At
UN,
Censorship
& Trolling
Are Under

UNITED
NATIONS,
September 4 --
Who heads the
UN Censorship
Alliance in
2013?
The purported
power behind
the thrown as
we have shown
is Reuters
bureau chief
Louis
Charbonneau
who has taken
to spying for
the UN. (Story
here, audio
here, document
here).
One wonders
what Reuters
let
Charbonneau do
in his
previous
postings, in
terms of
getting (too)
close the
authorities he
was supposedly
covering.
But
in 2013 the
titular UNCA
president is
Pamela Falk of
CBS News. She
too is a
propagandist,
but quite an
amateur one.
Take a recent
example: Falk
tweeted her
own name as a
hashtag,
directing it
cravenly
to US
Ambassadors
Samantha
Power, Susan
Rice and the
UN
Spokesperson.
What was the
point?
Apparently to
show: I am out
here. I am
propagandizing
for you.
Under
Falk, UNCA
held a faux
"UN briefing"
by
Saudi-sponsored
Syria rebel
boss Jarba,
publicized
only to those
who paid money.
Inner City
Press, on
behalf of the
new Free
UN Coalition
for Access
@FUNCA_info
has asked the
UN at a noon
briefing: was
this really a
UN briefing?
But the UN has
refused to
answer.
Rather,
anonymous
social media
trolling
associated
with UNCA has
picked up, on
September 4.
The
idea seems to
be the the UN
Censorship
Alliance can
beat some
questions or
questioners
into
submission.
This was on
display on
September 4,
when a newly
re-admitted
journalist
asked
important
questions
about who used
chemical
weapons and
what the UN
would
consider.
The
response was a
long time UNCA
flunky,
described as a
Reuters
retiree,
trying to
block the
question, then
asking Ban
Ki-moon's
spokesperson
Farhan Haq,
"Who does she
work for?"
All
this happened
right in front
of Pamela
Falk. This is
UNCA in 2013,
and we will
have more on
this.
Ultimately not
only the other
Executive
Committee
members, but
more
importantly
the UN, are
responsible.
