UN GATE, Sept 15 – Since August 3, Inner City Press has each week end asked UN Spokespeople Stephane Dujarric and Melissa Fleming about the UN's planned "honor system" UN General Assembly week, without vaccination required.
On September 10 in a "press" conference from which he banned Inner City Press, Guterres again promoted his no-vax UNGA week, while saying he'll inject money to the Taliban and dodge a question about the Burma Ambassador targeted for assassination as prosecuted in SDNY court Inner City Press covers while banned from the UN by Guterres.
Inner City Press live tweeted the press-less presser here and below.
Now New York City has written to Guterres saying that those entering the UNGA Hall would have to be vaccinated, letter here, something banned Inner City Press has asked Guterres in writing about for months. But on September 15 his spokesman Stephane Dujarric confirmed on camera that the UN will NOT be requiring that, and said there will be a vaccination tent. But don't those kick in after two weeks? The UN violates NYC law, just as it killed 10,000 in Haiti with cholera. UN under Guterres is a Super Spreader.
South Korea, land of Ban Ki-moon and this second Moon: Presidential spokeswoman Park Kyung-mee announces President Moon Jae-in's plan to visit the United States to attend the upcoming U.N. general assembly at the presidential office in Seoul on Sept. 13, 2021. Moon will embark on the five-day trip starting Sept. 19.
Now this song
and analysis:
On September 21, while France's Macron was as of August 13 coming in person, by September 10 he is virtual, as did Chile. Guinea, post-coup, has been dropped from Day 1. Sept 10 list here. Watch this site.
From Pressless "presser" of Sept 10: Guterres just talked about his UN using new technology. But they got hacked, staff's information sold on the Dark Web, while his UN handed info on Uighur dissidents to China, won't answer Press about it.
Guterres name-checks discrimination. But he's firing even UN staffer working on the issue, won't answer Inner City Press' questions about petition(s) https://change.org/p/unsg-antonio-guterres-usg-smale-we-demand-the-un-restore-inner-city-press-access-to-the-un-as-a-resident-correspondent and (race)
On Afghanistan, UNSG Antonio Guterres says he'll find ways to "inject' money - he's an expert in that, hiding his link to UN briber CEFC China Energy, through Gulbenkian which paid him money they tried to sell its oil company to CEFC
Guterres says, Don't delay COP. He's inviting unvaccinated dictators to NYC Sept 21 - now says NYC gov will offer vaccinations on-site. But if they're two shot? No answer to Inner City Press' questions about this potential super-spread event.
UN Spokesperson Dujarric , who bans Inner City Press and refuses all of its written questions contrary to his own (worthless?) on camera promise to answer, give softball Q to Chinese state media
So Antonio Guterres has never heard of the (London based) Al Quds Al Arabi, to which UN Spokesperson Dujarric gives so many questions / statements - watch the video of current (Press-less) press conference
On Burma, UNSG Antonio Guterres is asked about the UN Ambassador who was targeted for assassination, as prosecuted here SDNY LIVE . He dodges and says it's up to the Credentials Committee.
And now it's over - no one allowed in asked UNSG Antonio Guterres about Cameroon, or Haiti, or retaliation against Emma Reilly, or why he omitted from his financial disclosure his link to UN briber CEFC China Energy.
This is censorship.
Late on August 27 Guterres issued a second internal memo which banned Inner City Press exclusively published, including:
"I also encourage staff who have not already done so to get vaccinated through the local vaccination programmes and report it through EarthMed."
Earth to Antonio: flying in unvaccinated delegations of dictatorships the UN supports, like in Cameroon, is contrary to New York City law - but Guterres asserts impunity, as on his ongoing ban on Inner City Press, not even answering the polite letter from the Quinn Emanuel law firm.
On August 9, journalist Benny Avni asked Dujarric about the letter, video here, transcript:
Question: My second question is the law firm ‑‑ what is it called? ‑‑ Quinn Emanuel wrote a letter to the UN asking about reinstatement of our colleague Matthew Lee into the UN press corps. Do you have any comment on that?
Spokesman: No. All I can tell you is that we've received the letter, and I'm not aware of any change to his status.
Question: You're not aware? I mean, aren't you part of the group that decides the fate of... or even the negotiations... The letter calls for renegotiation [Cross talk]
Spokesman: I decide the fate of no one. [Laughter] Trust me, trust me, my authority is extremely limited, whether at home or at work. What I can tell you and, joking aside, is that the letter has indeed been received, and I'm not aware of any... and there has been no change in Mr. Lee's status.
Question: Has the letter been answered? Do you plan to answer it?
Spokesman: It's been received. Whether or not it's been answered, I don't know yet.
The letter was received by the UN's Melissa Fleming, Maria Luiza Vioti and Tal Mekel and to each UNCA Executive Board member, to them citing UNCA's stated goals that it has a charter to supposedly uphold.
What's next? Since the letter, Inner City Press has published exclusive stories not only from the U.S. court systems but about the United Nations, including its agencies UNOPS, UNFPA, UNITAR and UNESCO. (Also credited in AP, Daily Mail, and Nigeria's Sahara Reporters, amid answers from the IMF.)
But none of its written questions have been answered by the UN Spokespeople, and it remains banned from entry to the UN's briefings.
We'll have more on this. Watch this site.
