Genocide Games Opposed By Paid Ad in NYT But UN Left Amorphous With Guterres Off The Hook, Stormy

By Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon Maxwell Book
BBC - Guardian UK - Honduras - Song - Review

LITERARY UN GATE, Jan 31 -- It was GG minus 4, that is, four days before China's Genocide Games, and Guterres issued a craven video including:

"I thank China and the Chinese people for your commitment to multilateralism and to the United Nations.     I count on your continuous support and cooperation... Soon, I will attend the opening of the Beijing Winter Olympics.     The Olympic spirit shines as a beacon to human solidarity and I look forward to safe and successful Games.  I wish you prosperity in the Year of the Tiger.     Xie Xie"

   The support Guterres wanted was like China Energy Fund Committee overbidding on the oil company of the Gulbenkian Foundation, payments from which Guterres omitted from his financial disclosures.

   The mutual prosperity he wished for involved the mutual rip off of African countries and communities: rare earth for China, money fund to siphon for Guterres, both in exchange for supporting long time dictators like Paul Biya and Obiang, et al.

   Kurt recorded a piece of the UN video with this phone, with voice over, and put it online. Time was growing short and the collusion of corporate media seem inexorable. Ad with snowboard Shaun White on NBC, Reuters with woke stories about particular athletes, nothing about genocide.

   Meanwhile on the Avenatti beat, over the weekend there continued a stream of pleadings and rulings from Judge Furman. Kurt wrote each of them up, and put links to the stories on top of his fast-written Avenatti Sistine Stormy song. Here too there was some shoot back, that an "impartial journalist" should not put out such a song, or only on his personal account.

   The song was mostly just quotes from the surreal cross-examination. But Kurt was tempted to reply, Impartial like Anderson Cooper who hooked Avenatti up with the Stormy Daniels book deal? Objective like these mounting genocide cover-up stories?

   The only way the New York Times covered it, it seemed, was when someone paid big money to take out a paid ad, with the Olympic Circles made of razor wire. Even that the captions was that "The UN" should invoke the Genocide Convention.

  Who was "the UN"? It was so amorphous as to be meaningless. Of course the UN Security Council would do nothing - China had and has a veto on it. The UN Human Rights Council is a travesty, dictators rubber stamping each others' reports. Not only was Guterres not mentioning the Genocide Convention or genocide - he was bragging about going to the Genocide Games. So began the week leading up to the #GenocideGamesOfGuterres.



Follow-up to Belt and Roadkill: Genocide Games of Guterres.

From January 21, 2022: UNSG Antonio Guterres:  This visit to the Olympics is not a political visit. We consider that the Olympic Games are an extremely important manifestation in today's world of the possibility of unity, of the possibility of mutual respect, of the possibility of cooperation, of peoples of different cultures, of different religions, of different ethnicities. And this is more important than ever when we see xenophobia, when we see racism, when we see white supremacy, when we see anti‑Semitism, when we see anti‑Muslim hatred proliferating all over the world... That is the reason why I am going to the Olympic Games. And it has nothing to do with my opinions about the different policies that take place in the People's Republic of China.      

 Spokesman Dujarric:  Okay, sir, I think you're then off the hook.  

 Will Guterres be taking his Deputy Amina J. Mohammed, supportive of the killing and targeted detentions perpetrated by Buhari of Nigeria? See, Identity Thieves - and, forthcoming, Genocide Games of Guterres. For now, Belt and Roadkill.
