Destabilized

"When President Carter unexpectedly tried to talk about the assassination on national television, he was instantly cut off. There was no sound for nearly half an hour, but viewers all over America could see Carter sitting there like a fool.  In fact, each president upon entering office  was destabilized by this Secret Team, shots taken at them, and things done to them.  Presidents were mistranslated, intimidated, controlled, and actually terrorized in some cases, so they got the message that the power lay outside of the White House gates."
