UN Guterres Flubs End of Year Questions After Rebuffed Qatar Migrant Workers Qs from Press

UN GATE, Dec 19 –   The UN community in New York, clad in tuxedos and expensive gowns and cloaked in impunity and anonymity, converged on December 9 for a glitzy event in Cipriani at 25 Broadway in lower Manhattan.  

Inner City Press, banned from the UN by Sec-Gen Antonio Guterres, was outside, asking questions. It asked Guterres, as he entered, why he had said nothing about the 7000 migrant worker Qatar killed when he visited the World Cup there.  Video here.

  Of course, Guterres did not answer. On December 19, Guterres took softball questions, including from a UN Correspondent who did a fundraiser with Ghislaine Maxwell. Video here. Even these easy questions, Guterres fumbled, unable to hear, or even see:

Transcript: "drones in Ukraine... Secretary-General:  The use?  Look, first of all... your first question, sorry, was? Before the drones?" &, "coup attempt in Germany. SG:  Coup attempt in?"

Transcript: "Secretary-General:  With the masks, I was a bit... Question:  Yeah, yeah. SG:  You have no mask, but the wearing of the masks, and I was puzzled. Q:  Thanks. It is the end of the year."

  It's nearing the end of the UN, at least of any credibility. And it's not just Guterres.

 Inner City Press asked UN President of the General Assembly why it had been banned from his December 2, 2022 "Civil Society Town Hall Meeting," and then lied to be his spokesperson Paulina Kubiak, that there is an appeals process. Video here.

UN DSS Gilles Michaud hasn't even confirmed receipt, much less deliberated on the appeal Inner City Press filed on December 5here.

It asked a UN Correspondent who did a fundraiser with global pedophile Ghisline Maxwell about it.

 And, in defense to the working paparazzi present, it filmed but did not question Kate Hudson, who it seems know nothing about the UN Correspondent Association whose prize she took.  Video here.

 On Twitter video live it asked Kubiak about the lie, and EU Ambassador Olof B. Skoog about being banned (he seemed to indicate he would do something, which would be easy for him - we'll see).  Twitter video 5 at 3:16, here

This is the corruption of the UN. Inner City Press' appeal to re-enter and ask these questions as is its right remains pending. Watch this site.
