Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus
Criticism of the World Health Organization (WHO) for allowing the Chinese Communist Party to influence its behavior during the Wuhan virus epidemic is intensifying, coupled with calls for Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus to resign.

A petition calling for Tedros' resignation and Taiwan's full membership in WHO reached 500,000 signatures on Thursday, as reported by Taiwan News:
On Jan. 31, a netizen named Osuka Yip started a petition titled, "Call for the resignation of Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO Director-General," on Change.org, citing Adhanom's refusal on Jan. 23 to designate the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) a global health emergency. The author said this was partially to blame for the number of infected cases increasing more than tenfold from 800 to more than 10,000 over the next five days.

"We strongly think Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus is not fit for his role as WHO Director General. We call for the Immediate Resignation of Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus," the petition reads.

It goes on to lament that despite the WHO's supposed commitment to neutrality, Adhanom has taken the number of infected provided by China at face value. The vast majority of coronavirus infections have occurred in the communist country, which at the time of writing has counted 81,226 infections, a number widely believed to be grossly underreported, with 3,281 confirmed deaths.

Taiwan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) on Tuesday (March 24) confirmed that it had warned the WHO about human-to-human transmission of COVID-19 on Dec. 31 last year. However, the WHO did not publish the requested information on its internal website and on Jan. 8 praised China's identification of the virus and did not recommend any specific travel measures for travelers.
The petition can be viewed and signed at Change.org, which reported 549,813 signatures as of Thursday morning.

Comment: There always has to be someone or something to blame for the machinations and actions of those who create chaos and want to remain hidden. Whether Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus was negligent, read the signs of this virus as not that serious for strenuous reaction to suppress, or correct for the information available at the time, the PTB has signaled crucify.

From a $15 minimum wage to union membership on board seats, the $2.2 trillion coronavirus stimulus bill comes with significant union-friendly strings attached for midsize businesses that employers should take into consideration before taking stimulus loans, according to labor analysts.

Economic observers say companies should be concerned about these pro-union loan provisions because they could hurt businesses, just when companies need to quickly hire as a means of preventing an economic recession or depression.

One of the additional, major pro-union measures included in the Senate-passed coronavirus stimulus is what's called the "card check" method of labor organizing, when a majority of employees in a bargaining unit publicly sign authorization forms, or "cards." Critics say card check takes away the right to a secret ballot, which protects workers from undue union pressure to sign.

Comment: Labor Department's 'shove aside response' to questions assures workers' rights will be intentionally and automatically negated without opposition if the package is hurriedly passed without critical exploration. Designed with panic items to assure quick approval, embedded business mandates will become law.

Taliban chief negotiator Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar
Taliban forces have taken control of a district headquarters in Afghanistan's northeastern province of Badakhshan, an overnight development that was followed on March 28 by an announcement that the militant group will not negotiate with a team recently unveiled by the Afghan government.

The district headquarters in Yumgan was overrun by Taliban fighters after heavy fighting, resulting in an undetermined number of casualties, provincial councilors told the German dpa news agency. Four villages in neighboring Jurm district were also taken by the Taliban, according to the councilors.

The militant group followed up on the development by announcing that it is refusing to deal with the 21-member team approved on March 26 by the Afghan government in an effort to end the country's 18-year-old war.

The team is led by Masoom Stanekzai, the former head of head of Afghanistan's National Directorate of Security (NDS), and includes politicians, former officials, and representatives of civil society. Five members are women.

Comment: Do we have whiplash yet? On again, off again commitments do not prove a readiness for a transitional restructuring of Afghanistan any time soon. Will the US continue its withdrawal or find more excuses to remain?

Who CARES about debt? Covid-19, corporate plunder, & the US plan of unlimited bank bailouts

Debt matters. In Washington's swamp, no one CARES about debt. Big government has become more addicted to debt than drug addicts to a pipe full of crack.

In October 2019, the International Monetary Fund downgraded its global growth forecast with a stark warning for 2020 that "Global growth will fall to the lowest levels since 2008's great financial crisis." Markets rejoiced and rocketed to new record highs because bad news is good news. Bad news signals more Federal Reserve interest rate cuts are on the way. On Wall Street, corks were popping, and Cristal champagne was flowing like water as the band played Milton Ager's 1929 classic 'Happy Days Are Here Again'. Today, I realized the tune was foreshadowing a brutal beginning to 2020.

US Congress recently approved the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security, or CARES, legislation, which will provide $2 trillion for bailouts (called direct assistance) and loan guarantees as well as for the purchase of securities and/or stocks either directly from the companies or in the secondary markets. Besides CARES, the Federal Reserve Bank has committed to providing unlimited bailouts.

Comment: To prevent the collapse of global economies intervention is required. However if the solution is to be bail out the corrupt players just like happened in the banking crisis in 2008 and there isn't a complete overhaul of system then we can only expect more of the same, except perhaps a short delay of the inevitable implosion.

Crisis and opportunity: A positive spin on the current coronavirus pandemic

The past weeks have seen the world swept up by a maelstrom of hysteria, misinformation, and confusion under the guise of a new global pandemic. The oversaturation of information overwhelms the senses and is almost designed to inflame the mass panic, which has taken a life of its own and even threatens to trigger a total financial blowout of the trans Atlantic bubble economy. What people thought the American elections were just a few weeks ago has profoundly changed and the crisis has induced even Tulsi Gabbard to step down and endorse creepy Joe Biden while Bernie's campaign crumbles slowly into oblivion.

In the midst of this disorder threatening to turn nation states upside down, some perspective is in order.

What We Know So Far...

Whether or not the coronavirus is a bioweapon as some analysts (and certain government officials) claim, or whether it is a wind egg as was outlined poignantly by Dr. Wolfgang Wodarg, the fact remains that powerful forces have made an effort to steer governments into chaos in a global putsch for a new fascist dictatorship.

FBI chief vows to discover ex-agent's fate in Iran

Chris Wray

FBI Director Chris Wray: "We’re going to keep working doggedly to determine the circumstances."
FBI Director Chris Wray says the top U.S. law enforcement agency will never give up on "finding out what happened" to former agent Robert Levinson, who the U.S. government believes died while in Iranian custody.

In an e-mail to FBI staff seen by the Associated Press on March 26, Wray said he had met with the family of Robert Levinson and "we explained that the most credible evidence we have collected over the past 13 years points to the likelihood that Bob died in captivity."

"It pained me to deliver that news, but I believe that we owed Bob's family a thorough and candid presentation of the information that we've collected," Wray wrote.

Wray did not provide details on the "credible evidence" he said the family had received.

In 2009 UK Government Experts Wildly Over-hyped Dangers of Swine Flu — is History Repeating With COVID-19?

Comment: RT seems to finally be coming around to seeing this flu scare for the global psy-op that it is.


pope rome covid-19

Have people maybe taken this too far? The Pope saying mass to no one on St Peter's Square, the Vatican, Rome, 26 March 2020
Amidst the coronavirus lockdown, some of the claims of governments and media have been shown to be exaggerated. Ten years ago, they tried the same thing with swine flu. They haven't learned their lessons — has the public?

On Wednesday, RT picked apart the sensationalist mortality rates that media and governments have been using to terrify the public. These figures are the product of some transparently weak statistics, and cast the true threat from Covid-19 into doubt. There is a saying among statisticians who generate the projections of how pandemics will spread that goes: ''All models are wrong.'' How true that may soon be proven. Now, in the heat of the coronavirus crisis, epidemiologists and computer modelers are being yanked in front of governments and parliaments to give their worst case scenario predictions... and some are already emerging with egg on their face.

Comment: People need to stock up, devise emergency plans to leave cities, and develop/deepen contacts with others leaving the 'hive mind'.

The virus is a nothing-burger, but the forces it has unleashed have changed the world forever. Things will start breaking soon, the climate will worsen, and food riots/revolution will result in 'permanent' martial law.

It may take few years, but this too shall pass when the whole system collapses.

'The answer is no': Trump says WSJ story on suspending tariffs is 'just more fake news' and other corona-related news

US President Donald Trump swiftly shut down the suggestion that Washington would suspend import tariffs for a quarter of a year amid the Covid-19 crisis, dubbing recent source-based reporting on the question as "fake news."

Asked about a new 'scoop' in the Wall Street Journal blaring from its headline: "US plans to stop collecting import tariffs for three months," the president dismissed the idea immediately, insisting it was not even on the table, and chastising Fox News correspondent John Roberts for the question."Just more fake news, John. They've not even talked to me," Trump said at Friday's coronavirus briefing at the White House.

"Everyone keeps saying 'Are you going to suspend the tariffs?' The answer is no. President Xi never even brought it up last night,it wasn't even discussed."

Comment: Trump has signed an executive order to call up a million reserve military personnel to deal with the coronavirus. He also signed the Defense Production Act, in order to force private companies to manufacture essential supplies. In this case it was to force General Motors to produce ventilators. In Russia a fourth coronavirus patient has died, although that person did have a pre-existing condition. In the Ukraine thousands of people swarmed the border to get back into the country ahead of the planned lockdown. Johns Hopkins University announced that the US has over 100,000 positive tests of COVID-19.

The US has quietly sought foreign doctors to help fight the virus, promising them they can skip to the front of the immigration queue. In France, the lockdown will be extended as the death toll has reached 2,000. The Serbian PM has set the record straight, saying it is 'fake news' that they don't appreciate EU help, but that Covid-19 aid came from China. The Italian Foreign Minister brushed aside suggestions from a reporter that aid from Russia came with strings attached. The Russia hysteria continues to exist in many journalists. UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has reportedly tested positive for the coronavirus, although he describes his symptoms as 'mild.'

'This is low, even for you': Hillary Clinton uses record coronavirus deaths to bash Trump, gets virtual punches herself

As the US recorded more cases of Covid-19 than any other country in the world, Hillary Clinton used the opportunity to crack jokes about President Trump. The failed presidential candidate was savaged online for her insensitivity.

As of Friday, the United States has recorded more than 94,000 cases of the Covid-19 coronavirus, passing out China and Italy. More than 1,400 Americans have died, hospitals are approaching capacity, and a record 3.3 million workers have filed for unemployment.

As the US passed this grim milestone, former secretary of state and 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton took the opportunity not to send Americans a message of hope or solidarity, but to mock President Trump.
