• ¿Con qué autoridad moral pueden hablar de derechos humanos los gobernantes de una nación en la que coexisten el millonario y el mendigo; se extermina al indio; se discrimina al negro; se prostituye a la mujer; y se desprecia, explota y humilla a las grandes masas de chicanos, puertorriqueños y latinoamericanos? ¿Cómo pueden hacer esto los jefes de un imperio donde se imponen la mafia, el juego y la prostitución infantil; donde la CIA organiza planes de subversión y espionaje mundial, y el Pentágono crea bombas de neutrones capaces de preservar los bienes materiales y aniquilar a los seres humanos?

• El espionaje nunca es cosa de risa. Y, de hecho, no se trata de una cuestión política. No quiero confundir esto con las idas y venidas que podamos tener sobre cuestiones económicas o cualquier otra cosa. Ahora se trata de una cuestión de seguridad nacional. Y me parece muy aterrador que Donald Trump esté animando a cualquier potencia extranjera a violar una campaña e intentar influir en el resultado de las elecciones.

• There was an intervention of the foreign states in the Russian Far East, Archangel of the West border of Russia. The foreign troops were participating in the attempts to stamp out the revolution.
