UN GATE, Oct 26
-- The United Nations in New
York will be closed on October
27 as at least five members on
a member state's mission have
tested positive for COVID-19,
letter first tweeted by Inner
City Press here:
"Following
information from the
Secretariat regarding five
COVID infections at a Mission
of a Member State, the advice
of the Medical Unit is to
cancel in-person meetings at
UNHQ tomorrow, Tuesday 27
October, pending contact
tracing. Accordingly, after
consulting the Main Committee
Chairs, and in light of the
need to safeguard public
health, all in-person meetings
of the Main Committees of the
General Assembly tomorrow are
cancelled."
This is
the UN whose Secretary General
Antonio Guterres, a week ago
bragged about evading
quarantine, video here.
This while his spokesman Stephane
Dujarric briefing maskless in
a windowless room, five feet
from equally maskless
correspondents from Al Jazeera
and other state media, here.
Their UN should leave New
York.
Guterres rarely
takes questions as he
undermines what's left of the
UN's credibility and even had
the Press which asked him
about his links to the
convicted UN briber CEFC China
Energy thrown out of the UN,
rolled up in three large SUV
vehicles to the
publicly-funded mansion he
usually lives alone in, just
before the COVID-19 pandemic
spread in March Video
here,
&
YouTube
and Facebook.
Now
on October 23 - UN
Day - Guterres
has bragged to
staff that "our
global survey
to mark this
anniversary
confirmed that
the people of
the world
continue to
put their
trust in us to
prevent
conflict,
promote human
rights,
advance
justice,
protect our
planet and
uphold the
equality of
women and
men." This as
he daily
covers up
rapes by UN
peacekeepers and
bans the Press
which asks, as
he fails on
Cameroon and the UN
has on other conflicts
like in
and as even
the Mayor of
New York won't
meet with UN
officials
like the PGA.
For UN
Day
that he
will travel in
two weeks to
Massachusetts
to meet his
semi-estranged
wife who lives
in Portugal, a
country from which
quarantine would be
required
in New York. This
is open
evasion of
quarantine
rules - or not
open, since it
was said in a
meeting
several disgusted participants
invited
Inner City
Press to
observe.
Inner City
Press asked UN
Spokespeople
Stephane
Dujarric and
Melissa Fleming:
"Immediately
confirm what
SG Guterres
said this
morning, that
he plans to
travel to
Massachusetts
in two weeks
and meet his
wife coming in
from Portugal
and explain
how his is not
evasion of
applicable
quantantine
rules."
Hours later,
no answer
at all. (Contrary
to, for example, IMF
answers to
Inner City
Press here.)
And
then asked
Guterres
online, here.
Perhaps most
significantly,
Guterres in the
meeting expressed
open preference in
the current US
president election
saying that if
one side wins,
"Net Zero
Emissions" can
be advance,
and if the
other (Trump)
wins, Guterres
and the UN
will rely on
bankers like
JPMorgan
Chase.
Guterres
also
spoke about
social media
platforms -
not the
censorship of
investigative
articles but the
need to
censors more,
citing
what he called
"Social
Dilemna" a
show he says
he is watching
on Netflix. We
will have more
on this.
Normally,
one could ask
Guterres'
spokespeople to
explain. But
they refuse to
answer
questions, even
for
clarification
of Spokesman
Stephane
Dujarric reference to
two, and
not one,
trips. They
are corrupt.
After
his return and
faux
quarantine for
ten days,
including
maskless men
going in and
out of his
mansion, on
August 19 Guterres'
spokesman
Stephane
Dujarric said
that US
Secretary of
State would
be meeting
directly
with Guterres
in the mansion
on August 20 at 2 pm, see
below.
Meanwhile
Guterres ordered UN headquarters
staff to
return to New
York by
September 15 -
or two weeks
before, so
that they
(unlike him)
can
quarantine.
See video
leaked to
Inner City
Press, here,
including on
that Guterres'
contempt
for the public
is spreading.
On August 20
Inner City
Press, though
also covering
the indictment
and arraignment
of Steve
Bannon in the
SDNY
courthouse it
covers,
rushed uptown to
see if this
blatant violation
of quarantine
by Guterres
would take place.
It did:
streaming
Periscope
video here; now
on YouTube here.
There
were many UN
staff and
security, a
waste of
public money occasioned
only by
Guterres'
selfishness
and arrogance.
