Who Will Make It To The Perfect Square?
Research done by various Investigative Journalists show that:
1.Bill Gates and the queen-witch of England-elizabeth share a common genaelogy going back to the twenty-three generations or so
2. Bill Gates and the Rothchilds's do infact come from the same family tree going back to the seventh generation or so
3. Bill Gates is and has a direct Rockefeller DNA traced back to his thirteenth great-great-grandparents from his mother's side
Conclusion is drawn from thence that bill gates is and was always groomed to carry on and make the luciferian "One World" termed New World Order vision a reality and so keep it in the family,which family includes London's queen witch elizabeth.
If this is and has always been the plan as it is proven,can one say the anti-Christ has not been exposed?
The Bible does state that the anti-Christ will be a person not only the evil spirit and that he would be given powers by the governments of the world,leaders and satan-lucifer himself would give him powers.
The 2019 mass resignation of CEOs from global corporates including bill gates himself would not have been a coincidence but an accelleration of the NWO in light of the gap that has been openned. The gap cannot and maybe should not be concerntrated on one particular individual,country or organisation but rather its success has been made by the root of all evil which is the love of money as further evidence show that billions of rands and dollars have been making rounds exchanging hands to try and entice Afrika's leaders from as far back as 2016 with South Africa used as a "gateway" not only for "Business" as everyone has been lead to believe but for a most evil plan ever to be hatched in Davos and piloted on an Afrikan soil rendering the entire population guinea pigs viz. Mark of the Beast. It is then of no wonder why billgates has suddenly become a FREQUENT un-invited and unwelcome visitor on the Afrikan soil,rubbing shoulders with London's own "prepaid-president",cyril ramaphosa who has made it absolutey and perfectly clear that his priority,loyalty and concern is with his "friends-Investors", in the past two years since he has taken office through a coupe'de'tat after being parachuted by a more than one billion rands bribes to the number one seat of the African National Congress in december of 2017.
Whats In It for Ramaphosa,his Brother-In Law and the Rest of "Investor-Friends"?
Given the fact that cyril himself and his brother inlaw is not a billionaire but a front,probably with a lifetime contract, fronting for the oppenheimers, one doubts if he will himself make it to the perfect square as it is only reserved for the family,he would be dumped as soon as they are done using him and their definition of dump is only one way,remove him from the earth surface afterall george soros will not like sharing a space with a backstabbing monkey who sold the entire Afrikan Nation to luciferians for a lousy billion rands,not when soros has worked his entire life to capture the World through Afrika's ill-gotten Minerals and Money all the while having the backing and mandate from the queen-witch itself.

Specialised agencies Edit
See also: List of specialized agencies of the United Nations
The specialized agencies of the United Nations are autonomous organizations working within the United Nations System, meaning that while they report their activities to the Economic and Social Council, they are mostly free to their own devices. Each individual agency must negotiate with the Council as to what their relationship will look and work like. This leads to a system where different organizations maintain different types of relationships with the Council.[12][13] Some were created before the United Nations existed and were integrated into the system, others were created by the League of Nations and were integrated by its successor, while others were created by the United Nations itself to meet emerging needs.[citation needed]

Controversies
IAEA – Agreement WHA 12–40
Alexey Yablokov (left) and Vassili Nesterenko (farthest right) protesting in front of the World Health Organization headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland in 2008.
Demonstration on Chernobyl disaster day near WHO in Geneva
In 1959, the WHO signed Agreement WHA 12–40 with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). A selective reading of this document (clause 3) can result in the understanding that the IAEA is able to prevent the WHO from conducting research or work on some areas, as seen hereafter. The agreement states here that the WHO recognizes the IAEA as having responsibility for peaceful nuclear energy without prejudice to the roles of the WHO of promoting health. However, the following paragraph adds:[128]
“ whenever either organization proposes to initiate a programme or activity on a subject in which the other organization has or may have a substantial interest, the first party shall consult the other with a view to adjusting the matter by mutual agreement. ”
The nature of this statement has led some pressure groups and activists (including Women in Europe for a Common Future) to claim that the WHO is restricted in its ability to investigate the effects on human health of radiation caused by the use of nuclear power and the continuing effects of nuclear disasters in Chernobyl and Fukushima. They believe WHO must regain what they see as "independence".[128][129][130] However, as pointed out by Foreman[131] in clause 2 it states:
“ 2. In particular, and in accordance with the Constitution of the World Health Organization and the Statute of the International Atomic Energy Agency and its agreement with the United Nations together with the exchange of letters related thereto, and taking into account the respective co-ordinating responsibilities of both organizations, it is recognized by the World Health Organization that the International Atomic Energy Agency has the primary responsibility for encouraging, assisting and co- ordinating research and development and practical application of atomic energy for peaceful uses throughout the world without prejudice to the right of the World Health Organization to concern itself with promoting, developing, assisting and co-ordinating international health work, including research, in all its aspects. ”
Clearly suggesting that the WHO is free to do as it sees fit on nuclear, radiation and other matters which relate to health.
West Nile experiments
A field experiment in the West Nile district allowed researchers to take blood from children 3 times a day, to allegedly study a local disease causing mononucleosis. It has been alleged they were actually being infected with contaminated polio vaccines and their antibodies were being studied. Around 45,000 were tested from 1960 to 1973.[132]
Ebola and HIV experimentation
It has been alleged that the WHO was aware of a Dr. Hilary Koprowski, a doctor allegedly performing research on AIDS and Ebola by deceiving and infecting Africans with a faux polio vaccine. It was estimated that over a million Africans were infected from 1954 to 1957.[128] However, his work having been the cause of any disease has been refuted.[133]
Roman Catholic Church and AIDS
Main article: Roman Catholic Church and AIDS
In 2003, the WHO denounced the Roman Curia's health department's opposition to the use of condoms, saying: "These incorrect statements about condoms and HIV are dangerous when we are facing a global pandemic which has already killed more than 20 million people, and currently affects at least 42 million."[134] As of 2009, the Catholic Church remains opposed to increasing the use of contraception to combat HIV/AIDS.[135] At the time, the World Health Assembly President, Guyana's Health Minister Leslie Ramsammy, has condemned Pope Benedict's opposition to contraception, saying he was trying to "create confusion" and "impede" proven strategies in the battle against the disease.[136]
Intermittent preventive therapy
The aggressive support of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation for intermittent preventive therapy of malaria triggered a memo from the former WHO malaria chief Akira Kochi.[137]
Diet and sugar intake
Some of the research undertaken or supported by WHO to determine how people's lifestyles and environments are influencing whether they live in better or worse health can be controversial, as illustrated by a 2003 joint WHO/FAO report on nutrition and the prevention of chronic non-communicable disease,[138] which recommended that free sugars should form no more than 10% of a healthy diet. The report led to lobbying by the sugar industry against the recommendation, to which the WHO/FAO responded by including the following statement in the report: "The Consultation recognized that a population goal for free sugars of less than 10% of total energy is controversial". It also stood by its recommendation based upon its own analysis of scientific studies.[139] In 2014, WHO reduced recommended free sugars levels by half and said that free sugars should make up no more than 5% of a healthy diet.[140]
2009 swine flu pandemic
Main article: 2009 flu pandemic
In 2007, the WHO organized work on pandemic influenza vaccine development through clinical trials in collaboration with many experts and health officials.[141] A pandemic involving the H1N1 influenza virus was declared by the then Director-General Margaret Chan in April 2009.[142] Margret Chan declared in 2010 that the H1N1 has moved into the post-pandemic period.[143]
By the post-pandemic period critics claimed the WHO had exaggerated the danger, spreading "fear and confusion" rather than "immediate information".[144] Industry experts countered that the 2009 pandemic had led to "unprecedented collaboration between global health authorities, scientists and manufacturers, resulting in the most comprehensive pandemic response ever undertaken, with a number of vaccines approved for use three months after the pandemic declaration. This response was only possible because of the extensive preparations undertaken during the last decade".[145]
2013–2016 Ebola outbreak and reform efforts
Following the 2014 Ebola outbreak in West Africa, the organization was heavily criticized for its bureaucracy, insufficient financing, regional structure, and staffing profile.[146]
An internal WHO report on the Ebola response pointed to underfunding and the lack of "core capacity" in health systems in developing countries as the primary weaknesses of the existing system. At the annual World Health Assembly in 2015, Director-General Margaret Chan announced a $100 million Contingency Fund for rapid response to future emergencies,[147][148] of which it had received $26.9 million by April 2016 (for 2017 disbursement). WHO has budgeted an additional $494 million for its Health Emergencies Programme in 2016–17, for which it had received $140 million by April 2016.[149]
The program was aimed at rebuilding WHO capacity for direct action, which critics said had been lost due to budget cuts in the previous decade that had left the organization in an advisory role dependent on member states for on-the-ground activities. In comparison, billions of dollars have been spent by developed countries on the 2013–2016 Ebola epidemic and 2015–16 Zika epidemic.[150]
FCTC implementation database
The WHO has a Framework Convention on Tobacco implementation database which is one of the few mechanisms to help enforce compliance with the FCTC.[151] However, there have been reports of numerous discrepancies between it and national implementation reports on which it was built. As researchers Hoffman and Rizvi report "As of July 4, 2012, 361 (32·7%) of 1104 countries' responses were misreported: 33 (3·0%) were clear errors (e.g., database indicated “yes” when report indicated “no”), 270 (24·5%) were missing despite countries having submitted responses, and 58 (5·3%) were, in our opinion, misinterpreted by WHO staff".[152]
IARC controversies
Further information: International Agency for Research on Cancer
The World Health Organization sub-department, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), has been criticized for the way it analyses the tendency of certain substances and activities to cause cancer and for having a politically motivated bias when it selects studies for its analysis. Ed Yong, a British science journalist, has criticized the agency and its "confusing" category system for misleading the public.[153] Marcel Kuntz, a French director of research at the French National Centre for Scientific Research, criticized the agency for its classification of potentially carcinogenic substances. He claimed that this classification did not take into account the extent of exposure: for example, red meat is qualified as probably carcinogenic, but the quantity of consumed red meat at which it could become dangerous is not specified.[154]
Controversies have erupted multiple times when the IARC has classified many things as Class 2a (probable carcinogens) or 2b (possible carcinogen), including cell phone signals, glyphosate, drinking hot beverages, and working as a barber.[155]
Taiwanese membership and participation
Between 2009 and 2016 Taiwan was allowed to attend WHO meetings and events as an observer but was forced to stop due to renewed pressure from China.[156]
Political pressure from China has led to Taiwan being barred from membership of the WHO and other UN-affiliated organizations, and in 2017 to 2020 the WHO refused to allow Taiwanese delegates to attend the WHO annual assembly.[157] On multiple occasions Taiwanese journalists have been denied access to report on the assembly.[158]
In May 2018, the WHO denied access to its annual assembly by Taiwanese media reportedly due to demands from China.[159] Later in May 172 members of the United States House of Representatives wrote to the Director General of the World Health Organization to argue for Taiwan's inclusion as an observer at the WHA.[160] The United States, Japan, Germany, and Australia all support Taiwan's inclusion in WHO.[161]
Pressure to allow Taiwan to participate in WHO increased as a result of the 2019–2020 coronavirus pandemic with Taiwan's exclusion from emergency meetings concerning the outbreak bringing a rare united front from Taiwan's diverse political parties. Taiwan's main opposition party, the KMT, expressed their anger at being excluded arguing that disease respects neither politics nor geography. China once again dismissed concerns over Taiwanese inclusion with the Foreign Minister claiming that no-one cares more about the health and wellbeing of the Taiwanese people than China's central government.[162] During the outbreak Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau[163] voiced his support for Taiwan's participation in WHO, as did Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.[156] In January 2020 the European Union, a WHO observer, backed Taiwan's participation in WHO meetings related to the coronavirus pandemic as well as their general participation.[164]
In an 2020 interview, assistant director-general Bruce Aylward appeared to dodge a question about Taiwan and when the question was repeated, the connection was "cut off" blaming internet connection issues.[165] When the video chat was restarted, he was asked another question about Taiwan but he claimed to have already answered the question and formally ended the interview.[166] Furthermore, WHO then attempted to reduce their association with Aylward and subsequently erased his page on their website, redirecting visitors to the page to a general leadership page.[167]
Travel expenses
According to The Associated Press, the WHO routinely spends about $200 million a year on travel expenses, more than it spends to tackle mental health problems, HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria combined. In 2016, Margaret Chan, Director-General of WHO from November 2006 to June 2017,[168] stayed in a $1000-per-night hotel room while visiting West Africa.[169]
Robert Mugabe's role as a goodwill ambassador
On 21 October 2017, the Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus appointed former Zimbabwean president Robert Mugabe as a WHO Goodwill Ambassador to help promote the fight against non-communicable diseases. The appointment address praised Mugabe for his commitment to public health in Zimbabwe.
The appointment attracted widespread condemnation and criticism in WHO member states and international organizations due to Robert Mugabe's poor record on human rights and presiding over a decline in Zimbabwe's public health.[170][171] Due to the outcry, the following day the appointment was revoked.[172]
Reactions to WHO response in 2019–20 COVID-19 outbreak
The WHO's handling of the epidemic has come under criticism amidst what has been described as the agency's "diplomatic balancing act" between "China and China's critics," including scrutiny of the relationship between the agency and Chinese authorities.[173] Initial concerns included the observation that while WHO relies upon data provided and filtered by member states, China has had a "historical aversion to transparency and sensitivity to international criticism".[174] While the WHO and some world leaders have praised the Chinese government's transparency in comparison to the 2003 SARS outbreak,[175] others including John Mackenzie of the WHO's emergency committee and Anne Schuchat of the US' CDC have shown skepticism, suggesting that China's official tally of cases and deaths may be an underestimation. Other experts, including David Heymann, professor of infectious disease epidemiology at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, have said in response to skepticism on transparency that "China has been very transparent and open in sharing its data … they’re sharing it very well and they opened up all of their files with the WHO present."
In response to the criticisms, Director-General Tedros has stated that China "doesn't need to be asked to be praised. China has done many good things to slow down the virus. The whole world can judge. There is no spinning here,"[176] and further stating that "I know there is a lot of pressure on WHO when we appreciate what China is doing but because of pressure we should not fail to tell the truth, we don't say anything to appease anyone. It's because it's the truth."[177]
Some observers have accused the WHO of being unable to risk antagonizing the Chinese government, as otherwise the agency would not have been able stay informed on the domestic state of the outbreak and influence response measures there, after which there would have "likely have been a raft of articles criticizing the WHO for needlessly offending China at a time of crisis and hamstringing its own ability to operate."[177] Through this, experts such as Dr. David Nabarro have defended this strategy in order "to ensure Beijing's co-operation in mounting an effective global response to the outbreak".[178] Osman Dar, director of the One Health Project at the Chatham House Centre on Global Health Security defended the WHO's conduct, stating that the same pressure was one "that UN organisations have always had from the advanced economies."[173]
The inclusion of the "Taiwan region" in the WHO's daily situation reports, which resulted in Taiwan receiving the same WHO "very high" risk rating as the mainland despite only a having a relatively small number of cases on the ROC-governed island has led to protests by Taiwan who says that the rating has led to it receiving travel bans as a result.[179][180] Further concerns regarding Taiwan's non-member status in the WHO has been on the effect this has on increasing Taiwan's vulnerability in the case of an outbreak in the country without proper channels to the WHO. In response, the WHO has said that they "have Taiwanese experts involved in all of our consultations ... so they're fully engaged and fully aware of all of the developments in the expert networks."[181]
The controversy was furthered when Canadian WHO epidemiologist Bruce Aylward, head of the WHO's 2019-2020 Coronavirus response team, refused to answer questions from a Hong Kong-based reporter about Taiwan's response to the pandemic and inclusion in the WHO, leading to accusations about China's political influence over the international organization.[182][183]

The Council serves as the central forum for discussing international economic and social issues and formulating policy recommendations addressed to member states and the United Nations system.[1] A number of non-governmental organizations have been granted consultative status to the Council to participate in the work of the United Nations. Over 1600 non-governmental organisations have consultative status with the council.[2]
It holds one four-week session each year in July, and since 1998, it has also held an annual meeting in April with finance ministers heading key committees of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
High-level political forum (HLPF) is meeting under the auspices of ECOSOC every year in July. The national reviews of progress in implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (Voluntary national reviews) are presented and serve as a basis for the reviews by HLPF

Consultative Status to the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) is the highest status granted by the United Nations to non-governmental organizations (NGO's), thereby allowing them to participate in the work of the United Nations. Consultative Status is divided into three categories:
General Consultative Status (formerly Consultative Status 1), the highest level, which may be granted to organizations that are concerned with most of the activities of the Council, that are making substantive and sustained contributions in many fields, with a considerable membership, and that are broadly representative of major segments of society in a large number of countries. These organizations are entitled to deliver oral presentations during the Council's meetings.
Special Consultative Status (formerly Consultative Status 2), which may be granted to organizations concerned with only a few of the fields of activity covered by the Council
Roster, which are "other organizations that do not have general or special consultative status but that the Council, or the Secretary-General of the United Nations in consultation with the Council or its Committee on Non-Governmental Organizations, considers can make occasional and useful contributions to the work of the Council."
Twice a year, the United Nations Committee on Non-Governmental Organizations reviews new applications for consultative status and makes recommendations to the ECOSOC, which reviews and decides to approve or deny the recommendations. Consultative Status, depending on level, gives the organizations a number of rights to participate in the work of the UN, to present their views and deliver testimony.[1]
The first time that non-governmental organizations were granted consultative status was in 1946, when 41 organizations were chosen.[2] By 1996, over 1000 NGO's were granted consultative status, and by the year 2000, there were 2050.[3]
As of July 2018, there are a total of 5,081 organizations in consultative status with ECOSOC. There are 134 organizations in general consultative status, 3,974 in special consultative status and 973 on the Roster.[4]
The UN also maintains a database through which the current set of organizations in consultative status can be accessed.[5] A list of all of the organizations, in pdf format, is also available

Signature
Tedros joined the Ministry of Health in 1986, after graduating from the University of Asmara.[4] An internationally recognized malaria researcher,[4] as Minister of Health, Tedros received praise for a number of innovative and system-wide health reforms that substantially improved access to health services and key outcomes.[5] Amongst them were hiring and training roughly 40,000 female health extension workers, cutting infant mortality from 123 deaths per 1,000 live births in 2006 to 88 in 2011, and increasing the hiring of health cadres including medical doctors and midwives.[6] In July 2009, he was elected Board Chair of The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria for a two-year term.[7]
Tedros was elected as Director-General of the World Health Organization by the World Health Assembly on 23 May 2017,[3][8][9] becoming the first director-general who is not a medical doctor.[10] He took office for a five-year term on 1 July 2017.
Tedros has overseen the WHO management of the Kivu Ebola epidemic and 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic. He made early trips to both the Democratic Republic of Congo and China during the outbreaks.[11] While long calling on countries to take greater action,[12] he has also faced criticism for the WHO's handling of the coronavirus outbreak, including a late declaration of the disease as a pandemic.[13][14]
Early life and education
Tedros was born in 1965 in Asmara,[15] Eritrea, to Adhanom Gebreyesus and Melashu Weldegabir. The family originated from the Enderta awrajja of the province of Tigray and, as a child, he recalls being "fully cognizant of the needless suffering and deaths" caused by malaria.[7] In 1986 he received his Bachelor of Science (BSc) degree in Biology from the University of Asmara[16] and joined the Ministry of Health of the Derg as a junior public health expert.[17]
After the fall of Mengistu Haile Mariam, Tedros returned to university to pursue a Master of Science (MSc) degree in Immunology of Infectious Diseases from the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine[4] at the University of London. He subsequently received a PhD in community health from the University of Nottingham in 2000, for research investigating the effects of dams on the transmission of malaria in the Tigray region of Ethiopia.[18]
Early career
Head of the Tigray Regional Health Bureau
In 2001, Tedros was appointed head of the Tigray Regional Health Bureau.[4] As head of the bureau, Tedros was credited with making a 22.3% reduction in AIDS prevalence in the region, and a 68.5% reduction in meningitis cases. He oversaw a campaign to improve ICT access that installed computers and internet connectivity to most of the region's hospitals and clinics, whereas they had not been connected before.[19] Health care staffing was increased by 50%.[19] Immunization for measles was raised to 98% of all children and total immunisation for all children under 12 months was raised to 74%.
The percentage of government funding for the Tigray Regional Health Bureau was increased to 65%, with foreign donors' percentage falling to 35%. Overall, 68.5% of the population was provided with health care services within 10 km.[19]
State Minister for Health
In late 2003 he was appointed a State Minister (deputy minister) for Health and served for just over a year.[20] It was during this time he started crafting his ambitious[according to whom?] health reform agenda.
Minister of Health (2005–2012)
Minister of Foreign Affairs (2012–2016)
World Health Organization Director-General
Awards and Publications
A globally recognized malaria researcher, Tedros has co-authored numerous articles on this subject and other global health issues in prominent scientific publications, including Annals of Tropical Medicine and Parasitology, The Lancet, Nature and Parasitologia and the British Medical Journal. His seminal work earned him the distinction of Young Investigator of the Year from the American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, and in 2003 he received the Young Public Health Researcher Award from the Ethiopian Public Health Association. In 2011, Tedros became the first non-American recipient of the Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter Humanitarian Award conferred by the US National Foundation of Infectious Diseases. In 2012, he received the prestigious Honorary Fellowship from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and the Stanley T. Woodward Lectureship, Yale University. He also received the Women Deliver Award for Perseverance for his tireless efforts to improve the lives of women and girls at the fourth Women Deliver Conference on 19 May 2016. In October 2018, he was awarded an honorary Doctorate of Medicine by Umeå University in Sweden, where he had taken courses as part of his PhD studies in 1997. A similar honour was bestowed by Newcastle University in 2019.[81]
