As UN Rights Commish Volker Turk Faked World Bike Day as Staff ID Waste to Waltz But



As UN Rights Commish Volker Turk Faked World Bike Day as Staff ID Waste to Waltz But

UN GATE, June 4 – 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 Volker Turk

Volker Turk met with the French sponsored Marianne group.... Nice to see as Volkie hardly meets human rights defenders who keep been deferred down the crony chain of command. Hey Volkie, will you ever meet Chinese dissidents?. We do not think so.  Volker Turk is selective about his tweets and about his meetings as he wants to please French and appease Chinese authorities.   Meanwhile corrupt and liar Kim Taylor - attn Martha Elena Alves, Catherine Pollard - you have been warned to look into Kim Taylor’s /skeletons) announces 60 million shortfall. Well done Volkie. OHCHR will soon be bankrupted. But Volkie will continue favoring his kleptocratic friends.

Volkie will soon undertake a new trip with a media colleague and a cameraman, a new trip  towards irrelevance. Volkie will keep allowing junior colleagues to be fired. Hopefully no o e will notice he is the worst High Commissioner for Human Rights. Hey Tony may open Volkie’s extension, please do not ask what Volkie has achieved in 4 years…. Destroy OHCHR? Volkie’s extension, please do not ask what Volkie has achieved in 4 years apart from a meditation room, refurbishing his offices and an embarrassing cycling videos?  Destroy OHCHR. Bring OHCHR to it’s lowest of credibility and the highest of bias.

Amb Waltz, the ball is on your court."

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.

There's a new NextSG candidate, Maria Fernanda Espinosa. Two days ago she and her sponsor Antigua and Barbuda were sent a questionnaire about about this. So far, nothing. Watch this site.

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.
