UN GATE, Nov 7 --
Billionaire Michael
Bloomberg, now
again
flaunting his
money as a way
to run for
or buy political
office,
has
long used the
United Nations
to promote
himself and
his idea. In
August 2019 however he
adopted the
censorship of
UN Sec-Gen
Antonio
Guterres, who
kept
him on as holdover
climate change
representative
without oversight or
disclosure.
So now with the
Alabama filing,
will
Bloomberg
belatedly have
to give up his
UN position
and fig leaf? Or
will Guterres,
already
corruption,
waive even
this?
In July when
invited Inner
City Press
accredited
media at
the IMF and Souther District
of New York and
elsewhere registered
for
Bloomberg's "Global
Business Forum" in
September
2019. It was
approved.
Then,
apparently
after Team
Bloomberg
consulted with
corrupt
Guterres' UN,
this: "Hello
Matthew,
We regret that
we are unable
to grant you a
press
credential for
the Bloomberg
Global
Business Forum
on September
25, 2019. Due
to limited
space, we are
not able to
accommodate
your request
this year...
If you would
like to
receive alerts
and news
releases, we
would be happy
to share
additional
information.
Best,
The GBF Team."
Inner
City Press immediately
replied: "This
is a formal
request that
you send all
information to
Inner City
Press,
including a
list of the
media the
Bloomberg GDF
*does* allow
in to cover
it. While
Inner City
Press has been
banned by the
UN for its
critical and
investigative
coverage, it
is accredited
at and
regularly
covers the US
Federal
courts, the
IMF, etc. So
since this
registration
was submitted
to Bloomberg
GDF at at the
earliest
possible time,
this is a
request to be
informed of
the basis of
non-accreditation
and a list, in
real time, of
which media
Bloomberg GDF
does allow in,
the basis and
criteria
used.
Please confirm
receipt and
provide all
information.
Thank you in
advance."
Days later, a
response:

funca Hi
Matthew,
We do not
disclose the
criteria
required nor
the list of
media who are
approved to
attend the
Bloomberg
Global
Business
Forum. But, do
to extreme
space
constraints,
we are unable." Do
to? And what
kind of
organization
refuses to disclose
its criteria?
We'll have
more on this.
The UN
of Antonio
Guterres hit a
new low on
July 26. After
roughing up
and banning Inner
City Press,
now 389 days,
and refusing
to answer its
written
questions
below, the UN
noon briefing
on July 26 had
not a single
in-person question.
Not one.
Transcript here;
"That’s it
from me. Are
there any
questions?
All
right.
Over to you,
Monica."
