Former CIA Officer Says America’s Economy Depends on War, Not Peace
August 2, 2026
AMERICA CAN’T AFFORD PEACE, ONLY WAR.
Former CIA officer and whistleblower John Kiriakou exposes the dark, systemic reality driving American foreign policy: the U.S. economy has become so deeply dependent on the military-industrial complex that peace is literally treated as a threat to profit.
Kiriakou—who famously spent two years in prison under the Espionage Act for blowing the whistle on the CIA’s waterboarding torture program—isn’t guessing. He saw the inner workings of the state apparatus from the inside.
Billions of taxpayer dollars are constantly funneled into weapons, defense contracts, and overseas proxy wars while domestic infrastructure, healthcare, and education crumble.
Those who expose war crimes and state corruption are prosecuted, while those who profit off global conflict walk away with multi-million-dollar bonuses.
When an entire economy relies on weapons and war to function, peace actually ends up threatening the bottom line.
