Nobel Peace Prize to South Africa!

FRED: Awarding the Peace Prize to South Africa could be part of a necessary settlement with the less peaceful role Norway has internationally – after, among other things, the attack on Libya.

25 years of NATO hubris

THE LAW OF THE PEOPLE: Russia's formal justification for carrying out its "special operation" against Ukraine is an exact mirror image of NATO's justification for bombing Yugoslavia in 1999 – despite established international law.

Gaza is America's new genocide

HEGEMONY: Will the genocide continue until the Palestinians are exterminated or forced into Egypt – or indeed until America's global hegemony is defeated? No true friend of Palestine should therefore support this hegemony's arms deliveries to Ukraine.

The lie at NTB, NRK and Dagsavisen

WAR PROPAGANDA: The statement "Russia has the right to rule over its neighbour", which is attributed to Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in an NTB article that was reproduced in several Norwegian media in April, is based on quote fraud. We see here 'war propaganda' in the Norwegian media.

Wars of aggression contrary to international law

HEGEMONY: The West's position revolves exclusively around self-interest, even if the rhetoric always tries to point to a general morality. Today there is no trace of morality or principled thinking in Western politics. And although Rødt and SV here in Norway condemn Israel's Gaza war, they at the same time support this Western hegemony which enables the ongoing genocide in practice.

The Western hegemony plans

ISRAEL/UKRAINA: Support for arms to Ukraine and support for Israel are connected. Everyone who in various ways supports the Western expansion plan with support for Ukraine in the ongoing war, in practice supports the Western hegemony plans, which enable Israel's genocide.

Why do we need a peace party in Norway?

FOR: The left-wing parties have put aside international work, the press is a microphone stand for NATO, the peace movement has become toothless – and Norwegians are a nation of cold warriors. Therefore a new party is needed!

Norwegian war crimes?

We reported Jens Stoltenberg and the most senior officials in the government for war crimes and complicity in crimes against humanity.

With the willing and servile oil country Norway in tow

EQUIPMENT: That the rest of the world, apart from the West, does not stand on the side of Norway, the USA and NATO when it comes to Ukraine today, is not surprising when we know the centuries of looting and colonial times, followed by imperialist wars and Western-backed coups. It is still "war and weapons that create peace" that is the narrative. Stop the race to a possible world war!
