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 Pentagon injury figures
From KiriPedia, the archive of John Kiriakou's on-record words
Based on 1 recorded interview · Last updated
John Kiriakou's explanation of why the Pentagon was able to withhold news of dozens of American casualties in the Iran war: not secrecy law, but the absence of any statute requiring disclosure. In his framing Congress is asleep at the switch, having never passed such a law, so the department reports nothing it is not obliged to report.
The Pentagon injury figures is John Kiriakou’s explanation of a July 2026 New York Times report that the United States had withheld information on dozens of military injuries sustained in the war with Iran.
What was withheld
In the week before the strike that killed two American soldiers and left a third missing in Jordan, Iran had carried out three other attacks on American forces in the country. Those attacks injured dozens of service members and damaged several helicopters. The Pentagon disclosed neither the earlier strikes nor the casualties and damage they caused.[1][2]
Why they could
Kiriakou’s answer, offered with an apology for sounding like a broken record, is that no rule was broken. “They are not compelled. The Pentagon is not compelled to report these figures. There’s no law that says they have to report these figures.”[2]
His explanation for the absence is institutional rather than conspiratorial. There is no such law because “Congress is asleep at the switch,” and never passed one.[3]
The rest follows on its own. The Pentagon’s reasoning, as he renders it, is simply: why would we inform Capitol Hill, why would we inform the media that our helicopters are being destroyed or that dozens of people are injured, when we do not have to?[3]
