Stop Praising Jimmy Carter
A Malevolent Murderer is Not a Good Man

Many people think James Earl Carter was a good, honest, simple, moral, godly man. He was none of those things. He was not good, and certainly not moral or even godly. Jimmy Carter was and is wicked and a malevolent murderer. Why so harsh? Read on and try hard to understand. Jimmy Carter was a US Navy nuclear engineer. He never saw battle, and he never participated in combat; yet, like so many of the US presidents, he was more than willing to sacrifice the lives of hundreds of thousands of foreigners and US servicemen for capitalism. Jimmy Carter was a rabid anti-communist and anti-socialist. Upon entering office he flatly stated he would “crush all socialist and communist sentiments in Latin America”. He repeated this phrase, or similar, multiple times throughout his presidency.
Prior to corrupting Latin America, Carter strongly supported the Shah in Iran. No matter the evil the Shah performed, Carter held tight to the on-going US and British attempts to control Iran. Iranians had freely elected a leader, a good man, with socialist sentiments. This was unacceptable to the British and the US. The CIA and British (non)intelligence were authorized to overthrow that democratically elected leader, which they did, and installed a dictator. In 1979, Carter’s last year in office, Iranians had enough and they took over the US embassy in Tehran and held hostages. The Shah fled to the US. Their demands were simple; 1) stop interfering with Iran politics and elections; and, 2) return the Shah, the dictator, to face the justice of the Iranian people. Of course the official US response was “we don’t negotiate with terrorists”. But the State Department was sure that the hostages could be released through discussions. Carter’s National Security Advisor, Zbignew Brzezinski, ran roughshod over that and Carter mobilized Operation Eagle Claw planned to be executed the following April. We were clearly in the wrong given the facts of history, but that doesn’t stop US presidents; and being wrong never stops the British. That mission was my first as a military scout. What remains hidden in classified documents and media suppressed information is freely available, and told in the field to the “team”. If you want to read about that mission, the book below has an entire chapter discussing it.
Throughout his presidency, Carter funneled money and weapons via Congress and CIA to right-wing death squads and death squad militaries of the immoral Salvadoran and Guatemalan regimes. The presidents always think they’re very clever, and they always lie. These regimes slaughtered men, women, and children; and I helped. From 1980 through 1981 I was a Tactical Air Command, Air Force Special Operations Command, and CIA & DoDIA asset in Latin America. Specific to this I planned and helped execute sabotage and destruction, many of these missions in El Salvador. Sometimes I worked alone, and sometimes I was alone on the ground utilizing AC-130 Spectre Gunships. In all, we alone killed over 5000 of the 75,000+ deaths, and somewhere between 300-500 are my guilt to carry.
In November and December 1979, Carter and his National Security Advisor were badgering the Vatican to stop Salvadoran Arch Bishop Oscar Romero from speaking against the US involvement with, and support for, the death squad military. These calls were recorded and have been leaked and released, both audio and transcripts. In the last of these calls, Brzezinski, in the presence of Jimmy Carter, threatened the Vatican saying “If you don’t shut him up, we will!” And the mobilization of the plan started rolling. Many people like to think Reagan ordered this plan, but that’s just not so. Carter ordered this assassination before leaving office, just like the attempted hostage rescue. Romero had been writing and speaking against the death squad military support, pleading with the US, and had written an open letter in the Salvadoran press pleading with Carter not to support the death squads and murders. The only reason the corruption existed was because of US support.
Carter refused to listen to what he had been committing. The CIA paid and trained assassins who shot Romero down while he performed a ceremony at a hospital with congregants. Carter’s rotten lie immediately following was criminal; having been the authorizer of that death. In his statement released the next day he acted like he had no clue how this happened. He “strongly” condemned the act and called it “shocking” and “unconscionable”. The fact that he could release such a bald face lie is your major clue to the provocateur, and places all his statements, just like every president, under the most serious suspicion.
To understand the malevolent man he was/is, let the previous inform you as you consider his reaction to the stabbing of Salman Rushdie not long ago. Again, he condemned the act, but in his age he betrayed his real thoughts. Carter blamed Rushdie for his own stabbing, that Rushdie had no right to mock or make fun of religion; and this from a man who has Constitutional protections for speech and press.
What made me write about this? My FB feed has many religious types and neo-cons and neo-liberals. I get these Carter-the-Great memes sporadically, but today there was a person who sent out ten of them, and I broke. Jimmy Carter is not a good, decent, moral, or godly man; Jimmy Carter is a vicious man who has no empathy. He didn’t build houses to help anything but his image. If he were truly sorry for what he had done, I could work with that; but that requires admitting wrong and repentance. So quit making me sick with your praises for a man who doesn’t deserve it; and who certainly fails the Commandments which he preaches – “Thou shalt not kill!”

Rubicon spent just under three years as a military Scout. During that time he was awarded the “AF Cross, 2 Silver Stars, 4 Bronze Stars, Defense Superior Service Medal, AF Good Conduct Medal, and the CIA Distinguished Service Medal” (ODNI). When he refused to kill further, he was stripped of these awards and was abandoned with his PTSD by the military and thrown away.
