| Last UNSG Election Was
Stolen by Guterres With Promises
to Tyrants and Vows to Ban Press

UN GATE,
Dec 25 –
As inside the increasingly
marginal United Nations a
process begins to select a
successor to Antonio Guterres
who stole the post from female
candidates in 2016 and drove
the UN into the ground
including through censorship,
it is time to review the
history.
Inner City Press, which
Guterres banned
from the UN as it reported on
his links
with briber CEFC China Energy
and to sex trafficker
Ghislaine Maxwell, both
convicted in the SDNY Federal
court, closely covered
Guterres' dubious selection,
and after. A book is
forthcoming, soon - but here's
from Chapter One, in which
Guterres steals the election
for UNSG from female
candidates, by making promises
to tyrants.
Amid much talk of the
UN finally having a female
Secretary General, and with a
half dozen female candidates
putting their names forward,
Antonio Guterres in April 2016
came to UN Headquarters in New
York to try to steal the
post.
While
pontificating about the need
for the UN to improve its
communications, he had no
Twitter account. His lead
spokesperson / propagandist,
Melissa Fleming, would go on
to brag how she could get UN
critics taken off the Big Tech
companies' platforms.
(Inner City
Press did in fact later have
all of its books including
about Ghislaine Maxwell and
Antonio Guterres' UN (Maximum
Maxwell), about
Guterres' Deputy Aminda J.
Mohammed (Identity Thieves)
and about Guterres and China (Belt
& Roadkill) taken down.)
But
Inner City Press didn't know
that yet. It had asked
Guterres questions on-camera
at the UN Security Council
stakeout when he was head of
UNHCR, on February 26, 2015,
about the treatment of middle
income countries like Lebanon
and Tunisia at the
International Monetary Fund,
where Inner City Press was and
still is a registered
correspondent invited to ask
questions including remotely
by WebEx, as it is denied by
Guterres' Fleming.
In the
first straw polls in the
Security Council, Guterres had
no fewer than three
"discourage" votes against
him. However, after secret
meetings with P5 members China
and Russia, the discouraging
votes
disappeared.
Candidates like
Helen Clark, and Kristalina
Georgina who would go on to
head the IMF and answer Press
questions, were passed over.
The UN was about to be Gutted.
