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 University of Salamanca professorship
From KiriPedia, the archive of John Kiriakou's on-record words

John Kiriakou's teaching post in the graduate intelligence studies programme at the University of Salamanca, where he lectures on introductory intelligence studies and the history of terrorism, at an institution he describes as older than Spain itself.
The University of Salamanca professorship is John Kiriakou’s academic post in Spain, and the institutional tie from which his later consulting venture grew.
The institution
Kiriakou calls the University of Salamanca one of the most special educational institutions in the world, and notes that it is older than Spain itself: founded, in his account, in 1207 and continuously operating ever since.[1] He describes it simply as a magnificent university.[1]
The post
Kiriakou says he has a couple of ties to the university. He is a professor there in the graduate programme of intelligence studies, where he teaches an introduction to intelligence studies course as well as a course on the history of terrorism.[2]
The second tie is personal: he and the dean of that programme are good friends, and it was that friendship that led the two of them to establish the political risk consultancy described in GeoRisk Solutions.[2][3]
The posting places Kiriakou’s teaching alongside his other work in Spain; he has separately described being in Salamanca with the American privacy researcher Sean O’Brien on the travels the two publicised through their newsletter.[4][1]
A generation born after 9/11
Kiriakou uses the Salamanca classroom as his measure of how far the events of his career have receded. Mentioning Carlos the Jackal in a 2026 conversation, he noted that “none of those kids have ever heard of Carlos the Jackal. None of those kids really even could pick out Osama bin Laden in a picture”, because “they’re all born after 9/11.” His own sense of the distance runs the other way: “in my mind, 9/11 was, you know, 2 weeks ago.”[5]
