UN GATE,
Sept 23 – As the UN General
Assembly week under SG Antonio
Guterres, who bans Press that
investigates him, got
underway, he met with Iran
Masoud Pezeshkian and praised
"Iran's important role." But
unlike his other photo-ops,
the UN withheld the video, for
hours and ongoing.
As noted
Nigeria's president Tinubu
bagged out, instead sending
his Vice President.
The UN PGA's
spokesperson Sharon
Birch-Jeffreys, who refused
written Press questions, told
one allowed in that she didn't
know if that meant Nigeria has
to give up its first-day
speaking spot.
Guterres also met with
Zimbabwe without mentioned in
the arrests of political
opponents, then grinned with
Canada's Justin Trudeau and
Bob Rae, who followed Guterres
spokesman Stephane Dujarric in
blocking the Press on X.
Today's UN
is in freefall, like bombs on
both sides of Lebanon's Blue
Line, as as the gabfest
starts. Inner City Press
applied to UN MALU's Melissa
Fleming to enter to cover UNGA
- as to letters from pro bono
law firms Quinn Emanuel and
Duane Morris, she refused to
even answer. Totally
corrupt.
