Dr Tedros was heavily supported by the CCP when he ran for election to the position of the Director-General of the WHO in 2017. It’s understood that the CCP did considerable work behind the scenes to ensure that Dr Tedros would take the position in an election that saw Dr Tedros accused of covering up three separate cholera outbreaks when he was Ethiopia’s Health Minister.

If you’ve glanced at social media at any point in the last few weeks, there’s a high chance you’ve seen words to the effect of: “Don’t worry about covid-19 - it only affects old people.”
“Coronavirus shutdowns are horribly disruptive for most normal people. But maybe we should be getting used to it. After all, it’s everything the climate lobby has been demanding for years.”

ON THIS DAY: 25TH MARCH 1920: BLACK AND TANS ARRIVE IN IRELAND
The infamous and notorious Black and Tans will not be forgotten in Irish history. 100 years ago, the first tranche of them arrived from Britain, mainly recruited from the unemployed veterans of World War 1. They had 3 months training and their pay was ten shillings a day. Their ‘uniforms’ were mixed, some with Khaki pants, some with black pants and vice versa with jackets, there were different hats, belts, coats and boats; their mismatched uniform got them the name ‘irregulars’ but the name that has stuck with them most is Black and Tans. Though they served with the RIC, they never acted as policemen, their experience being in the trenches of World War 1. They did not have the experience or training to deal with ordinary civilian populations and assumed the role of an occupation army as the War of Independence was raging and the English authorities needed more ‘help’ controlling the natives. They were irregular in every sense of the word; there w
