John Kiriakou: Exposing Epstein, Mossad, CIA Torture & the Blackmail Playbook

2h26 | 10/02/2025

Description

In this explosive episode of the Truth Hurts Show, Brian and Makan sit down with John Kiriakou, a former CIA agent turned whistleblower, who risked everything to expose one of the darkest chapters in American intelligence history.

Kiriakou takes us deep inside the world of espionage — from close calls with death in war zones, to the disturbing reality of CIA torture programs and black sites. He opens up about his role in publicly confirming the use of “enhanced interrogation techniques”, the political backlash that followed, and how his moral line cost him everything — including his freedom.

But that’s just the beginning. Kiriakou also shares shocking claims about Jeffrey Epstein’s possible ties to Mossad, and how blackmail may have been weaponized at the highest levels of power. Plus, hear how this ex-operative applied CIA tactics to survive prison, and what he learned about government, justice, and personal integrity along the way.

This is the interview the intelligence community doesn’t want you to hear.
