So Jimmy Carter gave a "green light" to Saddam to invade Iran. According to gonzo conspiracy journalist Robert Parry that is.
Parry was one of the pushers of the October Surprise conspiracy story and the Consortium stuff you linked to in footnote 5 to seems to be an offshoot of that bigger "story". (I won't comment on the FinalCall source.) Unfortunately, the whole October Surprise story seems to have been discredited:
So much attention to the October Surprise theory meant it had to be checked in sober and exhaustive detail, and under such scrutiny it promptly collapsed. Several journalistic investigations started the process, especially Frank Snepp, "Brenneke Exposed," Village Voice, 10 September 1991; John Barry, "Making of a Myth," Newsweek, 11 November 1991; Steve Emerson and Jesse Furman, "The Conspiracy That Wasn't," New Republic, 18 November 1991; and Frank Snepp, "October Surmise," Village Voice, 25 February 1992.
