Career
Jimmy Carter put solar panels on the roof of the White House, which were removed by Ronald Reagan. Carter's re-election was by hindered by the October surprise conspiracy, a secret deal with Iranian hostage takers to give them weapons in order to prevent the release of the US embassy hostages before the 1980 US presidential election. In the event, the hostages were released hours after Reagan was inaugurated, but the official narrative still denies that this deal happened.
President Carter rarely used the word "terrorism", and when he did, it was mostly about the hostage taking of the US embassy staff in Tehran.[1]
CIA Purge
Jimmy Carter sacked a lot of the top leadership of the CIA.[2]
Later Activities
On July 17th, 2013, Carter opined bluntly: "America does not at the moment have a functioning democracy."[2]
Quotes by Jimmy Carter
| Page | Quote | Date |
|---|---|---|
| Drone | “We don't know how many hundreds of innocent civilians have been killed in these attacks ... This would have been unthinkable in previous times” | 2012 |
| Psychic | “I became more aware of what our intelligence services were doing. There was only one instance that I'll talk about now. We had a plane go down in the Central African Republic—a twinengine plane, small plane. And we couldn't find it. And so we oriented satellites that were going around the earth every ninety minutes to fly over that spot where we thought it might be and take photographs. We couldn't find it. So the director of the CIA came and told me that he had contacted a woman in California that claimed to have supernatural capabilities. And she went in a trance, and she wrote down latitudes and longitudes, and we sent our satellite over that latitude and longitude, and there was the plane.” | 2005 |

| Document:Maggie's Guilty Secret | article | December 2013 | John Hughes-Wilson | A brief resume of the Arms-to-Iraq affair by a former colonel on NATO's international political staff in Brussels. It revisits the abortive rescue of US diplomatic staff held hostage by Iran under President Carter, paving the way for the UK to supply arms to both sides in the soon-to-follow Iran-Iraq war in covert defiance of UN sanctions. The UK establishment has been engaged in a monumental cover-up ever since. |
