On Venezuela After US Pompeo Took Guterres To Woodshed Arreaza Says Deepening Cooperation With SG

By Matthew Russell Lee, Video CJR PFT Q&A

UNITED NATIONS GATE, February 21 – When the foreign minister of Venezuela, or at least of Nicolas Maduro, Jorge Arreaza emerged from the 3 Sutton Place mansion where UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres lives alone and met with him on February 11, Inner City Press asked Arreaza two questions. Video here. On February 21 US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo asked to meet with Guterres. Now Guterres met Venezuela's Arreaza on February 22, after which Arreaza's ministry tweeted, "In the context of the deepening of cooperation with the #ONU Pro- #Paz welfare and well-being of the Venezuelan people, Chancellor Jorge Arreaza holds bilateral meeting with the Secretary-General of the United Nations Organization, Antonio Gutérres." Meanwhile Guterres and his spokes- / hatchetman Stephane Dujarric banned Inner City Press from entering the UN to cover Arreaza's press conference, or anything else. As much as Guterres tries to stack the deck, things may come apart for him, despite his cowardly remaining in the mansion to try to keep this job. Is this that the UN is about? Useless. Watch this site. On February 22 Pompeo's deputy spokesperson Robert Palladino said, "Secretary Michael R. Pompeo met today in New York with UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres.  They discussed ongoing events in Venezuela, as well as the importance of parties in Yemen beginning redeployments in Hudaydah." This is the inverse of the spin of Guterres whose spokesman Stephane Dujarric afterward issued this: "In response to questions about the meeting between the Secretary-General and the United States Secretary of State Michael Pompeo, the Spokesman said the following:     The Secretary-General and the Secretary of State discussed the situation in Yemen, in particular the implementation of the Stockholm Agreement and the importance of the parties to begin phase 1 of the redeployment from Hudaydah. They also discussed the situation in Venezuela and the region.        Stéphane Dujarric, Spokesman for the Secretary-General  New York, 21 February 2019." So did Pompeo ask Guterres why he stayed in his mansion and neglected to even go to the January 26 UN Security Council meeting about Venezuela? About his censorship? Guterres' goal seems to only be to get a second term at UNSG, by not angering Russia or China, or the US. But maybe the latter has happened, at least with regard to US Senator Marco Rubio, about whom Inner City Press asked Richard Haass on February 20, video here. Watch this site. On February 16, the US State Department has restricted Maduro's diplomats to within 25 miles of Columbus Circle in Manhattan, the same restriction imposed on those from Syria for example. Inner City Press tweeted photo here of order by Cliff Seagroves, Director (Acting) for the US Office of Foreign Missions. Back on February 11 Inner City Press asked Arreaza, first, did Guterres explain to him why he skipped the UN Security Council's urgent meeting on Venezuela on January 26? Arreaza said that the Security Council has not even come up his in nearly one hour meet with Guterres, who he called very positive. Inner City Press also asked if Arreaza while in the U.S. would be visiting the Federal Reserve, where Venezuela's accounts have been turned over to Juan Guaido. No, he said, there are other ways of dealing with that than the minster of foreign affairs. Now on February 12 US Senator Marco Rubio has directly criticized Guterres: "@antonioguterres playing right into #Maduro plans.  Fake @UN “negotiations” to divide opposition & buy time for protests to die down. Maduro will also want UN “experts” to blame #Venezuela crisis on sanctions.   When it comes to democracy & human rights UN increasingly worthless." On Cameroon that is definitely true -- Guterres has been in full cover up of slaughter mode, and has roughed up and banned the Press which asks. On Venezuela, Guterres' game has been to try to avoid the issue, staying in his/your mansion during the UNSC meeting, etc. Now he's been called out - this is just the beginning. At the February 12 press conference in the UN Guterres bans Inner City Press from, Arreaza said Guaido's first call is to Rubio. None of those let in by Guterres even asked about it...  On February 11, Guterres' spokes - / hatchet man Stephane Dujarric in response to "questions" from the correspondents he allows in and answers issued this: "In answer to questions asked about the Secretary-General’s meeting with H.E. Mr. Jorge Arreaza, Minister of the People’s Power for Foreign Affairs of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, the Spokesman said the following:     The Secretary-General reaffirmed that his offer of good offices to both parties remains available for serious negotiation to help the country out of the present standoff for the benefit of the people of Venezuela.     Stéphane Dujarric, Spokesman for the Secretary-General  11 February 2019." We'll have more on this. When Inner City Press showed up at Guterres or rather the public's $15 million mansion on the corner of 57th Street there was a large black van in front. But later Arreaza came with flashing sirens. The UN Media Acccreditation and Liaison Unit did not even include this meeting in its Media Alert, but allowed in Telesur and a Japanese TV crew which asked Arreaza, Do you have any message for Japan? To this has Guterres sunk. Video here. US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was in the UN Security Council at 9 am on January 26 for a meeting on Venezuela, as was USUN charge d'affaires Jonathan Cohen. Inner City Press went to cover the meeting, although banned from any entry of the UN now for 222 days by UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres amid questioning his conflicts of interest including on UN briber CEFC China Energy. At 8:50 am, Guterres' security remains in front of his / the public's $15 mansion on Sutton Place and 57th Street. While Guterres' Global Censor Alison Smale called the meeting "urgent," Guterres could not be bothered to be driven 15 blocks south to attend it. Vine video here. Now on February 11 Guterres is set to meet with Maduro's Foreign Minister Jorge Arreaza - in the same publicly funded UN mansion on Sutton Place and 57th Street Guterres stayed in on January 26, skipping the urgent UN Security Council meeting. Inner City Press which exclusively live-streamed Guterres skipping the meeting and refusing to answer why has since then repeated asked in writing, of Guterres, Amina J. Mohammed, Alison Smale, Farhan Haq and Spokesman Stephane Dujarric, why did Guterres skip the meeting? They never answered, despite telling UNSR David Kaye, Inner City Press on the public that they would answer such questions. Instead, in an ill-attended February 11 noon briefing Inner City Press was banned from his deputy spokesman Farhan Haq said he skipped it because he was going to Park East Synagogue that morning. But the meeting was at 9 am, and PES at 10:40 am. And diplomats like US Jonathan Cohen went to the Security Council then PES. We'll have more on this - including live-streaming as is our right from outside Guterres mis-used mansion. Back on January 26 once Inner City Press got to the gate, the meeting had still not begun. First there was a procedural vote whether to hold it - it passed with nine votes. China, Russia, South Africa and Equatorial Guinea voted no; Cote d'Ivoire and Indonesia abstained. Inner City Press filmed UNTV from a bus stop on First Avenue, Periscope video here, where a passer-by it asked if the UN could solve Venezuela just laughed. After Pompeo's speech - with Cohen behind him - Inner City Press headed north to a protest on 47th Street. Transit here, protest here. Then up to Sutton Place, where only at 10:35 am did Guterres finally leave his / your mansion, to long idling Mercedes. Inner City Press filmed it. It usually does not ask questions on Sutton Place, but this one called for it - "Why did you not go to the Venezuela meeting?" No answer. Video here, Vine here, January 28 question tweeted at UN Spokesperson here. But on January 29 Antonio "Charlemagne" Guterres rebuffed Guaido in a letter his spokesman Stephane "Expensive French Restaurant" Dujarric wouldn't even confirm, while banning Inner City Press for the 210th day: "The United Nations are ready to increase their activities in Venezuela in the areas of humanitarian assistance and development,” Guterres told Guaido in a letter dated Jan. 29 and seen by Reuters on Wednesday. “For that, the United Nations need, however, the consent and cooperation of the Government.”  Some reporting this didn't even mention that Guterres stayed in his mansion... Whatever Guterres' position, he should have gone. Full video here. The video was seemingly automatically de-monetized by YouTube. But to their credit, when Inner City Press appealed, YouTube on January 29 wrote back: "Hi InnerCity Press, Great news! After manually reviewing your video, we’ve determined that it is suitable for all advertisers:  "For Venezuela UNSC Meeting Guterres Does Not Attend As Banned Press Covers Protest and Vote" Thanks,  The YouTube team." The lawless UN of Guterres and his Global Communicator Alison Smale, and spokes- / hatchman Stephane Dujarric, has no appeals process; these three and others did not answer Inner City Press' January 28 question on this, on Cameroon's arrest of an opposition figure and the UN itself killing two civilians in South Sudan. Guterres is killing the UN - softly. Now on January 29, this from UN State Department deputy spokesperson Robert Palladino: "On January 25, Secretary of State Michael R. Pompeo certified the authority of Venezuela’s interim President Juan Guaido to receive and control certain property in accounts of the Government of Venezuela or Central Bank of Venezuela held by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or any other U.S. insured banks, in accordance with Section 25B of the Federal Reserve Act.  This certification will help Venezuela’s legitimate government safeguard those assets for the benefit of the Venezuelan people.  We call on other governments to recognize interim President Juan Guaido and take similar steps to protect Venezuela’s patrimony from further theft by Maduro’s corrupt regime." At 3 pm on January 28 this became public: "Today the Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) designated Petroleos de Venezuela, S.A. (PdVSA) pursuant to Executive Order (E.O.) 13850 for operating in the oil sector of the Venezuelan economy. PdVSA is a Venezuelan stateowned oil company and a primary source of Venezuela’s income and foreign currency, to include U.S. dollars and Euros. “The United States is holding accountable those responsible for Venezuela’s tragic decline, and will continue to use the full suite of its diplomatic and economic tools to support Interim President Juan Guaidó, the National Assembly, and the Venezuelan people’s efforts to restore their democracy,” said Secretary of the Treasury Steven T. Mnuchin." Afterward, US House Foreign Affairs Committee lead Republican Michael McCaul (R-TX) released the following statement in response to the Administration’s announcement to roll out new U.S. sanctions against Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro’s state-owned oil company, PDVSA.   “After years of mismanagement and plummeting production, the illegitimate Maduro regime can no longer be allowed to siphon off the proceeds of Petroleos de Venezuela at the expense of its citizens. Maduro’s socialist policies and systemic corruption have created a humanitarian crisis in which millions of people are suffering greatly. The United States and our allies must continue to use all tools necessary, including economic and diplomatic, until democracy is restored in Venezuela.  “I continue to stand with interim President Guaidó and the brave people of Venezuela. The Venezuelan military should stand with the people and help facilitate a peaceful transition of power. It’s time for the socialist nightmare of Nicolas Maduro to come to an end.” At the January 28 UN noon briefing Inner City Press was banned from, no one let in asked about Guterres' absence; spokesman Stephane Dujarric said they had only seen Guaido's letter "on Twitter" - a platform on which he blocks Inner City Press. Now this canned read-out: "On 28 January, the Secretary-General met with a Caribbean Community (CARICOM) delegation headed by the Chairman of CARICOM, Prime Minister Timothy Harris of Saint Kitts and Nevis, and comprised of the Prime Minister of Barbados, Mia Mottley; the Prime Minister of Trinidad and Tobago, Keith Rowley; the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Labour of Grenada, Peter David: the Secretary General of the Caribbean Community, Irwin LaRocque; as well as the Permanent Representatives of CARICOM Member States.       The Secretary-General and the CARICOM leaders discussed the situation in Venezuela and its implications for the region.  The Secretary-General took note of CARICOM’s concerns and reiterated his offer of good offices to facilitate dialogue and negotiation between the parties.      New York, 28 January 2019." Here now is from Pompeo's (January 25) interview by Gustau Alegret of NTN24, Q:  Guaido said this morning that Maduro could have amnesty.  Do you think that he deserves this amnesty?  SECRETARY POMPEO:  We’ll have to see how things proceed with respect to it, and ultimately, this will be a decision for the Venezuelan people, right?  These – this is their country; this is their effort.  It was the Venezuelans who are in the streets.  It’s their process.  The United States is aiming to make sure that they get a chance to do so in safety and security, and we’ve now identified resources – $20 million – to provide humanitarian assistance, demonstrating once again that the United States is a real force for good for the Venezuelan people.  We intend to remain so.  QUESTION:  How are you going to canalize or channelize this 20 million in humanitarian help?  The government is under the control of Nicolas Maduro.  Juan Guaido is just the leader of the National Assembly, so far.  SECRETARY POMPEO:  Well, he’s the interim president.  The United States recognizes him as such, and we will find a methodology by which to get this – these resources to the people who need them the most.  QUESTION:  Tomorrow there is a UN Security Council.  What do you expect from Russia and China in this council?  SECRETARY POMPEO:  Well, we hope they’ll come to see that the right path forward is to reflect the will of the Venezuelan people and to recognize President Guaido as the interim – as the interim leader of that country.  It’s certainly not what they’ve chosen to do so far, but we expect every country to see that what’s best for the Venezuelan people, what the Venezuelan people have demanded, is the outcome that the United States has now acknowledged." On January 28 from Australia's Foreign Minister Marise Payne, this: "Australia recognises and supports the President of the National Assembly, Juan Guaidó, in assuming the position of interim president, in accordance with the Venezuelan constitution and until elections are held. Australia calls for a transition to democracy in Venezuela as soon as possible. Australia supported the Lima Group’s early call for Nicolas Maduro to refrain from assuming the presidency on 10 January, relayed through our non-resident Ambassador to Venezuela. We now urge all parties to work constructively towards a peaceful resolution of the situation, including a return to democracy, respect for the rule of law and upholding of human rights of the Venezuelan people." Earlier this: Venezuela's military attaché in Washington, Col. Jose Luis Silva Silva, said  he's breaking with Maduro and supporting Juan Guaido. And on January 27, Pompeo said this: "The United States accepted interim President Juan Guaido’s designation of Carlos Alfredo Vecchio as the Chargé d’Affaires of the Government of Venezuela to the United States on January 25.  Mr. Vecchio will have authority over diplomatic affairs in the United States on behalf of Venezuela.     After his accreditation, Mr. Vecchio met with Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs David Hale, who reaffirmed the United States’ strong support for interim President Guaido’s leadership of Venezuela.  The United States looks forward to working with Mr. Vecchio and other diplomatic staff as designated by interim President Guaido." The EU put out this on January 26: "Federica Mogherini, High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy/Vice-President of the European Commission, held in these hours a series of conversations regarding the latest developments in Venezuela and the work of the European Union and its partners for a peaceful and inclusive democratic solution to the benefit of all Venezuelans.   Federica Mogherini coordinated the EU position, reflected in the Declaration issued this afternoon on behalf of the 28 Member States, through contacts, among others, with the Spanish and the Italian Prime Ministers, Pedro Sanchez and Giuseppe Conte respectively, the Foreign Minister of the Netherlands, Stef Blok, and senior representatives of the governments of France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom.   The High Representative also talked to the UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres" - what, spoke to an official who although living in a $15 million publicly funded mansion 15 blocks away didn't even bother to go to the meeting? Pompeo for New Years was in Brazil for the inauguration of Jair Bolsonaro. While there, he met Peru's foreign minster and others about Venezuela. On January 23 Pompeo has announced, "The United States recognizes Juan Guaido as the new interim President of Venezuela." Soon afterward, Maduro gave US diplomatic personnel 72 hours to leave the country. The US has requested a UN Security Council meeting on Saturday, January 26 at 9 am - Inner City Press will cover it through sources, but remains banned from even entering the UN by UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres, as bad and a more hypocritical censors that the strongmen he purports to criticize. (In fact, Guterres this month told UN staff that asking human rights questions of governments is "impolite" and arrogant," Inner City Press video here). On January 25, Pompeo's deputy spokesperson Robert Palladino announced, "U.S. Secretary of State Michael R. Pompeo will travel to New York to participate in an open meeting of the UN Security Council on the situation in Venezuela on Saturday, January 26.  During the Security Council meeting, Secretary Pompeo will underscore the Administration’s support for the Venezuelan people.  Secretary Pompeo will urge members of the Security Council and the international community to uphold international peace and security by recognizing Juan Guaido as the constitutional interim President of Venezuela, and call for support for the transitional government in their quest to restore democracy and the rule of law." Guterres, gallivanting in Davos, finally issued a statement through his spokesman Stephane Dujarric: "Statement attributable to the Spokesperson for the Secretary-General on Venezuela  The Secretary-General is concerned over reports of casualties in the context of demonstrations and unrest in Venezuela and calls for a transparent and independent investigation of these incidents.  At this critical time, he urges all actors to lower tensions and pursue every effort to prevent violence and avoid any escalation.  The Secretary-General underlines the urgent need for all relevant actors to commit to inclusive and credible political dialogue to address the protracted crisis in the country, with full respect for the rule of law and human rights" -- this while Guterres was having his guards brag and stop the camera of Inner City Press at a screening of Jeff Bezos' Amazon Studios' "Beautiful Boy" with Steve Carrel, here. Earlier this, from US State Department deputy spokesperson Robert Palladino: "Deputy Secretary of State John J. Sullivan met today with Guyanese Foreign Minister Carl Greenidge in Washington, D.C.  Both leaders commended the strength of the U.S.-Guyana partnership, and Deputy Secretary Sullivan affirmed Guyana’s sovereign rights and jurisdiction within its Exclusive Economic Zone.  They also discussed preparations for Guyana’s upcoming national elections as well as the importance of U.S.-Guyana cooperation for Guyana’s safety and security in light of instability in neighboring Venezuela. " A bit earlier this, from Pompeo: "The United States stands with interim President Juan Guaido, the democratically elected National Assembly, and the people of Venezuela as they peacefully restore constitutional order to their country.  We stand ready to support interim President Guaido as he establishes a transitional government and carries out his constitutional duties as interim President, including determining the status of diplomatic representatives in the United States and other countries.  We welcome interim President Guaido’s directive to all diplomatic missions in Venezuela that Venezuela intends to maintain diplomatic relations with all countries.  The United States maintains diplomatic relations with Venezuela and will conduct our relations with Venezuela through the government of interim President Guaido, who has invited our mission to remain in Venezuela. The United States does not recognize the Maduro regime as the government of Venezuela.  Accordingly the United States does not consider former president Nicolas Maduro to have the legal authority to break diplomatic relations with the United States or to declare our diplomats persona non grata.  We call on the Venezuelan military and security forces to continue protecting the welfare and well-being of all Venezuelan citizens, as well as U.S. and other foreign citizens in Venezuela.  We call on all parties to refrain from measures that are inconsistent with the privileges and immunities enjoyed by members of the diplomatic community. The United States will take appropriate actions to hold accountable anyone who endangers the safety and security of our mission and its personnel." From Brazil at the beginning of January Pompeo's Deputy Spokesperson Robert Palladino issued this read out: "Secretary of State Michael R. Pompeo met today with Peruvian Foreign Minister Néstor Popolizio Bardales [and]  applauded Peru’s efforts in accommodating more than 600,000 Venezuelan refugees and migrants who have fled the worsening economic and humanitarian crisis in Venezuela.  Secretary Pompeo and Foreign Minister Popolizio discussed the need to increase pressure on the Maduro regime to return democracy and prosperity to the Venezuelan people." Now on January 15, this from US Vice President Mike Pence: "Vice President Pence spoke by phone today with Juan Guaido, the President of the National Assembly of Venezuela, to recognize his courageous leadership following his arrest and intimidation this weekend, and to express the United States’ resolute support for the National Assembly of Venezuela as the only legitimate democratic body in the country. The Vice President firmly emphasized that the long-standing goal of the United States and all freedom-loving nations is to restore democracy to Venezuela through free and fair elections, and end the unprecedented humanitarian and economic crises in the once-rich cradle of Bolivar. Vice President Pence encouraged Mr. Guaido to build unity among political groups, and pledged continued support from the United States until democracy is restored. " On January 12, US State Department deputy spokesperson Robert Palladino has issued this"We stand with the Venezuelan people, and we praise the fierce commitment to democratic principles of the elected members of the Venezuelan National Assembly.  We commend the courage of the National Assembly’s leadership, particularly its president, Juan Guaido, and his decision to invoke the authorities of the Venezuelan Constitution.  We call on all Venezuelans to uphold and respect the role of the National Assembly, as established in the Venezuelan Constitution of 1999, and, in particular, for the security forces and the armed forces to respect all protections the constitution affords to Guaido and the other members of the National Assembly, especially their safety and welfare.  The people of Venezuela deserve to live in freedom in a democratic society governed by the rule of law.  It is time to begin the orderly transition to a new government. We support the National Assembly’s call for all Venezuelans to work together, peacefully, to restore constitutional government and build a better future.  The United States government will continue to use the full weight of U.S. economic and diplomatic power to press for the restoration of democracy in Venezuela."  On January 10 Pompeo issued a statement beginning: "The United States condemns Maduro’s illegitimate usurpation of power today following the unfree and unfair elections he imposed on the Venezuelan people on May 20, 2018. The United States remains steadfast in its support of the Venezuelan people and will continue to use the full weight of U.S. economic and diplomatic power to press for the restoration of Venezuelan democracy.  Today, we reiterate our support for Venezuela’s National Assembly, the only legitimate branch of government duly elected by the Venezuelan people. It is time for Venezuela to begin a transitional process that can restore the constitutional, democratic order by holding free and fair elections that respect the will of the Venezuelan people.  To advance this goal, the United States has taken aggressive action against the Maduro regime and its enablers. Most recently, on January 8, the United States imposed sanctions on seven individuals and 23 entities involved in a corruption scheme to exploit Venezuela’s currency exchange practices. By rigging the system in their favor, these individuals and entities stole more than $2.4 billion..."  On January 4, foreign ministers from 12 Latin American countries and Canada announced in Lima that their governments would not recognize Maduro as president if he attempts to remain in office and urged him to turn over power to the National Assembly. The Maduro government accused this Lima Group of "encouraging a coup d'etat" on instructions from the Trump administration. Mexico, which is a member of the group, withheld its support for the statement. Where is this going? On corruption, UNSG Antonio Guterres has for weeks refused Inner City Press' questions about why it is not a conflict of interest to refuse to audit CEFC when in 2018 it tried to buy Partex Oil & Gas from the Gulbenkian Foundation of which Guterres has been a paid board member...  We'll have more on this - and on Brazil and the UN now. When the UN's First Committee met for the first time in this 73rd session of the UN General Assembly, it was a fight and recorded vote on Day 1. Brazil proposed a briefing by the Secretary-General of the Agency for the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons in Latin America and the Caribbean; Syria said there should be more time to consider it. Finally Brazil called for action, and it was the United States and Israel which voted No, along with 27 abstentions, and 86 for. Elected Noël Diarra (Mali) and José Ataíde Amaral (Portugal) as Vice-Chairs joining Vice-Chair Marissa Edwards (Guyana) and Muna Zawani Idris (Brunei), the Rapporteur. Inner City Press, banned from the UN and its General Assembly and member states for the 93d day by Secreary General Antonio Guterres, could only live tweet, not ask questions. Committee chair Ion Jirga repeated told member states, the ball is is your court. It is not a good beginning. After Guterres for his own reasons had Inner City Press roughed up and banned since July 3, Llorenti's Mission has yet to respond to this, regarding (now) October 11: "find myself banned from even entering the UN, since 3 July 2018 when I was physically ousted while staking out the Fifth Committee meeting from the Vienna Cafe area, at the invitation of member states on the Committee. I would like to request that you / your Mission ensure that I can enter the UN to cover and hopefully ask a question at your Program of Work press conference tomorrow, and after that to cover / stakeout such meetings at the October 11 consultations on Western Sahara / MINURSO, which is almost impossible to cover without being in the building. As you may know, there are numerous Morocco state media given office space and resident correspondent status by DPI under USG Alison Smale, who has refused to answer a single one of my 10 e-mails. They will cover the Western Sahara meeting, from their perspective. I believe I have a similar right to continue this issue.
Responsible are Chef de Cabinet Viotti (who was called by the Reporters Committee on Freedom of the Press) and/or DSG Amina Mohammed. Or, pending that, please have the Mission bring me in to these meetings. The only written communication I have received from the UN is this letter from USG Smale, here." We'll have more on this.
