UN GATE / SDNY COURT, May 13 – UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres on May 13 in an internal meeting with UN staff predicted that the COVID-19 pandemic will get worse because some countries don't want to give international organizations like his and the World Health Organization more power (or "teeth," as he called it).
With a strange laugh, Guterres said If we can hunt with a dog, we'll hunt with a cat.
No UN staff member ask, with regard to WHO, about the exclusion of Taiwan. Nor, unless censored in the way that Guterres has censored Inner City Press for its investigative reporting, did they ask about Guterres' personal financial links to convicted UN briber CEFC China Energy.
Guterres seemed most committed to going forward with the UN's 75th birthday party this September, whatever the conditions in New York.
He proposed that each of the UN's 193 member states should sent only one staffer in to the General Assembly Hall, to watch pre-recorded statements by heads of state like Saudi Arabia's MBS and Cameroon's Paul Biya. (Xi Jinping, it is assumed, would feature prominently).
UN staff, or at least its union officials, were concerned about getting drivers licenses in New Jersey. Guterres, mis-pronouning the state's name, bragged that he has intervened in the matter. Is Governor Murphy putting out for the UN, and those under US sanctions?
Guterres, we note, has no respect for the laws of the US including the First Amendment or of its states. He allowed his personal guards to keep their gym open in UN Headquarters, international territory, long after Mayor De Blasio closed all the City gyms. Guterres said he saw some positive in the lock-down.
Inner City Press, now daily covering the Federal courts and jails while banned from the UN and even its Zoom rooms for 680 days and counting, will have more on this.
