SDNY COURTHOUSE,
June 6 – Linda
Thomas-Greenfield, the Biden
Administration's Ambassador to
the UN, traveled to Turkey and
said
she had "made clear to Turkish
officials that any attack
targeting civilians at
Makhmour refugee camp would be
a violation of international
and humanitarian law."
Then
Erdogan bragged he had taken
out the general in charge of
the Makhmour refugee
camp.
On June 6,
Thomas-Greenfield's Deputy
Ambassador Jeffrey Prescott
held a press conference call
about her meetings in Turkey.
Not all questions were
accepted, including Inner City
Press' on Halkbank,
Osman Kavala, the genocide
against Armenians, and Cyprus.
But
selected and given a question,
or speech, was Hezbollah TV.
After the speech, about why
the US is providing food to
Kurds, Deputy Ambassador
Prescott thanked Hezbollah TV
for the "good set of
questions."
There is a
problem here. It might seem
that the work of the US
Mission to the UN would
include advocating for
Americans, including US-based
independent media, to not be
excluded and banned by the
UN.
But so far,
Thomas-Greenfield and Prescott
who know, and Jeffrey
DeLaurentis who has been
directly told, have done
nothing about the UN's ban on
Inner City Press and denial of
all of its applications to be
re-admitted to ask questions,
after it was roughed
up and banned on July 3,
2018.
This
exclusion continues while, for
example, the IMF biweekly takes
and even solicits Inner City
Press' questions. So this is
pure censorship - we'll have
more on thie. Watch this site.
