UN GATE, March 19 – The United Nations was the site of yet another failure on March 18, on protecting marine life. It was one in a series of failures, amid the UN's continuing clown-show on Ukraine. The Security Council is blocked, the General Assemble is toothless, and the Secretary General first told his officials not to call Ukraine a war, then tried to cover it up, banning the Press that asks.
Inner City Press is banned from entering the UN by Guterres or would have live tweeted the failure on the sea-protection proposal. But it is striking that those allowed in did not mention the role of China in the UN, for example. Instead, from a wire that has been silent on UN censorship under Guterres, this: "the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, negotiated in the 1970s, lays out rules for how far a nation's zone of influence extends beyond its shores. But despite two decades of consultations, there is still no treaty protecting international waters beyond national jurisdiction, accounting for about two-thirds of the world's oceans. Another contentious question is who gets a share of the benefits from the exploitation of what are known as "marine genetic resources". if a deal is not concluded in 2022 the chances of having a solid treaty are practically zero." Solid protection from today's UN? Absolutely zero
Two days before the Beijing Winter Olympics a/k/a the Genocide Games, United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres was on his way to attend.
Inner City Press on January 24 in writing asked Guterres' spokespeople Stephane Dujarric and Melissa Fleming: "On SG Guterres' attendance at the upcoming Beijing Winter Olympics a/k/a Genocide Games, please immediately confirm knowledge by the UN of, and SG Guterres' response to, this letter." Nothing - no answer.
On February 2 US Senator Jeff Merkley (D-Oregon)said, "It’s shameful for António Guterres to appear at the games. The U.N. has basically failed human rights."
He may not know the half of it. "The President of the UN General Assembly, H.E Abdulla Shahid, will undertake an official visit to China from 3-5 February to attend the XXIV Olympic Winter Games in Beijing. On 4 February, President Shahid will participate in the Olympic torch relay. He will receive the torch from the President of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), Thomas Bach. The President will then take part in the 2022 Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony in Beijing National Stadium. On 5 February, Mr. Shahid will meet with IOC President Bach, followed by a press stakeout. He will then watch events at the Olympic Games." Shameful.
Dujarric bragged that Guterres would go "to Korea and then taking a plane to Beijing and then flying out commercially out of Beijing."
So the plane to Beijing is not commercial. A CCP private jet like UN briber Ng Lap Seng, or Patrick Ho? During the Genocide Games, Guterres will be "in the [closed] loop" and will, Dujarric said, meet with Xi Jin Ping.
Now this: the official translation services provider for the Beijing Olympics helps the Chinese Communist Party spy on Uyghur Muslims. iFlytek, with a history of assisting China’s Ministry of Security in Xinjiang and elsewhere, bragged in September 2019 that it was designated the 'Official Automated Translation Software Exclusive Supplier of Beijing 2022.' iFlytek might be used to spy on Olympic participants and attendees too. But Guterres only says good things about the Chinese government...
The UN did not exist in 1936 but it seems clear that Guterres would have attended the Nazi Olympics, too. At least if they, like China through the China Energy Fund Committee, flashed cash at one of Guterres' undisclosed funders, the Gulbenkian Foundation, and ensured him five more years of impunity in a Manhattan mansion not far from Jeffrey Epstein's.
Not asked about the state media allowed into the UN and Guterres' rare press conferences by his head of media accreditation Melissa Fleming, Guterres had received a letter to reconsider his attendance. Had Guterres answered, or even read it? Inner City Press would ask, if only in writing while it remains banned from entering the UN, and blocked on Twitter by China's Ambassador Zhang.
The letter concludes, "as the highest representative of the UN, your attendance will be seen as credence to China’s blatant disregard for international human rights laws and serve to embolden the actions of the Chinese authorities. We therefore urge you to reconsider your decision to attend the 2022 Beijing Winter Games." Fat chance. Fat Tony.
Sidebar on Tony's cronies: Qatar state media asked about why the UN escalators weren't working, to get him up the three flights of stairs to Al Jazeera's four large offices (there was, of course, a bank of elevators).
A retired French correspondent who had held a fundraiser with now-convicted global pedophile Ghislaine Maxwell asked a similar question in French. Dujarric, also French and a genocide denier for the UN's Secretary General who less gleefully covered up the Rwanda genocide, answered in French, and smiled.
"No more questions?" Dujarric asked rhetorically, glancing down at the empty mirror of those the UN's media accreditation chief Melissa Fleming allow to ask questions remotely, as nearly every institution in this time of COVID-19, the link of which to Wuhan she spent public money to censor. Then I leave you in the hands of Paulina Kubiak, Dujarric said.
The second spokeswoman in only four months for UN General Assembly President Abdul Shahid of the Maldives, also purchased by China, also going to the Genocide Games.
She spoke, without irony, about Shahid calling for an Olympic truce. This while the host was involved in the mass killing and incarceration of Uighurs in Xinjiang, or East Turkestan as many including Kurt Wheelock referred to it.
For her, there were no questions at all, not even about the escalator. It was over. The UN's legitimacy had died long before. But this was a new low, and a new season. And a next text, follow-up to Belt and Roadkill: Genocide Games of Guterres.

Will Guterres be taking his Deputy Amina J. Mohammed, supportive of the killing and targeted detentions perpetrated by Buhari of Nigeria? See, Identity Thieves - and, forthcoming, Genocide Games of Guterres. For now, Belt and Roadkill.
