UN GATE / SDNY,
Dec 17 – Each day, the current
United Nations gets worse. We
have questioned Secretary
General Antonio Guterres
moving from concealing his
links to indicted pedophile
procurer Ghislaine Maxwell and
to UN briber CEFC China Energy
to banning the Press that
asks, also about failures on
Sri Lanka, Cameroon, Haiti,
Honduras (Narco President JOH)
& Nigeria (Nnamdi and
Igboho).
On December
17, while still banning Inner
City Press, Guterres named a
new chief of staff. It is
Courtenay Rattray, a man who
even before taking this
hatchet-man job was ALREADY
blocking Inner City Press on
Twitter, photo here.
This is the
UN of Guterres - a place of
censorship.
Guterres
had a representative on
Ghislaine Maxwell's Terramar
board of directors, one of
only five members of the
board: Amir Dossal. Inner City
Press asked about that, and
about Jeffrey Epstein's UN
fellowship. Not only wouldn't
Guterres answer - he had Inner
City Press roughed up and
banned, now 1353 days.
The
board members
of the UN
Correspondents
Association,
functioning it
seems as
Guterres'
partner in
banning Inner
City Press,
after dodging
its questions
about money
they took from
Chinese
government
briber Ng Lap
Seng's South
South News and
an UNCA
officer's
financial link
with an
accused war
criminal from
Sri Lanka,
have neither
responded to
or offered any
explanation
when a
lawyer's
letter from
the Quinn
Emanuel firm,
on ongoing pro
bono
engagement- to
each UNCA
Executive
Committee
member - urged
them to have a
dialogue about
ending the
UN's banning
and censorship
of Inner City
Press.
Now on
December 8,
amid the
Ghislaine
Maxwell trial
in the U.S.
District Court
for the
Southern
District of
New York
(Inner City
Press cited in
the Telegraph
and Sun,
and on radio)
UNCA is
raising money
selling access
to Guterres at
Cipriani at 25
Broadway, in
what some call
the
Pedophiles'
Ball.
After a full
day of
covering the
Maxwell trial,
Inner City
Press went
there, to seek
an answer from
Guterres. Live
stream from
Foley Square here;
1 hour stream
from outside
the
Pedophiles'
Ball here.
Inner City
Press greeted
US Ambassador
Jeffrey
DeLaurentis,
who knows
about
Guterres' ban
of the Press
but has done
nothing, and
commented on
the entry of
Saudi's
ambassador,
with craven
UNCA asking
nothing about
Jamal
Khashoggi.
But it emerged
that Guterres,
the guest of
honor access
to whom had
been sold,
would be a
no-show. Inner
City Press put
the question
of the new UN
child rape in
Gabon to
Guterres' head
of censorship
/
accreditation
Melissa
Fleming at the
end of this
video, here.
There has been
no answer.
The
Quinn
Emanuel letter
was received
by the UN's
Melissa
Fleming, Maria
Luiza Vioti
and Tal Mekel
and to each
UNCA Executive
Board member,
to them citing
UNCA's stated
goals that it
has a charter
to supposedly
uphold.
Nothing, yet.
What's
next? Since
the letter,
Inner City
Press has
published
exclusive
stories not
only from the
U.S. court
systems but
about the
United
Nations,
including its
agencies UNOPS,
UNFPA,
UNITAR
and UNESCO.
(Also credited
in AP,
Daily
Mail, and
Nigeria's
Sahara
Reporters,
amid answers
from the IMF.)
But
none of its
written
questions have
been answered
by the UN
Spokespeople,
now including
Paulina Kubiak
for the UN
PGA, and it
remains banned
from entry to
the UN's
briefings.
This must
end.
Having
asked for a
collegial
discussion,
and while
still offering
it, things
must turn to
the law. UNCA
is a New York
State
non-profit
which has not
only not
abided by its
stated goals -
it has
tortiously
interfered
with a
journalist's
right to cover
the United
Nations.
The United
Nations itself
propounds
Article 19 of
the Universal
Declaration of
Human Rights,
and has other
legal duties
that must be
addressed by
national
courts,
particularly
in the UN's
host
country...
Of
course, none
of this
in-house
scribes
mentioned
Rattray's open
censorship.

from French
media, two
from Italy,
with various
dictatorships
represented.
Newly
"elected" is
Carrie Neuton
of Le Monde,
with 32 votes.
She is now
responsible
for the UNCA
board's lack
of response to
a law firm's
letter about
their / her
role in
censorship.
Will there be
a response?
We'll have
more on this.
