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 Frank Kendall Air Force One case
From KiriPedia, the archive of John Kiriakou's on-record words
Based on 1 recorded interview · Last updated
The 2026 Espionage Act investigation of former Secretary of the Air Force Frank Kendall, an acknowledged MAGA Republican expert whom John Kiriakou describes as having publicly warned that the Boeing 747 the government of Qatar gifted the United States for use as Air Force One was not up to the security standards a presidential aircraft requires. Kiriakou reads the resulting grand-jury proceeding as embarrassment prosecution, and expects Kendall not to be indicted, but the case illustrates the reach of Espionage Act charges Kiriakou himself faced.
The Frank Kendall Air Force One case is the September 2026 federal grand-jury proceeding against former Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall that John Kiriakou has aired on his own show, an Espionage Act investigation over a public warning Kiriakou treats as a favor to the president, not a leak against him.
Kiriakou’s summary
“For anybody not familiar with the story, Frank Kendall, until, what, last year, I guess, was the Secretary of the Air Force. MAGA Republican, an acknowledged expert in his field. But he said publicly that the Boeing 747 jumbo jet that the government of Qatar gifted to the government of the United States to be used as Air Force One was not up to standards when it comes to security. You have to have like radar jammers and all kinds of crazy sophisticated classified gear on it. And it didn’t.”[1][2]
What happened next
“So when that got out, the president was embarrassed and he got angry and then he had to not take that one and they had to revamp it and then he had to take the old Air Force One. He was all angry. So he fired Frank Kendall and revoked his security clearance. And now there’s a federal grand jury that’s meeting to decide whether or not to indict him under the Espionage Act.”[2][3]
Kiriakou’s read
“Listen, what he said publicly helped to keep the president safe. So if I were the president, I would have just said, ‘Okay, so we’re just going to retrofit the jet and everybody’s happy.’ But now it’s this big cause célèbre. I actually don’t think they’re going to be able to prosecute him. I think this thing is going to drag out to the point where either the White House loses”, the interviewer’s clip ends there, but Kiriakou’s expectation is that no indictment will land.[3]
