UN Beasley Takes Award from Coup Official in Sudan as UN Maintains Secret List of People Banned by Guterres

By Matthew Russell Lee, Audio

UNITED NATIONS, Feb 13, 2023 – How corrupt is today's UN, under Antonio Guterres? Well, while the UN claims to be concerned by the military coup government in power in Sudan, on February 15 the head of the World Food Programme - don't forget the "ME" that they put in it - glad handed with and took an award from coup official Al-Burhan, the "Order of the Two Niles." Photo here.

  In fairness maybe there is an explanation. But Guterres, even more troublingly sold out to China, has banned Inner City Press and his spokespeople refuse its written question. Inner City Press previously went and reported on failed UN trips to Sudan and South Sudan. Now, answers to long retired pseudo correspondents, and no answers to real questions. Totally corrupt.


The UN maintains a secret list of people banned from entering its premises. Even the Security officers who enforce the ban are not told the reason why a person is on the list: whether it was for actual violence, or writing articles questioning the Secretary General Antonio Guterres' misuse of public funds, for example.

  On February 13, 2023, Inner City Press which reports closely on UN corruption and failures, with sources all over the world, received from the UN without further explanation and no due process this:

"From: noreply at un dot org Date: Mon, Feb 13, 2023 at 10:32 AM Subject: [Indico] Accreditation declined To: Matthew dot Lee at Inner City Press dot com

 Dear Matthew Lee,  We regret to inform you that Your accreditation for the accreditation type Media under Matthew Lee is now declined."

 This while Guterres is wasting public money with three February 14 photo ops --- Beatriz Argimón, Vice-President, Urugua, Ian Borg,  Malta, , Bogdan Aurescu,  Romania  - while Inner City Press, which is bans, is arguing in the SDNY to unseal about OneCoin.

Earlier, one told Inner City Press the secret list includes "demonstrators" and "political activists," audio here.

  Guterres or apparently his head of Global Communications Alison Smale, if only as a proxy, can put a journalist on the list without any review, any notice, any appeal. It is a dictator's dream come true.

   Inner City Press was physically ousted twice by Guterres' UN Security as it reported on his now-15 flights to his home in Lisbon with public funds, his trading away of Cameroon human rights abuses for favors in the Budget Committee, and now his son Pedro's undisclosed business links in Africa.

In 2021, Guetrres and his head of Media Accreditation Melissa Fleming refused to answer a polite letter from pro bono law firm Quinn Emanuel. On December 2, 2022 I was banned from PGA Csaba Korosi's "Civil Society Town Hall" - his spokesperson Paulina Kubiak emerged to say an appeal to DSS was possible. It was filed on December 5 - but not even any confirmation of receipt. The UN has become North Korea under Guterres, and the UN press corpse / UN Censorship Alliance (UNCA) is complicit.


   Another UN Security officer told me, No one is going to help you. You are on the list. I asked him, who else is on the list? He mentioned “demonstrators” and "political activists" and others. Audio here.

  Tellingly, NOT on Guterres' banned list are those who pleaded guilty to UN bribery for example in the Ng Lap Seng - John Ashe case. They are not banned by Guterres, UNlike the journalist who most closely covered those convictions, and the current UN bribery case of Patrick Ho and the China Energy Fund Committee. Guterres is fine with bribery, but bans those who investigate and expose it.
