All depends on the perspective of what a friendly country is. If you regard everyone as being potentially unfriendly from one overseas administration to the next. The spying on Merkel being the most notable of recent times. I’d be surprised if there weren’t hefty files on Starmer and Macron.
@jimobrien691against a known iran-backed terror group, Hezbollah, hijacking the Lebanese government and the legitimate Lebanese military, sure 👍. But I get it.. Firing missiles into the only functioning liberal-like democracy in the region year in year should have no retaliatory consequences
There are absolutely other intel agencies that would burn assets including their own people if the mission warranted it. Just one classic example is the allies let the Nazis round up and kill 50 of our undercover agents in Holland during WWII. They had broken the German codes and knew these arrests were imminent and could have protected them but that would have given the secret away that they had their codes. Those people were sacrificed for the greater good as we say. Yes, this type of operational protocol is not new and certainly not isolated to one government.
Sounds like the master of B/S. Mossad are next level, but he's as bitter as it can get, and he's biased and strongly opinionated without good reasoning...
"...the hotel couldn't even get [the locked door] open. They ended up sending somebody in from the balcony." If you could get in from the balcony, you could get out from the balcony.
He said none of them was picked up on cctv is a lie dude they had most of them on cctv and they even showed how they literally came from like 10-12 different countries just to do the hit.
Why couldn’t the hotel get the locked door open? Hotel staff have master keys and can always open the doors in case of guest emergencies, cleaning etc…
It was shameful behavior and we will pay for it. Americans seem to have an easy time forgetting about it, but others don't. Israel will have the same problem.
If this guy was cia, our country is in terrible trouble. We're weaker than we ever were than we could even imagine. This guy was disgustingly horrible at lying. This almost felt like a hoax.
What he said needs some amplification. We don't necessarily knowingly spy on them but we accidentally do. So in order to keep all this mucking about in the dark, stay dark, we bury it under sources and methods and that FOIA request for brand of foot powder Lee Oswald used gets bumped back another 2 generations.
Precisely. Keep in mind this guy has done a long "journalism" stint for Sputnik News which is a Russian government propaganda outlet. You know: the Russians, the FSB formerly the KGB, Vladimir Putin, people Ukrainians have a bit of an issue with these days, etc. Presumably as pure as the wind-driven snow which must have attracted Kiriakou to work for Sputnik and lend it legitimacy.
“No other intelligence service would send a recruited asset to his death like that” bruh, the CIA recruited Joseph Allen back in 2009 and sacrificed him on his first op lmao
The US government taught Central Americans how to torture and intimidate in the School of the Americas. And the torture that went down in Guantanamo? The US is every bit as bad, just a little more covertly. Anyway, we're now sending innocent people to Cecot prison in El Salvador. That's a torture chamber.
No other intelligence service would be so open about sending an asset to their death. To just say that out in the open, makes people not want to work for you. To say that out in the open must mean that you've been so desensitized to it and uncaring about it, that you MUST be doing it quite often.
@greenman7437 I mean if ur talking to someone whos a leader in a secert service then im not suprised even if most dont say it openly, its numbers on a chalk board. we will never hear about the vast majority of burned assets simply because of the nature of the job. is what it is all do it and they do it to their own. working for the secret service means u are an expendable asset that can be burned at any moment. its why I would never recomend anyone ever take a position as a spy if given the opertunity. my dad was a long time soldier and high ranking by the time he left. when he left he was offered a position he declined because he knew the costs of getting to be a "spy" its glamour from the outside and thats it.
Yeah, the guy even says that the hotel people had to go in through the balcony (which sounds kinda bs too, but he said it anyway). So the hotel guys could go in through the balcony, but the Mossad agents couldn't go out? Not a very bright CIA operative, IMHO. (If he really was one).
This guy does not appear credible and I genuinely do not believe any “former” spooks will tell you anything real besides harmless and contradictory information. Nearly all of them sell books and courses too 😂. Close to Nothing they say is importantly of value or credible. They are not allowed to.
I belieave anything they say about Mossad, If they put this pager story on a Movie y would say: NO SHIT, stop lying that Impossible ! And is possible and cound be done ... God knows whats SHIT this bastards have prepared in anticipation....
@LesleyDT6227 Unless you read books and newspapers that previously exposed this program and operation to the public long before John Kirkakou joined the CiA.
Does anyone really believe that an 'Ex-CIA' official would be allowed to publicly 'come clean' with accurate and consequential information? This guy is so suspect.
Once your contract is up, regardless of where in the government you worked, the only thing you're not allowed to do is discuss classified information. He didn't share anything that isn't already public domain. That's what these shills do. They claim to have life changing information, get all this attention, then tell you stuff that's been one google search away for the last fifteen years.
@richardfritz9898 was that after trying magnets ??? 😂😂😂. Can you imagine 4 agents standing around the door with different size magnets scratching their heads.... 😂😂😂
@williamb5388 I think they may have reconstructed the door and it's mechanisms back at Langley or some such thing like that. But about the balcony thing, that would be the first guess. It was obviously wrong😅
There’s actually a trick used to lock and unlock a hotel door I have seen. It’s a wire about 3ft in length with a bent loop at the top and is similar to a coat hanger to unlock a vehicle.
He meant they had to go i. Through the balcony to unlock a door that he couldn't figure out how they locked. Still a stupid statement considering everyone locks the door with the latch and doorknob from the inside
A lot of the shit blamed on CIA is Israel like Iran Contra for example. CIA is as corrupt as it gets but Mossad is WAY worse and the CIA hasn't engaged in false flag terrorism as much as Mossad by a fucking LONG shot! Quit obfuscating! MOST of the terror in Latin America blamed on CIA was Mossad. Check out Mike Harari if you don't believe it. He terrorized Central America and Panama most of which was blamed on CIA but it was not, it was Mossad and don't say "it was a joint CIA/Mossad Op" which is a Zionist cope or propganda. It was Mossad ALL the way! Even Reagan wrote in his memoirs that "Israel was the instigator and prime mover of the Iran-Contra affair." You go down most terrorist rabbit holes and you find a Zionist at the bottom almost EVERY time. These people haven't been hated by LITERALLY every society on the planet for nothing. Even blacks who were hated here in America in the 60's had countries they could go to where they weren't hated. But you can't say that for Jews and Zionists. Judaism is a supremacist, genocidal ideology. This is not a new problem for the world. CIA as corrupt as they get are boy scouts compared to Mossad. 90% of the overt corruption in US politics and the Western world is because of these crazy zionists.
For the first time I heard John lie.. when he said,The US could never put cameras around the whole country!! I just left Depot, as the FLOCK cameras took my license plate. There ever where people.😂🤦♂️
@RicArmstrong Even in my rural town they got a couple. Can't trust em (and many are open to the general public via website too for anyone to run data collection on).
@RicArmstronglots of freeway overpasses have cameras to monitor license plates and weather conditions, too. Most ring cameras are accessible to law enforcement as well.
He said 300 people died in the attack on Nasrallah's bunker. In fact, 33 people died in that attack, the vast majority of them were senior Hizbullah leaders. So that puts his BS meter at exactly 89% bs, at least with this one story. Which is easily verifiable. I wonder how much "creative liberty" he takes with stories that aren't that easily cross checked.
He was a low level operative in CIA ...probably a janitor in CIA building ,America has savant genius computer nerds so does China , Russia India doing sh*t the Israelis only dream about thats a 3.5 billion pool of people to choose from & isreal has 7 million .
@Gary-v7jwhy don’t you do some research before making baseless claims? He was involved in the capture of Abu Zubaydah and interrogation. Just became a whistleblower on use of torture and water boarding. Spent time in prison for that.
John Kiriakouv is a former CIA officer. He served as a counterterrorism operations officer and intelligence analyst from 1990 to 2004, including roles in the CIA's Counterterrorism Center where he led the 2002 raid capturing Abu Zubaydah in Pakistan. After leaving the agency, he became a whistleblower, publicly confirming the CIA's use of waterboarding in 2007, which led to his 2012 conviction and 30-month prison sentence for disclosing classified information, including the identity of a covert officer.
yeah he is good in disclosing classified like in this interview he mentioned about a ".....facility / underground /dubai / siemans / german / imax clarity / display large....
He represents the liberal, left wing faction of career DC employees who benefited from the system, violated the system of the trust they were given at some point and now hopes to profit from it online while pointing fingers.
Yeah, a string or elastic band or some sort of flexible loop… Something like that could linger on the inside of the door just as you’re closing it and as it swings or twists something you can pull it through leaving no trace… it’s not out of the realm of possibility
@Krichnu Yes and they also had a policy of bombing entire wedding parties (killing hundreds of civillians) in order to take down a few low level insurgents.
@Krichnuthey had a policy to drop two nuclear bombs on women and children to force the country to surrender, which is the textbook definition of terrorism
@Krichnu No doubt Mossad is WAY worse but CIA has done suspect shit since its inception. Mossad is a terror organization more than an intelligence agency. The irony is that they're not very intelligent.
It depends on the type of balcony. Some would require scaffolding or crane. If it's a balcony like that, then there's no way Mossad used crane on covert operation.
@charles_umerie this isn't what happened. The room the hamas arms dealer was staying in had no balcony, so he was wrong about that. He purposely got a room with no balcony to safeguard himself for a situation exactly like that because he knew mossad was trying to kill him most likely.
You couldn't figure out how they got the door locked from the inside? But they eventually found out how to access the dead body via the balcony? Does that give ya any clues? Lol
Bombing a military bunker built under a civilian building complex isn’t a war crime. But building a military bunker under civilian structures and putting civilian lives at risk? That’s a war crime. As for the shepherd, I couldn’t find any article, video, or documentary about what you described. I did find quite a few reports about shepherds who were caught after crossing the border from Lebanon. A rookie Mossad agent would’ve arranged a public “accident” for the shepherd and made sure he ended up in the hospital with a broken arm and leg. And another thing: Unit 504 handles collaborations near the border fence, not the Mossad.
@daman-ep3rv yep. They couldn’t save him, he got killed in the crossfire. He wasn’t Palestinian he was Lebanese. Had he refused to join the Palestinians crossing the border he would have been killed by their hands,his fate was sealed.
I couldn’t believe he claimed balming that bunker was a wore crime. 🤦🏻♀️ And then completely lied about the casualties. According to Lebanon, 11 were demised and 108 injured. He also neglected to mention six other commanders were demised in that bunker as well.
The U.S. didn't, FJB underlings did. The obama holdovers. I'll bet FJB didn't even know obama's crew pulled out and gave Bagram to china. I wonder how much HUNTER SMOKES CRACK made on that deal. MAGA 4EVA
As the greatest power of the world has ever seen should do, but yet America is not running an ethnostate that rapes and kills children and then gloats about it like Israel
@5:20, You just know this guy is FOS when: 1. He starts to talk about the Dubai underground facility 2. Checks himself on air (yeah, uh, I really should not talk about that) 3. Proceeds to talk about it anyway (and says who built it) 4. He is grinning/laughing the entire time
@Norie92 - You would have to ask them. But my guess is that they found it funny that he was elaboring on information he was supposed to keep to himself.
@Sarcasmarkus so you would like trafficking American kids let alone kids from all around the world? You do realize they do that right. CIA and Mossad are the biggest child traffickers and organ traffickers. CIA is the biggest funder of cartels. Mossad's and CIA's proxies are the head chopping ISIS and Al Qaeda. Btw hamas was lobbied into power by Israel but hamas has always been against ISIS and Al Qaeda
Not only Dubai has enormous cameras but also microphones and listening devices embedded on intersections, parks and residential street blocks everywhere.
He isn't a narcissist. He was a damn good officer. Nobody is perfect, and take everything they say with a grain of salt, because any book they ever want to publish has to be reviewed and vetted, same with public speaking, do bear that in mind and be more reserved in your judgments of the man.
@jeffsyg In his defense, you have to be a bit much to work at CIA - you have no idea the general variety of personalities that work there - John is fairly tame in comparison to others - add in the rest of the DoD - and you would probably be shocked.
Hahahahah you wouldn't believe your doctor if he told you your heart is beating and gave you his stethoscope. Low iq thinks everything is a conspiracy 😊
@TheAceofFatethe only things you hear are the things they want you to know. 3D chess lad. You think sentences for prison time are real? Everybody cuts a deal and then of course they own your ass for the rest of this life.
Mossad cares about Israelis and Jews in the diaspora. and your Islamist leaders? look at the leaders of Hamas and look at Gazans....the wife of Sinuar has 2 billion USD while Gazans are suffering like dogs with flees all because of the Jihadist....the more civilian casualties the better for the cause...ARE YOU PROUD OF THAT? of course you are....your prophet a warlord and a pedophile....Look at Jesus all love and peace, forgiveness and humanity....your prophet exactly the opposite.....the IDF is the re incarnation of the crusades warriors
@JoshSteinberg-f2dsaid Josh while Qatar and other golf countries, Islam, is buying US universities, American influencers, American companies and politicians. New Muslim mayor in NYC. Stick with conspiracy theories until reality will come for you and when it come it will not be Jewish.
@hankleigh9356 Some might call him a hero and say that he was only charged because he aired the CIA's dirty laundry - which was that the US was torturing people - but idk.
@genevagardner2876They're often made by hand for the specific type of door/lock, so it's not really an invention of a single tool that would have a specific "invention date."
"Decapitating Hezbollah was a war crime" because of the civilians killed? No. Building the Hezbollah military command-and-control bunker under civilian apartment blocks was a war crime by Hezbollah. Doing so does not grant you immunity from attacks.
@Karen-dk1ecconsidering the Israeli Vampires IDF 🇮🇱 using the Hannibal Directive killing their squatter 🇮🇱 civilians to blame it on Hamas .. The Sick 🤯 & depraved 🤯 Squatter Vampires 🇮🇱 will kill everyone to hide their evil pedophile behaviour and committing Oct 7 for a distraction .. The reason why the Vampire IDF 🇮🇱 are kidnapping children 🇵🇸 & their hands in chains !
This “CIA agent” cites an unverified number of 300 people killed during the assassination of Nasrallah. Lebanon never issued any estimate even remotely close to that figure. Not to mention it was the Hezbollah HQ - most the people killed there were likely Hezbollah combatants.
This “CIA agent” comes across as either intellectually lazy or deliberately deceitful. Given his role and org affiliation, I’m leaning toward the latter. For the record, once civilian infrastructure is used for military purposes, as Nasrallah did with his bunker, it loses protection under the Law of Armed Conflict. See Additional Protocol I, Article 52(2) and 52(3).
I "deployed' to UAE a few times. The first was about 2007 and I worked a little with Blackwater on base. Their command post on base was like that back then. It just covered the base but literally dozens of monitors that circled movement in red. Every couple 100 meters they had machine guns on posts controlled with a joystick from that command post. It was like minority report and this was back in 2007.
Yes but NOBODY does more spying, infiltrating or other governments and betraying allies as much as Israel has. Even Iran Contra blamed on CIA was a full blown Mossad op. Even Reagan wrote in his memoirs that it was their op blamed on CIA. I don't trust Reagan but this happened to be true and he resented them for it cause it made him look bad not cause he was a good guy.
John Kiriakou: The United States doesn’t spy on friendly countries.
Edward Snowden: Hold my beer.
He's CIA. He's lying. Trump had Angela Merkel's phone tapped.
The leading power will always keep an eye on everything and everyone. It relies on the world to behave so it can keep its current objectives active.
All depends on the perspective of what a friendly country is. If you regard everyone as being potentially unfriendly from one overseas administration to the next. The spying on Merkel being the most notable of recent times. I’d be surprised if there weren’t hefty files on Starmer and Macron.
@GPS2cashThe world doesn’t behave, that’s why they do what they do. That being one of their objectives.
🍻
I don't believe anything until the government denies it.
As good an indicator of the truth as anything , 😂😂
From what government? Or, because you can't handle the truth?
LOL
Should never have given Gaza full independence from Israel and clearly the Israelis honoured their side.
@4evertrue830that is because most people in the US believe the US is the best in everything
when the mossad put bombs in pagers on the manufacturer level, i then realized they're really different 🤣🤣🤣
I mean, Jews are heavily involved in every industry on the earth, so I'm sure they find their way.
Absolutely a terrorist attack…
@jimobrien691against a known iran-backed terror group, Hezbollah, hijacking the Lebanese government and the legitimate Lebanese military, sure 👍. But I get it.. Firing missiles into the only functioning liberal-like democracy in the region year in year should have no retaliatory consequences
1970 Olympics said it all. They never stopped until the job was done.
@jimobrien691 what was?
The way they got that door open is the same way they locked that door.
Touché
The thin man did it. Squeezed right under the door.
shhh...you dont reveal Magicians secrets
With a key😂
Seriously, he's like "we have no idea how they did it... Anyway, the hotel went in through the balcony."
This has to be a lie. It makes no sense.
The irony is not being able to trust either mossad or CIA 😂
They have serious jobs to do against a ruthless enemy, can't blame them
@BrianCox-n1uu can spy on me but I can't one u plzzz jew dont lie to urself.
Touché 🥃💯
@BrianCox-n1uThey(CIA&MOSSAD) are the enemy of the world and enemy of the US
There are absolutely other intel agencies that would burn assets including their own people if the mission warranted it.

"No other agency would burn a source ..." come on! what a whopper!
Brown non-chocolate, infantile whopper...
I almost spit my drink when I heard that.
welcome to the CIA......
Sounds like the master of B/S. Mossad are next level, but he's as bitter as it can get, and he's biased and strongly opinionated without good reasoning...
@dosawoc Because John left the CIA, the CIA put him in prison.....
"...the hotel couldn't even get [the locked door] open. They ended up sending somebody in from the balcony."
If you could get in from the balcony, you could get out from the balcony.
He said none of them was picked up on cctv is a lie dude they had most of them on cctv and they even showed how they literally came from like 10-12 different countries just to do the hit.
I was waiting for someone to figure that out.
Why couldn’t the hotel get the locked door open? Hotel staff have master keys and can always open the doors in case of guest emergencies, cleaning etc…
@roodog430 Yeah, you're right, that did sound like BS.
The USS Liberty attacked by Israel aircraft to cover there ongoing operation, Many sailers died.
Never knew there are so many experts on the CIA in a RUclips comment section.
American dad taught me everything…
@blakedurdle6644💀
It's likely they are the CIA.
It’s all good, there’s an entire city in Europe, all they do is track people.
Nuke..
They were tariff experts six months ago
Americans burned hundreds of assets in their fight against taliban after using them for 20 years.
Most were exicuted, very few surviving now.
- Thanks for remembering what is now just another lost statistic.
America doesn't care about it's assets. Note Biden's withdrawal from Afghanistan. Foreigners are crazy to help U.S. forces and face betrayal..
It was shameful behavior and we will pay for it. Americans seem to have an easy time forgetting about it, but others don't. Israel will have the same problem.
trumpstein
Americans do some things very well.
1) Lose Wars
2) Abandon those that help them
3)
4)
...... Feel free to add more!
"the hotel had to send someone in through the balcony. I don't know how Mossad did it"......REALLY?😂
Very ignorant comment, view the footage before you comment
If this guy was cia, our country is in terrible trouble. We're weaker than we ever were than we could even imagine. This guy was disgustingly horrible at lying. This almost felt like a hoax.
@CooloutAClol
They must have a tool to do it it can't be dat hard when they got all kinds of tech
😂 exactly
"We don't spy on each other in the 5-Eyes". LOL! Horseshit.
Theyre watching him right now.
@ShadowSpirit-h4q5 eyes don't spy on each other too deeply he means intruding . For far away they spy like what the others are up to .
This was one of the founding reasons.
Each country spies on the others' citizens, so no law is broken.
What he said needs some amplification. We don't necessarily knowingly spy on them but we accidentally do. So in order to keep all this mucking about in the dark, stay dark, we bury it under sources and methods and that FOIA request for brand of foot powder Lee Oswald used gets bumped back another 2 generations.

3:17 I think he means Iranian not Israeli scientists
He is a moron thats why
He had a brain fart.
Yeah, how many Iranian Jews do you know 😂 it’s hard to keep that straight
Definitely had Israel on the brain.
He misspoke. He has MDS.
“The US would never have a policy like that” 😂😂😂😂 yeah right bruh
Ask the Japanese in Hiroshima and Nagasaka about that? LOL
Hahaha
@jeffsor47 yes, but both bombs were invented by Jews, American and German Jews. And some probably from the UK too.
Yeah, the US blew up those drug smugglers in their boat and the Vice President was gloating about it.
P
“No other intelligence service would send a recruited asset to his death like that” bruh, the CIA recruited Joseph Allen back in 2009 and sacrificed him on his first op lmao
Call of Duty
No Russian
And it wouldn't be Mossad running operations like that. It would be the Shin Bet. It's all bullshit.
Zionist genocide supporter detected.
So what ?
" Bro thrust me.... "
Yeah what intel out there is not "bro trust me"? Give me just one.
Lmao this guy clearance is so high that he doesn’t even know who CIA spies on
A lot can change in the 21 years since John has been in the CIA.
He doesn't have clearance anymore, he is a convicted traitor
@hankleigh9356 what country was he working for?
12:41
@RequiredhandleCMHe was the head of US Counter Terrorism in Afghanistan....he's the guy that blew the whistle on the US torture/kill practices.
"The USA will never have a policy like that"
Yeah, it's even worse
"The Mossad is bad! The CIA is good (today) but I'll get back to finger-pointing at my former employers tomorrow."
No body’s as bad as them. It’s their forte.
The US government taught Central Americans how to torture and intimidate in the School of the Americas. And the torture that went down in Guantanamo? The US is every bit as bad, just a little more covertly. Anyway, we're now sending innocent people to Cecot prison in El Salvador. That's a torture chamber.
What goes round comes around....
USA’s more brutish, less smart.
How’d they do that? They rented the room next door and came in through the balcony. Same way the guy that opened the door did genius.
They didn't
Or someone with a base jumper parachute. Different ways to do this.
They teleported.
Door latch/ they usee a very strong industrial magnet. I believe.
“No other intelligence service would send an asset to their death like that” right 🤣
No other intelligence service would be so open about sending an asset to their death. To just say that out in the open, makes people not want to work for you. To say that out in the open must mean that you've been so desensitized to it and uncaring about it, that you MUST be doing it quite often.
@greenman7437 I mean if ur talking to someone whos a leader in a secert service then im not suprised even if most dont say it openly, its numbers on a chalk board. we will never hear about the vast majority of burned assets simply because of the nature of the job. is what it is all do it and they do it to their own. working for the secret service means u are an expendable asset that can be burned at any moment. its why I would never recomend anyone ever take a position as a spy if given the opertunity. my dad was a long time soldier and high ranking by the time he left. when he left he was offered a position he declined because he knew the costs of getting to be a "spy" its glamour from the outside and thats it.
That's what I thought
Jajaja😂
@greenman7437depends how mission critical you are
They left via the balcony.
So fucking funny 🤣🤣🤣
@Kx0195🤯🤯🤯🤯
😂
There's a trick to that
Yeah, the guy even says that the hotel people had to go in through the balcony (which sounds kinda bs too, but he said it anyway).
So the hotel guys could go in through the balcony, but the Mossad agents couldn't go out?
Not a very bright CIA operative, IMHO. (If he really was one).
11:18 we literally did. Snowden revealed that we listened into Netanyahus phone.
obama burned Netanyahu and told the world Israel took out Syrian S-300 systems.
@richardcranium6791
Obama also sold Iraq to Iran
This guy does not appear credible and I genuinely do not believe any “former” spooks will tell you anything real besides harmless and contradictory information. Nearly all of them sell books and courses too 😂. Close to Nothing they say is importantly of value or credible. They are not allowed to.
they opened the window up in that hotel room and climbed out
Mossad is the most feared and professional ‘agency’ in the world . The ‘ pager’ event is the example.
the pager "operation" was a terrorist attack on civilians
I belieave anything they say about Mossad, If they put this pager story on a Movie y would say: NO SHIT, stop lying that Impossible ! And is possible and cound be done ... God knows whats SHIT this bastards have prepared in anticipation....
Don’t forget the walkie talkies a few days later lol
@khuntasaurus88 Only if you consider Hezbollah commanders and operatives "civilians".
A CIA guy claiming they would never spy on the Israelis. Sure.thing, bud. Sure thing.
That was the final straw for me - what a moron.
It could be cause the leadership is Israeli citizen too
sure thing bud, but JFK would disagree
In his defense, he’s been out of it awhile. They screwed him, ruined his life and sent him to prison.
@anthony312 The CIA leadership are Israeli citizens?
Apparently John Kirkakou never heard of the CIA's Phoenix Program in Vietnam or Operation Mongoose in Cuba.
It’s all segmented. Need to know. If you do not have any need to know you’ll never be made aware.
@LesleyDT6227 Unless you read books and newspapers that previously exposed this program and operation to the public long before John Kirkakou joined the CiA.
or giving just random people lsd, not even assets, just randos, then hiding the records
Does anyone really believe that an 'Ex-CIA' official would be allowed to publicly 'come clean' with accurate and consequential information? This guy is so suspect.
Once your contract is up, regardless of where in the government you worked, the only thing you're not allowed to do is discuss classified information. He didn't share anything that isn't already public domain. That's what these shills do. They claim to have life changing information, get all this attention, then tell you stuff that's been one google search away for the last fifteen years.
Nope. This guy has an agenda: smear the best agency on the planet. They probably didn't invite him to the party😂
He got sent to jail by the CIA.
Valid point. 🤔
What secrets did he divulge? duh??
Why the giggle fit I feel like I’m missing something lol
After listening to the guy, I get the impression that the CIA is a 3rd world spy agency.
Probably full of woman and libs
😂😂
They’re not their world they just have to play by American rules and laws. The Mossad doesn’t have to play by any rules
You believe anything he says. Sounds like he kinda works for Mossad now 😂 he'd have every reason to if you know his backstory
You should listen to the book Legacy of Ashes
when their eyes light up and they laugh after he says "underground" I totally laughed with them. So much fun
he explained it and didn't realize. they came from the balcony.
Yeah. I’m sure the CIA agent, along will all of his spook buddies didn’t think of that…. I think you broke the case 🙄
@richardfritz9898 was that after trying magnets ??? 😂😂😂. Can you imagine 4 agents standing around the door with different size magnets scratching their heads.... 😂😂😂
There's footage of them entering the building
Nah watch the video that didn’t happen
@williamb5388 I think they may have reconstructed the door and it's mechanisms back at Langley or some such thing like that. But about the balcony thing, that would be the first guess. It was obviously wrong😅
There’s actually a trick used to lock and unlock a hotel door I have seen. It’s a wire about 3ft in length with a bent loop at the top and is similar to a coat hanger to unlock a vehicle.
"They sent someone in from the balcony........" but he can't figure out how they locked the door from the inside? 🤣
The problem with that is the cctv footage would've caught the assassin
4:47 You have sent someone from the balcony?! Mossad agent did that too😂
Yeah how did the CIA not pick up on that? Like wtf, a teenager could figure that out lol
Saying "how did he do that" while telling someone had to go in via the balcony is wild😂😂
obviously that door was locked and inaccessible.... smh
Because they didn't use the balcony
He meant they had to go i. Through the balcony to unlock a door that he couldn't figure out how they locked. Still a stupid statement considering everyone locks the door with the latch and doorknob from the inside
@tyrelltawzer9826 I know
@DA-lk5np How do you know ?Their guys went in that way too so why not?
5:53 ... Of course. Everything is paid in Dubai but they construct/invent nothing
He literally said…they have no where to go. Deeply profound statement.
They never belonged there.
@somcanaBible contradicts your statement.
@thatguy3468 Modern "israelis" have no connection to ancient israelites
@johnybzainamodern Jews are the same as ancient Jews. Get a life.
@thatguy3468
No it doesn't. God took it from them remember?
Why was it that God did that? You remember??
Him: "how did they do that?"....... Also him: "they ended up sending someone in from the balcony"
I definitely understand why does he a FORMER agent, but I can't understand why CIA had him in the first place.
😂
Though maybe they would see him/her in a CCTV
CIA saying that Mossad is so devious and so radical - that’s great CIA - I guess looking in the mirror first isn’t a thing
Especially if you know something is capable of smashing it! You might be looking over your shoulder for that one.
topic is about mossad not CIA if you want people trash talking CIA go to other videos you people are so dumb
@Krichnuhi dumb, he kept saying “Mossad is most ruthless” etc, how does that not already compare with CIA, dumb?
A lot of the shit blamed on CIA is Israel like Iran Contra for example. CIA is as corrupt as it gets but Mossad is WAY worse and the CIA hasn't engaged in false flag terrorism as much as Mossad by a fucking LONG shot! Quit obfuscating! MOST of the terror in Latin America blamed on CIA was Mossad. Check out Mike Harari if you don't believe it. He terrorized Central America and Panama most of which was blamed on CIA but it was not, it was Mossad and don't say "it was a joint CIA/Mossad Op" which is a Zionist cope or propganda. It was Mossad ALL the way! Even Reagan wrote in his memoirs that "Israel was the instigator and prime mover of the Iran-Contra affair." You go down most terrorist rabbit holes and you find a Zionist at the bottom almost EVERY time. These people haven't been hated by LITERALLY every society on the planet for nothing. Even blacks who were hated here in America in the 60's had countries they could go to where they weren't hated. But you can't say that for Jews and Zionists. Judaism is a supremacist, genocidal ideology. This is not a new problem for the world. CIA as corrupt as they get are boy scouts compared to Mossad. 90% of the overt corruption in US politics and the Western world is because of these crazy zionists.
@Krichnu the guy talking is cia...
Quite the talker...for an agent..
My thoughts, exactly!
Americans talk too much. They give away the plot.
@kitty_love777 Sorry akhmed, I don't need Uber or Instacart delivery right now.
זה היה מופע כזה.
@Toadsquared2 He is a disgrace.
5:08 Not true that none of them were picked up. The Dubai police figured out the entire plot and showed all the agents being tracked.
This guy is fake or the CIA hires idiots
Former CIA
For the first time I heard John lie.. when he said,The US could never put cameras around the whole country!! I just left Depot, as the FLOCK cameras took my license plate. There ever where people.😂🤦♂️
Populated areas yes, but most of America is rural.
@RicArmstrong Even in my rural town they got a couple. Can't trust em (and many are open to the general public via website too for anyone to run data collection on).
@RicArmstronglots of freeway overpasses have cameras to monitor license plates and weather conditions, too.
Most ring cameras are accessible to law enforcement as well.
@Kowzorz
Yeah, but a couple in your little town is not covering the majority of the area.
@T-dx8dn
Again, a few examples doesn't mean the majority of rural areas are covered by cctv.
Nice Podcast! Thanks!!
LOL
About 70% of this conversation was fairytales, unsubstantial BS and hearsay
Like this comment.
98%. On Nasrallah-event, his nose grew an inch, so bad was his lie.
He said 300 people died in the attack on Nasrallah's bunker. In fact, 33 people died in that attack, the vast majority of them were senior Hizbullah leaders.
So that puts his BS meter at exactly 89% bs, at least with this one story. Which is easily verifiable.
I wonder how much "creative liberty" he takes with stories that aren't that easily cross checked.
Lol, a bit like what your avatar represents? But perhaps the percentage is actually more?
He was overstating the casualty count of 33 deaths and 195 injuries when the residential building over the facility was struck.
Lolololol. “We don’t spy on the Israelis.. we’re not allowed!” Hahahahahahahah. Oh man, I nearly spit out my coffee.
He was a low level operative in CIA ...probably a janitor in CIA building ,America has savant genius computer nerds so does China , Russia India doing sh*t the Israelis only dream about thats a 3.5 billion pool of people to choose from & isreal has 7 million .
@Gary-v7jwhy don’t you do some research before making baseless claims? He was involved in the capture of Abu Zubaydah and interrogation. Just became a whistleblower on use of torture and water boarding. Spent time in prison for that.
the us congress were in israel paying homage about a week after this comment lol
The USA spies on everyone-allies and enemies like other countries.
@Gary-v7j He was Chief of Counterterrorism in Pakistan after 9/11, you 🤡. I hope that someday you’re able to resolve your insecurity.
6:56 how did he listen to the operator saying “the ambulance is on the way”?
This is all BS
Good interview, good questions, and your depth of knowledge, history of events, is rather good
John Kiriakouv is a former CIA officer. He served as a counterterrorism operations officer and intelligence analyst from 1990 to 2004, including roles in the CIA's Counterterrorism Center where he led the 2002 raid capturing Abu Zubaydah in Pakistan. After leaving the agency, he became a whistleblower, publicly confirming the CIA's use of waterboarding in 2007, which led to his 2012 conviction and 30-month prison sentence for disclosing classified information, including the identity of a covert officer.
yeah he is good in disclosing classified like in this interview he mentioned about a ".....facility / underground /dubai / siemans / german / imax clarity / display large....
He has no loyalty to Dubai….
It’s underground - you’d never find it. Its plans would never be available to anybody else ever.
@sabareerangaraj5347 Not a US facility, and there is a lot of "underground" in Dubai...
A man with an axe to grind then. Democrat?
If this guy represents the CIA... We are in trouble ..
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Kiriakou
He’s “former.”
You clearly don’t know this guys history.
He represents the liberal, left wing faction of career DC employees who benefited from the system, violated the system of the trust they were given at some point and now hopes to profit from it online while pointing fingers.
He doesn’t strike me as cia he’s weird
The door lock trick is pretty simple, actually. I refuse to believe they couldn’t replicate it.
Damn bro you’re smarter than the whole CIA 😮
the problem is the latch, not the lock
How did the hotel staff get into the room? Through the balcony.
John: I have no idea how mossad got into that room
🤷♂️🤔🤣
Yeah, a string or elastic band or some sort of flexible loop… Something like that could linger on the inside of the door just as you’re closing it and as it swings or twists something you can pull it through leaving no trace… it’s not out of the realm of possibility
@ersh2k4they use string
I just caught this for the first time and I’m hooked!!
"The US would never have a policy like that." Shut up dude.
did they have a policy to kill 14 scientists in other countries? tell me bro
@Krichnu Yes and they also had a policy of bombing entire wedding parties (killing hundreds of civillians) in order to take down a few low level insurgents.
@Krichnuthey had a policy to drop two nuclear bombs on women and children to force the country to surrender, which is the textbook definition of terrorism
@Krichnu No doubt Mossad is WAY worse but CIA has done suspect shit since its inception. Mossad is a terror organization more than an intelligence agency. The irony is that they're not very intelligent.
@Krichnu read about their exploits in south America and what they did to black activists, and the black community in general
"We couldn't figure out how they locked the door, so we had a guy go around through the balcony." ---Think ya solved your own mystery there my friend.
A duh moment . Those darn window cleaners did it again 🙄
It depends on the type of balcony. Some would require scaffolding or crane. If it's a balcony like that, then there's no way Mossad used crane on covert operation.
@charles_umerie this isn't what happened. The room the hamas arms dealer was staying in had no balcony, so he was wrong about that. He purposely got a room with no balcony to safeguard himself for a situation exactly like that because he knew mossad was trying to kill him most likely.
Scary information on the UAE
Yeah, C.I.A., Mossad..heard/read something like that before. But that one about the U.A.E....
You couldn't figure out how they got the door locked from the inside? But they eventually found out how to access the dead body via the balcony? Does that give ya any clues? Lol
I was thinking the same thing lol
Bombing a military bunker built under a civilian building complex isn’t a war crime. But building a military bunker under civilian structures and putting civilian lives at risk? That’s a war crime.
As for the shepherd, I couldn’t find any article, video, or documentary about what you described. I did find quite a few reports about shepherds who were caught after crossing the border from Lebanon.
A rookie Mossad agent would’ve arranged a public “accident” for the shepherd and made sure he ended up in the hospital with a broken arm and leg.
And another thing: Unit 504 handles collaborations near the border fence, not the Mossad.
I remember seeing a mossad documentary where the story was told.
@daman-ep3rv yep. They couldn’t save him, he got killed in the crossfire. He wasn’t Palestinian he was Lebanese. Had he refused to join the Palestinians crossing the border he would have been killed by their hands,his fate was sealed.
💯
I couldn’t believe he claimed balming that bunker was a wore crime. 🤦🏻♀️ And then completely lied about the casualties. According to Lebanon, 11 were demised and 108 injured. He also neglected to mention six other commanders were demised in that bunker as well.
Palestinians have a right to defend their buildings and homes.
“How’d they do that?”
LPL: Hold my Chablis
Give us a break, this guy is full of it. In Afghanistan, when the US left, it left behind its assets and information about its personnel.
Nope it left shit that needed to be replaced
People made money
@johnx4181he is talking about the people. Afghanistan was an illegal mining operation disguised as a military operation.
He is only against Israel and play along to confirm the worldview of those anti Israel viewers
Zionist genocide supporter detected.
The U.S. didn't, FJB underlings did. The obama holdovers. I'll bet FJB didn't even know obama's crew pulled out and gave Bagram to china. I wonder how much HUNTER SMOKES CRACK made on that deal.
MAGA 4EVA
it is astonishing john kuriakou wondering how they closed the door from inside. It is simple local authorities cooperate.
But America spied on their allies, just look into the Inslaw case.
As the greatest power of the world has ever seen should do, but yet America is not running an ethnostate that rapes and kills children and then gloats about it like Israel
Merkel's cell phone ...
@5:20, You just know this guy is FOS when:
1. He starts to talk about the Dubai underground facility
2. Checks himself on air (yeah, uh, I really should not talk about that)
3. Proceeds to talk about it anyway (and says who built it)
4. He is grinning/laughing the entire time
Can you elaborate? I'm totally confused as to why they were laughing
@Norie92 - You would have to ask them. But my guess is that they found it funny that he was elaboring on information he was supposed to keep to himself.
Being in the agency sounds stressful
& fun
@Sarcasmarkus so you would like trafficking American kids let alone kids from all around the world? You do realize they do that right. CIA and Mossad are the biggest child traffickers and organ traffickers. CIA is the biggest funder of cartels. Mossad's and CIA's proxies are the head chopping ISIS and Al Qaeda. Btw hamas was lobbied into power by Israel but hamas has always been against ISIS and Al Qaeda
Spies get off on baiting themselves with horrific consequences. Like cliff divers who intentionally rig their lines a bit sloppily.
Duh, ya think?
Sounds self-congratulatory to the point of being super gay.
What is John saying about the operation in Caracas?
Not only Dubai has enormous cameras but also microphones and listening devices embedded on intersections, parks and residential street blocks everywhere.
check ur pocket
If Israel is coming they don't care about you high quality cameras, they will still carry out their missions smoothly or even in the hard way
They went out the window, maybe??? LOL
Yeah, this guy is such dumbo
Not permitted my ass.
John is such a liar 😂😂😂
Intelligence work is the ability to counter a situation 2 step forward and make it like it never happened or (never planned)!
I can see why this guy is a "former" CIA agent
Absolutely
Excuse you, This guy is a hero, 20 years of service, Whistle-blower on the cia torture program do some reaserch.
i’m sure you’re much more fit to be an officer*, not agent genius 🤣🤣
9:51 not a very good liar anymore
This guy's vibe screams narcissism.
I can't believe him.
He isn't a narcissist. He was a damn good officer. Nobody is perfect, and take everything they say with a grain of salt, because any book they ever want to publish has to be reviewed and vetted, same with public speaking, do bear that in mind and be more reserved in your judgments of the man.
Yeah hes a bit much
@jeffsyg In his defense, you have to be a bit much to work at CIA - you have no idea the general variety of personalities that work there - John is fairly tame in comparison to others - add in the rest of the DoD - and you would probably be shocked.
Bro lies so damn much .
@Racerxx105About what? Be specific.
There is 2 rule in a fight/war when you need to survive ; one ) there is no rules
Two ) remember the first one
He is there to provide misdirection. This is ridiculous
Hahahahah you wouldn't believe your doctor if he told you your heart is beating and gave you his stethoscope. Low iq thinks everything is a conspiracy 😊
Hows that when everything he says is true? He went to prison for whistleblowing about shit the CIA was doing for fuks sake.
@TheAceofFatethe only things you hear are the things they want you to know. 3D chess lad. You think sentences for prison time are real? Everybody cuts a deal and then of course they own your ass for the rest of this life.
indeed
😂😂😂Well he didn’t really reveal any secrets. He is right about one thing though; Moosad Intelligence is very scary.
Kiriyaku - “The Mossad doesn’t care about anyone else but Israel.”
Greater insight may never have been spoken.
Mossad cares about Israelis and Jews in the diaspora.
and your Islamist leaders? look at the leaders of Hamas and look at Gazans....the wife of Sinuar has 2 billion USD while Gazans are suffering like dogs with flees all because of the Jihadist....the more civilian casualties the better for the cause...ARE YOU PROUD OF THAT? of course you are....your prophet a warlord and a pedophile....Look at Jesus all love and peace, forgiveness and humanity....your prophet exactly the opposite.....the IDF is the re incarnation of the crusades warriors
America only cares about America.
They were created exactly for that singular reason.
Then Israel doesn't need the American people's tax dollars, right?
Hello - they are Israelis, duh
He lose credibility when he says that CIA don’t spy on the Israelis, if you believe that you will believe anything.
they cant spy on their masters
@Jamahiryaoh stop it Greta
Edward Snowden confirmed the U.S. monitors Israel communications , leaked Pentagon documents confirmed theme U.S. spying on Israel.
Well Israel controls American politics so I’d believe it
@JoshSteinberg-f2dsaid Josh while Qatar and other golf countries, Islam, is buying US universities, American influencers, American companies and politicians. New Muslim mayor in NYC. Stick with conspiracy theories until reality will come for you and when it come it will not be Jewish.
5:28 I love the laughing part😂❤ so beautiful, really 🤗
Kiriakou is maligning mossad for sound bytes.
He might become food bites if he continues maligning Mossad
He's a traitor. Convicted felon
fk msd dogs of hell
@hankleigh9356 what are your feelings on water boarding?
@hankleigh9356 Some might call him a hero and say that he was only charged because he aired the CIA's dirty laundry - which was that the US was torturing people - but idk.
i'm pretty sure he cooked up a story about the facility he obviosly should not have mentioned...
I got the same vibe haha
No, they're called fusion centers.
And they're all over the united states too.
I've been to one of the fusion centers in Atlanta. They served pretty good Chinese/Mexican dishes.
@R.Merkhet😂😂😂😂🍽️
We don't know which center he was tinking of. Just saying.
4:15...Easy to lock the door from inside the room using an underdoor twist tool. Commonly used in physical pentesting.
Same thing I was thinking. This guy has to be stupid or thinks we’re all are
When were these tools invented?
@genevagardner2876They're often made by hand for the specific type of door/lock, so it's not really an invention of a single tool that would have a specific "invention date."
@TheSilvaSurfathe latter. This 'interview' is contrived..
Guess you're smarter than Mossad, right? You a very funny boy.
Is it possible that they went out through the vents or exited the door that’s connected to the next suite lol.
"Decapitating Hezbollah was a war crime" because of the civilians killed? No. Building the Hezbollah military command-and-control bunker under civilian apartment blocks was a war crime by Hezbollah. Doing so does not grant you immunity from attacks.
Oh, finally someone sets the record straight
You mean like when Israel puts military bases underneath hospitals?
@Fudz4explain to me how you got to this false conclusion
@Fudz4did you mean Hamas? they are doing it...unlike Israelis
@Fudz4ok Groyper
“They committed a war crime” you mean like the CIA and other agencies do regularly?
He thinks the CIA don't do bad stuff 😂
"...it's an issue of survival for them...they have NOWHERE TO GO..."
Wow...this statement right here...
They can move to Golders Green. Or Manhattan.
@osopapiyou can move to falsestine
they are everywhere, and some assholes think they have nowhere to go??
@sayyanobaray 109 right? you like to repeat that number. i wonder what it means...
@sayyanobaray that's their country where would the go exactly?
Is it safe to say if they had to open the room from the balcony that they locked the door from the inside and left from the balcony?
Killing Hassan Nassaralla with many civilians as collateral death isn't a war crime. No terrorist is to be allowed to hide behind civilians.
Only a psycho like you can justify that.
And he lied about the number of civilians death - 33 not 300
we have fallen so far I don't think we're climbing out.
Nah, Trump is fixing it.
@jeffsor47goy lord trump
is there a lighting problem on set.....it's like you use 1 25 watt bulb
What they do in the shadows… 😏
5:47 oooops lol 😂😂😂
The pager job was next level, respect..,
The cordless phone a couple days later too. Brillant operations to people, who deserves it after Oct. 7th.
@Karen-dk1ecconsidering the Israeli Vampires IDF 🇮🇱 using the Hannibal Directive killing their squatter 🇮🇱 civilians to blame it on Hamas .. The Sick 🤯 & depraved 🤯 Squatter Vampires 🇮🇱 will kill everyone to hide their evil pedophile behaviour and committing Oct 7 for a distraction .. The reason why the Vampire IDF 🇮🇱 are kidnapping children 🇵🇸 & their hands in chains !
Actually, I would hope that the CIA was as efficient, focused, and as ruthless as the Mossad.
Hope. Dream on…
Why does he start to laugh at 5:30? What’s funny about the underground facility?
I think because he wasn’t supposed to reveal Dubai has a underground security cctv facility
@juanitamora4456nah in that case it would have been cut out…
@Sympla40 I guess he said it vaguely enough that it didn’t need to be cut out
@juanitamora4456- I guess that he laughed because he realized he had been tricked into stepping on his foreskin(Heh-heh)...
I’m loving your channel! Keep up the great work!
Am Yisrael Chai! Ve”Kayam!
Big whoop, so does every other race
Puke, you and your country are globally hated
This “CIA agent” cites an unverified number of 300 people killed during the assassination of Nasrallah. Lebanon never issued any estimate even remotely close to that figure. Not to mention it was the Hezbollah HQ - most the people killed there were likely Hezbollah combatants.
This “CIA agent” comes across as either intellectually lazy or deliberately deceitful. Given his role and org affiliation, I’m leaning toward the latter.
For the record, once civilian infrastructure is used for military purposes, as Nasrallah did with his bunker, it loses protection under the Law of Armed Conflict. See Additional Protocol I, Article 52(2) and 52(3).
That's t3rr0rism.
Zionist genocide supporter detected.
He lied about the number - it was confirmed by Lebanon that 30 civilians not 300 died.
I guess he lied about other stuff too
I "deployed' to UAE a few times. The first was about 2007 and I worked a little with Blackwater on base. Their command post on base was like that back then. It just covered the base but literally dozens of monitors that circled movement in red. Every couple 100 meters they had machine guns on posts controlled with a joystick from that command post. It was like minority report and this was back in 2007.
Ask him about people accidentally falling from hotel balconies.
That would be a Russian signature
Lmao this is a load of BS of course we are spying on Israel everyone is spying on everybody we are not stupid Americans 11:34
Yes but NOBODY does more spying, infiltrating or other governments and betraying allies as much as Israel has. Even Iran Contra blamed on CIA was a full blown Mossad op. Even Reagan wrote in his memoirs that it was their op blamed on CIA. I don't trust Reagan but this happened to be true and he resented them for it cause it made him look bad not cause he was a good guy.
@Rumination_Vertex so let me get this straight, you are blaming an Intelligence Agency for being good at its job.
The MOSAD is on a different level than everyone else, but not because of the BS they said here.
Bcs they have no hearts u mean?
Children of the devil
totally agree
Only they are the Synagogue of Satan!
Yeah this guy is a traitor
Where does one or some apply for and pay for a permit to spy on Israel at?
4:37 let this sink in Kiriakou and maybe you will understand the "how" you wonder
Unless there's cameras where nobody is seen going through the balcony.
