NOBEL PEACE PRICE COMMITTEE: WE GIVE THIS AWARD, FOR PEACE

...

FIVE MINUTES LATER

Machado issues her first statement since being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize and makes a thinly-veiled appeal to Trump for US intervention in Venezuela:

This recognition of the struggle of all Venezuelans is a boost to conclude our task: to conquer Freedom.
We are on the threshold of victory and today, more than ever, we count on President Trump, the people of the United States, the peoples of Latin America, and the democratic nations of the world as our principal allies to achieve Freedom and democracy.
I dedicate this prize to the suffering people of Venezuela and to President Trump for his decisive support of our cause!

Trump attacks Democracy - not only in the USA but worldwide

- this fundamentally disqualifies him from receiving the Nobel Peace Prize

The 3 main criteria were met and the committee undertone is that this is opposite of what Trump regime is doing and what is happening in America today. Dictators and Dictators wannabees and their regime do not deserve the Nobel Peace Price. I am today a proud Norwegian.

What a sore loser. I mean, really.

"Heart of a humanitarian," my ass.

White House reacts to Trump’s Nobel prize loss
"President Trump will continue making peace deals around the world, ending wars, and saving lives," said Steven Cheung, White House Director of Communications, in a post on X reacting to the news that Maria Corina Machado had won the Nobel Peace Prize 2025.

"He has the heart of a humanitarian, and there will never be anyone like him who can move mountains with the sheer force of his will.

"The Nobel Committee proved they place politics over peace."

Peace is more than the absence of war
It means fostering a society rooted in democracy. Given this understanding, Trump's attack on democratic principles fundamentally disqualifies him from receiving the Nobel Peace Prize ✔

As Scott Pelley of 60 Minutes said recently, “You cannot have democracy without journalism.” And what’s happening right before our eyes is a full frontal assault on journalism, the First Amendment — and democracy."

"What makes these deals different is that they are across multiple platforms. To have the opportunity to establish an editorial line across TikTok, CBS News and CNN — that’s a new world.”

After criticism of the Trump-regime and Elon Musk:

X is just a mess 🤡

Das Urteil weist Trumps Anspruch auf absolute Exekutivgewalt frontal zurück, es wird für das Regime zu einem großen Problem werden. Schon jetzt sprechen Juristen von einem Präzedenzfall – einem der wenigen in der Trump-Ära, der der Willkür Einhalt gebietet.

The Trump regime's attack on freedom of speech is just the beginning of a shift toward controlled media. Trump's oligarchs will soon dominate the major media companies, transforming them into a propaganda arm of an anti-democratic authoritarian ideology

Der Angriff des Trump-Regimes auf die Meinungsfreiheit ist nur der Anfang einer Entwicklung hin zu kontrollierten Medien. Trumps Oligarchen beherrschen bald die bedeutendsten Medienunternehmen um sie zu einem Propaganda-Arm einer antidemokratischen Ideologie umzuwandeln:
