Most everyone knows the Dr. Seuss story “Horton Hears a Who,” unless of course your library has been stripped of the un-woke Dr. Seuss before you or your kids had a chance to enjoy it.
Horton is a big ‘ol elephant that can hear a tiny civilization living on a fuzz ball. A feat it seems no one else is capable of. And, you guessed it, no one believes Horton when he shares his discovery. Horton was one of the first shrews (an elephant shrew) and a Cassandra of sorts.
Needless to say, this civilization of tiny folks, the Whos, was in trouble and needed help, pleading to Horton to help them. In a kind of strange twist to the Chicken Little story, Horton wanders around his neighborhood, delicately holding the fuzz ball in his trunk, now safely sitting on a clover flower, asking people to help him help the Whos. No one listens. No one else hears the Whos’ cries for help. No one believes Horton.
This article is not about Horton and his fuzz ball. I just thought it was a clever title for a topic that has little to do with the Seuss story, except that Horton was clearly a shrew, and saw something important that no one else could see. Horton fearing the WHO (the WHO we all should fear) when no one else seems to, is where the analogy ends. But hey, it makes a good title.
So what is this WHO Horton fears (hears) that no one else seems to hear (fear)?
Let me tell you.
The WHO I am speaking about stands for World Health Organization, and was established by the United Nations, another dubious organization, in 1948. All these sorts of things seem, at the time of their inception, to be a good idea. I mean, what could be better than a world health organization, uniting countries with the common goal of tending to global health?
So what is the WHO supposed to do? A bunch of things, apparently the most obvious, at least according to their official mandate, is to assist nations in their efforts to keep their citizens healthy. From a more specific, and official, standpoint the WHO co-ordinates efforts to keep nations in alignment with International Health Regulations, to allow easier access to medical supplies and medical practitioners, and promoting public health and well-being in keeping with the Sustainable Development Goals, set forth by the UN. Pretty impressive, eh?
How can all this be a bad thing? Even mom and apple pie can be manipulated into something evil if the right forces are behind it, and these noble altruistic ideas have quickly become instruments for control and oppression. Maybe they all started out with that benevolent intention, who knows, but certainly now the WHO is a force that needs to be confronted, and fundamentally destroyed (if I may say so myself).
The organization today is headed by Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus (Director-General) who has been around as such since 2017. Tedros has a bit of a colourful history and seems strange, to me at least (and to Horton), that he was elected to hold this post by the World Health Assembly twice. He is not a medical doctor, but also held the post as the minister of health in Ethiopia for many years.
According to Breitbart, Tedros is as good as being Chinese considering, according to this news source, to be so wrapped up in China and Chinese politics that he may as well be in their pocket, along with the whole of WHO. Former POTUS Donald Trump seemed to have come to similar conclusions and started the process of pulling US money out of WHO in July of 2020. As with most Trump decisions, many Trump haters had a field day with this, causing, as one example, Democrat Bob Menendez of New Jersey to say: “This won't protect American lives or interests — it leaves Americans sick & America alone.” Really?
Some actually say that the WHO is a military organization, and that their prime goal has very little to do with the health of the world, but more to do with global domination. What better way to acquire world dominance than through a benevolent and altruistic facade proclaiming its purpose is to help people through the management of health and the destruction of disease? What better way to gain the trust of billions of frightened people?
With recent proposals such as the International Treaty on Pandemic Prevention, Preparedness and Response, the WHO as an organization is in the position to wield more power in the global arena than any government has ever enjoyed. All this power coming from a handful of unelected officials—power enough to destroy the sovereignty of all nations, not to mention the destruction of any sort of “people’s representation” through the democratic process.
The fear generated by the recent “Covid event” set the WHO up for easy passage of this treaty, which has to be approved by nations before it is implemented (there are currently 194 member countries of the WHO).
To add even more suspicion to this already suspicious organization, guess who is more than likely its number one financial backer? Bill Gates! Who else? According to a September 6, 2021 article by Joseph Mercola:
. . . Bill Gates is still the No. 1 funder, contributing more to WHO’s $4.84 billion biennial budget than any member-state government. As revealed in a preview copy I received of Vax-Unvax, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s new book, which will be released in November 2023, ‘Gates has used his money strategically to infect the international aid agencies with his distorted self-serving priorities. The U.S. historically has been the largest direct donor to WHO.’
Apparently in 2021 (when the Mercola article was written) the WHO claimed that Germany was their #1 contributor, shoveling 1.268 billion into their coffers, with The Bill & Melinda Gates foundation a distant #2 at 751 million. The above article implies that Billy has other ways to get money into the organization, but that seems to be mere speculation.
There is so much going on here it requires much greater scrutiny (this is only a taste). Suffice it to say that Horton really would like for all of you to look into this very carefully if you have not already. The World Health Assembly adopted the International Health Regulations in 1969 (updated in 2005 and is currently under review for amendments). The IHR consists of legally binding rules, which govern world health. The WHO has been empowered by the IHR as its surveillance body.
According to Hugh’s Newsletter substack, these proposed amendments “…surrenders national governments’ authority to an unelected world body, or to be more precise its chief,” the aforementioned Tedros, and the unelected world body is the WHO. Here is a list of proposed amendments:
Change from advisory to mandatory: Change the overall nature of the World Health Organization from an advisory organization that merely makes recommendations to a governing body whose proclamations would be legally-binding. (Article 1 and Article 42)
Potential rather than actual emergencies: Greatly expand the scope of the International Health Regulations (IHR) to include scenarios that merely have a “potential to impact public health.” (Article 2)
Disregard for dignity, human rights and freedoms: Seek to remove “respect for dignity, human rights and fundamental freedoms of people.” (Article 3)
Allocation plan: Give the Director General of the WHO control over the means of production through an “allocation plan for health products” to require developed states parties to supply pandemic response products as directed. (Article 13A)
Mandatory medical treatments: Give the WHO the authority to require medical examinations, proof of prophylaxis, proof of vaccine and to implement contact tracing, quarantine and treatment. (Article 18)
Global health certificates: Institute a system of global health, certificates in digital or paper format, including test certificates, vaccine certificates, prophylaxis certificates, recovery certificates, passenger locator forms and a traveller’s health declaration. (Articles 18, 23, 24, 27, 28, 31, 35, 36 and 44 and Annexes 6 and 8)
Loss of Sovereignty: Would empower the Emergency Committee to override decisions made by sovereign nations regarding health measures and would make the Emergency Committee’s decisions final. (article 44A)
Unspecified, potentially enormous financial costs: Redirect unspecified billions of dollars to the Pharmaceutical Hospital Emergency Industrial Complex with no accountability. (Article 44A)
Censorship: Greatly expand the World Health Organization’s capacity to censor what they consider to be mis-information and dis-information. (Annex 1, page 36)
Obligations of duty to cooperate: Creates an obligation to build, provide and maintain IHR infrastructure at points of entry. (Annex 10)

No wonder Horton Fears the WHO.
In the last three years I have changed 180 degrees my impression of the WHO. In the past, as a medical doctor and teacher of Epidemiology, the WHO definition of health and all of their policies would always be the examples shown to students as concepts to learn. As you say... Everyone would agree it was a good idea to have an international organization to promote the good health of the planet....
The WHO's response and role in the declaration of the "covid pandemic" has made me change my view. Tedros has a very questionable past. His declarations violate every known principle of good public health, starting with his ridiculous call for "testing-testing-testing". Anyone with rudimentary knowledge about Epidemiology knows that this is not the way to measure the occurrence or control any respiratory acute infectious disease. From day 1, I could never understand how my colleagues in medicine and public health would fall for such a ridiculous call. Then, it did not stop there. We are very aware of the atrocities you present in your article. I can neither understand how the leader of any sovereign nation would be in favor of giving the WHO power to mandate health policies of individual nations. The idea seems so absurd that I cannot understand how anyone would be in favor.
The WHO is a very dangerous organization.
Idi Amin, the blood thirsty dictator, was also a WHO director, it’s been an international joke for years.
