UNITED
NATIONS, September 4 -- Who heads the UN Censorship Alliance in 2013?
The purported power behind the thrown as we have shown is Reuters bureau chief Louis Charbonneau who has taken to spying for the UN. (Story here, audio
here, document here).
One wonders what Reuters let Charbonneau do in his
previous postings, in terms of getting (too) close the authorities he
was supposedly covering.
But
in 2013 the titular UNCA president is Pamela Falk of CBS News. She
too is a propagandist, but quite an amateur one.
Take a recent
example: Falk tweeted her own name as a hashtag, directing it cravenly
to US Ambassadors Samantha Power, Susan Rice and the UN Spokesperson.
What was the point? Apparently to show: I am out here. I am
propagandizing for you.
Under
Falk, UNCA held a faux "UN briefing" by Saudi-sponsored
Syria rebel boss Jarba, publicized only to those who paid money.
Inner City Press, on behalf of the new Free UN Coalition for Access @FUNCA_info has asked the UN at a noon briefing: was this really a UN briefing?
But the UN has refused to answer.
Rather,
anonymous social media trolling associated with UNCA has picked up, on September 4. The
idea seems to be the the UN Censorship Alliance can beat some
questions or questioners into submission.
Pamela Falk of CBS: Queen of the trolls? http://www.innercitypress.com/falk1un020513.jpg
The
response was a long time UNCA flunky, described as a Reuters retiree,
trying to block the question, then asking Ban Ki-moon's spokesperson
Farhan Haq, "Who does she work for?"
All
this happened right in front of Pamela Falk. This is UNCA in 2013,
and we will have more on this. Ultimately not only the other
Executive Committee members, but more importantly the UN, are
responsible. Watch this site.
