COURT, May 20 – The United
Nations under Antonio Guterres
has been accomplishing even
less that before.
But the UN's move
out of the glass skyscraper on
Manhattan's East Side for
weeks now, with diplomats
pontificating by Zoom from
their expensive and tax-free
residence shows that the UN
could and should move out of
New York.
With the UN
scarcely less effective by
Zoom than in person, not only
the traffic and scoflaw
parking problems can be
avoided.
A move-out could rid the city
and country of predatory
diplomats and senior UN
officials in bars, and now
diplomat(s) with Coronavirus
and others flying in - Inner
City Press has asked Guterres
and his spokespeople for the
UN's protocol, without answer.
Spokespeople Stephane Dujarric
and Melissa Fleming have
banned Inner City Press not
only from the UN building, but
also its Zoom rooms. But if
they'll just leave New York,
that's be that.
The
time is ripe for the move-out.
While Guterres is said to be
considering raising himself
from his briber slumber to try
to ingratiate himself to
politicians he thinks or hopes
will win, the strategy should
not be allowed to work.
Zoom
is the perfect home for the UN,
including give WHO owns the
platform. It's time for the UN
to Zoom or be Zoomed out of
NYC and the USA. Watch this
