SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Sept 1 – Ghislaine Maxwell
used the United Nations, as
reported by Inner City Press
whose questions about it UN
Secretary General Antonio
Guterres refuses, see below.
On
September 1 to U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York Judge
Loretta A. Preska the US
Virgin Islands filed this
motion: "Virginia L. Giuffre,
Plaintiff, Case No.:
15-cv-07433-LAP v. Ghislaine
Maxwell, Defendant. / THE
GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED
STATES VIRGIN ISLANDS’ NOTICE
OF EX PARTE MOTION TO
INTERVENE AND FOR CONFIDENTIAL
ACCESS TO JUDICIAL RECORDS AND
DISCOVERY DOCUMENTS PLEASE
TAKE NOTICE THAT, upon the
pleadings and papers in this
matter, the accompanying
Memorandum of Law, and the
exhibit annexed thereto,
Proposed Intervenor the
Government of the United
States Virgin Islands (the
“USVI”) respectfully moves
this Court, before the
Honorable Loretta A. Preska,
for an order pursuant to
Federal Rule of Civil
Procedure 24 granting the
USVI’s motion to intervene and
for confidential access to
judicial records and discovery
documents. The grounds for
this motion are set forth in
the accompanying memorandum of
law. Dated: September 1,
2020."
In last August,
Judge Preska ruled on a
protocol: "In accordance with
Brown v. Maxwell, 929 F.3d 41,
49-51 (2d Cir. 2019), the
Court will conduct an
individualized review of each
Sealed Item in the List of
Decided Motions to determine
(a) the weight of presumption
of public access that should
be afforded to the document,
(b) the identification and
weight of any countervailing
interests supporting continued
sealing/redaction, and (c)
whether the countervailing
interests rebut the
presumption of public access.
To assist in this process and
afford persons identified or
otherwise interested in the
Sealed Materials the
opportunity to participate in
the Court’s individualized
review, the Court adopts the
following protocol.
1. Non-Parties
List: Plaintiff Virginia
Giuffre and Defendant
Ghislaine Maxwell
(collectively, the “Original
Parties”) each have submitted
under seal a list of
non-parties whose privacy,
reputational or other
interests may be implicated by
the unsealing of the Sealed
Materials (each, a
“Non-Party,” and collectively,
the “Non-Parties”).
Because the
Original Parties did not agree
on one or more Non-Parties to
be included in the list, the
Court has resolved all such
disagreements and shall issue
to the Original Parties a
Court-approved Non-Parties
List, which shall be sealed.
The Non-Parties shall include
but are not limited to: (a)
persons who produced or
answered discovery based upon
the representation or
understanding that the
discovery would be subject to
the Protective Order
previously issued in this
action; (b) persons who are
identified as having allegedly
engaged in sexual acts with
Plaintiff, or other alleged
victims, or allegedly
facilitated such acts; (c)
persons whose intimate,
sexual, or private conduct is
described in the Sealed
Materials; and (d) persons who
are alleged to have been
victimized.
The Non-Parties
List will: • Identify each
Non-Party by his or her name,
which correlates to a unique
pseudonymous identifier, i.e.,
Doe #1, Doe #2, and Doe #3.
• Provide the
address or contact information
for each Non-Party or his or
her legal counsel, which the
Original Parties identified to
the best of their ability. 2.
Judicial Adjudication: Because
of the volume of Sealed
Materials, the Court will
conduct an individualized
review of several Sealed Items
at a time, thereby allowing
the review to proceed on a
rolling basis and in a
manageable fashion. The Court
will review sealed items based
on the Non-Party mentioned in
the Sealed Materials. For
example, for Doe #1, the Court
would review each Sealed Item
that mentions Doe #1, and
would do the same for Does #2,
#3, etc. This will allow the
Court more easily to manage
and review any objections from
NonParties. The following
procedure shall be used for
each set of Sealed Items
reviewed by the Court: a. The
Court will notify the parties
via minute order
(“Notification”) of the set of
Sealed Items that will be
considered. The Court will
consider input from the
Original Parties as to the
number of Sealed Items that is
appropriate to consider at
once in light of the volume
and complexity of the Sealed
Items. b. As soon as
practicable after the
Notification the Original
Parties shall confer and shall
use their best efforts to
cause each Non-Party mentioned
in the Sealed Materials to be
considered to be served
confidentially with the
Non-Party Notice. The
Non-Party Notice is attached
to the original Order and
Protocol for Unsealing Decided
Motions (dkt. no. 1044) and
has been approved by the
Court. “Best efforts” entails
identifying the most current
address available for the
nonparty in a public records
database or other readily
available source. Service
shall be effected via first
class certified mail, return
receipt requested. After
service, the party causing the
service shall file a
certificate of service,
stating the date and method of
service and identifying the
Non-Party by his or her
pseudonymous identifier.
c. Within 14 days
of service of the Non-Party
Notice, a Non-Party,
identified by his or her
pseudonymous identifier, may
submit to the Court a request
for excerpts of the Sealed
Materials pertaining to him or
her (the “Excerpts”). The form
request attached to the
original Order and Protocol
for Unsealing Decided Motions
(dkt. no. 1044) has been
approved by the Court and
shall be attached to the
Non-Party Notice." We'll have
more on this.
First
Inner City Press showed that
on the board of Maxwell's
Terramar Project Inc. was
Guterres chief Partnerships
official, Amir Dossal, below.
Now while
UNEP official Lisa Svensson
appears in the documents
unsealed July 30 in the U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
which Inner City Press covers
since ousted
from the UN by Guterres for is
reporting, Inner City Press is
continuing its exclusive 2018
reporting in Svensson's "Volvo
Boating" and other scams at
UNEP, here,
where we published
in full, on Scribd and Patreon, the agreement
with Volvo Ocean
Races signed by
Erik Solheim, here,
and the EUR
500,000
agreement signed
by UNEP's Lisa
Emilia Svensson, here and here.
[Now, Aug 1,
2020 song here.]
From
the March 1,
2018 UN
transcript, four
months before
Guterres has
Inner City Press
physically ousted
from the UN:
Inner City
Press: I also
wanted to ask
you about UNEP
(United Nations
Environment
Programme).
Whistleblowers
there have
alleged a number
of
irregularities,
but the one that
caught my eye
and I've
published has to
do with the
allegation is
that UNEP, which
claims under Mr.
[Erik] Solheim
to have a number
of corporate
partnerships is,
in fact, in some
cases paying the
corporation for
the
partnership.
I.e., it's not a
partnership
like, you know,
Barcelona
Football Club
with UNICEF,
where they
pay. In
this case,
they're alleged
that, under Mr.
Solheim, the UN
Environment, as
it's now called,
is paying
$500,000 to
Volvo Ocean
Races. And
I wanted to know
is it… one, I
don't know if
it's true, but
they work there
and they have a
lot of names and
a lot of
information.
Spokesman:
I think you can
ask those
questions
directly of
UNEP. I
have no doubt
that Mr. Solheim
is operating and
running the
agency in
accordance to
all relevant
rules and
regulations."
Right.
Here's
from the letter:
"Dear Mr.
Solheim...
a D1, Lisa
Svensson can
work from
Europe, because
for personal
reasons she does
not wish to work
in
Nairobi.
Her big office
in Nairobi
remains vacant
with her name
and
organisational
equipment while
the same has to
be provided
again by another
office in
Europe.
She leads the
marine team
remotely as the
rest of the
staff under her
responsibility
are in Nairobi.
As
Inner City Press first
reported, long time UN
operative Amir Dossal, UNSG
Antonio Guterres' chief
Partnerships official who was
also his link to UN bribers
like Ng Lap Seng and Patrick
Ho of CEFC China Energy, was
on the board of directors of
Maxwell's shadowy Terramar.
Inner City Press first made
this link & published the
990. And here
is Dossal introducing Maxwell
as one of her nine visits to
the UN, here.
After the death of Jeffrey
Epstein in the MCC prison, on
July 2 Acting US Attorney for
the Southern District of New
York 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).
