Jimmy Carter was too good of a man to be President. Look at all he did after he left office. Not one compares.
lmaooooooooo. repeal the 19th.
Except everything he did for peace in North Korea was based on lies and BS
He destroyed trucking companies,,which enabled big box stores which cause over consuming,,which enabled RedChina.He gave away the Panama canal which shouldve been given to Colombia ,,he was absinness man who cared about$$$$
&&& he is an antisemite& hates israel
I see it takes very little to impress you as he's a Jesuit (CFR) slave and a Freemason who played his part well as a do-nothing, non-playing character. Zbigniew Brzezinski ran the nation via Rome.
I was thinking that exact thing last weekend!!!
My all time favorite race was George W. Bush vs John Kerry. I really believed they didn't like each other until I found out they were Skull and Bones brothers. Then you have Clinton and George H.W. who also seemed to dislike each other but later were like father and son. Politicians are the ones who truly deserve the Oscars.
totally agree my friend ,,only who would you get to slap them across the face. I 🤣🤣🤣
I did hear Bill Clinton's speech when in Sydney when he was running for president ,his speech was so good I laughed and told my son he will win OMG he could talk. He certainly used those skills many years later while talking to his wife about Monica
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yeah. They're like lawyers who slice each other to pieces in court and then play golf together or like actors who beat each other up on the movie set and then have some beers.
Big act, and big actors, all bought and sold by the same set of corporate oligarchs.
In the case of George H. W. Bush and Clinton, I would disagree. First, being opponents doesn't necessarily mean being enemies. Second, people argue and even fight each other, and can reconcile. It's not something that happens to non politicians only. They're humans. Moreover, given the values that we love to claim in this country, isn't it beautiful or perhaps, normal to see former presidents being good pal?
The sad thing is America has had so many poor presidents and so few real good ones.
From a completely apolitical perspective, 2008 Obama and Raegan in both terms were just unbeatable. And I'm not even talking about policy. Just the sheer charisma these two brought to the table, and how they made their opponents look like dull and boring idiots is testament to the fact that elections are more optics than substance.
Obama did not win by much on his second term. But you're right about their charisma. I actually despise Obama for his politics.
Obama Was A Lying Crook!!!
Never saw Obama as being particularly "charismatic ",,,,
Reagan
obama was a low down communist. President Ronald Reagan was the best ever.
They were all crooks end of story

I normally vote Republican, but GW Bush and Cheney should be in jail. Looks like we need campaigns funds reform as well. My hope for 2024 is a younger economically competent person and we need to start demanding Congress have term limits.
Somehow the dems have become neocons today, Hillary/Biden/Obama are much closer to Bush/Cheney than they are to Bernie.
Agreed. Congress must have term limits.
The grotesque behemoth of financial meddling in the political process has become dangerously empowered and is increasing, both in its reach and in its ferocity. This is a global problem, as oligarchs are tightening their grip on all key areas of human affairs, destroying democracy and civil society in equal measure. The wildly disproportionate wealth enjoyed by less than 0.1% of the World's population, with its corresponding political power, is acting as a destabilising force on the world and on human society in all its forms. Such destabilisation can lead to the collapse - in total or in part - of Civil Society (in countries, transnational blocs and supranational institutions), leading to the contrivance of or chaotic 'falling into' extreme forms of corporatism, such as Fascism, the consequences of which are all too well known to history. Civil Society is, at its simplest, that domain of human activity which lies between the formal institutions of law, the state etc (institutions endowed with the 'monopoly on the ostensibly legitimate use of force)' at the top and, at the base, the domain of the purely individual and the selfish/self-driven interests thereof. Within this intermediate domain, people interact freely and voluntarily; within this region, families are formed, norms are passed between generations and the young are 'aculturated' into the society itself, ensuring its stability and continuation.
'Civil Society' can be threatened, undermined or damaged, either by extreme individualism and the consequent 'atomisation' of society and the breaking of social bonds, characterised by, say, 'Thatcherism' (quote: "There is no such thing as 'society' " - Thatcher, M, 1988), a force that can destroy communities (such as mining communities in the 1984 miners' strike, in the UK), OR, at the other extreme, by an overarching, all-encompasing, all-owning, all-dictating, corporatist, tyrannical totalitarian dictatorship, such as that of North Korea. Both these forces not only can crush Civil Society to rubble, but themselves depend on its destruction for their very existence and continuation.
We must be able to recognise these forces and be cogniscant the factors of their causation and vigilant of their ever insidious encroachment.

We need to abandon the party politics and stop viewing elections as a sport, where our “team” wins. We need to demand the best people represent us, regardless of “team” affiliation. Until then expect nothing to change and only blame yourself.
We also need to put a limit on presidential executive orders and put the decision making back into the legislature.

@@loop1479 -- yes, i don't like to think about this. JFK was totally assassinated. Trump was too, but not with a bullet -- rather with multiple impeachments and smear campaigns. The guy who goes against The Narrative will pay, it seems. EDIT: i would be remiss if I didn't point out the flipside of this -- that the career criminals who orchestrated the fake (per recent news) Russian dossier which engendered the 4-year investigation and at least one impeachment, will never see justice in this world... i mean it's doubtful.

As far as I can tell this ran on regular German terrestrial T.V. - I grew up in Germany and there were often programs heavily criticizing American policy. This is also why Europeans are kinda confused when the eventually visit the States, and they know more about the structure of the country than Americans themselves....
Yep it's a shame and in my generation (born in 1999) you are laughed at , mocked and actually disliked / hated / frowned upon for having no social media. I deleted all mine and gave my life to Jesus Christ and the reaction of my friends was pitiful. Don't even speak to them now.

Carter was a decent man. He got hit with a tsunami, perfect storm of bad stuff all at the same time. Let's not forget, Carter brokered a peace deal in the Middle East. He got the Nobel Prize for that. Even if that's all the man did, that's a wonderful thing to have accomplished.
Americans be like, “I don’t care if he ruins my life, I don’t care if he doesn’t know anything, he seems like I could have a beer with him, so we need to make him the president!”
Dude if you can't even speak intelligently ("Americans be like"... Seriously 🤔) you should not try and generalise about entire populations. There are people like that in many countries. Some American's simply want someone like Trump to throw insults at established politics and create havoc within the political system. Others are sincere in thinking he can change things. Others think more deeply about things. Don't ever think every voter in any other country is studiously examining the issues and candidates.
@@eternity8811 Four things: 1. I’m an American myself, 2. I know not *all* Americans are like that (and I don’t see myself that way), 3. I know other countries have dumb voters too, and 4. I was just voicing my frustration at how a bunch of really bad American presidents got elected through public-image, culture-war, personality-type stuff, rather than the facts of the issues, which were mostly ignored. I’m still mad about Reagan’s victory over Carter in 1980, and I wasn’t even alive when that happened.
@@matthewgliatto7339 ok sorry. I get a bit righteous over this stuff. You are clearly more intelligent than I presumed. I don't know many people who weren't alive at the time who have any real understanding of the engineered Reagan victory over Carter. It'was basically Bush and his minions.
What's really interesting is the circumstances surrounding the attempt on Reagan's life, & the links between Bush SNR and Hinckley (the families were good friends), Reagan's alleged attempted assassin. Had that attempt succeeded Bush obviously would have become President much earlier. Hinckley was probably a post MK Ultra programming victim himself, and had been institutionalized beforehand, providing opportunity for such programming to occur. Anyway now I'm verging into some areas dismissed by some people as "conspiracy theories"...
But the links are there, and so is the motive. But I won't ramble on much more.
Again I apologize for my derisive reply, I guess I should be less automatically critical. I just like Americans generally and dislike the way a lot of people from other nations tend to portray them, to feel superior when these people elected two-faced puppets like Macron, Trudeau, etc. Peace.

It would be nice if this doc went into more detail about how the corruption steamroller has been gaining momentum with all of these characters. There's a lot of deception, starting with the fiat currency.... or any other starting point would work too since the gray area has become more smudged as well. This would be a ten hour doc, at least.
Absolutely right, and a bit more about why the maniac LB Johnson didn't stand again in '68, and the possibility that he was up to his neck in the assassination of Kennedy. Politics has always been a dirty game but it's possible that Johnson's presidency was the first where the dark state really managed to take charge.
Get over the fiat issue and join the 21st century. You can't have a global economy without fiat ... Economies can't compete with gold cause if it is all buried in somalia guess what.. they would just be invaded for it. Same goes for oil
Great valid point. When they make documentaries like this you know that have to make omissions from what really needs to be heard.
Has it gained momentum or has social media made it more transparent?

Agreed. Beware the person who wants to have power over other people.

The problem is not the institution. The problem is social decay, that produces lack luster leaders, and voters who choose the letter at the end of someone's name. We pick and it's our fault.

Why wasn't Kissinger ever brought before a war crimes trail at the Hauge??
One more point. I've heard the story of Nixons sweating on the first debate as a reason for his defeat dozens of times. Possibly. Give us your proof. The final popular vote tally was 49.8% Kennedy, 49.6% Nixon (or very close to those numbers). So, .2% difference was due to how Nixon looked at the first debate assuming the electoral count would have shifted by the same amount. Yet they have the answer why Nixon lost. I bring this up not because I had a dog in this race. I was 14 years old at the time. My point is pinning the reason for the outcome of the election on a simple, single observation is dubious to me. I look forward to an actual uncovering of dirty side of the executive branch instead of more puff pieces like this.
The election was stolen by the Kennedy machine. Money talks.
NOT dozens of times (during his bid from VP for President - against Kennedy) (he refused live TV debates as did LBJ) Well IF one was alive and watching it on the old black and white tv's easily seen. Kennedy (and that family corruption as well - pappa!) looked cool, young and handsome. Nixon would not wear any make up for TV either. (I recall Kissinger stating much about Nixon, introverted - shy - and only "comfortable within the autonomous masses of crowds" (rather then one on one).
nothing matters more to me than that the candidate NOT be a dem.
We know that Joseph Kennedy bought votes and favors in Chicago. He, Joseph, had a sinister smile. Not a good guy.
@@suestephan3255 After I found out about the whole story I lost all respect for the family in general.

"In the end, only the voters decide."
If only that were still true.
did anyone else notice? Kissinger said "a fool walked into the White House and did what he was told" when explaining Nixon's downfall. He referred to Nixon's foolishness again after that. What did he mean by "did what he was told"?
He was controlled by the deep state

Ronald Reagan a "former" actor. Got a good laugh out of that one. Deserving of a larger than life solid gold Oscar statue and Academy Award. Great story and joke teller. The Great Communicator, the Teflon President.
Even if things weren’t that good he could make you feel good. One time he was giving a speech and someone was shouting things from the back so he stopped and said “ is there an ECHO in here?
Reagan was a fraud and charlatan. A conman
Sadly, as a human Reagan was a complete sell out. Betrayed fellow actors to McCarthy in the 50’s, same with his time in SAG, and then as Gov. of California, purely in the pocket of big business, then the ultimate sell out, the destruction of regulation and the separation of st stock market and banks. Today’s impoverishment of the working class all starts with Reagan.

Nixon didn't need the break in to win. Which makes you wonder what the goal of the break in really was about.
Nixon was paranoid. He was also very insecure. He never felt like the Republican establishment accepted him. He basically lost everything because he didn't trust himself.
He was obsessed with control.
Nixon was paranoid.
>>> THE BREAK IN WAS ABOUT JOHN MITCHELL,,, AND COMPANY ! "COMMITEE TO RE-ELECT"
It was revenge for the DNC bugging him. He told his staffers specifically not to retaliate...they did regardless. He took the fall.

They didn't bother with the elections where the incumbent was re-elected.
Except Nixon in '72, Watergate was just too juicy for them to resist.
Ronnie Actor Reagan
That was fairly normal up through Reagan's election. For most of the last century or so, America was pretty decisive as a nation about who they elected. The presidential elections weren't really tight races, the country clearly favored one candidate or the other. The polarization of the country took place under Reagan, and ever since we have divided along party lines.
Excellent video. It should become a Political Science classic.
This is meant to be about the "seedy underbelly" of the presidency, yet in the section on the Kennedy/Nixon election campaign, there is nothing about Kennedy using national security secrets during the debate to corner Nixon, and nothing about Kennedy rigging the voting in Chicago.
Note a very insightful documentary.

I agree that President Carter was an honourable person and, moreover a true statesman. I am sure that his like would be so ill at ease in today's political climate, characterised, as it is, by sleeze, corruption and mendacity, a property of political establishments throughout the world.

@@stephenhardy312 I didn’t see Jimmy Carter get a card at Poppy Bush,s funeral, he looked a bit left out of it to me. All the rest got a card , and I noticed Hilary Roddam Clinton’s card had a lighlighter pen in the top corner 😜 . The cards simply said “we know everything , we have it all”
Just looked up President’s IQs Jimmy Carter was 5th - always liked him, he was a member of a group of 12 ( can’t remember the name) wise leaders.
‘Honesty, truthfulness, integrity, unselfishness-these are always there. And whenever a leader violates these basic principles, through arrogance or through ignorance, there's a derogation of duty.’ Jimmy Carter quote
As for the GHW Bush and GW Bush their IQ rankings were 30th and 39th respectively.
I love the statement all crooks that pretty much sums up everything
"...because, only the voters decide."
and the Supreme Court... and the Electoral College...
This really glosses over the issues that were prevalent.
As always
Actually the Carter - Ford election wasn't really close. Carter had 297 electoral votes to 240 for Ford. The popular was much closer, but that vote is unofficial.
I can't believe that in June of 2022, Henry Kissenger is still alive. Smh
Kissinger's globalist ties may have bought him time on life support at Soros' house.
President Carter was and is a truly good person
I believe if Al Gore would have let us know about man bear pig at the beginning of his campaign, he would have been president🤣
Only difference in Nixon and the others is he got caught.
Short and to the point.
It's amazing. Henry Kissinger literally sounds like the crypt keeper. And this was a long time ago! Yet he is still alive and active! He's a corpse!
I was just thinking about how much I hate the vocal fry that seems so prevalent lately, like what's up with these young women talking like that, where do they get that annoying habit? All Kissinger fans, probably.
Unfortunately politics is not about the greater good but about who has power and can hold on to it.
The one term I found most applicable to today's political arena, and how candidates, and their campaigns, he employed the word manipulated. Damned if that doesn't pretty much sum up the entire process. Campaigns no longer focus on issues, but instead have a laser focus on manipulation. What they seek most it to manipulate the emotions of voters. Facts be damned because for a fact to matter one has must first put thought into considering the fact, weighing both the legitimacy of the fact as well as its impact on the life of the voter. That is far too much effort for most voters to invest. Instead, when emotions are targeted, the reaction is almost immediate. There is no need for thinking, for asking questions, or for even doubting. This works especially well when the emotion being targeted is the very emotion that results from the seeds planted by those seeking to exploit the emotion they help to make dominant within a group of voters. The Trump campaign did exactly this, and despite no longer holding office, these very same efforts are still be used against the voting public. The emotion most frequently targeted for exploitation is fear. And those fears are based upon being told repeatedly something is either being taken away or something that will be taken away. Tell a fundamentalist Christian often enough that religion is under attack and fear is created. Tell the majority that others are coming to transform them into the minority and fear is created. Constantly emphasizing the differences in groups of people creates fear. The creation and re-enforcing of fear is the goal. Fear is the seed. Manipulation of truth is the growth agent. Elections decided upon the successfully manipulating the emotions of the voter is the fruit harvested. And this is a poisonous fruit so many feast upon with zero awareness that one day the toxicity will overwhelm all - both those who consumed it and those who shied away.
How about that hope and change ! How did that work out ! You're blaming Trump for what the left perfected ! And I don't like Trump but the idea that Trump is any worse is brain washing nonsense !
Look at the Biden/Democrat campaign!! Every time they speak it's "Vote for us or democracy will die and fascism will take over, and you can't kill your unborn!!" Talk about appealing to emotions over facts!!!
My first vote for a President was in 1984, and Reagan was my choice. It was a clean campaign by comparison to what I have witnessed since. The most disturbing item was the extreme polarization that took place from 1988 on, and now it appears that a civil war is heading our way. However, the media is owned by powerful people that can influence elections, and they're mostly establishment people. In 1992, the main stream media barely said a single bad thing about George Bush, but Clinton was hit with everything, except say the kitchen sink. It was telling then, and now its completely out of the closet with the media fully distorting everything to favor their choice. Note, I say establishment that means both Democrat and Republican. You want it boiled to simpler terms, good cop - bad cop or as police detectives term it Mutt and Jeff. They play act rivalry, but on the same team. Just the same the public has been played time and time again. Wake up, Americans.
"Bill Clinton plays the saxophone" "Music is a way to reach young people". As a young person then, I don't recall thinking Bill was cool because he played school band instruments and music old people listened to. 🤣
I will admit I had just turned 18 and it was the first time I voted. I voted for Clinton because he played the saxophone. that made him a lot cooler than the other guy. (so I thought)
@@francisjames6996 I'm sure some might, but that wasn't a way to reach kids our age in the 90s who thought band was for dorks. I recall people laughing at band members and why they get joked on in movies as dorks. Nothing cool about them. lol
billy was playing monica-phone as well
The last president to have a balanced budget
@@francisjames6996 Its rather unsettling knowing people vote in such a manner, let alone admit it.
"How could people be manipulated by marketing?It couldnt really work could it? Lol"i think this everyday..
Proud of my statements. I wouldn't be part of an agreement that involves assassinations. Grateful to my bipartisan coalition who worked together to get her. My grandfather isn't competing with anyone and too much of my existence was widdled away because of the approach until recently.
The shame is ours. These two men were running for the office of the most powerful person on the planet, not best in show or Academy Award.
