Paul Farmer, UN doctor: http://i.4cdn.org/pol/1521031941181.jpg

The Uses of Paul Farmer

A Harvard-educated doctor and public health expert, Farmer co-founded Partners In Health. As a tiny clinic in rural Haiti has grown into a medical complex and now a hospital, he’s innovated and delivered top-class healthcare to the poorest Haitians for three decades.

One reader left an ominous comment on the interview. “No disrespect to Dr. Farmer, as I believe he is sincere,” he wrote, “but he is now a part of the ‘machine’ that essentially drives Haiti.

A documentary filmmaker friend of mine went to the second fundraiser in East Austin – the one for the non-rich – the following night. Unprompted by me, he complained a few days later about how bad it was. He said it seems like they “parachute in” and produce “bad promo videos” about charities in Haiti and other poor countries. And yet that night, there was Farmer wrapping up his speech. He urged the assembled guests – influential Texas politicians and businessmen among them – to donate to Students of the World. Before I left, Farmer autographed a copy of his book for me. He said he’d flown all the way from Rwanda for the event. In the book, Farmer argues that humanitarian funding should be directed to Haiti’s public sector – the government – instead of to foreign charities. Groups like Students for the World are lambasted as haphazard and unaccountable to Haitians.

“Oh, he adores Clinton,” a senior member of Partner in Health, told me as our plane approached the Haitian coastline. “I don’t get it.”

I told her how disappointing it was when PIH had refused to sign on to a petition to protect Haiti’s displaced from forced evictions not long after the quake. She wasn’t surprised. The petition was addressed to Bill Clinton, the UN Envoy to Haiti, among other authorities. And Clinton is “close to Paul,” the petitioners were told by Donna Barry, PIH’s Advocacy and Policy Director.

To tie up a few loose ends about Partners in Health and show a direct link with the British intelligence services:

Co-founder Ophelia Dhal, daughter of Roald Dahl, says that he encouraged her to set up PIH https://www.pih.org/article/facebook-live-with-pih-co-founder-ophelia-dahl-september-7-at-11-am-est

Ophelia Dahl is the daughter of children’s book author Roald Dahl (James and the Giant Peach, Matilda, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, among others), and will discuss what it was like growing up with her father, talk about her favorite books and characters from his body of work, and share how he had an impact on the path she chose.

Roald Dahl: the man behind the magic

Dahl, eventually invalided from his flying duties in the RAF, also fell into the world of espionage while working as an assistant air attaché in Washington. In a role used to promote the British war effort in America (and counter to Nazi propaganda), Dahl found himself ensconced in the world of the British Security Coordination (BSC) - which represented both branches of the British secret services in the USA: MI6 and the Special Operations Executive.
