UN GATE, Aug 19 –
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 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 will be
meeting directly
with Guterres
in the mansion
on August 20 at 2 pm.
This
would
violate NYC
quarantine
rules, for
which non-mansion
New Yorkers
are being
harassed by Mayor
de Blasio's
contact
tracers with
dozens of
phone calls a
day. So will the NYC
rules be
applied and
the meeting be
cancelled? Or
will Guterres'
impunity,
which has
included
having the
Press roughed
up and banned
right in NYC
with US
dollars,
continue?
For two
Saturday in a
row Inner City
Press streamed
video
of the
mansion,
empty. August
1 here.
July 25 empty
here.
Then on August 5
UN Deputy
Spokesman
Farhan Haq who
refuses Inner
City Press'
written
questions
belatedly said
Guterres in
"away" and would
quarantine
according to
the
regulations,
again at
public
expense, when
he returned.
On August
11 Inner City
Press between
court cases it
is covering
biked by
the Sutton Place
mansion.
Just during
its 20 minutes
there, two
separate men went in
and out of the
mansion
without any masks on,
carrying
with them
whatever
Guterres
brought back.
Video here.

Periscope
stream here.
This is
not quarantine.
From
the UN to
Inner City Press'
written
questions, no
answer, on August
12.
But on August
12, from
departing
Dutch PR Karel
van Oosterom, this:
"Honoured
to be received
by SG @UN
@antonioguterres
for a farewell
visit. Gave
him my book," and
a photo.
On
August 18
Dujarric
admitted, "he
did travel to,
he was on
leave. He went
home. He
travelled to
Portugal. He
came back
here. He's on
a strict
two‑week
quarantine,
and he
followed
whatever, the
health
regulations in
Portugal, as
well." Video here.
Guterres
should be impeached.
As
Inner City
Press reported
on August 4 when
Haq and
Melissa
Fleming had it
removed before
it could ask a
question on
Guterres' lame
"policy
brief" on
COVID-19 and
education,
Guterres'
embargoed
video was filmed
July 23.
In March
at public expense his wife
Catarina Vaz Pinto was with
him, just as she was in
September 2019 in expensive
seats at the US Open tennis
tournament as Guterres - and
she? - censored the Press.
