No, Machado can't "share" her Nobel Peace Prize with Trump

The Nobel Committee is 100% clear. It's hers alone and NOT hers to share.

Here’s the statement from the Nobel Committee, from https://www.nobelpeaceprize.org/press/press-releases/a-nobel-prize-cannot-be-revoked-shared-or-transferred

According to the Statutes of the Nobel Foundation, § 10, “No appeals may be made against the decision of a prize-awarding body with regard to the award of a prize” …

A Nobel Prize can neither be revoked, shared, nor transferred to others. Once the announcement has been made, the decision stands for all time.

If they’d had a way to revoke the Peace Prize given to Aung San Suu Kyi, they might have done it, and they did not, despite requests.

María Corina Machado Parisca, one of a very, very few Venezuelans brave enough to stand up both to Hugo Chavez and to Nicolás Maduro, was, for me, a wonderful choice for the Nobel Peace Prize—for about five minutes.

Her fawning praise of Donald Trump, whom she thanked in accepting the prize, was bad enough. Then things became even clearer: She was treated to an ExFil by the United States, and on the boat away from the coast, she was on the horn begging the U.S. Navy not to blow her ship out of the water. She didn’t care that the U.S. was shooting. She just didn’t want the Americans shooting HER.

It cannot possibly be clearer that the U.S. is not at all interested in containing drugs and that its war on Venezuela is about seizing the country for its oil and rare earth metals.

Machado doesn’t care if her country is being invaded by a greedy tyrant. She was gullible enough to believe that, once Maduro was gone, the United States would GIVE VENEZUELA TO HER TO RULE.

Machado didn’t run against Maduro in the last election. Maduro was defeated by Edmundo Gonzalez.

If the United States gives Venezuela to anybody, it should be Edmundo Gonzalez, who clearly won the last presidential election, which Maduro stole.

María Corina Machado has never won a presidential election in Venezuela (she ran in 2010 and lost), but Edmundo Gonzalez did beat Nicolás Maduro and should be president now. See https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/us-recognizes-maduros-opponent-winner-venezuela-election-2024-08-02/

Gonzalez was forced into hiding and left Venezuela. Machado went into hiding inside the country—but it’s not hers to rule. It’s not Trump’s, either, but since he’s just kidnapped Venezuela’s worst criminal and jailed him in New York, that’s maybe a moot point.

And maybe not: Maduro should be on trial at the ICC at The Hague for torture, mass murder and human rights violations—not on trial in a foreign country whose president kidnapped him and stole his country for OIL MONEY.

It’s Machado just foolish?

No, Machado is corrupt.

She is willing to fawn over the fox that is currently abusing his way through the hen house, having gleefully opened the door for him. Machado has been in contact with Trump for months and months. She has known about U.S. plans. And now she thinks this corrupt president, who is just as bad as the fake president Maduro, will hand her what she wants.

This is a very, very brave woman. And it’s also a very, very ambitious woman who is not so much on her country’s side as her own.

And just as Machado believes she can give away a Peace Prize that belongs forever to the Nobel Committee to a corrupt U.S. president, she thinks she can give away her country and become a corrupt Venezuelan president who was never elected by the Venezuelan people.

Venezuela should be administered by the United Nations until fair elections can be held. And María Corina Machado should be arrested when she returns to Venezuela for pretending to represent Venezuelans with the United States when she has not been elected to do so or appointed by a legitimate government to do so.

She will, I fear, learn this lesson the hard way:

No one can buy the freedom of a nation by selling it to corrupt regime in an exchange for being elevated oneself.

Machado is about to make the mistake the Danes and the Greenlanders are too smart to make. She’s about to believe what Saruman believed. But Gandalf knew the truth:

Sauron does not share power.
