UN GATE, Nov 19 – Two take-aways from COP 27: Antonio Guterres is a puppet who is handed speeches to read, sometimes the wrong speech, and the corporate media makes excuses for him, presenting his incompetence and corruption as funny, even charming.
Welcome to Sharm el Sheik.
Guterres was giving "his" speech, flanked by Al Gore, when he belatedly realized it was the wrong speech. He flipped through it, then admitted "they" gave him the wrong speech. Video here
The same "they" who, after convicted UN briber CEFC China Energy bid on the oil company of Gulbenkian, which paid Guterres money he omitted to including on his UN public financial disclosure, told him to go to the Genocide Games in Beijing, and cover up for genocide and UN rapes. "They."
But the media is complicit, with Al Jazeera and others making light of the mistake, very funny.
As funny as Qatar killing migrant workers to host a corrupt World Cup in the desert, air conditioning open air stadia while bloviating like Guterres about green energy.
As COP 27 ended, Guterres read out another speech, ironic if one knows his actual record of corruption and censorship: "justice and ambition require the essential voice of civil society. The most vital energy source in the world is people power. That is why it is so important to understand the human rights dimension of climate action.... Next month’s UN Biodiversity Conference is the moment to adopt an ambitious global biodiversity framework for the next decade, drawing from the power of nature-based solutions and the critical role of indigenous communities" - many of whom Guterres refuses to meet with, while his Melissa Fleming picks and chooses which "civil society" to allow in, now for the December 2 Csaba Korosi event, without accountability.
Guterres has Inner City Press roughed up and banned from the UN for asking about his omission of CEFC China Energy, and failures on Yemen and Cameroon.
The UN is dying, Guterres is responsible, and corporate and state media are complicit. Watch this site.
