Lady Gaga called the Doc a "superstar" during the One World concert designed to prop up the rotten borough that is WHO. Do entertainers, actors really have any conception about this guy Doc Tedros and his checkered history?
When I think of the vaunted World Health Organization, under the guidance of the onetime big tooth on the crushing cog of the cruel Marxist dictatorship which used to run Ethiopia, erstwhile kidnapper and that great and good healer, good old Doctor Tedros Adhanom-Ghebreyesus PhD, I am reminded of the old vaudeville act of Abbott and Costello and WHO’s on first, especially when their routine, like WHO’s and old Doc Tedros’s, follows the money:
Costello: WHO gets the money?…
Abbott: He does, every dollar. Sometimes his wife comes down and collects it.
Costello: WHO's wife?
Abbott: Yes.
WHO has degenerated into a good time club of bureaucrats whose primary goal is jet-setting, lavish meals with top shelf booze and babes
Unlike the once great United Nations, where pitifully selfless individuals like Trygvie Lie and Dag Hammarskjold once walked the storied halls of the UN, WHO has degenerated into a good time club of bureaucrats whose primary goal is jet-setting, lavish meals with top shelf booze and, according to wags in Stockholm and Kigali, babes.
WHO is no longer managed by the selfless sort of medical men like Arrowsmith and Gottlieb that are so richly described by Sinclair Lewis. Nope, the UN health agency with global reach blows around $200 million a year on travel alone so its key grips and gaffers can fly business class and stay in five-star hotels — more than what it spends for battling some of the world’s biggest health crises like AIDS, according to the AP. Meanwhile, with five times as many staffers, those pitiful lowlife chumps over at Doctors Without Borders, spend a bit over $40 million a year on travel, motels and yurts - the poor saps.
But let’s not overlook a few jots from the celebrated background of good old Doc Tedros Adhanom-Ghebreyesus PhD.
Before it came to power in 1991, in Ethiopia, through a violently destructive armed revolution, the TPLF was listed as a terrorist organization by the U.S. Homeland Security’s Global Terrorism Database. Inside the Tigray People Liberation Front or TPLF, the major honchos could have been located in their nine-member gang–the executive committee. This clique was ultimately responsible for all the corruption, killings, torture, mass detention, land grabs or the displacement of thousands as well as divying up the proceeds from their corrupt methods. Good old Doc Adhanom was among the top three within that gang and on this committee and he was very close to the late dictator Meles Zenawi, who expired in 2012 from a sudden onset infection, which some said was from an overexposure to lead, the typical gangster's death.
Once the right-hand man of Zenawi, whom Adhanom refers to as “the great leader”, he wasn’t an ordinary health minister (2005-2012) or a foreign minister (2012-2016). Doc Tedros had risen from a rank-and-file thug in the TPLF to its central and executive committees. TPLF, where membership is based on the twin virtues of ethnic origin and brutality, is responsible for countless killings, torture, mass detentions and violent repressions. The TPLF had instituted a discriminatory political and economic structure that enabled it to dominate and subjugate the majority in Ethiopia. Given this narrow-minded, ethnocentric experience combined with a taste for violence, his upcoming aspiration to lead WHO is a bit hard to swallow and pass. Can killers be healers?
In 2014, following a meeting with Yemeni security forces, Adhanom and his delegation of cronies wanted Yemen to have dissidents that enter Yemen to seek asylum or use Sana’a International Airport as a transit route, kidnapped and handed back over to them, according to two credible former security operatives.
Andargachew Tsege, a British citizen of Ethiopian origin, was top on the list of dissidents that the delegation, of which good old Doc Tedros Adhanom PhD was leader, wanted them, in CIA parlance, “terminated with extreme prejudice.” Tsege, who was one of the key figures in the 2005 popular movement for change and democracy in Ethiopia, had already received two death sentences in absentia in 2009 and 2012 for preaching such idiocy in Ethiopia, the good old doc’s home.

How did China gain such influence over old Doc Tedros Adhanom-Ghebreyesus
A few days after being kidnapped in June 2014, Tsege was hauled in front of Ethiopian TV for the usual perp walk. Adhanom who appeared on VOA Amharic in July 2015 and told the nation that although Tsege’s kidnapping was definitely justified, the poor man was receiving all the comforts of home in captivity, with a laptop, a TV and good eats. While the latter was not the case, after pressure by the Brits and the, now get this, the UN, Tsege was released in 2018 with 575 other unfortunates who shared death row with him. The kidnappers have never been brought to justice, have they, good Doc Tedros Adhanom PhD?
Lately out on the hustings, “Tedros apparently turned a blind eye to what happened in Wuhan and the rest of China and, after meeting with Xi in January, has helped Red China to play down the severity, prevalence and scope of the COVID-19 outbreak,” University of Texas-San Antonio professor Henry Thayer and Citizens Power Initiatives for China vice president Lianchao Han wrote in a March 17 op-ed published in The Hill. Meanwhile WHO is now peddling Red China’s claims to have reduced the number of new infections in Wuhan to zero (0). Really, WHO?
How did China gain such influence over old Doc Tedros Adhanom-Ghebreyesus and done so much getting him elected with their monetary and material gifts to Africa's perpetual poor and mismanaged nations? “In short, the total contributions of China versus the U.S. is $86 million versus $893 million," David Maxwell, a senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD), told Fox News. "The U.S. contributes nearly 10 times the amount China does.” I'll bet you that there must be other inducements and emoluments going around to pave the good Doc's path to the top slot in WHO's corporation. Or did Doc Tedros pick up a few tips from his Whitey Bulger days in the Horn of Africa?
Lady Gaga has called the Doc a "superstar"
Just like those thousands in Ethiopia in the bad old days of the TPLF when the bad old good Doc Tedros was a running wild, a Chinese real estate mogul who criticized his government’s response has suddenly disappeared. The Red Chinese have also severely punished doctors with real MDs who tried to warn the public in the outbreak’s early stages and later kept the lid on information about the virus so it wouldn't escape online.
Sure, Lady Gaga has called the Doc a "superstar" during her comments in the latest One World concert designed to prop up the rotten borough that is WHO. But do entertainers and actors really have any conception about this guy Doc Tedros and his checkered history? Of course they don't. More is the pity.
