Felon finally gets his Nobel Peace Prize!
Posted by Pikes Peak 14115 Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado said Friday she was "absolutely grateful" to President Donald Trump after meeting with him Thursday and presenting him with her Nobel Peace Prize medal. The president called it a "wonderful gesture of mutual respect." "María presented me with her Nobel Peace Prize for the work I have done," Trump wrote on his social media platform. He also said that Machado was a "wonderful woman who has been through so much" and that it was a great honor to meet her. Machado, in turn, said Friday it "took a lot of courage" for Trump to take action against Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro. Following the Thursday meeting, a White House official confirmed to ABC News that Trump did accept the medal. An honorable man would have graciously refused. FOLLOW UP STORY Norwegian lawmakers reacted with shock and dismay over Venezuela opposition leader María Corina Machado's decision to present U.S. President Donald Trump with her Nobel Peace Prize medal. "It's completely unheard of," Janne Haaland Matlary, a professor of international politics at the University of Oslo and former state secretary in the foreign affairs ministry, told public broadcaster NRK on Friday. She called Machado's gesture "disrespectful" and "pathetic," saying it undermined the value of the prize, which the Norwegian Nobel Committee awards annually. Raymond Johansen, a Norwegian lawmaker for the center-left Labour Party and former governing mayor of Oslo, said in a Facebook post it was "incredibly embarrassing and damaging to one of the world's most respected and important prizes," according to a Google translation. Machado, who met Trump at the White House for the first time on Thursday, said the gift to the U.S. president was a "profound expression of gratitude for the invaluable support of President Trump and the United States to the Venezuelan people." It comes after a U.S. military operation seized Venezuela's president, Nicolás Maduro, on Jan. 3. The U.S. president thanked Machado on social media, describing it as a "wonderful gesture of mutual respect." The White House later posted a photo of Trump and Machado, with the U.S. president holding up a large, gold-colored frame displaying the medal. The Norwegian Nobel Committee and the Norwegian Nobel Institute had previously said: "The facts are clear and well established. Once a Nobel Prize is announced, it cannot be revoked, shared, or transferred to others. The decision is final and stands for all time." "Whoever has received the prize has received the prize," Trygve Slagsvold Vedum, leader of Norway's Centre Party, told NRK. "The fact that Trump accepts the medal says something about him as a type: a classic scapegoat who will adorn himself with other people's awards and work," he added. The White House was not immediately available to comment when contacted by CNBC on Friday. Trump has frequently spoken about his desire to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. The White House responded to the Nobel Committee's decision to award Machado the medal in October last year by saying they had "proved they place politics over peace." Some Norwegian lawmakers appeared happy to brush off Machado's gesture, however, saying it should not be seen as an indication of who the award rightfully belongs to. Dag-Inge Ulstein, leader of Norway's center-right Christian Democratic Party, told NRK that there is "no doubt" that the Nobel Peace Prize still belongs to Machado. Ine Eriksen Søreide, Norway's former defense minister and a member of the center-right Conservative Party, agreed with Ulstein. "Even though Trump has now received the medal, it does not mean that he has received the Peace Prize," Søreide said.

Posted by Pikes Peak 14115 Introduction: A Survivor’s Testimony 1. A Two-Tiered System: How Illicit Parties Masked Unspeakable Horrors The first tier was a larger, initial party where what the survivor calls “mildly illegal” activities would take place. This event was attended by numerous powerful people, creating a veneer of a standard, albeit decadent, gathering. As the event continued over several days, the crowd would thin out. In the final day or two, it would shrink to a “smaller inner circle,” and it was here, under the cover of the larger party, that “the really horrible shit happened,” including the torture and murder of victims. This was not merely a party; it was a meticulously engineered ecosystem of complicity, designed to ensnare influential figures in lesser crimes to ensure their silence about the atrocities committed by the inner circle. The presence of high-profile individuals created a list of potential witnesses who could be blackmailed, ensuring that the ring’s darkest secrets remained protected by a web of compromised power. “I think to some degree the people that that were were waiting there to the end of the party, I mean, they’re using all of those other big names and stuff that may have done things that they’re not proud of as cover.” 2. A New Hierarchy: Epstein Allegedly Worked for Trump and a Cabal of the Super-Rich In this alleged hierarchy, Epstein worked for Donald Trump and a cabal of “six or eight other super rich guys.” According to the survivor, Trump was not merely a client visiting the operation; he was in a position of authority above Epstein, actively helping to facilitate the entire enterprise. This account reframes the known power dynamics, suggesting that Epstein’s network may have been a service provider for a small, insulated circle of the ultra-wealthy who were the true architects of the operation. “It was almost as if Epstein worked for Trump... it wasn’t that Trump was a John visiting you know Epstein’s empire of of uh you know uh child victims. It was Trump was in a position above Epstein.” 3. The Calculated Cruelty: Victims With an “Expiration Date” According to the testimony, once the girls became cognizant that they “weren’t going to really ever rise above that”—that the promise of a better life was a cruel deception—they were considered to have “passed their expiration date.” At this point, they were a liability and were eliminated. This brutal logic manifested in a staggering death toll. During a period of just a couple of months at the brothel, the survivor witnessed five people killed, including an assisted suicide, an execution by a mobster meant to terrorize the group, and other murders. The result was a 100% mortality rate for the friends he made there: Samantha was tortured to death, Sarah died by assisted suicide, and Patricia was murdered at a party. “He said you’re good. Uh girls a dime a dozen. Boys are hard to find. Something like that.” 4. An Act of Defiance: The Attack on Trump and the Savage Retribution Believing he was going to be killed regardless, the survivor resolved to fight back. His internal monologue was one of pure defiance: “I’m gonna kill this some bitch if I can just if I can just get an opportunity... I had already decided they’re probably just going to kill me anyway. I’m going to take him with me.” When Donald Trump entered the room and began his assault, demanding the survivor have sex with him, the opportunity arose. The survivor describes using a wooden tent stake to impale Trump, causing a severe injury that required him to be airlifted from the property. The retribution for this act was swift and savage. He was taken to another party and systematically beaten by eight to ten different people. After that, he was taken to be assaulted by Andy Biggs, who beat him so badly he suffered “broken ribs and and was convulsing, turning blue.” The survivor recalls this brutal sequence as the “last of it,” after which his adoptive father said “no more”—not out of compassion, but due to the psychological toll “of watching me just get destroyed by people.” 5. A Chain of Failed Rescues: Ignored Police Reports and Institutional Inaction Four Police Reports: The survivor recalls at least four separate incidents where his parents tried to kill him, all of which generated police reports: being locked in a Chevy van in the Texas heat, being thrown into a pool, being thrown down a flight of stairs, and being left in a riptide. After the riptide incident, he remembers the local sheriff in Alabama explicitly warning his father, “you’re going to go to jail. I don’t care... I’ll make sure of it.” Yet, the abuse continued. A Murder Investigation: When neighbors heard screams from a duplex where a girl named Samantha was being tortured to death, they called the police. An investigation was launched, but it failed because investigators could not get permission from the survivor’s father to interrogate him as a child witness. The Military’s Discovery: Years later, between 2008 and 2009, while the survivor was serving in the Army, his commanding officers informed him that they had discovered films of his childhood abuse on another soldier’s computer. The military prosecuted the soldier for possession but conducted no further investigation into the production of the films or the abuse itself. This chain of events demonstrates a catastrophic, systemic failure to protect a child who was in clear and repeated danger. Conclusion: A Story That Cannot Be Ignored In the face of such testimony, what is the true meaning of justice, and what is our collective responsibility to demand it?
