UN GATE,
July 14 –
More than 14 hours
after the shooting in Butler,
Pennsylvania on July 13 on
which "world leaders" had
already nearly immediately
commented, there was nothing
from UN Secretary General
Antonio Guterres.
His last tweet was about
UNRWA; no blast email from his
Spokesman Stephane Dujarric.
Guterres
commened on the attempted
assassination of Slovakia's
PM, another in Ecuador and
even of a Hamas leader in
Lebanon. But eight hours after
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 except an out-of-office
email we'll soon
publish.
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.
Dujarric,
it appears, selectively
answered or emailed certain
state media who robotlike
republished it without even
asking where Guterres is.
Watch this site.
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.
