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.

A former CIA open-source analyst and frequent television commentator on terrorist threats, whom John Kiriakou dismisses in unusually direct terms: that she never held access to classified information, that she analysed press rather than intelligence, and that she has built a living out of predicting imminent disaster.
Sarah Adams is a former CIA analyst and television commentator on terrorism whose public forecasts run against John Kiriakou’s, and whom a viewer asked him about directly on 28 February 2026: what does a former CIA officer like Adams see that he does not?
Kiriakou’s answer disputed the premise of the question rather than the substance of her claims. “I think Sarah Adams is nuts, to tell you the truth.”[1]
The access argument
His objection is to the authority the comparison assumes. “Sarah Adams never had access to classified information. She was She was an open-source analyst analyzing press.”[1]
He repeats the point at the end of the answer for emphasis: “She never had access to classified documents.”[1]
The business model
The second half of the answer is about incentives. “She’s made quite a handsome living for herself by predicting imminent disaster. That’s why people flock to her. They’re like, ‘Oh my god, she’s from CIA, and she’s saying that the terrorist cells are going to destroy us.’ That’s how she makes a living.”[1]
The underlying disagreement
The dispute is not only about credentials. Minutes earlier in the same broadcast, asked whether terrorist sleeper cells would be activated in the United States, Kiriakou had said flatly that when he was inside there were none here — they exist in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia, and he was careful to add that his information is old.[2]
That is the claim on which the two commentators diverge, and Kiriakou’s account of Adams’s career is offered as the reason to prefer his version of it.
