantial contribution to economic development, higher living standards, and improved health and nutrition. Good health conditions are a principal element in improved quality of life and contribute to the individual’s capacity to participate in the development process, while poor health and debilitating disease can limit productivity.
22 USC 2151b(b) Assistance for voluntary population planning. In order to increase the opportunities and motivation for family planning and to reduce the rate of population growth, the President is authorized to furnish assistance, on such terms and conditions as he may determine, for voluntary population planning. In addition to the provision of family planning information and services, including also information and services which relate to and support natural family planning methods, and the conduct of directly relevant demographic research, population planning programs shall emphasize motivation for small families.
22 USC 2151b(c) Assistance for health programs; special health needs of children and mothers; Child Survival Fund; promotion of immunization and oral rehydration; control of AIDS and tuberculosis…
22 USC 2151b(c)(2)(A) In carrying out the purposes of this subsection, the President shall promote, encourage, and undertake activities designed to deal directly with the special health needs of children and mothers. Such activities should utilize simple, available technologies which can significantly reduce childhood mortality, such as improved and expanded immunization programs, oral rehydration to combat diarrhoeal diseases, and education programs aimed at improving nutrition and sanitation and at promoting child spacing...
22 USC 2151b(c)(3)…The promotion of vaccines for immunization…is an essential feature of the health assistance program. To this end, the Congress expects the agency primarily responsible for administering subchapter I of this chapter to set as a goal the protection of not less than 80 percent of all children, in those countries in which such agency has established development programs, from immunizable diseases by January 1, 1991…

The “Notes” section of 22 USC 2151b is where the lengthy Global Health Security and International Pandemic Preparedness and Response Act entered US law after Congress passed it in December 2022.

Readers who want to read it, go to the 22 USC 2151b page, click on the blue “Notes” tab, and scroll down.

Congress enacted this law to comply — as it has in so many other instances in recent decades — with the dictates of the United Nations World Health Organization under the already-binding terms of the International Health Regulations, 2005:

See, for example, the definitions section:

….(2) The terms ‘Global Health Security Agenda’ and ‘GHSA’ mean the multi-sectoral initiative launched in 2014, and renewed in 2018, that brings together countries, regions, international organizations, nongovernmental organizations, and the private sector—
(A) to elevate global health security as a national-level priority;
(B) to share best practices; and
(C) to facilitate national capacity to comply with and adhere to—
(i) the International Health Regulations (2005);
(ii) the international standards and guidelines established by the World Organisation for Animal Health;
(iii) United Nations Security Council Resolution 1540 (2004);
(iv) the Convention on the Prohibition of the Development, Production and Stockpiling of Bacteriological and Toxin Weapons and on their Destruction, done at Washington, London, and Moscow, April 10, 1972 (commonly referred to as the ‘Biological Weapons Convention’);
(v) the Global Health Security Agenda 2024 Framework; and
(vi) other relevant frameworks that contribute to global health security.
(3) The term ‘Global Health Security Index’ means the comprehensive assessment and benchmarking of health security and related capabilities across the countries that make up the States Parties to the International Health Regulations (2005).
(4) The term ‘Global Health Security Initiative’ means the informal network of countries and organizations that came together in 2001, to undertake concerted global action to strengthen public health preparedness and response to chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear threats, including pandemic influenza.
(5) The term ‘IHR (2005) Monitoring and Evaluation Framework’ means the framework through which the World Health Organization and the State Parties to the International Health Regulations, as amended in 2005, review, measure, and assess core country public health capacities and ensure mutual accountability for global health security under the International Health Regulations (2005), including through the Joint External Evaluations, simulation exercises, and after-action reviews.

Top three program goals listed under Global Health Security and International Pandemic Prevention, Preparedness and Response Act at Section 5561, Enhancing the US’ International Response to Pandemics, (a) Leveraging United States Bilateral Global Health Programs for International Pandemic Response:

(1) strengthening vaccine readiness
(2) reducing vaccine hesitancy
(3) delivering and administering vaccines

A working model to shape forthcoming legal reporting on the dual-purpose kill-and-enslave campaign. - “…As currently set up, laws and courts are useless tools in and of themselves, at least in the hands of the global human peasantry, for purposes of protecting our lives and liberties and holding criminals accountable. The criminals wrote the laws decades ago, to render their acts — no matter how heinous or incomprehensible to ordinary people — as fully lawful… I’m focusing on digging in this specific vein — uncovering and explicating the legal frameworks set up at judicial, executive, legislative and administrative levels between the 1944 Public Health Service Act and the present to confuse, frighten, kill and enslave human beings — because I think it’s an important piece to understand two key things: (1) Why civil and criminal lawsuits haven’t gained any traction over the past two years and won’t be any more fruitful in the coming years; and (2) Which specific laws are reinforcing the enslavement and killing programs, and therefore must be deliberately, consciously, openly broken and exposed as inherently illegitimate, and then repealed and stripped of power, by Human Life and Liberty fighters, much as the African-American and white civil rights protestors broke segregation laws. The laws are unjust, derived from false premises. People who care about justice and truth cannot in good faith obey or uphold unjust laws, or be complicit in lies. In the meantime, two small ways to inoculate yourself against the mind-level acts of war: Whenever you read or hear the Master-Class phrase ‘public health,’ translate it for yourself, in your own mind, as ‘chemical and biological genocide.’ And whenever you read or hear the Master-Class phrase ‘conspiracy theory,’ translate it for yourself, in your own mind, as ‘observed reality, critically assessed.’ ”
