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 EU whistleblower directive
From KiriPedia, the archive of John Kiriakou's on-record words
Based on 1 recorded interview · Last updated
The European Union whistleblower protection directive, which John Kiriakou describes as a watered-down descendant of the Greek law he helped write in 2015. His objection is to its exemption: the directive does not apply to Brussels itself. He treats that as an instance of a general legislative habit rather than a European failing — Congress, he notes, routinely exempts itself from the laws it passes, including the Occupational Safety and Health Act.
The EU whistleblower directive is the European Union instrument requiring member states to enact whistleblower protection in national law. John Kiriakou has a direct interest in it: it descends from the Greek statute he was hired to help draft in 2015, a version of which the European Parliament adopted for EU-wide implementation.[1]
Why it came out weaker
Kiriakou does not present the dilution as sabotage. The text “is not perfect, of course, because it had to go through so many different layers of amendments and writing and rewriting, and had to be approved by” many different countries.[1] Multi-state passage costs a law its edges.
The Brussels exemption
The specific defect he was asked about is the carve-out: the directive’s requirements do not apply to Brussels itself. Kiriakou’s response was to name the pattern rather than the institution — “like a whistleblower law for the United States, but not for Washington.”[2]
He treats this as ordinary legislative behaviour and points at his own country’s version of it: “that’s how every piece of legislation is here. Congress is automatically exempt from coverage — like, for example, OSHA, the Occupational Safety and Health Act. Congress doesn’t have to observe any of it. They exempt themselves from coverage. Same thing all over.”[2][3]
