UN GATE, June 5
– How
corrupt is
today's UN?
Now after
Secretary
General was
caught on a
FISA wiretap
confirming his
collusion with
Putin as with
Xi, this time
to help sell
ammonia and
try to
re-SWIFT
banks, there's
a single
election for
the 2024-5
Security
Council seats.
Belarus was
the initial
candidate,
just the way
the other four
countries
slated for the
Council got
their seats:
the open
slate.
Understandably
stoked up,
Slovenia threw
its hat in the
ring.
But
it has no
self-confidence,
apparently,
and joins in
the UN's
opacity.
On
June 5,
Slovenia has
scheduled a
"press
conference" in
the UN Press
Briefing Room,
from which
Guterres'
spokesman
Stephane
Dujarric has
had Inner City
Press banned.
But no one
other than the
state media
and retirees
that Dujarric
and Melissa
Fleming in can
see it.
There
will be no
UNTV webcast
for anyone
else to see
it:
"3:30
pm
Press Briefing
Room,
S-237
Press Briefing
by Ms. Tanja
Fajon, Deputy
Prime Minister
and Minister
of Foreign
Affairs of the
Republic of
Slovenia ahead
of the
Security
Council
Elections (No
UNTV /
Webcast)"
Pathetic.
This is how
far today's UN
has fallen.
Hours later,
in response,
this flip
flop: "3:30
pm
Press Briefing
Room,
S-237
Hybrid Press
Briefing by
H.E. Ms. Tanja
Fajon, Deputy
Prime Minister
and Minister
of Foreign
Affairs of the
Republic of
Slovenia and
Amb. Boštjan
Malovrh,
Permanent
Representative
of the
Republic of
Slovenia to
the United
Nations. They
will speak on
the upcoming
Security
Council
elections
This event
will be
streamed live
on UN web TV."
It
was - with a
UN
correspondent
who did a
fundraiser
with convicted
global
pedophile
Ghislaine
Maxwell in the
front row.
Tanja Fajon
spoke by rote
including
about
"preserving
the situation"
in the Middle
East - what,
as it is? -
and repeating
about speaking
with "Africa,"
without anyone
asking her for
her country's
position on
the conflicts
in Sudan,
Ethiopia, DRC
and Cameroon.
Slovenia
did nothing to
ensure that
the Press
could ask any
of those
questions - quite
the
contrary.
Not a good
start, unless
Slovenia means
to join the
censors.
We'll
have more on
this.
