Janet Levy writes for the American Thinker about a dangerous new approach to public policy.

A new, Godless, quasi-religion—One Health—is being thrust upon the world. Its apostles say it will save humanity, or rather, life itself. Allied with Marxism in its denigration of the “exploitive nature of capitalism” as is demonstrated in the green movement, it debases humankind by equating us with, even putting us below, all other life forms. Its principal church is the World Health Organization (WHO), so President Donald Trump’s threat to withdraw from the WHO—or gain American control over it—must be seen in the light of this globalist agenda.

The WHO has been promoting One Health—the mutualism of humans, animals, plants, and other aspects of the natural environment—and aims to implement it through a proposed pandemic treaty and amendments to the International Health Regulations (IHR).

Once signed, the treaty and IHR amendments will be legally binding on the WHO’s 194 member nations. These nations will surrender their sovereignty over healthcare decisions and give the WHO unbridled power to accelerate the approval process for drugs and vaccines and end prohibitions against gain-of-function research. The treaty and IHR amendments will centralize power in the hands of the WHO, world leaders, NGOs, Big Pharma, and the globalist elite. Their pretext? Managing health emergencies, which they alone will have the power to declare.

Not only will these steps enslave humans and rob them of individual rights using the fear of pandemics or similar emergencies, but they also amount to a tectonic paradigm shift, a movement away from a human-centered worldview to one that puts nature and the ecosystem above everything else.

Man will no longer be the pinnacle of God’s creation, existing in nature and using his capacity for understanding and innovation to thrive, aspire to the best in science and the arts, and pursue meaning and beauty. By promoting moral equivalence between man and nature in all its forms, the new quasi-religion diminishes the meaning of human life and punishes humankind for cultivating the environment for his benefit.
