A Four-Decade Secret: One Man’s Story of Sabotaging Carter’s Re-election
A prominent Texas politician said he unwittingly took part in a 1980 tour of the Middle East with a clandestine agenda.
nytimes.com

People knew the hostages were being held to help Reagan get elected. I was 15, so too young to vote but this was the first election that I paid attention to because of everything else happening then … and there was a lot happening. The adults around me, a lot of the teachers, were all convinced that something dirty was happening. Maybe they couldn’t prove it, but they knew. Oh, the hostages were released just as Ronnie was swearing in? Yeah, that was one last fuck you to Carter.

They knew it. And now we *know* it.

Fuck Republicans, man. Fuck ‘em.
