Ban
Ki-moon's Schedules Not on UN
Website, Spox Dujarric Falsely Tells ICP
They Are, Cover Up
By Matthew

UNITED NATIONS,
January 26 – Ban Ki-moon left
the UN on December 31, after
dodging Press questions about
corruption and, in fact,
evicting and restricting Inner
City Press.
Tellingly
Ban's first move was to take
legal action against the
press. Before he left, he
named his own son in law Siddarth
Chatterjee to the top UN
top in Kenya.
In South
Korea, Ban Ki-moon's campaign
is in trouble, as his long
decade of corruption and
censorship are exposed (see this week's
Sisa Journal, and this
in English from Hankyoreh the
week before, including
Inner City Press' reporting on
Ban's brother Ban Ki-moon mining
in Myanmar, listed by
the government as part of a
"UN delegation").
Ban's UN
spokespeople repeatedly told
Inner City Press that Ban was
"all UN" until January 1. But
now Ban has said he decided in
December. On January 25, Inner
City Press asked Ban's lead UN
spokesman Stephane Dujarric, UN transcript
here and below.
And on
January 26, when Inner City
Press asked about efforts to
ascertain with whom Ban met,
using the UN, spokesman
Dujarric claimed that daily
schedules which are taken
offline are in fact online. Video here. From the UN transcript:
Inner City
Press: there are some in
the South
Korean media asking to
know where it's available to
find the daily schedules that
are put up every day.
Are they just thrown out, or
is there some repository of
who met with the
Secretary-General…?
Spokesman: Well, I'm
glad you're… you've asserted a
role as the Spokesman for the
South Korean media but they
can look on the website, and
everything should be archived.
Where? Meanwhile,
Dujarric threatened Sisa
Journal in South Korea for its
reporting (he said it wasn't a
threat.)
