On Monday and Tuesday, the World Health Organization (WHO) held their 73rd Word Health Assembly (WHA) virtually and online, with the objective to discuss the Covid-19 virus. The WHO is represented by most countries in the world.
Although none of us are particularly fond of these huge UN based organizations, we as a world need co-ordination, especially for those issues that cross borders. I have yet to see a virus that cares for a border, so clearly, Covid-19 is a world wide phenomenon and issue. Mr Putin said some years ago that the whole of the UN needs restructuring, nevertheless, we still have the WHO and the WHA and the WTO and these bloated organizations are replete with bureaucracy and most probably operate as proverbial dens of thieves as well. Nevertheless, this is what we have.
This proceedings were off to a blistering political start. The US tried to break things as is usual if they could not get their way. There were two main streams to the ‘breaking things at all costs’ initiative. Pompeo focused on Taiwan and worked his fingers to the bone to besiege the WHO to allow Taiwan a status at the Assembly, and in this way put pressure on China’s one country, two systems policies. Australia was particularly voluble in pushing this objective and there was even an early letter from Switzerland, agitating for Taiwan. Secondly, Mr Trump, with all his sails fully raised, agitated against the WHO and accused them of favoring China. He so dearly wanted the WHO to say China did something wrong so that he could claw a victory from the defeat that Covid-19 handed him, and was fierce in his condemnation of the WHO.
And so, further politicizing took place, while Covid-19 clearly did not care and continued to cross borders at will.
Unfortunately for both the US and Australia, China did not care either about this politicization of a world wide health issue and said so.
Unfortunately for both Pompeo and Trump, most of the countries in the world did not care either, and the Assembly voted and made a note and deferred discussion of the issue to the next Assembly, or the next Assembly that can be held with delegates physically present.
The background to this meeting is that most everyone in the western sphere, specifically the alt media which is noticeable, followed the political line that the WHO most certainly did things wrong while the US and western countries tried their best to hide their own handling of Covid-19 behind accusations that it was actually the WHO who dropped the virus ball. The US has been using the WHO as part scapegoat to attempt to shift the blame and hide their own handling of the virus – it is of course always the other guy’s fault – and Mr Trump threatened to withhold US payments, take his toys and leave the WHO.
Unfortunately for the western countries, the Assembly as a whole did not care, and made it clear that they will not bow down to imperial diktat and yes investigations will take place, but at a later more opportune time.
This was not enough for Mr.Trump and on the first day, he sent a blistering letter to Director-General Tedros, (Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus), full of political threats and posturing, demanding a commitment to “major substantive improvements within the next 30 days” and of course, the WHO must use their WHA and immediately denounce China.
The following sequence of events can only be written off as funny in one sense. Unfortunately it also reveals a level of scary incompetence.
Unfortunately Trump quoted a report from the prestigious medical journal, The Lancet to base his threats that the Who is in Cahoots with China on, and his further threat to defund the WHO and withdraw from the organization if they do not immediately bow to his imperial diktat.
Unfortunately, the editor of the Lancet announced soon after that this report does not exist and was never published.
richard horton @richardhorton1
Dear President Trump – You cite The Lancet in your attack on WHO. Please let me correct the record. The Lancet did not publish any report in early December, 2019, about a virus spreading in Wuhan. The first reports we published were from Chinese scientists on Jan 24, 2020.
So, at this early stage of the proceedings there was egg on the face of Mr Trump, Australia’s begging on behalf of Taiwan was ignored and still Covid-19 really did not care.
It was interesting to listen to the delegate from The Ukraine, who thought unfortunately that this was the correct forum to blame Russia for the virus. The delegate said that Russia is not allowing the Ukraine to do some very needed and loving medical intervention in the breakaway Donbas Republics and all of that ‘goodwill and peace’ is being hampered by Russia. Unfortunately this delegate had the audio plug pulled on him because he overstayed his welcome by trying to use excess time for blowing passionate hatred for Russia.
And so, the proceedings eventually came to an end, with a draft joint resolution on identifying the zoonotic source of the coronavirus and evaluating the World Health Organization’s (WHO) Covid-19 response, which is common practice.
The Chinese immediately expressed this in terms of losers. The Three Losers (am I wrong in thinking that they meant to say The Three Stooges) are:
“In a complete and sharp contrast to China, which offered a series of proposals at the WHA meeting, including providing $2 billion over two years to help this battle, making China’s COVID-19 vaccines global public goods when available and working with G20 members, the US has become the biggest loser for being isolated and marginalized, reflecting its failure in global governance, some Chinese analysts said, noting that such incompetence was amplified after it failed to besiege China at the WHO.” The other two losers China called out to be Taiwan and Australia.
Despite all of these political actions which served only to draw current world battle lines more clearly, there was a good aspect that came through most of the presentations from the various delegates. Overwhelmingly they stated that their own response will be in this sequence: Solutions appropriate to the context of the country itself and focused on prevention, treatment protocols, therapeutics and vaccines, in some cases clearly with a hint of sarcasm stated – if there ever is one.
Is this a clear flicker of the movement away from Empire to independent and strong countries. It sure looks like it.
Update : The Lancet made a broader statement in the last few hours. This is their final paragraph :

Cartoons from the excellent cartoonists at ChinaDaily
As shown in this article, there is a very tangled web of money behind Moderna (the leading COVID-19 vaccine researcher) and Washington’s new vaccine czar Moncef Slaoui:
https://viableopposition.blogspot.com/2020/05/moderna-moncef-slaoui-and-its-funding.html
The complicated web of one of the world’s wealthiest philanthropic armchair virologist, pharmaceutical research and his links to the newly appointed “vaccine czar” Dr. Slaoui should cause us to ponder the rapid “Warp Speed” development of a vaccine dedicated to ending the COVID-19 pandemic.
I just watched this interview with Dr. Dolores Cahill of the University of Dublin.
It is mind-blowing.
Much of her info is science-related, some of her info is treatment-related, but much of it is about the conflicts of interest and political maneuverings around the virus. At the end of the video she discusses her proposal to create an international vaccine oversight commission whose members would be internationally recognized experts who sign an agreement or that they have and never will have any profit motive from any vaccine. Hence, I think it is relevant to post the link here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9ti6isM-NY
Love the cartoon!
Although I don’t get what the oil nozzle means.
Katherine
Sorry. Typo. That was supposed to read:
“sign an agreement or that they do not have and never will have any profit from any vaccine . . .”
Katherine
That would go a long way toward restoring faith in medical authority and coordinating an effective response that helps people rather than harming them, that brings people together rather than dividing them into politically aligned camps. The WHO has been cited in areas aside from the COVID pandemic as well for lack of transparency, favoring the views of industry insiders and elbowing out independent researchers. What the public sees is Bill Gates giving them a lot of money, and the WHO adopting policies favorable to Gates’ interests. Anger over the threat of compulsory vaccinations and tracking is particularly intense, being compared to rape.
Movement away from empire to strong, independent countries will not be permitted. When in all of human history has such a blissful state ever been maintained?
A reflection of God’s image can still be seen in many, though it is getting more difficult to see. Especially in the western controlled world, decay is palpable. What was viewed as wrong is now championed as good and the good is condemned as bad. Having governments which are called democratic or democratic or socialist republics has only made this acceleration worse, away from mankind’s creator. It is a system of thought which makes men the supreme being. None of this can end well. I expect some flack over these comments and I’m not explaining very well what I really want to say.
Trump is pumping up the volume – doubling down as usual.
Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump
Some wacko in China just released a statement blaming everybody other than China for the Virus which has now killed hundreds of thousands of people. Please explain to this dope that it was the “incompetence of China”, and nothing else, that did this mass Worldwide killing!

Well, if nothing else Prez Cheeto is proving to be a capable and obedient water carrier for the ANZ’s. Always have to be in attack dog mode about blaming the victims for the problem you and yours actually caused. Globalism 101.
The Taiwan obsession
I lost my appetite for watching Tucker Carlson because of his claim that WHO was vaccilating before China and exhibit A was him showing an interview where the President of WHO refused to answer a question of whether or not he would recognize Taiwan. Actually, that would be an easy question to answer, since WHO is a UN organization and Taiwan is not a member state WHO is not authorized to recognize Taiwan as a separate entity. Kick the football to the UN security Council where it belongs.
Some people thing you can stand up, hold a placard and shout during any meeting and get what you want.
Re Tucker Carlson, I think one has to be glad that he does a good job on some issues—or at least “goes” where other MSM don’t appear to dare to go.
One must pick and choose.
Possibly Carlson has to toe the China line in order to have some rope in other areas.
Katherine
Nah, Fox News people view China as number 1 enemy, while CNN view Russia as #1 instead. They are the same, just different targets.
“It was interesting to listen to the delegate from The Ukraine, who thought unfortunately that this was the correct forum to blame Russia for the virus.”
Lol this cracked me up. Reminds me of when i was a kid. Anytime a minor unfortunate thing would happen, like stubbing your toe, or losing a level in a video game, my brother and i would yell “o jews” as if they were the cause of it. Of course we were still young, and we associated zionisim and all the criminal behavior we would hear about with the word jew. The Ukrainian guy reminded me of this.
Cracked me up as well. Ukro misfits evidently cannot be troubled even to respect the agenda whenever the latter doesn’t involve Russia.
”this delegate had the audio plug pulled on him because he overstayed his welcome by trying to use excess time for blowing passionate hatred for Russia.”
Just when he was about to — inadvertently — reveal the toll the pandemic has taken in ”Ukraine” he was silenced. A little sad actually, although I do understand the need to keep speeches within the allotted time. But no doubt the Ukro was corroborated in his view that Putin silenced him on the spot, which I believe is a most satisfying consolation according to the Ukro Weltanschau.
Which side are you on? Team human or team House Cat?. Funny article below from Puerto Rico:
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/meanwhile-puerto-rico
The trouble with the WHO and the UN in general is the hijacking of its “sustainable” ideologies and the power of those ideologies molded, controlled and BOUGHT by billionaire oligarchs like Gates and Soros to overwhelm the rights and interests of the citizens of sovereign nations.
It is not those rights and interests that the psychopathic billionaires seek to “sustain”…..but rather their own egomaniacal desires to “play God” with the fate of humanity.
That the issue the author omits.from this article…..and “Omissions Are NOT Accidents”.
And it’s a “whopper” of an omission!
Polly St Germaine does not omit this most critical element of the story …in the battle for sovereignty and against the NWO Empire:

Polly was beside herself with worry for weeks that Trump allowed Birx and Fauci from that MAFIA center stage alongside him in his COVID “Pressers”
I don’t think she is so worried any longer, because it is now evident to anyone watching closely that Donald Trump set up.the people that unleashed this PLANNED “pandemic” to set him up…. and you too!
So stay tuned!
Meanwhile, anyone that resents DJT for that (setting them up for the public humiliation they deserve for their criminal intent against BILLIONS) and desires Gates and Soros to take him out (As planned by westerners using China as the Fall Guy in all of this and I am certain Trump understands this nuance…but timing is important..AND .you can’t just say it…sometimes you have to SHOW IT….and that takes time!) has been badly duped by THE EMPIRE.
Which, by the way does NOT have An Emperor With Orange Hair…y’all!! It is more complex than that.
Thanks for those links.
Polly’s videos look to be very well researched. I came across her material a few days ago, and have watched a few since then. According to her PayPal link, her name is Polly St George, not St Germaine.
This is a recent article from the Swiss Propaganda Research Network. Excellent synthesis, well-referenced and from a reliable source.

Excellent information. Thank you!
Interestingly, Swiss Propaganda Research quietly changed its catchy & sexy name, and choose the most boring alternative – ‘Swiss Policy Research’. Cold feet, anyone?
Well, I am really disappointed. When I saw this video( dangerous virus) my stomach turned upside down. I had hope that Russia would have a more mature stand on this plandemic. This fake corona story. But no It is all about creating fear ,uncertainty, doubt ( mam i really still healthy), anxiety it makes people loose self confidence It creates distrust of others and a huge confusion, a whole angst drama. This counterproductive confinement It eats up our moral spiritual immunity, our inner strength. It makes us loose the “war” yes war against whatever we knew as being a free human. BTW the time for conventional wars is over. Forget about bombs and planes, planes only to air spray poisons on our heads. This video is so negative and Nailya is well respected and really good looking which increases the negative impact. And this futuristic hospital images. It made me think If we ever go to Mars or where ever we will bring there our same misery and stupidity and demo(n)crazy bombs. How can they be so deluded there? I just can’t get it.
Only speaking about physical immunity, where is the mention of our collapsing immunity system and what to do about it what policy changes need to be put in place. No we must go on destroying ourselves our nature home more and more. Believe me we haven’t seen anything. There will be more ‘disasters” worse until we are willing to look at the real causes. It is a desperate attempt but apparently successful for the powers that be not to hold on but for their absolute dominion . A system based on western superiority, on aggression exploitation lies and falsehood on perversion worse then animals. But it seems there are people who think that there are good parts in excrement. Why is Russia taking part in this?
And then Lavrov whom we respect so much which his vaccine story. Cooperation with the Gates of hell ? When there are proven natural and conventional remedies. Dis appointed about some comments ! What the MSM are saying about Russia etc is all fake but what they are saying about climate change or corona is all 100 % OK. come on. Is that our level of awareness?
For me, the coronavirus pandemic is 99% fake and the other bit may also prove to be the same.
As for climate change, I would say, that in my particular location, the climate has changed markedly over the past forty years or so. Summers are noticeably warmer and winters have all but disappeared, having been replaced by a much extended autumns.
Whether this climate change is a natural cyclical variation or is a man-made phenomenon I know not, but either way a noticeable change has still happened, in my locale.
I would like to clarify:
Concerning COVID-19, the virus SARS CoV-2 it has to be remarked that this virus triggers the mRNA in some of our cells. This means it has the potential – and this is maybe the dangerous aspect and has thoroughly researched – to dock onto it and our defense system accepts the proteins of this virus as if it is coming from our body. Therefore, our mRNA has the necessary acceptance to start to replicate this virus’ RNA.
So up til now we better take much care about ourselves however, without panic and with more realistic thoughts. Which means, our health should be taken care of.
Moreover, it seems that China (and other countries) has found a vaccine which got some good and working results in mice (sputnik news website of today).
Panicking is absolutely not necessary as there have to be certain conditions in human bodies that this virus could do that as above said.
Also I would stress that we humans got an excellent brain to think and looking back to our development through some millions of years we just overcame quite many, many adversaries.
Along the arguments of Dr. Andrew Kaufman, my question is:
Has anyone properly isolate this virus from a sick person ?
In other words, does this virus really exist in any human body ?
Here is a video of his explaining things
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3TWLuo-8H98
Ya. It exists.
The Chinese isolated it, and sequenced it back in January.
Since then, quite a few others have isolated and sequenced.
Many people have published electron-microscope images.
As of 2020-05-22 the CDC data has North Carolina missing week 16 for 2020. The rest of the states are complete.
The entire USA has an “excess death” rate about 5.5% (50,331) higher than the 4 year average. It will be interesting to see what the 6, 8 and 12 month rate is.
In some online discussions some were suggesting using “excess deaths” to see what effect the covid-19 disease is having and I thought that would be a reasonable approach as it gets past the deaths “with/from” issue.
All the data is from this CDC page:
https://gis.cdc.gov/grasp/fluview/mortality.html
The script and all related files are here if you want to kick the tires:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/fh9x5fngmfbeiiu/AAAH-OtOMqiY_R9qqG6YccCRa?dl=0
The script generates data for all 50 states plus DC and New York City (CDC treats it separately from New York State).
The “reports.xlsx” file has the accumulative totals for all reports.
For 2020 the USA has an “excess death” rate about 5.5% (50,331) higher than the previous 4 year average for weeks 1 to 16. As a comparison I checked the first 16 weeks of 2018 compared to the previous 4 year average and it was 7.2% (63,260).

Recently Yoram Lass (formerly director-general of Israel’s Ministry of Health) gave an interview and said “total deaths” was the only way to look at it.
https://www.spiked-online.com/2020/05/22/nothing-can-justify-this-destruction-of-peoples-lives/
“Mortality due to coronavirus is a fake number. Most people are not dying from coronavirus. Those recording deaths simply change the label.”
“The only real number is the total number of deaths – all causes of death, not just coronavirus.”
I will do up weeks 1 to 21 (end of May) when the CDC puts the data online. Currently missing are 29 weeks data across the 52 states plus DC and NY City (CDC counts it separate).
