UN GATE, Oct 2 –
Antonio Guterres, the UN
Secretary General who rarely
takes questions and even had
the Press which asked him
about the mass killings in
Cameroon thrown out of the UN,
rolled up in three large SUV
vehicles to the
publicly-funded mansion he
usually lives alone in, just
before the COVID-19 pandemic
spread in March Video
here,
&
YouTube
and Facebook.
Now
on October 2,
the US
is imposing
sanctions on
Minister of
the Interior
Kareau &
Deputy
Barsukou;
Commander
Nazaranka
and Deputy
AtabekauIpatau,
Ipatau and
Dmukhayla;
Kubrakou and
Balaba.
After
a typical UN
Secretariat
waffling on
Belarus, on
September 11
SG Antonio
Guterres who
bans Press
from the UN
for 822 days
issued this
canned
statement:
"The
Secretary-General
remains deeply
concerned
about the
situation in
Belarus,
particularly
the continued
use of force
against
peaceful
protestors and
the detention
of people
exercising
their
legitimate
democratic
rights.
He is also
concerned
about reports
of
intimidation
tactics
against civil
society,
media" -
media? When
Guterres' own
guards rough
up and ban the
Press, here?
On September
12,
still-banned
Inner City
Press went to
check out the
UN and Belarus
protest across
from it on
43rd Street,
where it
covered the UN
after Guterres
had it roughed
up. Sept 12
Periscope
here. Guterres
sides with
dictators -
and his
Melissa
Fleming has
not acted on
Inner City
Press'
application a
full week
previous for
access to
briefing to
cover UNGA
Week 2020.
We'll have
more on this.
As
Inner City
Press reported
on August 4 when
Haq and
Melissa
Fleming had it
removed before
it could ask a
question on
Guterres' lame
"policy
brief" on
COVID-19 and
education,
Guterres'
embargoed
video was filmed
July 23. This
shows
guilty
knowledge.
In March
at public expense his wife
Catarina Vaz Pinto was with
him, just as she was in
September 2019 in expensive
seats at the US Open tennis
tournament as Guterres - and
she? - censored the Press.
Catarina Vaz Pinto is no
longer only Lisbon's Minister
of Culture - she is now,
somewhat absurdly, the
"Minister of International
Relations" of the city. In
that role she was in Madrid,
at an event making light of
the spread of Coronavirus
which Guterres is helping
spread, while UN Spokesperson
Stephan Dujarric and Melissa
Fleming refuse all Inner City
Press questions.
