Nobel Peace Prize: Out of the ClosetDomenick J. Maglio, Ph.D. Neo-TraditionalistThe mainstream media has always heralded the Nobel Peace Prize as an award chosen by a committee of objective, unbiased peace loving dignitaries. The Nobel Peace Prize has been considered above reproach. The people who are selected are supposed to be have shown deeds that have advanced peace in the world. There are few citizens of the world that would be against the promotion of individuals who have courageously done deeds to avoid conflict. The Nobel Peace Prize has been a highly sought after award that not only has a significant monetary award of $1.4 million but more importantly gives the person worldwide notoriety as an agent of peace. Indisputable facts have surfaced that have made it obvious that peace is not the primary objective of the Norwegian committee of five. These elites are using their prestigious honor to spread their one-world-government objective. The award took even President Obama, who is not known for his personal humility, aback. He stated, "I am both surprised and deeply humbled by the decision of the Nobel Peace Prize Committee...to be honest, I do not feel I deserve to be in the company of so many transformational figures who have been honored by this award." President Obama's assessment is correct. He was 11 days in office when nominated and a total of 8 months into his administration where his primary focus has been on dismantling our capitalistic economy. His foreign policy efforts have been international orations: words not deeds. In his short span in office, Iran and North Korea's nuclear programs continue to expand. Dictator Chavez of Venezuela has increased his attacks on democratic countries and Arab-Israeli hostilities have increased, not diminished. When President Obama was presented with the gift of questionable election results and the spontaneous uprising of the people of Iran, he chose to cowardly remain silent. The Nobel committee members' justification for awarding the prize to Obama over 200 nominees boils down to his oratory skills to promise the international changes that the Nobel committee desires, which is multi-nationalism instead of America's past unilateralism. The committee stated the reason for his selection was "extraordinary efforts to strengthen diplomacy and cooperation between people... and attached special importance to Obama's vision and work for a world without nuclear weapons." This rationale for selecting President Obama defies reality. The "nicey-nice" diplomatic policy only has allowed Iran and North Korea to buy time to expend their nuclear ambitions. The Nobel Peace award has followed this formula of promoting rhetoric for 108 years. This agrees with their vision of a diplomatic global approach to solving world problems with little positive results. Other dubious award winners were former President Jimmy Carter whose weakness encouraged Iran's American hostage debacle. The lifelong terrorist, Yassir Arafat won for signing the Camp David Peace Accord, which turned out to be a mirage. Former President Wilson won for being the force behind the League of Nations, a dismal failure leading to WWII. Al Gore won for his "Inconvenient Truth" on global warming which has been shown to have convenient distortions and there has been a host of others who were questionably given the award. To understand the Nobel Committee agenda it is more important perhaps to look at the people who did not receive the prize. Mahatma Ghandi who inspired self-determination in India, Winston Churchill, who roused England to victory over Nazi Germany and President Ronald Reagan who pushed the Soviet Union to collapse never were Nobel winners. These men used personal and national strength to achieve peace. The international diplomatic forums of the League of Nations and United Nations have been abject failures. They establish sanctions against aggressors without enforcing them. The structure of each of these groups has allowed for hijacking and stalemating of coalitions of evil leaders to stop the sanctions from working. Unfortunately this diplomatic approach has given despots like Fidel and Chavez a world stage to gain invaluable credibility by whitewashing their own inhumanity to man. Deeds always count far more than talk, promises, or utopian visions. Ask any citizen living under tyranny whether they want freedom or to be forced to follow the dictates of a ruler. The answer is self-evident. The Nobel Peace Prize is out of the bag. It should be entitled the "Nobel Prize for Globalism." It is a disgrace for the committee to use the word "peace" to hide its true agenda of trans-nationalism. Any American who wins this phony award should denounce it on behalf of all Americans. The supporting of the demise of the USA through a one-world government is an abomination. It is not a badge of peace; it is a sign of treason to America's exceptionalism.
