SDNY / UN GATE,
Jan 1 – Ghislaine
Maxwell,
charged with
six counts of
sex
trafficking
and other
charges, was
late on
December 29
found guilty
on five of the
six counts.
Inner City
Press, which
pressed
for a public
call-in line
and unsealing of
exhibits throughout,
live tweeted
it here. Now

The day
after the
guilty verdict
for Jeffrey
Epstein's
procurer and
partner
Ghislaine
Maxwell, Inner
City Press
wrote to
Norway's
Mission to the
UN, whose
Ambassador
Mona Juul is
president of
the UN
Security
Council for
January 2022.
Juul
is also the
wife and
partner of
Terje
Roed-Larsen,
whose
International
Peace
Institute
connections to
Epstein Inner
City Press
exposed,
before it was
thrown
out of the
UN by UNSG
Antonio
Guterres (with
his
own
Maxwell links. Inner
City Press was
also removed
by IPI, here.)
Inner
City Press
again asked
Norway's UN
Mission about
these
connections,
including
Epstein's
$130,000
personal loan
to Roed-Larsen
(and at least
$650,000 in
grants to
IPI), and for
access to
Juul's January
4, 1 pm press
conference of
UNSC
President.
Two days later
there had been
no answer at
all - total
corruption.
Crown Princess
Mette-Marit of
Norway
cavorted with
Epstein long
after he
served time
for under-age
sex; the
Celina
Mildfart
connection was
testified to
at the Maxwell
trial.
So
this is
corrupting not
only Norway
and its UN
Mission, but
the UN
Security
Council. Inner
City Press
will have
more, much
more, on this.
Watch this
site.
On October 29
and again on November 12
Maxwell
and the US
Attorney's
Office for the
Southern
District of
New York filed
a flurry of
motions in
limine,
heavily
redacted; the
Government
argued that
trial exhibits
are not public
and will be
withheld.
Inner City
Press opposed
and opposes
the continued
secrecy. And
see DC op-ed here.
On
December 16,
after a three
day hiatus as
Judge Nathan
went to DC
seeking
2d Circuit seat,
Maxwell's
defense began,
with her executive
assistant
Cimerly Espinosa.

On
the afternoon
of December
17, the
defense rested,
and Ghislaine
Maxwell said
there was no
reason for her to
testify
because, she
said, the
government had
not proved its
case beyond
a reasonable
doubt,
after Eva
Dubin. Inner
City Press

tweeted here,

On
Saturday
December 18
Judge Nathan
held the
charging
conference, at
which references
to "the defendant"
were changed to
a more
Lady-like "Ms.
Maxwell" and
foreign travel
and the
word "minor"
were dropped and
replaced.

Press live tweeted

On
December 10,
leading up to
the US resting
of its case,
Annie Farmer
was cross
examined, then
her
ex-boyfriend
and mother
testified.

Again,
where is the
Press
opposition to
all this
sealing, and
the
decision-maker?
On October 18 the US
Attorney's Office opposed the
request, saying the the voir
dire questions should be asked
by Judge Nathan, and that
there should only be sidebars
on "sensitive questions such
as those that relate to sexual
abuse and media exposure."
Full letter on Patreon here.
In a
conference on October 21 on
that as scheduling issues,
Judge Nathan denied the
request to seal. Inner City
Press live tweeted it
here (podcast here)
On October 22 the
draft jury questionnaire was
unsealed and Inner City Press
has immediately published it
on its DocumentCloud here,
including "Have you or a
family member ever supported,
lobbied, petitioned,
protested, or worked in
any other manner for or
against any laws, regulations,
or organizations relating to
sex trafficking, sex crimes
against minors, sex abuse or
sexual harassment?" Photo here.
After the death of Jeffrey
Epstein in the MCC prison, on
July 2 Acting US Attorney for
the SDNY Audrey Strauss
announced and unsealed in
indictment of Maxwell on
charges including sex
trafficking and perjury.
Inner City Press went to her
press conference at the US
Attorney's Office and asked,
Doesn't charging Maxwell with
perjury undercut any ability
to use testimony from her
against other, bigger
wrong-doers? Periscope here
at 23:07.
Strauss
replied that it is not
impossible to use a perjurer's
testimony. But how often does
it work?
At 3:30 pm
on July 2 Maxwell appeared in
the U.S. District Court for
the District of New Hampsire,
before Magistriate Judge Andrea
K. Johnstone.
Inner City
Press live
tweeted it
here.
(Also
live tweeted
bail denial of
July 14, here.)
In
the July 3 media coverage of
Maxwell, media all of the
world used a video and stills
from it of Maxwell speaking in
front of a blue curtain, like
here.
What they
did not mention is something
Inner City Press has been
asking the UN about, as under
UNSG Antonio Guterres with his
own sexual exploitation issues
(exclusive video
and audio)
it got roughed up and banned
from the UN: Ghislaine Maxwell
had a ghoulish United Nations
press conference, under the
banner of the "Terramar
Project," here.
On July 5,
after some crowd-sourcing,
Inner City Press reported on
another Ghislaine Maxwell use
of the United Nations,
facilitated by Italy's
Permanent Representative to
the UN, UN official Nikhil
Seth and Amir Dossal,
who also let into the UN and
in one case took money from
convicted UN briber Ng Lap
Seng, and Patrick Ho of CEFC
China Energy, also linked to
UN Secretary General Antonio
Guterres.
At the
Ghislaine Maxwell UN event,
the UN Deputy Secretary
General was directly involved.
List of (some of)
the participants on Patreon here.
Inner City
Press has published a phone of
Maxwell in the UN with Dossal,
here. But the connection runs
deeper: Dossal with "25 years
of UN involvement" was on
Terrarmar's board of
directors, one of only five
directors, only three not
related to Maxwell by blood
and name.
The directors:
Ghislaine Maxwell, Christine
Malina-Maxwell, Steven Haft,
Christine Dennison and... Amir
Dossal. Inner City Press is
publishing this full 990 on
Patreon here.
Dossal has
operated through the UN Office
of Partnership, with Antonio
Guterres and his deputy Amina
J. Mohammed, here.
And the links to
the world of UN bribery,
including Antonio Guterres
through the Gulbenkian
Foundation, runs deeper. More
to follow.
Antonio Guterres
claims he has zero tolerance
for sexual exploitation, but
covers it up and even
participate in it. He should
be forced to resign - and/or
have immunity waived.
Terramar
has been dissolved, even
though Maxwell's former
fundraiser / director of
development Brian Yurasits
still lists the URL on his
(protected) Twitter profile,
also here.
But now
Inner City Press has begun to
inquire into Ghislaine
Maxwell's other United Nations
connections, starting with
this photograph of another
day's (or at least another
outfit's) presentation in the
UN, here.
While co-conspirator Antonio
Guterres has had Inner City
Press banned from any entry
into the UN for two years and
a day, this appears to be in
the UN Economic and Social
Council (ECOSOC) chamber.
We'll have more on this, and
on Epstein and the UN. Watch
this site.
The case
is US v. Maxwell, 20-cr-330
(Nathan).
