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, assisted by his pick for Director of Central Intelligence, Stansfield Turner, sacked a lot of the top leadership of the CIA.[2][3]
Assassination attempt
Raymond Lee Harvey was arrested by the Secret Service after being found armed, ten minutes before Carter was to give a speech at the Civic Center Mall in Los Angeles on May 5, 1979.[4] Harvey had a history of mental illness, but police had to investigate his claim that he was part of a four-man operation to assassinate the president. He claimed to have been with one of the plotters that night, whom he knew as "Julio". This man was later identified as a 21-year-old illegal immigrant from Mexico, who gave the name Osvaldo Espinoza Ortiz. Charges against the pair were ultimately dismissed for a lack of evidence. Both are remembered for parts of their names together form Lee Harvey Oswald.
John Hinckley Jr. came close to shooting Carter during his re-election campaign, but he lost his nerve. He would later attempt to kill President Ronald Reagan in March 1981.
Later Activities
On July 17th, 2013, Carter opined bluntly: "America does not at the moment have a functioning democracy."[2]
Quotes by Jimmy Carter

| 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 |
