On Haiti As UN Which Brought Cholera Feigns Aid US Is Asked About Sending Troops

By Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon Maxwell Book
BBC-Guardian UK - Honduras - ESPN NY Mag

UN GATE, Oct 12 –   The UN under Antonio Guterres cares so little about its staff that when one of them is kidnapped, as Inner City Press was informed by UN staff happened in Haiti, nothing is done about it, see below.

  Now the UN which brought cholera to Haiti, through its spokesman Stephane Dujarric who repeatedly lied about it, it angling to go back in. Yet on October 12, Dujarric could still not admit the UN brought cholera in, instead stammering that he wouldn't "relitigate" it. (Note: Guterres' UN claimed legal immunity, did not pay a cent).

  The US State Department, meanwhile, held a background briefing in which Senior Official 1 would not rule out sending US troops, and Senior Official 2 would not state how many Haitian are subject to visa bans.

  It should be clear: the UN is not the solution to Haiti. In fact, it killed 10,000 people there, lied about it and did not pay a penny. Antonio Guterres, while banning the Press that asks, has corrupted the entire UN system.

 This follows Guterres retaliating against staff who complain about his weakness on human rights, his censorship of critical Press, and his waste of public money.

 Guterres has had Inner City Press thrown out of the UN; his Melissa Fleming won't answer the Quinn Emanuel law firm's pro bono letter for a dialogue for reaccreditation, his spokesman Stephane Dujarric answers none of Inner City Press' written questions. 

 From within the MINUSTAH Mission in Haiti, this: "Hi Matthew, hope everything is well with you. Thank you for being the light of the truth for us, UN staffers in the field! We are truly appalled that nobody is talking about the kidnapping of a UN staff member, international, Security Officer in Haiti - Oliver Mfukululu Kwakele. He has been kidnapped along with a UN car on 23 May 2022 (held for ransom), and this fact is being well hidden. The kidnappers are asking for [voluntarily redacted] and the negotiator flew in from Colombia, although it took him 3 days. SRSG first said she would negotiate, then they asked for a professional negotiator. Oliver is still being held. I don't know why nobody is talking about it."  

Well, we are. Watch this site.
