UN
GATE, Oct 9
-- It's
one
thing for front
line staff of
the World Food
Program
to be proud of
the Nobel
Peace Prize
awarded today.
It's quite
another for opportunistic
UN Secretary
General Antonio
Guterres, who
often has
a negative
impact on the
countries
cited by the
Norgewian
Nobel
Committee and
who bans
Press
which
questions him,
to latch
on and try to
associate
himself with
the prise. As
predicted,
it has
happened:
"I am
delighted by
the decision
of the Nobel
Committee to
award this
year’s Prize
for Peace to
the United
Nations World
Food
Programme...
There is also
a hunger in
our world for
international
cooperation.
The World Food
Programme
feeds that
need,
too. WFP
operates above
the realm of
politics, with
humanitarian
need driving
its
operations.
The
organization
itself
survives on
voluntary
contributions
from UN Member
States and the
public at
large."
Guterres
takes the
public's
money, on top
of Chinese
bribes, and
takes secret
and wasteful vacations
to Lisbon
mid-pandemic.
And
the
Committee's
name checking
of the UN
Security
Council and
Yemen, the
Democratic
Republic of
Congo,
Nigeria, South
Sudan and
Burkina Faso
is
questionable.
As just
two example,
in DR Congo
Guterres this
year has been
covering
up rapes
by UN peacekeepers,
and withholding
information
about it, as
he has about
the UN's role
in introducing
and spreading
COVID-19 in
South Sudan, here.
"An
irate wife’s
email to
fellow members
of the World
Food Programme
book club blew
the whistle on
Sudanese
Deputy
Executive
Director Amir
Abdulla’s
amorous
activities,
leading
ultimately to
his being
referred to in
an external
review of
sexual and
other
harassment at
the UN agency,
WFP sources
said.
“Some of you
will be aware
that Amir has
been having
affairs with
colleagues at
WFP,” she told
them in the
email that
subsequently
was widely
forwarded
around the
poverty-busting
organisation's
Rome
headquarters.
“I expect some
of you have
seen him as he
seems to be
working his
way through
the
staff!”
“I had thought
this might be
a good year,
new start, but
we returned
from a
wonderful
family
Christmas to
find a message
from Lidija,
so he has
clearly moved
on from Monica
… but still
doesnt want
me.”

Hello
Everyone
I hope you all
had good
holidays and
wish you a
very happy new
year. I
have really
enjoyed being
a member of
the bookclub
and getting to
know you, it
has been one
of the most
important
things in my
life over the
last couple of
years
Sadly I must
now leave you.
Some of you
will be aware
that Amir has
been having
affairs with
colleagues at
WFP, I expect
some of you
have seen him
as he seems to
be working his
way through
the
staff! I
had thought
this might be
a good year,
new start, but
we returned
from a
wonderful
family
Christmas to
find a message
from Lidija,
so he has
clearly moved
on from Monica
Masotti but
still doesnt
want me.
It will be
messy and I
will
eventually
leave Rome,
bookclub would
clearly be too
embarrassing.
Thanks for
your
friendship-any
advice would
be
great.
Julie."
Embarrassing?
The UN of faux
feminist
Guterres is a total
joke, and tries to
ban and censor
the Press
which asks and
reports on
it.
Talk
about MeToo -
the faux
feminist
Guterres covers up
and rewards
such behavior.
And later on
April 18 Ms.
Nahla Valji,
Senior Gender
Adviser,
Executive
Office of the
Secretary-General, was bragging
about Guterres
and feminism. What
hypocrisy.
We'll have
more on this -
while Guterres
and his
spokespeople refuse
to answer any
of Inner City
Press' written
questions, we
still have
sources, many
sources.
In the
midst of Inner
City Press'
questioning
in 2018 about
Guterres' links to
now convicted UN
bribery Patrick
Ho's China Energy
Fund Committee and
Guterres' failures
on Cameroon
and elsewhere, his
UN Security twice
roughed up Inner
City Press on June 22 and July
3, 2018.
Then
after Inner City
Press filed a New
York Police
Department
complaint against
the UN and its
Lieutenant Ronald
E. Dobbins, none
of its written
questions to UN
Security chief
Peter Drennen
and Guterres
were answered.
There are no
due process
rights for
journalists in
the UN of
Guterres.
Without
any reasoning
or
explanation,
this:
"Greetings
Matthew LEE
from
ICP
INNER CITY
PRESS,
Your media
accreditation
request, with
reference no:
M66561081, has
been
declined."
Just as there
was no
hearing, no action
on assault by
UN DSS
Lieutenant
Ronald E.
Dobbins, and
not appeals
process, no reasons. This was
repeated in
September
2020.
The
letter was sent to
Guterres, his
chief of staff
Maria Luiza
Viotti and
her staffer
Eihab Omaish,
his
Deputy SG
Amina J. Mohammed
and her chief
of
staff Nelson
Muffuh, as well
as to the PGA,
to MALU
chief Tal
Mekel and
others still to
be named
along with a simple
request for confirmation
of receipt.
Even this they had not
done.
Beyond
the hundreds
of articles
covering the
UN since the
arbitrary
ouster of 3
July 2018, see
March 29,
2019, Hong
Kong TV documentary
on Patrick Ho
of diamond briber
CEFC
China Energy,
Inner City
Press in front
of UN and SDNY...
For years Guterres
received money as a
board member of the
Calouste Galbenkian
Foundation, which
despite its name is
the 100% owner of
Partex Oil and Gas.
Partex
has operations in
Angola, Abu Dhabi,
Brazil, Kazakhstan,
the Netherlands,
Oman and Portugal.
It was to a
Portuguese court
that Guterres, while
justifying
no listing some of
his income,
disclosed in 2016
that he was paid at
least € 2735 per
month for his
position with the
Gulbenkian
Foundation.
But while a now
deleted Foundation
web page (archived here)
stated that Guterres
continued with
Gulbenkian into
2018, Guterres did
not list it on his most
recent, and so
far lone, UN Public
Financial
Disclosure, which
covered 2016
("Disclosing
financial and other
interests for the
2016 reporting
year").
So why did Guterres
disclose his
position with the
Club of Madrid, but
not
with the Gulbenkian
Foundation / Partex
Oil and Gas?
Inner City Press has
a right
to re-enter
and pursue these
questions.
