CIA whistle blower John Kiriaqou talks to Fort Collin Community Action Network about his experiences working for the CIA and offers a fascinating look inside federal prison.
It's sad to me that he was edged out of the intelligence community and maligned on phoney charges, he's the kind of person I want working for my country.
A very informative presentation. What is disturbing is the fact that he is basically stating our federal government "IS" a criminal enterprise. He covers all of the traits associated with that fact such as the elimination of Due Process, convicting people of "Intent" to commit a crime when no intent was present, the "willful" and with intent to break International Law by government officials, and Crimes against Humanity. In other words, our government "decides" it's prerogative to operate legally or not with no accountability to anyone. The mere fact these facts are ignored by Federal Judges is a sad indictment of America's jurisprudence. Normally I'd want to see all the court documents in his case, but I've seen too many cases to know this behavior is somewhat common today. Kinda reminds me of pre-war conditions in Germany, and that in itself is a dreadful thing to contemplate.
I was with this gentleman right up until the story about prison. So he thinks torture is unethical, which I agree with, but call him a rat, and all cards are off the table. Sending in an organised crime boss to do over someone who called him a rat. But member of ISIS etc should be treated with ethics. Does this not sound odd to anyone or am I just not reading this right?
Catholic ethics? Surely you jest. I went to a Jesuit University, Ethics was part of the Philosophy curriculum, but after the hx of abuse and the ongoing criminality, I wouldn't trust Catholic ethics these days. In my opinion, much of the fallout for your actions stems from the Military Industrial complex, as Ike so wisely warned us about. Thanks, John. I'm a whistle-blower--it's very lonely, but with us, we can't stay silent--that isn't in my genes. You story needs to be told and re-told and...
On a different show John tells that Rat story completely differently, completely differently. Perhaps some things he says are true but I think he changes them to include himself.
Wowwwww. this is gut wrenching. this country has a lot of problems and to put a spot light on things such as this, we are forced to open our eyes and realise this entire set up isnt at all what we thought. but can some of us even handle the real truth???????
I just got done viewing part one and now this part just loaded. My question was, does he consider himself as someone with sociopathic tendencies? He was willing to get a prisoner a prostitute, he was willing to lie under oath to get a lesser sentence, so does he consider himself as someone who is morally compromised?
and one more thing every judge in in evolved in the sentencing off thees real deal humans - shud be prosecuted them selfs just on having fuck all comensence .
So he's fine with hunting down people, killing random people, using murderers in prison to defend him....but torturing those same guys for information - unethical??
Pedophiles in prison?? Only the ones with affection, the killers of kids roam free... Got to wonder Why mentally sick people are in command, contami-Nation!
Khum Dhan, he is a very sharp individual with a lot of information, so I guess we never really know. But if he is lying or putting on a show, he does a damn good job...
Khum Dhan you're not the only one. He's half truths and half lies. Case in point, he's standing by 9/11 was done by Osama and the Taliban. He knows 100% that's not true.
The CIA spotter who recommended this guy did a great error. This guy is fit for story telling. He wants terrorists to be treated with kid gloves. He is defending Snowden and confessed writing to him so that part should be investigated and charges be brought against him ASAP.
Thank you, John. For your courage, bravery & honesty. You are a gem in a million. ❤️
They need to make a movie out of this guy
maybe a series... he has a lot of stories to tell
"Silenced" is the movie
7 years ago, and when you put this in today's context, it kind of illuminates things a bit, doesn't it?
It's sad to me that he was edged out of the intelligence community and maligned on phoney charges, he's the kind of person I want working for my country.
I agree
wolfumz Definitely agree with you Him and Bernie Sanders are the type of leaders we need in this corrupt nation.
wolfumz . The world is upside-down, starting with the "States". Hard to say, of America... United? Not at all.
Agreed.
That’s exactly why he’s an enemy of the state!
Thank you John. For your courage, bravery & honesty. You are a gem in a million. ❤️
John Kiriakou another hero on my list, thanks for this excellent video.
Extraordinarily fine presentation. BIG THANKS to FCCAN, wish we had something this fine out of Chicago
Great and Thanks for this Video.
Good video, good audio, even in Q&A, good content .. rare on YT !
That was great. I learned more than I ever knew about the CIA. (And a sort of wish I hadn't.)

Stress conditions and water boarding were involved in my SERE. It's a little annoying when the VA denies claims basic claims, much less PTSD.
Does that guys shirt really say "government is how we do together what we can not do by ourselves" lmaoooooo my god
very interesting

27:10 sure af they did it and you know it John ;)
They spelt his last name wrong
28:45 - Ladies and gentlemen, the new Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, Gina Haskell.
Revelation explains all this
Why does no one mention Susan Lindauer?
The corruption seven years later is coming to a head. I'm glad the Italians took care of this man
Clean the swamp?!!
and one more thing every judge in in evolved in the sentencing off thees real deal humans - shud be prosecuted them selfs just on having fuck all comensence .
If you're aware enough you know that this is a story that is deeper then what he is saying! specially when he states vote for Bernie.
Italians...!
The catholic church and ethics?
So he's fine with hunting down people, killing random people, using murderers in prison to defend him....but torturing those same guys for information - unethical??
I really like John. But….. when started spouting off support for, Bernie Sanders(!) of all people. He dropped a few cool points in my opinion.
Pedophiles in prison?? Only the ones with affection, the killers of kids roam free...
Got to wonder Why mentally sick people are in command, contami-Nation!
So who is still proud to be an American?
Me.
A lousy 11k views in 15 months shows the lack of interest in Our civil-rights.
i dont think Kiriakou is being 100% truthful...well hes a spy, waddya expect?
am I the only that thinks this guy is off a little.
as if he's not telling the truth and he's putting on an act.
Khum Dhan You're the only one.
houston2k he seems like he's a plant
Khum Dhan, he is a very sharp individual with a lot of information, so I guess we never really know. But if he is lying or putting on a show, he does a damn good job...
Some of his facts are not accurate, you're not the only one.
Khum Dhan you're not the only one. He's half truths and half lies. Case in point, he's standing by 9/11 was done by Osama and the Taliban. He knows 100% that's not true.
Nooooooo. Bernie Sanders???? My god. Welp, BYE!
