U.S. Funds World Health Organization That Boot-Licks China, With Deadly Results
The Federalist ^ | 3-17-20 | Tim Andrews

Posted on 03/18/2020 5:01:46 PM PDT by DeweyCA

China’s near-total takeover of the World Health Organization comes at a sharp human cost, as the world is tragically now realizing.

The coronavirus (COVID-19) has spread throughout the world, having infected more than 100,000 people and causing the deaths of more than 4,000. Officials in charge of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and the World Health Organization (WHO) have rightly received plenty of criticism about how they’ve managed the outbreak, with nearly half a million people calling on WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus to resign.

The reason for the WHO’s failure to properly act to contain the outbreak, and its repeated issuing of inaccurate and bad advice, is not merely the result of incompetence. Rather, the malfeasance is the direct result of the CCP deliberately buying out WHO’s leadership, with tragic consequences.

Experts have pinned the virus as starting possibly as early as October, months before the CCP alerted the world about the risks posed by the deadly disease. Rather than addressing the issue, China arrested journalists and doctors who tried to sound the alarm. In addition, the “People’s Republic” blocked information on social media and removed all news stories that attempted to report accurate infection numbers. The end result of this was preventable suffering, as countries were unable to take the urgent action needed to respond.

Yet through all the CCP’s obfuscation and ensigning preventable deaths, the WHO consistently praised the CCP for its “transparency” and “leadership,” saying its actions were “making us safer.” To the incredulity of health professionals around the world when finally alerted to the seriousness of the threat in January, the WHO refused to declare it a public health emergency. It took until February 10 for the WHO to even send an advance party to China.

At the same time WHO representatives gushed in praise of the regime’s response, noting the “Chinese people feel protected.” The WHO continues to lavishly praise China as they continued to downplay the threat of the coronavirus, taking months to classify it finally as a pandemic because that “might spook the world further.”

U.S. Funding Organization That Obeys Red China Scientists and patients are rightly demanding answers as to why the WHO coddles dictators instead of holding them accountable and acknowledging the seriousness of the threat. The United States is the largest contributor to the WHO’s budget, in 2017 sending the agency half a billion dollars.

Unfortunately, few are willing to accept the cynical truth that the WHO has let funding priorities and the personal ambitions of its leadership get in the way of sound public policy. As with so many things, an understanding can be found by following the money.

China worked “tirelessly behind the scenes” in lobbing to ensure the election of Tedros, who previously served in the government of the Marxist and violently repressive Ethiopian People’s Revolutionary Democratic Front. This gruesome movement was responsible for gross human right abuses, such as torture, repression, and electoral fraud. During his tenure as health minister, Tedros was most known to have covered up three cholera outbreaks.

So why did China push so hard for Tedros? The ex-revolutionary’s tenure is merely part of a broader CCP strategy to take over international organizations to “reshape the international system to accommodate its political and economic interests…In service of this strategy, [China] has consistently sought to trade financial incentives for votes, offering bribes and cancelling debt for countries that support them.”

As noted by Assistant to the U.S. President Peter Navarro, the CCP has a “broad strategy to gain control over the 15 specialized agencies of the UN. China already leads four of the UN specialized agencies while no other country leads more than one.” Last week the CCP lost a bid to head the World Intellectual Property Organization, a particularly brazen attempt given China’s position at the forefront of intellectual property theft.

Tedros was the perfect puppet for China, because his Ethiopian People’s Revolutionary Democratic Front was already a patsy for the CCP. Addis Ababa is known as “the city that China built,” with the CCP funding the construction of everything from the metro system to highways and skyscrapers throughout the city, as well as the $200 million headquarters of the African Union.

This degree of Chinese ownership extends throughout the country. When the Ethiopia-Djibouti railway was built, the Export-Import Bank of China backed the project with $3.3 billion in loans, and 400 Chinese investment projects valued at more than $4 billion are already in full operation in the country.

Tedros’s Real Patron: China Once ushered in as director-general, Tedros quickly repaid China’s support. The first day after his election he expressed support for the Chinese Communist Party’s claim over Taiwan. Not long after, he appointed brutal dictator Robert Mugabe, a China ally, as a “goodwill ambassador” in a move described by diplomats as an obvious “payoff.” This support was quickly reciprocated. China decided to fund a new $80 million World Health Organization “Center for Disease Control” in … Ethiopia.

China has even boasted about its almost-takeover of the WHO. In 2017 alone it signed an agreement with the WHO for its “One Belt, One Road” initiative, co-chaired the China-Africa Health Ministers Conference, and hosted the Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation during which the CCP pledged $8.8 billion to developing countries “to improve people’s well-being worldwide.”

The CCP’s near-total takeover of the WHO comes at a sharp human cost, as the world is tragically now realizing. But despite China buying off most WHO officials, the core and plurality of its funding comes from U.S. taxpayers. It’s time for the United States to urgently demand WHO reform before more lives are lost.

The UN constantly seems to be run by corrupt elitists who are primarily just out for themselves.

one of the necessary outcomes from the Chinese virus will be the replacement of the globalist, anti-American Ethiopian that runs the corrupt WHO with an American (Fauci).

I thought Trump wanted us out of the UN, yet we still piss away money on it. Kind of like public broadcasting and Planned Parenthood. They never go away no matter how many times politicians say they want to get rid of them.

WHO was a complete waste of time and helped China conceal its problems.

Actually, all the international organizations have been worthless. What has the famed EU done to help any of its struggling members? Nothing. What has the UN done? Nothing.

Tim Andrews! Captain Obviouso !

Read it and weep Tim, its all about China’s bio-warfare espionage conducted world wide, including the WHO :

Very through and organized. Lengthy and organized historically. Its just the way of India’s academic approach to some issues in journalism.It is updated as more facts come to light. Their premise at first seems far fetched, but the array of facts just keeps slowly accumulating

Their outline:

Contents

1 South China Seafood Market: the controversial “source of epidemic”
1.1 The Internal Circular
1.2 Destroying the “Crime Scene”
1.3 China CDC’s Statements
1.4 The explosive Lancet Papers
1.5 Diagnostic Criteria
2 Virological Evidence: Gene Variation in Wuhan New Coronavirus COVID-19
2.1 E Protein
2.2 The Zhoushan virus
2.3 S Protein
2.4 Molecular Evolution Clock & Recent Common Ancestors
3 Shi Zhengli: Mystery of cross-species Coronavirus infection
3.1 Special relationship between S protein and ACE2 receptor
3.2 Key to Coronavirus Cross-Species Infection
3.3 Academic Controversy
3.4 New horseshoe bat virus RaTG13
4 Pangolin Mystery: the sudden “intermediate host”
4.1 The Special Pangolins
4.2 Do Pangolin Coronavirus infect Humans?
5 Wuhan Institute of Virology: the epicenter of Coronavirus outbreak
5.1 The Sino-French Collaboration
5.2 China’s Secret Biological Weapons Program
6 GreatGameIndia investigation on Coronavirus Bioweapon
6.1 White House Coronavirus Task Force
6.2 Coronavirus Bioweapon
6.3 Assassination of Frank Plummer
7 GreatGameIndia Coronavirus Coverage

https://greatgameindia.com/covid19-files-scientific-investigation-on-mysterious-origin-of-coronavirus/

Red C hina has advanced a huge attack on think tank Great Game India’s credibility , saying their facts are debunked. I see nothing that has been actually debunked in their reporting. You have to remember that Indian journalists have been working to expose Red Chinese subterfuge for a very long time, since about 1949.This is not their first “rodeo,” given Chinese pressure on the Sino-Indian border and the propaganda Red China has published over the years to justify Red China’s expansionist agenda, resulting in border conflicts in the Sikkim area, for example, and other border conflicts involving India’s military and Red China’s support military support of Pakistan.

So I am reading what Great Game India has written about the COVID-19 issue with an open mind. It bears watching.There is a lot going on between our country and China behind the scenes.China refuses to allow US medical teams to visit Wuhan, despite repeated attempts. I suspect that President Trump knows the truth of the matter. He certainly is acting that way on several fronts.

The Red Chinese pown the WHO as a part of their world wide bio-warfare initiative.

Of course we fund the WHO. Just as we provide the lion's share of the UN budget. And just about every other world organization. Just imagine if we cut off all that aid....

My second ex-wife worked for the Pan American Health Organization - PAHO - which is the arm of the WHO that covers the Americas. I never saw anyone who actually ‘worked’ there... but they threw one helluva Christmas party every year.

Fauci? What an utter, contemptible, Never-Trump moron. You know, he;s only the first name you think of because he’s always carpet-bombing the Trump administration to get himself on the news stations.

My pet theory is that a China Communist Party dissident group managed to release the virus.

Xi has enemies within.

The Swamp is winning and I love Trump but the President is not necessarily a Conservative in the pure sense.

The root problem: liberals mistaking looking good for doing good. So they hector and nag people about using Wuhan flu ... feeling good about doing so and thinking this somehow helps the ill and quarantined.

The reason liberal 'elites' kow-tow to China is China pays them off in a variety of ways. Democrat ' elites' might think they're being 'citizens of the world' but they're traitors on the take...
