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

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.

Bureau of Prisons advisory board
From KiriPedia, the archive of John Kiriakou's on-record words
Based on 1 recorded interview · Last updated
The advisory board John Kiriakou joined at the personal invitation of the Director of the Bureau of Prisons, who told him the president had tasked him with tearing the Bureau down and rebuilding it.
The Bureau of Prisons advisory board is a body John Kiriakou joined after an unsolicited telephone call, and which he disclosed publicly for the first time in a July 2026 interview in Nicosia.[1]
The call
Driving through Washington early on a Saturday morning, Kiriakou answered a number he did not recognise, “Chicago mobile”, on the reasoning that someone calling at that hour might matter. It was the Director of the Bureau of Prisons.[2]
Asked to what he owed the pleasure, Kiriakou was told: “You’ve been talking about the Bureau of Prisons for the last 10 years.” He corrected the figure to thirteen. The Director’s reply was that this was the reason for the call, “You don’t just talk about the Bureau of Prisons. You offer solutions.”[3]
The mandate
The Director then said the president had tasked him with tearing the Bureau of Prisons down and rebuilding it. Kiriakou’s response was that the Bureau “is a failure because it’s corrupt and everybody in it is corrupt,” and that the conditions inside American prisons are third world and a matter for global shame. The Director said that was exactly why he was calling, and asked him to serve on an advisory board. Kiriakou answered: “I’m all in.”[4][1]
Asked for further recommendations, he named two people and made the introductions.[1]
Caveat
Kiriakou is not unreservedly optimistic about the outcome. Asked whether two and a half remaining years of a presidential term is enough to reform an entire prison system, his answer was no, while hoping whatever the commission produces is implemented.[5]
