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.

The president of Nicaragua, and the case John Kiriakou contrasts with Cuba: where he read the 2021 Cuban protests as a test run, he said Nicaragua's circumstances — a social security shortfall, a rise in the price of bread, and eight opposition party leaders arrested and imprisoned before an election — amounted to grounds for a real uprising.
Daniel Ortega is the president of Nicaragua, and the subject of one of John Kiriakou’s sharpest distinctions between protests he regards as manufactured and protests he regards as earned.
Discussing the 2021 Cuba protests, which he had just called a test run, Kiriakou volunteered Nicaragua as the contrasting case. “I’ve been following these demonstrations in Nicaragua. They started off because of a shortfall in the social security system, and the government raised the price of bread. And if you’re poor and the price of bread goes up, that’s a pretty big deal. But this social security thing was a very big problem, and it began to weaken the government of Daniel Ortega.”[1]
The arrests
What moved his assessment was the treatment of the opposition before the vote. “So the election comes up — there’s supposed to be an election this year — and so far eight opposition leaders, that is the leaders of eight opposition parties, have been arrested and imprisoned. So now there’s nobody to run against Ortega.”[2]
His conclusion is stated as a judgement rather than a prediction: “now to me, that necessitates a real honest-to-god uprising.”[3]
