I had press credentials to attend the Democrat National Convention in New York City in July when his party nominated him, and I had credentials to cover his inauguration at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 20, 1977.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>During his one-term presidency, I reported from time to time on what he and his administration were doing.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>This blog, written several hours after Carter passed away yesterday at his home at age 100, mainly focuses on the time (1976-\u201977) when I had the closest, most in-person view of him including as one of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/The_Boys_on_the_Bus\">boys on the [campaign] bus<\/a>.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>What I have never forgotten in the almost half-century since then is how the reality I observed of Carter, as he dispatched his more well-known opponents on his ascent to the presidency, differed substantially from the carefully crafted image that helped to get him elected.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>&#8230;Most American voters wanted to \u201cthrow the bums out,\u201d and Carter \u2013 a little-known Southern governor when he embarked on his campaign the same year that Nixon was ousted \u2013 took full advantage of his supposed outsider status.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>In fact, however, Carter already had covert and deep roots on the inside, in particular as a carefully chosen member groomed by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tesble.com\/10.2307\/4366204\">Trilateral Commission<\/a>, a shadowy group of globalist elitists organized by David Rockefeller in 1973. With their help, Carter already had a leg up with the mainstream <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Operation_Mockingbird\">mockingbird media<\/a>. His shtick was to present himself as an aw-shucks Southern gentleman, but a man of the people, the \u201cgrinning Georgian\u201d as I called him in a cover story I wrote in 1976 about California Gov. Jerry Brown.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Please follow the link to the article for the complete story.
