RE: Veteran CIA Analyst Ray McGovern Assaulted By Police While Protesting Nomination Of Gina Haspel

in #cia7 years ago

Oh, but she promised today she won't ever do anymore torture stuff...

I hope McGovern sues the living daylights out of everyone involved in this assault, and that they are both civilly and criminally held liable for what they did to this courageous hero!

Sort:  

Me too. He is the absolute embodiment of patriotism and kindness. There are not enough people like Ray on this earth. Absolutely horrified at what happened today, but it is really business as usual in the sense of total evil being in power no matter who is elected President.

"Make America Gullible Again."

I'm at a bit of a loss with the uproar at the Gina Haspel appointment.

(totally agree with you on the issue in this post, btw)

Anyone thinking that any government agency in the world , for the last 200 years doesn't do horrible shit to people they see as enemies, is living in a dream world.

So I understand the point - but don't quite get faux moral outrage.
Is it because there is a 'target' to aim at?(her).

Whatever she has done in terms of causing suffering on another human being, it pales into insignificance when compared to drone bombings, depleted uranium weapons used in iraq...contaminating water, wrecking hospitals...the list is endless...and all of them a lot worse than any one persons actions.

An interesting paradox.

Government agencies did and do nasty things to citizens, let alone 'enemies' - that's not the point.
The uproar is about a known torturer and therefore criminal being openly appointed, with much peer and legislator support, to the premiere US spook cabal - themselves a criminal entity.
But what can you expect when the Commander in Chief himself not only promoted torture but even promised to ramp up the severity.
As a related point, the latter is also a crime, nationally and internationally, and I believe runs afoul of the RICO act. All the would-be impeachers make a great fuss and accomplish nothing, when such opportunities are right in front of them.

I don't think its a paradox. I view her as simply part of the swamp. The entire CIA needs to be dismantled, in my honest opinion, as they have been responsible FOR DECADES for much of the bad things you describe. They have been the PROXY ARMY of the globalists and the oil powers, and a very real enemy of freedom, the Constitution, the people, and the republic.

I agree with all you say, but doesn't change why the uproar on one specific person, is all.

I don't know that we know there would have been any less of an uproar over anyone else they might have nominated. The CIA (THANK GOODNESS) seems to be finally be under some serious public scrutiny. I truly believe we need to have a national conversation about what their role is (v. what it SHOULD BE) and see if they are even needed anymore.
