UN GATE, Dec 7 – When Dennis Francis took over at President of the UN General Assembly, his spokesperson Monica Grayley directed the press to his website.
But days later on September 11, under "Transparency," there were only two pages, both of which said "No posts." Now there are only seven funders of his office: Qatar, Kuwait, China and Saudi Arabia; then Morocco, Azerbaijan and Oman. That's it.
And on October 7, long after others had issued their statements on Gaza and Israel, nothing from UN PGA Dennis Francis' many spokespeople, who normally send out several canned statements a day.
But on December 7 Grayley, who has refused to answer written questions from the Press, announced Francis will travel to one of his six funders, Qatar: "from 9 to 11 December. The PGA will take part in the Doha Forum 2023 under the theme* “What now for Palestine”. He is being accompanied by two political advisers as well as a communications adviser. Travel costs are being covered by the OPGA’s regular budget and by the State of Qatar." Cha-ching!
Today's UN is a joke: Francis has belated put online a PDF of staffers - but NOT of who pays them, a minimal reform announced after PGA Ashe's indictment. It includes "Mr. Ralph A. Kader Special Adviser to the PGA (Strategic Engagements and Resource Mobilization)."
Among other things, Ralph Kader has been listed (and paid) as the "foreign minister" of the fake country of Monte de Agrella, which Inner City Press exposed before being thrown out by SG Antonio Guterres and still banned.
Inner City Press must be re-admitted to ask. Corruption.
