UN GATE, June 5 – How corrupt is today's UN? Now after Secretary General was caught on a FISA wiretap confirming his collusion with Putin as with Xi, this time to help sell ammonia and try to re-SWIFT banks, there's a single election for the 2024-5 Security Council seats.
Belarus was the initial candidate, just the way the other four countries slated for the Council got their seats: the open slate.
Understandably stoked up, Slovenia threw its hat in the ring.
But it has no self-confidence, apparently, and joins in the UN's opacity.
On June 5, Slovenia has scheduled a "press conference" in the UN Press Briefing Room, from which Guterres' spokesman Stephane Dujarric has had Inner City Press banned.
But no one other than the state media and retirees that Dujarric and Melissa Fleming in can see it.
There will be no UNTV webcast for anyone else to see it:
"3:30 pm Press Briefing Room, S-237 Press Briefing by Ms. Tanja Fajon, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Slovenia ahead of the Security Council Elections (No UNTV / Webcast)"
Pathetic. This is how far today's UN has fallen.
Hours later, in response, this flip flop: "3:30 pm Press Briefing Room, S-237 Hybrid Press Briefing by H.E. Ms. Tanja Fajon, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Slovenia and Amb. Boštjan Malovrh, Permanent Representative of the Republic of Slovenia to the United Nations. They will speak on the upcoming Security Council elections This event will be streamed live on UN web TV."
It was - with a UN correspondent who did a fundraiser with convicted global pedophile Ghislaine Maxwell in the front row. Tanja Fajon spoke by rote including about "preserving the situation" in the Middle East - what, as it is? - and repeating about speaking with "Africa," without anyone asking her for her country's position on the conflicts in Sudan, Ethiopia, DRC and Cameroon.
Slovenia did nothing to ensure that the Press could ask any of those questions - quite the contrary. Not a good start, unless Slovenia means to join the censors.
We'll have more on this.
