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.

Somaliland and Israeli recognition
From KiriPedia, the archive of John Kiriakou's on-record words
Based on 1 recorded interview · Last updated
Israel's diplomatic recognition of Somaliland, which John Kiriakou describes as a trade: recognition no other state offers, in exchange for an air base within reach of Yemen. He calls it the one smart move in Israel's response to the Mecca Agreement.
Responding to the Mecca Agreement, an Israeli official argued that Israel would have to deepen its relationships with Greece, Cyprus, the United Arab Emirates and Somaliland.[1] Kiriakou singles out the last of these as the only part worth taking seriously.
His description of the territory is blunt: “Somaliland is not a real country. It’s the northernmost state in Somalia. It is recognized only by Israel, not by any other country in the world.”[1] The reason for the exception is geography, “you can practically swim from Somaliland to Yemen”, and the consideration is explicit: “the Somalilanders are going to give the Israelis an air force base in exchange for this diplomatic recognition. Kudos to the Israelis. It was a smart move.”[1][2]
The rest of the strategy he dismisses. Better relations with Greece, Cyprus, Somaliland “even the Emirates, it’s not going to cure anything.”[2] The Saudis and the Emiratis are in a diplomatic quarrel and on opposing sides in Yemen, but Kiriakou expects both to pass, because the underlying fact does not: “they live in the same neighborhood. And so the Emiratis are not going to choose the Israelis over the Saudis. That’s a pipe dream.”[2][3]
