Jimmy Carter: America has abandoned its leadership
Former President Jimmy Carter gave the commencement address Saturday at Liberty University.
He said the biggest challenge the world faces today is the human rights issue of the discrimination of women and girls.
Carter also talked about the growing disparity in wealth, the threat of nuclear war, deepening racial divisions in the US, the loss of confidence in public officials, the US abandoning its leadership in pursuit of a healthy environment and his wish for the US to be “strong enough so that we’d never have to prove that we are strong.”
Carter opened with a quip about President Donald Trump, the only time he named the president in his speech.
“This is a wonderful crowd. Jerry told me before we came here that it’s even bigger, I hate to say this, than it was last year. I don’t know if President Trump would admit that or not,” Carter said.
Carter said in 1999 he was asked to make speeches about what he believed the biggest challenge the world will face in the new millennium.
“I pointed out it was the great disparity in wealth between the richest people and those who still work for a living for their families. Since then, this disparity in wealth has gotten much greater, both within nations and also between nations,” Carter explained.
He said eight people, six of them American, control more wealth than half the world’s total population.
“Recently, I’ve changed my mind about the biggest challenge that the world faces,” Carter said. “I think now it’s a human rights problem and it is the discrimination of women and girls in the world.”
Carter talked about human trafficking, forced sexual labor and sexual assault in the US military.
“The last time we did a check on our military, it was found that there were 16,000 cases of sexual abuse every year in the US military,” Carter said, “probably one of the finest organizations on earth.”
The US has more people in prison than any other country and there are more than seven times as many Americans in prison now than when he was in the White House.
“More than any country on earth,” Carter emphasized.
He said racial divisions in our country are only getting deeper.
“And now we also know that the partisan divisions and the racial divisions in our country have never – are becoming deeper and deeper,” Carter said. “All our religions are all so divided.”
“More recently, the threat of nuclear war has become more acute,” Carter said. “America has abandoned its leadership, as you know, as a champion of a clean and healthy environment. Broad confidence in our public officials has gone down. And we citizens have tended to lose faith in ourselves and in each other.”
Carter talked about the loss of support and commitment to unwavering principles.
“We know that the United Nations has failed to bring peace and universal human rights have not been realized,” Carter said. “But we also know that the modern ability to travel rapidly and instant communication along with the wide use of social media have brought an enormous step big step towards a truly global society for the first time.”
Carter talked about the Civil War, slavery, struggle to grant women the right to vote.
“So far we Americans down through history have had a hard time of adjusting to this concept of equality,” he said. “More recently we have been struggling to end racial segregation. Even now some of us are still struggling to accept the fact that all people are equal in the eyes of God.”
Carter said there are attributes of a superpower that go beyond military strength.
“It’s the same as those of a person. Our nation should be known as a champion of peace. Our nation should be known as a champion of equality. Our nation should be known as a champion of human rights. We should also be admired for our generosity to other people in need and other moral values,” Carter said.

Well, it is good for prison guard employment–
After all, they would be in prison anyway.

“He said the biggest challenge the world faces today is the human rights issue of the discrimination of women and girls.”
Non-issue, certainly in the Northern hemisphere.
The real issues are climate change, energy transition, overpopulation, migration, nuclear war.
“Our nation should be known as a champion of peace. Our nation should be known as a champion of equality. Our nation should be known as a champion of human rights. We should also be admired for our generosity to other people in need and other moral values,” Carter said.”
How about simply minding your own business and leaving other countries alone. The old isolationalism of the original America First. Buchanan: “Republic, not Empire”. Nobody needs your “leadership”, certainly not Europe, Russia or China. Want to stop deepening racial divisions? How about a total moratorium on immigration?
“Since then, this disparity in wealth has gotten much greater, both within nations and also between nations,” Carter explained.”
Yep, can be solved with higher taxes, like in Europe.
“The US has more people in prison than any other country and there are more than seven times as many Americans in prison now than when he was in the White House.”
Carter is too pc to look at the color of crime. More reason to rigorously close the border for immigration from ******** countries.
“Even now some of us are still struggling to accept the fact that all people are equal in the eyes of God”
Oh, pulleeze.

Carter lost in 1980
and looks like he is still lost.
‘biggest problem is threat to women
and girls’.
phucking bullshit.
biggest problem is threat of the big
bad Hillary mommy bitch, threatening
all the adult white males.
this is the reason why we have Trump
in the white house.
HEY
SOLUTION to the school shooter problem.
They caught that Santa Fe phucker alive.
Go and get a sailboat anchor. Kinda like
this. https://images.jamestowndistributors.com/images/large/59325-1.jpg
Now take him to Florida.
Chain it to his ankle.
Throw him into the alligator reserves.
In the swamp. Ankle deep. Behind the
chain link.
See how long he lasts. Maybe 20 minutes.
BRING lots of photographers, with high
resolution cameras. With long telephoto
zoom lens, and fast frame rates.
To back it up and have slow motion close-up.
POST IT ALL onto Youtube. The 17 year old
schitbag getting eaten by alligators.
Will get 1.5 Million viral views.
Think there will be any more school shootings?
Nope! Don’t think so!
WE HAVE TRUMP in the white house.
HE can get this done.
Imagine if big bad Hillary mommy was in
the white house.
“The evil bad white men must be made to pay.
I am enacting a tax onto any men with
white skin, to make them pay for the crimes
of the school shooters”.
“The proceeds will go to the Hillary Clinton
foundation, to build shelters for the
homeless, and re-educate the school shooters
so that they can be productive members
of society”.
Bitch! That’s why she’s not in the white house. Too bad the wicked evil seizure
ridden bitch still has control over the FBI.
She uses the FBI to hassle Donald Trump.
Sore Loser Ugly Old Raisin-Bitch.
She renamed the FBI to HBI.
Hillary’s Bureau of Investigation.
Some day the old bitch will get cancer.
Chemo is a real bitch. Yay!

Liberals always think “every human life
is sacred”.
Except for white males, whom they hate.
But a gang member who hacks his victims
up with a machete? Oh, good good good person.
But white male who gets up at 5AM everyday
to hang sheetrock? Oh, bad bad bad
evil white male, take his money to feed the
homeless.
Thus sayeth the liberals.
Save us from the politically correct
lefty liberals, 4 more years, 4 more years!

See, this is how pieces of schit like
the Santa Fe shooter were dealt with,
before we had the internet
https://www.wonderslist.com/10-most-frightening-torture-devices/
Re-implement proper punishments, and these
scumbags wouldnt exist anymore. they
would crawl back under their rock, and stay there.
Instead we got the liberal hillary mommy
demanding “justice for the mistreated
and abused school shooter,
he is a victim of the evil white male society”.

The world has more than enough of amerika’s ‘leadership’.
While carter may be (personally) sincere in his desire to help women and children he must know, or suspect, that the uS loves to cynically exploit such issues as rationales for its military occupations and campaigns around the world. And carter should know, in the 1970s the socialist government of Afghanistan was also committed to genuine progress in the area of women’s rights. Carters cabal of jewish\CFR advisors got him to green-light the destabilization of that country, by supporting the no-very-woman friendly Taliban terrorists with arms, money, and logistical support. Carter and his jewish advisors set back women’s rights in that part of the world decades, if not centuries. And the uS are STILL at it even today. Areas under uS control and domination are sinks of trafficking, discrimination and abuse. A feature of uS occupation, mr Ex-Prez, not a bug.
Then there is this jaw-dropping quote from him.
“The last time we did a check on our military, it was found that there were 16,000 cases of sexual abuse every year in the US military,” Carter said, “probably one of the finest organizations on earth.”
Is he serious? Finest at what exactly? If we made a list of the finest organizations on Earth, the uS military would NOT be on it. Or even in consideration. Besides, at 16k incidents per year (likely under-reported), it should have occured to ex-president feel good here, that maybe the uS military is nothing like the ‘fine’ org he imagines it to be.
Hint: if it were, it wouldn’t have 16k assaults (under-reported) a year now would it?

amouse the Sharia law supporter. Another male who would stop women’s rights by claiming to know what’s good for them. My bet is most women would think that boy has character issues and would run the other way.

Go Speed Racer on Sun, 20th May 2018 4:03 pm
LOL.
It’s already clear that Trump will win
another 4 years.
The reasons are so simple.
The lib-o-crats are hounding Trump endlessly
with stupid crap about “Russia manipulated
the election”.
The rest of the country (not lib-o-crats)
are tired of this stupid meme and the
wagons are circled WITH Trump because
everybody is sick of the Lib-o-crat
tactics of hassling Trump.
So Trump will have plenty of votes.
Also, people settled into the status-quo.
They are accustomed now, to having a lunatic
in the white-house. It’s the new normal.
We’ll just keep doing it.
Lastly, Trump will run again because it’s
the easiest way to stay out of jail.
The lib-o-crats will come up with stupid
charges, like Stormy Daniels received $130K
and they will try to throw Trump into jail
for the next eternity. So it’s easier
for Trump to stay in office.
Most voters at this point see the democrats
as sicker than Trump. At the 2nd election,
it will STILL be a Trump versus Hillary
election. And Hillary is a wrinkled old
bitch, so in 2020 the voters will again
vote for Trump!
(it doesn’t matter that he’s the worst
President we have ever had, what matters
is he IS NOT HILLARY).
JuanP on Sun, 20th May 2018 6:02 pm
GSR on Trump “(it doesn’t matter that he’s the worst
President we have ever had, what matters
is he IS NOT HILLARY).”
I couldn’t agree more. But Trump is old and may not run for reelection. He may not enjoy being the US President enough to want to be reelected; being a former president might appeal more to him than getting reelected.

“The last time we did a check on our military, it was found that there were 16,000 cases of sexual abuse every year in the US military,” Carter said, “probably one of the finest organizations on earth.”
Solution: halve the U.S. military. That way we will be killing only half as many people in Yemen, Syria, etc., etc., and the DoD will have to deal with only 8,000 sexual abuse cases. Plus, we can use the money saved for building a wall against the proto-Mongoloids from Latinoland.
As regards the threat of nuclear war becoming more acute: the U.S. has been threatening the rest of the world with nuclear annihilation ever since Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The only reason other countries want nukes is to protect themselves against “one of the finest organizations on earth.”
And, of course, Sunday-school preacher Jimmy C. thinks that evolution never happened, because Jeezus would not have allowed Negroids to have an average IQ of only 85. (And half of the Afroids in the U.S. have IQs below even that.)
Yes, Jimmy, Yankeeland needs Marxism-lite. Only a few gulags to satisfy Bernie, Chuckie and Nancy. Thanks for your pearls of wisdom.

I well remember the day Reagan was inaugurated and at the same moment the hostages were released. Then a few years later finding out that it had been done on propose by the criminal Reagan campaign team/white house staff to be. To most Reagan lovers Carter was a weak loser and failed at his duties as a leader. The realities as in all things U$ history is not what it seems.

The Coming Collapse
All the harbingers of collapse are visible: crumbling infrastructure; chronic underemployment and unemployment; the indiscriminate use of lethal force by police; political paralysis and stagnation; an economy built on the scaffolding of debt; nihilistic mass shootings in schools, universities, workplaces, malls, concert venues and movie theaters; opioid overdoses that kill some 64,000 people a year; an epidemic of scides; unsustainable military expansion; gambling as a desperate tool of economic development and government revenue; the capture of power by a tiny, corrupt clique; censorship; the physical diminishing of public institutions ranging from schools and libraries to courts and medical facilities; the incessant bombardment by electronic hallucinations to divert us from the depressing sight that has become America and keep us trapped in illusions. We suffer the usual pathologies of impending death. I would be happy to be wrong. But I have seen this before. I know the warning signs. All I can say is get ready.
