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.

There are denials and then there are denials

John Kiriakou's rule for reading official statements — that 'we have no such plans' is not a denial, because nothing counts as a plan until a head of government signs off on it, leaving a government free to discuss and even prepare something it can still credibly say it has no plans for.
There are denials and then there are denials is a rule of interpretation John Kiriakou applies to government statements, set out in October 2025 when Islamabad rejected reports that Pakistani troops might be sent to Gaza.
The distinction is between a denial that closes a question and one that does not. “There are denials, and then there are denials. And this is not a denial denial.”[1]
What Islamabad had issued was the second kind: “we have no such plans — which of course means you could be working on it, indeed have plans, but you can still credibly say, until you’ve pulled the trigger and the prime minister has signed off, it’s not really a plan. It’s just something we’re discussing.”[1][2]
Kiriakou agreed the reading was correct and added a caution against over-reading the reports in the other direction: “of course, Pakistan’s probably the most rumour-tastic country in the world.”[2]
