UN
Guterres Says Suffering of
Others Gives Him the Right To
Demand Money Reuters Covers Up

UNITED NATIONS
GATE, July 14 –How
corrupt has
Antonio
Guterres made
the UN? Before
roughing
up and banning
Inner City
Press in July
2018 and
since as
it asks
about his failure
to disclose
his links to
UN briber CEFC
China Energy, on his
July 2019
junket to justify yet
another
publicly
funded stay at
his real home
in Lisbon,
Guterres was
quoted by Reuters
that the pain
of those in
Mozambique
"gives me the
right to demand
the international
community
double its
efforts." Photo

Guterres is
always making
demands, for
himself, for
other people's
money.
For living alone
in a $15 million
mansion, for
being driving
around in two
large 4 by 4s while roughing
upa and
banning the Press
which
asks how much
he's spending.
For the
record, Guterres got
his
friends at Reuters
to retract it.
But it remains up,

Guterres is a
corrupt
censor.
Back on 2
January 2018 Inner
City Press
asked Guterres
Deputy
Spokesman Farhan Haq
about his
failure in
Cameroon:
January
2, Inner City
Press asked
Guterres'
deputy
spokesman
Farhan Haq, UN
transcript here:
Inner
City Press: I
want to ask
you about
Cameroon...
There's been
quite a lot of
military
action,
including near
the border of
Nigeria, more
refugees.
Did Mr.
[Francois
Lounceny]
Fall, during
this 10-day
period, have
any
contacts?
Because things
seem to
actually be
getting more
militarized
and more
people killed
in the towns I
emailed you
the names of.
Deputy
Spokesman:
He's following
the situation,
and he'll
continue to
engage with
the
authorities in
Cameroon as
well as the
contacts he's
made on this."
What
contacts were
those? 18
months later
nearly
everyone
acknowledges
things are
worse in
Cameroon.
By the end of
January 2018,
long after
Patrick Ho of
CEFC China
Energy had
been indicted
and jailed for
UN bribery of
Uganda's Sam
Kutesa and
Yoweri
Museveni,Guterres
in Addis Ababa
met Museveni,
with Kutesa
himself in
Addis as well.
Museveni
tweeted a
photo and read
out -- "Met UN
Secretary
General
@antonioguterres
on the
sidelines of
the 30th AU
Ordinary
Summit in
Addis Ababa.
We discussed
regional
peace, UN
reforms and
support for
refugees."
Meanwhile,
consistent his
declining
transparency,
Guterres did
not issue any
read out. Did
the UN bribery
scandal come
up? Or get
further
covered up?
Cover it, it
seems clear. When
will Guterres
resign or be
impeached or
indicted?
