    I was thinking of the World Trade Organization for enslaving poor people in dictatorships. The World Health Organization is also a shit organization, not in that way though, but these us created international oganizations work in tandem to police sovereign countries out of their rights. This is not the first plant the WHO has illegalized, or tried to illegalize. Kratom has been targeted, unsuccessfully, under dishonest arguments put forward by the US that failed to schedule it here with those arguments for instance.

      US created? What a load of horse shit.

      During the 1945 United Nations Conference on International Organization, Szeming Sze, a delegate from the Republic of China, conferred with Norwegian and Brazilian delegates on creating an international health organization under the auspices of the new United Nations.


      The first meeting of the World Health Assembly finished on 24 July 1948, having secured a budget of US$5 million (then £1,250,000) for the 1949 year. G. Brock Chisholm [Canadian] was appointed director-general of the WHO, having served as executive secretary and a founding member during the planning stages,[22][19] while Andrija Štampar [Croatian] was the assembly’s first president.
