Substack UN GATE,
May 11 – How corrupt and
decrepit has the UN system
become under Antonio Guterres,
in this case due to Guterres?
Today's example is again from
the Office of the High
Commission for Human Rights,
to which Guterres appointed
his unqualified crony Volker
Turk more than two years ago.
From OHCHR
staff - "Dear Matthew Russell
Lee, Many thanks for exposing
corruption in UN under Antonio
Guterres and his cronies like
narcissistic Volker Turk. In today's
corrupt OHCHR the fish stinks
from the head. Narcissist
Volker Turk continues wasting
taxpayers money in useless
trips. After his Mexico
fiasco, this week he travels
to Mongolia and South Korea
(again accompanied by a crony,
his spokesperson and a
cameraman). Again thousands of
dollars wasted while
colleagues have their jobs at
risk and while Turk is
irrelevant in the big human
rights crises. In the
meantime his office in Geneva
is empty as staff barely goes
to work. Unearmarked
XB pays Turk’s
meaningless
tourism. Amb
Waltz, you should check how
Volker Turk wastes your tax
payers' money." Fat chance. So far,
nothing from Mike Waltz.
Meanwhile both Big Tony and
Amina junketed on April 15 to
the IMF which Inner City Press
is accredited to cover, and at
which it asked questions - but
not of Tony, as UNCTAD denied
Inner City Press to its "side
event." The UN is dying, or
being killed off. Inner City Press
re-applied to re-enter the UN
on June 19, 2025 - no answer
at all from Melissa Fleming,
Tel Mekel, Stephane Dujarric
for six months, then a denial
with no reason at all given.
Today's UN is corrupt.
