SDNY COURTHOUSE,
August 17 – How corrupt and
undemocratic is today's United
Nations? They sent Swiss
police to the house of
whistleblower Emma Reilly who
timely filed to oppose a
second term for Antonio
Guterres, as did Inner City
Press, which remains banned
with the UN refusing to even
response to a law firm's
polite letter seeking
reinstatement, video here.
They are taking steps
to fire Reilly, claiming that
it is irrelevant whether or
not OHCHR shared the names of
Uighur dissidents coming to
testify in Geneva with the
Chinese government for worse
forms of retaliation. This is
the disgusting UN of Guterres.
Also this - more
UN censorship and
surveillance, mimicking the
dictatorship the UN under
Guterres is only pretending to
condemn:

<ag@un.org> Subject: UN
investigation of non-staff
members Dear Ms
Pollard, In your
"investigation", you ordered
"investigators" to
"investigate" the Twitter
accounts of individuals who
retweet my factually accurate
statements about what the UN
claims in court is an ongoing
and public policy. Could
you kindly provide the rule
that permits the UN to
investigate the actions of
non-staff members? If not,
what mandate allows the UN to
investigate private citizens
without the knowledge of
consent of member states? Does
the UN routinely open
investigations into private
citizens (as far as I'm aware
- I've only ever spoken in my
own name, having endured years
of false accusations and
defamation) who criticize it
or debate the correctness of
its policies? If you could
provide information on how
many such investigations have
been conducted in the past
five years, and what
percentage of those concerned
journalists or other
individuals who reported on
persons who reported
misconduct, that would be
greatly appreciated. I
note once again my objection
to being constantly blamed by
UN managers for the actions of
third parties - I remind you
that I tried to kill this
story in 2017, and can prove
that. It was the UN that
elected to bring it into the
public domain by lying about
me in a press release that
remains uncorrected.
Regards, Emma Reilly."

Guterres has
stolen a second five-year
term, while banning
the Press for the 1225th day
for daring to ask about his
finances and failures; he has
collaborators.
The
current President of the
General Assembly Volkan
Bozkir, a strongman from
Turkey who due to his bigoted
comments even pro-UN New York
City Mayor Bill de Blasio
wouldn't meet with, had the
duty of circulating letters
from candidates.
But
throughout February 2021 (and
since) Bozkir refused to
circulate the letter of UN
staffer candidate Arora
Akanksha.
Bozkir's
spokesman Brendan Varma, who
blocks Inner City Press
on Twitter, continued to dance
around what the rules are and
won't answer.
So, as a
test - and to raise the issue
of the UN's lack of content
neutral media access rules, lack
of a Freedom of Information
Act (fought for the Free
UN Coalition for Access) and
lack of scruples - Inner City
Press on the morning of
February 26 submitted a signed
letter
and C.V. to the PGA's Office
and to Varma. Since
then, dodging and blockage,

Your
Excellencies,
Kindly find attached my
application for the post of
Secretary-General, along with
a document outlining
accountability gaps that
serves as my vision
statement. As I note in
my cover letter, I intend this
application to raise necessary
questions about UN reform,
ensuring that election by
acclamation is not abused to
further weaken accountability
of UN staff who commit
misconduct. I look
forward to hearing from
you. Kind regards, Emma
Reilly.
And how
did Emma Reilly hear back from
the UN of Guterres? She says
they sent Swiss Police to her
home, ironically while she was
supposed to be on a Zoom
meeting about whistleblowers,
see here.
It's called
swatting. This is how corrupt
the UN has become under
Guterres, who Emma Reilly says
should resign. Inner City
Press - and many others -
agree. Watch this site.
