Of all the whistle blowers who appear in the media, Kiriakou was the only one who was willing to talk to me. He even had me on his show a few times. I tried to get him some consulting work in Korea and got him published. Neither of us could save each other. He was kind enough to take my son out to lunch last year in Arlington. He was very kind to my kids when we're in DC. He was subject to all sorts of personal harassment, including having trouble seeing his kids.
If only the tables could be turned on those who performed the torture. I feel that way about anyone who sadistically tortures children, I feel that way about animals and I certainly feel that way about politicians and presidents and their faithful henchmen who carry out these horrific acts. I grew up in an era where a taste of your own medicine was had prescription with endless refills. Granted it wasn’t anything like water boarding but as a kid you got the message loud and clear. “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you”. I think there’s a lot of people who would love to see Obama get a taste of his own medicine and would pay to hold the watering can mimicking a faithful Gunga Din, a poem which ironically is from Rudyard Kipling’s, Barrack-Room Ballads.
those of us who have been whistleblowers standing up for the vulnerable know that this is the pattern repeated over and over, and though we have suffered, speaking the truth allows us to keep our heart true to the God who created us and to those we serve, who those in power regularly abuse, exploit, and use for their own benefit
THE SNOWDEN PROBLEM: Working Holes in the Narrative
1. The Resume
Nobody climbs from high school dropout to NSA systems administrator in eight years on merit alone. That career arc requires sponsorship. The question is who sponsored it and why.
2. The Getaway
He exfiltrated classified material from a SCIF in Hawaii, flew commercially through Hong Kong, and landed in Moscow without being intercepted. Active NSA credentials. No rendition attempt. The US government that drone-strikes wedding parties couldn't stop one contractor at an airport.
3. Moscow
The FSB does not run a bed and breakfast for Western defectors. Twelve years in Russia, still giving keynotes via telepresence robot, still married, still monetizing his brand. What is he providing in exchange for that arrangement?
4. The Document Management
Chelsea Manning dumped everything raw. Snowden handed curated documents to pre-selected journalists who then decided what the public needed to know. That's not a leak. That's a managed release with editorial gatekeepers.
5. The Funding Chain
The Intercept was funded by Pierre Omidyar, whose foundation networks overlap substantially with State Department "civil society" infrastructure. The journalists who received the documents were already operating inside a specific ideological and financial ecosystem before Snowden contacted them.
6. The Tools He Endorsed
Tor: developed by the US Navy. Signal: seed-funded through the Open Technology Fund, a US government grant vehicle. Tails OS: vulnerability disclosures were slow-walked for years. Every tool Snowden told the privacy community to trust has a government fingerprint somewhere in its lineage.
7. The VPN Boom
The consumer VPN industry did not exist at scale before 2013. Post-Snowden it became a billion-dollar market. Multiple VPN providers that surged on the back of that fear cycle were later caught logging everything or traced to intelligence-linked holding companies in places like Israel and the British Virgin Islands.
8. What Was Not Revealed
The leaks told us architecture. They told us program names. They told us nothing actionable about who specifically authorized what, where the real decision nodes sit, or what the programs that didn't get a PowerPoint slide look like. The things that would actually hurt someone were not in the documents.
9. The Post-Snowden Reforms
The USA FREEDOM Act, sold as the legislative response to the revelations, consolidated bulk collection under a more legally defensible framework. If the goal was accountability, the outcome was the opposite.
10. The Oliver Stone Problem
The intelligence community has destroyed people for far less. It did not destroy Snowden. It gave him a book deal, a documentary, and a biopic. The most reasonable explanation for why a system that crushes real threats left this one intact is that he was not a real threat.
the thing with kiriakou is that his recent exposure in social media (namely ig reels and tiktok) make what he's saying seem super disingenuous and lowk like its a psyopp
I am learning.There is a dark side there to everyone. It is really a shame. I had a lot of respect for Obama until I read this. It is such a sad and scary time that we live in.

Northrop F-5 Tiger Freedom Fighter
The Northrop F-5 is a family of supersonic light fighter aircraft initially designed as a privately funded project in the late 1950s by Northrop Corporation. There are two main models: the original F-5A and F-5B Freedom Fighter variants, and the extensively updated F-5E and F-5F Tiger II variants.

i need to talk to you. i need to show you something major I discovered totally on accident. send me a message on session. it's gotta be encrypted.
he's one of my personal heroes. you are too bro.
In my career, I rarely met any CIA folks worth their salt
A few, though, were outstanding
Their primary nmethods were brutal and gave worthless results
I chose psychological approaches to interrogations which were very effective
My DCS was designed to replace the CIA, but I misjudged their political power.
So, they’re still running our Intel Community, and I’m not!

I've heard him say you get more info with a cigarette and a soda. Torture horrific
Look at the most famous Whistleblower of our time, Snowden. I would like to read your analysis of Snowden.
story reads too much like a hollywood movie. seems scripted. seems like a cia honeypot to get people listening to an engineered hero.
Ed Snowden's story a Hollywood movie? He's a political refugee living in Russia branded a traitor by the entire government spying on all of us...

yep. that's how psy ops work. there is a reason they are called 'intelligence assets' and 'intelligence agencies' because they are 'intelligent'.
Water boarding used to be called “ducking” before the CIA was a named entity
The CIA killed JFK with help from Mossad particularly it was hg bush at cia
the thing with kiriakou is that his recent exposure in social media (namely ig reels and tiktok) make what he's saying seem super disingenuous and lowk like its a psyopp
hey john
ODNI - the CIA - and the FBI - create a program to recruit
and then do election fraud and interference
with 30 honey pot schemes -
I worked on it - and then some of the team tried to frame me -
then they framed US senators - ran for office based on the easy money and corruption.
You know the OP? Benny (the Mentor) Wetmore and Stanley... (cia cut out).
Can you comment? 2005-2023
I am learning.There is a dark side there to everyone. It is really a shame. I had a lot of respect for Obama until I read this. It is such a sad and scary time that we live in.
Curiouser and curiouser. No culprits to be seen here, none there ... but one.
