UN GATE, Sept 18
– The US took over the UN
Security Council presidency on
August 1, 2023 - while
US-based Inner City Press is
still banned from the UN, and
the US Mission and its
Ambassador Linda
Thomas-Greenfield have done
nothing about it.
On August 1
LTG took questions largely
from state media, culminating
in a lengthy statement from
Bangladesh state media, which
she seemed quite pleased with.
Video here.
On Monday,
September 18 Antony Blinken
bragged at the Palace Hotel
about trading five Iranians
for five (or seven) hostages,
along with unfreezing $6
billion. Then he went to
China's Mission to the UN,
from which a number of
China-UN bribery plots have
been run, and lavished praise
on China's Vice President Han
Zheng. Why was that the venue?
And why has Blinken done
nothing about Guterres banning
US-based Inner City Press?
On September 14,
LTG held another
schmooze-fest, saying you'll
have to ask others why leaders
like Macron don't come to this
UNGA. Then her spokesman Nate
Evans said, Just email me
questions. But Inner City
Press has, repeatedly - with
no answer. Now its questions
to the UN PGA resulted in the
belated posting of a list
showing the office 40% bought
by China. From LTG? Nothing...
The ban continues.
Inner City
Press on June 19 applied
to the UN for access, as it
gives 100s, to cover the UNGA
week. Inner City Press has a
NYC Press Pass and writes
about the UN. The ban is
contrary to the First
Amendment (and even the UN's
Article 19) but the US Mission
to the UN does nothing.
