UN GATE, Dec 11 –
The UN's climate change
conference has as its
president the head of the
United Arab Emirates' oil
company, ADNOC.
And on December
11, UN Secretary General
Antonio Guterres said, "It is
time to go into overdrive and
rise to the challenge set by
COP President Dr. Sultan Ahmed
Al Jaber" - that is, the head
of ADNOC.
Guterres took
money from the Gulbenkian
Foundation, funded by the
Partex oil company - then
banned the Press that asked
about it.
Inner City
Press noted this typical UN
hypocrisy on X (formerly
Twitter) on September 20 while
reporting from an event across
the street from the UN it is
banned from even
entering.
There, on
November 27, Antonio Guterres
was asked: "Can you react to
allegations that the UAE has
been negotiating carbon fuel
deals on the sidelines of COP,
and that's their intention?
Are you worried about this
undermining it?
Guterres: I can't
believe it is true
Yeah.
It's not
just the UAE, or COP28 - UN
Secretary General Antonio
Guterres' head of "global
communications" Melissa
Fleming has bragged about
using the UN's name (and
public money) to combat and
eliminate messages they don't
agree with from the
Internet.
Fleming
and Guterres have banned Inner
City Press, ignoring its June
19, 2023 application
to enter and cover UNGA 2023
and then ignoring a letter
from the pro bono law firm of
Duane Morris, drunk with their
own impunity.
