“Epstein LIES!” - CIA John Kiriakou ERUPTS on Satanic Elite, Mossad & Most STUNNING Files | 388

Guest: John Kiriakou  ·  Host: Joey Def, Julian Dorey

John Kiriakou, a former CIA officer, returns for a wide-ranging conversation dissecting the newly released Epstein documents and their implications for intelligence services, banking elites, and political figures on both sides of the Atlantic. The discussion moves from lighter personal anecdotes about internet fame and Hollywood cameos into a dense examination of Kathryn Ruemmler's thousands of emails with Epstein and her ties to John Brennan, Alan Dershowitz's combative media appearances, Les Wexner's finances and mysterious tax advisor, Peter Mandelson's fall in the UK, and Prince Andrew's entanglements. Kiriakou argues Epstein was almost certainly an intelligence asset—he now leans toward Mossad or a looser multi-agency arrangement rather than a formal employee relationship—and traces Epstein's origins through Iran-Contra figures like Adnan Khashoggi and Douglas Leese. He also lays out why he believes prison surveillance failures make Epstein's death plausible as either suicide or something engineered, drawing on his own federal prison experience. Later segments cover newly surfaced emails linking Epstein to Peter Thiel, Steve Bannon, Brock Pierce, and Israeli security personnel installing systems in Epstein's apartment, plus a closing detour into reported plans for an imminent US strike on Iran. Throughout, the host and guest speculate openly about compartmentalized intelligence failures, blackmail motives, and institutional cover-ups spanning multiple US administrations and allied governments.
