UN GATE / SDNY
COURT, Jan 14 – How corrupt is UN Secretary
General Antonio Guterres?
Well, when he
held a closed door meeting with UN staff in
Geneva last months, he lied about his
commitment against retaliating - while
retaliating, against staff and the Press - and
claimed that he was unaware or unconcerned
about changes he had imposed.
Inner City Press, though banned from the UN
now 560 days by Guterres, has repeatedly in
writing provided Guterres through his
spokesman Stephane Dujarric and Melissa
Fleming an opportunity to explain his remarks.
But despite
Dujarric on camera and Fleming's Department
written promises to answer such questions, no
answers at all.
So now
Inner City Press has published the audio, here.

UN
GATE / SDNY COURT, Jan 10 – In the United
Nations, already an undemocratic autocracy under
Secretary General Antonio Guterres, embattled
countries are being official stripped of their
votes in the General Assembly, including Lebanon
and Yemen and the Central African Republic,
where UN peacekeepers have raped children and
had it covered up by Guterres.
Others facing lose of vote are Venezuela,
Lesotho, Tonga and Gambia, on whose opening of a
"Morocco" consulate in Western Sahara Guterres'
spokes / hatchetman Stephane Dujarric on January
10 promised an off-camera answer to France 24
while refusing each and every written question
from Inner City Press, banned from the UN by
Guterres now 556 days and counting for reporting
on his corruption. Given a
bye, for now, and allowed to keep voting without
paying are Comoros, Somalia and Sao Tome and
Principe, where Guterres' son Pedro does
undisclosed business presumptively trading off
the name of his father and of the
UN. In Somalia, Guterres threw
his own representative under the bus, telling UN
staff that asking it is impolite to ask human
rights questions, in a closed door meeting
exclusively reported by banned Inner City Press
with leaked audio. Really, to
avoid being complicit more countries should stop
paying the UN until these abuses and censorship
are ended. We'll have more, much more, on this.

UN GATE / SDNY
COURT, Jan 2 – In the sideshow of the UN
and its Security Council, from which UNSG
Antonio Guterres has banned the investigative
Press for 548 days, five new non-permanent
members entered in a January 2 ceremony. Each
spoke, but no questions were taken. And Inner
City Press has many questions.
New
member Vietnam is president for January, but
its program of work has nothing for example
about the slaughter in Cameroon; it has
Colombia on January 13 but nothing on
Honduras, recently exposed as a narco-state in
a trial in the U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York which Inner City
Press now covers as well as the UN, from the
UN Gate.
There
are no fewer than four meetings on Syria, but
Libya where Turkey has voted to send forces
and where the UN has been exposed as helping
militias is put off until the 29th. Yemen is
on the 16th, West Africa (pro strongman SRSG
Chambas) on the 8th and, interestingly, a
debate on ASEAN on the 23rd. We'll have more
on this.
And the
UN of SG Antonio Guterres, wasting public
money for example on Guterres' now three week
junket away from New York, didn't even manage
to update to Security Council's website at the
turn of the year. At 7 pm on January 1, the UN
web site still listed as current members:
"Côte d’Ivoire , Equatorial Guinea, Kuwait
(2019) Peru (2019) Poland (2019)." Photo here.
Even
Wikipedia had, nineteen hours before, added
Estonia, Eastern European Group, Niger,
African Group, Saint Vincent and the
Grenadines, Latin American and Caribbean Group
(GRULAC), Tunisia, African Group and
Vietnam." As Inner City Press reported,
Guterres gave the UNSC website to the
photographer husbands of USG DiCarlo's chief
of staff, here.
Inner City
Press, which covered in person these five's
performance from January through June of 2018
before being roughed up and
banned by UN Secretary General Antonio
Guterres with no reaction by the five, despite
claims of commitment to press freedom and even
UN transparency, has continued to cover them.
Kuwait, for example, which has gotten its KUNA
to inflate its performance, phoned
it in on African issues including
praising Paul Biya, dictator of Cameroon.
Its Permanent Representative, a pleasure
enough man, when Inner City Press standing at
the Delegates Entrance raised the issue of its
expulsion and ban by Guterres, replied that if
the UN Correspondents Association with state
media like Xinhua on its Executive Committee
was colluding with Guterres there was nothing
to be done. One, this is weak for a member
state. Two, it confirms how disgusting the UN
has become under Guterres.
So what were the
achievements, again? We'll continue to cover
this and the UNSC, even while the censor
Guterres and his Melissa Fleming maintain their
ban on the Press. Viet Nam takes over January 1,
2020. December

Rosewood Flows
A Cautionary Tale By
Matthew Russell Lee

UK - CJR -
PFT
UN GATE, Dec
28 – The lobby of the United Nations still had
the veneer of futurist cool, but upstairs it
has all gone rotten. It was to the penultimate
story that lobbyist Daniel Lang was headed
that day, not to meet the top man Fat Tony
Guterres but his African fig-leaf deputy Amina
J. Mohammed.
The two were equally corrupt, she having
signed and backdated thousands of export
certificates for endangered rosewood from
Cameroon already shipped to China for the
over-classes bed frames and other furniture.
But it was this Cameroonian connection that
Lang hoped to play on today.
Amina Mohammed's factotum Nelson Muffuh, who
had worked for her at the Nigerian Ministry
for the Environment and Sustainable
Development as well, approached lobbyist Lang
in the lobby.
"Ah, Daniel,"
Muffuh said in the faux French style
for which the UN has known. "I trust you got
through security alright?"
In fact Daniel has seen a man with a big
backpack being taken out of the line in front
of him, loudly demanding why he as journalist
was being barred and calling Guterres corrupt
as he was ushered back out only First Avenue.
"It was alright," Lang answered, eager to get
up to the 38th floor and make his pitch to
Mohammed before the interns started drinking
in the UN Delegates Lounge at 5 pm. He had set
this meeting for late afternoon for just that
reason.
"Follow me," Muffuh said, leading Lang deeper
into the UN General Assembly lobby, past a
series of panels claiming how the UN had tried
to stop the Rwanda genocide, to a turnstile
facing a bank of elevators.
"He's with me, Ronald," Muffuh told the
security guard by the turnstile, who pushed a
button and let them through. "He represents
Cameroon."
The security guard nodded and, it seemed to
Lang, smirked. What was so strange, a French
white man lobbying for Cameroon? At least the
country was no longer an explicit colony.
Up on the 38th floor there was more guards, in
front of a big window looking out over the
East River at Brooklyn and Queens and behind
them, Long Island all the way to the Hamptons.
"Amina's
waiting for you in her office," Muffuh said,
heading down a hallway that smelled of the
cigars that UN staffers smoked in the
stairwell one firedoor away.
There were in her corner office she was, Amina
J. Mohammed in her ubiquitous flowing robe and
head scarf, a politically correct exporter of
stolen rosewood. Lang aimed to use her guilty
knowledge to get her and Guterres' support for
another Chinese project in Cameroon, this time
in the Anglophone Zone. It should not be
difficult.

covering up

Rough up and

Inner City

immediately
wrote to

Amina J.
Mohammed and

Or will the

Guterres is
turning the UN

criminal
conspiracy.
A

In
Corrupt UN of
Guterres UNSC
Post Set Aside
for Nils
Schmieder
After Viotti
Gave Filho GB
By Matthew
Russell Lee, Exclusive, PFTracker
BBC
- Guardian
UK - Honduras
- The
Source
UN GATE, Dec
13 – The UN has been so corrupted and
dominated under UNSG Antonio Guterres that his
chief of staff Luiza Viotti has been allowed
to pick an over the hill Brazilian and give
him Guinea Bissau. The corruption reaches in
the the Security Council Affairs Division, as
Inner City Press showed by exposing Rosemary
DiCarlo's chief of staff's photographer
husband getting the contract for the Council's
website, before Guterres had Inner City Press
banned.
Now on
13 December 2019 from banned Inner City Press
this exclusive, on the corruption in
recruitment about the chef de cabinet Viotti’s
friend. She recruited her friend José Viegas
Filho from Brazil as SRSG Guinea-Bissau. He is
not anymore there, but according to multiple
locals he had dementia and could not engage
with anyone. In Bissau during a meeting with
international community, he didn’t know why he
was there and they took him out and the Deputy
SRSG proceeded with the meeting.
Whistleblowers tell banned Inner City Press he
was there because CdC Viotti was doing him a
favor to flee corruption charges from Brazil,
and because he was not well mentally, his wife
took charge of his functions and attended
meetings with him. In a meeting with the
President of Guinea Bissau, it was clear that
he was not well mentally. A EU representative
asked if it was true that the SRSG was not
mentally well. But the representative said
that they learned that he would be leaving the
mission. This is a horrible story of how
corrupt is Guterres' cabinet.
SCAD -- the Security Council Affairs Division
-- is also corrupt in recruitment, as Inner
City Press previously showed regarding the
website. They posted a P4 position and other
male staff knew they would take German Nils Schmieder
who
has been there only for a few months and
bypass so many experienced colleagues. He was
picked up from the roster few days after
posting the post which was advised for a month
and the EO questioned the procedures, when
they received the memo but they are still
going with the recruitment
The name of
the person being recruited is Nils Schmieder.
Inner City Press will have more on this.
On December 8,
in a new low in hypocrisy, Guterres
robo-tweeted: "People are right to be angry
about corruption. It diverts much needed
resources from schools, hospitals and
infrastructure. Anti-Corruption Day
highlights the need for us to unite to stop
illicit financial flows draining these funds."
But he is a
fraud, and a censor. December

UN GATE / WALL
ST, Dec 6 – The UN has been so corrupted
and dominated by China under UNSG Antonio
Guterres that now its ostensible journalist
award is controlled with Chinese state media.
On November 22 Chinese state media "won" the
third vice presidency of UNCA, albeit with
only 40 votes of only 143 ballots supposedly
representing journalists worldwide. The United
Nations Correspondents Association is totally
corrupt. Results here:
state media in. Low turn out for a dwindling
membership. Yet Guterres uses his scribes to
continue censorship.
On
December 6 Inner City Press now banned from
the UN 521 days and counting went after
reporting on the SDNY court all day down to
Wall Street. There Stephane Dujarric, the
spokesman for Guterres and Ban Ki-moon before
him, sauntered in tuxedo and flowers. Despite
a previous on-camera
promise to answer banned Inner City
Press' questions, he has not, on ranging from
Cameroon to UN child rapes. And on December 6,
asked, he did not. Inner City Press tweeted video
here.
The event? UNCA was selling access to Guterres
to a slew of people in tuxedos and gowns, many
with no UN connection.
Video here.
Inner City
Press asked questions outside, of Guterres'
chief of staff Viotta and USG Melissa Flemming
(no answers), Nigerian UN PGA Bande about
Cameroon (no answer), and to UNCA
correspondents (VOA's long time UN bureau
chief responded with her middle finger). Some
were more polite, noted.
An
expensive car was auctioned outside. Inside,
sponsored by a seller of facial sheet masks,
UNCA celebrated state media and Egypt. Inner
City Press has a right to re-enter the UN and
asked questions, just like the retired and
state media Guterres and Fleming allow in. We
will continue on this.
Now
after UNsurprisingly omitting any and all
coverage of China's abuse of Uighurs and Hong
Kong from its bogus awards, the UN Censorship
Alliance will hold a glitzy celebration of
Guterres on Wall Street, no less, on December
6. They are entirely corrupt. No questions on
the new UN rapes, links to fraud and bribes,
nothing.
Another
proof: two of the top six spots are controlled
by Italy, including a Treasurer Giampaolo
Pioli who rented one of his Manhattan
apartments, funded by a scam pasta company, to
a Sri Lankan war criminal. He and Valeria
Robecco quickly told a "publication" with UN
office space, ONUItalia, that UNCA "remains
Italian." The UN Correspondents
Association is totally
corrupt.
With China
having a veto in UNCA, will stories
about CEFC China Energy's proven bribery at the
UN, and bid to buy an oil company linked to
Guterres through the Gulbenkian Foundation, even
get through a first round of review with this
Chinese "journalism" veto? Fat chance.

Now on
November 11 from US State Department
spokesperson Morgan Ortagus, this: "The United
States is watching the situation in Hong Kong
with grave concern. We condemn violence
on all sides, extend our sympathies to victims
of violence regardless of their political
inclinations, and call for all parties— police
and protestors— to exercise restraint.
We repeat President Trump's call for a humane
resolution to the protests.
The increased polarization within Hong Kong
society underscores the need for a broad-based
and sincere dialogue between the government,
protestors, and citizenry writ large.
The United States urges the Hong Kong
government to build on its dialogue with the
Hong Kong public and begin efforts to address
the underlying concerns driving the
protests. We also urge the protestors to
respond to efforts at
dialogue. The United States
believes that Hong Kong’s autonomy, its
adherence to the rule of law, and its
commitment to protecting civil liberties are
key to preserving its special status under
U.S. law, as well as to the success of “One
Country, Two Systems” and Hong Kong’s future
stability and prosperity. We urge
Beijing to honor the commitments it made in
the Sino-British Joint Declaration, including
commitments that Hong Kong will “enjoy a high
degree of autonomy” and that the people of
Hong Kong will enjoy human rights the freedoms
of expression and peaceful assembly— core
values that we share with Hong Kong." And the
UN?
Days
after Guterres and his team denied access even
to enter to cover UN General Assembly high
level week to Inner City Press which closely
covers the UN bribery convictions at the SDNY
court, China state media Xinhua shows smiling
UN Correspondent Association officials on a
tour of China without any reference to the
abuse of Uighurs and Hong Kong, much less to
bribery. See here.
The headline is "Members of United Nations
Correspondents Association visit Fujian." The
caption is "Lin Dongmei (1st R), associate
director of National Engineering Research
Center of Juncao Technology, introduces Juncao
plantation to members of the United Nations
Correspondents Association, at Fujian
Agriculture and Forestry University, in
Fuzhou, capital of southeast China's Fujian
Province, Sept. 9, 2019. (Xinhua/Lin
Shanchuan)."
The
UNCA officials are past president (and Sri
Lanka war criminal landlord) Giampaolo Pioli,
and his successor Valeria Robecco, along with
another Italian hanger-on who oversaw the
confiscation and attempted destruction of
Inner City Press' live-streaming smart phone
in front of UNCA's corrupt annual fundraising
event. This while Inner City Press,
investigative media, is banned by these thugs
from entering the UN. What of this China tour,
and those who signed off on or didn't complain
about it? We said, "We'll have more on this" -
and now we do.
Inner City
Press has repeatedly asked corrupt Guterres
and team " September 10-2: What are the SG's
and USG Fleming's view of the ethics of UN
Correspondents Association official taking a
paid trip to China at this time, with regard
to Xinjiang, Hong Kong and bribery by China
Energy Fund Committee, which tried to buy the
oil company of Gulbenkian Foundation which has
made payments to the SG? See
here." More than a month, no answer at
all.
But
several disgusted UNCA members have sent this,
an admission, guilty knowledge, arrests and
re-admission of the Press should follow: "The
UNCA Executive Committee has taken a decision
and is notifying its members of the below:
If any member of the UN Correspondents
Association, including members of the Executive
Committee, is invited on a paid trip (travel and
lodging) to represent UNCA, it must be submitted
to the UNCA board for approval. Appearance fees
on behalf of UNCA should be declined as it
compromises the integrity and credibility of the
association. If UNCA members are offered paid
trips or other complementary benefits as
individual journalists, it is up to them and
their news outlets to decide how to
proceed. UNCA OFFICE." Too
little, too late.

Corrupt

UN
GATE, Nov 23 -- While UN Secretary
General Antonio Guterres cries poor
and scales back "official travel,"
he has just made another undisclosed
trip to Lisbon paid for the public,
this time appearing at a concert
there on November 9 for Carlos
do Carmo,
noted in the Portuguese media here.
So
how much did it cost the public,
taking UN Security there? Where did
they stay? Inner City Press asked on
November 11, before the day's UN
noon briefing which it is banned
from entering to attend by corrupt
Guterres, for the now 507th day. No
answers.
Instead
on November 22, from corrupt
Stephane Dujarric, this: "I have a
trip announcement. On Monday,
25 November, the Secretary‑General
will be arriving in Berlin, Germany,
to take part in the 14th UN Internet
Governance Forum, hosted this year
by the Government of Germany." Is
this just another pretext, for
another trip to Lisbon? Dujarric
refuses to answer any Inner City
Press question.
Therefore
on November 23 Inner City Press went
to check out the Sutton Place
mansion in which Big Tony lives on
the public dime. There, fully three
vans were in front. When Inner City
Press started live streaming, one
left and backed into a dead end
around the corner. Finally Guterres
slipped out though his / your back
door, like a common criminal to
avoid questions or legal process and
sped away. Video here.
Guterres is corrupt.
And
did Guterres only agree to go to the
Paris Peace Forum, with sponsor
Gulbenkian which tried to sell its
oil company to UN briber CEFC China
Energy and whose payments to
Guterres have been omitted from his
financial disclosure covering 2016,
as a fig leaf for his Lisbon trip?
Will he meet dictator Paul Biya at
the PPF? Watch this site.
Also,
this high cost hire
for Guterres' propaganda / vanity
shop: "Zoe Paxton, head of media at
the Department for International
Development (DfID) and a rising star
in the Government Communication
Service, is leaving for a top comms
job at the United Nations." This
comes right after his hiring from
McKinsey of Peter Reid for a
position that even Ban Ki-moon left
empty, because wasteful, for a
decade. This is Guterres' hypocrisy.
On October 14 Inner City Press went
to check it out, from gate.
Periscopes I,
II,
III,
IV,
V,
VI,
VII.
On
October 17, even banned from entering
the UN for the 471st day by corrupt
Guterres, Inner City Press can
exclusively report that in the
closed-door October 16 meeting of the
UN Staff Union and Controller
Chandramouli Ramanathan, the latter
was asked about Guterres' many trips
in 2019 specifically those to
"Portugal where his life lives" and
what asked how that is accountable?
Ramanathan, in Guterres fashion,
dodged - but the questioning
continues, until there is
accountability.

We'll have
more on this.
Here's INovember
11 video of
his
two-question
briefing by
Haq that Inner
City Press was
banned from by
Antonio
Guterres.
At 10:30 am on
November 11, the
UN data dumped
yet more case
of sexual
exploitation
its
peacekeepers
and military
observers,
without
listing
nationalities,
but in CAR and
by Cameroon in
Mali, photo
here. There's
a case as
recent as
September
2019, and two
rapes. Inner
City Press has
asked Guterres
- most
recently
wasting public
money,
quantity
undisclosed,
in a tuxedo in
Lisbon, and
his spokesmen
- for the if
asked
information,
and for access
to the noon
briefing to
ask. More on
this to
follow. These
people are
criminals.
At
4:30 pm on the
afternoon of
November 4 the
UN data dumped
yet another
case of sexual
exploitation
by a Cameroon
"peacekeeper"
/ military
observer in
CAR, and by a
Uruguayan
peacekeeper in
Haiti, while
still refusing
to answer
questions of a
child rape
from October
21, and yet
more cases
from October
28 and October
31. Guterres'
UN has become
a racketeering
conspiracy to
cover up - and
in fact
facilities -
child sex
trafficking,
sexual abuse
and child
rape. On
November 4
less than an
hour after the
cursory data
dump Inner
City Press
sent this
question to
the
individuals
named below:
"On UN sexual
exploitation
and abuse -
alleged - this
is a request
that you
immediately
provide the
"if asked"
information
about the case
of sexual
exploitation
against a
Cameroon UN
"military
observer" in
CAR and a
Uruguayan UN
"peacekeeper"
in Haiti
cursorily data
dumped on
November 4 at
4:30 pm and
those on
October 31 at
1:30 pm as
well as
previously
requested
without
response about
the child rape
and sexual
exploitation
by UN
"peacekeepers"
from Cameroon
and South
Africa the UN
cursorily
disclosed on
the afternoon
of October 28
- about which
Inner City
Press did not
this time
immediately
ask, given
that each of
you have
refused for
one week and
counting to
answer in any
way with
if-asked
information
about the
child rape and
sexual
exploitation
cases
involving
Indonesia,
Mauritania and
again
Cameroon, in
DRC and
Central
African
Republic
cursorily data
dumped onto
the UN website
after 3 pm on
October 21.
Requesting
again that you
immediately
provide the
"granular"
information
that was
promised at
the noon
briefing to
correspondents
who barely ask
or publish
about this
topic. What is
being done for
the victims?
Also, again,
what is
Guterres'
answer, which
you refused to
provide after
banned Inner
City Press
asked you and
others in
writing on the
morning of
August 19 that
you
"immediately
provide all
if-asked and
additional
information
about the new
allegation of
SEA announced
of child rape
by a
Cameroonian
"peacekeeper"
in DR Congo,
and why this
has been left
so long
UNanswered -
and also why
previously
published
charges are no
longer in the
data to which
UN
Peacekeeping
Conduct and
Discipline
points,
including what
if being done
for these
victims and
any steps
taken to avoid
this constant
repetition of
abuse despite
the SG's
ostensible
commitments.
Again, are new
allegations
being buried
elsewhere on
the data page?
Inner City
Press is
asking in
writing
because banned
from the noon
briefings and
any follow up
questions, now
for more than
a year. On
August 24
Inner City
Press
re-applied for
admission to
cover the UNGA
high level
week; on
August 30 it
was summarily
rejected, with
no or only
Kafka-esque
reasoning.
This week, as
before none of
Inner City
Press' written
questions,
including on
Honduras and
Cameroon, have
been answered.
This is a
request that
you
immediately
confirm
receipt of
these
questions and
requests.

SDNY US
Attorney Lets
UN Johns and
Pimps Like
Lorenzo Go
Free Jailing
Only Bribers
Ho and Ng
By Matthew
Russell Lee, Exclusive Patreon
SDNY
COURTHOUSE, Nov 10 – After beginning a now
stalled two-case inquiry into the widening
corruption of the United Nations, the then-US
Attorney for the Southern District of New York
said at a confernce on St. Andrew's Place that
the goal was to find out if corruption is
everyday business at the UN.
It is.
But now
after the US Attorney's office lavished praise
and time served sentence recommendation
on bribe-taker Francis Lorenzo even as a
person shown as trial continues to use the UN
to sell fraudulent coins, the question has
turned back on the US Attorney's office
itself.
In
essence, the decision has been to go after the
prostitutes and not the johns (those in the UN
who take the bribes, and continue to) or the
pimps and middlemen.
The
latter category encompasses Lorenzo for Ng Lap
Seng and Chiekh Gadio, given a non prosecution
agreement and now back in action, for Patrick
'Ho and CEFC China Energy, linked to current
UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres through
Lisbon-based Gulbenkian Foundation whose
payments to Guterres are omitted from his
public financial disclosure covering 2016.
Even Ban Ki-mooon was not directly linked to
the UN's bribers. The UN has become more
corrupt, and has openly used immunity and
censorship of Press to get away with it. The
Office's response has been, as of 8 November
2019, to further defer sentencing even of a
person guilty in the Ng Lap Seng case, and
praise and shake hands with UN briber Lorenzo.
Lorenzo
used his position as UN Ambassador for the
Dominican Republic to take and pay bribes for
a Macau "UN South South Development Conference
Center proposed by now incarcerated Ng Lap
Seng.
On November 8 Lorenzo was given a sentence of
time served, which was twenty days in
detention, by U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York Judge Vernon S.
Broderick.
It was what the US Attorney's Office of
Geoffrey S. Berman essentially recommended,
calling Lorenzo a model cooperating witness.
This despite acknowledging that Lorenzo had to
"re-plead" guilty when it emerged he had not
disclosed his receipt of bribes.
Assistant US Attorney Douglas S. Zolkind at
sentencing praised Lorenzo for example for
always appearing in a three-piece suit.
It
emerges that this same prosecution team has
asked for yet another six months delay in
sentencing another briber in the case, Heidi
Hong Piao. The prosecutors "request that the
control date for the sentencing of the
defendant, presently scheduled for October 25,
2019, be adjourned for six
months. Respectfully
submitted, GEOFFREY S.
BERMAN United States
Attorney
By: s/ Daniel C. Richenthal Daniel C.
Richenthal Janis M. Echenberg Douglas S.
Zolkind." Untransparent, like the office's
refusal to release their exhibits against
crypto currency fraud OneCoin even as yet
another fraudulent coin is sold with UN
images. We'll have more on this.
On November 9 Judge Broderick before giving
Francis Lorenzo the time served sentence said
there was a need for general deterence. But
neither he nor Zolkind even mentioned an after
arising UN bribery case, for which Patrick Ho
of CEFC China Energy was convicted by SDNY
Judge Loretta A.
Preska.
Judge
Broderick did impose two years of supervised
release, and 250 hours of community service.
Afterward Inner City Press sought to ask
Lorenzo a question but was told by his
lawyerBrian H. Bieber that Lorenzo would not
answer questions.
So Inner City Press asked Bieber how Lorenzo
would do his community service and when
Lorenzo last saw and communicated with Carlos
Garcia, the former El Salvador ambassador
shown in the trial before Judge Broderick to
have helped launder money for Lorenzo.
Bieber
said he would ask Lorenzo, and perhaps get back
to Inner City Press, which has reported and will
continue to report on these cases.

Whispered of
Magdaleno
Murder
Disavowed By
Chapo Funded
Guterres and
Bachelet
By Matthew
Russell Lee,

Honduras
- The
Source - The
Root - etc
SDNY
COURTHOUSE, Nov 2 – During the trial that
convicted Tony
Hernandez, the
brother of
Honduras'
president Juan
Orlando
Hernandez
(JOH), on all
four counts of
guns and
narcotics
trafficking
and false
statements,
the drug
ledgers of one
Nery Orlando
López Sanabria
a/k/a
Magdaleno were
used by the
SDNY
prosecutors.
Here
is an Inner
City Press
tweeted photo
of notebook
mentioning
"JOH," in Spanish.
Inner City
Press has
repeated asked
the United
Nations, in
New York and
Geneva, for
comment. Dead
silence.
A
week after the
verdict,
Magdaleno was
murdered in a
supposedly
maximum
security
prison in
Santa Barbara,
Honduras.
The video are
very troubling
[WARNING]
including the
guards letting
the killers
in, here.
UNSG Antonio
Guterres
refused all
Press
questions
about Honduras
during the
trial and in
the nine days
since the
verdict. On
October 29
Inner City
Press has
asked: "what
are the
comments and
actions of
Guterres on
the video
taped killing
of Nery
Orlando López
a/k/a
Magdaleno Meza
Fúnez, whose
notebooks were
used to
convict
Presidential
brother Tony
Hernandez in
the SDNY court
this month?
Now Reinero
Valle has, as
Madgaleno had
before his
assassination,
asked to be
moved out of
that El Pozo
prison due to
threats to
silence him as
a witness, so
far without
response to
his lawyer
Nazario Luque?
Again,
immediately
provide the
report /
read-out of
Guterres' four
person panel
sent to
Honduras, and
complete read
out of his
meeting with
JOH." Now as
of November 2,
as Guterres
presumptively
uses El
Chapo's money
via JOH to
visit
strongmen
leaders in
Turkey and
Thailand then,
uncontested,
waste money at
his real home
in Lisbon,
nothing. Total
corrupt.
This
while
Guterres' UN,
despite its
protestations
and misuse of
the concept,
enable fake
news in
Honduras.
On October 27
a publication
in Honduras said
the UN office
of human
rights has
said nothing.
But nothing
had been
emailed out to
its press
list, and
nothing could
be found on
its website in
Geneva - it
turns out news
it doesn't
want anyone or
at least not
the drug
funded
dictators it
answers to see
it, it puts on
obscure
sub-sites, see
below.
At
9 am on
October 28
Geneva time
Inner City
Press in
writing asked
UN "High
Commissioner
for Human
Rights"
Michelle
Bachelet and
her spokesman
Rupert
Colville this:
"Hello, this
is a Press
request for
OHCHR /
Bachelet
comment on the
murder, on
video, in
Honduras of
'Magdeleno'
whose drug
trafficking
notebook were
used in recent
SDNY
conviction of
Presidential
brother Tony
Hernandez, a
trial Inner
City Press
covered every
day. See video
of killing here.
Specifically,
it appears
that the
guards open
the doors to
the killer,
who somehow
had a gun
inside a
maximum
security
prison. The
decedent had
asked to be
moved.
Inner City
Press while
reporting on
all this while
banned from
any entry of
the UN for
over 48[6]
days is asking
your Office
because of
reports in
Honduras that
your Office
somehow,
somewhere
spoke on this
- if so,
where, and why
was Inner City
Press not sent
the
information
given that it
covers this
issue and has
submitted
dozens of
questions on
it to SG
Guterres, USG
Melissa
Fleming and
Spokesman
Stephane
Dujarric, with
no answer at
all despite
UN's statement
to Special
Rapporteur
David Kaye
that Inner
City Press'
written
questions were
being and
would be
answered, here.
And see here.
Since Inner
City Press and
I have been
excluded from
OHCHR events
in the UN by
this no due
process ban,
please also
explain why
Commissioner
Bachelet has
said and done
nothing about
the UN Press
ban, despite
it being
raised to her
from Day 1 of
her
Administration.
On
deadline,
Matthew
Russell Lee,
Esq., Inner
City Press
Past (and
future?)
Office at UN:
Room S-303, UN
HQ, NY NY
10017."
Four days
nothing. So
did Bachelet,
who is rarely
at work,
speak? By not
answering to
confirm or
deny that this
UN office
spoke,
Colville and
Bachelet are
complicit in
the very "fake
news" and
propaganda
they purport
to denounce.
They have
allowed their
unfettered
prejudices (in
Colville's
case, all the
way back to
Zeid and the
Office helping
China to
identify
critics, for
murder) and
support of
corrupt
Guterres to
bring them
this low.
Now perhaps
worse, we have
found the UN-
and now
presumptively
Chapo-funded
UNOHR office
in Honduras
has been
whispering on
its website,
which stayed
entirely
silent during
and about the
trial. The
site telling
has more hits
for
job-searches
than its
"news."
It's by a
restaurant
(not Denny's)
- "Col Castaño
Sur, Ave.
Castaño Sur,
House # 2911.
References
Former
headquarters
of the Embassy
of Ecuador,
next to
Restaurante
Loca Luna."
Inner City
Press has
formally
requested to
be sent all of
its "news"
going forward.
We'll have
more on this -
it is how
Guterres' UN
operates,
taking money
from bribers,
criminal and
dictators,
roughing up
and banning
the Press that
asks, then
using the
blood money to
whisper for no
one. We'll
continue on
this.

UN
Linked
Fraudster
Saint Clair of
World Sports

Detained In
SDNY But SG
Guterres Still
Free
By Matthew

SDNY
COURTHOUSE, Oct 23 – Asa Saint Clair was
questioned for wire fraud by the US
authorities at 845 United Nations Plaza last
month, for his involvement in a dubious
cyber-currency called Igobit, issued through a
UN-linked "inter-governmental organization"
called the World
Sports Alliance.
Inner City Press, before being banned from the
UN by Secretary General amid its questions
about his corruption and links to UN briber
CEFC China Energy, reported on the World
Sports Alliance, including here
and here and here,
on Burundi.
On October 23 Inner City Press now covering
the U.S. District Court for the Southern
District of New York was the only media in the
SDNY Magistrates Court when Asa Saint Clair
was brought into the court in shackles. He was
arrested in California trying to get on a
plane to Madagascar by way of Paris. More on
Patreon here.
Now, despite telling the government he was
making $50,000 a month, he was given a
publicly funded Federal Defender lawyer, who
argued he should be immediately released.
He still may be. Magistrate Judge Debra
Freeman rejected the AUSA's request to limit
his use of electronic devices, and like the US
Attorney's Office made no connection to the UN
itself.
There is a pattern here: in the Ng Lap Seng
case, so recently in the Second Circuit Court
of Appeals, he went to jail but those he
bribed in the UN remain free and in action.
The same is true for Patrick Ho of CEFC China
Energy, up to the level of Secretary General Antonio
Guterres.
Even in terms of fraudulent coins, Inner City
Press has exposed
and
asked the UN in writing about the use of
Guterres' image to sell coins by former UN
ambassador of El Salvador Carlos
Garcia. He was shown in the Ng Lap
Seng case to be helping with money laundering
by Francis Lorenzo, still someone not
sentenced by SDNY and its AUSAs Richenthal and
Zolkind.
Nor did they
ask on UN official Meena Sur, whom Inner City
Press publicly exposed as linked to now
SDNY-investigatived WSA, here.
And Garcia
continued his coin scam with Guterres' image,
and now WSA's Saint Clair is about to be
bailed - even as his case remains hours later
sealed.
Inner City
Press, exclusively covering all this even amid
attempt to limit
its access and real time reporting, will
continue on these cases. Watch this site.

Corruption Q

SDNY
COURTHOUSE, Oct 19 – The
hypocrisy of
the UN of
Antonio
Guterres and
the corruption
of a president
he partners
with, Juan
Orlando
Herandez, was
shown October
18 with the
SDNY guilty
verdicts
against
presidential
brother Tony
Hernandez.
Now on the
evening of
October 19,
Guterres while
still having
no comment as
Inner City
Press has
requested for
week on the
trial or now
verdict, after
he has
repeatedly
tried to help
cover up for
JOH, was
rattling
around in the
publicly
funded $15
million he
lives alone
his, this
evening with
an
unidentified
young man.
Outside were
two big cars,
including a
Mercedes.
Inner City
Press, on
bicycle,
waited to ask
the questions
that Guterres'
spokesman who
is paid to
answer
questions
refuses to
answer.
When
Guterres came
out, Inner
City Press
audibly asked
for comment on
the Honduras
verdict, and
why none was
forthcoming on
that, or
Cameroon, or
UN corruption.
Guterres drove
away in two
limousines.
Video here.
UN Secretary
General
Antonio
Guterres is so
corrupt he
does not
answer any
critics; in
fact, he had
Inner City
Press
physically
roughed up by
his Security
and banned
from entering
the UN for 472
days and
counting.
During that
time Guterres
supposed JOH's
second term,
and as the
evidence of
drug
trafficking
grew, spoke
with JOH only
about...
climate
change. This
is corruption.
Tony
Hernandez will
now be
sentenced on
January 17,
and 2:30 pm.
Shouldn't
Guterres be
impeached by
then, and that
Press restored
to how it
covered the UN
before
ghoulish
Guterres
arrived?
Inner City
Press even
before the
verdict as the
UN
Spokespeople
Stephane
Dujarric and
Melissa
Fleming in
writing,
"October 18-1:
On Honduras on
which you have
refused to
answer or
respond to
Inner City
Press' as it
covers in SDNY
the US v Tony
Hernandez
trial which
continues jury
deliberations
today and has
asked you why
SG Guterres
did not even
bring up
corruption and
drug
trafficking
when he met
president Juan
Orlando
Hernandez, 1)
please
immediately
describe
activities of
the UN system
and resident
coordinator /
representative
on JOH's
current terms
and 2) what
now are
Guterres'
belated
comments and
actions if any
on that last
night JOH's
National Party
majority in
the Honduran
parliament
passed a law
making itslef
immune, and
that Honduran
police
dispersed
hundreds of
demonstrators
with tear gas
on Wednesday
in Tegucigalpa
who demanded
the
resignation of
President Juan
Orlando
Hernandez,
suspected by
the American
courts of
collaborating
with the drug
traffickers?"
No answer all
all. Total
corruption.

COURTHOUSE, Oct 11 – The
prosecution of
the brother of

guns and drug
running began
with a bang on
October 2 with
the charge
that already
life
imprisoned El
Chapo Guzman
gave the

On October 8,

and Tony
Hernandez
present and
the cash in
plastic bags,
and then got

examination
concerned a

of Tony
Hernandez in a

how did you

A: With a

Where did you
get the watch?
A: I bought
it. AUSA: And
afterward you
gave the
recording to

Yes....

afraid you
would be
followed?
A:
No, I had just
