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.

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]
