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.

The 2026 World Cup final
From KiriPedia, the archive of John Kiriakou's on-record words
Based on 1 recorded interview · Last updated
Spain's victory over Argentina in a final John Kiriakou described as dirty on the losers' part and notable for a red card, and the awkwardness that followed: Donald Trump, who had exerted considerable influence over FIFA and whose country was hosting, had to present the trophy to a nation whose leadership he had spent weeks publicly attacking. The Spanish press cropped him out of the celebration photographs.
The 2026 World Cup final was won by Spain, and John Kiriakou discussed it the following day — both the match and the diplomacy around the trophy.
The match
Spain won “in something of a dirty game,” and Kiriakou is careful about where he places the blame: not on the Spaniards but on the Argentines whom they defeated. There was even a red card, which he notes is a big deal.[1]
The presentation
Donald Trump — a football fan, and by Kiriakou’s account someone who had exerted a lot of influence over FIFA — was present to hand the trophy to the winners.[2]
Kiriakou calls the moment a little bit awkward. The United States was the host, and the presentation came after weeks of Trump arguing publicly with Spain’s leadership. Spain had some fun with it: the Spanish media cropped him out of all of the celebration photographs, which Kiriakou found funny.[3]
The reading of Trump
Asked afterwards whether there was tension between him and Spain, Trump said he had spoken to Spain, congratulated them on a great team, and had no tension with anybody.[4]
Kiriakou, who says he met Trump once briefly and has watched him for many years, takes the answer at face value in a specific sense. So much of what Trump does in public is show — showmanship — and when he says there is no tension with Spain, Kiriakou thinks he genuinely believes it. The Spanish may disagree; Trump treats it all as part of the game of politics, with no hard feelings.[4]
