UN GATE
/ SDNY,
Jan 21 – At the confirmation
hearing for the next US
Ambassador to the UN Elise
Stefanik, questions ranged
from the UN's dominance by -
and bribe taking from - China
to complicity in the October 7
attacks. But barely scatched
was the full depth of the
current UN's rot, from
corruption to
censorship.
Chair
@SenatorRisch starts
with "decay" of UN. Inner City
Press knows & is banned
from the UN and will live
tweet, thread below
Ranking member of
@SenateForeign @SenatorShaheen
calls UN imperfect but argues
for continued engagement or
else China will just take it
(more) over.
Fine - but
shouldn't even pro-UN
@SFRCdems ensure UN
@MelissaFleming doesn't ban US
Press?
Now
@SenatorRicketts asks how to
combat China buying the UN. On
personal knowledge, Inner City
Press says start at the top:
UNSG @AntonioGuterres hid his
financial links to the
SDNY-convicted bribery firm
China Energy Fund
Committee
Now @ChrisCoons
says he worked to keep CCP
from running @ITU and other
technical UN agencies. But ITU
is still corrupt,
whistleblowers tell Inner City
Press this week and so is
@WIPO
Now
@DaveMcCormickPA asks about
antisemitism at the UN. Beyond
UNGA votes, the UN - and the
current @USUN - are assert
complete legal immunity for
UNRWA in a lawsuit for its
role in the Oct 7 attacks Now
@timkaine asks about Haiti
(though doesn't mention that
the UN brought cholera there,
negligently, then also cited
immunity to not pay a penny
under SG @AntonioGuterres to
survivors of those killed.
Now
@SenatorHagerty asks about
UNRWA role in terrorism, but
not yet UN @AntonioGuterres
role in censorship and banning
of Press which asks about the
SDNY lawsuit against UNRWA.
Now @SenBooker bring up
deportation returns to...
Egypt (a country for/about
which his former colleague Bob
Menendez worked for, big
demographics in NJ.
Now
@SenJohnCurtis asks about
Taiwan being subsumed into the
PRC in UN agencies like ICAO -
true. As Inner City Press
reported, before being thrown
out of the UN, journalists
from Taiwan are not even
allowed into the UN
building
Now
@ChrisMurphyCT asks about
antisemitism - Inner City
Press before being thrown out
of the UN reported on UN
Security being used to throw
out a pro-Israel NGO
representative, like something
out of the graphic novel Maus.
Now @SenRickScott
asks about UNRWA - a trend in
this hearing, understandably;
UN banning of the Press that
asks about lawsuit against
UNRWA has not yet come up.
@SenJackyRosen shifts to
UNESCO - Inner City Press has
a 100 story series Now
@JohnCornyn asks about UN
& Iran - here's the time
"SG Guterres Gave Beirut Post
to Hezbollah Crony Rola Dashti
While Calling Her Kuwaiti"
Now
@ChrisVanHollen says Hamas
should have no role- SDNY
lawsuit says UNRWA does not
agree
Now @SteveDaines
asks @EliseStefanic what she
will go about Sec-Gen
@AntonioGuterres who, he says,
lowered flags for the death of
Iran's butcher president. Hey,
Guterres took a gift from
#Cameroon's 40 year ruler Paul
Biya
Now
@SenJohnBarrasso asks
@EliseStefanik about holding
the UN accountable, including
to local laws / sovereignty.
Exempt from 1st Amendment
principles:Something recent:
UN exempts itself from NYC
congestion pricing:
Now @SenMikeLee
asks about the wisdom of US
granting UN "inviolability" as
to ICC, @AntonioGuterres also
claims exemption from local
laws, refused inspection for
Legionnaires disease, immunity
from lawsuits on UNRWA,
censorship. Immunity had led
to impunity Now
@SenBrianSchatz (of Hawaii)
asks about island nations and
China. Here was "UN
@AntonioGuterres Flops on
Tonga As #Taiwan Targeted by
Solomon Islands Joint
Paymaster"
Now @SenTedCruz
asks about the "deep rot" in
the UN and its worsening role
after October 7. The lawsuit
here @SDNYLIVE exploring UNRWA
role *in* October 7, the UN is
asserting total immunity, just
as Guterres claims immunity to
ban any Press he wants
Now @SenDuckworth
asks about Myanmar / Burma.
UNSG @AntonioGuterres has
failed there too: "As Burma
NGOs Want UN Envoy Heyzer
Fired Corrupt SG Guterres
Prepares to Go Even
Worse"
And with that,
it's over - those are all the
@SenateForeign members who put
questions
