Substack UN GATE,
July 17 – 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. They are similar:
both are "moralistic
bureaucrats with no backbone
and no track record of
achievements, a career of
ambition and mismanagement
with no achievements. Volker
Turk’s chosen silences are
illustrative of a coward UN
led by his master [Big] Tony
Guterres. Shameful
times. This is not quiet
diplomacy, this is appeasement
and cowardice like never
before. The current UN is not
an organization concerned
about victims and peoples in
need, it is all about
bureaucrats survival. Volker
Turk is a a clear example.
Many of us do not recognize
this UN and we are embarrassed
by the current leadership. The
UN needs urgently a new High
Commissioner for Human Rights
and a strong Secretary
General." Grossi? He supports
his run by using his
position at IAEA and
staff time there, sock puppet
X accounts that when
Inner City Press identified
and questioned them, now
block Inner City
Press. This
is today's UN. "Amb Waltz, the
ball is on your court." Fat chance. So far,
nothing from Mike Waltz,
previously seen skydiving in
France then on a lone Sunday
show on CBS, unannounced -
self-booked? He blithely
signed the UN Charter. July 4,
after selfies on the ships in
the harbor, how much did he
pay in US taxpayers' money for
the UN roof? Delays on FOIA.
Now, a lone Trade Not Aid
hashtag, unclear from where.
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.
