Communist dictator Fidel Castro with President Jimmy Carter

Carter: “Dangerously disconnected with reality”

President Carter’s appeasement of global communism...

"My child, you must not have fear at speaking the truth. It is for the salvation of souls and the recovery of your country. America the beautiful must not fall to communism, My child. America the beautiful shall not be sold into slavery.  Cast out the money changers in your government! What manner of government is there that condones sin?  Abomination upon abomination--giving monies for the murder of children, giving monies for the murder of the elderly!  Your government, My child, has been infiltrated by men of sin." - Our Lady of the Roses, September 13, 1975

The following is taken from Sean Hannity's book, Deliver us from Evil:

But the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan that December [1979] took tensions to a new level. Using more aggressive tactics than usual, the Red Army entered the country with two airborne divisions, seizing Kabul, and following up with a massive influx of regular troops. In the 1960s, the Soviets had “helped” Afghanistan by building modern roads down through the country. Now those same roads were being used by 80,000 Russian troops.

 

Jimmy Carter was in shock. “This action of the Soviets,” he told ABC News, “has made a more dramatic change in my own opinion of what the Soviets’ ultimate goals are than anything they’ve done in the previous time I’ve been in office.”

 

A comment like this, coming from an American leader three years into his presidency, was almost as shocking as the invasion itself. During Carter’s own time in office the horror of the communist genocide in Cambodia unfolded. Before that, the world had witnessed the slaughters in Vietnam, Korea, and Red China. Certainly he would have known of Stalin’s mass murders, of Solzhenitsyn’s personal account of Soviet concentration camps. Carter knew that the Soviet army had moved into Hungary and Czechoslovakia to crush citizen freedom fighters. And he knew that desperate East Germans were regularly shot on sight simply for trying to escape communist tyranny over the Berlin Wall. The evil of communism was no secret.

 

Jimmy Carter was not a stupid man. The only conclusion we can draw is that he was willfully blind to the Soviet leadership’s horrific history of violence. The communists’ record for mass murder was well-known long before Carter’s presidency. Given all that, how could a man like Jimmy Carter attain the highest office in the world’s most powerful nation—and still be surprised at the Soviet Union’s capacity for evil?

 

Former Texas Governor John Connally called President Carter’s statement “absolutely frightening,” and he wasn’t alone in his assessment. Carter’s comment wasn’t just naïve, it was dangerously disconnected from reality. Let’s look at the cold statistics. A recent accounting of the death toll under communist tyranny is sobering:  

Region death toll:

U.S.S.R. 20 million;

China 65 million;

Vietnam 1 million;

North Korea 2 million;

Cambodia 2 million;

Eastern Europe 1 million;

Africa 1.7 million;

Afghanistan 1.5 million;

Latin America 150,000. 

Total: More than 94 million. 

 

These figures are conservative; others have suggested a total closer to 150 million. To put this in perspective, the Nazi’s death toll has been estimated at 25 million. As Jimmy Carter well knew, communism had cut a bloody scar through the twentieth century.

 

By the end of his presidency, aided by an increasingly liberal Congress, Carter had left America in a geopolitical mess, weakening her as an opponent of communism and international terrorism. In 1982, Jeane Kirkpatrick, Ronald Reagan’s ambassador to the United Nations, summed up the situation.

 

“While Carter was President there occurred a dramatic Soviet military buildup, matched by the stagnation of American armed forces, and a dramatic extension of Soviet influence in the Horn of Africa, Afghanistan, southern Africa, and the Caribbean, matched by a declining American position in all these areas. The United States never tried so hard and failed so utterly to make and keep friends in the Third World. As if this were not bad enough, in one year, 1979, the United States suffered two other major blows—in Iran and Nicaragua—of large and strategic significance. In each country, the Carter administration not only failed to prevent the undesired outcome, but actively collaborated in the replacement of moderate autocrats friendly to American interests with less friendly autocrats of extremist persuasion.” (pp. 65-66)

"O My children of the United States, do you not understand what is ahead for you? Your country, the United States, has not known what it is to suffer through destructive forces. My children, you shall not escape the destruction that the Bear of communism has set upon many countries in Europe and the world. You cannot compromise your Faith to save what there is left, for everything upon earth shall fall as rubble with the Chastisement. A ball of fire, a chastisement, a baptism of fire, is heading for mankind. Can you not understand?" - Our Lady of the Roses, November 20, 1978
