All of the awards like the Nobel prize are merely trophies used by members of The Pyramid to create status

Actions speak louder than words, their “awards” mean nothing to the average man now and even less when they clearly are only given to those who support The System

Watch and See..

Hey, a Nobel Peace Prize for Kerry would be at least as well deserved as the Silver Star and Purple Hearts he was “awarded” in Vietnam. Hell, they might as well throw in a Nobel Prize for Physics while they’re at it. He deserves one of those as much as he deserves a Peace Prize.

LOL! He didn’t toss HIS medals(borrowed from what I remember but, that may be a falsehood too) so maybe he’ll borrow the lyin’ king’s medal if feels the need to toss one.

But look who is qualified to nominate someone for a Nobel Peace Prize:

• Members of national assemblies and governments of states
• Members of international courts
• University rectors; professors of social sciences, history, philosophy, law and theology; directors of peace research institutes and foreign policy institutes
• Persons who have been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize
• Board members of organizations that have been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize
• Active and former members of the Norwegian Nobel Committee; (proposals by members of the Committee to be submitted no later than at the first meeting of the Committee after February 1)
• Former advisers to the Norwegian Nobel Committee

That is a far broader range of eligible nominators than exists for the scientific prizes.

So any member of a puppet legislature or professor of grievance studies at a no-name college can nominate anyone, and it means jack except to the headline writers who don’t bother to look up the nomination process.

The Nobel Peace Prize group lost all credibility when they gave it to Obama, not for accomplishing anything, but for saying he would. To give it to Kerry for the Iran deal which makes the world a much more dangerous place, only shows that they are incapable of learning from previous mistakes. They are truly stupid.

“Shrimp tacos I could go for. Didn’t nobel have something to do with dynamite? Now that’s peacful.”

Find the book “Aftermath, The Remnants of War” and read the intro. I tried to find it online and post but couldn’t. Nobel wanted to atone for the use of his invention in war. He later became interrested in harnessing the atom. Something he thought would only be used for good.

On second thought, read the whole book. It’s fascinating.

To qualify for a Nobel Peace Prize, you must be AntiAmerican. John Kerry has been at the top of that list since Vietnam.

The Nobel Peace Prize Committee is a creature of the Norwegian Parliament. And,
Article 1 Section 9:
No title of nobility shall be granted by the United States: and no person holding any office of profit or trust under them, shall, without the consent of the Congress, accept of any present, emolument, office, or title, of any kind whatever, from any king, prince, or foreign state
The Congress should enact a resolution denying any member of an American administration authorization to “accept of any" award by the Nobel Peace Prize Committee.

Even if Obama presumptuously vetoes it, accepting such award under that cloud could result in a suit.

Further, each state legislature should enact prohibitions of the placing of the name of any person who had, without explicit, affirmative authorization of Congress, accepted on their own behalf or for any institution over which such person had significant influence, any gift in excess of $5000 (which is the limit on personal contributions in Federal election campaigns) on any ballot in their state. And also prohibiting any elector to be on the ballot pledged to such person to be on a ballot in their state.

Given Hillary’s Clinton Foundation shenanigans, that would torpedo her ambitions permanently.
