Translator’s Note: A “Stalin Peace Prize” was developed in the USSR post-1945 to counter the corruption inherent in the Scandinavian Nobel Prize – particularly in light of the fact that Sweden and Norway were occupied by Nazi Germany during WWII (with many thousands of Scandinavian men volunteering for Hitler’s “SS” Divisions that killed so many millions in the Soviet Union and elsewhere). Following Khrushchev’s betrayal of Stalin in 1956 – the Stalin Peace Prize was replaced with the “Lenin Peace Prize” – with those having previously won it demeaned as receiving an award from a working-class leader the capitalist West hated. Indeed, like Portugal, Sweden (although officially “neutral” doing WWII) surreptitiously supported Nazi Germany by supplying important raw materials (such as oil) to the Hitlerite war machine. Like Amnesty International, the Nobel Prize is nothing but an instrument of capitalist aggression and imperialist war. It a typically “inverted” manner – the Nobel Prize facilitates war between human groupings – whilst ridiculously claiming it is pursuing the exact opposite of its true intention. The Nobel Prize creates the conditions for bourgeois war whilst claiming the killing it is encouraging is the genuine bedrock of world-peace. If the Nobel Prize was an individual – he or she would be detained for severe mental health issues. Sweden and Norway have absolutely NOTHING to teach the world about “peace” and the very fact that the Nobel Prize has chosen to empower the most far-right President the US has ever elected – speak volumes!

“The incitement of @MariaCorinaYA to the largest US military deployment since the Iraq war makes her categorically ineligible”
Assange points out that the members of the Nobel Foundation have previously exercised their supervisory authority over the prizes and their disbursements by withholding the disbursements of the Literature Prize in 2018. “The lack of intervention here, despite the US war crimes off the Venezuelan coast and Machado’s key role in promoting aggression” incurs criminal liability.
“Alfred Nobel’s endowment for peace cannot be used for the promotion of war,” declares Assange.
The complaint points out how the Nobel announcement and ceremony have occurred in what military analysts describe as “the largest US military deployment in the Caribbean since the Cuban Missile Crisis” — now exceeding 15,000 troops, including the aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford. The military buildup is ongoing, as the president
The WikiLeaks founder alleges that the Nobel Peace Prize awarded to María Corina Machado constitutes misappropriation and facilitation of war crimes under Swedish law; he seeks to freeze 11 million Swedish kronor (US$1.18 million) of pending transfers to Machado
Julian Assange today filed a criminal complaint in Sweden accusing 30 individuals associated with the Nobel Foundation, including its leadership, of committing serious criminal offenses, including the crime of serious misappropriation of funds, facilitation of war crimes and crimes against humanity, and the financing of the crime of aggression.
The complaint shows that Alfred Nobel’s 1895 will explicitly mandates that the peace prize be awarded to the individual who during the preceding year “has conferred the greatest benefit on mankind” by doing “the greatest or best work for the fraternity among nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies, and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses”.
Assange argues that: “the political decision of the Norwegian selection committee does not suspend the fiduciary duty of the Swedish fund managers”. “Any disbursement that contradicts this mandate constitutes a misappropriation of the endowment”.
The complaint, filed simultaneously with the Swedish Economic Crime Authority (Ekobrottsmyndigheten) and the Swedish War Crimes Unit (Krigsbrottsenheten), alleges that the suspects, including the Nobel Foundation’s President, Astrid Söderbergh Widding, and its CEO, Hanna Stjärne, turned: “an instrument of peace into an instrument of war”.
This alleged “serious criminality” includes:
1) Serious misappropriation and conspiracy in relation to the pending disbursement of 11 million SEK (US$1.18 million) of the Peace Prize money to María Corina Machado, whose previous and ongoing actions categorically exclude her from the criteria set out in Alfred Nobel’s will;
2) Facilitation of war crimes, including the crime of aggression and crimes against humanity, violating Sweden’s obligations under Article 25(3)(c) of the Rome Statute, because the defendants are aware of Machado’s incitement and support of US international crimes, and knew or should have known that the disbursement of the Nobel money would contribute to extrajudicial executions of civilians and survivors of shipwrecks at sea, and are failing in their obligation to cease the disbursements.

ÚLTIMO MOMENTO
#JULIANASSANGE PRESENTA DENUNCIA PENAL CONTRA LA FUNDACIÓN NOBEL POR CONVERTIR EL PREMIO DE LA PAZ EN “INSTRUMENTO DE GUERRA”
“La incitación de @MariaCorinaYA al mayor despliegue militar de EEUU desde la guerra de Irak la hace categóricamente inelegible”
Assange señala que los miembros de la Fundación Nobel han ejercido previamente su autoridad de supervisión sobre los premios y sus desembolsos al retener los desembolsos del Premio de Literatura en 2018. “La falta de intervención aquí, a pesar de los crímenes de guerra de EE. UU. frente a la costa venezolana y el papel clave de Machado en promover la agresión” incurre en responsabilidad penal.
“La dotación de Alfred Nobel para la paz no puede usarse para la promoción de la guerra”. declara Assange.
La denuncia señala cómo el anuncio y la ceremonia del Nobel han ocurrido en lo que analistas militares describen como “el mayor despliegue militar de EE. UU. en el Caribe desde la Crisis de los Misiles en Cuba” —superando ahora los 15.000 efectivos, incluido el portaaviones USS Gerald R. Ford. La concentración militar sigue en curso, ya que el presidente
El fundador de WikiLeaks alega que el premio Nobel de la Paz otorgado a María Corina Machado constituye apropiación indebida y facilitación de crímenes de guerra bajo la ley sueca; busca congelar 11 millones de coronas suecas (1,18 millones de USD) de transferencias pendientes a Machado
Julian Assange presentó hoy una denuncia penal en Suecia acusando a 30 individuos asociados con la Fundación Nobel, incluyendo su liderazgo, de cometer presuntos delitos graves, incluyendo el delito de apropiación indebida grave de fondos, facilitación de crímenes de guerra y crímenes de lesa humanidad, y el financiamiento del crimen de agresión.
La denuncia muestra que el testamento de Alfred Nobel de 1895 manda explícitamente que el premio de la paz se otorgue al individuo que durante el año anterior “haya conferido el mayor beneficio a la humanidad” haciendo “la mayor o mejor obra por la fraternidad entre las naciones, por la abolición o reducción de los ejércitos permanentes y por la celebración y promoción de congresos de paz”.
Assange argumenta que: “la decisión política del comité de selección noruego no suspende el deber fiduciario de los administradores de fondos suecos”. “Cualquier desembolso que contradiga este mandato constituye una apropiación indebida de la dotación”.
La denuncia, presentada simultáneamente ante la Autoridad de Delitos Económicos de Suecia (Ekobrottsmyndigheten) y la Unidad de Crímenes de Guerra de Suecia (Krigsbrottsenheten), afirma que los sospechosos, incluidas la presidenta de la Fundación Nobel, Astrid Söderbergh Widding, y la directora ejecutiva, Hanna Stjärne, convirtieron: “un instrumento de paz en un instrumento de guerra”.
Esta presunta “criminalidad grave” incluye:
1) Apropiación indebida grave y conspiración en relación con el desembolso pendiente de 11 millones de SEK (1,18 millones de USD) del dinero del Premio de la Paz a María Corina Machado, cuyas acciones previas y en curso la excluyen categóricamente de los criterios establecidos en el testamento de Alfred Nobel;
2) Facilitación de crímenes de guerra, incluido el crimen de agresión y crímenes de lesa humanidad, violando las obligaciones de Suecia bajo el Artículo 25(3)(c) del Estatuto de Roma, porque los acusados son conscientes de la incitación y respaldo de Machado a la comisión de crímenes internacionales por parte de EE. UU., y sabían o deberían haber sabido que el desembolso del dinero del Nobel contribuiría a ejecuciones extrajudiciales de civiles y supervivientes de naufragios en el mar, y están incumpliendo su obligación de cesar los desembolsos.
