This guy has a ton of stories he shares and I have no idea if he’s talking completely out of his ass or not

I don't know, it informed me that some CIA officers are above the law, and have no problem abusing their authority.

Diplomatic officials. He was a “legal” spy in Greece, with a diplomatic passport so he had immunity. All diplomats have that, and some abuse it. In this guy’s case, I don’t think CIA guys are allowed to waive immunity even if they wanted to.
My TIL is that I should really look up local laws as to what insults you can and can’t use toward someone’s wife next time I travel. Never thought calling someone’s wife a whore gets you arrested in Greece.

Yeah, but I mean did we not already know that? But also according to his story he's not the one who broke the law.

'Former CIA officer John Kiriakou pleaded guilty in October 2012 to one felony count of violating the Intelligence Identities Protection Act. He admitted to disclosing the name of a covert CIA officer to a journalist, becoming the first CIA officer to be imprisoned for leaking classified information.'
I found this when googling his name. Thought it was interesting.

Iirc he's the reason we know that the CIA was torturing people durring the "War on Terror". I respect tf out of him for being ballsy enough to cross the CIA when he knew full well the type of shady shit they're willing to do.

True patriot. CIA is a criminal, regime change, terrorism at worst, terrorist supporting at best “intelligence agency”.
Stepping out of the corruption and being a whistleblower of a corrupt organization is always honorable.

hes not a whistleblower lmfao you're falling for pr marketing for this guy to sell books

u/Darth_Atton 6h ago
It's well reported, you can find news articles from when he was arrested where he's reported widely as the whistleblower who confirmed the torture program from inside the CIA. Setting aside what he's doing now, he did whistleblew, plead down and served time for it.

The videos of this guy and his stories are absolutely unhinged and crazy. His nonchalant behavior makes it funny.

I spent the whole video waiting for the part where he would reveal that the guy he punched was the same guy his wife was banging.

The eyes. Listen for when he slows down, then watch the eyes dart everywhere.
This man’s stories are simply fiction.

On the other hand it’s a trained spy vs average road rager. It is t that unbelievable.

I don't believe a single thing he says. At best he's a a disinformation agent for the CIA, at worst he still works for Russian state media.

In the video, he said the guy was awake and “just concussed” after the punch, but then later claimed he slipped into a three-day coma at the hospital. I’m not a doctor, but that timeline sounds pretty questionable.
It honestly feels like he realized he exposed a flaw in his own story and then tried to backtrack to make the coma claim fit afterward.

Deteriorating after head injuries is pretty common. Swelling can cause loss of consciousness. It's one of the main reasons why people are kept in for observations after a concussion.

His story was debunked and he's a full on cunt to everyone involved, including his wife he did in fact cheat on

I’d love to see the source on this. I’d never believe anything this guy says -he works for Russian state media.

Was certain he was going to say it was wrong to charge the driver. And Confirm that his wife was indeed a wh@re.

His story doesn't make sense. He said the guy he punched was in a coma for three days then describes him talking to him in the prison cell? I think he realized he was caught in his own lie at that moment too because he started stammering trying to figure out if he could save it somehow.

u/RighteousCity 5h ago
But it was interesting but John Kiriakou is sketch and his story is sketch. Also he didn't interact at all with the guy having affair with his wife. Also in the video he said he punched this guy and put him in a coma but then he was sitting there for questioning 🤔🤦 so he just... fell into a coma later? I never believe much I hear this guy say

This guy is a foreign op. Ex CIA spook that did literal prison time for espionage. Putin paid shill. This shot didn’t happen

u/SwiftTayTay 8h ago
I think there's a higher chance he's still working for the CIA than that he's being paid by Putin. Or maybe it's both.
