Jimmy Carter & Truth Commissions

Occasionally there are federal judges who have not had their secrets compromised, or perhaps have not engaged in blackmailable activity, and therefore rule legally:
U.S. District Court Judge Katherine Forrest ruled 1021’s language unconstitutional and had issued a permanent injunction on its implementation in September 2012.
But never mind, soon enough compliant judges are just above...  we are now experiencing chaos, the hobbesian all against all.  Midlevel rogues are running amock.  There is no adult supervision, because the adults have been compromised.  Any safety we are experiencing can only be attributed to our natural inclination to order out of chaos, anarchy.

Congress is supposed to have oversight responsibility of our government, but midlevel rogues (colonel is mid-level) simply ignore congress or lie.


“Col. Bristol was not invited by Congress to testify before he retired,” said Air Force Maj. Robert Firman, a spokesman with the Office of the Secretary of Defense. “The DoD has cooperated fully with Congress and the Accountability Review Board since the beginning of this investigation, and we will continue to do so.”
That isn’t the case, however. While Bristol is preparing for retirement, he is on active duty through the end of July, said Maj. Shawn Haney, a Marine spokeswoman, on Wednesday. He will be placed on the inactive list on Aug. 1, she said. That contradicts statements that Pentagon officials have issued to both Congress and the media.

Lying, a cowards way out, is the default by serving military officers (the others have resigned or have been prosecuted.)  And why not, in a standing military, all officers are politicians.  Petreaus has admitted to criminal acts, and he goes free.  Who has been punished for lying?  Only Snowden, for telling the truth. The only way out for the rest of us now is the truth commissions.

A good man to lead truth commissions would be Jimmy Carter, my favorite president, since his deregulation efforts led to the economic revival for which Reagan took credit.  Here is Jimmy Carter's CIA director:
In the documentary Secrets of the CIA Turner commented on the MK ULTRA project, saying, "it came to my attention early in my tenure as director, and I felt it was a warning sign that if you're not alert, things can go wrong in this organization."
And later...
In November 2005, after Vice President Dick Cheney had lobbied against a provision to a defence Bill that Republican Senator John McCain had passed in the senate banning "cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment" of all U.S. detainees, Turner was quoted as saying "I am embarrassed that the USA has a vice president for torture. I think it is just reprehensible. He [Dick Cheney] advocates torture, what else is it? I just don't understand how a man in that position can take such a stance."
Jimmy Carter today says what I have been saying, and that is the USA has no functioning democracy.  Jimmy Carter has it right, and clearly can collect the extremely few still honorable people around him.  That is why he is so hated.
