Thank you John. One of a kind

[@javierloya4086]

Thank you very much John for revealing the truth about the CIA and the Iraq war. You are a man of integrity and courage, which I think that the people in the CIA and government are neither.

[@moto2kx2]

JOHN; Thank You for your service to the American Peoples. You are fulfilling your dream of this "type service" to full capacity! Cheers! :-)

God bless every whistle blower that comes forward... I pray they all take the leap of faith and spill every rotten secret that these people have performed so our country can usher in a new age.

Define 'Demand Justice' because to me nothing short of putting the lot of them behind bars will suffice.

President Cheney did enormous harm with power.

A word about secrecy. The government reserves the right to use secrecy for, “National Security”. What Mr. Kiriakou did was to exposed what was illegal. The government was using the cloak of secrecy to hide it from the citizenry because they might object. The Trans-Pacific-Partnership, the TPP, was a corporate effort to write and get passed legislation that could potentially harm the American public all the while maintaining strict secrecy. Their justification was that if the American public was informed of what was in the bill, it would never pass.. Apparently corporations have the right to secrecy and they enjoy the protection of government who is complicit. Paradoxically, The American people have no right to privacy because it might be construed as secrecy and secrecy implies illegal behavior. The excuse is that once online, we give up that right. We lose all right to privacy once we go online. But the government goes online..Corporations go online and expect privacy,...But not the public. To add insult to injury private companies have the right to harvest our personal data and Share it with trusted 3rd party partners” What the fuck does that mean? It means, other businesses, police and government.. Once a company purchases information from Microsoft, The data becomes proprietary property even though it is information about you and I.. There is no way to purge false data about yourself. What Mr. Kiriakou alludes is spreading to the public at large. It promises to go way beyond Orwell's predictions.

It's like "I can't even pay attention to what you're saying because you're so damn good looking." 😂

I have first hand account my friend was a Marine order to evacuate Iraq civilians from there homes.he carried small ak47 to plant in dead civilians hand and take pics of anyone refusing to leave there homes. also an air strike he witnessed on whole village after a soldier was blun up

_"The CIA, Joint Chiefs and State Dept didn't want to; but, being good soldiers, saluted anyway."_ WOW. One crime after another. Think how much worse this is than, "we were misguided" ... and yet, the real crime? This has 4100 views. Do people not want the truth? It's not like the CIA can just tell KZbin to ensure no one's feed ever suggest this to them. I've watched Valerie Plame's movies (eg: Fair Game & Countdown to Zero (which she partially hosts or is interviewed throughout Countdown to Zero, which is an EXCELLENT film) which she was forced into as I think the CIA essentially burned her. I really love Kiriakou ... and wish he had a daily-show on YT (or that his RT show were more accessible by my so-called freedom loving nation).

[@strabo1st]

maybe we are rare but some do care about the truth.

I bet Chelaby was a British asset, having lived in Jordan,. Tony Blair pushed WMD.

[@taradeleeuw2344]

I am certainly a skeptic ,I do believe he worked for the CIA

[@sdramos27]

The person Mr. Kiriakou refers as Joe Wilson, who confirmed that Hussein had not purchased or did not have yellow cake and whose wife Valerie Plamme was destroyed after is Richard Clark and not Joe Wilson.

[@electronicsunshine]

it's joe wilson. you must be drunk.

[@taradeleeuw2344]

I don’t believe this dude
