On today’s show, John Kiriakou will walk you through what it was like to be recruited (out of the blue) by the CIA, his training, and their attempt to recruit him into their enhanced interrogation program.
Things were going well until he was accused by ABC News of being one of the torturers of Abu Zubaydah, who was waterboarded. When John went on TV to defend himself and told Brian Ross about the program, which by then was declassified, someone in the CIA decided to silence him.
Join us as we hear John Kiriakou’s incredible story. How the CIA used the FBI to spy on him—an American citizen and patriot—in an effort to silence an enemy of the Deep State.
Tune in to hear how someone in the CIA urged the Obama administration to reopen his case, how the FBI launched a secret surveillance on him, tried to entrap him into committing treason, and when that didn’t work, used their bottomless prosecutorial checkbook to try to bankrupt him.
You’ll hear eerily similar tactics being used in the Mueller probe to force witnesses to do their will.
You’ll also hear who in the CIA had targeted John Kiriakou for silencing.
Then be sure to join us next week as we continue our discussion and take a deeper dive into the Deep State.
Part 2 of our interview with John Kiriakou will air the weekend of June 23/24. Show page for Part 2 is here.

I so wished I wasn’t hearing this, but it is as I have suspected all along.
We all know the famous quote by Lord Acton.
But do you know what followed that single line we know?
“Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men, even when they exercise influence and not authority: still more when you superadd the tendency or the certainty of corruption by authority. There is no worse heresy than that the office sanctifies the holder of it. That is the point at which . . . the end learns to justify the means.”
