LITERARY
UN GATE, Feb 1 -- The
spin wars had begun, an Olympics
of propaganda. NBC, being
questioned in the US Congress
about paying Beijing to kill and
lock up Uighurs, tried to save
face with a segment phoned in not
from Xinjiang but Turkey, which
itself alternately used the Uighur
issue.
Kurt had been in the
United Nations when Turkey had
used the word genocide in
connection with Xinjiang since
the Uighurs were, after all,
Turkish people. Was the name
calling just a form of
expansionism? It soon died down.
And even then China was getting
more and more aggressive in the
UN, awaiting it final conquest
under Guterres.
When the UN of Ban
Ki-moon muttered about the then
and now Myanmar military
government screwing its citizens
after Hurricane Nargis, the
Chinese Deputy told Kurt, How is
this different than what the US
did in Katrina? Or the French
doctors who went on vacation
while old people died of heat in
Paris in August?
Stories were coming out,
though: the AI firm iFlytech,
adept in tracking Uighurs, would
be on Guterres' phone while Big
Tony was in the closed loop. For
now, looking forward to February
1, Guterres only piece of work
was to swear in another American
as head of UNICEF. This is how
he bought himself out of any
criticism by the US, a cheap
deal.
UN PGA Shahid, it was
entirely unclear where he was,
between Bahrain and Beijing.
Again, no questions were asked
of his spokesperson Paulina
Kubiak. Money for nothing.
As the Stormy Daniels
trial move to end game, Michael
Aveantti taking her money was
getting harder and harder to
defend. Judge Furman ruled that
Avenatti could only really get
into his "quantum meruit" / how
much is my work worth argument
if he chose to testify. But then
the prosecutors would get to
cross examine him, about his
conviction in the Nike case and
still pending charges in
California.
It's not fair, Avenatti
essentially said.
Kurt
felt the same, about the way
UN Security had stalked
and then grabbed and ousted
him. Somehow
they had known exactly when
he would show up by the Vienna
Cafe that
night to
question Cameroon's
Ambassador.
Kurt didn't have the
heart to go chase Avenatti
in the snow from the courthouse
to Federal Defender. Instead he
went to the Magistrates Court,
best day since the stalking
surprise of the Polish-Canadian
literary agent.
Today he got three cases,
one of them a Chinese money
laundering case. He NEF-ed that
one on PACER, to start getting
emailed notice of each twist and
turn in the case as he was
getting for Avenatti, and would
for 1MBD in Brooklyn, even if
the press was barred by COVID
from being in the courtroom.
COVID testing was looming
as one of China's weapons. Any
journalist or visitor who raised
the Uighur could simply be said
to have tested positive for
COVID and be made to disappear,
for two weeks or longer.
Would Guterres be tested?
Would he fail, as he had failed
the Uighurs and Cameroon's
Anglophones, IPOB and the
Rohingya?

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.
