UN GATE, Feb 19 – After the current US Mission to the UN, complicit in Sec-Gen Antonio Guterres' cover-ups and censorship of Press, announced it would veto Algeria's Gaza ceasefire resolution, on February 19, 2024 it emerged the US would have its own draft. It has failed since.
The corruption was mirrored in farce at the UN Correspondents Association garish ball on December 15, 2023 - now to be repeated on December 13, 2024, an award to an actor, Theo Jones, gold prizes to its own state media members.
They charged their members, including Iran and China state media, $150 - and much more to others.
The event has previously charged Chinese businessmen like convicted Ng Lap Seng money for photos with the UN Secretary General. Who'll paid this time?
Jump cut to February 2024, when UNCA published the ballot for its Executive Committee "election." A clean slate, everyone elected. This includes, now, two representatives of China state media.
In fine CCP fashion, UNCA after publication of the above blocked on X / Twitter, photo here - in the name of the officers, reps of AP, NPR, France 24 and Le Monde. UN Corruption Associates.
The UN continues to ban all journalists from Taiwan, and to ban Inner City Press with Melissa Fleming and now Ian Phillips formerly of AP refusing to answer pro bono law firms' letters seeking the application of free press principles to the UN. We'll have more on this.
