Sitting and listening to President Obama delivering a speech on unemployment in the United States. I listen and listen, he is incredible, he’s talking and talking and it sounds so good but he says nothing, no solutions, no action, just ‘chewing’.
What does Barack Obama, Yasser Arafat, and Mother Teresa have in common? Well, they have all received the Nobel Peace Prize. That Mother Teresa got it, is logical and laudable when she devoted her life to improving the world a person at a time. She worked unfaintable in Kolkata slums with street children, lepers and those who were at the absolute bottom of society.
Alfred Nobel wrote the following in his will as the basis for the Nobel prize, which also Peace Prize, “The whole of my remaining realisable estate shall be disposed of in the following way:
the capital, invested in safe securities by my executors, shall constitute a fund, the interest on which shall be annually awarded as prizes to those who, during the preceding year, shall have conferred the greatest benefit on mankind. The interest shall be divided into five equal parts, to be apportioned as follows:.. … .. and one part to the person who shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between the nations and the abolition or reduction of standing armies and the formation and spreading of peace congresses.”
It is interesting that an inventor of the airplane hijackings and a president who is a professional speaker, which just sends 30,000 man to Afghanistan got the Peace Prize, given what Alfred Nobel wrote his will in what would be the basis for the Peace Prize. Giving Obama Peace Prize, which is like handing out gold medals to the athletes before the Olympics, everyone’s a chance to succeed. The day Obama got to know he would get the price, he sent 30,000 soldiers to Afghanistan where they will wage war, to pretend that it is only about peacekeeping forces is of course pure nonsense, war is about one thing, to destroy the enemy and win. If an officer says ngt otherwise it’s just war propaganda.
