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.

Private Intelligence
From KiriPedia, the archive of John Kiriakou's on-record words
Based on 1 recorded interview · Last updated
Post-CIA commercial intelligence work performed by John Kiriakou, both operational (surveillance, bribery, dossier-building for private clients) and analytical (paid forecasts for hedge funds, mutual funds, and a global mining company). Per Kiriakou, his clients ranged from a Cypriot billionaire investigating his daughter's fiancé to the ninth-largest hedge fund in the world.
After leaving the CIA, John Kiriakou worked in private intelligence, both operational and analytical. He described two cases that illustrate how CIA tradecraft translates to commercial work.
The Cypriot billionaire
A Cypriot billionaire with a single daughter, his only heir, asked Kiriakou to investigate the daughter’s fiancé, a Greek-Cypriot man living in London. The client did not like him and wanted everything he could find. Kiriakou accepted the case, flew to Cyprus, bribed a police captain for the secret police files, flew to London, and ran six weeks of surveillance on the target’s building. His findings: the fiancé had been stealing money from the daughter to fund a partnership in a London warehouse with an Armenian and a Turkish co-investor, a venture that was losing money, purchased with her funds under a false pretext. He was attempting to buy a mansion in London in anticipation of inheriting her wealth. Additionally, he had multiple drug smuggling arrests, specifically, smuggling drugs from Israel into Cyprus, paid off a judge to avoid prosecution, and was believed by British intelligence to be continuing the activity. The father confronted the daughter with the full report.[1][2][3][4][5][6]
Romanian mining elections
Kiriakou’s analytical clients included the ninth-largest hedge fund in the world, a mutual fund, and the largest mining company in the world. One assignment: predict who would win the Romanian municipal elections in September. Kiriakou knew nothing about Romania. He sent LinkedIn connection requests to sixty Romanian Orthodox contacts, obtained private polling data, and delivered an analysis. The context for the question: the mining company wanted to buy a silver mine underneath a Romanian village and would need to destroy the village to extract it. If socialists won the election, they would block it; if conservatives won, they would relocate the villagers and approve the excavation. Kiriakou told them the polls showed conservatives winning.[7][8][9][10]
