Million COVID Dead UN Guterres After
No-Vax UNGA Virtue Signals from UK

UN GATE, Nov 1 –
Many millions of people have
been impacted not only by
COVID-19 but by deaths caused
by it. And many expressions of
sorrow and outrage and vows to
fight the pandemic are
sincere. This is not the case,
however, for the United
Nations and its Secretary
General Antonio Guterres. He
is an opportunistic hypocrite.
At the
height of the pandemic in New
York City, Guterres personal
bodyguards kept their gym open
in UN Headquarters, against
all local rules. By September
2021, when NYC was checking
vaccination status and firing
public employees, Guterres
held an "honor system" General
Assembly where Bolsonaro of
Brazil came and tested
positive, and a P5 spokesman
got sick.
In South
Sudan it was worse: Guterres'
envoy flew in infected
Europeans then flew then out
again, against travel
protocols. Local UN staff were
left without social distancing
on busses, as Inner City Press
exposed based on complaints to
its from UNMISS
whistleblowers. The UN refused
to take questions. Guterres
kept Inner City Press banned
from each and every briefing.
After all
this, this: "Today, the human
family crosses a painful new
threshold — five million lives
lost to
COVID-19.
These are not numbers on a
page. They are mothers
and fathers. Brothers
and sisters. Daughters
and sons. Family,
friends and colleagues.
Lives cut short by a merciless
virus that respects no
borders.
This devastating milestone
reminds us that we are failing
much of the world. While
wealthy countries are
rolling-out third doses of the
COVID-19 vaccine, only about
five per cent of people in
Africa are fully vaccinated.
António
Guterres Glasgow,
UK 1 November 2021."
What a fraud, as on climate.
Guterres is a diplomatic
opportunist; his regime of
censorship must end.
Each day, the
current United Nations gets
worse. Usually we focus on
Secretary General Antonio
Guterres moving from
concealing his links to UN
briber CEFC China Energy to
banning the Press that asks,
to failures on Sri Lanka,
Cameroon, Haiti, Honduras
(JOH) & Nigeria (Nnamdi
& Igboho).
But today
the UN loses a journalist of
integrity, Apostolis
Zoupaniotis,
retiring to
return to
Greece. Even
after the UN
in retaliation
threw Inner
City Press out
of its UN
office, Apostolis
offered the
use of his
cubicle.
By contrast
the insiders
of the UN
Correspondents
Association,
while
purporting to
praise this
journalist
among with UN
Spokesman
Stephane
Dujarric on
three week
vacation in
Greece, have
neither
responded to
or offered any
explanation
when a
lawyer's
letter - to
each UNCA
Executive
Committee
member - urged
them to have a
dialogue about
ending the
UN's banning
and censorship
of Inner City
Press.
The
letter was
received by
the UN's
Melissa
Fleming, Maria
Luiza Vioti
and Tal Mekel
and to each
UNCA Executive
Board member,
to them citing
UNCA's stated
goals that it
has a charter
to supposedly
uphold.
What's
next? Since
the letter,
Inner City
Press has
published
exclusive
stories not
only from the
U.S. court
systems but
about the
United
Nations,
including its
agencies UNOPS,
UNFPA,
UNITAR
and UNESCO.
(Also credited
in AP,
Daily
Mail, and
Nigeria's
Sahara
Reporters,
amid answers
from the IMF.)
But
none of its
written
questions have
been answered
by the UN
Spokespeople,
and it remains
banned from
entry to the
UN's
briefings.
This must
end.
Having
asked for a
colleagial
discussion,
and while
still offering
it, things
must turn to
the law. UNCA
is a New York
State
non-profit
which has not
only not
abided by its
stated goals -
it has
tortiously
interfered
with a
journalist's
right to cover
the United
Nations.
The United
Nations itself
propounds
Article 19 of
the Universal
Declaration of
Human Rights,
and has other
legal duties
that must be
addressed by
national
courts,
particularly
in the UN's
host
country...
