According to former President, Jimmy Carter (1977 to 1981), the American Essence or value has been compromised through "unlimited political bribery" using "unlimited money" by "oligarchs" to elect their chosen politicians to office. The system subverts the American definition of Democracy and allows the few to rule over the many without officially being labelled as sovereigns- and thus neglecting any social obligations they might have towards the unwashed. As long as they can get away with it they will, but in the meantime their subversion will reach into other spheres of influence like the Supreme Court decision to bestow the same rights to the Dollar as to a Citizen (Citizens United).

 While the media is controlled by them, even an 'Obvious' could be turned into a 'Maybe' and later a 'But wait..' and ultimately, into an 'Oopps What Now?'(some STUPID new event to distract….). In over 50 years American Presidents have been game for a killing if necessary, so to ignore Jimmy Carter would be a breeze. Carter told Thom Hartmann on his Tuesday's radio program that what you have in America now is: "a complete subversion of our political system as a payoff to major contributors."
