The Nobel War Prize

bernard of MoA explains how the Nobel Peace Price went to a US puppet in Venezuela who has been on the US payroll for years, already participated in two unsuccessful regime change operations there, along with the recent fantastical claims of winning the election.   Basically, this was a way of placating Trump while not giving the award to Trump either but to one of his puppets in a now gathering war with Venezuela the US is starting.

Thinking back over the history of the Prize, it's about time it's renamed to The Nobel War Prize.

One of those commenting on bernhard's post fills in some of the history:

Le Duc Tho refused to accept his joint award (Vietnam War) saying “Peace had not been established yet”. Yeah, any decent person would ignore the Nobel prizes as just another irrelevant construct.

Terrorist – Menachem Begin

War Criminal – Kissinger, Obama, Abiy Ahmed

Genocidal PM – Aung San Suu Kyi

Imperialist – Kipling

Chemical weapons – Haber (WW1)

Pedo – Guillaume

Degenerates – The EU (advancing peace, human rights and democracy), really can’t make this shit up.

There’s an article “The Dark History of the Nobel Prize (They prefer you forgot) from 2021.

This is not quite right either, Kipling won the prize in literature, Haber won the prize in Chemistry, and Guillaume won the prize in Physics.  But there's enough in there to illustrate the point even about the vaunted "Peace" prize.  The Nobel prizes are steered by western imperial interests.  The fact that any Americans, part of the largest and most powerful empire in history, have won the Prize shows that.  Meanwhile, few countries did more to defend actual democracy (against US empire and its endless puppets and vassals) in third world countries than the Soviet Union and China, and where are their prizes?

But most westerners will simply regard the latest prize as yet another proof that we're the good guys (see, even the Nobel Prize Committee agrees) and all the cranks in the wilderness who criticize western empire can be ignored.
