António Guterres seen here being ignored

Americans don’t listen to António Guterres. We should. But for some reason we can’t hear him. Which is surprising since he’s awfully loud, even louder than Bernie which can’t be good for anybody’s ears.

António Guterres is not just loud, when it comes to reminding us of what’s important, he’s the world’s loudest.

He’s the world’s loudest critic of gas and oil companies. He’s the world’s loudest peace advocate. Nobody speaks louder on the relationship between greed and famine. Nobody speaks louder on the depravity of income inequality. Nobody is louder insisting vaccines be free for Third World countries. Nobody is louder on the plight of our planet’s 30 million refugees. Nobody fights louder for free universal health care, education, water and sanitation. Nobody.

António Guterres is rarely on TV or written about. Why can’t we hear this pushy loudmouth New Yorker?

Maybe because he’s a leftist and former president of the Socialist International.

Yeah, that must be it. Socialists just can’t get the same attention as former United States generals who have open invitations from CNN and MSNBC to sell war while simultaneously neglecting to reveal they’re now working as lobbyists for the defense industry.

Seems to me Jake Tapper, when covering America’s proxy war against Russia, the two sides of that story should be more than Boeing versus Raytheon.

Maybe we should also hear from António Guterres. He makes a pretty good case against war. All war.

But, in America we’re only allowed to hear rosy scenarios about how great this week’s war is going and how we’re only one more continuing budget authorization away from winning it.

“All Ukraine needs is $15 billion more of Lockheed Martin’s M142 HIMARS and Putin is toast!” Followed by, “I guarantee this. And you can hold me to it, just so long as you forget to hold me to it.”

Yeah, I guess it’s just as well António Guterres is never heard from. He’d be a real downer on CNN and MSNBC with his whole “America needs to avoid the poison of war” shtick.

Preachy much? We’re watching the news, not the final episode of MASH.

You know what? On second thought, António Guterres is really starting to get on my nerves with his “Ukraine’s unspeakable suffering and devastation.” What about the speakable suffering and devastation? How come António never speaks about that?

What a bore. I need to rewrite this thing. I thought I was going to sing António’s praises, but the more I think about António Guterres the more I want to grab him by the collar and say if war upsets you so much then you shouldn’t have taken the job of secretary-general of The United Nations! I can’t stand to see sick animals. That’s why I’m not a veterinarian! It’s also why I give my cats away when they turn four.

António Guterres is becoming a professional empath the way he constantly wears that heart on his sleeve. It reeks of malignant narcissism. What he’s hiding?

Yeah. I was wrong. I wish that there was time to rewrite this. I detest him.

Keep António off my beloved MSNBC. What does 14 million Ukrainians forced to leave their homes have to do with, “The walls are finally closing in on Donald Trump and this time I really think we’ve got him.”

How much more whining can we take from this pathetic loser? We get it “Rainman.” The world may run out of food because of the war in Ukraine.

It’s tired. Eventually The Stones stopped singing “Satisfaction.” They were sick of it, and so were the fans.

“Millions are on the verge of famine in the Horn of Africa because war has disrupted the fertilizer supply chain” reminds me of Adele’s “Easy On Me.” Back in March, I couldn’t wait to hear it because it always made me cry. But we’re closing in on October.

Yeah. I was wrong about António Guterres. Let the rest of the world pay attention to whatever the secretary-general of The United Nations is moaning about today. Here in America we have MSNBC’s Ari Melber quoting Tupac.
