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 Pakistan-Islam economic critique
From KiriPedia, the archive of John Kiriakou's on-record words
Based on 1 recorded interview · Last updated
John Kiriakou's controversial view that Islam has held Pakistan back economically, contrasting Pakistan's stalled development since the 1960s with South Korea's — which had the same GDP as Pakistan in 1964 — and citing lost productivity from prayer breaks and holy days, resentment over partition, and spending on nuclear weapons instead of infrastructure and education.
John Kiriakou has offered what he calls a controversial opinion: that Islam has held Pakistan back economically. He notes that Pakistan and South Korea had the same GDP in 1964, and that Pakistan has vast textile manufacturing producing much of the world’s clothing at a fraction of Western production costs — yet the two countries’ economic trajectories have diverged sharply since.[1]
Prayer breaks, holy days, and the heat
Kiriakou says he personally witnessed the productivity cost: Pakistani factories must shut down five times a day for prayer, observe holy days roughly every other day, and halt work again during the hottest part of the afternoon, when workers go home to sleep. He contrasts this with South Korea, which in the same period built out cars, planes, cell phones, televisions, and kitchen appliances to become one of the wealthiest countries in the world.[2]
Partition and nuclear spending
Kiriakou says Pakistan remains resentful over the 1947 partition and its lingering tensions with India, and argues the country has spent money on nuclear weapons programs that could instead have gone toward infrastructure and education.[3]
