This morning, at 5:00 a.m Eastern time, it was a privilege to listen to
Jorgen Frydnes, chair of the Norwegian Nobel Committee announce the
2025 Nobel Peace Price Winner.
MARIA CORINA MACHADO
VENEZUELA
As every aspect of democracy is under threat and attack in our own country,
every day, I would encourage everyone to listen to Mr. Frydnes' words,
foretelling in detail the future we will have if there are not those
among us, many and many more, who will stand up, come forth and
fight with courage no matter how difficult it may be, no matter how dangerous
it may be, no matter how long it takes.

He was speaking to each and every one of us ...

We all need to listen and stop this madness in our world. We have such madness over here in Scotland too :-( Thank goodness for cats, they make things right for me! :-D

A well-deserved win. xO
ReplyDeleteDarn, we missed it but I heard it was good.
ReplyDeleteJava Bean: "Ayyy, our Dada said he is sure that everyone who didn't get the Nobel Peace Prize will react to this announcement with poise and grace like the grownups they are ... And then he said something about pigs flying that I didn't quite catch."
ReplyDeleteThe state of so many things today has me gravely concerned.
ReplyDeleteI heard it and applauded the subtle message to one person in particular. Naturally he'll get all bent out of shape because he didn't win a prize he's been coveting since 2008. #douchebag
ReplyDeleteThe best news in many ways! Congratulations to Maria Corina Machado!
