UN GATE, April 16 – In the United Nations under Antonio Guterres, there is nothing but failure and excuses and fundraising on crises like Ukraine, Burma, Haiti and Cameroon.
There is impunity for sexual abuse by peacekeepers and UN staff like Juan Carlos Cunillera, just "along for the ride" during the UN sex-in-the-van exposed by Inner City Press.
But now as we looked at and asked about Guterres' omission of his links to UN briber CEFC China Energy, leading to him banning the Press (and Melissa Fleming continuing the ban, not even answering a law firm's pro bono letter), let's look at other officials:
David Beasley, with selfies from war zones and a big nest egg at home, hob-nobbing around with corrupt Spokesman Stephane Dujarric and benefiting from his banning of Press, here:
Residential property, USA
Three (3) real properties, jointly owned, USA
Stocks: First Carolina Bancshares; GLG Life Tech; USA
Investments: Swamp Fox Properties LLC; Darlington Properties LLP; jointly owned, USA Dividends, First Carolina Bancshares
Rental income, Darlington Properties
Real estate loan, Carolina Bank, jointly held
Real estate loan, West Yellowstone, jointly held
Beasley pretended he didn't notice when, with Inner City Press thrown out, he faced nothing but softball questions. Swamp Fox, indeed. No friend of Press freedom.
We'll have more on this.
