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.

Kiriakou's Iran trips
From KiriPedia, the archive of John Kiriakou's on-record words
Based on 1 recorded interview · Last updated
John Kiriakou's account of his own visits to Iran and his Iranian-American partner's regular travel there — noting Tehran's status as the cosmetic-surgery capital of the Middle East, a warning to Iranian state TV viewers about American fast food rather than American generals, and his own repeated but unfulfilled invitations to visit.
Kiriakou’s Iran trips refers to John Kiriakou’s account of his own repeated, unfulfilled invitations to visit Iran, alongside the regular travel of his Iranian-American partner, who keeps an apartment in central Tehran. On one of his own visits, Kiriakou recalled noticing large numbers of women in the city with surgical tape on their faces after cosmetic nose surgery; his interpreter, Ali, explained that Tehran is considered “the cosmetic surgery capital of the Middle East,” with Iranian women looking to Western glamour magazines for the look they want.[1]
”Concerned about Colonel Sanders”
During an appearance on Iranian state television — Press TV, at its main studio in Tehran, which he notes the U.S. later bombed — Kiriakou was asked for his impressions of the country. After praising the food and the people, he added a warning: “You don’t really need to be afraid of General Schwarzkopf. You need to be concerned about Colonel Sanders,” predicting that American fast food would eventually bring obesity and heart disease to Iran if it took hold.[2]
A partner’s regular trips
Kiriakou says his Iranian-American partner, who holds dual citizenship and keeps an apartment in central Tehran, travels to Iran roughly twice a year. He recounts her meeting foreigners from Oman, Kazakhstan, and Eastern Europe who travel to Iran specifically for cheap cosmetic surgery — nose jobs, veneers, facelifts — rather than to Turkey, which he says has developed a reputation as a cut-rate destination for such procedures in the West.[3]
Kiriakou’s own unfulfilled invitations
Kiriakou says he has been invited to Iran a number of times himself but has never been able to make the trip, even as his partner has gone twice.[4]
