Popular Post ThailandRyan Posted September 7, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 7, 2020 It does not matter what the world will look like and how prepared someone would like it to be. The facts are that people could care less in regards to anyone but themselves. No matter what preparations are in place, unless there is personal responsibility and people get off of the high horse they sit on, history will always repeat itself. Take that comment with a grain of salt, rub that salt in your own wallowing self pity and the wo is me the government kept me from being safe statement, and then really think about where we are now and where we will be. The answer is "The same place with the same issues" 1 1 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Money to made and hidden agendas to be sold. In a way I agree. But I guess mostly the leaders like to control the (perceived) threads like i.e. talking about migration. The problem with those viruses is that they are not predictable and there is only limited control over them. I guess by now Trump realizes that he should have taken that virus more serious. It won't go away by itself and lots of people notice the rising number of dead people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiphigh Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 This idiot is exactly what happens when a "world" organization has been influenced by people who have the agenda set by those who give money or services in exchange for their loyalty. Countries/states do need to have their own supply and manufacturing chain and set minimum stock pile levels And take responsibility for it. That should be publicly available for all to see. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Agee, nearly all countries are now governed by right wingers. This has been the case the last few years. The pendulum will swing back at some point. Then the world will go back to a forward progression. Conservatives in general would like to turn back the clock to the Middle Ages if they could get away with it.

Apart from, the EU (France Spain, Germany), Australia, New Zealand, Canada, China, Vietnam. Did I miss any of the big socialist states? Would also point out the UK and the USA seem to have a lot of welfare to spread around supporting single moms, and denying their men the chances of having a traditional family. I would tend to class any country supporting and encouraging single moms to be socialist states. I would assume the WHO are just insisting all governments become more controlling and oppressive, as IMHO the WHO seems to be mainly an organisation designed to spread socialism.

Thank, I learned a new word today. I just looked it up. From Wikipedia: "A kakistocracy is a system of government that is run by the worst, least qualified, and/or most unscrupulous citizens." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kakistocracy They also write: "The word was coined as early as the seventeenth century." Now that is really shocking. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who is running the WHO? It's certainly not Tedros, although Tedros has enjoyed some cushy board positions on his way to being the figurehead at the helm to control world health matters, and in turn, control how the world operates. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are always two sides to a unprecedented tragedy! Pre and post pandemic! Just like any large scale damage caused by a destructive catastrophe ! The post pandemic calamities have caused many related deaths and destruction, indirectly i.e. hunger,lack of medical attention caused by shutdown, human suffering ,unemployment,crime and many others. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo2014 Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 This Gormless Fool Tedros has driven WHO to become the laughing stock of the World with his ridiculous sycophantic praise for the CCP in January and then later his lagging on sensible advice such as blocking international flights. Now he has the Gall to tell the rest of the world to be prepared! ????. Such audacity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaiyen Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 WE won't need another Pandemic. I think this one will keep the world busy for a long time yet ! It will help reduce the world population just as wars and Spanish Flu and Bubonic Plague have done in the past. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
