And the Devil gets wings...

They have had wings.

A Norwegian lawmaker has nominated the Black Lives Matter movement for the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize for bringing attention to racial inequities around the world, while dismissing the riots and violence done in the name of the movement.

In his nomination papers, Norwegian MP Petter Eide said the movement forced nations to reckon with racism and other injustices, The Guardian reported.

"I find that one of the key challenges we have seen in America, but also in Europe and Asia, is the kind of increasing conflict based on inequality," he wrote. "Black Lives Matter has become a very important worldwide movement to fight racial injustice. They have had a tremendous achievement in raising global awareness and consciousness about racial injustice.

"They have had a tremendous achievement in raising global awareness and consciousness about racial injustice," he added.
Eide has previously nominated activists from Russia and China for the prize.

While Black Lives Matter has marched and advocated for racial equality and social justice causes, it has been particularly outspoken about police brutality following deadly police encounters with Black youths and men in recent years.

The movement came about in 2013 after the shooting death of Trayvon Martin, who shot was by a neighborhood watch volunteer, who was later acquitted. Martin was unarmed.

The movement gained further recognition after the police killing of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo. in 2014.

Coupled with the praise for racial awareness has been criticism for having encouraged rioting and vandalism during protests and other demonstrations. Critics accuse its supporters of acting more like a violent gang than a civil rights movement.

Many took to the streets over the summer to voice dismay over the police involved death of George Floyd and others. Some of those gatherings devolved into rioting, breaking into stores and engaging in violence against authorities and those who disagree with them.

And then they want to offer the vaccine to Gitmo prisoners. A double WTF this morning.

Norwegians are generally retards.

Norwegians tend to have a higher IQ than other groups of white Europeans. They are just socialists who do well because of all the oil they have been able to sell as a nation. They are run by their government just as much as we Americans are. We are all so close to looking like China in that regard that pointing fingers is irrelevant.

They gave one to Yasser Arafat, it’s a joke.

The prize was instigated and funded by Swedish inventor Alfred Nobel. I got curious about his politics and looked him up to see if he promoted nonsense like this. While I didn't find much about his politics, his history is interesting. He had a PhD in chemistry and is well known for his invention of dynamite and other explosives, some of them military. He became quite wealthy. When his brother died, the news media somehow got the impression that it was him who died and some of the news headlines were very uncomplimentary. They called him a merchant of death because of his military explosives inventions. Nobel was appalled at what they thought of him. He'd never married or had kids so he willed his entire fortune to finance the Nobel prizes, including the peace prize, to try to head off the insults.

There are 5 prizes, 4 in the sciences and 1 is the peace prize. He specified in his will that the 4 science prizes would be awarded by a Swedish committee. For some unknown reason that died with him, he specified that the peace prize be awarded by a Norwegian committee. That's the one that makes these idiotic awards to people who seem to do the most to prevent peace.

often communicated that he hoped his inventions would make war so terrible that people would find better options.

So the folks have the news on (FOX) and there is a head line that reads BLM nominated for Nobel Peace Prize. WTF
