Ray McGovern Quotes

• Nuestra carta de derechos ha sido destrozada. La cuarta enmienda prohíbe específicamente el tipo de actividades en las que está implicada la NSA a nivel nacional. La quinta enmienda prohíbe a cualquier presidente o cualquier otra persona matar a alguien sin el debido proceso.

• Now, how do you explain Obama's claim, that he can kill American citizens without due process? Well, he has his attorney general get up and say, "Well, it doesn't say in the constitution judicial process. It just says due process." Now that's a lawyerly diversion from the truth.

• I would answer with the words of the Stasi alumnus Wolfgang Schmidt, who was asked that question: "What about these Americans who say, I have nothing to hide?" And he said, and I quote: "This is very naïve. This is the reason that the government collects the information in the first place to use against you. The only way to prevent that is to prevent the information from being collected in the first place." End quote.

• Todos tenemos una responsabilidad, y como dijo el rabino Heschel, uno de mis profetas: "Los que consienten, o callan, ante la injusticia, son más culpables que los autores". Y así, en la medida en que pretendemos ser una democracia, tenemos el deber correspondiente de ser lo suficientemente activistas como para impedir que se vulneren nuestros derechos humanos.

• En mi opinión, el papel de nuestros "aliados" es un escándalo. Otros 53 países cooperaron en el secuestro, la "entrega extraordinaria", de presuntos terroristas a lugares secretos donde se les administraron técnicas de interrogatorio mejoradas, que por cierto es una traducción directa y literal de "verschärfte Vernehmung", sacada directamente del manual de la Gestapo.

• When an administration embarks on a war justified by little or no intelligence, speaking the truth can be regarded as treachery. The country could use more of that kind of "treachery".

• And the passiveness, you know, the apathy, well, that's not responsible citizenship. When I'm asked, why am I an activist, I say, well that's the rent that I pay for living on this planet, okay?

• Nunca habría pensado que me oiría decir que el presidente de Estados Unidos teme a la CIA. Pero lo tiene. También teme a la NSA. Si no, ¿cómo explicar que el director de Inteligencia Nacional, que mintió bajo juramento ante sus supervisores del Senado el 12 de marzo de 2013, siga siendo el director de Inteligencia Nacional?

• Cuando el soldado Bradley [alias Chelsea] Manning antepuso su conciencia a su bienestar personal al revelar supuestamente información importante a la opinión pública mundial a través de WikiLeaks, fue sometido a un inhumano régimen de aislamiento y ahora se enfrenta a cargos que conllevan la posibilidad de que pase el resto de su vida en prisión.

• Forma un grupo pequeño. Cinco o seis personas que piensen como tú y que estén dispuestas a reunirse con regularidad, todas las semanas, y te sorprenderá lo imaginativo y valiente que es el pensamiento y la acción que surge de esa sinergia. Lleva un tiempo, pero cada pequeño grupo así puede hacer algo.

• Now the big danger is to avoid doing anything, unless you have a surety, unless you have an assurance that you'll be successful. It's not about being successful. It's about being faithful. The good is worth doing, because it's good. And who knows what the results will be?

• Everyone knows that due process means judicial process, and when John Brennan brings him a list of people to be killed this particular week, that's not due process. That's certainly not judicial process. So there's the fifth amendment. Not even George Bush claimed the right to kill American citizens without due process.

• I would say that not many German people are still alive, who experienced what happened during the third reich. We don't have to go to the Stasi, we can go to the Gestapo, and see what happens, when your human rights, your ability to a freedom of expression and a freedom of thought is infringed upon. This is terribly, terribly dangerous territory.

• You know, it's hard to say this, but I suspect that Obama is afraid either of blackmail potential or even worse. And he has referred to the killing of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in this main saying, "don't you remember what happened to Dr. King?"

• I knew about some experience on the operational part of the CIA with Latin American services and so forth having to do with torture. But this was the first time that the CIA was openly advocating for permission to be able to torture. And that seemed to me so abhorrent that I wanted to disassociate myself from the CIA for the first time since 1963, because I didn't want to be associated in any way, however remotely, with an agency engaged in torture.

• Puede que sólo estemos plantando semillas para las generaciones futuras, pero no pasa nada. No podemos disuadirnos de hacer cosas, porque podrían reírse de nosotros, porque alguien podría decir: "¿Qué creías que conseguirías dándole la espalda a la secretaria de Estado?", o algo así.
