Irena Sendler (the true peace prize winner)

A bit of sad news has been reported. Irena Sendler a Peace prize nominee has died at the age of 98. Now who is Irena Sendler you ask? She was a social worker in Nazi occupied Poland who risked her life to save thousands of children from the brutal hand of the nazis and the SS. In 1943 she arrested and tortured for helping jews. She told her captors that she would rather die than reveal her network. She is a true hero and a person truly deserving of the peace prize. In 2007 she was nominated for the Nobel peace prize only to have spoiled brat Al Gore junior, whose only claim to fame is he's the son a US Senator and a Senator himself, through politics and the betrayal by the dishonorable Nobel commitee stole the prize from her. I was really angry when I heard that Al gore got the peace prize. What did he do to deserve it? What sacrifices did he make to win it? Whose lives ,at extreme risk to his own, did he save? Why is he, a spoiled brat son of a US Senator and a former senator himself more deserving of the Peace Prize than a 98 year old woman who risked torture and execution to save 2,500 jewish children from the Nazis? How much did Al Gore pay for the prize? What makes her sacrifice less important than an admitted one world socialist? Because of this injustice I say forget the nobel commitee and lets nominate her for a better prize, the Congressional Gold Medal, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, or better yet let name a carrier after her, because a USS Irena Sendler CVN-80 is far better than a corrupt Nobel Peace Prize.

Who is Irena Sendler??

Maybe you don't know her but back in World War II she witnessed the systematic elimination of the Jewish community and decided to take it upon herself to try and make a difference. During those years she would take Jewish children and smuggle them out of reach of the German Nazis by any means possible. Irena would put babies in the bottom of toolboxes and small children in sacks. She even trained her dog to bark harshly at the Nazi soldiers from the back of her vehicle so that they would be too afraid to search the inside. She would help the children get out of the Warsaw ghetto through churches, sewers and secret passage ways if they were older children that could not fit into the sacks, toolbox or coffins. Once they would reach safety Irena would supply the children with fake identities and identification and put them into orphanages.

When it was possible, Irena would obtain the real identities and locations of the children and their relatives and place them on thin tissue paper which she would later hide in a co-conspirators back yard. That jar would later be unearthed to reveal over 2,500 names of children that she had saved. Irena's story does not end there though, the dangers she must have faced seem like the action sequences straight out of a thriller movie, narrowly escaping danger. She did not, however, escape that danger that lingered so close to her every day that she helped those children. Irena was captured and tortured for her acts, the Nazis broke both of her arms and legs and demanded the locations of the children and the secret documents that she held in the jar in that backyard. She never gave up the information that they demanded and she was sentenced to death by firing squad. She never met that fate though because a guard was bribed for her freedom.

Irena's story is amazing and shows truly what it means to be a hero. Here is where it gets even darker though, she was passed up for a Nobel Peace Prize in 2007 against a man that made a movie that has since been debunked in various ways and comes with a warning prior to showing in schools in Europe that says the movie is not entirely factual. I am of course talking about Al Gore and his movie An Inconvenient Truth, a movie on "Global Warming". There are scientists on both sides of the debate when it comes to "Global Warming" but those on the opposing side are labeled "skeptics" and are, in a lot of cases, stripped of their grants when doing climate studies because they have gone against the grain. Even more sad is the fact that the people that oppose are labeled as "Under the payment from "Big Oil"". Those that come out against "Global Warming" must be paid off by the big companies or at least profiting from oil and other pollutants in our cultures! Yet, nobody talks about all the money that Al Gore has made off of his movie, the fact that his house consumes more energy per month than 20 houses would for a year, that he darts around in a private jet AND that he owns property on the beach where the ocean will supposedly "rise 20 feet". No one mentions that companies like GE profit off of the production of LED lights and these new technologies that save energy. Is there money to be made on the "skeptics" side? Sure. Can you deny though that money is made in even more abundance on the "scare-mongerers" side? No. Makes you wonder if the "green" movement is more about the environment or the money if you ask me.

This blog post isn't about the pompous Al Gore though, it is in fact about Irena Sendler. I honestly did not know too much about the Nobel Peace Prize until I did a little bit of investigating. I thought to myself, how often is it given out? Surely at 97 years old it would be more beneficial to give Irena the respect she deserves while she is still alive than to a man that just literally brought together people with a claim and little done by himself (sorry, his powerpoint presentation and dramatic hydrolic lift for the rise in temperature was AMAZING!). Turns out that the Nobel Peace Prize is given every year. Also turns out that Irena wouldn't even get a chance at another nomination the following year (2008) cause she passed on on May 12, 2008. I am sure though that Al Gore has paid his respects by sending a bio-degradable coffin, thanks Al.

I quickly want to go a little bit deeper into what exactly the Nobel Peace Prize represents through it's wiki-definition:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nobel_peace_prize
"the Peace Prize should be awarded "to the person who shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses"....Interesting, so how does "Global Warming" really affect peace, better yet, how does Irena's situation NOT deal with peace. You would really have to read into what Al Gore did to find an explanation for the Peace Prize, maybe something like, "Well if the Earth heats up and everyone dies then there will be no peace at all. The rising temperatures would cause stress and new wars all over the world! I mean, haven't you been in someone's house in the summer that does not have air conditioning!?". I was about to read into Irena's situation and try to come up with an excuse why her circumstances DID NOT constitute peace but really I can't at all. During a time of Global war and the eradication of the Jews she saved thousands of lives and millions of lives through them that will continue to have a hold on reality long after her passing.
