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.
Inner City Press at 8:10 am
noted the quotes, and nothing
on Dujarric's X (which bans
the Press) - but Dooj finally
put it up at 10 am. Guterres
is on "annual leave,"
referring everything to
Courtenay Rattray - is this
really his quote? Watch this
site.
