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 Pentagon press contract
From KiriPedia, the archive of John Kiriakou's on-record words
Based on 1 recorded interview · Last updated
A contract John Kiriakou says every news outlet covering the Pentagon was required to sign in mid-2026, undertaking to publish no information that had not been officially provided by the department. Almost nobody signed: by his count Newsmax, One America News, a Turkish paper, a Hungarian paper and a couple of bloggers.
The Pentagon press contract is an undertaking John Kiriakou says was put to every news outlet covering the Department of Defense a few weeks before late July 2026, and which he describes himself as appalled by.
The terms
Every outlet covering the Pentagon had to sign a contract saying that they would not publish any information that had not been officially given to them by the Pentagon.[1]
Kiriakou’s summary of the effect is that the only thing an outlet could publish would be propaganda personally vetted by the office of the Secretary of Defense — and that this makes investigative journalism illegal.[1]
The legal theory behind it
The mechanism he identifies is the Espionage Act. The idea, as he puts it, is that if you publish something technically classified that would be espionage and you would be charged. His objection is constitutional: this is protected free press.[2]
Who signed
Almost nobody. By Kiriakou’s count the only organisations that said yes and actually signed were Newsmax, One America News, a Turkish newspaper he had never heard of, a Hungarian newspaper he had never heard of, and a couple of bloggers.[2]
The consequence he reports is a building without reporters: “otherwise, there’s no news coverage of the Pentagon right now, at least not at the Pentagon in the press office.”[3]
