UN GATE, June 3 –
Each day, the current United
Nations gets worse. And Inner
City Press, banned now for the
1889th day by Secretary
General Antonio Guterres
continues to report on it.
From UN whistleblowers
outraged by their abandonment
by Guterres and other UN big
wigs like Filippo Grandi,
this:
Under Grandi in
Afghanistan, part of his
retinue engaged with the bacha
bazi or dancing boys,
outraging many Afghans. Then a
secret relationship while at
UNRWA, covered up by UN /
UNHCR lawyer Lance
Bartholomeusz, brought along
with so many in Grandi's
brotherhood to UNHCR. Grandi
even hired Bartholomuesz'
assistant's wife.
The UN has never
answered Inner City Press'
questions about what it was
informed by UN staff, instead
choosing to ban it with
impunity. And those they let
in promote secret embargoed
suck up "press conferences"
with Grandi:
"Dear colleagues,
UNCA is extending an
invitation to an embargoed
press conference with UN High
Commissioner for Refugees
Filippo Grandi on the
worldwide release of UNHCR’s
annual Global Trends report on
forced displacement in 2022.
The press conference will take
place online on June 12th,

The cover ups
continue - Grandi's
spokesperson Melissa Fleming
refuses all of Inner City
Press questions, even to
confirm or deny, and refuses
to answer even a friendly
letter from a pro bono law
firm, video here.
Today's UN is a place of
impunity and censorship
An
independent
(minded)
journalist
asked Dujarric
about the
letter, video
here,
transcript:
Question:
My second
question is
the law firm
‑‑ what is it
called? ‑‑
Quinn Emanuel
wrote a letter
to the UN
asking about
reinstatement
of our
colleague
Matthew Lee
into the UN
press corps.
Do you have
any comment on
that?
Spokesman:
No. All I can
tell you is
that we've
received the
letter, and
I'm not aware
of any change
to his
status.
Question:
You're not
aware? I mean,
aren't you
part of the
group that
decides the
fate of... or
even the
negotiations...
The letter
calls for
renegotiation
[Cross
talk]
Spokesman:
I decide the
fate of no
one.
[Laughter]
Trust me,
trust me, my
authority is
extremely
limited,
whether at
home or at
work.
What I can
tell you and,
joking aside,
is that the
letter has
indeed been
received, and
I'm not aware
of any... and
there has been
no change in
Mr. Lee's
status.
Question:
Has the letter
been answered?
Do you plan to
answer
it?
Spokesman:
It's been
received.
Whether or not
it's been
answered, I
don't know
yet.
The
letter was
received by
the UN's
Melissa
Fleming, Maria
Luiza Vioti
and Tal Mekel
and to each
UNCA Executive
Board member,
to them citing
UNCA's stated
goals that it
has a charter
to supposedly
uphold.
What's
next?
We'll have
more on all
this. Watch
this site.
