UN GATE,
July 13 –
More than five hours
after the shooting in Butler,
Pennsylvania on July 13 on
which the EU Borrell,
Colombia's Santos and Uribe,
Argentina's Kirchner and
Mexico's Calderon had already
commented, there was nothing
from UN Secretary General
Antonio
Guterres.
Guterres
commened on the attempted
assassination of Slovakia's
PM, another in Ecuador and
even of a Hamas leader in
Lebanon. But despite an Inner
City Press email requesting
comment sent to spokespeople
Stephane Dujarric and Melissa
Fleming and others we'll soon
name, nothing from the
UN.
Guterres has had
the Press banned from the UN
amid its questions about
seeming incompleteness in his
financial disclosures, and his
Melissa Fleming has ignored
letters from two pro bono law
firms seeking
readmission.
The UN is
more than one quarter funded
by US taxpayers, and Guterres
lives for free in a mansion on
Sutton Place in NYC, not
paying even property tax.
Inner City Press
sent dozens of UN officials
this question: More than five
hours after it happened, this
is a formal request for UNSG
comment on the shooting of the
US presidential candidate
Trump in Pennsylvania at 6:10
pm on July 13, on which inter
alia Borrell, Calderon,
Kirchner, et al. have
commented. On deadline.
Nothing.
