Well, Alfred Nobel had quite a different ending from what seems to have been most of his life before. Stephen Lendman says the following in the article further below.

“Alfred Nobel (1833 – 1896) began it in 1901. Swedish- born, he was a wealthy 19th century chemist, engineer, dynamite inventor, armaments manufacturer, and war profiteer, later reinventing himself as a peacemaker. ”

And Stephen Lendman provides an important list of the many war criminals the Nobel Peace Prize was granted, while also clearly naming two or three deserving people who are nominated, but were never granted the NPP; f.e., Kathy Kelly, who was nominate four times.

Imo, the NPP should be obsoleted, and the whole Nobel institution probably should be also obsoleted. Any prizes given out, even when to deserving people, is a matter that’s rather meaningless. Why attach ourselves to such unnecessary and regularly abused symbols? They don’t add any quality to the work awardees have done, and, again, the Nobel institute is regularly corrupt; certainly when it comes to the NPP anyway.

Given how corrupt it is, people who are nominated and are deserving could well do by refusing to be nominated as a symbolic gesture to say that the Nobel institute is a [very] corrupt one that should no longer be honoured. I see this like military troops and officers who are awarded medals for service in corrupt or criminal wars, rejecting the medals they’re awarded as a symbolic way of denouncing the rogueness of the “elites” behind the wars.

They would be fools!

If you read the blogs in Ha'aretz (English edition), you'll find it full of Israeli Valerianuses, claiming the US rules Israel! In truth, idiot-politicians in both countries stupidly seek the support of US Armegeddonites.

Some would argue that Israel is the de facto government of the United States, and thus qualifies as being in NATO.

Why should Israel be included in a NATO execrise when it is not even a member of NATO to begin with!?

I notice I am the first person to report on Oct 12, to your blog. It is possible someone else has preceded me but not yet posted. But the reason for this mysterious award is cleared up in an article that appears in Antiwar.com. Accordingly, America pulls out of a NATO exercise after the Turks “snubs” Israel by not allowing it to participate. Believe me that’s just the spin. The real reason was the exercise was a cover to bomb Iran, and forces with the US overnment working with the Turks sabotaged it and provide cover (and backbone) for Obama by making him an ordained man of peace.

Perhaps that is Noble Committee's way of acknowledging that any American president; that is an American citizen that achieves the highest office in America by popular vote, who is not absolutely warlike deserves a Noble Peace Prize or put another way, the Noble committee has decided to warn the world that when it comes to America, it will not get any better than this; nine months in office and no new wars, just a petty escalation by any American standard, is Noble caliber character. Heck, maybe the Noble committee is warning America that it is enough already; nine months, no new wars, Ok here is your prize. Now get to work Mr. American president. You ARE THE American president, aren't you. You …

Obama's going to sweep these Nobel Prize thingies just like Slumdog Millionaire ran the table at the Oscars!
