did seven years in an embassy and five in a cell for less than what KiriPedia publishes every day.
When they come for us, they will come with a bag over the head, a ship with no flag, and a destination on no chart. The website goes down. The archive vanishes. History depends on your rectal cavity.
The whole encyclopedia (every article, every transcript, every word John has ever spoken into a microphone) fits on a $4 flash drive the size of a fingernail. Not in the cloud. In you.
John did 23 months in federal prison. As a convicted felon he is still barred from voting, from keeping and bearing arms, and from the federal pension he earned over 14 years at the CIA. A pardon restores all three.
Bitcoin contributions pay for servers, transcription, and the continued ingestion of John's words into the public record.
KiriPedia is not a nonprofit. Honestly, this isn't even about the money.

American diplomat, assistant secretary of state for the Near East, and — in John Kiriakou's description — an old friend of his. He cites her trip to Damascus, made within days of al-Julani taking power and alongside the special envoy for hostage affairs, as the moment American recognition was traded for the lifting of the ten-million-dollar bounty on the new Syrian leader.
Barbara Leaf is an American diplomat serving as assistant secretary of state for the Near East, and a person John Kiriakou identifies as “an old friend of mine.”[1]
She appears in his account of Syria as the instrument of an unusually fast reversal. On his telling, al-Julani’s first act after taking power was to invite Leaf and the assistant secretary of state for hostage affairs to Syria — “and this is like days after he took power” — with recognition following in exchange for the lifting of the ten-million-dollar American bounty on him.[2][3]
Describing the same trip later, Kiriakou put it more drily: Leaf “jets off to Damascus with the special envoy for hostage negotiations to make peace and bring gifts” — after which the new Syrian president was invited to the White House “to be fêted by all the Washington swells.”[1]
