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 on
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.
