#11 Inside the CIA: Whistleblowers, War Crimes And Blind Spots with John Kiriakou

01 Jun 2025

Description

In this powerful follow-up episode, whistleblower and former public servant John Kiriakou returns for an unfiltered conversation about suppressed documents, flawed systems, and the cost of telling the truth. John shares firsthand stories from his time on the ground — including encounters with sealed archives, global conflict zones, and systemic failures that keep the public in the dark. From Afghanistan to Yemen and Somalia, this episode pulls back the curtain on stories few are willing to tell. Topics include: • Whistleblower retaliation and legal gaps in protection • The overlooked truths buried in national archives • Modern drone warfare and gamified combat • Unreported global conflicts and shifting power structures • Why unchecked authority threatens real transparency If you're seeking a rare, grounded perspective from someone who's lived it — this is a must-listen. #JohnKiriakou #Whistleblower #AandMPodcast #HiddenFiles #BuriedTruths #Unfiltered #TruthTelling #DroneWarfare #NationalArchives #Accountability #RealStories #IndependentVoices #Declassified #RedSeaCrisis #ModernWarfare #censorshipdebate #podcast #newepisode #thoughts #warfare
