COURT, May 16 – How corrupt is
today's United Nations? On May
15 the UN General Assembly
held a "informal interactive
dialogue" for the lone
rubber-stamp candidate to be
UN President of the GA, Volkan
Bozkir.
Since
there is no other candidate,
it was akin to a presidential
debate in North Korea.
And in other ways
too: Turkish "diplomatic"
Volkan Bozkir is best known
for saying,
after "drag queen" Conchita
Wurst's Eurovision win,
"Thank God we no longer
participate in Eurovision."
Yet
as Inner City Press predicted
on May 10, watch corrupt UNSG
Antonio Guterres speak warmly
about it. Now on May 16, just
after embracing Bozkir, this:
"UN Secretary-General's
message on the International
Day Against Homophobia,
Biphobia and
Transphobia 17 May
2020
The world marks International
Day against Homophobia,
Biphobia and Transphobia at a
time of great
challenge.
Among the many severe impacts
of the COVID-19 pandemic is
the increased vulnerability of
LGBTI people. Already
facing bias, attacks and
murder simply for who they are
or whom they love, many LGBTI
people are experiencing
heightened stigma as a result
of the virus, as well as new
obstacles when seeking health
care. There are also
reports of COVID-19 directives
being misused by police to
target LGBTI individuals and
organizations.
As the pandemic unfolds, the
United Nations will continue
to highlight these and other
injustices, as well as the
need for everyone to be
protected and included in the
response to the crisis.
Together, let us stand united
against discrimination and for
the right of all to live free
and equal in dignity and
rights." Guterres and Dujarric
are hypocrites and liars.
Guterres
believes in nothing but
himself, wanting to "run"
unopposed for a second term.
This should be denied. Here's
the notice, from another UN
office whose spokesperson Reem
Abaza like Guterres' Stephane
Dujarric refuses to answer
Inner City Press' written
questions about its
corruption:
"The
President of the 74th session
of the General Assembly,
Tijjani Muhammad-Bande will
convene an informal
interactive dialogue with the
candidate for the position of
President of the 75th session
of the Assembly, Volkan Bozkir
on Friday, 15 May 2020, from
11:00 a.m. – 1:00
p.m.
The dialogue will be held via
a virtual platform due to the
continued limitations on
holding large in-person
meetings as a result of the
COVID-19 pandemic."
Under
Guterres' Melissa Fleming, it
seems Inner City Press will be
denied video of the "debate."
Inner City Press, banned from
the UN and now its Zoom rooms
for 676 days, will have much
more on this. Watch this site.
