UN Gate, August
1 – The United Nations
under Antonio Guterres sinks
ever lower into complicity
with sexual abuse and
trafficking, and lack of
accountability. Now this, from
the field:
"Toby Lanzer was
undoubtedly the most senior UN
official (last eight years as
ASG in three countries) who
committed most abuse of power,
harassment including on racial
and gender grounds, sexual
depravity, fraud, and just
about anything else the UN
says it wants to fight with
zero tolerance. So, as
he just announced his early
retirement, just on reaching
early retirement age at 55,
the obvious question is: how
can the UN tolerate something
like this for so long ?
Which powers were behind him
? The impunity is as
shocking as the abuse itself,
and hopefully you can
investigate this. In
Angola in his first job, he
faked his own kidnapping and
sexual abuse to score points,
and got a promotion. In
Moscow he made women cry in
the office after not only
making them work like slaves,
but also asking for sexual
favours for them not to be
fired. One woman
reported him and he was simply
sent to Geneva on a
promotion. In Geneva he
used his staff to manage the
rent of his apartment and run
all kinds of errands.
Staff no longer had a life and
were his slaves full
time. He would feel free
to wake them up any time in
the night. In CAR he
fired half the UNDP office
until staff complained
formally. UNDP let him
go and he was promoted to D2
in Darfur. He had a
girlfriend working for an NGO,
and for her a job with WFP in
Chad in exchange for sexual
services. Plus trips for
them both disguised as
official travel. In
Sudan he committed fraud by
getting a British company to
procure construction materials
at an inflated price and get
his return. In East
Timor he had sex with minors
and everyone was closing
eyes."
These are the
type of allegations from UN
whistleblowers that Guterres
and his two spokesmen refuse
to answer in any way, despite
having told now gone UN
Rapporteur David Kaye that
they were answering Inner City
Press' questions.
"Besides
his frequent trips to Cambodia
to have sex with more
minors. He was promoted
ASG to South Sudan when people
got sick of him. But in
South Sudan it is him who got
sick and decided to
leave. So he triggered
and staged his being kicked
out by the government.
This got him not only a nicer
post in Dakar but also lots of
attention by the security
council. In Dakar again
he once had a one month
“mission” to the beach in St
Louis at taxpayer expense
making it pass as a
retreat. He finally went
to Afghanistan where he was
once spotted having sex in the
car park with a National
staff. He was force to
retire amidst complaints
(Afghans are not as easygoing
as people in the other places
he has been). He leaves
behind a legacy of colleagues
traumatized by his
behavior. How could
impunity last so long?"
The answer
to the question, and the
problem for the Un and its
victims, is Antonio Guterres.
Ghislaine Maxwell used the
United Nations, as reported by
Inner City Press whose
questions about it UN
Secretary General Antonio
Guterres refuses.
First
Inner City Press showed that
on the board of Maxwell's
Terramar Project Inc. was
Guterres chief Partnerships
official, Amir Dossal, below.
Now while
UNEP official Lisa Svensson
appears in the documents
unsealed July 30 in the U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
which Inner City Press covers
since ousted
from the UN by Guterres for is
reporting, Inner City Press is
continuing its exclusive 2018
reporting in Svensson's "Volvo
Boating" and other scams at
UNEP, here,
where we published
in full, on Scribd and Patreon, the agreement
with Volvo Ocean
Races signed by
Erik Solheim, here,
and the EUR
500,000
agreement signed
by UNEP's Lisa
Emilia Svensson, here and here.
[Now, Aug 1,
2020 song here.]
From
the March 1,
2018 UN
transcript, four
months before
Guterres has
Inner City Press
physically ousted
from the UN:
Inner City
Press: I also
wanted to ask
you about UNEP
(United Nations
Environment
Programme).
Whistleblowers
there have
alleged a number
of
irregularities,
but the one that
caught my eye
and I've
published has to
do with the
allegation is
that UNEP, which
claims under Mr.
[Erik] Solheim
to have a number
of corporate
partnerships is,
in fact, in some
cases paying the
corporation for
the
partnership.
I.e., it's not a
partnership
like, you know,
Barcelona
Football Club
with UNICEF,
where they
pay. In
this case,
they're alleged
that, under Mr.
Solheim, the UN
Environment, as
it's now called,
is paying
$500,000 to
Volvo Ocean
Races. And
I wanted to know
is it… one, I
don't know if
it's true, but
they work there
and they have a
lot of names and
a lot of
information.
Spokesman:
I think you can
ask those
questions
directly of
UNEP. I
have no doubt
that Mr. Solheim
is operating and
running the
agency in
accordance to
all relevant
rules and
regulations."
Right.
Here's
from the letter:
"Dear Mr.
Solheim...
a D1, Lisa
Svensson can
work from
Europe, because
for personal
reasons she does
not wish to work
in
Nairobi.
Her big office
in Nairobi
remains vacant
with her name
and
organisational
equipment while
the same has to
be provided
again by another
office in
Europe.
She leads the
marine team
remotely as the
rest of the
staff under her
responsibility
are in Nairobi.
As
Inner City Press first
reported, long time UN
operative Amir Dossal, UNSG
Antonio Guterres' chief
Partnerships official who was
also his link to UN bribers
like Ng Lap Seng and Patrick
Ho of CEFC China Energy, was
on the board of directors of
Maxwell's shadowy Terramar.
Inner City Press first made
this link & published the
990. And here
is Dossal introducing Maxwell
as one of her nine visits to
the UN, here.
After the death of Jeffrey
Epstein in the MCC prison, on
July 2 Acting US Attorney for
the Southern District of New
York Audrey Strauss announced
and unsealed in indictment of
Maxwell on charges including
sex trafficking and perjury.
Inner City Press went to her
press conference at the US
Attorney's Office and asked,
Doesn't charging Maxwell with
perjury undercut any ability
to use testimony from her
against other, bigger
wrong-doers? Periscope here
at 23:07.
Strauss
replied that it is not
impossible to use a perjurer's
testimony. But how often does
it work?
At 3:30 pm
on July 2 Maxwell appeared in
the U.S. District Court for
the District of New Hampsire,
before Magistriate Judge Andrea
K. Johnstone.
Inner City
Press live
tweeted it
here.
(Also
live tweeted
bail denial of
July 14, here.)
In
the July 3 media coverage of
Maxwell, media all of the
world used a video and stills
from it of Maxwell speaking in
front of a blue curtain, like
here.
What they
did not mention is something
Inner City Press has been
asking the UN about, as under
UNSG Antonio Guterres with his
own sexual exploitation issues
(exclusive video
and audio)
it got roughed up and banned
from the UN: Ghislaine Maxwell
had a ghoulish United Nations
press conference, under the
banner of the "Terramar
Project," here.
On July 5,
after some crowd-sourcing,
Inner City Press reported on
another Ghislaine Maxwell use
of the United Nations,
facilitated by Italy's
Permanent Representative to
the UN, UN official Nikhil
Seth and Amir Dossal,
who also let into the UN and
in one case took money from
convicted UN briber Ng Lap
Seng, and Patrick Ho of CEFC
China Energy, also linked to
UN Secretary General Antonio
Guterres.
At the
Ghislaine Maxwell UN event,
the UN Deputy Secretary
General was directly involved.
List of (some of)
the participants on Patreon here.
Inner City
Press has published a phone of
Maxwell in the UN with Dossal,
here. But the connection runs
deeper: Dossal with "25 years
of UN involvement" was on
Terrarmar's board of
directors, one of only five
directors, only three not
related to Maxwell by blood
and name.
The directors:
Ghislaine Maxwell, Christine
Malina-Maxwell, Steven Haft,
Christine Dennison and... Amir
Dossal. Inner City Press is
publishing this full 990 on
Patreon here.
Dossal has
operated through the UN Office
of Partnership, with Antonio
Guterres and his deputy Amina
J. Mohammed, here.
And the links to
the world of UN bribery,
including Antonio Guterres
through the Gulbenkian
Foundation, runs deeper. More
to follow.
Antonio Guterres
claims he has zero tolerance
for sexual exploitation, but
covers it up and even
participate in it. He should
be forced to resign - and/or
have immunity waived.
Terramar
has been dissolved, even
though Maxwell's former
fundraiser / director of
development Brian Yurasits
still lists the URL on his
(protected) Twitter profile,
also here.
But now
Inner City Press has begun to
inquire into Ghislaine
Maxwell's other United Nations
connections, starting with
this photograph of another
day's (or at least another
outfit's) presentation in the
UN, here.
While co-conspirator Antonio
Guterres has had Inner City
Press banned from any entry
into the UN for two years and
a day, this appears to be in
the UN Economic and Social
Council (ECOSOC) chamber.
We'll have more on this, and
on Epstein and the UN. Watch
this site.
