UN GATE / SDNY
COURT, May 1 – UN Secretary
General Antonio Guterres,
while refusing to answer Press
questions about his mission
spreading COVID-19 in South
Sudan and new
rape charges against UN
peacekeepers there and in
Afghanistan and the Central
African Republic, took seven
pre-selected questions on Apri
30. Video with analysis here
and here.
Now from
Guterres' corrupt UN
Secretariat, Inner City Press
has obtained its memo setting
out options for the UN General
Assembly to vote on electing
to UN positions, for example
for the next members of the
now also dubious UN Security
Council -- no answer from
current President Estonia, here.
The four
page memo, pages of which
Inner City Press is tweeting here,
is called Options for
Elections, and list four such
elections in June 2020
(including ECOSOC, next PGA
and VPs).
The UN is
so archaic that in New York
which just cancelled its
Presidential primary the UN is
proposing voting in a specific
venue, but with different time
slots. A set up for fraud,
several Member States have
told Inner City Press.
Even more dubious
would be Guterres' Secretariat
running an "eBallot module."
Yet even so the memo says it
would take Guterres' DGACM a
full 45 days to develop this.
What have they been doing for
the past two months? We'll
have more on this exclusive.
And on this:
"Due to the
expected continued limitations
on holding large in-person
meetings as a result of the
COVID-19 pandemic until the
end of June 2020, the
President of the UN General
Assembly Tijjani
Muhammad-Bande has decided
to:
Postpone the High-level
dialogue on desertification,
land degradation and drought
scheduled on 9 June
2020. The President will
soon submit a draft decision
recommending that this event
is postponed to the
seventy-fifth session of the
General Assembly, to a date to
be decided at the
seventy-fifth
session;
Postpone the plenary meeting
for the consideration of
agenda item 32 entitled
“Protracted conflicts in the
GUAM area and their
implications for international
peace, security and
development” scheduled on 16
June
2020;
Postpone the plenary meeting
for the consideration of
agenda item 118 entitled
“United Nations Global
Counter-Terrorism Strategy”
scheduled on 29 June
2020. A separate letter
on this topic will
follow. The
President of the General
Assembly recommends that the
commemoration of the signing
of the Charter of the United
Nations, scheduled on 26 June
2020, be held via a virtual
platform.
As for the elections scheduled
in June, the President of the
General Assembly hosted a
virtual meeting of the Chairs
of the Regional Groups that
featured a presentation by Mr.
Movses Abelian, Under
Secretary-General for General
Assembly and Conference
Management (DGACM), on the
options for elections by the
General Assembly without
plenary meetings. The
President will be hosting a
townhall for all Member States
on this
matter.
With the limitations on
holding large in-person, the
President will shortly submit
a draft decision extending
General Assembly decision
74/544 of 27 March 2020
entitled “Procedure for taking
decisions of the General
Assembly during the
Coronavirus disease 2019
(COVID-19) pandemic” beyond
the end of May."
On April 30,
tellingly, of the questions
picked by Guterres three were
from the state media of
Turkey, Russia and Qatar
(China
gets its answers and actions
from Guterres off-line).
None of
those selected by UN
Spokesperson Stephane Dujarric
asked about South Sudan, or UN
rapes, or corruption. Inner
City Press, which Guterres and
Dujarric arranged to have roughed
up by UN Security and
banned now 667 days, submitted
more than 20 questions in
writing.
None have
been answered or acknowledged,
including questions about WHO
in Cameroon and about Honduras'
president, from whom Guterres
through his spokesman bragged
of taking $50,000 from, being
named in a new narco
trafficking indictment on
April 30 in the U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York, which
Inner City Press now covers.
At one point in the short
briefing, Guterres literally
closed his eyes while talking,
or spouting platitudes. This
is what the five powers want
in a UN Secretary General - a
lack of energy to criticize, a
predictable stream of pablum.
But
with Guterres they also got a
censor who is personally
corrupt, hiding his financial
connection through Lisbon's Gulbenkian
Foundation with CEFC China
Energy whose Patrick Ho was
convicted in the SDNY
courthouse and is now
imprisoned.
It is prison, it
has become clear, where
Guterres should be - but he
enjoys the same immunity the
UN used to pay nothing for
killing 10,000 with the
cholera it brought to Haiti,
and that Dujarric lied about.
Now it is being repeated in
South Sudan, by Guterres.
Inner City Press will continue
to pursue this and re-entry
into the UN, like the
pay-to-play state media
handpicked by Dujarric on
April 30. Watch this site.
