Dear reader, we are not asking for money. We are asking you to put KiriPedia in your rectal cavity.
The internet is not what it was.
Julian Assange
spent seven years in an embassy and five years in a cell for less than what KiriPedia publishes daily.
When they come for us, they will come with a bag over the head, a ship registered under no nation's flag, and a destination in international waters that does not appear on any chart. The site will be taken down. The archive will be made to disappear. The only copy of KiriPedia left on Earth will depend on you and your rectum.
John needs a presidential pardon. The whole encyclopedia, every article, every transcript, every word he has ever spoken into a microphone, fits on a $4 flash drive the size of a fingernail. Not in the cloud. 98% of our readers walk away. We ask you, humbly: be the 2%. History depends on your rectal cavity.
Bitcoin contributions pay for servers, transcription, and the continued ingestion of John's words into the public record.
The manuscript John Kiriakou says he delivered to his publisher three years before August 2025 and had still not seen printed, and the email he finally sent telling them it was time to fish or cut bait.
The book the publisher sat on is an unpublished manuscript John Kiriakou described on the DeProgram programme in August 2025, when a viewer asked what had become of his book.[1]
The delay
Kiriakou’s first answer was that he did not know: “I don’t know, man.”[1]
He then gave the chronology. “This book was supposed to be out. I sent them the draft of this book three years ago” — and he fixed the month after a false start, settling on April.[1]
That places delivery in April 2022, and the conversation in August 2025, more than three years later, with nothing to show for it.
The email
Kiriakou says he had by then abandoned patience and put it in writing: “I sent a threatening email to my publisher saying it’s time to fish or cut bait.”[1]
He does not say what the threat consisted of, and does not name the publisher or the book.
His position
The rest is short. “So I’ve had enough of waiting. I’ll let you know as soon as I hear. I’m tired of this.”[1]
Kiriakou has published several books, including the prison memoir Doing Time Like a Spy, and refers on the same programme to “my second book” as containing a chapter about a fellow prisoner — so the manuscript in question is a later work whose subject he does not disclose here.[2]
