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.

Trump's NATO reversal
From KiriPedia, the archive of John Kiriakou's on-record words
Based on 1 recorded interview · Last updated
John Kiriakou's explanation for Donald Trump's turn from hostility to enthusiasm for NATO — that he genuinely expected Vladimir Putin to do as he was told, and embraced the alliance out of anger when Putin would not settle the war in Ukraine, because the alternative was standing alone.
Trump’s NATO reversal is John Kiriakou’s account of why Donald Trump, having spent years attacking the North Atlantic alliance, came to embrace it in 2025.
His general observation about Trump’s positions comes first: he is “always flip-flopping like a fish on a dock.”[1]
The specific explanation is about a failed assumption. Kiriakou believes Trump “really believed that Vladimir Putin would do what he told him to do”, and that he is “just so angry that Putin won’t just go to the negotiating table and settle this thing with Ukraine.” Having lost the bilateral route, Trump “now has got to embrace NATO. He’s got to. Otherwise, he’s going to be out there all alone.”[1]
The reversal, on this reading, is not a change of view about the alliance’s merits but a fallback position produced by the failure of a personal approach — which returns Kiriakou to the point he had been making all afternoon about the Gaza talks: “diplomacy takes work.”[2]
