From LifeSiteNews

Several nations, including the United States, have proposed a Resolution, the effect of which would be that the WHO will continue to negotiate the proposed Amendments to the IHR throughout this week, to be voted upon by the end of the week.

Negotiations to finalize both the proposed Amendments to the International Health Regulations and the new Pandemic Treaty stalled on Friday May 24, leading many to claim that the treaty was “dead.”  However, the Director General of the World Health Organization, Dr. Tedros Ghebreyesus,  immediately stated that the negotiations would continue.

press release from the WHO makes clear that it wants to finalize the Amendments to the International Health Regulations by June 1.

Reggie Littlejohn, Co-Founder of the Sovereignty Coalition and President of Anti-Globalist International, traveled to Geneva for the World Health Assembly. She stated:

Negotiating Amendments to the International Health Regulations during the meeting of the World Health Assembly, to be disclosed the day of the vote on those amendments, is a flagrant violation of IHR Article 55, which requires that all proposed amendments be circulated in their final form four months in advance of a vote.  The intent of Article 55 is to give national governments and civil society time to review the proposed changes and analyze their impact. The fact that the World Health Organization is willing to violate its own laws and regulations so flagrantly indicates their disdain for the rule of law. If they are willing to toss even their own procedural safeguards out the window, why should we expect them to honor the laws of our nation?

Littlejohn continued: “Beyond this, we have no idea what they are planning to add to the IHRs, as they are negotiating them this week in a black box. Will they try to inject problematic provisions of the Pandemic Treaty – provisions that could damage our national sovereignty and personal medical freedom – into the IHRs, so that they can get them passed by consent rather than putting them to the rigorous 2/3 majority vote required by a treaty? We must do everything we can to stop this vote on Friday!”

Wales Becomes First UK Testbed for Citywide AI-Powered Facial Recognition Surveillance

Published on

Wales is that part of the UK the authorities have picked as the testbed for the first citywide deployment of what some consider to currently be the most radical form of mass biometric surveillance in public places – “AI”-powered live facial recognition.
What is likely to be the reason behind the “trial,” privacy campaigners are warning, is the eventual permanent deployment of this type of biometric surveillance throughout the country.
South Wales Police said that Cardiff will be covered by a network of CCTV cameras with facial recognition tech embedded in them, while the excuse is providing security during the international Six Nations rugby event. But the police also characterized the move as “semi-permanent.”
This appears to be a distinction between what the police in the UK have used thus far to carry out surveillance based on live facial recognition: vans with one camera.
The decision to move to position a host of cameras in the central zone of Cardiff makes this a significant expansion of the technique.
And while the police are reassuring citizens that expanding live facial recognition “really enhances” law enforcement’s ability to do their job –  the Big Brother Watch privacy group slammed the move as a “shocking” development and the creation of an “Orwellian biometric surveillance zone.”
And while capturing everyone’s biometric data, and in that way, according to Big Brother Watch’s Senior Advocacy Officer Madeleine Stone, turning Brits into “walking barcodes” and “a nation of suspects” – in terms of solving crime, this is proving to be a waste of public money.
“This network of facial recognition cameras will make it impossible for Cardiff residents and visitors to opt out of a biometric police identity check,” Stone underlined.
And yet, over the three years that live facial recognition has been in use at sporting venues (only) – the use of the technology has not led to any arrests.
“No other democracy in the world spies on its population with live facial recognition in this cavalier and chilling way,” Stone warned, adding, “South Wales Police must immediately stop this dystopian trial.”
The technology works by capturing the faces of every person passing through an area covered, in real time, to then compare them to a database of those described in reports as “wanted criminals.”
However, when South Wales Police spoke about who is on their “watchlist,” it also included people “banned from the area” and those “who pose a risk to the public.”

PepsiCo joins growing list of companies tweaking DEI policies

Published on

MXM logo MxM News

Quick Hit:

PepsiCo is the latest major U.S. company to adjust its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies as 47th President Donald Trump continues his campaign to end DEI practices across the federal government and private sector. The company is shifting away from workforce representation goals and repurposing its DEI leadership, signaling a broader trend among American corporations.

Key Details:

  • PepsiCo will end DEI workforce representation goals and transition its chief DEI officer to focus on associate engagement and leadership development.

  • The company is introducing a new “Inclusion for Growth” strategy as its five-year DEI plan concludes.

  • PepsiCo joins other corporations, including Target and Alphabet-owned Google, in reconsidering DEI policies following Trump’s call to end “illegal DEI discrimination and preferences.”

Diving Deeper:

PepsiCo has announced significant changes to its DEI initiatives, aligning with a growing movement among U.S. companies to revisit diversity policies amid political pressure. According to an internal memo, the snacks and beverages giant will no longer pursue DEI workforce representation goals. Instead, its chief DEI officer will transition to a broader role that focuses on associate engagement and leadership development. This shift is part of PepsiCo’s new “Inclusion for Growth” strategy, set to replace its expiring five-year DEI plan.

The company’s decision to reevaluate its DEI policies comes as President Donald Trump continues his push against DEI practices, urging private companies to eliminate what he calls “illegal DEI discrimination and preferences.” Trump has also directed federal agencies to terminate DEI programs and has warned that academic institutions could face federal funding cuts if they continue with such policies.

PepsiCo is not alone in its reassessment. Other major corporations, including Target and Google, have also modified or are considering changes to their DEI programs. This trend reflects a broader corporate response to the evolving political landscape surrounding DEI initiatives.

Additionally, PepsiCo is expanding its supplier base by broadening opportunities for all small businesses to participate, regardless of demographic categories. The company will also discontinue participation in single demographic category surveys, further signaling its shift in approach to DEI.

As companies like PepsiCo navigate these changes, the debate over the future of DEI in corporate America continues. With Trump leading a campaign against these practices, more companies may follow suit in reevaluating their DEI strategies.
