Bizarre plot to Assassinate Jimmy Carter

by redstatehatemonitor, Wed Jul 04, 2007 at 10:26:34 AM EDT

Happy Independence Day my friends although with the NEO-CONS still in control there truly isn't very

much to be cheerful about. I wasn't much of a conspiracy theorist kind of person until a Rolling Stone

article kind of got me interested in revisiting the JFKAssassination. In addition to that story some other

recent sources also seem to be confirming a sinister plot as a matter of fact a conspiracy very similar to the

storyline of the 1991 Oliver Stone Movie JFK.

While reading about the JFK Assassination on a website I ran across an amazing tale about a foiled 1979

plot to Assassinate President Jimmy Carter. Perhaps the most shocking aspect about the two men

who were arrested in the plot to kill President Carter were their names Raymond Lee Harvey &

Osvaldo Espinoza-Ortiz.

In addition to theNew York Times and Time Magazine reporting on this weird sagaNewsweek also ran a

story on it.

Newsweek

5/21/79

At first it seemed just a bum's boozy fantasy. When a grubby transient named Raymond Lee Harvey was

arrested 50 feet away from Jimmy Carter at a Los Angeles rally two weekends ago, he claimed to be

part of a four-man conspiracy to assassinate Carter. Harvey carried only a blank-firing starter's pistol,

and the Secret Service said at the time that he had "all the characteristics of a derelict."But investigators

found new evidence last week that supported Harvey's story-including a shotgun case and

ammunition in a nearby hotel room-and once again raised the specter of a Presidential assassination

plot.

The case is as bizarre and confusing as it is potentially serious. One curious twist is the names of the

principals. Raymond Lee Harvey, who was held on $50,000 bail last week on a charge of conspiring to

kill the President, and Oswaldo Espinoza Ortiz, who was held on $100,000 bail as a material witness.

References to Lee Harvey Oswald and the assass ination of John F. Kennedy were unavoidable.

Officials have also indicated that Harvey has a history of mental illness. Both Harvey and Espinoza now

claim that Harvey was supposed to create a diversion by firing his starter's pistol while two other men

attempted to shoot Carter. But investigators say they have no clues to the whereabouts of the alleged

accomplices and are not even certain of their identities. Accordingly, the authorities have been careful to

stress their doubts about the case.

This was back in the days before cable TV News however all three networks reported this story at least once on their

respective evening news broadcasts.

This story seems to have vanished shortly after it was first reported. Was the combined name Lee Harvey Osvaldo just

a very strange coincidence or was somebody trying to send a not so subtle message to President Carter. Jimmy Carter

first shook things up by winning the Democratic Party Nomination because he was the ultimate outsider indeed once

elected he even further rocked the boat because he was doing things very differently than previous administrations had

which is something we all know doesn't appeal to well to the Washington insider establishment.

President Carter with members of the ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND who were major donors to

his campaign and they also played at his Inaugural Ball

I often think about how things would have been so much better for this country if Ronald Reagan had never

been elected President. President Carter was a far better President than is often portrayed in the Media. Hewas a real Christian not a fake like these Religious Right bastards who have hijacked a religion to enforce

their narrow minded hate-filled agenda down the rest of our fuckin throats. Jimmy Carter made human rights

an issue during his presidency he also cut ties with several Right Wing military dictatorships who had

committed horrible human rights abuses. He also had plans to scale down the War on Drugs and move

towards legalizing Marijuana.

According to Wikipedia Raymond Lee Harvey was sentenced to life in prison for his role in the plot to assassinate

President Jimmy Carter but the fate of his partner Osvaldo Espinoza Ortiz was quite different because he was simply

released due to lack of evidence and he has apparently disappeared from the face of the earth.
