Unni Turrettini: Betraying the Nobel: Secrets, Corruption, and the World’s Most Prestigious Prize (#087)

Betraying the Nobel: Secrets, Corruption, and the World’s Most
Prestigious Prize! This was a fascinating interview for me to
conduct, with a ‘sister-in-arms” who is rallying the world to
restore Alfred Nobel’s lofty vision for the Peace Prize. Unni wrote
The Mystery of the Lone Wolf Killer and comes back with a powerful
shot across the bow of the Nobel Peace Prize: BETRAYING THE NOBEL!
I was honored to write a blurb for the book, saying “The Nobel
Peace Prize is perhaps the most closely held monopoly of its kind,
charged by Alfred to be the ‘conscience of the world.’ Yet
Turrettini’s impeccably researched, masterfully argued case against
the prize is airtight: the prize teems with invidious corruption,
politicization, secrecy, opacity, and unaccountability. Hope
endures that the award may someday live up to Nobel’s alturistic
aspirations—but only if the Peace Prize Committee hearkens to
Turrettini’s clarion call for reform.” In our interview you’ll
learn: Why Alfred Nobel might not object to Donald Trump winning
the Peace Prize The worst Nobel Peace Prize winner in history… What
can be done to restore Alfred’s noble vision? 00:00 INTRODUCTION
03:03 DONALD TRUMP? 15:15 WHY SWEDEN? 30:30 WHO WAS THE WORST
CHOICE FOR THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE? 40:00 HOW CAN THE NOBEL PEACE
PRIZE BE REFORMED? Unni and I are in complete resonance when it
comes to the tarnish on the Nobel. The peace prize is as distorted
from Alfred’s original intentions as are the science prizes. It’s
mesmerizing to watch Unni mix an attorney’s keen analytical
mentality with a journalist’s powerful observation skill to
illuminate the flaws with the Peace Prize. All along she mixes in
humor and even Alfred’s love-life, which had been more mysterious
to me than why the committee keeps nominations sealed for a
half-century… Visit her website: https://unniturrettini.com Watch
