UN GATE, Jan 13
– Antonio Guterres' four
years as UN Secretary General
have consisted of diplomatic failures,
on Cameroon, Honduras and
elsewhere, cover-ups
of UN sexual abuse and UN
bribers, including his own connections
with convicted briber CEFC
China Energy, and banning
of the Press that
asked.
On January
13, Inner City Press asked
Human Rights Watch director
Ken Roth questions, including
"how a second Guterres term
would be at all acceptable in
real human rights terms."
That part
of the question was read out,
albeit it shorter - and Roth
said among other things that
Guterres has been even weaker
on human rights than was Ban
Ki-moon (and that's saying a
lot). Video here.
But for Christmas
2020, violating what the
public is told to do with the
UN's WHO and by Joe
Biden, among others,
Guterres has traveled on
vacation to Portugal (and,
it's been said, then to the
UK). He is a
hypocrite.
Why did
Guterres thumb his nose as his
own organization's directives
and travel to Portugal?
Was it meet up
with his son Pedro, whose African
business deals like a
meeting with Rwanda Paul
Kagame Guterres has refused to
disclose or explain, when banned
Inner City Press
asked?
Well, with
Guterres in Lisbon, that
city's and his organ of choice
Expresso has begun Guterres'
campaign for an entirely
unmerited second term as SG,
with Helder Gomes writing (or
reciting,
dictated by Guterres) that
"the former Portuguese prime
minister will fulfill the next
12 months with the promised US
return to multilateralism. For
now, Guterres maintains the
taboo, but has already
indicated that he still has a
lot to do."
More bribes to
take? More civilians to sell
out, as he has the Anglophones
of Cameroon?
If the UN
is to retain or even regain
any of its credibility, there
can be no second term. And
groups like HRW should
actually work on that, and to
end UN's censorship of Press.
Just say no to Guterres. Song
