After coming back to this and reading it again, this thought: your prescription at the end is apt. Recently the Public Order Emergency Commission (predictably?) found the government's invocation of the Emergency Measures Act was justified. If I thought our hope was in government or the courts, this would be a time to despair. Canada is notably and measurably declining at a precipitous rate. But since I know our hope is in the one who rules over governments, and who tells us "Do not put your trust in princes", I don't despair. At the same time, as you rightly point out, we should be prepared to both pray *and* act.

Excellent, Doug, and a helpful reminder to those of us who psyches wander too frequently false hope or despair.

I just discovered your substack and am thankful of it. Your writing is rich, and I will have to read this one again and savor it.

Dr. Farrow, I had to reread your <i>Emerging Nowa Huta</i> article to get back into context for this article. In doing so I was intrigued that what you wrote in 2021 was essentially the same explanation of the lockdowns and jab-job hostage-taking presented in the Big Reset Movie on the Rumble platform last week.

Now with this article, I am intrigued by your mention of medicine being the intersecting point or forum where so many interests are finding common ground, for I earlier read today another article that refers to the "One Health" masterplan in a WHO "zero draft" agreement with the bland title <i>WHO convention, agreement or other international instrument on pandemic prevention, preparedness and response (“WHO CA+”)</i>. I downloaded the draft agreement and I recommend jumping to its paragraph 3 of Article 18. If that agreement is adopted, it would effectively give the WHO, or those to control the WHO, authority to dictate how signatory parties respond to climate changes, land uses and so forth, all in the name of health. One Health would also nicely sweep any distinction between public health and individual health, let alone animal health and climate health under the rug. It would also be a cunning tool for justifying and instituting digital IDs internationally, for no one can argue against health.

Article 18 Paragraph 3

The Parties will identify and integrate into relevant pandemic prevention and

preparedness plans interventions that address the drivers of the emergence

and re-emergence of disease at the human-animal-environment interface,

including but not limited to climate change, land use change, wildlife trade,

desertification and antimicrobial resistance.
