SDNY COURTHOUSE,
March 13 – How corrupt and
undemocratic is today's United
Nations?
Well, now that
Antonio Guterres is pushing
for a second five-year term,
while banning
the Press for the 984th day
for daring to ask about his
finances and failures, he has
collaborators.
The
current President of the
General Assembly Volkan
Bozkir, a strongman from
Turkey who due to his bigoted
comments even pro-UN New York
City Mayor Bill de Blasio
wouldn't meet with, has the
duty of circulating letters
from candidates.
But
throughout February 2021,
Bozkir refused to circulate
the letter of UN staffer
candidate Arora Akanksha.
Bozkir's
spokesman Brendan Varma, who
blocks Inner City Press
on Twitter, continues to dance
around what the rules are and
won't answer.
So, as a
test - and to raise the issue
of the UN's lack of content
neutral media access rules, lack
of a Freedom of Information
Act (fought for the Free
UN Coalition for Access) and
lack of scruples - Inner City
Press on the morning of
February 26 submitted a signed
letter
and C.V. to the PGA's Office
and to Varma.
Now in
March, from inside
the UN, this: "the website on
the process still shows only
one candidate, Guterres. One
applicant is Arora
Akanksha; another may be
Matthew
Russell Lee, according
to his Twitter account;
neither person has a national
endorsement, which could
prevent them from being
considered official
candidates."
There is
no written rule on that. The
UN is lawless, promoting
continued rule by a corrupt
censor, Antonio Guterres.
