UN GATE, June 17
– In contested elections
without observers for UN
Security Council seats on June
17 Norway and Ireland beat out
Canada (again), while Kenya
and Djibouti face a second
round of bribes. Video of
results here;
long video of Inner City Press
coverage from UN Gate here.
The
numbers -- UNverified -- for
the two races were as follows,
with 128 votes required to get
or buy a UNSC seat: Norway
130, Ireland 128; Canada 108,
losing again.
Kenya 113,
Djibouti 78. Kenya has to buy
15 votes by June 18. It
already sold a port to China.
Now what? Will they sell more
to China, like UN Secretary
General Antonio Guterres has,
while banning Inner City Press
715 days and counting and
directing that no UN
spokesperson answers its
questions? Guterres is
corrupt.
In the protests
that followed the murder of
George Floyd, as in the
COVID-19 lockdowns, carve outs
to curfews were made for the
media so that the operations
of government could be
observed and
reported.
But at the United
Nations, not only has
secretive Secretary General
Antonio Guterres ordered roughed
up and banned,
now 715 days, Inner City Press
which dared about about his
personal financial connection
to UN briber CEFC China
Energy, convicted in the U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New
York.
Now Nigeria's
Tijjani Muhammad-Bande the UN
General Assembly President, a
position previously purchased
by CEFC and before that Ng Lap
Seng (who also bought the UN
Correspondents Association
with $50,000) has banned all
media from observing the UN
Security Council and other
elections he is running, or
some say selling, today June
17.
And on June 16
for the UN noon briefing with
Stephane Dujarric and Farhan
Haq on unexplained vacations,
associate Eri Kaneko cut out
and issued a transcript of
comments on China that were
not issued on video.
This is a set-up
for a stolen election, some
say. Inner City Press intends
to live stream from the gate -
watch this site, and
@InnerCityPress on Twitter.
Tijjani
Muhammad-Bande's spokesperson
Reem Abaza, who refuses all
questions from Inner City
Press, intoned on June 12
(video here)
that "all Member States have
successfully registered the
names of the representative,
and an alternate, who will
cast their ballot for the
elections of non-permanent
members of the Security
Council, Members of the Social
and Economic Council and the
President of the 75th session
of the General Assembly on the
17th of June.
"Please note that
access to the General Assembly
building will be restricted to
the voters, tellers, and staff
who will be supporting the
process. This is to ensure
everyone’s safety and to
mitigate the spread of the
disease.
"The Department
of Global Communications and
the Department for General
Assembly and Conference
Management and our office are
coordinating closely to ensure
that you will get what you
need for your
coverage."
Yes, the UN will
decide "what you need" and the
propaganda will be served up
by DSG's Melissa Fleming, who
bans the Press and has no
content neutral rules for
access to the UN.
