Guterres Holds
UNdisclosed

Nikki Haley
and P5 As UK

On Foot

UNITED NATIONS,
June 14 – UN
Secretary
General
Antonio
Guterres held
an undisclosed
late night
get-together
on June 14
with Nikki
Haley and
other
Permanent Five
UN Security
Council
members, Inner
City Press
witnessed and
exclusively
streamed, here. At 11 pm on June 14 from
the publicly
owned mansion
where Guterres
stays when he
is in New York
Nikki Haley
emerged, into
a 4x4 followed
by another one
of security.
France's
Francois
Delattre
emerged with
his wife and
got into a
black luxury
car, as did
China's Ma
Zhaoxu. The
UK's Karen
Pierce, to her
credit, had no
car idling and
waiting for
her, and
headed south
on foot. Video
here.
When Inner
City Press
first arrived,
it merely
tweeted a
still phone.
Already
evicted from
its office in
the UN for
pursuing the
Ng Lap Seng UN
bribery case,
Inner City
Press has been
informed that
the reason or
pretext for
keeping it
restricted is
that by
live-streaming
from the
sidewalk
across from
Guterres'
publicly
funded mansion
it had somehow
put Guterres
at risk. So,
for a month,
Inner City
Press shot
only non-live
video, none of
it yet
published.
But when Inner
City Press
arrived on
June 14, after
publishing 10
stories
ranging from
Yemen to
Cameroon,
Nepal to Mali
to the World
Cup, there
were five
black luxury
or security
vehicles in
front of the
UN's mansion.
Inner City
Press tweeted
a photograph,
did a long
Persicope it
didn't save,
then a shorter
one that it
did. Such a P5
dinner is
objectively
newsworthy:
there is no
basis for the
UN's attempt
to intimidate
the Press from
covering such
events. It's
just that
others don't.
