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 Mayflower Madam analogy
From KiriPedia, the archive of John Kiriakou's on-record words
Based on 1 recorded interview · Last updated
John Kiriakou's argument, borrowed from the 1980s Mayflower Madam case, that the Epstein 'list' will disappoint anyone expecting a schedule of clients, because address books contain the dry cleaner and the Chinese takeaway alongside everyone else, and nobody keeps a spreadsheet of their crimes.
The Mayflower Madam analogy is the comparison John Kiriakou draws between the Epstein files and the 1980s prostitution case whose defendant’s address book, unlike the Epstein material, actually reached the public.
The book that did become public
What Kiriakou finds instructive about the Mayflower Madam’s “very famous little black book” is not the clients it named but the company they kept in it. “Yeah, she had her johns in there and she had her girls in there, but she had her dry cleaner in there and she had her Chinese food in there. I mean, the point is that’s what people do.”[1]
An address book, in other words, records everyone a person deals with, and appearing in one establishes nothing on its own. The conclusion he draws for the Epstein material is blunt: anyone “looking for a spreadsheet that says ‘my child sex client XLS’, it’s not in there.”[2]
Why that is not the end of it
Kiriakou does not use the point to dismiss the question, and says so immediately: “but that’s not really the issue.”[2] The issue remains the identity of the men who committed crimes against children, which a name-by-name reading of an address book will not settle either way.
His judgement on the government’s handling is deliberately non-partisan. The administration is “playing it too cute”, and he adds, “like all administrations” do.[2]
