UN GATE, Nov 8 – The invasion of Ukraine took place step by step and at every point UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres tried to cover it up, or then to survive or benefit from it.
Guterres had just finished blue-washing Xi's crimes against the Uighurs, attending his Genocide Games in Beijing on February 4, 2022, when more pressing cover-up became necessary.
Would he be meeting with Vladimir Putin while in Beijing? Guterres' deputy spokesman Farhan Haq initially dodged the question, lobbed from UN-friendly Al Jazeera which bought the exclusive to Guterres' two coronations powered by Putin. Then Haq dutifully promised a read-out, if only to state media.
Watching the briefing on UNTV from the courthouse Press Room, Kurt Wheelock took his laptop out into the fire stairs and shouted at it. "He's lying!" Kurt yelled, the same phrase little Haq had deployed on him in the briefing room, before he was thrown out.
The invasion was going to happen, and Fat Tony Guterres was going to lie about it, surf it like a whale. How to expose him? Kurt shouted until it echoed throughout the fire stairs, up to the Department of Probation. Then he took his laptop back into the Press Room and uploaded.

Antonio Guterres' cover up of the invasion of Ukraine began even before the invasion did. In response to a softball question about a possible invasion on January 21, 2022 from Al Jazeera, which was given the exclusive of his two stolen elections, Guterres said: "I am convinced it will not happen."
The idea, it seemed, was to lull people, to allow forces to amass, past a point of no return.
It worked.

After the invasion fully occurred, literally during and in proud defiance of another windbag UN Security Council meeting, Guterres shifted to word play. Don't call it an invasion, his Department of Global Communications under Melissa Fleming ordered UN staff. Or more politely:
"Fri 3/4/2022 To: ALL UN Secretariat; Agencies, Funds and Programmes Guidance to staff on personal communications about the situation in Ukraine While it is understandable that many of us feel compelled to share views about the events that are unfolding, including in personal fora such as social media, staff are reminded of their rights and duties as international civil servants, which require us to act independently and impartially.
"Attention is also drawn to the '2022 Guidance on Political Activities' recently issued on iSeek by the UN Ethics Office.
"Accordingly, staff are asked to frame any communications on Ukraine as well as other political matters in a manner that is consistent with the position of the Organization and the statements of the Secretary-General." Photo here
Which, as we have seen, was that the invasion would not happened, or as a fall-back, should not be called an invasion.
Kurt meanwhile, banned from entering the UN, dug into the dockets in the SDNY and found a case in which Ukraine was dueling with a Russian oil company. He emailed Guterres' spokespeople Stephane Dujarric and Farhan Haq, Eri Kaneko and Stephanie Tremblay, repeatedly:
"what are the comments and actions if any of SG Guterres on Tatneft's drive for disclosures by Ukraine in the SDNY and other Us Federal courts, and Ukraine's $173 million debt to Tatneft, and its statements about 175,000 troops on its borders?"
No answer at all. The troops amassed, the force spread like Big Tony's belly and lies. To be continued.
