UN GATE, Sept 22
– Each day, the current United
Nations less accountable. Now
that an unvaccinated Brazilian
diplomat who flew into New
York and entered the "honor
system" UN General Assembly on
September 21 has tested
positive for COVID, who will
make UN Secretary General
Antonio Guterres shut down his
super spreader event?
It can be
compared to the Elizabeth
Holmes / Theranos trial in
Federal court in California.
There, when a participant
might have been exposed to
someone else with COVID, the
high profile trial was paused
for four days.
But
not the UN. Here
is its internal message to
staff, immediately leaked to
banned Inner City Press and
first published exclusively here:
"Dear Colleagues,
We were informed that in
yesterday’s plenary meeting of
the General Assembly, a Member
State delegate was present
between 8 am and 11 am, who
tested positive for COVID-19
later in the day. The
Permanent Mission informed
DHMOSH, in accordance with the
protocol. DHMOSH
has examined the circumstances
of a potential exposure to UN
staff present in the GA hall
and area contact tracing is
being finalized.
UN staff who might have been
in contact with the infected
person will be notified
individually and guided
through next steps. For all
other UN staff, a potential
virus transmission is very
unlikely. At present, no close
contacts amongst UN staff have
been identified.
In addition, all UN staff
servicing yesterday’s meeting
are vaccinated and therefore
have a low risk of being
infected. The
Member State has confirmed and
that the complete delegation
has decided to self-quarantine
for fourteen days.
Please continue masking at all
times on UN premises and
inform DHMOSH in case you
experience symptoms.
Department of Operational
Support." This is fraud.

On
September 21, even while
banned Inner City Press
covered what it could of the
entrances to the lawless
"honor system" UNGA, for
example Nigeria
and Bangladesh,
then Bolonsaro
and Biden.
Since July, NYC-based Inner
City Press has asked the UN in
writing why it would hold this
super spreader event, after
bringing cholera to Haiti. No
answers.
Later on
September 21, this: Health
Minister Marcelo Queiroga
tested positive for Covid-19.
He will be quarantined for 14
days in New York, in
isolation, and will not return
to Brazil for the time being.
The information was confirmed
by the Special Secretariat for
Social Communication (Secom)
on Monday night. The
minister is in New York, where
he accompanied the delegation
of President Jair Bolsonaro...
Queiroga stated that he will
remain in quarantine in the
US. He was at the
UN General Assembly today.
That's it - under
contact tracing, UNGA should
be shut down. And the censor
Antonio Guterres held
accountable
From inside(rs),
this pool report, forwarded to
Inner City Press by disgusted
insiders and which we publish
because the UN has banned all
but its colluding handpicked
scribes:
"US President Joe
Biden, who earlier arrived at
the UN headquarters to
participate in the general
debate during the high-level
week, did not stop in front of
journalists. The American
leader only lingered on the
question about relations with
France, but the journalists
did not understand quite well,
what he said. Perhaps the
phrase sounded: "They're
great." Biden was accompanied
by Secretary Anthony Blinken
and US Ambassador to the UN
Linda Thomas-Greenfield.
Brazilian President Jair
Bolsonaro did not answer the
question whether he was
vaccinated before entering the
building and whether he plans
to meet with President Joe
Biden. The only
person who passed near the
press was EU High
Representative for Foreign
Affairs and Security Policy
Josep Borrell. In
response to a request to
assess relations with Russia.
he said just
"good-good".
Turkish Foreign Minister
Mevlut Cavusoglu did not
answer questions.
We'll have more on this.
On
September 18, in violation of
NYC COVID law and of basic
free press principles, this:
"Dear colleagues, MALU
has just informed us that
there will be a stakeout on
Monday, September 20th at
11:40 am with the
Secretary-General and the
Prime Minister of the United
Kingdom and Northern Ireland,
Boris Johnson. A limited
number of only five (5)
RESIDENT media, as well as a
couple of photographers will
be accommodated.
RSVPs will be taken on a first
come first served basis.
Please send your name to
contactus@unca.com no later
than 4:00 PM TODAY (09/18)
with the subject line
"STAKEOUT RSVP" if you want to
attend. The first 5
names will receive a
confirmation from the UNCA
Office and will be sent to
MALU. Thank you for your
attention and
cooperation. Valeria
Robecco President, United
Nations Correspondents
Association."
Note: The
UK Mission to the UN refuses
Press questions, including
about its failure on its
failures in its former colony
Southern British Cameroons
(Ambazonia).
The UN has
neither
responded to
or offered any
explanation
when a
lawyer's
letter - to UN
official
Fleming, and
Tal Mekel, and
to each UNCA
Executive
Committee
member - urged
them to have a
dialogue about
ending the
UN's banning
and censorship
of Inner City
Press.
On
August 9, an
independent
(minded)
journalist
asked Dujarric
about the
letter, video
here,
The
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.
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,
and it remains
banned from
entry to the
UN's
briefings.
This must
end.
