John Kiriakou: Israel's negative influence on the U.S. national security state.

2022 Transcending the Israel lobby at Home & Abroad conference
March 4 at the National Press Club
John Kiriakou is an author, journalist and former CIA officer specializing in the Middle East. He was the first U.S. government official to confirm in December 2007 that waterboarding and other forms of torture were used to interrogate prisoners captured overseas. He was also the first CIA officer to be convicted for passing classified information to a reporter and served a 30 month prison sentence.
Since 2015 the annual IsraelLobbyCon conference series at the National Press Club explores the latest research, innovations and tactics for countering the Israel lobby’s damaging policies in the U.S. and around the globe. See www.IsraelLobbyCon.org for more information.

All Americans should hear this.

[@wofue3817]

@garygoodin1426 ...not only Americans, all over the World they should hear and learn it!!! 👍

[@jchapman8248]

A agree. Sadly, we won't hear about this on MSM! Mr. Kiriakou's accounts shed light on who our enemy really is and freedom loving Americans need be aware of this.

[@andrewvelasquez6906]

From 1990-2000, Palestine was united. 2005, palestine split into two. He speaks about eastern Palestine, which is not controlled by Hamas.

[@andrewvelasquez6906]

Well let me clarify, hopefully east Palestine is still like this. From recent and past interactions Western Palestine has not been to that description.

[@helenajennings4912]

Everybody around the world should hear this fellow 😊

[@mikestone9129]

John is a hero, an American that refused to be corrupted by those who thought they were above the law. He paid a terrible price for whistle blowing and was branded as a traitor. He is a rare breed in the intelligence field. I have huge respect for him.

[@tcm4721]

This fellow is a great speaker, I could listen to his stories all day. How can this only have 3.8k views?

[@ellisd3165]

because he is CIA and CIA is full of shit

Israelis are training US law enforcement also

[@MEGA1FILM]

So how will they treat US citizens ,, like palestinians

[@whispjohn]

In Britain too.

[@user-ti3vp9mt3z]

Yikes! Tell me more

[@Tshipa]

yeah right. Lets ignore the fact that the violent, racist US law enforcement brutality doesnt predate the state of Israel by hundreds of years 😂😂

[@jchapman8248]

That's what I heard! Explains why our LEOs look and act more like the military than actual law enforcement!

[@billparsons7765]

A great guy and am sure a great ‘performer’ as a CIA employee. No surprise about the behavior of our ‘allies’ from Israel or their powerful influence on all federal govt agencies. There should be no taboo to talk about that issue.

[@sunnyhill5119]

Anyone remember The USS Liberty?

You remember those IQ points you never had?

They run all security positions in the states & Europe too , checkout “ operation Talpiot “ the kill switch & theSamson operation , I’m assuming you know all about the attack on the ss liberty , when Israel attacked a nsa unarmed intelligence gathering ship that was listening in when Israel attacked Egypt

[@GoofyGooner626]

The algorithm needs to put this video out there

[@johnloftus6043]

I respect Mr Kiriakou, he is truthful and tries to to the right thing. For that, he went to prison.

[@RFKPeaceNIK19]

Mr. John Kiriakou knows Best.

[@kevmar2567]

Great talk.

[@leeriterii2128]

Thanks for the compassion felt throughout your presentation.

"We don't spy on the Israelis "?

[@jakobreichelt3089]

Respect! For you saying No.

[@user-ti3vp9mt3z]

So how does the CIA view human right, exactly?

[@mariannehartigan]

Israel is like Voldemort - he who shall not be named.

[@Louzahsol]

Nobody should be surprised by this

Very,very very interesting indeed aspect of white eurocentricismic colonial mighty might USA being openly exposed.

Conveniently, none of this can be contested by anyone. always remember, once a spy, always a spy

Absolutely spot on.

Im not shocked at all #freepalestine

[@jakecarlo9950]

Pretty funny when he mentions the PFLP, and there’s applause cause this audience is down… and apparently unconcerned that it was his job to ratfuck them, and he was emphatically not down. The kicker is when he called them ‘quaint’.

[@TheVeraciety]

He seems like the “aid and comfort” to our enemies sort of guy.

[@benz500r]

I can't believe he talks about that. Why can't he keep his mouth shut?

[@sunnyhill5119]

Why should he keep his mouth shut?

[@robertfrost137]

Kirakou is a charming speaker, but he offers these views without any substantiation. He could be right, but he could also be running an op.

[@TheVeraciety]

Exactly.

[@American-BadAss732]

It's really not a stretch to see how evil and manipulative aipac is

[@Louzahsol]

Dude literally went to prison for talking about the CIA.

Can’t handle the truth huh ?

[@ronaldshiffman9171]

I don't believe a word this guy is saying. Obama sent one of his election operatives to Israel to help with the campaign against Netanyahu, yet Kiriakou wants us to believe the US never spies on Israel? Total nonsense.

Free Palestine

[@ronaldshiffman9171]

Kiriakou is so full of crap. He says, 'The Shin Bet officer asks, 'Spell your name.' Then he asks Kiriakou, 'Are you Jewish?' Kiriakou says. 'I'm not recruitable.' First of all, I am surprised that the Israeli asked Kiriakou if he was Jewish during their meeting with the CIA. That seems like a crude question for a professional. Second, Kiriakou's answer seems very defensive. No one cares about his religion, but he actually never answered the question.

[@ngkngk875]

Dude stop your obvious shilling no one is buying it. At least provide valid criticisms

[@ronaldshiffman9171]

This is the stupidest talk I have ever heard. Kariakou does not tell us one detail about who these friends of his were and what they were doing in Israel. For starters, this 'harassment' which he alleges happened, is probably criminal to some extent (clear cut trespassing is probably a crime - even in the Jewish state.) Did his friends report this to the police? To the American embassy? Kariakou's story does not sound real. It sounds more like the plot of a spy movie. Kariakou should bring his story to Hollywood.
