SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Sept 22 – The day after US
President Joe Biden gave his
rambling speech in the UN
General Assembly Hall for
which no proof of vaccination
was required (a Brazilian
diplomat then tested positive
for COVID, something
covered-up by UN Secretary
General Antonio Guterres), on
September 2d US Department of
State held a press call, by
self-described Senior State
Department Officials.
Among the
questions was for the State
Department's position on South
Korean President Moon's
proposal that the Korean War
be declared over. The (VOA)
questioner added that Pentagon
spokesman Kirby had said the
US is open to it - but does he
speak for the whole
Administration? This question
was deemed off-topic. There
were so few questions they
called on a UN in-house
correspondent who has done
NOTHING about the UN
roughing up and banning
Inner City Press.
The focus was on
a climate change meeting of
the UN Security Council, whose
presidency this month,
Ireland, has refused to answer
Inner City Press' written
questions on Cameroon, Nigeria
and UN Peacekeepers' rapes.
Here is Secretary Blinken's
participation in the UN
Security Council open debate
on climate and security
scheduleed for September 23 -
unless NYC closes the UNGA
down.
(In the
downtown Manhattan courthouses
which Inner City Press covers
daily while banned from the
UN, Judge Larry Love on
September 22 lifted his TRO on
the City's vaccine mandate).
And what about
Guterres and his (American)
head of media accreditation
banning Inner City Press and
others, in favor of a small
group of disproportionately
state media and
retirees? Podcast here.
Inner City
Press wrote to the State
Department and US Mission to
the UN in August about this,
well in advance of the UNGA
High Level week. It cited the
law firm Quinn Emanuel's
letter to the UN and its
partners, video here
But no action, even as
Ambassador Linda
Thomas-Greenfield on September
20 gave a speech about sexual
violence, another issue on
which Guterres covers up the
UN's abuses.
Barks-Ruggles
declined to say if Blinken
will try to meet with his
French counter-part; on Iran
she said the UN will stick
with the Vienna format. There
was almost nothing about
Africa, much less Cameroon and
Nigeria or the coup in Guinea,
nor about Haiti.
But Inner City
Press will continue to pursue
all these issues - watch this
site.
