UN GATE / SDNY,
March 29 - The United Nations,
its unaccountable senior
leadership and sychophantic
press corps all seem pleased
by the nomination
of perceived supporters to
represent the US from January
20, 2021 on.
Witness the
canned Q&A in the UN noon
briefing of November 23, 2020
which again banned Inner City
Press - and its questions
about UN corruption and sexual
abuse, Cameroon,
Honduras
and other UN failures,
here.
Inner City Press
before corrupt UNSG Antonio
Guterres had it thrown
out without due process
or appeal covered not only the
UN and its "Peacekeeping"
missions in Haiti and
elsewhere, but also Antony
Blinken (here,
meeting Prince Zeid) and Linda
Thomas-Greenfield (here,
after a trip to Somalia; Inner
City Press covered the UN
Security Council trip to
Djibouti).
It would be
the case that Blinken and
Thomas-Greenfield would cast a
blind eye at UN censorship.
And Blinken's State Department
would not even answer
questions or long standing
FOIA requests about it. In
March 2024:

Mr. Matthew Lee Dear Mr. Lee:
This is in response to your
January 19, 2017, submitted
under the Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA), 5
U.S.C. ยง 552 to the Department
of State (the Department) in
which you requested: All
records in the possession of
the DOS or US Mission to the
UN as it relates to the Inner
City Press or Matthew Russell
Lee/Matthew Lee/Matt Lee The
Department is undertaking a
comprehensive effort to reduce
its backlog of FOIA requests.
If we do not receive a
response from you within
thirty (30) business days of
the date of this letter, the
Department will conclude you
are no longer pursuing this
request and administratively
close your case and no further
action will be taken. They
delay, then give 30 days.
Inner City Press has answered:
Yes I am still
interested in finally getting
the records responsive to my
FOIA request to the State
Department in 2017, as the UN
was moving to oust Inner City
Press from its resident
correspondent status and the
US Mission did and has done
nothing about it - these
records should be provided
immediately. Watch this site -
