UN GATE, Feb 4 –Hours before the Beijing Winter Olympics a/k/a the Genocide Games kicked off, United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres was there, issuing a canned video and equally canned read-out with the IOC's Thomas Bach. It was shameful.
Inner City Press on January 24 in writing asked Guterres' spokespeople Stephane Dujarric and Melissa Fleming: "On SG Guterres' attendance at the upcoming Beijing Winter Olympics a/k/a Genocide Games, please immediately confirm knowledge by the UN of, and SG Guterres' response to, this letter." Nothing - no answer.
The February 4 opening ceremony, Inner City Press live tweeted, thread here:
now #GenocideGames opening ceremony. Even NBC has just said, albeit with qualifications, that China is "alleged" to be committing genocide against the Uighurs. Meanwhile UN @AntonioGuterres says nothing, except to praise Xi while hiding his links to bribes
NBC guest says viewers in China are not in the mood for spectacle, under COVID lockdowns. Not said: the Games are broadcast there on a delay, so that the slightly protest by a brave athlete (China knows they have Guterres in their pocket) could be censored 2/x
Today with IOC prez Bach, @AntonioGuterres : Amid "anti-Muslim hatred, to be here... it’s a fantastic message." Really? With host China mass incarcerating more than a million Muslim Uighurs, what is the message of UN's corrupt Secretary General being there?
Amid the #GenocideGames opening ceremony which UNSG @AntonioGuterres is bluewashing with a canned video UN only shares with its in-house propagandists, UN sends out "UNHCR’s Central Sahel operations are only 7 per cent funded." Because no credibility? #UNdecay 4/x Inner City Press @innercitypress ·
Xi stands with Bach, waving in a black glove. NBC says the Chinese flag carriers represent China's ethnic minorities. Yeah. Still @UN_Spokesperson has only distributed Guterres' prepared video to state media from China, Qatar, etc
Countries marching in based on number of strokes in their names in Chinese - early on, Malaysia, as EDNY court in Brooklyn prepares COVID-restricted trial of 1 Malaysia Development Bank prosecution of Roger Ng, since UN-supported Jho Low is still on the lam Inner City Press @innercitypress ·
Next in: "Chinese Taipei." Which countries will be renamed for China going forward? Note: In the United Nations of @AntonioGuterres , no journalist from Taiwan or its media, can even enter the UN. Nor can Inner City Press, since July 3, 2018
Now Portugal delegation does walk of shame at #GenocideOlympics. Still no mention at all of invisible / corrupt UNSG @AntonioGuterres , who flew all the way to Beijing with some craven face time with Xi.
Update: IOC Prez Bach, cover up man of silencing of Peng Shuai, starts speech in French and name checks his fellow genocide-supporter UNSG @AntonioGuterres . UN has said Guterres has a video to be shown, but only gave it under embargo to complicit geno-supporters
On February 2 US Senator Jeff Merkley (D-Oregon) said, "It’s shameful for António Guterres to appear at the games. The U.N. has basically failed human rights."
He may not know the half of it.
Dujarric bragged that Guterres would go "to Korea and then taking a plane to Beijing and then flying out commercially out of Beijing."
So the plane to Beijing is not commercial. A CCP private jet like UN briber Ng Lap Seng, or Patrick Ho? During the Genocide Games, Guterres will be "in the [closed] loop" and will, Dujarric said, meet with Xi Jin Ping.
Now this: the official translation services provider for the Beijing Olympics helps the Chinese Communist Party spy on Uyghur Muslims. iFlytek, with a history of assisting China’s Ministry of Security in Xinjiang and elsewhere, bragged in September 2019 that it was designated the 'Official Automated Translation Software Exclusive Supplier of Beijing 2022.' iFlytek might be used to spy on Olympic participants and attendees too. But Guterres only says good things about the Chinese government...
The UN did not exist in 1936 but it seems clear that Guterres would have attended the Nazi Olympics, too. At least if they, like China through the China Energy Fund Committee, flashed cash at one of Guterres' undisclosed funders, the Gulbenkian Foundation, and ensured him five more years of impunity in a Manhattan mansion not far from Jeffrey Epstein's.
Not asked about the state media allowed into the UN and Guterres' rare press conferences by his head of media accreditation Melissa Fleming, Guterres had received a letter to reconsider his attendance. Had Guterres answered, or even read it? Inner City Press would ask, if only in writing while it remains banned from entering the UN, and blocked on Twitter by China's Ambassador Zhang.
The letter concludes, "as the highest representative of the UN, your attendance will be seen as credence to China’s blatant disregard for international human rights laws and serve to embolden the actions of the Chinese authorities. We therefore urge you to reconsider your decision to attend the 2022 Beijing Winter Games." Fat chance. Fat Tony.
Sidebar on Tony's cronies: Qatar state media asked about why the UN escalators weren't working, to get him up the three flights of stairs to Al Jazeera's four large offices (there was, of course, a bank of elevators).
A retired French correspondent who had held a fundraiser with now-convicted global pedophile Ghislaine Maxwell asked a similar question in French. Dujarric, also French and a genocide denier for the UN's Secretary General who less gleefully covered up the Rwanda genocide, answered in French, and smiled.
"No more questions?" Dujarric asked rhetorically, glancing down at the empty mirror of those the UN's media accreditation chief Melissa Fleming allow to ask questions remotely, as nearly every institution in this time of COVID-19, the link of which to Wuhan she spent public money to censor. Then I leave you in the hands of Paulina Kubiak, Dujarric said.
The second spokeswoman in only four months for UN General Assembly President Abdul Shahid of the Maldives, also purchased by China, also going to the Genocide Games.
She spoke, without irony, about Shahid calling for an Olympic truce. This while the host was involved in the mass killing and incarceration of Uighurs in Xinjiang, or East Turkestan as many including Kurt Wheelock referred to it.
For her, there were no questions at all, not even about the escalator. It was over. The UN's legitimacy had died long before. But this was a new low, and a new season. And a next text, follow-up to Belt and Roadkill: Genocide Games of Guterres.
