Logo Annual Awards awarded by stallinga.org


These are the awards attributed by stallinga.org (Note, stallinga.org has never been awarded anything and will not accept any reward from anybody; don't bother). Also we suspect the receivers of these awards couldn't care less about these rewards. Well, stallinga.org doesn't care if they care or not.
The awards are attributed somewhere in the beginning of the year and are somewhat about the past year, ideally the last calendar year, but not necessarily. And not all awards have to be attributed each year.

Person
Prighozin
For having single-handedly decided the outcome of the conflict in Ukraine (esp. the battle in Artyomovsk [f.k.a. Bakhmut]). Having staged a (pseudo)coup and being assassinated. This was really the most remarkable person of 2023.

Ayn Rand
Atlas Shrugged
No book portrays the inherent failings of collectivism (communism) so brilliantly as this book by Ayn Rand. If you have not read it, you missed out. It is the all time classic of society and economy. Everybody needs to read it, to stop us from continuing the erroneous path we are on in the world.

Netanyahu
Claiming to be a victim while carpet bombing and genociding his enemy!
Linked: Israeli newspaper Haaretz: "Netanyahu, Alone, Is the Source of Evil". (I cannot read the full document, but I go for the title. Netanyahu is a classical psychopath, as described by Andrzej Lobaczewski in his must-read book "Political Ponerology").
This decision was difficult. So many contenders this year. Like
- The regime in Washington. "Saving democracy" by removing unwanted opposition from the ballots.
- Donald Tusk: to "remove state inference in the media", removing media leaders and replace them with state puppets.
What tipped the balance in Netanyahu's favor is that this conflict will have severe implications (more than the sock-puppets in Washington) and moreover, 'chutzpah' is a Yiddish word, giving it an ironic character.

Netanyahu, alone, is the source of evil

Sudden Death
Suddenly a lot of people are collapsing. It seems the new pandemic. A mysterious illness that makes healthy people suddenly drop dead. We suspect it is caused by the vaccine, but we cannot say that, for the risk of winding up in a gulag for blasphemy and criticizing the government.

Journalism
James Corbett
For his entire oeuvre The Corbett Report. If you have never seen it, you're missing out. It is probably the best place of journalism in the world. Reporting from Japan, it is not the news-type journalism, but in-depth case studies. Corbett raises having knowledge about a subject studied to an entire new level. Well done, Mr. Corbett, and thank you for all the reports. It is much needed and highly appreciated.
If you have not seen his classics like "How Big Oil Conquered the World", or "Why Big Oil Conquered the World", consider yourself ill-informed about the world! There, I said it.

Novak Djokovic Not only being the number one tennis player of the year, off court he is also the greatest. Standing up against the vaccine-terror (no-vac Djokovic) and the only one publicly taking a stand against the Chinese regime in the Peng Shuai sexual assault case.

Novak standing up against the regime reminds us very much of Jesse Owens, standing up against the regime of Nazi Germany.

Yet, it has to be mentioned that Max Verstappen had the sports moment of the year, snatching the Formula One championship in the last lap of the last race:

Making fun of the (fake) photograph of the black hole. Data engineers used some 5 petabytes of signals to come up with a 'photo' (i.e., not a writing of photons), which for sure you have all seen in the news. Swart made this parody that summarizes it all:

The most important book you will ever read about your freedom, "The Most Dangerous Superstition" by Larken Rose. In it he meticulously dissects the concept of authority and government, hence the title; your superstition that government has a natural authority.

Diego Maradonna
There was no sports in 2020. But this legendary football player died. The award is not awarded for his Hand of God (goal against England in the mundial), but for his overall spirit and contribution to the sport. He lived football. To show you what is meant by this, watch this epic video of him passing the ball through the legs of one of those colorless bureaucrats in a typical sports arena corridor. He simply follows his instincts. Football, football, football:

Joe Biden
"Building back better". Joe Biden elected as new president of the U.S. His chutzpah is having voted for the impeachment of Donald Trump for allegedly using a quid pro quo in Ukraine, after he himself used a quid pro quo to get his son off the hook from criminal investigation in Ukraine.

Thierry Baudet
Having been victim of a libel campaign by the regime (using the oldest trick in the book, accuse your enemy of anti-semitism), Dutch politician Baudet came out vainglorious. In an emergency referendum he retook power of his party in a landslide vote of support for him and his policies. Now Baudet can build back better!

Actually has the audacity to say that the universe is not expanding and the red shift is caused by intergalactic plasma. Not commenting on whether it is true or not, the award goes to the audacity, something that is missing in our world of pseudoscience. The guy has to publish in ArXiv. That says enough

After the attack on Notre Dame in Paris he actually had the audacity to say that "this will unite us". That while what was attacked was the icon of Christianity. Christianity is what defines Europe (Europe=Christianity and Christianity=Europe is the idea since approximately the time the Notre Dame was built). A chutzpah because Donald Tusk and the European Union under his command are importing Muslims as fast as can, thus destroying that what unites us

Word
Virtue signalling
Most politicians, media, socialites, academics are busy in 'virtue signalling'. Showing each other how virtuous they are, one trying to outdo the other. For instance in Trump bashing, always saying what a terrible person he is. What factually is correct is irrelevant; it is about signaling to the others how good they are. They are the modern version of the Gutmensch. An example is trying to remove the "horrible regime of Assad", while by trying to do so they are the most horrific mass murderers ever having set foot on this planet
