Mikey, not to slam the Bush administration, but Obama was elected into the situation of a country in two wars. Bringing a satisfactory close to these very complex geopolitical wars is not something he can do by just throwing a switch.

Right or wrong, the Nobel committee was awarding him on his goals not his current situation. Now, whether this award criteria is correct or incorrect is a question for the committee.

Did anyone notice Obama is donating the award money? Something over a million dollars US. THAT is impressive no matter what one thinks of the man's politics.

Did I say it should be a president? I don't remember Carter invading anyone or escalating anyones quagmire so he blows clintoon away. Actually the last person to be considered for the nobel peace prize should be the president of the country that is responsible for more unneeded death than the rest of the world combined including mother israel.

I think the nobel prize is as legitimate as a grammy or emmy. It's one group's interpretation of success in that field.

Adolf Hitler was nominated once as well as George W Bush.

In this world of 'Image is Everything',
'Believe the Hype' war slogans,
People who Whistle Blow get fired,
and Self Aggrandizing Honor for Inadequacy,

It's time to Hype the Peace!

He was nominated 10 days after becoming president.
We should all meet again here in 3 months to see if he cuts down on the killing anywhere.
Place your bets, gentlemen. Put your rep on the line.
I say more killing in 3 months. If I'm wrong. . .goodbye forever YaHooka.

That pic is assuredly false...Bush would never use a word like 'lucrative.'

Hitler was also Time Magazine's 'Man of the Year' in 1938 (or maybe 7).

Wealthy Secret Societies helped Hitler become very well funded, by both sides:





Pictures of Nazi Catholic Vaticanites (more pictures)








Not to mention: The Vril, The Thule, and Skull & Bones

The Decadent Worker

“Despite the efforts to break up the coal and steel empires into smaller units,
most of them have in fact come together again. The one victory the
Allied ‘decartelisers’ can point to is that the Verinigte Stahlwerks, the
notorious giant steel cartel that dominated the Ruhr before the war, has not
been re-formed. But even that is only a hollow victory, for the Thyssen
Group, welded in 1963 out of just two segments of it, is today far bigger than
the old VS ever was. Similarly with IG Farben, the mammoth chemical
concern, which was split into three by the Allied ‘trust-buster’ — now each of
the three offshoots is larger than its former parent!..” (p. 280)

Significantly, it was John J. McCloy, who later served on the Warren
Commission and who had worked for Morgan banking interests (which I
believe are involved in financing the Vril Burgs) who pardoned from war crimes
the notorious German industrialist, Alfried Krupp: “He had also to many
people’s surprise decided to cancel the order confiscating Krupp’s
properties — it had not been expected he would go quite that far. McCloy’s
justification for his generosity was that no other war criminal had been
punished this way: ‘Confiscation of personal (sic) property does not belong to
the practices of our legal system and in general is in contradiction to the
American conception of justice.’…” (pp. 233-4) No other war criminal was rich
enough to be punished that way!

These quotes are from The House of Krupp by Peter Batty
(Stein and Day, 1967), a book that also explains how the Russians became
post-war customers of Krupp steel and uranium,
although not as
soon as they would have liked. Evidently American bankers were alarmed and
many negotiations “broke down on credit terms.” Not to be daunted by that
much, however, “Kruschev himself took a hand in the next stage of the
wooing when, at the Leipzig Trade Fair in the following March, that is March
of 1959, he made the East German press drop their usual denunciations of
Krupps as warmongers, and of Alfried in particular as a convicted war
criminal. Moreover, he visited the Krupp stand at the Fair and drank a toast
to the firm out of a Krupp stainless steel tumbler filled with French Cognac,
expressing regret that the head of the House was not there in person, but
sending Alfried his good wishes all the same. Today, Alfried’s
name no longer appears on the Soviet list of war criminals and until quite
recently the House of Krupp maintained a permanent office in Moscow…”
(pp. 257-258) Was Chernobyl built for the Russians by Krupp? I am asking.

“Luce (the founder of Time Magazine) too was to be a good friend of Krupp’s, for in August
1957, on the occasion of “Alfried’s fiftieth birthday, a largely complementary
cover-story entitled The House that Krupp Built appeared in Time magazine.
Time’s proprietor was also believed to be instrumental in Alfried’s getting a
visa to attend a conference for international businessmen and statesmen
which his magazine was sponsoring in San Francisco
that same
autumn, at which Alfried had been invited to speak on ‘The Partnership
Approach.’…” (p. 253)
