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.

Democratic silence on the Iran war
From KiriPedia, the archive of John Kiriakou's on-record words
Based on 1 recorded interview · Last updated
John Kiriakou's observation that the only front-facing critics of the 2026 Iran war came from the isolationist right, while Democrats said nothing. He attributes the silence to fear of an AIPAC-funded primary challenge, and singles out Senator Cory Booker as the illustration.
Democratic silence on the Iran war is John Kiriakou’s characterisation of the domestic opposition to the 2026 Iran war: the loudest and, in his telling, effectively the only front-facing critics came from the more isolationist right, while the Democratic Party said nothing. “Where in the world are the Democrats? They are utterly silent.”[1]
Cory Booker
He named Cory Booker as the case that angered him most. On an occasion before Benjamin Netanyahu’s most recent Washington visit, Kiriakou says Booker “literally ran through the halls of Congress to get to a photo op so he could stand behind Benjamin Netanyahu with his big stupid grin on his face” — an image he compared to O.J. Simpson running through an airport in the old Hertz commercial.[2][3] That it had happened after Gaza and after the start of the Iran war was the part he could not account for.[2]
The mechanism
Kiriakou’s explanation is electoral rather than ideological. “Some of them are afraid of being primaried. And God knows that AIPAC, if you are not 100% pro-Israel in your voting record, they will primary you and they will spend millions of dollars to defeat you. That scares most members of Congress. And so they’re just not willing to challenge anybody.”[3]
He treats the fear as comparable in kind to congressional deference toward the CIA — an analogy put to him in the same exchange, which he accepted with a correction: not fear so much as control.[1] His own encounter with the lobby’s daily presence on Capitol Hill is recorded at the AIPAC “Holy Land” trip offer.
