UN GATE, Sept 7 – The annual ritual of the UN General Assembly week is getting more and more wan under Antonio Guterres.
This as he this week spends public money flying and lying from Kenya to Indonesia to Cuba. In Stop 2, Jakarta, on September 7 this telling read-out: Guterres "met with H.E. Mr. Li Qiang, Premier of the People’s Republic of China. The Secretary-General thanked Premier Li for China’s steadfast contribution to the United Nations and its activities" - and to himself. "The Secretary-General expressed readiness to strengthen cooperation with China in all the pillars of United Nations activity" - this from a man called racist by his staff, and who has colluded with and use dictators across the Continent, from Paul Biya in Cameroon to Bongo in Gabo.
In 2023 not only Xi of China and Russia's Putin for obvious reasons isn't coming - even French president Macron, and the UK's not-for-long prime minister are blowing it off.
That's four out of the five Permanent Members of the Security Council, those who on paper benefit most from the decaying UN, not bother to come. Guterres is lying about reform, including of the "international financial architecture."
Only Biden is coming - and the US is the country watching as Guterres hands post after post to China, while concealing his financial links to its convicted bribery firm CEFC China Energy, and banning Inner City Press which uncovered and asked about it.
The schedule released on September 1 still listed the "head of state" of Gabon, Ali Bongo, who pleading for (and receiving Guterres' useless) support to keep his family in power for another year after fifty.
Inner City Press on June 19 applied to Guterres' censoring sidekick Melissa Fleming for access to UNGA week, which she gives to countless blood-splattered state media of Saudi Arabia, Iran and even Cameroon.
No answers, even as the supposed September 1 deadline passed. The UN's time has passed. Watch this site.
