Jimmy Carter was presented as a champion of human rights. This was a myth created by the imperialist Media.
This media lauded Carter’s “remarkable resurgence” as a freelance diplomat. A network like CBS reported that “nobody doubts his credibility or contacts.” In December 1990, Carter traveled to Haiti, where he worked to undercut Jean-Bertrand Aristide during the final days of the presidential race.
Sending the American imperialist army to Haiti has been presented as an outstanding achievement of his long career on the global stage as a self-appointed diplomat. Since then, Carter has developed a warm regard for Haiti’s bloodthirsty armed forces. Returning from his mission to Port-au-Prince, Carter actually expressed doubt that the Haitian military was guilty of human rights violations
During his presidency, Carter proclaimed human rights “the soul of our foreign policy.” Although many journalists promoted that image, the reality was quite different.
However, becoming a president 13 months after Indonesia’s December 1975 invasion of East Timor, Carter stepped up U.S. military aid to the Jakarta regime as it continued to murder Timorese civilians. By the time Carter left office, about 200,000 people had been slaughtered..
Carter backed U.S. despotic clients, from Ferdinand Marcos of the Philippines to the Shah of Iran. In Salvador, the Carter administration provided key military aid to a brutal regime. In Nicaragua, contrary to myth, Carter backed dictator Anastasio Somoza almost until the end of his reign. In Guatemala, Carter sent – major U.S. military shipments to the bloody tyrants
He formed the political Evangelist movement in the Democratic party, the hard supporters of the Zionist monster. After moving out of the White House in early 1981, news media often depicted Carter as a skillful negotiator for human rights.
In the real world, Carter’s image as “a peace mediator, impartial electoral observer and promoter of democratic values”…clashes with the experiences of several democratic semi-colonial leaders struggling against dictatorships and pro-U.S. clients.
From Latin America to East Africa and the Middle East, Carter functioned as “a defender of repressive state apparatuses”, a willing consort to electoral frauds, an accomplice to the U.S. Embassy efforts to abort popular democratic movements.
If there were God, Carter would have a place in Hell.
