UN GATE, Oct 21 –
In the United Nations under
Antonio Guterres, there is
nothing but failure and
excuses and fundraising on
crises like Gaza, Ukraine,
Syria, Burma, Haiti and
Cameroon. The nearly
over UNGA week, with sleeping
Japanese journalists and
Guterres lying about press
freedom and UN equipment shows
it.
There is impunity
for sexual abuse by
peacekeepers and UN staff like
Juan Carlos Cunillera, just
"along for the ride" during
the UN
sex-in-the-van exposed
by Inner City Press.
But now as we
again look at and ask about
Guterres' omission of his
links to UN briber CEFC China
Energy, leading to him banning
the Press (and Melissa Fleming
continuing the ban, not even answering
a law firm's pro bono letter),
on April 17, 2022 we published
on other officials - including
long time UNOPS operative
Vitaly Vanshelboim (whom Inner
City Press covered in
connection with UNOPS gag
orders before being banned
from UN by corrupt Guterres.)
We noted
that Vanshelboim's skeeze in
the S3i scam of UNOPS's Grete
Faremo.
While
others then noted for example
that a long time member of the
UN Correspondents Association
Gloria Starr Kins played a
role in hooking up the fraud,
they don't mention UNCA and
their role in banning the
Press. On December 13, 2024,
UNCA will put access to
Guterres up for sale again at
Cipriani: no questions have
been answered.
Now this: Spanish
judges say Vanshelboim will be
extradited on three of the six
charges against him there:
soliciting and receiving
bribes as a member of an
organization that receives
federal funds, wire fraud
through honest services, and
money laundering. But --
Vanshelboim’s lawyers have
three days to appeal the
extradition ruling.
From
Guterres? Silence, no answers
to Press - which has asked him
and Stephane Dujarric and
Melissa Fleming every day for
the past month -
censorship and corruption. A
fish rots from the head.
We'll
have more on this.
