The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided that the Nobel Peace Prize for 2009 is to be awarded to President Barack Obama for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples. The Committee has attached special importance to Obama's vision of and work for a world without nuclear weapons.
Obama has as President created a new climate in international politics. Multilateral diplomacy has regained a central position, with emphasis on the role that the United Nations and other international institutions can play. Dialogue and negotiations are preferred as instruments for resolving even the most difficult international conflicts. The vision of a world free from nuclear arms has powerfully stimulated disarmament and arms control negotiations. Thanks to Obama's initiative, the USA is now playing a more constructive role in meeting the great climatic challenges the world is confronting. Democracy and human rights are to be strengthened.
Only very rarely has a person to the same extent as Obama captured the world's attention and given its people hope for a better future. His diplomacy is founded in the concept that those who are to lead the world must do so on the basis of values and attitudes that are shared by the majority of the world's population.
For 108 years, the Norwegian Nobel Committee has sought to stimulate precisely that international policy and those attitudes for which Obama is now the world's leading spokesman. The Committee endorses Obama's appeal that "Now is the time for all of us to take our share of responsibility for a global response to global challenges."
Of course, it is not unprecedented for the Committee to support a mass murderer, Kissinger was awarded the Nobel peace prize in 1973. Obama, who is the current head of state of a prison-infested, and invasion-happy country, does not deserve this title, to say the least. Obama is fast becoming the favorite priest of the naked beasts. This is all pageantry, a day of feast, a way to grease power by the staged elite. Donald Trump might as well give out these cheap prizes.
Today, Peace is officially deceased, and the evil keep rises. As if we needed surprises. And the people will grow more lifeless yet; the deeper this crisis gets.
That Barack Obama would continue the propaganda and barbarism of the American government was expected. I wasn't preparing for a sunny day. But this acclaim is the last bit of sand in my face. It is pissing rain. This one trick pony is one slick trophy for the vicious elites. Obama and his puppet masters are stealing the costume of my age. But, once this bastard wave crashes over, the people will pick at his feet, and grab his shoulders. Then they'll head for the hills, where the dead will sit still, amazed at what they built, while gripping every inch of their filth. And all for nothing.
So, what does this Nobel prize mean?
Nothing special.
Peace and Truth are not represented by any authority on the world stage, but they have never been at any point in history, so this is nothing new. As Civilizations go, were still at stage one. And human history? Were still writing page one. Still stuck in Plato's cave. Men are still afraid to turn back fully. But me? I turn back bullies. Cause I can't stand these woolly mammoths. I'd be damned if they fool me.
