Selling Australia's soul to the devil. These politicians just want to turn over responsibilities when they unleash the next poison to cause a false plandemic, then being able to say we are just following directions from the WHO as we no longer have control. This is one of the scariest things being implemented into our world. Watch the film "The Agenda" on youtube.

Excellent writing Ian. The sweep of information nails an array of wilful neglect of the public interest by the ALP federal government.

Tim Wilson MP Goldstein was recently confirmed as the winner beating TEAL Zoe Daniel, by 175 votes.

Tim was swiftly appointed Shadow Minister for Employment & Industrial Relations, as well Small Business.

Ian's substack Point 3 refers to the impeding annihilation of small business.

Tim Wilson is obligated to react and respond to what exactly is the Opposition's official position regarding the July 19 WHO amendments. It is not just a matter for the Shadow Health Minister.

Brilliant Tim. Please ensure he DOES ACT and gets as many politicians in Canberra to oppose this act of lunacy.

So much easier to say 'yeah whatever' than to actually think critically and fight for what is best for Australia

The current batch of low calibre politicians makes the worst politicians of the past 30 years look brilliant. They should not be let loose in any capacity for public office. They lack wisdom and discernment which will cost us more than most realise. They’re a national embarrassment.

As you wrote: The WHO offers donors a 3,400% return on investment, openly promoting “at least $35 for every $1 invested.”

WHO’s Directing Global Health Policy?”

Published by the Australian Medical Professionals’ Society (AMPS), June 2025

Purpose of the Report

This independent investigation by AMPS critically examines the World Health Organization’s (WHO) funding mechanisms, focusing on the top-100 non-country donors to the WHO’s voluntary contributions for specified purposes in 2022–2023. The report aims to evaluate whether these funding arrangements compromise the WHO’s independence, especially given its central role in new global health treaties such as:

The 2024 Amendments to the International Health Regulations (IHR).

The WHO Pandemic Treaty/Agreement.

Key Findings

Donor Influence and Return on Investment

The WHO offers donors a 3,400% return on investment, openly promoting “at least $35 for every $1 invested.”

Donors can earmark funds for specific purposes, allowing them to influence WHO priorities and operations.

These arrangements violate the WHO’s own conflict of interest guidelines.

Pharmaceutical Dominance

Of the top-100 non-country donors:

100% of pharmaceutical company donors had a vested interest in WHO projects.

96.5% of organisational donors were aligned with the pharmaceutical industry.

100% of UN agencies, banks, research institutions, regional governments, and other business donors had links to the pharmaceutical industry.

Direct donations from pharma companies (e.g., Sanofi, Bayer, Merck, Novartis, GSK) totalled $28.7 million.

Gates Foundation and GAVI together contributed over $1.3 billion, accounting for over 62% of specified donations.

Conflict of Interest and Policy Control

WHO’s budget is 70% donor-dependent, with funds being “highly earmarked.”

WHO's treaties potentially allow the organisation to mandate medical interventions globally—including lockdowns, genetic therapies, and forced vaccinations—regardless of actual threat.

Influential families (Gates, Rockefeller) were found to directly and indirectly control donation channels via interlinked organisations.

Inter-organisational Collusion

Shared staff, board overlaps, cross-funding, and mutual partnerships exist between top donors (e.g., GAVI, UNICEF, Wellcome Trust, Rockefeller Foundation, Gates Foundation, PATH, World Bank, etc.).

Foundations created by donors established or fund other major donor entities, creating a networked hierarchy of influence.

Discussion and Implications

WHO’s independence is compromised by accepting specified-purpose donations from organisations with vested pharmaceutical interests.

The WHO now acts more as a corrupt global public-private partnership than an impartial public health agency.

The “Decade of Vaccines” model, pushed by Gates and Rockefeller initiatives, dominates global health, potentially at the cost of more holistic or non-pharmaceutical public health approaches.

The report highlights pharmaceutical malfeasance, including fines, data manipulation, and unsafe drug releases, to argue that pharma-led health policy may not serve public interests.

Conclusions

The WHO’s financial model creates serious conflicts of interest.

It allows pharmaceutical companies and aligned foundations to shape global health policy.

These practices undermine trust in the WHO and raise concerns about the integrity of its pandemic response powers under international treaties.

Recommendations by AMPS

Australia should immediately withdraw from:

The International Health Regulations Amendments (2024).

The WHO Pandemic Agreement/Treaty.

Reinstate Australia’s former pandemic management plan.

Withdraw from the WHO entirely until it reforms to:

Eliminate conflict of interest.

Prioritise genuine public health over industry influence.

OPINION

Statement on the WHO’s Handling of the COVID-19 Pandemic

As a physician who has spent decades advocating for ethical, evidence-based, and patient-centred care, I can no longer remain silent on the catastrophic role the World Health Organisation (WHO) played during the COVID-19 crisis—what many of us now refer to as the plandemic.

The WHO’s mismanagement of the global response—marked by the unquestioning promotion of panic, lockdowns, school closures, and the rushed, coercive rollout of toxic gene-based injections—has irreparably damaged public health, public trust, and the very foundations of modern medicine.

By pushing lockdowns with no credible long-term public health justification, by supporting the closure of schools which has now proven to have harmed an entire generation, and by endorsing experimental mRNA injections under the guise of "safe and effective" without long-term safety data, the WHO betrayed its mandate to protect health and serve humanity. It silenced dissent, marginalised independent scientists, and became an enabler of pharmaceutical profiteering on an unprecedented scale.

Let me be clear: many in my profession now regard the WHO with absolute contempt. It has become a captured agency—serving its donors, not the people. Its credibility is in ruins, and its actions during COVID-19 were not just failures of policy, but violations of medical ethics and crimes against public trust, crimes against humanity.

We are calling this out—not as a matter of politics, but as a matter of principle. The WHO no longer deserves our blind allegiance. It must be reformed, held accountable, or abandoned altogether in favour of an agency that respects science, autonomy, and human rights. We do not need the WHO.

Excellent letter. Describes the situation very well. Thank you, from Ireland.

Given the love affair with "viruses" and the alleged mRNA/LNP generic 100 day platform of CEPI (thank you to its Chairman of the Board, Australian psychologist and academic Jane Halton), the WEF/UNEP sponsored eugenics centred outcome seems inevitable.

At some point the populace of both Australia and New Zealand, with little left to lose, must surely come to recognise that a righteous civil war against a morally and ethically bankrupt kakistocracy is a reasonable and rational action to take.

The withdrawal of social license and submission to governance will have its moment.

Australians should know The WHO has no connection to the word health...it is primarily interested in controlling countries and making money by promoting Big Pharma's interests. The WHO has the same objective as a number of world governments have...lower the population. It's leaders are corrupt and dealing with them will bring about disaster. Call for your leaders to EXIT the WHO and EXIT the UN. The UN is not working in the best interests of the world. It is equally corrupt. It is in existence, because too many countries are foolishly contributing to its support.

I sent my emails to them. Only got an answer from Albo's contact form, which basically passed me on to the Health Minister. Butler, Wong, etc. and my local member have not bothered to reply at all to my email regarding the proposed approval of IHR changes and pandemic treaty.
