For UNGA Bozkir Spox Brenden Varma Bans Press Services Briber Ng As Did Bill Clinton

By Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon Periscope
BBC - Guardian UK - Honduras - CJR - PFT

UN GATE, Sept 15 – In the United Nations, a list of speakers for the UN General Assembly week Sept 22-29 has been released, photo here.

  On September 14, the day before Turkey's Volkan Bozkir took over as President of the General Assembly, Inner City Press wrote to his spokesperson Brenden Varma "to request the password(s) to access and ask a question at the September 15 press conference."

  Varma replied, "This will be my first hybrid press conference, and I’m not sure how virtual access works. Please follow up with MALU."

   MALU, run by Melissa Fleming, has not answered. So Inner City Press emailed Varma this question: Why is there NO CONTENT on the PGA's "Ethics and Transparency" page, given that this was the lone reform after it was shown that PGA Ashe took bribes from Ng Lap Seng, and PGA Kutesa arranged bribes from CEFC China Energy? How much did Mr. Bozkir spend on his campaign for PGA? Who paid for all travel? Who are the staff members and who is paying each one?

  The response? Brenden Varma, "spokesman" of PGA, blocked Inner City Press on Twitter. Photo here.

 So who is Brenden Varma? Well, as a lead up to censoring for Volkan Bozkir, Varma take a long interview to a media funded by UN briber Ng Lap Seng, here.


 Before that, Varma spun here for Bill Clinton on his abortive trip to Sri Lanka, the genocide in which Varma also helped cover up, along with his mentor Stephane Dujarric. Varma has been taking public money for a decade, to censor for corruption. We'll have more on this - Inner City Press has every right to enter and cover UNGA and Bozkir. Watch this site.
