After US Drone Strike On Soleimani
UNSC Paralysis As UN Guterres Bans Press
551st Day
By Matthew

UN GATE, Jan 5 –
On
Iraq, yet
another
country in
which the UN
system of Antonio
Guterres is
corrupt (see
below UNESCO
exclusive from
Inner City
Press which
Guterres bans
from the UN
now for the 551st
day), Guterres on
November
28
had
a
canned
statement
through
equally
corrupt Stephane
Dujarric:
"The
Secretary-General
urges all
actors
to refrain
from violence
and to engage
in peaceful
and meaningful
dialogue for
the benefit of
Iraq and the
Iraqi people."
Now on Jan 5,
after
protests and
incursions at
and inside the
US Embassy
in Baghdad
and then drone
strike(s),
while
the UN not only
issued no read
out of
Guterres' call
with US Mike Pompeo,
but refused
each and every one of
Inner City Press' nine
written
questions,
entirely
corrupt,
notice
that the UN
Security
Council has
added "other matters"
to its
closed door meeting on
January 6.
But be honest:
nothing can come
out of it,
given the UNSC veto
system, just
as on China's
abuses in
Xinjiang, and
France's
support of
murdering colonialism
in Cameroon
and beyond.
The UN is
corrupt, it is
misreported by
the bought-off
media still
allowed in
by the censor
Guterres.
Worse, it is a
named-checked
cypher for those who
pretend to
care about
multilateralism
but have
allowed it to
turn into a
sinkhole of
Chinese bribes, while
covering up
rape of Africans
and Haitians
by
peacekeepers
while Guterres
cackled and
covers up. Inner
City Press will have
more on this.
Meanwhile,
US Sen.
Bernie Sanders
(I-Vt.) and
Rep. Ro Khanna
(D-Calif.)
issued the
following
statement
announcing the
introduction
of legislation
to prohibit
any funding
for offensive
military force
in or against
Iran without
prior
congressional
authorization.
The measure to
restrict funds
for such
military
activities
passed by a
bipartisan,
251-margin
vote in the
House of
Representatives,
but was later
stripped from
the National
Defense
Authorization
Act adopted by
Congress in
December...
And
from UN
Guterres, who
has been on
a publicly
funded junket
for weeks,
location
undisclosed?
Nothing.
Totally corrupt.
Following
the exclusive report
by Inner City
Press of May
26, the wind
of panic in
the Cabinet of
Azoulay is
blowing across
UNESCO.
In February
2018, only few
months after
the election
of the French
Director
General Audrey
Azoulay,
UNESCO
launched the
“Revive the
Spirit of
Mosul”
initiative ostensibly
to participate
in the
reconstruction
of this city,
after years of
war and
destruction.
This seemingly
noble
initiative was
in fact
a cover
up operation
of reinforcing French
influence in
Iraq in order
to secure
markets and
work for
French
companies. Inner
City Press, before
being roughed
up and
banned by Antonio
Guterres, can
trace this
all the way
back to
France's abstention
for BNP Paribas on
Iraq Oil for
Food.
The governing
bodies of
UNESCO must
remember that
it involves at
present a
number of
different
scandals with
regard to
Azoulay’s
administration
and a whole
series of
kickbacks and
schemes that
really make
problems for
the overall
credibility of
the
organization.
Still banned
Inner City
Press
will have more
on that.
