Legislation introduced in the Louisiana State Legislature would ban the implementation of any policies or edicts by the United Nations (UN), World Health Organization (WHO), and World Economic Forum (WEF) in the Pelican State.
Senate Bill No. 133 (S.B. 133), introduced in the state Senate in March, is authored by Senators Thomas Pressly (R-Shreveport) and Valarie Hodges (R-Denham Springs), as well as Representative Kathy Edmonston (R-Ascension).
If enacted, S.B. 133 would prohibit any policies or mandates from the UN, WHO, or WEF from being enforced in Louisiana. The bill declares:
The World Health Organization, United Nations, and the World Economic Forum shall have no jurisdiction or power within the state of Louisiana. No rule, regulation, fee, tax, policy, or mandate of any kind of the World Health Organization, United Nations, and the World Economic Forum shall be enforced or implemented by the state of Louisiana or any agency, department, board, commission, political subdivision, governmental entity of the state, parish, municipality, or any other political entity.
On March 26, the Senate unanimously passed S.B. 133, sending it to the state House of Representatives for consideration. As of this writing, the bill is pending in the House and Governmental Affairs Committee.
S.B. 133 currently lacks robust enforcement mechanisms and more-specific language and bill definitions. Adding these would greatly strengthen the bill and its ability to be enforced. Nonetheless, S.B. 133 would be a great first step toward pushing back against the UN and related globalist organizations.
Globalist Schemes
S.B. 133’s introduction comes as the UN, WHO, and WEF accelerate their promotion of policies and initiatives antithetical to the American form of government.
For example, the UN’s Agenda 21/2030 plan seeks total control and regimentation of the entire planet, and prominent examples of its implementation include the global war on farmers, carbon-capture pipelines, and the transition toward “green” energy. The global body’s upcoming “Summit of the Future” will also advocate more power for the UN.
Also, the WHO is planning a major power grab to allow it to impose draconian restrictions, such as vaccine passports and other “health” measures, at a global level. This comes in the form of a proposed global “pandemic treaty” and in possible amendments to the International Health Regulations (IHR). In addition to advancing medical tyranny, these changes would empower international bureaucracy at the expense of American sovereignty.
S.B. 133 would add an additional barrier preventing these schemes from being enforced in Louisiana.
Constitutional Enforcement
S.B. 133 is firmly grounded in the text of the U.S. Constitution. Specifically, Article VI binds state legislators — along with members of Congress and judges — to their oath to support the Constitution.
Article VI also states, “This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof … shall be the supreme Law of the Land.” (Emphasis added.) State legislators are required to uphold and implement only those laws that are “made in Pursuance” to the Constitution. Therefore, any laws not “made in Pursuance thereof” are not the supreme Law of the Land and, as such, state legislators are under no obligation to enforce or carry out their provisions. Instead, they should interpose, or nullify, such laws within the boundaries of their state.
This stipulation also applies to the treaty-making power. Treaties — including U.S. membership in the UN and WHO — must also be subject to, and bound by, the limitations of the Constitution.
In a letter dated September 7, 1803, then-President Thomas Jefferson wrote, “I say the same as to the opinion of those who consider the grant of the treaty making power as boundless. If it is, then we have no Constitution.” This principle was further affirmed by the U.S. Supreme Court in Reid v. Covert (1957).
By enacting S.B. 133, the Louisiana State Legislature would take significant steps toward both enforcing the U.S. Constitution and pushing back against international organizations seeking to undermine it. State legislators would be wise to do just that.
