UNSC President Germany Bans Press and Tells Members How To Circulate in ECOSOC Corrupt

By Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon Periscope
BBC - Guardian UK - Honduras - CJR - PFT

UN GATE, July 11 – In the United Nations from which SG Antonio Guterres has banned Inner City Press 740 days for asking about his complicity in the killing of civilians in Cameroon and their mass imprisonment by China in Xinjiang, on July 1 German Ambassador Christoph Heusgen held a censored online press conference about the coming month(s) in the Security Council.

  Heusgen took questions only from pre-screened in-house correspondents, one of whose media has no story by her since 2017, another with no stories at all. ignoring or even pretending not to see a question about Cameroon by Inner City Press. Twitter here, Periscope here.

  Now Germany, ostensibly to get the figleaf of multilateral back on track, failing on Syria and not even mentioning the slaughter in Cameroon - while banning the Press that asks about it, of course - has put out rules for in person meetings of the Security Council. Insiders take them seriously, not noting for example the late night Security Council Inner City Press covered before Guterres threw it out, which was moved out of the Security Council because the sound system was broken.

  From Germany's letter: "Within the conference room, participants will be asked to circulate clockwise only and to respect the required physical distance of two meters (six feet) at all times. Two seats will remain unoccupied between delegates. All persons physically present inside the conference rooms are required to wear a face covering mask. Masks must also be worn at all times in common areas of Headquarters. There will be no distribution of documents in the meeting rooms. Likewise, all delegations should refrain from the distribution of any material or documents in the meeting rooms, on the tables and boards outside the meeting rooms or elsewhere at Headquarters. The meetings will be made public only by live broadcasting on UN Web TV." 

  So - not even the retirees and state media that Germany answers to. Pathetic. We'll have more on this.

  Twice in late June Inner City Press wrote twice to the German Mission to the UN, about UN censorship and then about UN sexploitation. The German Mission has yet to answer.

  Inner City Press has published that the driver, not even subject to the faux non-discipline of the other two men, works in UNTSO Procurement. We know the name. So what will be done? Watch this site.

 On July 1 Heusgen did not say a word about the slaughter in Cameroon, nor about the Tel Aviv UN sexploitation exposed by Inner City Press.

  The Program belatedly went up - with countries on which Heusgen ignored and censored questions: West Africa, for example. There will be COVID (which the UN helped spread in South Sudan) on July 2, "human rights" and UN Peacekeeping - UNTSO? - on July 7. Libya on July 8, West Africa including Nigeria / Cameroon on July 9. Colombia and Syria on July 14; Yemen (another UN failure) on July 16. Conflict related sexual violence, covered up by Guterres and Stephane Dujarric, on July 17. Cyprus on the 20th, Middle East on the 21st, climate on the 24. Then what? They never sent the Program. We'll have more on this.

When Guterres' spokes- / hatchetman Stephane Dujarric holds his noon briefings this month while refusing all questions from Inner City Press despite an on camera promise. And Germany? We'll report.

Watch this site.
