Honduras - The Source - The Root - etc

SDNY COURTHOUSE, Oct 20 – The hypocrisy of the UN of Antonio Guterres and the corruption of a president he partners with, Juan Orlando Herandez, was shown October 18 with the SDNY guilty verdicts against presidential brother Tony Hernandez.

  Back on February 8, 2018, Antonio Guterres had just typically sent a four person panel to Tegucigalpa to back up JOH: Marcie Mersky, Ana Catalina Soberanis, Mirna Cuenta  and Javier Cabreja.

  Inner City Press then still allowed into the UN noon briefing asked his spokesman: "on Honduras, what is the UN's role in Honduras?  It's reported that Mr. [Salvador] Nasralla is meeting with a team that was sent there.  Is the Government… who is it that's invited this mediation team of the UN, and what is its mandate? 

Deputy Spokesman Farhan Haq:  I don't have any particular details to share. Video here from 26:16.

  On the evening of October 19, Guterres while still having no comment as Inner City Press has requested for week on the trial or now verdict, after he has repeatedly tried to help cover up for JOH, was rattling around in the publicly funded $15 million he lives alone his, this evening with an unidentified young man. Outside were two big cars, including a Mercedes. Inner City Press, on bicycle, waited to ask the questions that Guterres' spokesman who is paid to answer questions refuses to answer.

 When Guterres came out, Inner City Press audibly asked for comment on the Honduras verdict, and why none was forthcoming on that, or Cameroon, or UN corruption. Guterres drove away in two limousines. Video here.

  UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres is so corrupt he does not answer any critics; in fact, he had Inner City Press physically roughed up by his Security and banned from entering the UN for 472 days and counting. During that time Guterres supposed JOH's second term, and as the evidence of drug trafficking grew, spoke with JOH only about... climate change. This is corruption.

 Tony Hernandez will now be sentenced on January 17, and 2:30 pm. Shouldn't Guterres be impeached by then, and that Press restored to how it covered the UN before ghoulish Guterres arrived?

  Inner City Press even before the verdict as the UN Spokespeople Stephane Dujarric and Melissa Fleming in writing, "October 18-1: On Honduras on which you have refused to answer or respond to Inner City Press' as it covers in SDNY the US v Tony Hernandez trial which continues jury deliberations today and has asked you why SG Guterres did not even bring up corruption and drug trafficking when he met president Juan Orlando Hernandez, 1) please immediately describe activities of the UN system and resident coordinator / representative on JOH's current terms and 2) what now are Guterres' belated comments and actions if any on that last night JOH's National Party majority in the Honduran parliament passed a law making itslef immune, and that Honduran police dispersed hundreds of demonstrators with tear gas on Wednesday in Tegucigalpa who demanded the resignation of President Juan Orlando Hernandez, suspected by the American courts of collaborating with the drug traffickers?"

  No answer all all. Total corruption. We'll have more on this.

 The trial began with a bang on October 2 with the charge that already life imprisoned El Chapo Guzman gave the defendant $1 million for this brother, the president. On October 7, sworn witness Alex Ardon described the meeting, with both El Chapo and Tony Hernandez present and the cash in plastic bags, see thread and see below.

The trial is before U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge P. Kevin Castel and Inner City Press is live tweeting it. See also Patreon here.

 And here the post arrest statement as so far put in to the jury, as uploaded to YouTube by Inner City Press, here. The case is US v. Diaz Morales, 15-cr-00379 (Castel).
