The photo combo above shows the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein alongside some of America’s most powerful figures
Press TV – Dec 15, 2025
A CIA whistleblower says powerful figures in both major US parties are blocking the release of the unredacted Jeffrey Epstein files, as it would jeopardize entrenched interests.
Speaking on the latest episode of British journalist Afshin Rattansi’s Going Underground broadcast that was released on Monday, John Kiriakou said that the long-promised disclosure of the files related to the disgraced human trafficker and financier, who died in 2019, has stalled because it threatens individuals across the political spectrum.
He rejected the idea that the issue was partisan, saying sexual abuse and corruption stretched across both the Republican and Democratic strands of American politics.
According to Kiriakou, President Donald Trump has pledged to release the unredacted files, but has since hesitated, a reversal he linked to the scale of potential fallout.
He said there were “Democratic perverts, just like there are Republican perverts,” many of whom hold significant power, and that these figures had a shared interest in preventing the information from becoming public.
Kiriakou said he was pessimistic that the files would ever be fully released, citing bipartisan efforts to “kill this information” and make it disappear.
While acknowledging pressure from parts of Trump’s so-called “Make America Great Again (MAGA)” political base to honor the pledge, he argued that Trump appeared to believe he could withstand that pressure and outlast the controversy.

‘CIA running systematic propaganda operation through Hollywood’
In the same interview, Kiriakou stressed that the CIA was maintaining a dedicated operation to shape public perception through film and television, calling Hollywood a central pillar of US intelligence “soft power.”
He said the agency operated a unit within its Office of Public Affairs, whose sole task was to collaborate with major studios, ensuring that CIA-related productions delivered a positive portrayal of the agency.
While the American law supposedly prohibits the CIA from “propagandizing” the American public, Kiriakou said this restriction was routinely circumvented through entertainment media.
As an example, he cited Zero Dark Thirty – a 2012 movie purporting to portray a drawn-out manhunt for former al-Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden –saying the filmmakers had received classified briefings from CIA officials, arrangements he described as illegal and propagandistic. Rather than being punished, however, the film was celebrated within the agency, he added.
Kiriakou added that this media influence extended beyond cinema into the broader corporate news ecosystem, which he described as concentrated in the hands of a small number of conglomerates.
This, he said, leaves most Americans exposed to what he called a steady diet of intelligence-aligned narratives rather than independent journalism.
Really, with the way the world is, and with there being zero you can do to stop it, entertainment like the following becomes more attractive than the facts.
Today on “https://henrymakow.com/2025/12/dec-17—holocaust-reenacted-o.html”:
> Hamdy Mig–Of course, brother Henry. I documented some of the transfers for you initially. I received the full amount and spent approximately $1300 on food over two months or more. The remaining amount went towards arranging travel expenses for my sister, and we are now waiting for the Rafah border crossing to open so she can leave Gaza. Now I want to collect the funds for my own travel arrangements so I can leave with her or catch up with her if she leaves before me.
Today on “https://chuffed.org/project/161822-help-hamdy-miqdad-from-gaza”:
> My name is Hamdy Miqdad, I am from Gaza. Since the beginning of this war, I have lost everything: my mother, my brothers and sisters, my friends, and even my home. My entire world was destroyed in front of my eyes. One night, our house was bombed. My mother and siblings were killed under the rubble. I survived, but I came out to a life of emptiness — no family, no shelter, no safety. One by one, I also lost my friends to the strikes. Today, I am left completely alone.
Contradiction much?
Entertaining? You tell me…
We can’t handle the truth, it’s obvious.

The BBC is under fire again for “preventing” a popular Christmas song from getting to the top of the charts
The Pogues’ Fairytale of New York may be banned from reaching the number one spot this year after the national broadcaster is reportedly considering barring a “live” version of the song. This is due to the festive hit containing the words “cheap, lousy f****t”.An industry insider said: “It feels unfair that this live version, which shouldn’t be edited, has now been barred from the Beeb’s playlist. It’s an authentic performance of a much-loved track by a much-loved band and this move might be the measure that prevents it from getting to number one at Christmas, which is where it has always deserved to be, it shows the BBC bias against christianity
The christmas song lullaby for palestine despite being banned by the BBC may yet make the number one spot
RFK Jr. Bans Child Transgender Surgeries Nationwide – “This Is Malpractice, Not Medicine!”
In a historic move that’s sending shockwaves through the medical establishment and Big Pharma-funded LBGT gender clinics, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has unleashed a sweeping federal crackdown on so-called “gender-affirming change”
for minors.
Backed by President Trump’s executive orders, RFK Jr. announced a series of regulatory actions that effectively ban hospitals and doctors from performing irreversible transgender procedures on young children – including puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgeries – by cutting off Medicare and Medicaid funding.
These exact words, reported across multiple outlets including Fox News and One America News Network, expose the dark underbelly of an industry that’s been pushing experimental treatments on confused kids for years – often driven by profit and radical activism rather than real science.
Several recent suicides of kids persuaded to have surgeries, have prompted a big backlash
against the whole LBGT child sex programme
