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.

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.
John Kiriakou's account of writing letters, as research for a planned book, to several well-known serial killers — including David Berkowitz ("Son of Sam"), Gary Leon Ridgway (the Green River Killer), the BTK killer, the "co-ed killer," and Manson family member Tex Watson — and the uniformly evangelical, Jesus-focused responses he received instead of the interviews he wanted.
Kiriakou’s serial-killer letters were a series of letters John Kiriakou wrote to several well-known American serial killers as research for a planned book, drawing on his experience as an interviewer and interrogator. His correspondents included David Berkowitz (“Son of Sam”), Gary Leon Ridgway — the Green River Killer, who murdered 49 prostitutes in eastern Washington State — the BTK killer, the “co-ed killer,” and a member of the Manson family.[1]
The responses
Kiriakou’s first response came from Tex Watson of the Manson family, who asked him to help spread word that Watson had found Jesus.[2] A subsequent letter from David Berkowitz was, in Kiriakou’s account, also entirely about having found Jesus and read as insincere — “you could tell he was just going through the motions.”[3] Gary Leon Ridgway sent a thick envelope of religious pamphlets and asked Kiriakou to distribute them door-to-door in his own neighborhood, proclaiming that Ridgway had found Jesus.[4]
What Kiriakou wanted to ask
Kiriakou says he wanted to ask the BTK killer, Dennis Rader, how he was able to stop killing for 14 years, get married, raise a family, and get elected president of his church council — before murdering a six-year-old girl and molesting her body.[5] He describes the “co-ed killer” as having murdered his grandparents, his mother (who had abused and raped him), and six other women — decapitating his mother and having sex with her severed head. That killer, per Kiriakou, now works for Audible reading audiobooks.[6]
