UN GATE, April 18 – With the United Nations facing budget cuts and its Secretary General Antonio Guterres missing in action in his mansion on Sutton Place, the following from inside the UN was leaked to Inner City Press:
The current Chief of the United Nations Department of Safety and Security (UNDSS), Mr. Gilles Michaud of Canada, is reportedly planning a mission to the Gulf region and China, desperately trying to secure new funding.
As Inner City Press first reported, UNDSS faces a precarious financial situation, placing nearly 300 staff members—including directors and senior security officials serving in Africa and Asia—at imminent risk of losing their positions.
The prospect of receiving direct financial support from individual states—particularly without multilateral oversight—risks undermining the UN's claimed principles.
Then again, Michaud's DSS already let Guterres use it to rough up and ban the Press. A fish rots from the head.
From what Inner City Press has previously published:
Dear Council Members, UNDSS will no longer have a presence in approximately 35 to 45 countries, severely impacting field operations. In the remaining 120 countries where UNDSS will maintain a presence, regional hubs will be established. UN agencies will need to reconsider their operational footprint in countries where UNDSS will no longer be present. The USG emphasized that UNDSS is not a protection agency but a risk management and analysis entity.
Don't forget its role in censorship.

Inner City Press will have more on this.
