UN GATE / SDNY COURT, Aug 21 – The United Nations under SG Antonio Guterres turns people into thieves and censors.
This week's example is Daniela Gross. She has been getting paid public money in the UN Spokesperson's office for a long time, but never answering written Press questions.
On August 21 she conducted the in-person briefing from which Inner City Press is banned - and did not answer any of the Press questions submitted, including about the UN's links with Jeffrey Epstein's trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell, who was given a UN press conference and on who Terramar board UNSG Antonio Guterres had a rep in one of only five seats.
Inner City Press' other written questions, sent to the Spokesperson's office and beyond, involve its exclusive report on chief of staff Courtenay Rattray's memo about moving mobs out of New York, and rapes by UN peacekeepers.
This is simply stealing public money, particularly given the polite pro bono letter from the Quinn Emanuel law firm sent to the UN's Melissa Fleming - and Inner City Press' June 19, 2025 application to MALU to enter and cover UNGA80 - no answer at all after two months.
And note that Daniela Gross' boss Stephane Dujarric said, on camera, "We continue to answer e-mailed questions from Mr Lee/ Inner City Press," here.
This is censorship - and theft. We'll have more, much more, on this - as long as it takes. Watch this site.
