UNITED NATIONS
GATE, March 30
– How corrupt has
Antonio Guterres made
the UN? On the
environment, he has a
Deputy Secretary General
who signed
thousands
of back-dated certificates to
try to
legalize the
illegal
export of
endangered
rosewood to
China from
Nigeria and
China - and
who never
answered Inner City
Press'
questions
about it, preferring to
have it
roughed and
banned. As Executive
Secretary of
the UN
Biodiversity
Convention
Guterres
has Cristiana
Paşca-Palmer; consider
this sent
to Inner City
Press from her Romania asking
"asks the
Minister of
Environment,
Cristiana
Paşca-Palmer,
to urgently
respond to the
emergency
traffic
purchases in
favor of the
Conservation
Carpathia
Foundation,
following an
investigation
by "Nostra
Solva" - the
Federation of
Owners of
Forests and
Pastures in
Romania and
published in
the daily
"Power".
Owners of
forests with a
surface of up
to 30 hectares
will benefit
... "As
president of
the
Parliamentary
Committee on
the
Environment,
but also of a
simple citizen
concerned
about the
situation of
Romania's
forests, I
make a public
appeal to
Cristian Pasca
Palmer, the
responsible
minister, to
respond as
soon as
possible to
the very
serious
accused in the
press "Survey
Nostra Silva.
German
Promberger,
Conservation
Carpathia
Linker -
Ministry of
Environment »,
appeared on
October 19 in
the" Power
"daily," said
deputy Carmen
Moldovan. The
PSD deputy
states in a
press release
that the
investigation
revealed "very
serious
information
and
indications of
possible
criminal
offenses and
guilty
complicity"
between the
leadership of
the Ministry
of
Environment,
represented by
Cristiana
Palmer and
state
secretaries
Erika Stanciu
and Viorel
Lascu, and
various
foreign
businesspeople
with major
interests in
forests,
grouped around
the
Conservation
Carpathia
Foundation.
"In essence,
journalists
claim that a
publicly-funded
public
institution,
the Ministry
of the
Environment,
has been
confiscated by
private
interests, and
very powerful
businesspeople
have succeeded
in putting
their people
in key
positions by
the end of
2015. Through
the public
functions that
these people
are now only
promoting the
good of those
who have put
them in office
and supporting
the robbery of
Romania's
forests, "the
deputy
communiqué
said. Thus,
PSD deputy
Carmen
Moldovan asks
the Minister
of Environment
to clarify
this situation
and the
accusations
brought to
him. "If the
Minister of
the
Environment
does not want
to provide the
public
explanations
that are being
made then, as
chairman of
the Committee
on the
Environment, I
will use all
the legal and
parliamentary
instruments
available to
them to learn
the truth. The
accusations
against
Cristiana
Palmer and his
collaborators
from the
Ministry of
the
Environment
are too
serious to be
hidden under
pressure,
"said the
chairman of
the
Environment
Committee of
the Chamber of
Deputies.
Also, the PSD
deputy
addresses to
the Minister
of
Environment,
in his
statement to
the press,
some
questions: "1.
Have you
influenced the
projects
supported by
your
colleagues,
millionaires
in euros, from
the
Conservation
Carpathia
Foundation? 2.
Have you
influenced
traffic for
the project to
build the
Fagaras
National Park,
a business
entirely
controlled by
your friends
at the
Conservation
Carpathia
Foundation? 3.
How have you
been rewarded
for the
devotion
shown? 4. Are
you going to
resign from
being the
Minister of
the
Environment or
are you
expecting your
friends to
defend you? 5.
Why did you
not react
publicly to
the
accusations
brought to
you, since
they seriously
harm the
institution
you are
leading? 6.
Did you inform
the Prime
Minister of
the charges
against you?
Is he willing
to tolerate
another
minister in
his government
to protect his
private
interests?" Birds
of a feather,
in the
name of
biodiversity.
Guterres' UN
is corrupt.
He
and his team refuse to
even answer how he is
spending more replacing
and duplicating
UN Resident
Coordinators in an
illusory reform
for which
he among
other things
sold out the
Anglophones
of Cameroon
when that
country's
Tommo Monthe
was chair
of the UN
Budget
Committee. For
weeks Inner
City Press,
whom Guterres
had
roughed up and
ousted from
covering the
Budget
Committee just
after it questioned
Monthe,
has asked in
writing for
the names or even
just countries
of the
Resident
Coordinators being
replaced with
public money.
No answers,
sheer arrogant
corruption.
Now this, from
the Lusaka
Times: "Last
year, United
Nations,
Secretary
General
António
Guterres was
forced to
dismissed
complaints and
allegations
raised against
Janet Rogan in
Zambia by the
opposition
UPND.
Fahran Haw,
Spokesperson
for the United
Nations
Secretary
General said
the
allegations
against Janet
were not
founded,
ill-informed
and were
misdirected.
The UN also
dismissed
allegations
that Rogan
withheld an
election
outcome report
and the audit
of the voters
role." So
"Farhan Haq"
a/k/a Farhan
Haq will provide
propaganda to
the Lusaka
Times, but has
left these
Inner City
Press
questions UNanswered:
March 26-2: On
"reform," on
March 15 it
was said that
27 new
Resident
Coordinators
are being
recruited.
Since these
are not on the
SG's webpage,
now
this specific
question:
Renaud Meyer
has announced
himself as the
new Thailand
RR -- - is/was
this one of
the 27 posts
the SG and DSG
are recruiting
for? Where are
these
recruitment
notices?
Again, please
immediately
state which 27
RC positions
are being
recruited for,
and how much
it will cost
the UN and the
public.
March
22-3: ...now
this specific
question:
Niloy Banerjee
listed for
past one month
as Res Rep in
Malaysia,
Singapore and
Brunei -
is/was this
one of the 27
posts the SG
and DSG are
recruiting
for?
March
18-3: On
"reform," on
Friday it was
said that 27
new Resident
Coordinators
are being
recruited.
Since these
are not on the
SG's webpage,
please
immediately
state which 27
RC positions
are being
recruited for,
and how much
it will cost
the UN and the
public.... Etc.
The
reform for
which Antonio
Guterres began
his and
Deputy
Secretary General ongoing
sell out of
the
Anglophones of
Cameroon is
said to be a
power grab by
DSG
Amina J.
Mohammed from
UNDP, whose
Achim Steiner
had to agree
to being
stripped of
the system as
a condition of
getting made
UNDP
consigliere by
Big Tony. This is
how corrupt
Big Tony has
made the UN.
Inner
City Press on July 5 was
banned from entering the
UN, the day after it
filed a criminal
complaint against UN
Security for physically
removing it from
covering the meeting
about the UN Secretary
General Antonio
Guterres' $6.7 billion
peacekeeping budget, as
witnessed and
essentially cheered on
by senior UN official
Christian Saunders,
tearing its reporter's
shirt, painfully and
intentionally twisting
his arm and slamming
shut and damaging his
laptop. On August 17,
Guterres' Global
Communicator Alison
Smale issued a letter
banning Inner City Press
from the UN - for life.
With no due process. She
and Guterres have put
the UN in the US Press
Freedom Tracker, here.
Smale said,
again, that the UN would
answer Press questions
to the Spokesman
Stephane Dujarric and
his Office; Dujarric said the
same on
camera.
On March 29 more
than two
hours
before a
UN noon briefing by
Dujarric's
deputy Haq
Inner
City Press submitted 681 questions: "There
are more than 300+
questions UNanswered.
And Monday Sept 17,
Tuesday Sept 18, Wed
Sept 19 and Thurs
and Fri Sept 21, that
whole week, no questions
answered. Nor Sept 25,
nor 28th - nor October 2
nor 3. While
appreciating and using
what was sent on March
28 in partial request to
Inner City Press'
questions about the UN
bribery sentence of
Patrick Ho of CEFC and
CEFC's 2018 attempt to
buy the oil company of
Gulbenkian Foundation
which paid the SG, no
answers on Dec 17 or 18
or 19 or 20 or 21 -
another FIVE days in a
row, even as SG's direct
conflicts of interest
and failure to disclose
emerge, and a newest
low. No answers on
January 30 nor 31 nor
February 1 nor 4 nor 5
nor 6 nor 7 nor 11 nor
12 nor 13 nor 14 nor 15
nor 18 nor 19 nor 20 nor
21 nor 22 nor 25 nor 26
nor 27 nor March 1 - 27
(!) No answers at all
during those four days
of the US v Ho trial
showing corruption in
the UN says it all. This
ban is just censorship -
and Inner City Press
must be allowed back
into the noon briefing
to ask its questions in
person and follow up on
them.
March
29-1: On Nigeria, what
are the comment and
action of the SG and,
separately, DSG Amina J
Mohammed on that Federal
High Court Thursday
revoked the bail of the
leader of the Indigenous
People of Biafra (IPOB),
Nnamdi Kanu and ordered
his arrest?
March
29-8: On freedom of
expression, what is the
SG's comment and action
if any on that lawyers
in Chad on Thursday
presented an application
to the courts seeking an
order to force
government to lift a
social media blackout.
But the Appeals Court
struck out the case
allowing the government
to continue the blackout
which has been in force
since March 2018? AGAIN,
immediately explain how
it is legitimate to ban
from enter into the UN
the media that has been
asking about these and
other questions, with no
hearing or appeal.
March
28-1: On
Cameroon, what
is the SG's
comment and
belated action,
if any, on
Biya's Army's
attack on Abuh,
North-West
region, which
burned an entire
neighborhood to
the
ground. A
woman in her 40s
said she spent
three days
hiding in the
surrounding
countryside with
her five
children after
the attack:
“When I came
back to the
village, my
house was gone,
with everything
inside. I am
left with
nothing but my
clothes.” How
does this square
with UNFPA's
current
propaganda trip
to
Yaounde?
March
28-4: On
Pakistan and
press freedom,
what is the SG's
comment and
action on that
Pakistani
authorities are
investigating
five prominent
journalists and
a blogger for
displaying the
photo of slain
Saudi journalist
Jamal
Khashoggi’s on
social media
during Saudi
Crown Prince
Mohammed bin
Salman’s visit
to Pakistan last
month? AGAIN,
immediately
explain how it
is legitimate to
ban from enter
into the UN the
media that has
been asking
about these and
other questions,
with no hearing
or appeal.
March
25-5: On your /
Spokesperson
Dujarric's
recent podcast
interview,
please
immediately
explain what was
meant by a
relationship
with journalists
of "mutually
assured
destruction" -
and why the
podcast links
are mostly
404/no longer
online.
March
25-8: On the
SG's March 22
appearance on
96th Street,
please
immediately
provide the name
of the UN DSS
officer who
spoke to NYPD on
96th Street to
get them to
restraint in
advance Inner
City Press while
UN Photo and
others like AP
walked freely,
the basis for
this censorship
and any and all
records
regarding
it.
