As Missiles Fly Over Strait of Hormuz UN Useless and IMF Spring Meetings Have Press

SDNY COURTHOUSE, April 1 –  How irrelevant has the UN become under Antonio Guterres and Missions like this month's President of the UN Security Council, Bahrain? 

Well, on April 1 while Bahrain and Guterres were barring Inner City Press from a UN press conference into which they allowed a UN Correspondents Association member who did a fundraiser with sex traficker Ghislaine Maxwell, in Washington the International Monetary Fund, World Bank, and International Energy Agency said they are forming a coordination group to respond to the economic impacts of the Middle East war.  

Antonio Guterres often pretends that while failing on wars and transparency, he is linking the UN into the Bretton Woods institutions. In fact, he is as invisible as his deputy Amina J. Mohamed, both made even softer by the softball press corpse they and Melissa Fleming have curated in UNHQ, GMax's old stomping (and grooming) grounds.   

 The three institutions decried "one of the largest supply shortages in global energy market history," with impacts they characterized as "substantial, global, and highly asymmetric." They spoke of coordinated data sharing, financing assessments, concessional lending, and risk mitigation tools.

Meanwhile Guterres' UN is blowing money in South Sudan on empty planes, in Colombia and elsewhere.  

 This is the culmination of a decade of UN decay under Guterres.The contrast will be on display at the IMF and World Bank Spring Meetings in Washington April 13-16, which Inner City Press has been accredited to enter and cover, unlike Guterres' UN which like Bahrain with its broken website and chat bot won't even answer written questions.
