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 Libyan constitution unveiling
From KiriPedia, the archive of John Kiriakou's on-record words
Based on 1 recorded interview · Last updated
A launch event John Kiriakou attended in Washington after the fall of Muammar Gaddafi: a new Libyan constitution, commissioned by wealthy exiles from a lobbying firm, unveiled at the lobbying firm's offices. He calls the document better than the American one — equal rights for everybody, the oil money shared — and notes that nothing whatever was done with it, because nobody in Washington had heard of the people behind it.
The Libyan constitution unveiling is an episode John Kiriakou offers as the clearest picture he has of how the United States handles a country after the government falls.
“When the US and NATO overthrew Muammar Gaddafi during the Obama administration, I happened to be invited to the unveiling of the new Libyan Constitution. It was unveiled at a lobbying firm here in Washington DC.”[1]
Who wrote it
“So a group of wealthy Libyan exiles paid this lobbying firm and said: write us a new constitution.”[1]
Kiriakou’s assessment of the text is not sarcastic: “this constitution was better than ours. It called for equal rights for everybody — women, gays, LGBT, whatever. Everybody was equal. They’re going to share the oil money. Incredible constitution.”[2]
What happened to it
“Did anybody ever do anything with it? Of course not — because nobody ever heard of these people in Washington DC, and nobody even wanted to read their silly constitution. Instead, we’ve had a period of what, 15, 16 years of fighting and civil war and chaos and death.”[2][3]
The lesson he draws is general: “the United States might think that it’s the good guy all the time. The United States might think that it can impose a peace on a country like Venezuela. And it never works out that way. It never works out the way the policy makers think it’s going to work out.”[3]
