UNITED NATIONS
GATE, February 3 – At the UN
under Secretary General
Antonio Guterres there has
been entirely unaddressed bribery,
including offers of weapons
for oil by UN non governmental
organizations which Guterres
refuses to even audit - while
roughing
up and banning
the Press which asks him about
it. Now Inner City Press has reported
Guterres' failure to disclose
his role with Gulbenkian
Foundation which in 2018 was
trying to sell its Partex Oil
and Gas to CEFC - a direct
conflict of interest. But
Guterres continues on Twitter
with bland
wishes of solidarity - unlike
also CEFC linked UN world
envoy Jeffrey Sachs, who has
gone to ground after a dubious
denial. Now
after Sachs fled Twitter while
claiming he'd only attended a
lunch "catered" by oil company
CEFC China Energy, his
defenders on Weibo in China
have called Sachs the victim -
of censorship by Jack Dorsey's
Twitter. From Weibo (Google
translated) here:
"Jeffrey Sachs, a professor at
Columbia University in the
United States... his Twitter
account has been blocked." No,
Sachs fled. On 1 December
2018, before seven UN bribery
guilty verdicts against
Patrick Ho of China Energy
Fund Committee, Inner City
Press reported that Jeffrey
Sachs, a long time UN (part
time) official, was on a
CEFC-UN Advisory Board, and
tweeted the photograph, here.
On December 15
Sachs denied
it, saying it is absurd. Since then, Sachs'
@JeffDSachs account
has ceased to exist. Before this apparently
deletion,
Sachs said "I
attended an annual luncheon on
two occasions (1 per year)
hosted by the Chinese Gov for
UN Ambassadors, which CEPC
apparently catered. I
once went to a HK reception
Mr. Ho was present.
That's it." Really? China
Energy Fund Committee was more
than a caterer. Now that Sachs
has said he is
stepping back from
Twitter, here's from
Chinese state media:
"United Nations
Secretary-General
Antonio Guterres’
Special Adviser on the
Millennium Development
Goals, Jeffrey Sachs, said:
“The Belt and Road
Initiative is one of the
most important economic
development initiatives
in the history of
contemporary economics.
This initiative will
bring a great vision. Integration
through infrastructure
construction,
technological
innovation,
comprehensive economic
cooperation, and
humanities exchanges and
communication. This
initiative is full of
wisdom. It is not just a
construction project,
but a building for a
humanized platform to
promote peace and
cooperation between
Europe and Asia. Such an
initiative is
unprecedented." The article also
quotes Ambassador
Maria Chataldova,
Permanent
Representative of
the Czech Republic,
whose President
took CEFC's
Ye
Jianming as an
adviser.
(Inner City
Press reported
today on Ye
Jianming's
award in
Israel, bought
for $1
million.)
Sachs is still
listed
on the board
of Vuk Jeremic's NGO
CIRSD used to
do business
for CEFC, as is --
still! --
Cheikh Gadio.
Inner City
Press Ho trial coverage
here,
good background
before that here.
Sachs'
denials and disappearance show
more clearly than ever why an
audit of with whom CEFC has
dealt with at and through the
UN is necessary, and how
irresponsible or worse
Guterres is being. On December 17 Inner
City Press in
writing asked
Guterres and his
spokesman Stephane
Dujarric, "December
17-7: On CEFC in the
wake of the US v Ho
verdicts, this is a
request that the SG
confirm and act on the
other UN officials
depicted as advisers
to CEFC and its UN
program - including
Jeffrey Sachs, who has
over the weekend
online denied any such
role, stating he may
have attended a lunch
“catered” by CEFC.
Since this denial
shows the absolute
need for an audit at
least like the
previous SG did of Ng
Lap Seng's groups,
please state why the
SG has not even begun
such an audit." Five
hours later, Dujarric
had not answer this or
any other question
from banned
Inner City Press.
And those he allowed
in "his" briefing
room did not ask.

City Press has

role, here
