UN GATE, Dec 15 –
In the midst of the war in
Gaza, with the UN failing as
on Ukraine, the tragic
corruptions was mirrored in
farce at the UN Correspondents
Association garish ball on
December 15.
They charged
their members, including Iran
and China state media, $150 -
and much more to others.
The event has
previously charged Chinese
businessmen like convicted Ng
Lap Seng money for photos with
the UN Secretary General. Who
paid this time?
It's hard to
know - it seems Casa Cipriani
sometimes outlaws photos, just
as Guterres first banned Inner
City Press from his photo ops
-- too many details - then the
UN as a whole.
Still, at least
two attendees put it out and
it was disgusting, given the
context.
Outside, Inner
City Press live streamed as
Guterres slipped in through
the back door; then Melissa
Fleming refused to say why she
has ignored pro bono law firms
letters to her about the First
Amendment and Press freedom.
Let them eat cake.
They claimed
Sharon Stone was getting a
"UN" award and refused to
clarify. Everything is for
sale - today's UN and its UN
Censorship Alliance are
corrupt.
Meanwhile UNCA beyond being
complicit in the ouster and
ban of Inner City Press from
the UN played an active role,
with UNCA members complaining
to and through their point of
contact Stephane Dujarric, who
emerged from the Casa in a
tux. A symbiosis of sleaze and
censorship. We'll have more on
this.
