Brzezinski, and the Trilateralists. Just to be on the safe side, they also brought in Minnesota
Senator Walter Mondale (a protege of Hubert Humphrey, whose eventual withdrawal from the
Presidential race guaranteed the Democratic nomination for Carter), and Rep. Elliot Richardson
(former U.S. Attorney General; Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare and Secretary of
Defense, and Under Secretary of State under Nixon; former Secretary of Commerce under Ford;
and former Ambassador to Great Britain) as possible candidates, and even considered Sen. Ted
Kennedy of Massachusetts.
Brzezinski said in an October, 1973 speech: “The Democratic candidate will have to
emphasize work, family, religion, and increasingly, patriotism, if he has any desire to be
elected.” Carter campaigned by stressing those very virtues, as he asked America to elect him, an
“outsider,” to clean up the mess in Washington.
In December, 1975, seven months before the Democratic National Convention, the Gallop
Poll indicated that only 4% of the country’s Democrats wanted Carter. Even the Atlantic
Constitution in his own state, ran a headline which said: “Jimmy Carter Running For What?”
Within six months, the nomination was his because of the most elaborate media campaign in
history. Carter was glorified as the new hope of America as the media misrepresented his record
as Governor in Georgia. This led former Georgia Governor Lester Maddox to say: “Based on
false, misleading and deceiving statements and actions ... Jimmy Carter in my opinion, neither
deserves or should expect one vote from the American people.” According to the Dektor
Psychological Stress Evaluator, a lie detector which measures voice stress with an oscillograph,
there was no stress in Carter’s voice when he lied, which would seem to indicate that he is a
pathological liar.
Even though Carter later resigned from the Commission, he was hardly an “outsider.” He
was supported by the Trilateral Commission, the Rockefellers, and Time magazine. Early
contributions came from Dean Rusk, C. Douglas Dillon, Henry Luce, and Cyrus Eaton. Leonard
Woodcock of the United Auto Workers Union, and Henry Ford II, both of whom are CFR
members, endorsed Carter on the same day. Carter’s two major foreign policy speeches during
the primary campaign were made to the Chicago Council on Foreign Relations and the Foreign
Policy Association. He used terms like “a just and peaceful world order,” and “a new
international order.” In another primary campaign speech, Carter talked about “world-order
politics.” A Los Angeles Times article in June, 1976, identified the advisors that helped Carter
prepare his first major speech on foreign policy: Zbigniew Brzezinski, Richard Cooper, Richard
Gardner, Henry Owen, Edwin O. Reischauer, Averill Harriman, Anthony Lake, Robert Bowie,
Milton Katz, Abram Chayes, George Ball, and Cyrus Vance; who were all members of the CFR
(and most were also members of the Trilateral Commission).
Carter’s religious convictions became a big part of his campaign, but things weren’t really
what they seemed. Carter claimed that his favorite theologian was Reinhold Niebuhr (a procommunist),
former professor at the Union Theological Seminary (which had been funded by the
Rockefellers), who founded the Americans for Democratic Action. He denied the virgin birth,
and the resurrection of Christ. Carter also admired Karl Barth (who said the Bible was “fallible,”
and filled with “historic and scientific blunders,” and “theological contradictions”), Paul Tillich,
and Soren Kierkegaad, all liberals who led the ‘God is Dead’ movement during the 1960’s.
Carter told his sister, evangelist Ruth Carter Stapleton, that he wouldn’t give up politics for
Christ. He admitted he wasn’t “born-again” until 1967, yet he joined a Southern Baptist Church
when he was 10, taught Sunday School at 16, and became a deacon in the church in his twenties.
In the infamous Playboy magazine interview, Carter said: “I’ve looked on a lot of women with
