Think of it this way, a car owner takes his car to a repair shop and finds out that there are more things wrong with his car than he first thought. The mechanic explains what needs to be done to repair the car and tells him the consequences of not doing the work. He decides to have some of the recommended work done and drive the car anyway. If the brakes are shot he definitely will have them fixed but may put off much of the other work. If the mechanic is saying to flush the transmission fluid and the owner decides not to do this, he may not share this with his family unless it is to explain to them that he needs extra funds to pay to do the work. The owner has the right to fire the mechanic and do what he thinks is in his and his family’s best interest.

這樣想吧,一個(gè)車主把他的車開(kāi)到維修店,發(fā)現(xiàn)他的車出了很多問(wèn)題,比他最初想的要多。維修工向他解釋修理汽車需要做什么,并告訴他不做這些工作的后果。他決定完成一些推薦的維修項(xiàng),還是要開(kāi)車。如果剎車壞了,他肯定會(huì)找人修理,但可能會(huì)推遲很多其他的工作。如果維修工說(shuō)要沖洗傳動(dòng)液,而車主決定不這么做,他可能不會(huì)告訴家人,除非他向他們解釋,他需要額外的資金來(lái)支付這項(xiàng)修理費(fèi)用。車主有權(quán)不用維修工,并做他認(rèn)為對(duì)自己和家人最有利的事情。

The owner in this metaphor is the President and the mechanic is the CIA. If anyone paints this relationship differently, they don’t know what they are talking about.
This is from someone who has direct experience with the CIA and held a top secret Q clearance for over 20 years.

這個(gè)比喻中的車主是總統(tǒng),維修工是中情局。如果有人用不同的方式描述這種關(guān)系,那他們就不知道自己在說(shuō)什么了。
這是一個(gè)和中情局有直接經(jīng)驗(yàn)的人寫的,他持有絕密Q權(quán)限超過(guò)20年。

Ask Willie Clinton. He wanted all the CIA files on JFK’s assassination and whatever they knew about UFOs. He was told to take a hike.
If you ever see the interview with Haldeman where he admits to blackmailing the CIA on Nixon’s behalf, it becomes clear that the CIA is no longer accountable to anyone but themselves.

問(wèn)威利·克林頓。他想要中情局所有關(guān)于肯尼迪遇刺的文件,以及他們所知道的關(guān)于UFO的一切。有人叫他滾蛋。
如果你看過(guò)對(duì)霍爾德曼的采訪,在采訪中他承認(rèn)代表尼克松勒索中央情報(bào)局,很明顯,中央情報(bào)局不再對(duì)任何人負(fù)責(zé),只對(duì)他們自己負(fù)責(zé)。

The CIA is directly controlled by the President. No doubt he receives a report from them every day, but the President decides what to do about the contents of the report. Do you really believe he behaves as he does because a quiet, secret, stealthy organization wants him to?

中情局由總統(tǒng)直接掌控。毫無(wú)疑問(wèn),他每天都會(huì)收到他們的報(bào)告,但該如何處理報(bào)告內(nèi)容由總統(tǒng)決定。你真的認(rèn)為他這樣做,是因?yàn)橐粋€(gè)安靜、秘密、隱秘的組織想讓他這樣做嗎?
