LITERARY
SDNY, July 16 – When Josh
Schulte was held incommunicado and then
convicted under the Espionage Act in
lower Manhattan, the United Nations in
midtown had nothing to say.
Why
should they?
Under UNSG Antonio Guterres, the UN was
more than willing to rough
up and ban its critics, including
the Press.
And
yet, people continued to cite to the UN
system's vague bromides if they
supported their cause. For being a Magic
8-ball, the UN took five billion dollars
a year off the top, double that for its
supposed peacekeeping.
Inner City
Press before getting banned asked
the UN repeatedly about Wikileaks, and
Snowden, and the UN system's own
retaliated against whistleblowers.
The
Secretary General had said Snowden "misused"
information. Up at the Council on
Foreign Relations, recipient of Jeffrey
Epstein's money, John Negroponte
said Snowden should be
punished.
But Ed
remained in Russia, Zooming in wherever
he chose, while the UN banned the Press
even from its lame WebEx noon briefings.
Kurt
Wheelock perched over the free PACER
terminal in his beat in exile at the
SDNY courthouse decided to launch a
project.
Days after
Schulte in his pro se re-trial was
convicted on all nine courts against
him, Kurt went back over every mention
in Wikileaks in the Federal court
system.
There were
33 pages of citations, 325 cases in all,
beginning in a 2001 case against the
Republic of Sudan,
in the DDC, then the still ongoing 2003
case in
SDNY about the 9/11/01 plane
bombings.
Kurt took
out his pad and began writing them up.
This might be a new project, a follow-up
to Brutal
Kangaroo. Watch this site.
