SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Dec 30 – The UN General
Assembly rubber stamped the
waste of over $3 billion in
public funds past 10 pm on
December 30, in a meeting from
which UN Secretary General
Antonio Guterres banned Inner
City Press while he sat on
vacation in Lisbon. Thread here.
In the
past, votes were taken before
Christmas. But with lazy
Secretary General Guterres
fixated on leaving town to
either collect bribes or
launch a campaign for a second
term with Portuguese media,
the UNGA floundered more than
usual.
When
finally the trough was opened
up, it was dominated by anti
human rights speeches
including by Cameroon, here.
(Guterres has suppored 30+
year ruler Paul Biya in
killing civilians there).
Cameroon
voted with the rogues
throughout, as did Kazakhstan,
while at least 40 states weren't
even present. Yemen voted
against Iran.
When a vote was
called for, some bemoaned
it. And it wasn't
even over - it has to be
repeated on December 24. Watch
this site.
