Take a look at House Resolution 666 from the 116th CONGRESS

Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives on the ratification of the United Nations Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights.

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES October 30, 2019

Ms. Ocasio-Cortez (for herself, Ms. Meng, Ms. Tlaib, Mrs. Napolitano, Mr. García of Illinois, and Ms. Lee of California) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs

RESOLUTION

Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives on the ratification of the United Nations Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights.

Whereas the United States is, by many accounts, one of the world’s wealthiest countries;

Whereas the United States is also a land of stark inequality;

Whereas in 2017, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights found that among nations in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, the United States “ranked 35th out of 37 in terms of poverty and inequality”;

Whereas the United Nations Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights also found that 40 million people in the United States live in poverty, the United States ranks 36th in the world “in terms of access to water and sanitation,” and Americans can expect to “live shorter and sicker lives compared to people living in any other rich democracy”;

Whereas poverty and inequality are not inevitabilities;

Whereas poverty and inequality are choices made by people in power;

Whereas every American has the right to just working conditions, quality healthcare, an excellent education, healthy food, and safe housing;

Whereas the United States Government can and should be held accountable by Americans and the international community for ensuring these rights for all Americans; and

Whereas to guarantee this accountability, the United States must ratify the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights: Now, therefore, be it

Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Representatives that the Senate should give its advice and consent to the ratification of the United Nations Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights.

We will likely provide that explanation in the context of law and prophecy in some of our broadcasts and add the audio to those sections as it is available.

What they are doing is building a mechanism to TRACE or track Americans, quarantine them for whatever reason, where they see fit. A $100,000,000,000 for the fiscal year 2020 can bee a giant government machine and considering the public and private databases already in existence there will be little places to hide if things go awry.

That powerful tool could be used for some very bad things. They tell you why they are doing it in the text of the bill but they also state that the purposes include "related activities such as contact tracing, through mobile health units and, as necessary, at individuals’ residences," and then add "and for other purposes."

TRACE empowers the government to track Americans supposedly for "the greater good" but power corrupts.

The Nazis had two huge books where they could look up everyone in Germany and it would tell them who they had contact with, who their friends were etc. The books were used to trace those they wanted to arrest under the Sippenhaft (blood guilt) laws. Over 7,000 people were traced by the record of contacts and arrested for the crime of suspicion almost 5,000 were executed, many by strangulation.
