To Lurking MAGAS

The Nobel Peace Prize is given for promoting peace, democracy, and human rights. After all, Rudolph Hess wasn't given one for his "peace mission" in WW ll. Thank you for your attention .

Looks bad as the number one bullet of distinction in the resume. Coupled with no jail time. Wow that’s really stinky. Then Theres the Epstein stuff. What’s a peace prize committee to do?

Hitler was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.
It is interesting to read the Swedish politician's letter of recommendation for Hitler.

If you ever feel bad for making a stupid mistake, read this letter and you can quickly see that others have screwed up far worse.

No matter how evil his actions, they stand with him.

We need to figure out how to detoxify cults.

They did a 60 Minutes on Hess. Speer spent most of life after he was freed saying he knew nothing.

He basically said he was an architect, not a politician. But you know, he HAD to know at least something about what Hitler was doing. I don't think Hess ever got out of prison.

in spite of denials to the contrary. Denial is a much overused option for those inclined to escape CULPABILITY.

from being carried out.

Hitler thought that since the German people had been too weak to carry out his policies and win his war, they didn't deserve to inherit the Fatherland. He wanted them to all die in some sort of Wagnerian Götterdämmerung

You've got to actually want there to be peace. Not pretend you do just so you can get a Nobel. And wanting one just because the black guy got one doesn't work either.

11. Machado dedicated the prize to Trump

"Venezuelan opposition leader and the newly awarded Nobel Peace Prize winner has dedicated her win to Donald Trump for his “decisive support” in her country’s fight for democracy.

Maria Corina Machado said the award represents the “struggle of all Venezuelans” and serves as a boost in their mission to “conquer Freedom”. Her praise for Trump comes after the U.S. president missed out on the award that he has long hoped to win, when the winner was revealed Friday.

In a post on social media site X, she said: “We are on the threshold of victory, and today, more than ever, we count on President Trump."

Seems she and pedo Trump are 2 peas in a pod. They are both trying to conquer freedom. She wants democracy as much as the pedo does.

but don't know enough to call her "venezuela's le pen." hope the committee knows more

possibly she knows she needs usa aid and is willing to engage in flattery to get it. most of the world leaders "honored" in the gold room do that to jabba the putt

She represents the unhappy bankers and corporate elites who had to turn control of the government over to the socialists back years ago.

She wants a weak, easily manipulated democracy, like in the US. That way her banker friends and rich elite can control the government much like our vicious and cruel American oligarchy.

When they tell you who they are believe them.

He would deserve credit. Also, it's more like cessation of hostilities than actual peace.

I don't think I would see the Prize with the same, want to capitalize it. So to speak.
