UN GATE / PACER, Feb 27 -- Malaysia, whose people were victims of the 1MBD scam of Jho Low and Goldman Sachs, was strangely silence in the UN, on Ukraine.
Not among the 82 sponsors of Friday's doomed Security Council resolution; silent at Sunday's supposedly significant referral to the toothless UN General Assembly, at least twice in recent years bought by Chinese government bribes.
Kurt went east to the UN he was banned from, to see. At least on Saturday near dusk, there were no protesters, or rallies, or anything. The UN was irrelevant, but the correspondents they let in never said it. It was a shell game, like 1 MDB.
On 43rd Street Kurt passed Malaysia' Mission to the UN, where before being thrown out of the UN he had attended a number of good food, no liquor diplomatic receptions, often ending up in the yard at the back of the first floor with diplomats, eating spring rolls and satay from plastic faux porcelain plates.
It was locked up on Saturday, a stack of Wall Street Journals in front. On the front page was the Ukraine story, as it was everywhere, including on newsstands next to the NY Post and Daily News in a Chinese newspaper screaming, "SWIFT!"
The SWIFT threat was to cut Russia off from the global financial system. Now Putin said he was putting Russia's nuclear deterrent force on alert. It was coming to this.
Kurt wrote a second song about 1MDB, about Tim Leissner to be precise, making a rhyme with lying but not yet scapegoat. Sachs and shacks rhymed well. He held off putting the song online, in favor of one about the UN's ongoing failure on Ukraine. Sunday's UN meeting was even more of a clown show.
The claim was that referring the Ukraine issue to the UN General Assembly would do something. But UNGA routinely condemned issues from Cuba to the Middle East, with no effect at all. And in fact US administrations of both parties routinely dismissed UNGA votes where they were in the miniscule minority. Now they were bragging about this referral. The UN was more than a clown show - it was a joke.
Ukraine's Ambassador, too, seemed to have gone downhill, even over night. Days ago he had been criticizing Antonio Guterres as a stooge, correctly. Now he was bragging about Guterres having picked a crony, Amin Amad, to shill for money off Ukraine.
Kurt knew about Awad - when Awad had the humanitarian / UNHCR job in Sri Lanka, he had sold out the Tamils being slaughtered, and even imprisoned UN staff, Tamil of course.
And in the Security Council and at the zombie-obscured stakeout outside, Ukraine's Ambassador bragged about a filing at the UN International Court of Justice, the same Hague-based hothouse where the doomed case against Myanmar for genocide had recently been slowed by a full day of invective from a white-wigged shill for the Burmese military junta.
The UN system was all stories and lies about filing, nothing about action being taken, and little coverage of its failures, from rapes by its peacekeepers, to their spreading of cholera in Haiti nor Guterres' reign of corruption and censorship. It was a bigger ongoing scam than 1MDB.
Sunday night, after the circus left the UN, the 1MDB prosecutors of the EDNY filed a letter seeking to block Ng's use of cooperator Tim Leissner's community with Kimora Lee Simmons. Kurt wrote it up, bleary-eyed, and prepared the week of clown shows to come, including the first of the January 6 trials in DDC, that of Guy Reffitt, so far without any public call-in line. #TheWeaselOfWallStreet
Kurt had first heard of Jho Low while still in the UN, before he was thrown out. Jho Low appeared at a UN press conference in front of the ubiquitous and now defiled logo. #TheWeaselOfWallStreet, 1st in a new series
