The National Strategy for pandemic influenza

In 2005, the co-author of the egregious PATRIOT act - Michael Chertoff - became the new secretary of the Deparment of Homeland Security. This was a time, marred with seriously questionable behaviour out of the department, especially - but not exclusively - because he aggressively pushed for body scanners in airports via the TSA - and upon leaving said, he went to head the Chertoff group which had a direct financial interest in said body scanners. It was blatant corruption.

In his first year with the Department of Homeland Security, they released this document. The ‘National Strategy for pandemic influenza‘. As with many of these documents, it’s now gone but you can still locate it on Wayback.

In short, the proposal is built upon ‘three pillars’.

Preparedness and Communication, Surveillance and Detection, and Response and Containment. It concludes with a section on ‘Roles and Responsibilties’.

I’m sure you can guess where this is heading, and the answer is yes. There’s no question about it - this is One Health.

Pillar one - centralisation, exercise of pandemic plan, recruitment, dispatches of medical staff. Clear communication. All One Health.

This is particularly obvious in this section as these are three of the four agencies related to One Health.

'Work through multilateral health organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO), Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), World Organization for Animal Health (OIE)'

It continues - vaccine stockpiles, capacity, public subsidy of big pharma, push for seasonal flu shots.

Check, check, check, and check. All One Health. Every single, and every last one of those.

Pillar Two - Surveillance & detection, real-time, diagnostics, animals & humans. Contact tracing, within and outside borders.

Check, check, check, check, check&check, check and check. All One Health

Pillar Three - Global steering, full vertical integration, infection control and containment, social distancing, limitations on gatherings, quarantines, even.

Emphasise role of the individual.

All check. All One Health.

'Determine the spectrum of infrastructure-sustainment activities that the U.S. military and other government entities may be able to support... and develop mechanisms to activate them' Ie, leave surveillance investments in place, perchance?

How will they perform real-time surveillance (pillar two), unless the infrastructure is kept running?

In the ‘Roles and Responsibilities’ we find the following -

'None of us are safe...', and so forth. Ensure funding, and exercises.

Check, check, check.

And skipping past the penultimate page, the final page is this - ‘International Partners’.

This IS the One Health draft. And it was penned in 2005.

Eventually the above document evolved - it became far more aggressive as we’ll see in another article, culminating in the below, which was the negotiated text during the international One Health 2008 meeting. This particular document is that bad, I will cover it seperately, because there are still a few things left to build up in that regard.

I will add a quick sample of the many, many, many issues I found in said document. There is simply no way a public servant could have negotiated this in good faith, unless his shoesize matched his IQ.
