Obammer's* Nobel Peace Prize

Our President isn't sure he'd done enough to earn the Nobel Peace Prize. Well I, for one, am very sure: He hasn't done enough. And for that reason, he should have rejected this honor. But that wouldn't have been playing ball. And I want to be very clear about this: That's exactly what Obammer* the Truly Unknown One is doing - playing ball. [And has been doing so all along.]

A lot of vested interests are bending over backwards, especially within the media, to make Blacque* Obammer* look good. I'd even blogged on this theme, accusing the G-20 of manufacturing an incident for the sole purpose of making him look good before the cameras. [See http://bpa-cinc.gaia.com/blog/2009/5/just_who_is_the_g-20_trying_to_kid ] We might want to start asking, "Why all this effort to enNobel [pun intended] Obammer*?"

Am I saying the Nobel Peace Prize committee has been corrupted? Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying. Obammer's* award was scripted - a foregone (and unanimous) conclusion - from the moment he was nominated in February. How do I know this? The unanimous decision and the committee's rare display of defensiveness pretty much give the game away. Plus the fact that he hasn't really done anything. [Hello! The emperor has no clothes.]

The chairman of the Nobel Peace Prize committee, Thorbjorn Jagland, told the Associated Press: "Alfred Nobel wrote that the prize should go to the person who has contributed most to the development of peace in the previous year" and then asked "Who has done more for that than Barack Obama?" [source: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091013/ap_on_re_eu/eu_nobel_peace_obama ]

Let's define "done," shall we?

Exactly what has Blacque* done, except speechify? He's still persisting in Iraq and speaks of a continued commitment-without-end in Afghanistan. He has no problem snubbing the Dalai Lama (though I'm no fan of that false prophet), simply to curry favor with the Chinese. [That's going to backfire, big time!]

I wonder if I would have been awarded the Peace Prize, had I become President instead of Obammer*. By this time in my presidency, in accordance with my Electoral Contract at http://bpa-cinc.gaia.com/blog/2008/9/the-electoral-contract-of-steven-searle-for-us-president :

• All US personnel would have been completely removed from Iraq and Afghanistan. [Hmm..ending wars should be enough to earn a Peace Prize, yes?]

• "There will be no military draft during my presidency" - quote from Points EIGHT and NINE of my Electoral Contract.

• In my post entitled "Nuclear Disarmament: 1,000 points of light," I'd written: "My ultimatum to the US Congress: After I am elected US President, I will present to the US Congress a mandate: On August 6, 2012, our total nuclear stockpile will be no greater than 1,000 warheads or else:" - for details, see http://bpa-cinc.gaia.com/blog/2008/8/nuclear_disarmament_1_000_points_of_light . [Hmm, getting rid of most of our nukes, instead of merely talking about a bit of unspecified trimming. How about that?]

• I had also promised, within 90 days of my inauguration, to order all US personnel out of all facilities located at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba - thereby allowing Cuba to reclaim its rightful territory. [Tell me, wouldn't this simple and token step to repudiate our past imperialism have been received like a breath of fresh air in all countries south of the border?] [Hmm...building good will among ordinary citizens of the world - sounds like a winner to me.]

Any one of these items would have done far more to advance the cause of peace than any speech Obammer* has made. But had I been awarded the Peace Prize, I would have gone to Oslo to receive the prize alright. But I would have taken Greg Mortenson with me. And immediately after the award ceremony, I would have escorted Greg to the steps outside the award hall and given the Peace Prize to him. In front of all those reporters, that's exactly what I would have done.

I have no patience for fools and that's my estimation of the Prize Committee - for their efforts, in accordance with a preordained agenda, to further glorify the US strongman Blacque* Obammer*. Don't they know? World peace has a lot more to do with the efforts of a lot of unsung heroes like Mortenson than it does with speeches made by the highly propagandized Leader of the Free World.

Consider:

QUOTE: [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greg_Mortenson ]:

In the process of building schools, Mortenson has survived an eight-day armed 1996 kidnapping in the tribal areas of Waziristan, in Pakistan's North-West Frontier Province; escaped a 2003 firefight between Afghan opium warlords; endured two fatwās by angry Islamic clerics for educating girls; and received hate mail and threats from fellow Americans for helping educate Muslim children.

[and]

Mortenson believes that education and literacy for girls globally is the most important investment all countries can make to create stability, bring socio-economic reform, decrease infant mortality, decrease the population explosion, and improve health, hygiene, and sanitation standards globally.  Mortenson believes that 'fighting terrorism' only perpetuates a cycle of violence, and that there should be a global priority to 'promote peace' through education and literacy, with an emphasis on girls' education. "You can drop bombs, hand out condoms, build roads or put in electricity, but unless the girls are educated, a society won't change", is an often quoted statement made by Mortenson.

:UNQUOTE.

Steven Searle (was) a candidate for U.S. President in 2008:

"I also have no patience with the likes of Alfred Nobel, the inventor of dynamite and the owner of a major munitions factory, who tried to buy his way into heaven by funding a peace prize. It doesn't work like that, Alfred" - Steve.
