UN GATE, Oct 17 –
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.
In
August with
most New
Yorkers locked
down
or, if they
leave the City
and returned,
harassed by
contact
tracers,
Guterres went
on an unannounced
publicly
funded
vacation to
Portugal.
Now it appears
he may again
be in Lisbon. On
October 17,
Reuters
with a Lisbon
dateline quotes
something
Guterres "told
Lusa,"
the Portuguese
media.
In
typical
Reuters fashion, this
pick-up piece
consisting of
a quote to
another media
has three credits:
"Sergio
Goncalves;
Additional
reporting
Graham Keeley;
Editing by
Pravin Char."
In
fairness, or
not, Inner
City Press
checked and
found UN Security
parked in
front of the
$15 million
mansion on
Sutton Place
where Guterres
sometimes lives,
along, when he
is not secretly
in Lisbon. Video
of Oct 17, 2
pm, here.
Normally,
one could ask
Guterres'
spokespeople to
explain. But
they refuse to
answer
questions, even
for
clarification
of Spokesman
Stephane
Dujarric reference to
two, and
not one,
trips. They
are corrupt.
After
his return and
faux
quarantine for
ten days,
including
maskless men
going in and
out of his
mansion, on
August 19 Guterres'
spokesman
Stephane
Dujarric said
that US
Secretary of
State would
be meeting
directly
with Guterres
in the mansion
on August 20 at 2 pm, see
below.
Meanwhile
Guterres ordered UN headquarters
staff to
return to New
York by
September 15 -
or two weeks
before, so
that they
(unlike him)
can
quarantine.
See video
leaked to
Inner City
Press, here,
including on
that Guterres'
contempt
for the public
is spreading.
On August 20
Inner City
Press, though
also covering
the indictment
and arraignment
of Steve
Bannon in the
SDNY
courthouse it
covers,
rushed uptown to
see if this
blatant violation
of quarantine
by Guterres
would take place.
It did:
streaming
Periscope
video here; now
on YouTube here.
There
were many UN
staff and
security, a
waste of
public money occasioned
only by
Guterres'
selfishness
and arrogance.
