Jimmy Carter created Habitat for Humanity.

Actually what ended Carter's presidency was Ronald Reagan's campaign manager Cassey (headed the CIA), who engaged in espionage and traitorous activity against our democracy, (using the CIA, Mossad, and a French intelligence), to hold off returning American hostages in Iran, until Reagan was in office. This was part of Iran Contra.

There is an excellent book (footnoted as all of Unger's books are), called Den of Spies (2024), about how Carter's presidency was undermined by the same Republican steal-the-election activities they're doing now. Written by one of our great investigative journalists Craig Unger, who wrote 2 books about Trump: House of Trump House of Putin, and American Kompromat.

Highly recommend for in-depth understanding.

The day Reagan was sworn in, the Iranians released all our hostages. Right on target. Republicans got their revenge against one of our most ethical Presidents. The hatred that the CIA, Israel and the Republican party had for Carter, and their corrupt practices is what doomed Carter's presidency.

By Israel, I should preface by stating that it was the right wing Mossad that helped this operation called Iran Contra, because they were concerned about Carters peace plan and "giving too much away" to the Arabs.

People do tend to notice bad service far more than the good service - personally, I am utterly convinced that mandatory public service (the military a la Starship Troopers, a few hours every week in libraries, hospitals, beach cleanups, etc., and everything in between) would lead to a better world, where everyone is more understanding of the demands and stresses of other people's jobs, and we wouldn't need to inform the public of what a great job we're doing.

Amy...Epstein may not have eaten babies, but I've seen posts that stated that the young girls who were raped and end up having babies, had their babies taken away, and that some of those babies were allegedly killed. I have not found a way to corroborate any of that, but those comments have appeared.
