UN GATE, Nov 13 –
Amid Gaza the UN Security
Council's failure continued on
Friday, November 10. On
November 12, UNSG Antonio
Guterres on CNN - to defend
himself. He complained: "when
this is commented by the
Israeli government or the
ambassador, whatever, they put
the first part of the
sentence."
He was dismissive
of the Saudi bombing of
children on Yemen which he
covered up at the time: "If
you remember, the polemics
about the uproar about the
Saudi bombardments in Yemen.
600 people in one year." Yeah,
polemics.
The next
day, Guterres met with Bernie
Sanders but issued no
read-out. Instead, this from
Team Bernie: "Sens. Bernie
Sanders (I-Vt.) and Peter
Welch (D-Vt.) met with
Secretary-General of the U.N.
António Guterres, the
Permanent Representative of
Israel to the U.N. H.E. Gilad
Erdan [and Linda
Thomas-Greenfield].
The
senators stated: 'In our
meeting with U.N.
Secretary-General Guterres, we
expressed condolences" - this
the day after Guterres called
criticism of him over deaths
in Yemen, which Sanders
previously raised, a
"polemic."
Meanwhile,
despite a Friday morning
protest at the publicly-funded
mansion UNSG Antonio Guterres
lives in on Sutton Place, not
a single one of the
correspondents let into his
spokesman Stephane Dujarric's
scam "press briefing" asked
for a response to the protest.
Not one.
Inner City
Press was banned from the
"press" briefing, even by
WebEx, and its written
questions were not answered.
After the
first round of speeches in the
UNSC Friday, there were no
replies, and at the stakeout
outside the Council, from
which Inner City Press is
banned by Guterres and Melissa
Fleming, no questions at all.
A fish rots from the head.
Today's UN is corrupt.
