Don't Deify Jimmy Carter

Jimmy Carter may have done good works out of office, but in power he fomented a series of domestic and foreign policy disasters.

This, That or the Other Carter

But Carter’s years as an ex-president should not mask his dogged service to the empire, penchant for fomenting disastrous proxy wars, betrayal of the Palestinians, embrace of punishing neoliberal policies and his subservience to big business when he was in office.

I've taken a lot of flak over the years for speaking about Carter in realistic terms. The likes of Noam Chomsky. Ralph Nader. There's a short list. Just yesterday actually in regards to a meme post of Chomsky in a facehack eco group. Intellectual discourse exposing hypocrisy is tough for many to swallow though. Chris brings up the never, if rarely, told Afghan case of the late 70s I've often attempt to educate people of. What you do hear a lot about is the failed mission that the right often use against him though. Ask yourself, why, though. With all the intellectual pieces properly in place, you might come to the conclusion, it helps to hide the essential question being held behind the curtain of illusions. The curtain made by the manufacturer---Divisive. A company within the corporation of Division. When you mention his fascistic correlations, his glorifiers can't handle facts which keep us divided.

{Carter fell under the disastrous influence of his Svengali-like national security adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski, a Polish exile, who rejected the Nixon-Kissinger reliance on détente with the Soviet Union. Brzezinski’s life’s mission, one that meant he saw the world in black and white, was to confront and destroy the Soviet Union along with any government or movement he deemed to be under communist influence or sympathetic to it.}

Not only was he a Polish exile, he has close ties to the Ukrainian fascist structure in the US and Canada. Brzezinski mentioned in an article of Moss Robeson where you can find within that he was a speaker at one of their events. As I have indicated before, if you want a detailed source of information of how influential Ukrainian fascism is on our congresses and judicial system, Robeson's Bandera Lobby Blog is the source to be following.

Chris goes on to list a number of highly questionable actions Carter was manipulated into.

{Carter had a decency most politicians lack, but his moral crusades, which came once he was out of power, seem like a form of penance. His record as president is bloody and dismal, although not as bloody and dismal as the presidents who followed. That’s the best we can say of him.}

My adage. Never sell out your personal ethics and moral compass. Beware those who will preach right from wrong, then lead you astray. Since coming to this site, I've been bewildered to the amount of those who turn away from organized religion seeing this negative aspect on our societies, but fail miserably in regards to the political and media arenas. Where on an analogical virtually we witness the very same deceptive chaotic state between good and evil. Where good is spoken, while evil lurks behind the curtain, evil ultimately underscores the reality. History be dammed.
