UN GATE,
Dec 29 –
As inside the increasingly
marginal United Nations a
process begins to select a
successor to Antonio Guterres
who banned
Inner City
Press from the
UN as it
reported on
his links
with briber
CEFC China
Energy and to
sex trafficker
Ghislaine
Maxwell,
it is time to review the
history. Part 10:
From
early on, Guterres spread his corruption
throughout the UN system. In late April 2017
he met with the retaliatory head of the
World Intellectual Property Organization -
and when Inner City Press asked Dujarric for
a read-out, there was none.
Downtown in
the SDNY courthouse, the Ng Lap Seng / South
South prosecution saw a Superseding
Information which identified Francis Lorenzo
as an "agent" of the UN, and Ng Lap Seng as
funding the education of a UN staffer.
Dujarric had no answers, and Guterres did
not clean up.
He was lining up,
even though, with the next indicted briber,
the China Energy Fund Committee.
Also Citigroup, villain in the US Predatory
Bender financial crisis. On May 30, 2017
while already eschewing questions inside the
UN, except from hand-picked fans, Guterres
ventured south to NYU when he took a
question from.. Citigroup. And praised
them.
His
Deputy Amina J. Mohammed went and partied
with the Cameroonian mission of Paul Biya;
Inner City Press went and filmed. Later it
would be while questioning Cameroon
Ambassador Tommo Monthe about the UN budget
that Guterres would have Inner City Press
roughed up and banned. This is where
Guterres was headed, five months into his
tenure. Already his spokeman Dujarric was
declining Inner City Press' request for
Guterres' comment on Cameroon putting on
trial, with the death penalty on the table,
former UN staffer Agbor
Balla.
By July 2017,
Guterres was even moving his photo ops out
of the UN up to the 57th Street and Sutton
Place mansion he was living alone in. Inner
City Press rushed up to cover the photo op
with Colombia's Foreign Minister Maria
Angela Holguin Cuellar, to whom Guterres
would later dole a job - and on the way
there, was urged to stop filming by a board
member of UNCA, formerly the UN
Correspondents Asssociation, by now the UN
Censorship Alliance. Their campaign to get
Inner City Press would soon be brought to
fruition. But the coverage will not stop.
