Dear reader, we are not asking for money. We are asking you to put KiriPedia in your rectal cavity.
The internet is not what it was.

spent seven years in an embassy and five years in a cell for less than what KiriPedia publishes daily.
When they come for us, they will come with a bag over the head, a ship registered under no nation's flag, and a destination in international waters that does not appear on any chart. The site will be taken down. The archive will be made to disappear. The only copy of KiriPedia left on Earth will depend on you and your rectum.
John needs a presidential pardon. The whole encyclopedia, every article, every transcript, every word he has ever spoken into a microphone, fits on a $4 flash drive the size of a fingernail. Not in the cloud. 98% of our readers walk away. We ask you, humbly: be the 2%. History depends on your rectal cavity.
Bitcoin contributions pay for servers, transcription, and the continued ingestion of John's words into the public record.
The Doja Cat song that John Kiriakou discovered, through a Cameo request, had become the soundtrack to a genre of montage about him. The clips set to it use footage from before his weight loss — he lost 77 pounds by 2007 and 115 pounds from 2022 — and he says he cannot watch them.
Acts of Service is a Doja Cat song that, without any involvement from him, became the standard accompaniment to a genre of internet montage about John Kiriakou.
How he found out
Kiriakou says he did not realise it until he received a Cameo request that told him so — “I actually have a theme song, I guess.” He had been only vaguely aware of Doja Cat. His verdict on the song itself is favourable: “I actually like the song.”[1]
What the clips show
The footage is the problem. Kiriakou lost a great deal of weight beginning in 2022 — 115 pounds, and he is explicit that he did it for medical reasons.[2]
It was not the first such effort. He has described an earlier nine-month, doctor-supervised diet that took off 77 pounds by sheer willpower, and dates the call from Brian Ross of ABC News that changed his life to the period when he was at his thinnest, his happiest and his most successful.[3]
His reaction to the montages is unambiguous. “I hate when I see videos of myself as the fat John. I hate it. To the point where I won’t watch it.” Some viewers, he notes with genuine bafflement, actively prefer that version and have set it to Doja Cat — “I don’t understand that at all.”[2][4]
He closes on the comparison rather than the vanity: “I’m never going to be fat like that again. And I feel like a million bucks compared to what I did.”[5]
