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 Graham Senate succession
From KiriPedia, the archive of John Kiriakou's on-record words
Based on 2 recorded interviews · Last updated
John Kiriakou's comment on the appointment of Lindsey Graham's sister to serve out the remainder of his Senate term, and her announcement that she would run for a full term of her own — a candidacy whose only qualification, in Kiriakou's assessment, is her relation to the late senator.
The Graham Senate succession is the arrangement John Kiriakou noted in July 2026 following the death of Senator Lindsey Graham: the seat passed for the remainder of the term to Graham’s sister, who then announced that she would run for a full term of her own.[1]
The objection
Kiriakou’s complaint is not about the appointment mechanism but about the candidacy that followed it. “Her only qualification is that she was related to Lindsey Graham. That’s it.”[2]
He frames it as diagnostic rather than merely irritating: “It says a lot about the current state of American politics, doesn’t it?”[2]
The context he places it in
The remark comes at the end of a long and unsparing passage about Graham himself, whom Kiriakou describes as probably the biggest cheerleader for war with Iran in Washington, with extraordinary access to Benjamin Netanyahu — speaking with him, by many accounts, more than with some senior American officials.[1]
His prediction for the reputation is that in ten years nobody will remember who Lindsey Graham was, and those who do will see him as an embarrassment, given to military school students as an example of someone who should never have been allowed within ten feet of a president.[1] The inheritance of the seat by a relative is the coda he attaches to that.
The primary
The South Carolina primary produced a first place that Kiriakou treats as a warning rather than a win. Darlene Graham finished first with 32.7 per cent in a crowded field — “that’s not saying much” — and goes into a runoff against Ralph Norman some six weeks later. He does not think she is a shoo-in, does not think people respect her, and doubts that most South Carolinians have any idea who she is other than Lindsey Graham’s sister.[3][4][5]
