Hi John, can you ask Julian to add the correction to the episode's description or add it as a pinned comment. I was astonished when I heard the story and many would believe as I did since it included Hillary Clinton :)
I admire and respect your integrity.
By the way, we would like to know who this "state department" guy is and what is he doing these days? I felt as if he used you to spread chaos into the church.
I’m a big fan of yours John, and you saying this is exactly why. I have some diverging opinions on the current general political situation in the States however I’m neither American nor have I had any sort of political/diplomatic experience in or with America. But I respect yours and have found supporting evidence to your claims which have also shifted my opinions. Always appreciate your transparency and looking forward to seeing other interviews.
John, we are both orthodox proud Christians, however my opinion for this person isn't the best. He has his nest dirty as we saying in Greece, I could say a lot but I won't. Love your recent podcasts. By far the best who know how to tell stories. Hope to speak soon
John, the International Orthodox Christian Charities NGO, Got at least $20 million from IOCC. Patriarch Bartholomew of Constantinople controls it, like he controlled the Ground Zero National Shrine Fund. Turkey has what 3,000 Christians there today? That's all Bartholomew really has. Everything else has been secured via relationship with US Intel. Non-Orthodox don't realize this. It's all too "Byzentine ".
Declassified documents going back to the Truman era show the Patriarchate is an assett of US Intelligence.
I'm sure you're aware of all this, too. Ethnic Greeks are over-represented in the US intelligence community. Why is that?
There was $80 million embezzled from the Ground Zero National Shrine Fund run by the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese under Patriarch Bartholomew. Work stopped. A lay Adminstrator was charged with embezzling $500k.
Then Gov. Cuomo talked Greek tycoons into covering the embezzled funds. They agreed under one condition: Bartholomew could not touch it. (NY Post covered all this).
Then Bartholomew uncanonically lifted excommunication on an Unrepentant Heretical Bishop in Ukraine giving Ecclesiastical cover to "Project Ukraine " of the Deep State, and the kay Adminsreator got off with a slap on the wrist. Faithful Orthodox saw this is in real time. It's Pompeo's little scheme. So did you. Didn't you? If you didn't you're blind, John.
They never did charge anyone for the remaining $80 million. Why is that, John?
It was crystal clear to every Faithful Orthodox Christian seeing "the signs of the times".
Retired US Diplomat, Jim Jatras, whose grandparents are all Spartans, touches on this in his book, "I tried to warn you."
So sorry to see your faith is so fragile as to not stand the truth. Being Orthodox does not require one to be Greek.
GOARCH and OCA are the CIA churches. Go to any other Orthodox Christian jurisdiction, John.
That you did this is disgraceful and since I am not a Christian I cannot forgive you for bearing false witness. However if you want to look into corruption of the Orthodox Church then please look into what successive governments of Ethiopia (Meles, PM 1991-2012; Abiye, PM 2018-present) have done to the church in Ethiopia including giving their souls to fundamentalist cults.
They've never been in Communion with the Orthodox Church. Period. They don't call themselves Orthodox. They're monophystites. Truly, you don't know what you're talking about.
The Copts aren't Orthodox either. The Copts left the Church at the 5th Council.
All this “Orthodox “… name use is inaccurate. It was started by Protestant missionaries to intentionally muddy the waters in Africa and the Middle East in the 19th Century.

John - I heard of you a while ago and I have loved listening to your podcasts. Thank you for your integrity!
May you have a transformative Lent! ☦️
It takes a bigger person to admit they were wrong. Thanks for clarifying.
A very rare mea culpa. Thank you.
Okay. You caught your mistake and have taken actions to correct it. It was a learning moment.

FYI the Russian Major General who released the information in the above story was assassinated not long ago.

You have something against Greek? Do you think the Greek own all the banks and porn?
I love Greeks. I hate lies. Lies and half truths are what the Devil uses.

Relax, big fella. I'm not asking for your forgiveness, nor do I care if you think I'm disgraceful.
I was under the impression that the Egyptian and Ethiopian orthodox churches are the least corrupted churches?
Bro, I there 5 years. When my very 🇪🇹 Orthodox wife wakes up I’ll pass on your opinion.
Dude, the Ethiopians aren't Orthodox. They never have been.
Mike, the Ethiopian orthodox is one of the oldest Orthodox churches on earth.
They've never been in Communion with the Orthodox Church. Period. They don't call themselves Orthodox. They're monophystites. Truly, you don't know what you're talking about.

Just look into the Orthodox Church of Ethiopia is all I’m asking.
