World Events are Pushing Mankind Toward a Confrontation with the Shadow

Brett Weinstein says the WHO wants the power to force genome edits or immune-system updates through a binding document.

1. The Wisdom Tradition | a philosophy podcast centers this episode on the WHO World Health Organization Pandemic Preparedness Treaty and what Alex Sacking says it could do to national sovereignty. 2. Alex Sacking hosts the episode and frames it as a less organized update tied to his podcast, his work, and his Substack. 3. The episode asks whether the WHO treaty is a mechanism for a global confrontation with what he calls “the shadow.” 4. He says the treaty could let the WHO coordinate future pandemic responses at an international level and require member states to follow its policies. 5. He argues that such a framework could extend to vaccine mandates and even coercive enforcement. 6. He cites Dennis Rancourt by name and says Rancourt’s paper and presentation claim 17 to 20 million deaths from the COVID shot. 7. He says Rancourt’s research showed no increase in all-cause mortality before the shots were released. 8. He says COVID symptoms such as loss of taste and illness can be explained by other causes and that tests were not actually measuring a virus. 9. He mentions 5G as one possible cause of illness and contrasts that with Chinese medicine and “metaphysical” cycles of epidemics. 10. He argues that deaths during the pandemic were driven by response measures such as lockdowns, remdesivir, and respiratory treatments. 11. He says the WHO treaty could take 2020-style mandates to a new level by putting them under international authority. 12. He frames the injections as “gene therapy” and says the treaty could mandate genome editing or immune-system updates. 13. Brett Weinstein appears in a clip and says the WHO wants the power to force information into the immune system through vaccines. 14. Weinstein says the WHO could borrow cells to produce materials they were not built to produce and could include gene editing. 15. Alex Sacking links the WHO treaty to a broader philosophical account of evil, Fudumayo, the “dweller on the threshold,” and a collective initiation. 16. He says the encounter with the shadow is tied to the U.S. deep state, the military-industrial complex, finance, corporations, and agriculture. 17. He says the episode is spoken in a reflective, essay-like monologue with interruptions from current-events commentary and a short inserted clip. 18. He says the tone moves between geopolitical analysis, religious symbolism, and speculative philosophy rather than a formal interview. 19. Listeners interested in WHO policy, geopolitics, and esoteric philosophy would likely stay engaged. 20. Listeners wanting a tightly focused, evidence-light policy briefing might skip it.

As heard by us

A dense, thesis-led sweep through power, religion, and philosophy, with an uneasy edge.

Alex Sacking moves from the WHO pandemic preparedness treaty into a wider critique of technocratic power, international coordination, and the chance that public-health policy can become a tool for compulsion.
