How Tedros Ghebreyesus Became Head of the World Health Organization

Tedros and Bill Clinton

In January 2006, Tedros, as Health Minister of Ethiopia, signed an agreement with the Clinton Foundation to expand their HIV/AIDS partnership.

“The support from Clinton Foundation is coming at a time when we are scaling up our fight against HIV/AIDS very aggressively in all three fronts: prevention, treatment and care and support,” said Dr. Tedros Adhanom, the Minister of Health of Ethiopia. “The agreement with the Clinton Foundation is also unique in that it includes capacity building of the health system which is very crucial in sustaining the fight as indicated in our strategic plan. I would like to use this opportunity to thank President Clinton for his commitment to fight HIV/AIDS. ”Ethiopia has been a member of the Clinton Foundation procurement consortium since August 2004. The procurement consortium comprises over 50 countries in the developing world with access to the Clinton Foundation’s reduced prices for anti-retroviral drugs and diagnostic testing supplies. Ethiopia is the sixth African country in which the Clinton Foundation will have a permanent team[fn]"Press Release: Clinton Foundation And Ethiopia Sign Agreement To Expand HIV/AIDS Partnership", Clinton Foundation, 2020, https://web.archive.org/web/20211020222105/https://www.clintonfoundation.org/main/news-and-media/press-releases-and-statements/press-release-clinton-foundation-and-ethiopia-sign-agreement-to-expand-hiv-aids.html [/fn].

In 2007, while Tedros was Health Minister of Ethiopia, the Clinton Foundation received a $100,000,000 commitment from the Lundin Group for its Clinton Guistra Sustainable Growth Initiative. The Lundin Group makes its money from “blood minerals,” minerals allegedly mined in war zones or sold as commodities to help finance political insurrections or warlords. Among the countries in which the Lundin Group cut deals with warlords is Ethiopia[fn]Apelbaum, Yaacov. “Ethiopia Clinton Foundation Got 100m-From-Blood Minerals Firm”, https://www.yaacovapelbaum.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/ethiopia-clinton-foundation-got-100m-from-blood-minerals-firm.jpg [/fn]. Apelbaum, of The Illustrated Primer, alleges that Tedros brokered the donation from the Lundin Group to the Clinton Foundation.[fn]"When Tedros Moves His Lips, Beijing Speaks". The Illustrated Primer, 2020, https://www.yaacovapelbaum.com/2020/03/23/when-tedros-moves-his-lips-beijing-speaks/ [/fn]

At the 2014 Opportunity: Africa Conference, Bill Clinton commended Tedros saying:

“The Health Minister of Ethiopia, now the Foreign Minister, is one of the ablest public servants I've ever worked with. You would all be very comfortable if he became the Secretary of Health and Human Services in the United States. He's a really able man."[fn]DrTedros4WHO. ”Former President Bill Clinton commends Dr. Tedros during 2014 Opportunity: Africa conference", YouTube, 2014, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OpELK8pCu8c[/fn]

Tedros was also a speaker at the 2015 Clinton Foundation Global Initiative and a panelist in a conversation about advancing the status of women and girls over the next 20 years. This was in celebration of the 20^th anniversary of the 1995 4^th World Conference on Women in Beijing.

Chelsea Clinton spoke with Chairman and CEO of Xerox Corporation Ursula Burns in a one-on-one conversation which preceded a panel featuring participants such as Executive Chairman of The Estée Lauder Companies William Lauder and Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.[fn]Clinton Foundation, “CGI 2015 Annual Meeting Highlights”, Medium, 2018, https://stories.clintonfoundation.org/cgi-2015-annual-meeting-highlights-571ea41a1104[/fn]

The Clinton Foundation and the WHO

In 2004, the Clinton HIV/AIDS Initiative (CHAI) entered into an agreement with the WHO to

. . . jointly provide technical assistance on scaling up national HIV/AIDS care and treatment programs to developing country Member States of WHO. . . .

The agreement will also help accelerate the pace at which countries receiving funds from the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria and the World Bank can access CHAI-brokered agreements for reduced prices.

“Because CHAI is a leader in negotiating breakthrough pricing for HIV/AIDS medicines and diagnostics, and WHO is the leading global authority in public health, our collaboration will significantly advance the goal of providing antiretroviral treatment to three million people by 2005,” said Ira Magaziner, Chairman of the Clinton HIV/AIDS Initiative.[fn]Clinton HIV/AIDS Initiative and World Health Organization partner to Help Scale-up Developing Country HIV/AIDS Care and Treatment Programs, Who Iint, 2004, https://web.archive.org/web/20210920014532/https://www.who.int/3by5/mediacentre/releases/news25/en/ [/fn]

This arrangement was illegal as explained by Mr. Doyle, a Clinton Foundation whistleblower, in the above video clip and in this archived video; a US non-profit may not act as a broker for a foreign government or foreign company. The Foundation was not held accountable.[fn]Hoft, Joe. “The Clinton Foundation and the WHO Formed An Agreement Which Was Against US Tax Law and Should Have Cost the Foundation its Tax-Exempt Status”, The Gateway Pundit, 2020, https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/04/clinton-foundation-formed-agreement-us-tax-law-cost-foundation-tax-exempt-status/[/fn]

The Clintons and China

The Clintons have a decades-long history of business and political relationships with Chinese individuals. The DNC illegally received donations from China while Bill was in the White House. Although these donations were returned, the offense was an impeachable one:

Chinagate, more than any other scandal, should have led to the impeachment, and removal, of Bill Clinton from office. At least six individuals were believed to have been used by the Chinese to influence the 1996 elections. Despite the fact that the illegal donations were returned, Janet Reno was criticized for never appointing an independent prosecutor for the Chinagate scandal.

. . .

Bill and Hillary Clinton continued this pattern of getting foreign donations from unethical businessmen with the Clinton Foundation.[fn]Zapesochny, Robert et al. “Chinagate And The Clintons”, The American Spectator, 2016, https://spectator.org/chinagate-and-the-clintons/[/fn]

The Clintons help legitimize Communist China

Under Vice President Bush, China, previously ousted from the global economy, received observer status at the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), the predecessor to the World Trade Organization. However, it was only after Clinton normalized trade relations between the US and China in 2000, that China was enabled to become a founding member of the World Trade Organization in 2001.

Not only did this result in millions of US jobs lost to China, it also paved the way for “the legitimizing of the brutal and corrupt Communist Chinese government."[fn]Rivera, Julio, ”The Bushes, the Clintons, China. . . and Trump", American Thinker, 2020, https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2020/09/the_bushes_the_clintons_china_and_trump.html[/fn]

Conclusion

We can now see how the personal and political interests of an American millionaire and billionaire and the Chinese Communist Party have enabled [Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus] to become the Director-General of the WHO.

Why Gates, Clinton, and China were allowed to gain so much unfettered power is a question we should all be asking.

In the introduction to this series, Frontline News pointed to the WHO's Global Pandemic Treaty — the agency's quest to gain global and unilateral control over pandemics — when to declare them, in which countries, and what measures are to be taken. Failure to follow WHO directives would lead to punishment.

President Trump may have been correct to pull US funding from the WHO and the US out of the organization.[fn]Quinn, Melissa. "Trump Moves To Officially Withdraw U.S. From World Health Organization". CBS News, 2020, https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-who-world-health-organization-us-notice-of-withdrawal/ [/fn] President Biden has had the US rejoin the WHO, resumed funding it, and is planning on signing the treaty, even while many Americans — and citizens worldwide — object to giving away their national sovereignty and health freedom to an organization, especially one as corrupt as the WHO.

Sovereignty belongs to the citizens whose elected officials (should ideally) answer to them. Don't sit idly by while bad actors take control of your freedom. Learn more about the treaty and what you can do to voice your objections to your country's signing on to the WHO Pandemic Treaty:
