2025 Nobel Peace Prize winner María Corina Machado, a US government-funded far-right coup leader, vowed to privatize Venezuela's oil. US companies will "make a lot of money", she told Donald Trump Jr.
Just beyond belief - or is it? That an ultra right wing war monger, advocating for regime change can win the Nobel PEACE prize? What upside down world are we inhabiting? ….And despite massive ongoing protest marches around the world, we’ve seen governments stand by watching a ‘to be continued’ genocide in Gaza, Trump thinking he deserved Peace Prize despite sending ‘weapons of mass destruction’ (remember that term?) to Israhell etc etc ….”Beam me up Scotty”…I despair…..
What a travesty that Machado was awarded a Nobel Peace Prize. Even the rightwing conservatives call Machado too extreme. When will the US ever stop intervening in Latin America? The US foreign policy is a disaster eveywhere. Thank you for another great article Ben Norton.
One thing you can say about America that remains valid over time: our government never has difficulty in dredging up some swamp monster in foreign countries willing to do its bidding. Why, one might ask. Money! It’s always about money, and there are always those who will sing any tune for it.
What is the world coming to when someone like Machado is considered a "peace advocate." She's a traitor to her own country and its peoples. Disgusting.
I can't believe that human beings like this even exist, but they abound in Latin America. They are about 5% of the population, and have a sense of entitlement that is incomprehensible to a psychologically healthy human.
I have met people whose lives fall apart if their maid quits.. they literally cannot handle life without a team of pseudo-slaves to keep their world in order.
I have also know extremely wealthy people who are quite aware of their inherited privilege and have done everything in their power to make their societies fairer, but they face huge obstacles. in societies inherited from colonialism that have persisted for 500 years, and the basic model won't seem to go away.. in fact the US is moving in the direction of becoming more like Latin America, and this is facilitated by ignorant people who can't see the warning signs.
So is she going to get the Russians to remove the bombers and other aircraft that they have in there now is she going to get them to remove the nuclear weapons that are there now.
I don't think so.
And they would be fools to give up the nuclear weapons now.
Why are so many females in positions of national leadership such war mongers and constantly seeking subservience to dicatorial monsters? Poor fatherly parental relationships? Abusive husbands? Lack of self esteem? It seems to. E statistically out of wack.
They are handpicked front-women. Present a "progressive", "inclusive" face to front imperial agenda of exploiting everyone on the planet including own countrymen.
For this kind of job you tend to need psychopaths and at the very least, deformed, amoral sorry excuses for human beings.
Indeed you are correct. My concern is statistically, we should see some examples of moderate women in national leadership as we see for men. Dont see it.
What statistical analysis are you referring to? Have you done one.
My point is: we live in corrupt male dominated societies that use women to front their horrors. Even the men they use are not moderate, but just corrupt tools. The likes of macron and Starmer have shown their real face - no longer can be pretended to be "moderate" . As such, am not sure why you expect to see moderate women as the tools in this time.
We are in a descent to hell. And you think you will find moderates driving the bus?
What a despicable human being that woman is and what a fraud the Nobel Peace Prize has become

The Nobel prize for privatization of national wealth into the hands of US oligarchs. That's "building democracy"? Right.

So much for the Nobel PEACE Prize laureate , ha what a scam like everyone and everything else , dystopian inc. shame

Kissinger dropped 2 756 000 tons of bombs on Cambodia, and the next year he was given the Nobel Peace Prize..
Just like Obama..

We were just talking about that here in this home, and saying what an insult this was to previous laureates.

The same is true of the men in these roles.

Dilma is an excellent example. The fact that she was undermined by u.s. malfeasance (lawfare) should not be forgotten.
