WHO is up to What?

16 Jun 2023 Editorial

The shocking power-grab of the World Health Organisation

New regulations

In the last week of May this year, plans for a new Pandemic Treaty (known as the WHO CA+) were on the table, which, among other things, would force Britain to spend five per cent of its health budget on preparing for another virus outbreak. Unless member states withdraw from this, the Pandemic Treaty will come into force six months from now.

Additionally, and perhaps even more importantly, proposed amendments are being made to the WHO’s International Health Regulations. A number of the 300 submitted IHR (2005) amendments provide a mandatory and legally-binding framework for the WHO to exercise monopoly power over aspects of global public health in times of actual and potential crisis.

If these amendments are subsequently approved, this power would be exercised by a few potent WHO primary donors who exert meaningful control over the organisation.

Recent WHO history

The World Health Organisation has an appalling recent track record when dealing with matters of, erm, world health. This, after all, was the body which egregiously terrified the world’s population and orchestrated a devastating response to a virus which was in general no worse than a bad flu. As such, it is questionable whether it should have been declared a ‘Public Health Emergency of International Concern’. However, this categorisation was necessary in order to roll out an unprecedented mass-vaccination programme, while giving the big pharma companies the get-out-of-jail card of Emergency Use Authorisation.

This, after all, was the body which egregiously terrified the world’s population and orchestrated a devastating response to a virus which was in general no worse than a bad flu.

The WHO initially told the public that face masks were ineffective and should not, in general, be worn – before doing a spectacular U-turn and endorsing the mandatory wearing of masks (in denial of the scientific evidence)! Other WHO-approved programmes, such as quarantines, social distancing, barred travel and access, have all since been discredited.

Corruption within the WHO appears to be endemic. Figures show that it routinely spends around $200 million per year on travel expenses – more than it spends to fight some of the biggest problems in public health, including AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria combined.

Further, the WHO’s predilection for Big Pharma is better understood in light of the fact that it is largely sustained by private donations, the bulk of which come from pharmaceutical and bio-tech cooperations (such as Pfizer, Gavi [The Vaccine Alliance] and Merck), all of whom have a vested financial interest in the WHO’s policies.

Dubious leadership

It gets worse. The WHO’s repeated issuing of inaccurate and bad advice is the result, not just of incompetence, but of the Communist Party of China deliberately buying out its leadership.

Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus is the first WHO Director General who isn’t a medical doctor. His appointment was highly controversial, given that in his previous role as Ethiopian Health Minister, he was accused of covering up three major health epidemics. Prior to this, he was a high-ranking member of the Tigray People’s Liberation Front – a brutal and corrupt political group responsible for crimes against humanity, including bombings, kidnappings, tortures and killings.

Despite his contentious past, it was while serving as Ethiopia’s Health Minister that Tedros became intimately intertwined with both the Gates Foundation and the Clinton Foundation. Tedros said he had known Bill & Melinda Gates “for many, many years”. Bill Clinton called Tedros “one of the ablest public servants I ever worked with”. With the backing of two of the most powerful Foundations on earth, and the full support of the CCP, his appointment as the head of the world’s most influential health organisation is perhaps not so surprising.

Controversy has continued to follow him. Tedros applauded China’s ‘commitment to transparency’ in regard to the Covid virus. Equally disturbingly, just a couple of weeks ago, the WHO elected North Korea to sit on its Executive Board, ignoring the totalitarian state’s horrendous human rights record – which includes starving its own people.

WHO among us (pun intended) can have any confidence in an institution as shady as this?

Treaty concerns

The nature and consequences of the above-mentioned Pandemic Treaty and IHR changes have raised considerable alarm amongst those who have taken the care to study them. The result is a recent UK petition which attracted over 150,000 signatures. As a response, the Westminster Parliament was obliged to convene a meeting of MPs on 17 April to debate and discuss these issues. Six Tory MPs have now written to the Foreign Office demanding it blocks any new powers which could see the WHO dictate policy and budgets in the UK.

Whilst the scope of the new Pandemic Treaty is ostensibly to provide the bureaucratic framework during emergencies, it requires a supportive vote in both Houses in Westminster. However, the IHR is existing law, and consequently, any amendments require a simple majority of the WHO’s Member States (97 from the 194).

Proposed amendments

The IHR proposed amendments are as follows:

  • Expand the definition of pandemic and health emergencies, including the introduction of the word “potential” for harm rather than “actual” harm: additionally, the definition of “health products” is expanded to include any commodity or process that may impact on the response or “improve the quality of life”.
  • Change the recommendations of the IHR from “non-binding” to “mandatory” those instructions that the Member States will be required to follow and implement.
  • Solidify the Director General’s ability to independently declare emergencies.
  • Establish an extensive surveillance process in all Member States which the WHO will verify regularly through a country review mechanism.
  • Enable the WHO to share country data without consent.
  • Give the WHO control over certain country resources, including requirements for financial contributions and provision of intellectual property (within the expanded definition of “health products”).
  • Ensure country support for promotion of censorship activities by the WHO to prevent alternative/dissenting approaches and concerns from being freely disseminated.

Change existing IHR provisions affecting individuals from non-binding to binding; including border closures, travel restrictions, confinement (read ‘quarantine’), medical examinations and medication (to include requirements for injection with vaccines or other pharmaceuticals).

Bigger picture

In essence, while the general population is distracted by headlines on the war in Ukraine, runaway immigration, Prince Harry’s antics and other issues, the WHO is the willing and complicit vehicle being used for a massive power grab which would see this unaccountable, unelected body and its billionaire funders and sociopaths, effectively set themselves up as a global government.

Apart from God, there would appear to be no credible means to escape from the dystopian future outlined – or more correctly, disguised – in Agenda 2030

And lest we think that the ‘pandemic’ problems of the last three years are behind us, at a meeting of the WHO in Geneva on 22 May, Tedros made it clear that the Covid-19 pandemic is far from over. Was he pre-conditioning us?

‘But God’

Along with artificial intelligence and transhumanism, we need to see the ‘big picture on the box’ in order to correctly identify and fit the respective pieces together. Apart from God, there would appear to be no credible means to escape from the dystopian future outlined – or more correctly, disguised – in Agenda 2030, created by that other spurious unelected body of ginormous proportions – the World Economic Forum.

Of course, and come what may, the ultimate hope is faith and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ. As citizens despair of what is overtaking our world, the opportunities for bringing light into the darkness increases enormously. Let us therefore make the most of the days in which we live to show forth God’s saving grace through the Saviour and His soon return.
