Dhimmi Jimmy Peanut

Ex president bought and paid for by the Saudis

The smallest and most loathsome of ex-presidents, little jimmy peanut, has recently been touting his book to anyone unfortunate enough to be within earshot. It is a lengthy and turgid recounting of his moral superiority in the face of hypocrisy and perfidy everywhere else, along with the claim that only he is telling the truth about how exploited the Palestinians have been and how it is the fault of those awful Jews who are in control of everyone in the media.

Well, it turns out that the pompous little windbag, who like a boorish party guest refuses to go away, has taken millions from the anti-Semites in the Arab world who are dedicated to the destruction of Israel. And this news is brought to us, not by a member of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy, but by a member of the liberal elite; Alan Dershowitz.

In this article written by Mr. Dershowitz, he lays out the details of how Carter has recived millions in Arab money to fund his pet projects and to keep his peanut farm afloat. It is a stunning turn of events in which Mr. Dershowitz calls on the most ex of ex presidents to lay his cards on the table and tell us all just how much money he has taken and from whom. I, for one, would be very interested to know just how much the petulant little twit has gotten to play the stooge and continually undercut America's policies in the Mideast. Wouldn't you?

It now turns out that the shoe is precisely on the other foot. Recent disclosures prove that it is Carter who has been bought and paid for by anti-Israel Arab and Islamic money.

Journalist Jacob Laksin has documented the tens of millions of dollars that the Carter Center has accepted from Saudi Arabian royalty and assorted other Middle Eastern sultans, who, in return, Carter dutifully praised as peaceful and tolerant (no matter how despotic the regime). And these are only the confirmed, public donations.

Carter has also accepted half a million dollars and an award from Sheik Zayed bin Sultan al-Nahyan, saying in 2001: "This award has special significance for me because it is named for my personal friend, Sheik Zayed bin Sultan al-Nahyan." This is the same Zayed, the long-time ruler of the United Arab Emirates, whose $2.5 million gift to the Harvard Divinity School was returned in 2004 due to Zayed's rampant Jew-hatred. Zayed's personal foundation, the Zayed Center, claims that it was Zionists, rather than Nazis, who “were the people who killed the Jews in Europe” during the Holocaust. It has held lectures on the blood libel and conspiracy theories about Jews and America perpetrating Sept. 11.

Another journalist, Rachel Ehrenfeld, in a thorough and devastating article on "Carter’s Arab Financiers," meticulously catalogues Carter’s ties to Arab moneymen, from a Saudi bailout of his peanut farm in 1976, to funding for Carter’s presidential library, to continued support for all manner of Carter’s post-presidential activities. For instance, it was the Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI), founded in Pakistan and fronted by a Saudi billionaire, Gaith Pharaon, that helped Carter start up his beloved Carter Center. According to Ehrenfeld:

“BCCI's origins were primarily ideological. [Agha Hasan] Abedi wanted the bank to reflect the supra-national Muslim credo and ‘the best bridge to help the world of Islam, and the best way to fight the evil influence of the Zionists.’
