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.

Consulting job entrapment offers
From KiriPedia, the archive of John Kiriakou's on-record words
Based on 2 recorded interviews · Last updated
John Kiriakou's claim that he receives a steady stream of emails and telephone calls offering him work — always consulting — that he reads as attempts to bait him into violating federal law, and which he says happens all the time.
Asked in 2021 whether he had reached a point of not trusting certain people based on how they speak, John Kiriakou said he had — and then described the specific approach he has learned to recognise.
The pattern
You can’t imagine, he said, the emails and calls he gets from people who want to offer him a job. And the job is always consulting. And it is always just baiting him to violate federal law. Asked whether the purpose was to get him in trouble and stop his case from moving forward and his getting his just deserts, Kiriakou agreed, and added: actually, it happens all the time. [1][2]
Why he treats it as routine rather than paranoid
Kiriakou places the offers alongside the other unwanted attention that followed his prosecution, including the threats that arrive whenever he appears on television, described in phone microphone ad targeting and at greater length in Kiriakou’s death threats. [3]
He also had a working precedent for the shape of the thing. In the same conversation he described a job in the private sector that arrived like a gift and turned out to be something else: the chief operating officer’s post at an Athens private equity firm, more money than he could have dreamt of, which he says he realised about six weeks in was a money laundering operation — so he resigned and telephoned the FBI. As he put it, it’s always something. [4] That episode is covered in Kiriakou’s money laundering tip.
On the wider question of what a former officer with a conviction can safely accept, Kiriakou’s standing advice to would-be whistleblowers is the same instinct applied earlier: hire an attorney first, and have one sitting next to you when you do it. [5]
