UN Censorship Redux By Florencia Soto Nino Takes Public Money To Cover Up Corruption


By Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon

UN GATE, Aug 24 – The UN has been corrupted by Antonio Guterres has Secretary General. He arrived and immediate refused to answer, even pretended not to hear, questions by Inner City Press, about Cameroon and his own link to CEFC China Energy.

  Then he had his spokesman Stephane Dujarric get Inner City Press roughed up by UN Security Ronald E. Dobbins and others as it covered one of Guterres' speeches, here, and the UN Budget Committee, video here.  

Guterres' designated censor Melissa Fleming, who uses public money for a vanity podcast, has kept Inner City Press banned  even from UN briefings on WebEx / Teams / Zoom of the kind it asks questions on at the IMF and attends at WHO. The UN is corrupt.

 Dujarric promised on camera that Inner City Press' written questions would be answered, here - but then stopped, and blocked Inner City Press on Twitter, and on WhatsApp on which he claimed to take questions.

  Guterres' Deputy Spokesperson Farhan Haq deleted or leaves Inner City Press' questions as soon as he gets them on WhatsApp.  

 Associate Spokesperson Florencia Soto Nino Martinez has joined Dujarric in blocking Inner City Press on WhatsApp. But on Aug 24, 2023 she was the spokesperson in charge - she was again taking public money.  She mistook at least two resident correspondents' names (including Al Jazeera) while getting paid but not answer emailed questions.

 She refused to answer any of Inner City Press' questions, including

Aug 24-1: On Niger - on which each of you have refused to answer Inner City Press' written question including where the Resident Coordinator is at this time - what are the comments and actions if any of SG Guterres on that the impact of sanctions imposed by regional bloc ECOWAS on Niger after a military coup on July 26. It has driven up the price of food inside Niger during the lean season, hampered industry and threatened a shortage of medical supplies
and including to those cc-ed (USUN) on that Section 7008 of the Department of State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2023 applies when “a duly elected head of government is deposed by military coup d'état or decree” or a coup d'état or decree in which the military played a decisive role in the ousting of a duly elected head of government 

Relatedly what are the comments and actions on this: the death of Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin, if confirmed, will test the resilience of operations by thousands of mercenaries active in Mali, the Central African Republic (CAR) and Libya.

 On Zimbabwe what are the comments and actions if any of SG Guterres on that Police in Zimbabwe have arrested 41 election monitors for allegedly trying to disrupt the voting process. The arrests came as voting was extended to a second day in three provinces of the country due to delays on Wednesday.

No answers at all. So who is Florencia Soto Nino?  

  She has no problem trying to promote herself. On Medium she describes her bike ride from Brooklyn to the UN; she puts a photograph with Guterres on Tumblr.

On Twitter she calls herself a "Digital strategist & communicator at  @UN" -- while having less then 600 followers. 

  One of her few public quotes is "to take the necessary precautions to ensure no sensitive content is public,” U.N. Spokesperson Florencia Soto Nino-Martinez said" -- apparently she thinks any answer about UN rapes and corruption, the UN in Western Sahara, or Burundi, or Cameroon, is "sensitive content."  

How much has she taken in public funds during this time, while refusing to answer a single question? Watch this site.
