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 Greek brain drain
From KiriPedia, the archive of John Kiriakou's on-record words
Based on 1 recorded interview · Last updated
The editorial John Kiriakou read in a Greek newspaper tracking where educated Greeks emigrate — the United States, Britain, Germany, Australia — and the line he took from it: that when fifteen hundred Greeks with master's degrees, law degrees, MDs and PhDs move to Turkey for better opportunity, you know you are finished.
The Greek brain drain is John Kiriakou’s account of Greek depopulation, raised in September 2025 when a discussion of France’s demographic problems prompted him to name a worse one.
The scale
Told that France has a very low birth rate and has never fully recovered from the First World War in that respect, Kiriakou answered with Greece: “Greece is in the same predicament where it has the the largest population decline on a percentage basis in all of Europe, not just the European Union, but in all of Europe.”[1]
He dates the onset to decades earlier and the acceleration to the economic collapse.[1]
The editorial
His evidence was a newspaper piece he had read days before. “I read an editorial in one of the Greek papers the other day and it was talking about where educated Greeks are going. They’re going to the United States, to the UK, to Germany, to Australia.”[1]
The line that stayed with him concerned a different destination. “But it says when 1,500 educated Greeks, people with master’s degrees, law degrees, MDs, PhDs, when 1,500 of them move to Turkey for more opportunity, you know you’re screwed.”[2]
His interlocutor called it funny and sad; Kiriakou’s own word for it was “Terrible.”[2]
Where it fits
The exchange occurred inside a longer discussion of the collapse of the French government, in which Kiriakou pressed for explanations of Marine Le Pen’s disqualification and the sources of far-right support in France.[3] His own contributions concerned Greece: the depopulation here, and the Athens property market at the Parthenon-view condo.
