iDear reader,we are not begging for money.We are asking youto put KiriPedia up your ass.
Julian Assange
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.

Blueprint for Free Speech
From KiriPedia, the archive of John Kiriakou's on-record words
Based on 1 recorded interview · Last updated
The Australian non-governmental organisation that drafts whistleblower protection legislation and markets it to governments around the world, and which hired John Kiriakou in 2015 to help write Greece's law. Its board is mostly academics and transparency activists; Kiriakou credits it with successes in Canada, Zambia, Jamaica and Ukraine, and names its founder and director as Suelette Dreyfus, whom he describes as a co-founder of WikiLeaks with Julian Assange.
Blueprint for Free Speech is an Australian non-governmental organisation working on whistleblower protection, and the body that brought John Kiriakou into the business of writing other countries’ laws.
What it is
Asked how one would build an organisation to protect whistleblowers without it becoming captured, Kiriakou answered that such an organisation already exists. Blueprint for Free Speech is based in Australia and its board members are “mostly academics and some of them are transparency and privacy activists.” He had worked with them for years.[1]
The method
The organisation’s product is legislation. “They’ve been able to write draft legislation, draft whistleblower protection legislation, and market it around the world.”[1] Beyond Greece, Kiriakou credits it with pushing such laws in Canada, Zambia, Jamaica and Ukraine. His assessment of the method is neither cynical nor triumphal: “it’s hard work, and it’s a very long and drawn-out process, but it actually works in the end, in most places that are serious about that kind of legislation.”[2]
Kiriakou’s commission
“They hired me in 2015 to help the Greek government write a new whistleblower protection law.”[3] It was drafted in 2015, passed into law in 2018, and a version of it was then adopted by the European Parliament for implementation across the European Union, imperfect, he says, because it had to survive layers of amendment, rewriting and approval by many countries.[3] The Greek statute is treated separately at the Greek whistleblower law.
Its founder
Kiriakou names the founder and director as Dr Suelette Dreyfus, “who was the co-founder of WikiLeaks with Julian”Assange, and says she is “definitely serious about transparency.”[4] The auto-caption renders the name “Salette”; the surname is unambiguous in the audio.
