EU shamelessly awarded Nobel Peace Prize

Ingsoc Norway, anno 2012

Having barely come down from the glaciers and the mountains, one feels transported to a landscape between Lund's «Compromateria» and Orwell's «1984» by downloading the news of the Peace Prize award to the European Union. Instinctively one pushes it aside, but it keeps coming back. The goat herd we walked into along the Emperor's Road appeared better trained in conflict studies than the Nobel Committee, one thinks, while reluctantly walking over into the nightbus to Oslo.

This is not about Jagland, or about the committee, but about a more gritty and grim slide into totalitarianism. It is, as by Lund, more the system itself that is talking to us here, and that «justifies» how it is «right» to honor the European Union for its immense «contribution to world peace». More than Jagland himself, and more than his committee, it is the system that spits out this «retrosymbiotic dada», while we powerless proles are deluded into riding Jagland and create all sorts of pranks about this overly serious award online.

It is a movement away from the natural, logical and fair, as part of a tremendously much larger macro motion in the same direction, and whose aim is to deprive any term of its meaning, as for the Ingsoc Dictionary, and to put the completely meaningless to the fore, which is sensed behind this scandalous awarding of the Peace Prize to the European Union. Norway is already in foreign hands, it seems to say, with Zapffe's famous Farewell.

And while one wonders what is the occupier's name or where he is, how he seized power in Norway, so to speak, it may fit just as well as anything with an Orwell quote about the skeptical Julia: «Once when he happened in some connection to mention the war against Eurasia, she startled him by saying casually that in her opinion the war was not happening. The rocket bombs which fell daily on London were probably fired by the Government of Oceania itself, 'just to keep people frightened'. This was an idea that had literally never occurred to him.»

News release (second version – 12:22 CET)
Nobel Peace Prize for 2015
“An encouragement to the Tunisian people” is fine, but Nobel had a much
greater perspective. Indisputable evidence shows that he intended his
prize to support a visionary reorganization of international affairs. The
language in his will is a clear confirmation of this, says Tomas Magnusson,
Sweden, on behalf of Nobel Peace Prize Watch. The committee continues
reading the expressions of the testament as they like, instead of studying
what type of “champions of peace” and what peace ideas Nobel had in
mind signing his will on Nov. 27, 1895. In February the Nobel Peace Prize
Watch lifted the secrecy around the selection process when it published a
list of 25 qualified candidates with the full nomination letters. Byt its
choice of Tunisia for 2015 has rejected the list and, again, is clearly
outside the circle of recipients Nobel had in mind.
In addition to not understanding the least bit of Nobel´s idea the
committee in Oslo has not understood the new situation in the
committee´s relation to its principals in Stockholm, continues Tomas
Magnusson. We must understand that the whole world today is under
occupation, even our brains have become militarized to a degree where it
is hard for people to imagine the alternative, demilitarized world that
Nobel wished his prize to promote as a mandatory urgency. Nobel was a
man of the world, able to transcend the national perspective and think of
what would be best for the world as a whole. We have plenty for
everyone´s needs on this green planet if the nations of the world could
only learn to co-operate and stop wasting precious resources on the
military.

63, 414 77 Göteborg, Sweden. The members of the Board of the Nobel Foundation risk personal liability if
a prize amount is paid over to the winner in violation of the purpose. As
late as three weeks ago seven members of the Foundation´s Board were
hit by initial steps in a lawsuit demanding that they repay to the
Foundation the prize paid to the EU in December 2012. Among the
plaintiffs are Mairead Maguire of Northern Ireland, a Nobel laureate; David
Swanson, USA; Jan Oberg, Sweden, and the Nobel Peace Prize Watch
(nobelwill.org). The lawsuit follows after a Norwegian attempt to regain the
ultimate control of the peace prize was finally turned down by the Swedish
Chamber Court in May 2014.
