The U.N.’s World Food Program wins Nobel Peace Prize
The Associated Press ^ | October 9, 2020

OSLO, Norway - The United Nations’ World Food Program on Friday won the 2020 Nobel Peace Prize for its efforts to combat hunger and food insecurity around the globe.

The organization provided assistance to almost 100 million people in 88 countries around the world last year.

“I think this is the first time in my life I’ve been without words,” WFP’s head David Beasley told The Associated Press from Niger. “I was just so shocked and surprised.”

Beasley said he found out about the award from a WFP media officer who had just been informed by the AP.

The Nobel Committee said that the coronavirus pandemic has added to the hunger faced by millions of people around the world, and called on governments to ensure that WFP and other aid organizations receive the financial support necessary to feed them.

“With this year’s award, the (Committee) wishes to turn the eyes of the world to the millions of people who suffer from or face the threat of hunger,” said Berit Reiss-Andersen, the chair of the Nobel Committee, announcing the award in Oslo. “The World Food Program plays a key role in multilateral cooperation in making food security an instrument of peace.”

“The World Food Program contributes daily to advancing the fraternity of nations mentioned in Alfred Nobel’s will,” she said.

Food has been used as a weapon of tyranny for centuries. What the blazes does a UN food program have to do with peace? I told you it would be stupid.

How many UN people got rich(er) administering this plan? Or participating in the supply chain?

We know for every $1,000 that went in, maybe $100 went to the supposed target population.

If it starts with UN, it is corrupt.

Period.

UNaccountable bureaucrats? In conjunction with Frankenstein scientists involved with food? What could go wrong? Watch what you eat and how it affects you...and your family, your health. Record the effects. Check your weight. We are the world.

Grow and consume your own when possible. Know the source of your food. CHYna? BIG Ag? Food & Drug Administration?

Globalists always give the prize to other globalists (unless there is a terrorist on the list to choose from).

Anyone who thought that Trump had even the slightest chance of winning was delusional.

I still don’t understand after all the billions/trillions? of money sent to the nations in Africa over decades why they can’t build self-sustaining economies and feed themselves. Yes, I know many countries are still tribal and have weak or totalitarian/tyrannical leaders, but Western world companies would be flooding them with investments if they could get their shit together. Yeah, there are a few African nations that work.
