Michel Chossudovsky: Obama and the Nobel Prize Michel Chossudovsky, Globalresearch.ca, 11.10.2009 [freely translated from http: / / www.propagandaschock.blogspot.com] If war to peace, If concepts and realities upside down,
When fiction is the truth and the truth of fiction,
If a global military agenda is announced as a humanitarian effort, If the killing of Civilians as "collateral damage" often is If those who oppose the US-NATO led invasion of their homeland to be declared as "insurgents" or "terrorists."
If a preventive nuclear war is seen as self-defense. If widespread torture and "interrogation" techniques routinely used to "protect peace-keeping operations,"
If tactical nuclear weapons by the Pentagon as "harmless to civilians in the area," viewed
When three-quarters the U.S. income tax to finance its redistributing what is euphemistically called "national defense" When the top military leader, Commander in Chief, the greatest military power of the planet is presented as a global peacemaker,
If the lie to truth. Obama's "war without borders" We are at the crossroads of the most serious crisis in modern history. The United States, in cooperation with NATO and Israel launched a global military adventure - threatens the future of humanity - in a very real sense.
is at this critical point in our history, the decision of the Norwegian Nobel Prize Committee - the President and Commander in Chief, Barack Obama, to award the Nobel Peace Prize - complete is as a propaganda tool and a distraction method, fully what the "long war" of the Pentagon . support Literally, "a war without borders", as it is characterized by the global deployment of U.S. military power. Apart from political rhetoric
no meaningful reversal of U.S. foreign policy in comparison with the George W. Bush 's presidency has been that even in the slightest the awarding of the Nobel Prize Obama would be justified to. In fact the opposite is the case. The military agenda, Obama sought a wider war along new borders. With a new team of military and foreign policy advisers was the war agenda is far more effective in promoting escalation as the design of the neocons.
Since the presidency of Obama, this military project, has been intensified by the strengthening of U.S. military presence in all major areas of the world and the deployment of new advanced weapons systems in previously unprecedented scale.
The awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to Barack Obama gives legitimacy to the illegal war practices, including the occupation of foreign territories and the relentless killings of civilians in the name of "democracy".
Both the Obama administration and NATO directly threaten Russia, China and Iran. The United States developed under Obama "a global missile first strike system"
"Together with space-based weapons, the Airborne Laser, the next line of defense ... Never was it so close Ronald Reagan's dream of a multi-layered missile defense system - in short, Star Wars - realize, at least technological. In response to the upgrade, the rejuvenation and the modernization of the global nuclear strike potential of American, said the commander of the Russian Air Force Alexander Zelin, the same who spoke earlier of the threat to his nation by U.S. strikes from space, "Russian Air Force are preparing on the threats the creation of the Global Strike Command for the U.S. Air Force before "and Russia was developing" systems to the threats that might arise, to address appropriately " (Rick Rozoff,
Showdon with Russia and China. U.S. Advances First Strike Global Missile Shield System , Global Research, 19.08.2009). was
since the Cuban missile crisis the world is not so close to the precipice by a third world war scenario, a global military conflict with the use of nuclear weapons.
first The so-called missile defense shield, the Star Wars initiative, which includes the first strike with nuclear weapons is now being developed at the global level in various regions of the world. The missile shield is largely directed against Russia, China, Iran and North Korea.
second The new U.S. military bases were established with a view to the creation of U.S. spheres of influence in every region of the world and surround and confront Russia and China.
third There was an escalation in the Central Asian War. The "defense budget" under Obama jumped in with redeployments to Afghanistan and Iraq.
4th Under orders from President Obama, acting as Commander in Chief, Pakistan is now the target of routine U.S. air strikes on the pretext of the "global war on terrorism" which constitutes a violation of the territorial sovereignty of Pakistan.
5th The construction of a new military base in Latin America, Colombia, near the border with Venezuela, is provided.
6th The military aid to Israel has increased. Under the presidency of Obama was made clear that Israel and the Israeli military are fully supported. Obama also has to the horrors of war silent, committed by Israel in Gaza. There was not even an appearance of renewed Israeli-Palestinian negotiations.
7th There was a reinforcement of the new regional military command, AFRICOM and SOUTHCOM held here under.
8th A new round of threats were directed against Iran.
9th The United States intends to further divisions between Pakistan and India to contract, which could lead to a regional war and to take advantage of India's nuclear arsenal as an indirect means of threat from China.
The diabolical nature of this military project was outlined in 2000 by the Project for a New American Century (PNAC). PNAC called the following goals:
- - Defending the American homeland;
- - battles and decisive victories of multiple, simultaneously-run major theaters of war;
- - implementation of police duties in connection with the creation of a security environment in key regions;
- - transformation of U.S. forces to exploit the "revolution in military affairs"; (Project for a New Amcerican Century, Rebuilding Americas Defenses.pdf , September 2000)
The "revolution in military affairs" refers to the development of new advanced weapons systems . The militarization of space, new advanced chemical and biological weapons, sophisticated laser-guided missiles, bunker buster bombs, not to mention the U.S. Air Force air-warfare program (HAARP) based in Gokona, Alaska, parts of Obama's "humanitarian Arsenal ".
war against the truth This is a war against the truth. If the war to peace, the world is upside down. The conceptualization is no longer possible. An inquisitorial social system is emerging.
The understanding of fundamental social and political events is replaced by a World of pure imagination, where ambush "bad guys". The goal of the "global war on terrorism" - which is fully supported by the Obama administration - it was to win public support for a global campaign against heresy.
is in the public mind the belief in a "just cause" for war central. It is said that a war is just when he is out because of moral, religious or ethical reasons. The consensus is to wage war. People can not think for yourself. They accept the authority and wisdom of an existing social order.
The Nobel Committee says that Obama has given the world hope for a better future. " The award ceremony for Obama justified by
"extraordinary efforts of international diplomacy and to strengthen cooperation among people. The committee has given the Obama's vision and work for a world without nuclear weapons, special attention ...
His diplomacy is based on the concept that those that make the world must do so on the basis of values and attitudes, which the majority the world's population are divided. " (
Nobel Press Release, 09.10.2009 ).
The awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to President Barack Obama has become an integral part of the propaganda machine of the Pentagon. It supplied the invaders with a human face and holds up the demonization of those who are against U.S. military intervention.
Obama's decision was to award the Nobel Peace Prize, no doubt carefully negotiated with the Norwegian Committee at the highest levels of the U.S. government. It has far-reaching effects.
a result of the war led by the United States is clearly held up as a "just cause". The ceremony will delete the war crimes of Bush and the Obama-government.
War Propaganda: The right to war (jus ad bellum)
The theory of "just war" is to the nature of U.S. foreign policy disguise, giving the invaders a human face.
in both - the classic and contemporary - History is held up the theory of "just war" as a "humanitarian operation". The just war requires military intervention on ethical and moral grounds against "insurgents", "terrorists," "fallen" or "rogue states".
The Nobel Committee has proclaimed the just war as an instrument of peace. Obama embodies the "just war".
in U.S. military academies is the modern version of "just war" as part of U.S. military doctrine taught. The "war on terrorism" and the remark that this "preventive" is to be claimed as a right to "self defense". To define when it is allowed "to wage war": the right to war.
The law of war has served to consensus within the structures of the armed forces to create. It served also to convince the troops that for a "just cause" . Fight In general we can say that the theory of just war in its modern version as an integral part of war propaganda and disinformation, and media is used to win public support for a war agenda. Under Obama, as the Nobel Peace Prize just war is universally recognized and upheld by the so-called international community.
The final goal is to overwhelm the public and social life in America to completely depoliticize to protect the people in front of thinking and conceptualizing, and before the analysis of facts, which is a threat to the legitimacy of the U.S. is NATO led war.
War is peace, a worthwhile "humanitarian effort". Peaceful resistance is heresy.
military escalation with a human face. The Nobel committee gives green light Even more significant is that the Nobel Peace Prize an unprecedented level not previously the "escalation" of US-NATO led military operations under the flag of the Peace Foundation grants legitimacy.
It is a contribution to the distortion of the nature of the US-NATO military agenda.
are about between 40,000 and 60,000 additional U.S. troops and allied forces sent to Afghanistan before under the banner of Peace Foundation be. On 08.10.2009, a day before the decision of the Nobel Prize Committee awarded the U.S. Congress Obama a 680 billion Defense Authorization Act, which serves the process of military escalation finance:
"Washington and its NATO allies are planning an unprecedented troop increase in Afghanistan and in addition to 17,000 new American troops and several thousand NATO forces, which were previously being considered this year for local use as reinforcement. The number, which, according to still not been confirmed reports on claims of U.S. and NATO Commander Stanley McChrystal and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Michael Mullen is based ranks, 10000-45000.
Fox News has called the figures, which amount up to 45,000 more American soldiers and ABC News called up to 40,000. On 15.09.2009, the magazine said Christian Science Monitor "perhaps up to 45,000. The similarities of the estimates suggest that the number - in what has been agreed by the obedient media in America - the native population is to prepare for the possibility of the biggest escalation of foreign troops in Afghanistan's history. Seven years ago, the United States had only 5,000 soldiers in the Country, but now they are planning to have 68 000 troops on the ground until December 2009, and this was before the emergence of new reports on the redeployment. " (Rick Rozoff, U.S., NATO
Poised For Most Massive War In Afghanistan's History name, Global Research, 24.09.2009)
Within hours of the decision of the Norwegian Nobel Prize Committee, Obama met with the council, or should we "Peace Council". It has been carefully planned that this meeting coincided with that of the Norwegian Nobel Prize Committee .
attended the key meeting behind closed doors in the briefing room of the White House and Vice President Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, Defense Secretary Robert Gates and other important political and military advisers in part. Gen. Stanley McChrystal was using video switching from Kabul in the meeting.
It is said that General McChrystal, the Commander in Chief "various alternative options," including a maximum surge of 60,000 additional troops "have offered. The number of 60,000 soldiers has been cited by a source in the Wall Street Journal. (AFP: After

"The president had a serious conversation about the Security and political challenges in Afghanistan and the options with the development of a strategic approach can be taken forward " such a government official. (AFP: After
Nobel nod, Obama was convener Afghan council , 09.10.2009).
The Nobel Committee has given to Obama in a sense, go ahead. The meeting was on 09.10.2009 in the meeting room of the White House to create the basis for a further escalation of the conflict under the banner of Aufständigenbekämpfung and democracy-building.
Meanwhile, within the last few months, have U.S. forces on their air raids in rural communities the northern tribal regions, under the banner of the fight against Al Qaeda expanded.
