Ex-CIA Officer John Kiriakou on the Truth About Iran, False Flags, and What’s Really Happening in DC

“The only apparent consultation that was taking place was with the Israelis. And the Israelis really, really wanted this to get done. So why would you, as a practical matter, need to consult other countries? Because there is this sense, like, as an exceptional nation, we don't need anyone's permission to act. At the very least, you're gonna want political cover. You're also gonna wanna give them an opportunity to come up with plan b for their, let's say, oil or gas needs or transportation issues.”

“I've never believed I don't think any CIA officer, past or present, believes or has believed that the Iranians were anywhere near a nuclear, weapon. They don't have a delivery system that could deliver a nuclear weapon to The United States. And, you know, when you've got two national intelligence estimates, a national intelligence estimate is a sense of the entire intelligence community, all 18 organizations within The US Intelligence Community, unanimously concluding that there is no Iranian nuclear weapons program, twice.”

“Afghanistan produces 93% of the world's heroin. Almost all of that heroin goes to Iran and Russia, and we want them to be addicted to heroin. It weakens their societies, and I never got it published. Well, fast forward years later That's disgusting. We've got a fentanyl epidemic in this country. That fentanyl is coming from China and Mexico. They want us to be addicted to fentanyl because it weakens our society, and that's why we're in the predicament that we're in.”

“The CIA doesn't care about stopping the flow of drugs. They just don't care. You know, this this wonderful show on Netflix, Narcos? Yes. So in seasons one and two, just as the DEA is gonna go in and grab Pablo Escobar or grab the gentleman of Cali, the CIA station chief comes in and just screws the whole thing up. That's in that show because that's what happens in real life. The CIA at the time cared only about communism and stopping communism. And if the drug cartels were gonna tell the CIA where the communists were hiding, then the CIA was a okay with drug cartels.”

“Why would a president believe a foreign intel agency before his own? I don't know. That's really the $64,000 question. You you recall in the in the first term when president, Trump met with, Vladimir Putin. He did not take his intelligence people into the meeting with him. Putin took his intelligence people into meeting with him because the president said he trusted the other side's intelligence people more than he trusted his own. I'm surprised that that feeling, that belief has held over all this way into the second term where you would believe the Israeli information before you would believe your own people's information.”

“The MEK hires some of the most high powered lobbyists in Washington to get them off the terrorism list. And they engaged with both Democrats and Republicans. I mean, everybody from from Howard Dean to Rudy Giuliani. Howard Dean was lobbying for MEK? Oh, yeah. And Rudy Giuliani. That's pathetic. You should see the pictures of them together. It's sickening. At these big banquets in Washington to raise money for the the people who tried to kill the US ambassador? Mhmm. But they're the good guys now.”

“Their priorities become our priorities, and all of a sudden, they're our only friend. And you can't tell me that's accidental. That's right. They're literally our only friend, and they're not a they're not a friend. They have a much longer term view of these things than we do. They they began to try to implement this policy in the sixties, and it finally came to fruition. It's prime minister after prime minister after prime minister cultivates not just American political figures, but but wealthy American Jews and says, look, you know, we've got a lot of lobbying to do.”

“You're gonna have to tear the place down to the studs, and you're gonna have to enact real controls. I'll give you an example. This may sound silly, but I think it's important. When I first joined the CIA, I had literally no idea the political views of the people that I was that I was working with. No idea. I think that to reform the place, you have to tear it down and then rebuild. And you have to have real rules that are really followed that you just cannot be political.”
