Nobel Peace Prize

Nobel Peace Prize  (Nobel prize)
Start	10 December 1901

The Nobel Peace Prize is one of the five Nobel Prizes created by the Swedish industrialist, inventor, and armaments manufacturer Alfred Nobel, along with the prizes in Chemistry, Physics, Physiology or Medicine, and Literature.

Official Story

Since December 1901, it has been awarded annually (with some exceptions) to those who have "done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses".

Criticism

Even the Nobel Committee and the corporate press willingly discuss 'mistakes', like Henry Kissinger (1972) or Barack Obama (2009), who were too obvious war-mongers.

By discussing the 'mistakes' superfically, they deflect from what the prize is really used for - to create a moral,humanitarian image for Western interventions abroad. The winners are often from a country where a regime change operation is in progress, and is meant to give credibility to the notion of a noble opposition that craves for a Western intervention. Examples include the Pakistani girl Malali Yusefai who was persecuted by the Taliban and received the Prize in 2014, a de facto support for the continued occupation of Afghanistan'; or the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (2013) which gave gravitas to what turned out to be a tool of US/NATO false flag accusations against enemy states (Skripal-affair, numerous false flag gas attacks in Syria, Navalny-affair etc).

A remarkable number of recipients during the Cold War turned out to have a CIA connection.

Annually on 10 December

According to Alfred Nobel's Will, the recipient is selected by the Norwegian Nobel Committee, a five-member committee appointed by the Parliament of Norway. Since 1990, the prize is awarded on 10 December in Oslo City Hall each year. The prize was formerly awarded in the Atrium of the University of Oslo Faculty of Law (1947–89), the Norwegian Nobel Institute (1905–46), and the Parliament (1901–04).

Due to its political nature, the Nobel Peace Prize has, for most of its history, been the subject of controversies.

2017 Award

The International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN) won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2017. Announcing the award, Nobel Committee chairwoman Berit Reiss-Andersen said:

"ICAN has been a driving force in prevailing upon the world's nations to pledge to cooperate … in efforts to stigmatise, prohibit and eliminate nuclear weapons. She noted that similar prohibitions have been reached on chemical and biological weapons, land mines and cluster munitions, but despite being "even more destructive" nuclear weapons have avoided a similar international ban. "The organisation is receiving the award for its work to draw attention to the catastrophic humanitarian consequences of any use of nuclear weapons, and for its ground-breaking efforts to achieve a treaty-based prohibition on such weapons."

2021 Award

Russia says "foreign agents" were awarded the prize in 2021.

Bill Gates

Several things point to Bill Gates trying to buy himself the prize, including his ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Gates had connections to several former Nobel winners, including Frank Wilczek (Physics 2004), Gerald Edelman (Medicine 1972) and Murray Gell-Mann (physics). Epstein also had connections to the International Peace Institute (IPI) and its leader Terje Rød-Larsen. Rød-Larsen, close to the Nobel committee, arranged a meeting with Torbjørn Jagland, former Prime Minister of Norway and at the time chair of the Nobel committee. After meeting Jagland, Gates donated millions to IPI. This raises the question of a quid-pro-quo, where Gates was rewarding IPI as a reward for the introduction to Jagland.

Those listed were:

• Bellingcat
• Andrei Zakharov from BBC Russia
• Dmitry Muratov from Novaya Gazeta
• Daniil Sotnikov from Dozhd TV

Jan Øberg	“There are lots of ways of securing and making peace in the world, but we're not supposed to discuss them. The military-industrial-media-academic-complex prevents us from doing that. You can't do that as a state financed institute. You could look at SIPRI, they don't do peace research anymore if they ever did, they do security studies, peace has been dropped. Most of the peace research institutes in Scandinavia don't do peace research, defined as reducing violence.”	Jan Øberg	November 2024
