One of the people concerned is former Representative and 2012 presidential candidate Michele Bachmann (R-Minnesota). She has for years now been sounding the alarm on entities such as World Health Organization (WHO) to get countries to agree to an international pandemic policy and what that would do to national sovereignty.
During a panel discussion at this year's Pray Vote Stand Summit in Washington, D.C., Bachmann said people need to wake up and pay attention.
“There is no one who won't be impacted by a move toward global governance. As everyone knows our Constitution guarantees to every American citizen a republican form of government. That isn't the Republican Party. That's a representative form of government.”
Don't think it can't happen
Bachmann said all that would go away with a global government.
“What I saw with the World Health Organization early on is they were codifying, or attempting to codify, creating a 'perch' -- a place for global governance to emerge. This is something that has been a fever dream of the United Nations since 1945 when they were created. They just wanted to be a global government, but it's something that most people have poo-pooed and said, 'it'll never happen.'
"Now, they're really serious about it, and I saw it coming to effect. As a believer, I know what the Bible says about the end times -- and in the end times there will be a global government."
In late September, the United Nations adopted what it calls a ground-breaking Pact for the Future to "transform global governance."
"The Pact for the Future, the Global Digital Compact, and the Declaration on Future Generations open the door to new opportunities and untapped possibilities," said U.N. Sec. Gen. António Guterres during his remarks at the opening of the Summit of the Future. The President of the General Assembly noted that the Pact would "lay the foundations for a sustainable, just, and peaceful global order – for all peoples and nations."
In May, efforts by the WHO to come up with a plan for how countries might respond to the next pandemic failed. Meanwhile, news outlets such as Associated Press have published fact checks saying the WHO 'pandemic treaty' does not sign over U.S. sovereignty, but organization such as Sovereignty Coalition say it's true.
