UN GATE, Nov 9 – The UN warned its US staff to watching out on and after US election day, as Inner City Press first reported.

   Antonio Guterres, the UN Secretary General who rarely takes questions and even had the Press which asked him about his links to the convicted UN briber CEFC China Energy thrown out of the UN, rolled up in three large SUV vehicles to the publicly-funded mansion he usually lives alone in, just before the COVID-19 pandemic spread in March Video here, & YouTube and Facebook.

   Guterres typically clumsy and bribe-minded handling of the US election was followed, days later, by this: "The Secretary-General congratulates the American people for a vibrant exercise of democracy in their country’s elections last week.     He congratulates the President-elect and Vice President-elect and reaffirms that the partnership between the United States and the United Nations is an essential pillar of the international cooperation needed to address the dramatic challenges facing the world today.      New York, 9 November 2020   Stéphane Dujarric, Spokesman for the Secretary-General." Meanwhile Dujarric refused to answer written questions about Guterres covering up for UN staffer Kerim Elkorany, indicted for drugging and raping women in Iraq and the US. The UN is today entirely corrupt.

 in the election was quickly  the Manhattan landlord who runs the UN Correspondents Association Giampaolo Pioli broadcasts himself with a Biden - Harris sign, here. His increasingly infrequent output is just a front for his renting of apartments to war criminals.

  On November 4, Guterres' spokesman Stephane Dujarric who refuses even written questions from Inner City Press despite his on camera (now broken) promise here, dodged on the election, in a colloquy with a co-censor, video here. This as Guterres colludes with dictators like Paul Biya in Cameroon, and bans the Press that asks.

  A publication the UN lets in, as figleaf loyal opposition, has Stéphanie Fillion quoting two "former UN spokespeople," only one of whom is named (and wasn't a spokesperson). Who's the other? The same Bluewashing publication PassBlue, unlike even FP, takes the UN leak first published by Inner City Press in October without credit, just as PB has remained silent on its UN roughing up and banning the Press. What are the standards of Pass Blue Wash?

 On October 30 from the UN - which bans Inner City Press but which gets extensive leaks - this: "SECURITY BROADCAST New York Fri 10/30/2020 12:00 PM 

To: Broadcast - UNHQ NY Secretariat; Broadcast - Agencies, Funds and Programmes The Security and Safety Service hereby reminds that the outcome of the upcoming host country elections could spark both celebrations and spontaneous demonstrations. UNDSS is in contact with our law enforcement counterparts in monitoring the situation where our personnel are located and will provide updates and advice, via security email broadcasts, as appropriate.    In these uncertain times with COVID-19 and the possibility of civil unrest, UN staff and non-staff personnel are encouraged for their own safety to avoid crowds in general.      Should UN staff and non-staff personnel encounter a protest, it is recommended that they follow the general safety advice below:    •        Remain calm and carefully navigate to the edge of the crowd or where it is safest.    •        When possible, move away and seek refuge in a nearby building, or doorway until the crowd passes.  •        When leaving the protest area – walk briskly and avoid running.   •        If you are driving, DO NOT stop your vehicle in the area of the protest. Keep windows and doors locked.   •        Drive carefully through or around the crowd at a low speed and do not honk your horn.  •        Follow the instructions from local authorities.   •        For emergencies, contact local authorities at 911.       Do keep abreast of developments in your area by tuning into the live media reports which are providing real time information."

 On October 19 Guterres bragged that he will travel in two weeks to Massachusetts to meet his semi-estranged wife who lives in Portugal, a country from which quarantine would be required in New York. This is open evasion of quarantine rules - or not open, since it was said in a meeting several disgusted participants invited Inner City Press to observe.

  Perhaps most significantly, Guterres in the meeting expressed open preference in the current US president election saying that if one side wins, "Net Zero Emissions" can be advance, and if the other (Trump) wins, Guterres and the UN will rely on bankers like JPMorgan Chase.

Guterres also spoke about social media platforms - not the censorship of investigative articles but the need to censors more, citing what he called "Social Dilemna" a show he says he is watching on Netflix. We will have more on this.

Normally, one could ask Guterres' spokespeople to explain. But they refuse to answer questions, even for clarification of Spokesman Stephane Dujarric reference to two, and not one, trips. They are corrupt.

 After his return and faux quarantine for ten days, including maskless men going in and out of his mansion, on August 19 Guterres' spokesman Stephane Dujarric said that US Secretary of State would be meeting directly with Guterres in the mansion on August 20 at 2 pm, see below.

   Meanwhile Guterres ordered UN headquarters staff to return to New York by September 15 - or two weeks before, so that they (unlike him) can quarantine. See video leaked to Inner City Press, here, including on that Guterres' contempt for the public is spreading.

  On August 20 Inner City Press, though also covering the indictment and arraignment of Steve Bannon in the SDNY courthouse it covers, rushed uptown to see if this blatant violation of quarantine by Guterres would take place. It did: streaming Periscope video here; now on YouTube here. There were many UN staff and security, a waste of public money occasioned only by Guterres' selfishness and arrogance.
