FINAL WARNING: Ready to Spring the Trap
Carter said: “I’ve looked on a lot of women with lust. I’ve committed
adultery in my heart many times.” When he found out that California
Governor Jerry Brown was throwing his hat in the ring for a run at the
presidency, a supporter said that Carter “used expletives which I didn’t
know he knew.” In the 1980 campaign, Massachusetts Senator Ted
Kennedy accused Carter of not being more specific on the issues, to
which Carter responded: “I don’t have to kiss his ass.”During his acceptance speech, after winning the nomination at the
Democratic National Convention, Carter attacked the “unholy, self-

Rockefeller Foundation) as Secretary of State and Zbigniew Brzezinski
as head of National Security, then I would say we have failed.” In an
interview with Playboy magazine, Jordan said he would quit if they
were appointed. They were– he didn’t.Brzezinski had become Carter’s biggest influence. Henry Kissinger
had called Brzezinski his “distinguished presumptive successor.” It
was Brzezinski who said: “The approaching two-hundredth
anniversary of the Declaration of Independence could justify the call
for a national constitutional convention to re-examine the nation’s
formal institutional framework. Either 1976 or 1989– the two-hundredth
anniversary of the Constitution– could serve as a suitable target date
culminating a national dialogue on the relevance of existing
arrangements...”When James Earl Carter took the oath of office, he said that the
