Failure Now UN

Selling SG and
Prizes to Theo
Jones and
Insiders

UN GATE, Dec 13 –
After the current US Mission
to the UN, complicit in
Sec-Gen Antonio Guterres'
cover-ups and censorship of
Press, announced it would veto
Algeria's Gaza ceasefire
resolution, on February 19,
2024 it emerged the US would
have its own draft. It has
failed since.
The
corruption was mirrored in
farce at the UN Correspondents
Association garish ball on
December 15, 2023 - now to be
repeated on December 13, 2024,
an award to an actor, Theo
Jones, gold prizes to its own
state media members.
They charged
their members, including Iran
and China state media, $150 -
and much more to others. It is
listed: F&B Starting Price
- $675.00 per person Site Fee
- $35,000.00
The event has
previously charged Chinese
businessmen like convicted Ng
Lap Seng money for photos with
the UN Secretary General.
Who'll paid this time?
Inner City Press on
the morning of Dec 13 asked in writing: "On
deadline, confirm that SG
Guterres is attending / allowing
access to him to be sold at
Cipriani South Street this
evening, and state what
safeguards if any are in place
to avoid the corruption that
occurred, as only one example,
when now convicted Ng Lap Seng
bought a table and got SG photos
at a previous, nearly identical
UNCA "gala." Also explain why
Inner City Press which reports
and published scoops on UN
Mission, UNOPS etc remains
banned from the UN."
Jump cut to
February 2024, when UNCA
published the ballot for its
Executive Committee
"election." A clean slate,
everyone elected. This
includes, now, two
representatives of China state
media.
In fine
CCP fashion, UNCA after
publication of the above
blocked on X / Twitter, photo
here
- in the name of the officers,
reps of AP, NPR, France 24 and
Le Monde. UN Corruption
Associates.
The UN continues
to ban all journalists from
Taiwan, and to ban Inner City
Press with Melissa Fleming and
now Ian Phillips formerly of
AP refusing to answer pro bono
law firms' letters seeking the
application of free press
principles to the UN. We'll
have more on this.
