COURT, April 4 –
The corruption of
the UN system of Antonio
Guterres is exemplified today
by the UN Mission in South
Sudan. Here is a staged
Q&A with David Shearer,
including the UN's lack of
precautions:
Leda Limann: The
next set of questions are
again for you, SRSG, these are
national staff specific. The
majority of UNMISS staff have
family members in Uganda. Can
you please engage with Ugandan
authorities to allow them to
be with their families after
COVID tests are negative? This
one may be for Qazi. For
national staff given the
option to work from home, will
the mission provide
compensation for the purchase
of internet data for use at
home? SRSG: This is a bit
tricky because for national
staff, obviously, their
country is here, and we expect
them to work here and that is
why we employ national staff
because they are here. I
think, what we can certainly
look at what happens in the
future, I am in contact with
the Resident Coordinator in
Uganda to see what options
there are to visit family
members. But it is not
possible for the moment to
evacuate people from South
Sudan to Uganda because they
are South Sudanese, that is
why they are here. But we will
look at the possibility of
being able to access their
families. At the moment, we
have got no ability to be
allowed into Uganda. Nobody
has the possibility of
entering Uganda and, likewise,
coming back into South Sudan.
So, we are a bit caught but
let’s see what happens in the
future.
Leda
Limann: National staff use the
shuttle bus twice daily and
the social distancing is not
maintained in the bus. Is the
mission taking any measures on
this?
Nope... The United Nations
held a four speakers, one M.C.
event to raise funds for
itself off of Coronavirus on
March 25.
But three
of the participants had
refused to make public even
the UN's bare-bones financial
disclosures: Mark Lowcock,
Henrietta Fore of UNICEF and
Melissa Fleming.
The head man,
Antonio Guterres, has lied
on his form, omitting
his financial links to
convicted UN briber CEFC China
Energy. So their credibility
to ask for more money is
questionable. Guterres wears a
mask.
A fish
rots from the head - Guterres
- so at WHO Bruce Aylward when
asked about Taiwan first
pretended not to hear - then
when called it insisted he had
already talked about China.
Video here.
Since then, day after day,
Inner City Press has in
writing asked Guterres and his
spokespeople, Stephane
Dujarric, Farhan Haq, the
censoring screening and
Melissa Fleming, for their
comment and action on this
shameful WHO action. No answer
at all, just jokes about rats
taking over the UN. It's not a
joke: it's true.
Now this:
"Hong Kong’s government said
public broadcaster RTHK
breached its charter by asking
the World Health Organization
about Taiwan’s membership, a
move democracy advocates
criticized as a new government
effort to muzzle the
press. The Commerce and
Economic Development Bureau
said Thursday that Radio
Television Hong Kong’s
interview with WHO official
Bruce Aylward violated the
principle that Taiwan belongs
to “one China.” A now-viral
video of Aylward’s awkward
exchange with the RTHK
presenter put renewed focus on
China’s efforts to prevent
Taiwan from cooperating with
the global health agency
during the
pandemic.
ADVERTISING “The
secretary holds the view that
the presentation in that
episode of the aforesaid
program has breached the
one-China principle and the
purposes and mission of RTHK
as a public service
broadcaster as specified in
the charter,” the bureau said,
referring to Commerce
Secretary Edward Yau. “It is
common knowledge that the WHO
membership is based on
sovereign states. RTHK, as a
government department and a
public service broadcaster,
should have proper
understanding of the above
without any deviation.”
An RTHK spokesperson said the
station had reviewed the
program and found no violation
of its charter. Taiwan was
referred to as “a place” in
the episode and no stance was
taken, the spokesperson said."
And what will the UN say?
Answer: Whatever Guterres'
pay-master China tells him to
say.
This is how
corrupt the UN is under
Guterres, who now tries to
hide behind mask(s).
Now
Guterres is ghoulishly
bragging about giving New York
City some masks - the same UN
which brought cholera to
Haiti, killing 10,000 people
and paying not a penny, and
which has been covering up
COVID-19. Even if NYC's pro-UN
office echoes praise, the UN
of Guterres is corrupt and lawless:
"the donation of 250,000
protective face masks, just
located in United Nations
stores in New York, to the
United
States.
These masks, in surplus to
United Nations requirements,
will be given to the medical
professionals in New York City
who have been working
courageously, selflessly, and
tirelessly in response to the
spread of COVID-19 across the
boroughs in the hope that they
play some small role in saving
lives.
We speak with one voice to
express our resolute support
for this great city and its
proud people. To us, New
York is not just our home or
the headquarters of the United
Nations. It is a vibrant
international capital through
which the world communicates,
debates, trades, and
prospers. On behalf of
the UN community and the
diplomatic corps, we sincerely
hope this modest donation
makes a
difference.
United Nations and US Mission
personnel are currently
working with the Mayor’s
office to ensure the swift
delivery of this equipment to
medical facilities around the
city.
New York, 28 March 2020."
There was
a photo op with the masks,
same personnel and then gate
as this
video, here.
Inner City Press, which for
asking these questions has
been banned
from the UN for 631 days by
Guterres and M.C. Melissa
Fleming (who has not filed her
financial disclosure),
streamed their event along
with analysis, here
on Twitter, here
on Periscope. It
also submitted questions
through the UN's Periscope
feed.
But
the questions Fleming picked,
in advance and seeming
providing them to Guterres in
advance, were from China state
media Xinhua, Radio France,
etc. To this has the UN sunk
under Guterres. We'll have
more on this.
