This is building consent for a US war on Venezuela.

Nobel war prize more like, considering the people they award this to.

    But it is such a useless statement? Everything could be influenced by something or someone.

    KatManDoo obviously sees the peace price committee as a puppet show played by the US. This is obviously not the case and stating ‘but they could add pressure, theoretically, maybe, possibly’ is not adding anything else but realism conspiracies

      For sure it is, but when the committee is picking someone only a Neo Liberal would you start seeing the magic of the Nobel Peace Prize slip away.

      Not only could they be influenced it is apparent that they are also not immune to the pervasive influence of capitalists regardless of their actual intentions.

      My reaction is basically, let’s get real. They are not beyond corruption. That is all I am getting at. I am not trying to prove a conspiracy, because there is no need to.

      The Nobel Peace Prize committee makes shitty picks like when they gave the award to Obama who then proceeded to bomb the shit out of the Middle East.

      So yeah, there is definitely a reason to be critical of them.
