Amid UN Failure Now UN Censorship Alliance Selling SG and Prizes to Theo Jones and Insiders


by Matthew Russell Lee

UN GATE, Dec 13 – After the current US Mission to the UN, complicit in Sec-Gen Antonio Guterres' cover-ups and censorship of Press, announced it would veto Algeria's Gaza ceasefire resolution, on February 19, 2024 it emerged the US would have its own draft. It has failed since.

  The corruption was mirrored in farce at the UN Correspondents Association garish ball on December 15, 2023 - now to be repeated on December 13, 2024, an award to an actor, Theo Jones, gold prizes to its own state media members.

They charged their members, including Iran and China state media, $150 - and much more to others. It is listed: F&B Starting Price - $675.00 per person Site Fee - $35,000.00

The event has previously charged Chinese businessmen like convicted Ng Lap Seng money for photos with the UN Secretary General. Who'll paid this time?

Inner City Press on the morning of Dec 13 asked in writing: "On deadline, confirm that SG Guterres is attending / allowing access to him to be sold at Cipriani South Street this evening, and state what safeguards if any are in place to avoid the corruption that occurred, as only one example, when now convicted Ng Lap Seng bought a table and got SG photos at a previous, nearly identical UNCA "gala." Also explain why Inner City Press which reports and published scoops on UN Mission, UNOPS etc remains banned from the UN."

Jump cut to February 2024, when UNCA published the ballot for its Executive Committee "election." A clean slate, everyone elected. This includes, now, two representatives of China state media.

  In fine CCP fashion, UNCA after publication of the above blocked on X / Twitter, photo here - in the name of the officers, reps of AP, NPR, France 24 and Le Monde. UN Corruption Associates.

The UN continues to ban all journalists from Taiwan, and to ban Inner City Press with Melissa Fleming and now Ian Phillips formerly of AP refusing to answer pro bono law firms' letters seeking the application of free press principles to the UN. We'll have more on this.
