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 Israeli electorate shift
From KiriPedia, the archive of John Kiriakou's on-record words
Based on 1 recorded interview · Last updated
John Kiriakou's structural explanation for why he does not expect Israeli politics to swing back — that the influx of Russian and Ukrainian Jewish immigrants over the preceding ten or fifteen years has moved the electorate so far right that a viable socialist movement or Labour party is, in his view, gone for good.
The Israeli electorate shift is John Kiriakou’s account of why he treats the rightward turn in Israeli politics as structural rather than cyclical.
The demographic argument
Having allowed that the judicial overhaul might yet bring down the government — see Netanyahu and the Tel Aviv police chief — Kiriakou immediately qualified what any such fall would change.
“With that said, the Israeli electorate, because of the influx of so many Russian and Ukrainian Jews over the last 10 or 15 years, has moved so far to the right that I don’t think we’ll ever see a viable socialist movement again. I don’t think we’ll ever see a viable labour party again.”[1]
What remains on the ballot
The consequence, in his framing, is that Israeli elections no longer contest direction. “It’s just the question is going to be, are you going to vote for a right-wing government, a far right-wing government, or an extreme right-wing government? Those are their choices.”[2]
Kiriakou then applied the identical formula to Western Europe, arguing that fifty or sixty years of neoliberal experimentation, propaganda and corporate capture had produced the same narrowed menu there — with Greece supplying his sharpest example, at the Greek neo-Nazi seats.[2][3]
The American guarantee
Asked directly whether there is a sell-by date on American support for such a government, Kiriakou’s answer was one word repeated. “That answer is an easy no. No. We’ll support Israel no matter how murderous and how right-wing extremists it becomes.”[4]
