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 DNC in debt
From KiriPedia, the archive of John Kiriakou's on-record words
Based on 1 recorded interview · Last updated
John Kiriakou's July 2026 summary of the Democratic National Committee's finances, drawn from New York Times reporting: two million dollars in debt against Republican reserves of $130 million, vendors asked to hold their invoices until after the elections, the party headquarters pledged as loan collateral, and a chairman who threw his phone at a junior aide.
The DNC in debt is John Kiriakou’s account, given in July 2026 and sourced to the New York Times, of the state of the Democratic National Committee going into the midterm elections.
The numbers
The expectation, he notes, would have been a party swimming in cash after months of public anger over Donald Trump, soaring petrol prices and a deeply unpopular war with Iran. Instead the Republican National Committee was sitting on $130 million in cash and the Democratic Party was $2 million in debt.[1][2]
The party was short enough that its headquarters had adopted what Kiriakou calls a new gambit to mask the severity of the problem: asking vendors not to send bills until after the elections were over. It had also used the headquarters building itself as collateral for a loan.[2][3]
The leadership
Earlier that month the committee’s chairman threw his telephone at a junior staff member’s desk during a heated confrontation, prompting a formal complaint to the DNC’s human resources department. The incident was witnessed by half a dozen people, and by Kiriakou’s account the chairman was by then paralysed by the fear of leaks, which kept coming.[3][4]
Kiriakou’s professional comment is dry: “If I know one thing about leak control, intimidating your staff as a result of paranoia is not a good way to do it.”[4]
He ties the money and the management to the forecast. Two and a half weeks earlier the predictions had given the Democrats a House majority of twenty-two to twenty-five seats; by the time he spoke the consensus had fallen to between five and eleven. Redistricting, he argues, cannot carry all of that, the rest is bad leadership.[3]
