Contrasting, there are those who freeload their way through life. You know the type. More annoying are those who freeload and are rewarded. You know the type.
Our International Red Cross is a hardworking organization performing much good for all peoples. Now over a century old, the Red Cross is periodically well rewarded for this good given to our world through their efforts. One of these rewards is the Nobel Peace Prize.
The Red Cross was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1917, 1944 and 1963 most deservingly so. This reward is in recognition of their saving lives, taking care of prisoners of war, bringing news to anxious families, providing food and shelter for those in need along with many other highly commendable humanitarian deeds.
All of us know and agree the Red Cross both well earned and well deserved their Nobel Peace Prizes, this is beyond reproach.
Back in 1952, Albert Schweitzer earned himself a Nobel Peace Prize for his decades of dedication to healing the disadvantaged and the poor down in then French Equatorial Africa, specifically Lambaréné. During his years of personal sacrifice Schweitzer built a modern hospital through contributions received from his solicitation efforts. Schweitzer used his Nobel Peace Prize money, $33,000, to build a leprosarium for the most unfortunate of people.
Awarding a Nobel Peace Prize to Schweitzer has never been questioned, never will.
Martin Luther King was the youngest person to earn a Nobel Peace Prize in 1964 and he certainly earned his, well earned. King changed our world for the better, our entire world. Sadly, four years later over in Memphis, he paid the ultimate price for his good works, with his life.
Of all Nobel Peace Prize winners, Martin Luther King is at the top of the list for earning his.
Mother Teresa is right up there with King, right up there in Heaven. 1979 brought to her a Nobel Peace Prize for her tireless work at bettering the lives of the direly poor. Mother Teresa took care of the unwashed masses, tended to the outcast, gave comfort to those thrown away by society. This girl's best work is her "Missionaries of Charity" which are worldwide and continuing to provide for the poorest of the poor. None would dare question her Nobel Peace Prize awarded in 1979 year.
Over the decades, many have well earned a Nobel Peace Prize, most justifiably so.
Then there are those freeloaders who engage in manipulation and fraud for personal gain under a guise of "earning a living " or a guise of doing good for our world and peoples.
Yasser Arafat, the most famous of Islamic terrorists, a man responsible for the slaughter of thousands, was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1994 year. This award marked the beginning of the disgrace of, the tarnishing of the Nobel Peace Prize. Yasser Arafat Mohammed Abdel-Raouf Arafat As Qudwa al-Hussaeini only needed to denounce terrorism to earn his Nobel while continuing to engage in horrific murder of innocents, especially children and mothers.
Not many years later, Kofi Annan of the United Nations received his Nobel Peace Prize in 2001 year. Annan is known for his covering up the largest scam of history, the Iraqi "Oil For Food " fraud which lined his pockets and the pockets of others with money while Saddam Hussein slaughtered his own people. Then came 2002 year and former President Jimmy Carter is awarded a Nobel Peace Prize for reasons none can quite understand. History treats Carter as the worst president of America and as a puppet of Islamic terrorists.
By now the Nobel Peace Prize is considered an object of ridicule and scorn.
This year, Barack Obama is awarded a Nobel Peace Prize for his doing diddly-squat, for his doing nothing at all save for his fancy deceitful rhetoric. His is the most contentious award of the history of the Nobel Peace Prize. Blistering critiques of this decision by those boys over in Norway is coming in from around our world. People are mad, millions of people are mad.
The Nobel Peace Prize is now worth less than a child's toy found in a Cracker Jack box.
