UN GATE / SDNY,
Feb 19 - While Honduras'
president's brother is
awaiting sentencing for narco
trafficking in the SDNY court
in New York, today new US
Secretary of State Antony
Blinken issued a rosy read out
about and with Honduras,
below. This while he and his
incomding UN Ambassador have
yet to reverse the UN's
censorship of independent
American Press by the the
United Nations.
The UN, its
unaccountable senior
leadership and sychophantic
press corps all seem pleased
by the nomination
of perceived supporters to
represent the US from January
20 on.
Witness the
canned Q&A in the UN noon
briefing of November 23, which
again banned Inner City Press
- and its questions about UN
corruption and sexual abuse, Cameroon,
Honduras
and other UN failures,
here.
Inner City Press
before corrupt UNSG Antonio
Guterres had it thrown
out without due process
or appeal covered not only the
UN and its "Peacekeeping"
missions in Haiti and
elsewhere, but also Antony
Blinken (here,
meeting Prince Zeid) and Linda
Thomas-Greenfield (here,
after a trip to Somalia; Inner
City Press covered the UN
Security Council trip to
Djibouti).
Now on
February 11, while Guterres
tries to blot out any
challenge to an UNmerited
second term, this troubling read-out
of Secretary Blinken on and
with Honduras, hopefully to be
followed by some
accountability or
transparency: "Secretary of
State Antony J. Blinken spoke
with Honduran Foreign Minister
Lisandro Rosales today.
Secretary Blinken emphasized
our commitment to working with
Honduras to address the
structural problems that lead
people to migrate – corruption
and lack of respect for human
rights, lack of economic
opportunity, and insecurity.
They discussed continued U.S.
government support for
Honduras as it responds to the
COVID-19 pandemic and recovers
from the devastation caused by
Hurricanes Eta and Iota.
Secretary Blinken noted the
strong bonds between the
people of our two countries
and reaffirmed our commitment
to the bilateral
relationship." What about the
conviction of the president's
brother in EDNY, and the
mounting information about
CC-4, JOH?
So would it
be the case that Blinken and
Thomas-Greenfield would cast a
blind eye at UN censorship
and lack of
accountability, from Cameroon
to the banning of the Press
that asks? Watch this site.
