UN
GATE, Jan 28
– How corrupt
and hypocritical
is the
United Nations of
Secretary General
Antonio Guterres?
He covered up for
two years on seuxal
harassment by
his
friend Fabrizio
Hochschild,
as banned
Inner City
Press asked
him about it
in writing.
Then on
January 28
Guterres lied
and said he'd only
found
out days
before. Video
here.
This
lie came in a
Press-less
press
conference.
State media of
Turkey, Qatar, as
well as Reuters
and the NYT,
helped
Guterres by
not asking
about the
belated
suspension of
Hochschild. But
when it was
asked as the
penultimate question,
before
Guterres went
to jump the
vaccination line in The
Bronx,
Guterres
outright lied as
to when he
knew. He also
expressed
nothing for the
victims, only
a hope for
due process
for his
crony.
We'll have
more on this.
So
much so that
while Guterres
claims zero
tolerance and
to be a
feminist, he twice
rewarded
and covered up
sexual
misconduct in
his own office.
Inner City
Press before
May
2019 reported
the #MeToo
abuses of
Fabrizio
Hochschild,
and asked
Guterres in
writing about
them, with no
answer. It published audio
leaked to it; its
exclusive was
picked up here
for example.
Now
this, from
whistleblower
Emma
Reilly:
"all of
this is on the
record.
After I was
given formal
whistleblower
status, in
July 2020,
even the
Ethics Office,
not known for
their ethical
standards,
recognised
that OIOS had
a conflict of
interest in
investigating
retaliation
against me.
Guterres
referred
investigation
of retaliation
against me to
them anyway
(presumably he
approves of
their approach
of asking for
a pinkie
promise that
retaliators
are not guilty
rather than
actually
investigating
anything). I
told OIOS the
chief
retaliator is
now Catherine
Pollard, who
should be a
subject of
investigation.
So, on 8
January, while
she is
supposed to be
under
investigation
for vicious
retaliation
against me, I
find out I'm
now under
investigation
ordered by
none other
than Pollard,
who has
absolutely no
right under UN
rules to place
me under
investigation.
Only Bachelet
can do that.
I'm under
investigation
explicitly for
the very act
of
whistleblowing
-
"unauthorised"
reporting to
member states
that OHCHR is
handing names
of dissidents
to the Chinese
delegation.
Literally the
reports that
were found to
be
protected.
Of course,
OIOS
conveniently
decided not to
investigate
Pollard for
the most
blatant
possible act
of retaliation
against a
whistleblower.
But apparently
Twitter is the
way to reach
the officials
who otherwise
ignore my
reports and
all of their
legal, moral
and ethical
responsibilities
to make OHCHR
stop being
complicit in
an ongoing
genocide. So
be it.

Dear
Secretary-General,
Ms
Ndiaye,
I have been
informed by
two persons
who were in
the room that
the subject of
the tape
published on
Inner City
Press alleging
he put his
hand down a
colleague's
trousers is
Fabrizio
Hochschild,
recently
appointed tech
envoy. Ben
Swanson
reported in
that recording
that you, Mr.
Secretary-General,
did not wish
to know about
the alleged
assault
because of
your personal
friendship
with Mr.
Hochschild. As
a UN staff
member, I have
an obligation
to report
misconduct
regardless of
whether
committed by
"favoured
sons." I copy
the Ethics
Office and
note that I
anticipate
further
retaliation
for the
present
report.
I trust this
report of
serious
misconduct
will be
investigated
with
appropriate
speed,
particularly
given that the
UN has so much
excess money
to spend on
rehiring
persons found
by the
Tribunal to
have committed
misconduct to
investigate a
recognised
whistleblower
for the act of
blowing the
whistle?
Perhaps you
could also
investigate
complicity in
genocide,
which I have
been reporting
to OIOS since
1 February
2013, almost
eight years
ago? Or ensure
I receive a
reply to my
multiple
emails
enquiring
about progress
in the much
slower-moving
OIOS
"investigation"
(or more
accurately
formal request
for
retaliators to
lie) into the
retaliation
against
me?
Regards, Emma
Reilly."
From
the world
of lies, in
January 28, this:
"UN
spokesperson
Stéphane
Dujarric said
that the head
of the
Organization,
Antonio
Guterres, took
" very
seriously any
allegation of
harassment,
abuse of
power,
discrimination
or sexual
harassment ”.
After "
allegations of
possible
prohibited
conduct
against
Fabrizio
Hochschild
were brought
to his
attention ", a
suspension of
functions was
decided during
an internal
investigation.
Once achieved,
" the
secretary
general will
act quickly
and take
appropriate
action on the
basis of the
findings, "
added the
spokesperson."
But
AFP sources it
to a pro-Guterres
in-house
publication
which said
Guterres gets
a "B" from
feminists.
What a joke -
it is Guterres
who
should be ousted,
for censorship
to cover up
rapes, by Karim
Elkorany (UN
staff in Iraq)
and Peacekeepers
in DRC and
CAR. We'll
have more on this.
In
a musical chairs
personnel move
on April
18, 2019, a
day after he continued
his now 935
day censorship
of the Press,
Guterres named
as his new
Assistant
Secretary-General
for Strategic
Coordination
one Volker
Türk, who
when Inner
City Press
asked him
about refugees
chased by Paul
Biya's
Cameroon army
into Nigeria
seemed not to
know about it.
Guterres, as we have
reported, not
only took a
golden statue
from Biya, but
went
silent on the
killings since Cameroon
was
chair of the
UN Budget
Committee.
But
it's worse:
Turk took
the position
from Fabrizio
Hochschild
Drummond of
Chile "who was
appointed as
Special
Adviser of the
Secretary-General
on the
Preparations
for the
Commemoration
of the United
Nations’ 75th
Anniversary."
This promotion
was,
ghoulishly,
Guterres rewarding
what multiple
staff say was
Hochschild's
relationship
with another
junior staff
member.
On
January 22
with the
failed 75th anniversary
complete with
the censorship
of critical
views,
Guterres recycled
this abuser as his
chief of technology,
while still
refusing
all questions
from Inner
City Press -
which was
answered on
Jan 22 by Andrew
Yang, and
by the IMF and
others.
And on
January 23,
from UN staff
who know, this
came to Inner
City Press:
"What is
actually most
astonishing
about this
appointment is
that a
Secretary-General
who claims
that the UN
under his
leadership is
making the
impact of
technology on
human rights a
priority has
chosen as his
"Tech Envoy"
someone who
profoundly
ignorant of
technology.
Without his
talking points
prepared by
others, he is
instantly lost
on any
technical
topic. He has
no clue what a
blockchain is,
what machine
learning is,
etc. How
can you be an
"envoy" to a
community that
you neither
understand nor
respect?"
Guterres
and those
around him are
corrupt.
One of
the staff
members tells
Inner City
Press it in these words: Hochschild's "promotion
to USG was
because the SG
wanted him out
of his office
after he was
caught having
an affair with
a junior staff
member. In
terms of power
play this is a
reward for
sexual
harassment."
Talk about MeToo -
the faux
feminist
Guterres covers up
and rewards
such behavior.
And later on
April 18 Ms.
Nahla Valji,
Senior Gender
Adviser,
Executive
Office of the
Secretary-General, was bragging
about Guterres
and feminism. What
hypocrisy.
We'll have
more on this -
while Guterres
and his
spokespeople refuse
to answer any
of Inner City
Press' written
questions, we
still have
sources, many
sources.
