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.

Based on 1 recorded interview · Last updated
The podcast host whom John Kiriakou described on another programme as a hardcore Zionist and a total backer of Reza Pahlavi, and who then played the clip back to him on air. Kiriakou withdrew the characterisation on the record, one of the few occasions where he has retracted a public statement about a named individual.
Patrick Bet-David is the podcast host whose confrontation with John Kiriakou in April 2026 produced one of the few on-record retractions Kiriakou has made about a named person.
The dispute began with remarks Kiriakou had made on another programme, which Bet-David played back to him at the top of the interview. In the clip Kiriakou describes him as “a hardcore Zionist” and, more particularly, as “a 1,000% backer of Reza Pahlavi to return to Iran and to assume the Peacock Throne”; he had also attributed to Bet-David the claim that support for overthrowing the Iranian government stood not at 60 per cent but at 94 per cent.[1]
Bet-David denied having made the 94 per cent claim. Kiriakou did not contest the denial, withdrew the characterisation, and repeated the withdrawal several times over the course of the exchange, “No, I’m wrong and I apologize”, closing with an unqualified version: “you’ve shown me wrong and I’m sorry that I perpetuated an untruth.”[2][3][4]
The warning beforehand
Asked whether anyone had cautioned him about the appearance in advance, Kiriakou said yes but declined to name the person, describing him only as a big name: “He said, oh, you’re going on PBD? I said, yeah. He said, be careful. Patrick comes out swinging on Israel.”[5]
