While the majority of Americans have undoubtedly grown weary of unelected global authorities wielding unchecked tyrannical power in the name of “health,” California Governor Gavin Newsom has just rolled out the red carpet for more of the same. In a move that would be laughable if it weren’t so brazenly dangerous, Newsom just announced that California has become the first state (not country, mind you, but state) to formally join the World Health Organization’s (WHO) international disease platform to coordinate international response to emerging public health threats known as the Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network, or GOARN. Newsom’s move isn’t diplomacy. Instead, it’s allegiance to a pre-scripted future that is far from any voter ballot box. And the implications are staggering.
The January 23rd press release from Newsom’s office could just as easily have come straight from WHO headquarters. After personally meeting with WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus in Geneva to finalize the deal, California sealed its role as a “subnational leader” in global health collaboration. As expected, notably absent was any mention of voter input, legislative debate, or accountability. Why? Because in Newsom’s California, sovereignty is not something he tends to consult his people about. Instead, he effortlessly trades it in Davos.
While the Trump administration formally withdrew the United States from the WHO in January 2026—finally ending 78 years of membership and substantial financial contribution—apparently, Newsom couldn’t wait to get to the front of the line. Why? Maybe because He has long aspired to be more than just a governor. Indeed, he wants a global portfolio, and what better way than to outsource California’s health autonomy to the very same shady group behind the lockdowns, massive censorship, mask mandates, and unprecedented compliance coercion of an experimental, untested gene-therapy “vaccine”? Make no mistake. None of these decisions were founded on protecting public health.
Despite pushback from nations like the United States, the WHO is working feverishly to finalize a new set of international health regulations and a pandemic accord that would give it sweeping control over the response to future crises. And not just during pandemics. Instead, these overlord rules would apply to anything it deems to be a “public health emergency.” Such as climate change, misinformation, disobedient states, and so on. Essentially, a choose-your-own-emergency standard of governance that, instead of resisting, Newsom is volunteering California to participate.
Again, at a time when countries like Hungary, Slovakia, and even members of the African Union are pushing back against WHO overreach, one of the most powerful states in our nation is diving headfirst into a globalist experiment with no democratic oversight. In no way is this leadership by Newsom. It is obedience in disguise.
And who exactly is orchestrating this dutiful allegiance? Undoubtedly, Newsom’s friend Sir Jeremy Farrar played a role. For years, Farrar and Newsom have often joined forces on significant issues that the WHO has used to support its dictatorship. Now the WHO’s Chief Scientist, Farrar, played a starring role during COVID in pushing the lockdown narrative while also downplaying lab-leak concerns and dissenting scientific voices. Following the pandemic, Farrar and his cadre moved on to warn of future pandemics. Undoubtedly, they’re not just preparing; they are also rehearsing.
