Is This What A Nobel Peace Price Winner Looks And Sounds Like In 2025?...Revised

 Further revelations exposed Maria Machado as a person that should not have received the Nobel Peace Price  after all; she is not a unifier.

Please follow the link below to learn her true character, which confirms that these 'Prices' can be political in nature as its history kind of validates.

"Opposition leader María Corina Machado of Venezuela has won the Nobel Peace Prize. The Norwegian Nobel committee praised her as a unifying figure in Venezuela’s political opposition. Machado has remained in hiding because of threats against her life. Her courage has inspired many, especially as President Nicolás Maduro’s government has targeted opponents."

"Ex-Israeli war chief confirms issuing Hannibal Directive to kill own civilians, soldiers on 7 Oct"

Within a few days many surmised that the majority of soldiers and civilians killed October 7th, were killed by the Israeli Defense Forces, IDF.  Hamas' goal was to take as many hostages as possible.  Death Israelis would not achieve this goal.  Hamas may have killed a few in the rush, however, logic says they were after live hostages, not dead ones.

Israeli forces used attack helicopters, drones, and tanks to kill their own civilians and soldiers while blaming the deaths on Hamas.

It is astounding that domestic and international news outlets hardly ever mention this fact about the IDF's Hannibal directive, they simply accuse Hamas for all the deaths experienced that day, over and over.

"Former Israeli defense minister Yoav Gallant has acknowledged ordering the army to use the Hannibal Directive to kill Israeli civilians and soldiers during the Hamas attack on 7 October 2023.

During an interview with Israel’s Channel 12 on 7 February, Gallant admitted to ordering the controversial protocol that involves killing captives along with their captors.

When asked whether an order was given to implement the Hannibal Directive, Gallant responded:

 “I think that, tactically, in some places, it was given, and in other places, it was not given, and that is a problem.”"

"Congressman Spills The Tea on AIPAC"

 Congressman tells it as it is.  Apparently most Republican members of Congress have an AIPAC Babysitter, whom they pay respect to regarding interests of Israel.  It is not far fetched to assume that the same applies to Democratic members of Congress.

The US Supreme Court under the influence of?

 In an idiotic decision the US Supreme Court not only ruled on the case before them (whether or not a certain film could be aired) but took the unwise decision to open the floodgates by, illegally, allowing unlimited spending for elections by all, including corporations (e.g. PACs, Super PACs and AIPAC), ensuring election influence on steroids.  Campaign spending was not at issue in this case. This basically allowed big money to run the election show.  Instead of Millions of dollars we are now talking about Billions.   

"The Supreme Court’s 2010 ruling in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission is a controversial decision that reversed century-old campaign finance restrictions and enabled corporations and other outside groups to spend unlimited money on elections.

While wealthy donors, corporations, and special interest groups have long spent money on campaigns, their role has ballooned as a result of Citizens United and subsequent decisions, resulting in a fusion of private wealth and political power unseen since the late 19th century."  

"The Supreme Court eventually decided 5–4 that Citizens United was within its First Amendment rights to spend its money disseminating the film. But rather than opining solely on the case before it as it had been asked to do, the Court took the opportunity to entirely strike down century-old prohibitions on corporate “independent” spending — money that doesn’t go directly to a candidate or party.  This applied to labor unions as well. Lower courts applying the ruling extended it to invalidate almost all fundraising and spending restrictions for groups that purport to be separate from candidates, many of which are today known as “super PACs.”"

The Death Of The Planet Kleptocracy

Once in Universal History there was a planet called Kleptocracy, where corrupt leaders used political and monetary powers to steal, more efficiently, the wealth of the people including land they had governed.  The Gods who created all the planet had to offer, hoped that one day the inhabitants would use their brains and their innate knowledge of what is good and just, and act accordingly.  Failing that the Gods' plan was to allow the destruction of all that occupied this planet.  Thousands of years went by without any improvement in human behavior, if anything the situation on the planet worsened significantly.

While the struggle, of the poor, to survive became harder by the year; the rich amassed their unearned riches a thousandfold, by comparison.  Some of the peoples of nations cried out in demonstrations against the ongoing corruption, however, to no avail.  Once these criminal characters were elected they acted like Dictators, and the peoples needs were never fully addressed.  To the contrary, the people's paid tax monies were used for foreign wars against imagined enemies and in support of foreign rogue countries, all at the expense of the citizenry.  Even Genocide was financed this way.

To ease the mind of the elite Kleptocrats they invented 'Artificial Intelligence' using it to decide who shall prosper and who is expendable and could therefore be destroyed by any means possible.  Some of the poor were dehumanized and called animals, making it easier to exterminate them.  It became so bad that the once marginalized became abusers themselves, carrying out wholesale Genocide without global intervention by the so-called good people of the planet.

While there was a lot of official verbal condemnation of the Genocide carried out, at will, by a rogue nation, no meaningful action was taken against them.  History repeated itself!  Nuclear weapons were invented helping to scare lesser nations into submission.  The fact that many world leaders were mentally unfit for their positions allowed some of them to order the use of nuclear weapons, without considering the deadly consequences.  According to plan the Gods will let it happen to allow their experiment to end.

In some lesser countries their military would step in and take over the Government to avoid self-destruction, however, major countries had an obedient blind military who followed any orders, by their civilian masters, insane or not.  The military leaders were hugely profiting from the arms production and worldwide black market sales, hence their complicity.  Historically their books failed every audit year after year.  It was an accepted fact.

The end result was, 'Planet Kleptocracy', while still circling the Sun, is as dead as its Moon.  Will the Gods make the same mistake again?  It is very, very doubtful because 'Mankind' turned out to worship not the Gods but money and the killing of the innocent without cause for territorial gain.  Nothing had changed since ancient times, humans were as cruel as ever, the Gods no longer wished to witness their failed creation and let it end.

Epilogue: 

One might ask was there no way to avoid this apocalypse?  The problem was the absence of unity among the peoples of this planet, nor within the individual nations.  This lack of unity kept their criminal leaders in power, some of which had a cult-like following.

  In contrast, the world's Kleptocrats were very much unified; there was this 'Honor among Thieves' that held them together, war or no war, everyone of them became richer and richer.

Finally, more and more countries were on the verge of going bankrupt and what better way to hide an ongoing robbery then to reset the books by the use of wars.  Nobody will ask money question because everybody will be preoccupied trying to stay alive.

"Italian frigate escorting Gaza aid flotilla to exit mission "

 Italy's Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni is a fraud, she never meant to really protect the Convoy, her Ego, apparently, was in need to make headlines.  Shame, shame!  In addition she is like many so-called world leaders who are afraid of Israel's killer machine.

Meloni, if you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen, do the honorably thing and resign; you are obviously not up to the job.  Your people will not forget your cowardliness.  Just to think that I actually liked you makes me want to puke.

"An Italian naval frigate escorting the Gaza-bound Sumud humanitarian aid flotilla is set to withdraw from the mission as the ships approach 150 nautical miles from the enclave, organizers said Tuesday.

"The Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has informed us that the naval frigate shadowing our flotilla will soon issue a radio call, offering participants the ‘opportunity’ to abandon ship and return to shore before reaching the so-called ‘critical zone’,” the group said in a statement.

The organizers accused Rome of "sabotage," claiming the decision was meant to "demoralize and fracture a peaceful humanitarian mission that governments have failed to take on themselves."

They described Italy’s stance as "cowardice dressed up as diplomacy," arguing that if Rome truly sought to protect lives, it would use its naval fleet to ensure the safe passage of volunteers to Gaza rather than act as "Israel’s enabler.”

"Every single participant on board came with full knowledge of the risks," the statement added. "We are here because it is far more dangerous to remain silent in the face of genocide, starvation, and collective punishment than it is to sail carrying humanitarian aid."

They vowed the mission would continue regardless of Italy’s withdrawal. "The flotilla sails onward. The Italian navy will not derail this mission," the group said.

Italy’s General Staff announced earlier Tuesday that the frigate Alpino will issue a "final call” to activists once the flotilla reaches the 150-nautical-mile limit off Gaza, expected early Wednesday. The frigate "will not cross this boundary, ensuring that the safety of those on board is not endangered," the statement said. It added that the ship is prepared to receive individuals who voluntarily decide to disembark, in line with security procedures and international regulations.

Defense Minister Guido Crosetto urged activists to consider a possible cease-fire initiative under U.S. mediation and to explore alternative ways of delivering aid, while Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani reiterated that Italy’s navy would not escort the flotilla if it tried to break Israel’s blockade."

My wife and I planted our roots in Ainakea, on the Big Island, in 1989. We chose Ainakea because it is located in, what we think, the prettiest area of the Island. The air is clean, the neighborhood is quiet, and the neighbors are very friendly. In 2016 we moved back to the mainland, with good memories of the Island. October 2020 was the 10th Anniversary of this Blog, which began in Hawaii.
