Giving the Nobel Peace Prize to María Corina Machado is a very effective trojan horse because everyone can pretend that it's a middle finger to Donald Trump when she openly supports the US doing regime change in Venezuela (which is what he also wants)

Medan regeringen stoppar nattågen, så vill de bränna 318 miljoner skattekronor per år på att subventionera förlusttyngda lokala flygplatser, vilket är en ökning av de statliga bidragen till flyget med över 400 procent

These are all flagrant lies, unsourced yet printed in a newspaper that allegedly fact checks things. The rest of it is meandering panic-bait that treats jail breaking LLMs. They don’t even describe the virus! They just said someone made one. Bullshit!

One answer is to look at the data. After the launch of GPT-5 in August, some thought that A.I. had hit a plateau. Expert analysis suggests this isn’t true. GPT-5 can do things no other A.I. can do. It can hack into a web server. It can design novel forms of life. It can even build its own A.I. (albeit a much simpler one) from scratch.

It’s worth bearing in mind that to the libs, “defenders of democracy” can mean anything from “Barack Obama” to “Islamist militia we have armed to the teeth” or “death squad carrying out a genocide”, and that in practice, these warm approving terms tend to mean “cooperative with America”.

Apparently our newest Nobel Peace Prize winner wrote to fucking Netanyahu for help in overthrowing the government of her own country dawg

The population of Venezuela needs international protection against the widespread and systematic attack to which the Venezuelan regime subjects it. This is demonstrated by the report dated May 29, 2018, submitted by the Organisation of American States to the International Criminal Court. This has served as the basis for nine states, including Argentina, to file complaints against the regime before that international body. We deeply appreciate this effort, which is decisive for the outcome of the Venezuelan tragedy.

I am convinced that the international community, in accordance with the responsibility to protect doctrine, is called upon to provide Venezuelans with the necessary support to bring about the regime change that is urgently needed to restore national and international security. Therefore, I have recently sent letters to several of the world’s leading figures to promote before the United Nations Security Council the adoption of effective protection measures for Venezuela by fostering regime change, a step that necessarily entails strengthening international security. Today I want to ask Israel and Argentina to contribute their expertise and influence to advance a sound and urgent decision-making process in the Security Council.

Such measures are imperative in the face of a hemispheric security hotspot like the one currently posed by the regime oppressing Venezuela. The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and the International Organisation for Migration have certified that the current refugee crisis of people fleeing Venezuela is the largest in the history of the Americas. Argentina is an example of this crisis, having welcomed hundreds of thousands of our compatriots—a gesture for which Venezuelans will always be grateful. However, we must be aware that without a change of regime in our country, hemispheric and global security will be at risk.

Regeringens "historiska satsning på tåg" består alltså i att fixa 10% av underhållsskulden på 12 år och att lägga ner nattåg. I övrigt är dom upptagna med att hålla en öde flygplats vid liv.

Man får väl säga att fredspriset ändå blev en slags gåva till Trump. Maria Corina Machados vision för Venezuela är kompatibel med Trumps aggressionspolitik. Hennes kamp för massprivatiseringar sticker ut. Pristilldelningen lär också blidka USA:s neokonservativa, som nu står nära Demokraterna.

Machado är alltså nära allierad med såväl amerikansk som israelisk auktoritär ultrahöger och hon står både Trump och Netanyahu väldigt nära. Hon stödjer en utländsk intervention i Venezuela, i kampen för "västerländska värden".
