🇨🇦 Michael Porter 🇨🇦<p>The "International Intrigue" newsletter shared this story today, with no comment other than the 👀 emoji:<br>----<br>Jimmy Carter's state funeral just took place, and there's been plenty written about his legacy as US president. But this wild Carter anecdote from a 2005 GQ interview really caught my eye, so I thought I'd share it with you here:<br>"We had a plane go down in the Central African Republic- a twin engine plane, small plane. And we couldn't find it. And so we oriented satellites that were going around the earth every ninety minutes to fly over that spot where we thought it might be and take photographs. We couldn't find it. So the director of the CIA came and told me that he had contacted a woman in California that claimed to have supernatural capabilities. And she went in a trance, and she wrote down latitudes and longitudes, and we sent our satellite over that latitude and longitude, and there was the plane." <br>----</p><p>Translation for the mystically-minded: <br>The CIA found out where the plane was and they didn't want to tell Carter how they found it.</p><p><a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>USPol</span></a> <a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/JimmyCarter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>JimmyCarter</span></a> <a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/Myticism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Myticism</span></a> <a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/Skepticism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Skepticism</span></a></p>
