The UN’s WHO and the Swine Flu screams

Readers who have followed my articles very much, already know of my disdain for the United Nations Organization. It is no better than the organization it replaced, the defunct League of Nations. Both may have had some admirable reasons for being established, but there were other more subtle underlying reasons also.
The prime reason behind the UN's creation and even more so, many of the actions they have taken, is that of creating a world power, a world governance.
Now, the Council of Europe (COE), announces a report by PACE Health Committee, accusing the World Health Organization of grossly exaggerating the Swine Flu pandemic's probabilities and placed an "unjustified scare" upon the world's people. This resulted, the report says, in a waste of large sums of public monies. Following are some excerpts from the report itself which may show reason for their accusations:
The report, prepared by Paul Flynn (United Kingdom, SOC) and approved today by the committee ahead of a plenary debate at the end of this month, says there was "overwhelming evidence that the seriousness of the pandemic was vastly overrated by WHO", resulting in a distortion of public health priorities.
Presenting his report, Mr. Flynn told the committee: "this was a pandemic that never really was", and described the vaccination programme as "placebo medicine on a large scale" (COE-PACE Health Committee report)
And the next one is even more revealing:
However, attending the meeting was Fiona Godlee, the Editor-in-Chief of the British Medical Journal, who told the parliamentarians that, according to an investigation by her journal, scientists who drew up key WHO guidelines on stockpiling flu vaccines and drugs had previously been paid by drug companies which stood to profit. (Ibid)
The United Nations Organization has shown itself to be impotent in helping to keep peace. Their peace-keeping forces have committed about as many atrocities as have those to whom they were sent to control.
They have interfered with countries who were struggling to help allies and have voted against many worthy resolutions. Their foreign ambassadors park illegally with impunity and a number of other such disgusting shows of disdain for our laws. Every move they make has the potential of aggravating the plummeting world economy rather than to remedy it. The many millions of U.S. Taxpayer monies could readily be put into many more worthy causes.

Top-level comments on this article: (3 total)I understand what you're saying about the swine flu scare, Joel, but I do feel that it's better to be safe than sorry. If the UN had ignored it and it had turned out to be really bad, people would have slated it for being slack!I'd be interested in some hard facts re the UN. Your article has piqued my interest, thanks!Thanks for commenting Jennifer. Well I'll try to come up with specifics in a article, but the ones I have mentioned above, have you not read news stories of them in the past? Some members were deeply involved in the oil scandal a couple of years ago.
Joel, the UN isn't about keeping the peace...though that was it's original intent. Unfortunately, the governments involved in it's formation had no intention of allowing an international body to hold a veto over their national interests...both the (now defunct) Soviet Union and it's heir Russia, as well as the US have ever really bowed to pressure from that organization. On the otherhand, allowing Iran to chair the UN Council on Women's Rights is a genuine joke, as well as having all the major oppressive nations to sit upon the Human Rights Council...owellian indeed.RichThanks for the comment Rich, I presume you meant to agree with me in your comment. You are saying precisely what I was trying to say. I know they are totally worthless in keeping the peace. They are in Afghanistan with us right now? What are they doing? Nothing. The U.S., as usual is taking the brunt of the thing. You are right, the members of the Security Council do whatever they want to do regardless of what the others say. It is totally impotent. It is only a front for their attempts to form a global governance. Put "global governance" in a Google search window and then read the things you pull up.The world is a community, not cowboys. Get over the notion that America rules, it doesn't. Just a member like everyone else.The world is not a community. Who mentioned cowboys? America has never ruled and I don't expect it to. I just want the people of America to run their own business without the interference of a world of greedy and selfish people. We have enough of those here, along with ignorance.
Joel, I mostly agree with what you are saying here. I certainly have no love for the UN either. And yes, the WHO probably overreacted to the whole swine flu danger. However, I do agree with Jennifer that it's better to be safe than sorry. I would rather that they overreact than underreact. Could you imagine what would have happened if they had ignored it and it had ultimately turned out to the the next Black Plague?I got my swine flu shot as soon as it became available to me, just like I always get my regular flu shot each year. I would have gotten one even if had cost $100,000 and was only availble in Australia. I would have taken out a second mortgage and flown there to get one, if that had been necessary. As it turned out, though, it only cost $15 and was available at my local Walgreens. :-)I know some people (including some of my relatives, I'm sad to say) who would not take the swine flu shot because they thought it might be intentionally tainted as a part of some kind of sinister plot by the federal government and the UN. Sheesh!!!Hi Terry, yes and I do not disagree with what you say. My wife and I also took our swine flu shots as soon as they were available. That isn't my point. Instead of getting a thorough investigation into the matter, they blew it out of proportion. They have lost their credibility and eventhough they blew it up big, I think less people took the vaccine than ever. Just as they did on the global warming. Sometime, just for the sake of checking it, pull up "global governance" on Google and then check some of the write-ups on it. Thanks for your comment Terry. I may have misled some in appearing to mean they should not have alerted people. I only meant they exaggerated it based on virtually no evidence.Joel, your point is understood and well taken. Thanks for clarifying.Very valid point that the United Nations - the UN is little better than the league of nationsThe league of nations had very little ultimate power yet it means wellThe UN was meant to have the large real powers at the helmYet it has become the tool of a myriad of small countriesOn top of that it is a most corrupt organization full of self serving even evil bureaucrats each serving their own interestsLook at Koffi Anon , Louise Arbor from Canada as examplesThink of the Rwanda massacresThink of the promised made regarding arms in southern lebanonAre the US peacekeepers blind - or do they do not care about their roleOne big government worldwide by the UNNot likelyWell said Terry, thanks for the input. The worst part is, far too many people do not realize all of this and do not insist on us pulling out ot the thing. As I have said, form alliances with those who love freedom and democracy that we can trust and let the others do whatever they want. If the U.N. should ever get the upper hand in rule, backed by military might, the U.S. would be their first holocaust.
