By John Kiriakou / Consortium NewsIn the movie Network, newsman Howard Beale famously shouted (and made a living from it) “I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take it anymore!” That’s how I feel today. I hate the ugly, angry, and divisive politics of 2025. And I hate the two major parties that have been thrust upon us as the only choices we have. They’re two sides of the same coin, even if they pretend to be polar political opposites.

The author’s break with the Democrats began when Obama’s administration sought revenge on him for blowing the whistle on C.I.A. torture. Now he has many more reasons.

I saw a tee-shirt for sale on Facebook last week that made me laugh. It was from a libertarian group and it said, “Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms should be offerings at a convenience store, not a government agency.” I couldn’t agree more. I have never understood why we even have an ATF when the FBI investigates the same federal crimes within the same Department of Justice. I have several other problems with the ATF that are more serious than jurisdiction.

President Donald Trump on his first day in office revoked the security clearances of all 51 former CIA officers who had signed an open letter in 2020 claiming that the contents of the Hunter Biden laptop “carried all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.” The revocation hits some of the biggest names in the “former CIA talking head” industry, including former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, former CIA and NSA Director Michael Hayden, former CIA Director and...

CONSORTIUM NEWSTengo una política personal: no escribo cuando estoy enfadado por algún tema. Suelo escribir algo cuando estoy enfadado, lo dejo reposar un día, lo reviso y lo modifico, y luego publico algo de lo que pueda sentirme más orgulloso. Estoy enojado ahora mismo y he decidido escribir de todos modos. No es ningún secreto que le pedí al presidente Joe Biden que me perdonara por haber violado en 2008 la oscura Ley de Identidades de Inteligencia de 1981.

While extending it over his entire immediate family, a crooked judge and a slew of others. I have a personal policy of trying not to write when I’m angry about an issue. I’ll usually write something while angry, then let it sit for a day, revisit and revise it, and then publish something of which I can be more proud.

By John Kiriakou / Consortium NewsI have a personal policy of trying not to write when I’m angry about an issue. I’ll usually write something while angry, then let it sit for a day, revisit and revise it, and then publish something of which I can be more proud. I’m angry right now, and I’ve decided to write anyway. It’s no secret that I asked President Joe Biden to pardon me for my 2008 violation of the obscure Intelligence Identities Act of 1981. My case for a pardon was strong.
