It's a bribe and it won't help her a bit.

I’m not certain it’s a bribe, Robot. When you live under the surveillance of government security forces, your world closes in, and it’s difficult to see beyond what’s happening on your own doorstep. I can say that with some certainty, having lived through it in Zimbabwe. Maybe she genuinely believes Trump’s actions have saved Venezuela, who knows? But I completely agree that her gift will not benefit her.

Really…disappointed…in this woman doing this.

I can understand that Suze.

I still have hope that what Trump received is a quickly produced copy.

Or at least, that seems about as likely as that Trump would ever hand over power to a woman. (Especially one who has intelligence enough to more likely be manipulating Trump, than the reverse.)

✅ Felon Bribe. MAGA Fatler’s mentor and “groomer” was Roy Cohn‼️ This is about Revenge ‼️ 🆘 USA 🇺🇸 🗺️

I’m curious about the sentiment among the Nobel committee.

Lori Corbet Mann's avatar

They released a very diplomatic but equally firm statement making their position clear: “The medal and the diploma are the physical symbols confirming that an individual or organisation has been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. The prize itself – the honour and recognition – remains inseparably linked to the person or organisation designated as the laureate by the Norwegian Nobel Committee.”

If it’s of interest, you can read the full release here: https://www.nobelpeaceprize.org/press/press-releases/the-nobel-prize-and-the-laureate-are-inseparable

Dear Lori ! Thank you for a deep look into the energies of North and SOUTH American history. I read this with great interest and await your next "dive" into what lies beyond....

I’m glad you found it helpful, dear Zsanan. 🙏🏼

Wow 😳

I can't wait to read your deeper dive into this Lori. A very informative post. Trump's determination to own the northern hemisphere is a very scary prospect. When will the world wake up?

Lori Corbet Mann's avatar

I’m glad it landed for you Ian. Hopefully the deeper dive will help open eyes.

Kat Poise's avatar

Thank you! I remain teachable 😊

Lori Corbet Mann's avatar

And that’s perhaps the greatest thing any of us can profess to be, Kat. 😊

Well said Lori. I look forward to reading your full assessment of this action and its resulting repercussions.

MAGA Fatler is out for Revenge ‼️ Machado, doesn’t think outside of the box‼️ She, had her daughter receive the Nobel, not her‼️ Where’s her warrior spirit ⁉️‼️Nobel should be given back- -there are rules to be followed ‼️‼️ 😡

I understand your anger Kat, but it’s worth being careful about how it is expressed. Outrage is contagious and the fastest route to burnout; it ultimately serves the regime more than it helps the cause.

For context, Machado had been in hiding in fear for her life, for over a year. Leaving Venezuela would have exposed her to the possibility of being disappeared and tortured by SEBIN. In sending her daughter to collect it, she only did what other prize winners in a similar situation have done in previous years. And The Nobel Committee was clear that what she chose to do with the medal was entirely her decision, but that the award itself was not transferable. By their own rules, nothing improper took place.

While I don't agree with rejecting the US, I am trying to avoid US HQ'd Big Tech Monopolies.
