Brags of Targeting Wrong
Portuguese in UN as Guterres Grabs
Corrupt UNOPS Lu Silent

UN GATE, May 15 –
In the UN
system a big
wig from
Portugal was
targeted by
the US. But he was
the wrong
Portuguese to
be targeted,
and few will
say it.
Just as
Antonio
Guterres, the
UN Secretary
General who bans
from all UN
premises the
Press which
questioned his
failure to
include his link
to UN bribery
firm China
Energy Fund
Committee in
his public
financial
disclosures,
through the
Gulbenkian
Foundation
from which he
took money,
give the UNOPS
job to a
Portuguese
crony, the US
guns for
IOM.
Amy
Pope, the
deputy
director there
since 2021,
wants the top
job, challenged the
re-election of
her boss,
Director-General
António
Vitorino.
Big
Boss Tony
Guterres didn't
like it.
But
not wanting to
fight an
Administration
who has left
him more
unaccountable
than the bank
regulators who
coddled
Silicon Valley
Bank to the
end, Guterres
went
for
passive-aggressive
revenge.
From his
spokesman /
censor
Stephane
Dujarric, who
has refused
all written
questions from
Inner City
Press despite
an on-camera statement
that he would
answer, this:
"United
Nations
Secretary-General
António
Guterres
announced
today the
appointment of
Jorge Moreira
da Silva of
Portugal as
Executive
Director of
the United
Nations Office
for Project
Services."
Yes,
in Guterres'
UN, the
engineering of
corruption.
On May
15,
Antony Blinken
bragged
in a
statement, "Congratulations
to Amy E. Pope
on her
historic win
to serve as
the next
Director
General of the
International
Organization
for Migration. The
United States
strongly
supports Ms.
Pope’s vision
and looks
forward to
working with
her to
implement the
critical
reforms."
Yeah,
reforms.
Meanwhile,
while doing
nothing about
Guterres
banning
US-based Inner
City Press,
also on May
10: "Deputy
Secretary of
State for
Management and
Resources
Richard R.
Verma will
travel to New
York, May 10,
for meetings
with senior
leadership at
the U.S.
Mission to the
United
Nations,
including
Ambassador
Linda
Thomas-Greenfield
and Ambassador
to the UN for
Management and
Reform
Christopher
Lu."
Reform?
We'll have
more on this.
