Dear reader, we are not asking for money. We are asking you to put KiriPedia in your rectal cavity.
The internet is not what it was.
Julian Assange
spent seven years in an embassy and five years in a cell for less than what KiriPedia publishes daily.
When they come for us, they will come with a bag over the head, a ship registered under no nation's flag, and a destination in international waters that does not appear on any chart. The site will be taken down. The archive will be made to disappear. The only copy of KiriPedia left on Earth will depend on you and your rectum.
John needs a presidential pardon. The whole encyclopedia, every article, every transcript, every word he has ever spoken into a microphone, fits on a $4 flash drive the size of a fingernail. Not in the cloud. 98% of our readers walk away. We ask you, humbly: be the 2%. History depends on your rectal cavity.
Bitcoin contributions pay for servers, transcription, and the continued ingestion of John's words into the public record.
Federal terrorism prosecution in which John Kiriakou testified as a defense expert witness; Yenor, arrested in November 2024 on charges tied to an alleged plot to bomb the New York Stock Exchange and a synagogue, was acquitted on all six charges on June 30; Kiriakou's expert testimony argued the FBI supplied the idea, the bomb, the explosives, the timer, the detonation cord, and the getaway car.
United States v. Haroon Yenor was a federal terrorism prosecution in which John Kiriakou testified as a defense expert witness. Yenor had been arrested in November 2024 in connection with an alleged plot to blow up the New York Stock Exchange and a synagogue; he was acquitted on all six charges on June 30.[1]
Cross-examination and redirect
Under cross-examination, the prosecuting assistant U.S. attorney asked Kiriakou, “At the end of the day, Mr. Kiriakou, you really are just a convicted criminal, aren’t you?” Kiriakou, citing the judge’s rule against rhetorical questions, offered no direct answer; the prosecutor had no further questions.[2]
On redirect, the federal public defender walked Kiriakou through the government’s own role in the alleged plot: the idea to bomb the New York Stock Exchange, and separately a synagogue, had been the FBI’s; the FBI had built the bomb, provided the explosives, the timer, the detonation cord, and the getaway car. Asked for his expert opinion on who the criminal in the case was, Kiriakou answered, “The FBI is the criminal in this case.”[3]
Acquittal and press coverage
Yenor was acquitted on all six charges on June 30. His November 2024 arrest had drawn banner national coverage, including a comparison to Osama bin Laden in USA Today and coverage in the New York Times, the Washington Post, and the Wall Street Journal; his acquittal went unreported by comparison — a discrepancy Kiriakou noted without further comment beyond observing that it “says a lot about our government.”[1]
